WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.120 Come on up, Adam. We have Adam Schwarzie here. 00:05.980 --> 00:10.600 This is another great candidate running for U.S. Senate. Thank you. Go ahead. 00:12.220 --> 00:18.200 I know we've been here a while already with some great friends of mine, some great policies, can't wait to get them elected as well. 00:18.840 --> 00:24.200 I'm going to talk about two things today. I'll be really succinct with my message, and I'm really excited to hear what you have for me. 00:24.920 --> 00:29.420 So, those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Adam Schwarzie. I'm running for the United States Senate. 00:29.420 --> 00:35.420 I'm a political outsider. But I have fought for you my whole life. As a matter of fact, I love you. I have faith and freedom up there. 00:36.140 --> 00:41.380 Those are the two words I would use to describe myself. Actually, definitely faith, but what are my values? 00:42.080 --> 00:49.940 Why should you elect me to be your next U.S. Senator? Why am I going for the Republican Party endorsement and running on the Republican Party ticket? 00:50.620 --> 00:57.480 I think it really comes down to one thing. One thing alone. Values. What are my values? Why should you vote for me? 00:57.960 --> 01:05.580 I'm going to tell you my values. My number one value I want you to vote me? Christian. I'm a follower of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 01:05.780 --> 01:10.180 And by the way, not Sharia law, which is incompatible with our great United States of America. 01:13.440 --> 01:17.240 I have had the honor and privilege of serving you already my entire adult life. 01:17.520 --> 01:22.800 I enlisted on my 18th birthday to fight for you. Thank you, man. I love my service. It was great to serve. 01:22.800 --> 01:29.200 I've had the honor of serving more time downrange than anybody in Congress in the United States Senate. 01:30.560 --> 01:37.860 Ten years as a Marine, 11 years as a Navy SEAL, nine deployments to over 75 countries. So thank you. 01:39.640 --> 01:45.780 So, no arming, but I have deployed with a lot of Army guys. And I love my brothers on all services. 01:46.340 --> 01:49.440 So what does that mean, though? What does that translate to? Leadership. 01:50.180 --> 02:00.660 I've had the ability to serve under four administrations. So I know what leadership looks like. Bad leadership, Biden, Obama, and great leadership. 02:01.160 --> 02:13.640 The best leadership example I can think of right now is my 45th and 47th commander-in-chief and our great president, Donald J. Trump, who under his leadership, America is back on top. 02:14.200 --> 02:23.520 No tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime, the largest drug reduction prices in the history of our country. 02:23.940 --> 02:30.360 And it's not even the midterms yet. That's what happens when you elect a leader. And that's why I'm here, support. 02:31.200 --> 02:36.140 Trump's agenda, another political outsider. Who in here cares about election integrity? 02:37.360 --> 02:41.320 Who in here has heard of this beautiful piece of legislation called the Save America Act? 02:42.420 --> 02:46.840 Where is that bill right now? Where is it? Does anybody know? 02:49.940 --> 02:59.080 No, it's at the United States Senate's desk. Who is in control of the Senate right now? Republicans are. So why isn't that getting passed? 03:00.000 --> 03:06.540 Because we have too many soft DC insiders that are not fighting for common sense legislator. That's why I'm running. 03:06.540 --> 03:12.560 For you. The DC insiders are not doing their job right now, team. That's why I'm in this fight. 03:13.500 --> 03:22.040 It's just really sad that we have a Republican-controlled Senate and they fail to pass something that 84% of Americans support. 03:22.480 --> 03:28.880 This is not a Republican Democrat, conservative leftist, man, woman, black, white, rich, poor. 03:28.880 --> 03:37.720 84% of Americans support that piece of legislation. But it's not getting passed, but we don't have fighters in Washington supporting you. 03:38.340 --> 03:43.860 That's why I'm running. I know I'm in greater Minnesota. One thing I could tell is just that air gets better out here. 03:44.660 --> 03:50.800 But let me ask you a question. Is anybody in this room like guns? Me too! 03:51.680 --> 03:58.800 Besides being a Marine Infantry Marine for 10 years, a rightful man, as we're called, I'm also a distinguished lifetime member of the NRA. 03:59.540 --> 04:02.420 Nobody's going to support your constitutional gun rights more than I will. 04:03.180 --> 04:06.900 And as a leader, I say this, and my veteran brothers and sisters get this as well. 04:07.300 --> 04:10.400 I'm not going to ask you to do something unless I'm going to do it first. 04:10.960 --> 04:15.400 So thank God we've got some great, straight legislators here who are going to protect our gun rights. 04:15.900 --> 04:19.520 Federally, I'm not going to ask you to give up your guns unless I will first. 04:20.360 --> 04:24.540 Spoiler alert, I'm not giving up my guns. So your guns are very safe as well. 04:25.220 --> 04:33.080 And the last issue, the last moral standard, the last value that I do want to talk about tonight, it's provocative. It's uncomfortable. 04:34.120 --> 04:37.060 And it separates me from some of the other candidates running this race. 04:37.480 --> 04:41.420 But leaders don't shy away from the tough issues. We lean into them. 04:41.940 --> 04:48.180 It's the issue of life. Right now in the Republican Party, we have somebody running for the United States Senate who's a pro-abortion candidate. 04:49.360 --> 04:55.520 Very sad. I'm not leaning away from that. I'm not going to sacrifice my values to win this race. 04:55.620 --> 05:03.380 And we don't have to. And the issue of life, it's actually, it's a personal issue, as it is for everybody, but it's especially personal for me. 05:04.020 --> 05:10.580 Because I was adopted. I'm only on this planet speaking to you here tonight because my mom sacrificed 05:10.580 --> 05:15.680 so I could have a chance at life. Who in here is okay with expanding adoption? 05:16.540 --> 05:20.240 Who is okay with supporting expected mothers, getting government out of the way? 05:20.760 --> 05:28.800 What a great entrance point, right? We have thousands of children all across the country right now waiting to be adopted and loving families. 05:29.320 --> 05:35.000 So I am going to be a pro-life champion for the United States Senate because it's the right thing to do. It's the right thing to do with God. 05:35.640 --> 05:41.960 And it's such a great issue we can expand life. Why would we not want to do that with our money and our time on this planet? 05:43.060 --> 05:48.920 And lastly, has anybody evolved in the Republican Party here in this room? Awesome. I love this. 05:49.060 --> 05:53.780 And we got Republicans and we got veterans in here. My veteran brothers and sisters get this as well. 05:54.980 --> 05:59.400 Marines, Navy SEALs, my Army brothers, we fight and win on the battlefield. Why? 06:00.420 --> 06:04.940 Because we fight together as a team. That's what's going to take in this election. 06:05.080 --> 06:13.900 We can't have expensive divisive primaries. We need to come together, support your, the will of the people, down the ballot, which I'm doing. 06:14.460 --> 06:18.260 Whoever you endorse for Governor, Secretary of State, I've got some preferred ones that I really like. 06:19.260 --> 06:26.280 Whoever you endorse, I am supporting your endorsement down ballot because we can't have primaries in Minnesota in 2026. 06:27.440 --> 06:34.060 Prosperity, that's how we take our state back. And here's the best thing. We don't have to compromise. 06:34.340 --> 06:38.580 We don't have to sacrifice our morals, our principles to win. Here's the best. 06:38.980 --> 06:44.780 I know you've heard a lot of great metrics from my friends over here on the other side. Here's the best stat you will hear all night. 06:44.880 --> 06:49.900 I promise you. First, let's talk about the incumbency, the incumbent candidates. 06:50.740 --> 06:57.900 93% of the time, the federal DC elite establishment get reelected every single time on both sides of the aisle. 06:58.260 --> 07:02.860 They want you to think there's open and fair elections. It's a facade. It's a mirage. 07:03.500 --> 07:11.020 The Washington DC insiders, special interest groups, PAC money, foreign lobbyists, the military industrial complex, big pharma, 07:11.320 --> 07:15.880 they put money on both sides of the aisle so you think that there's a fair election and it's not. 07:15.880 --> 07:26.700 93% of the time, the DC swamp wins. But there's a small subset of American patriots who have figured out how to win federal general elections. 07:26.920 --> 07:34.500 Any guesses? Navy Seals. 93% of the time, the swamp wins. 07:34.980 --> 07:41.920 Navy Seals and general elections, 7 for 7. We are 7 for 7. We don't miss the target. 07:42.780 --> 07:48.720 That's a good bit set, right? Also, I can't be the first guy to screw that up. But I won't. 07:49.160 --> 07:55.620 And even actually going back to Minnesota, there's this wonky guy that didn't agree with all of his policies, but he won a statewide race, Jesse Ventura. 07:56.760 --> 08:04.180 Statewide race in Minnesota. This last election cycle, we actually had another Minnesota Navy SEAL by the name of Tim Sheehy, 08:04.340 --> 08:06.480 who's now the U.S. Senator in the great state of Montana. 08:07.340 --> 08:09.060 Didn't compromise on values, did he? 08:09.920 --> 08:17.720 My Eastern flank in Wisconsin, Derek Van Orton. Another SEAL, Blue to Red again. Down in Virginia, John McGuire, Blue to Red. 08:18.360 --> 08:26.160 Derek Van Orton, Ryan Zinke in Montana, Eli Crane in Arizona, Morgan Latrell in Texas. We've won. 7 for 7. 08:26.420 --> 08:31.980 How are we doing this? How are we winning all over the country? These races that usually 93% of the time, the swamp wins. 08:32.940 --> 08:44.400 One, we build high-performing teams. That's my lane. I am truly unimpressive in all the things in life, except I build high-performing teams. 08:44.980 --> 08:52.100 My last 7 years in the SEAL teams, I was a mission commander at the same unit actually that Tim Sheehy was. We build high-performing teams. 08:52.580 --> 08:59.940 That's why I'm here tonight. And we do the work. There's no shortcuts to becoming a Marine. There's no shortcuts to becoming a soldier. 08:59.940 --> 09:05.500 There's no shortcuts to becoming a United States Senator. You have to do the work. And that's why I'm here tonight. 09:06.200 --> 09:16.420 If you want to join a high-performing team that does the work to earn the win without compromising values, without compromising principles, please, please, join us. 09:16.940 --> 09:22.080 Team Schwartzi for Senate. Thank you so much for coming out tonight. God bless you. I'm happy to entertain all your questions.
