TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Vince Lundgren, an independent candidate running for California governor in 2026. The conversation begins with their first meeting at the Finney Forum and moves into Vince’s background—from his Navy service and intelligence work to the injury that ended his SEAL training. He reflects on being aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during 9/11 and President Bush’s "Mission Accomplished" speech. After leaving the military, Vince faced chronic health issues and overcame a dependency on prescription painkillers, eventually finding purpose in outdoor recreation and earning a related degree.

The discussion shifts to Vince’s campaign, focusing on his critiques of California’s handling of homelessness, crime, drug addiction, and identity politics. He shares crime statistics he personally compiled, arguing they challenge mainstream narratives and are largely ignored by media. Vince discusses his stance on gun rights, his interest in Monero, and his belief that while his campaign is a longshot, it serves to raise awareness. The episode wraps with thoughts on alternative systems, Vince's passion for data-driven truth, and a brief story about meeting David Goggins post-SEAL training.
