DEMOCRACY IN ACTION transcript [video]

Introduction: A child in the housing projects of Harlem becomes the first in his family to graduate. Kendall Qualls then served as an Army artillery officer and had a successful career at a top Fortune 500 company. Now he's here with an exclusive announcement. Kendall joins us now. Kendall, welcome to "FOX & Friends." You've got a big announcement this morning. What is it?

Kendall Qualls: Yes, I do. You know when you look at my life, it is the living case study that the promise of America is alive and well regardless of race, regardless of social standing, and I'm going to fight for our country again by signing and filing as a candidate for governor in the great state of Minnesota on the Republican ticket. My team is filing with state authorities and activating our website as we speak at kqformn.com, and that's kq for mn dot com.

You know what, we're fighting because in our state we were, it was ground zero on all the rioting, looting and defunding the police initiatives all started and spread across the country. And even now, two years later, we're suffering from record crime across our state, and in the center of it all is our governor, Tim Walz, for allowing that to happen. His weak leadership...dereliction of duty...

Cross Talk with Anchor: Kendall, your personal story is one of inspiration and hopefully you can inspire Minnesota. Thanks for sharing that news on "FOX and Friends" ...
