Jason talks with Adam Schwarze who won the GOP endorsement for US Senate over the weekend. At that convention there was a "moment of silence" for Derek Chauvin. Jason asks for his opinion and Schwarze makes it clear he wants to talk about anything else. Take a listen to his reaction and decide for yourself.
