Stew Peters

Peters was a speaker at the 2022 America First Political Action Conference, where he called for the murders of Anthony Fauci (lynched by hanging), and Vernon Jones (executed by electric chair).

In January 2022, Peters became involved in the legal case of Scott Quiner. On the Stew Peters Show, Quiner's wife claimed that Mercy Hospital was refusing to give Quiner proper treatment because of his refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Mercy Hospital refused to provide a reason for taking Quiner off of a ventilator citing patient privacy. Peters encouraged his listeners to "blow the hospitals phone lines up", and he also shared the hospital's address and named the doctors involved. Peters received criticism after his audience began making anonymous threats. After four days, Quiner was allowed to be transferred to a hospital in Texas which would provide the care that his family wanted. Quiner was described as the "most malnourished patient" a doctor at the Texas hospital had ever seen. He died on January 19, 2022.

Peters produced two anti-vaccine films released in 2022: Watch the Water, which claims that COVID-19 vaccines are derived from snake venom in order to transform people into "a hybrid of Satan", and Died Suddenly, which promotes misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and Great Reset conspiracy theories.

In 2021, he, along with L. Lin Wood, became involved in a feud with Michael Flynn and Marjorie Taylor Greene regarding Flynn's endorsement of Vernon Jones and the future of Kyle Rittenhouse's bail fund.

At the end of 2021, Peters was deplatformed from media services provider Spotify. This was due to his opposition to COVID-19 vaccines and government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

On May 30, 2017, Peters' agency, Twin Cities Apprehension Team (T.C.A.T.) was involved in a fatal shootout. The shooting left two agents and the fugitive dead. T.C.A.T. had tracked Ramon Hutchinson from Hennepin County, Minnesota to Greenville, Texas. Hutchinson was wanted after missing a court date for driving under the influence (DUI) arrest, assaulting a police officer, and cocaine possession. In Greenville, T.C.A.T. used a tracking device on Hutchinson's girlfriend's car to find him at a car dealership during a trade in. Cell phone video shows two T.C.A.T. agents approaching Hutchinson; Gabriel Bernal and Fidel Garcia Jr. When the two agents told Hutchinson the charges against him, Hutchinson pulled out a gun and opened fire. When it was all over, all three men were dead. When asked about the shootout, Peters said: "It's just a horrible loss. Fidel was just a great friend".

In 2015, Minnesota Law was changed to limit what bounty hunters can wear and drive. This was at a time when Peters was constantly being mistaken for government law enforcement.

In 2000, he auditioned for a film directed by Tyrel Ventura, the son of then-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. After obtaining a lead role in the film, Peters lied to Ventura that his brother was a teen heartthrob who starred in a popular 1990s sitcom. Tyrel invited Peters to stay at the governor's residence in St. Paul during filming. Peters went home to Apple Valley, a suburb 16 miles away, and later moved into the residence's guest room of the residence for several weeks, until he was evicted by the state troopers providing security for the governor.

Peters first began his career in radio in 1998 while working for ClearChannel radio as an intern at 101.3 KDWB.
