This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit zeteo.comElon Musk gets called a lot of names by a lot of people, but not many elected officials find the courage to call him a “dick” without fear of the DOGE bros coming for them, unless you're Senator Tina Smith that is, the Democrat from Minnesota who sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Mehdi in her office on Capitol Hill.“It's so important that we speak out, that we speak the truth, that we don't hold back,” says Smith, a progressive Democrat who found Musk's move to email federal employees asking them to list their weekly completed tasks a step too far for an unelected billionaire.“I felt so angry for everybody who had gotten that email, understanding they were under so much pressure and so much uncertainty anyway, and I'm like… Who are you? Like, what gives you the right?” The answer? Trump, but Smith has a theory about that:“Trump is responsible, but don't you think that sometimes he's happy to have Musk out there, sort of absorbing some of that attack?... it's all performative.”The senator's harsh words are not exclusively reserved for Musk and Trump though, as the Minnesota senator is just as unfiltered in her criticisms of the Democratic Party to which she belongs, a party that she describes today as being “too cautious.”“I think Democrats have to have a real reckoning about the fact that the relationship that we thought we had with voters, our base voters and others, that relationship is not that great. It's weak. People don't think that we're standing up for them.”The Minnesota senator recently announced that she will not be seeking reelection next year, making this her final term as an elected official. “I think there's great power in coming, serving for a while, doing everything that you can, and then moving on,” she tells Mehdi.If you are a paid subscriber, you can watch the full interview above to hear why Smith thinks Democrats should be “getting the hell out of Washington,” the Biden administration's support for Israel, and her response to Mehdi's questions on leadership, Chuck Schumer, and more.Note: This interview was taped just prior to Friday's controversial cloture vote in the Senate.Free subscribers can watch a 10-minute preview.

Send us a textI'm excited to welcome back my friend and political activist, Darcy McKenzie. Over the years, as our friendship has grown, we've witnessed and reflected on some major milestone moments in history. Darcy lives near the very street corner where George Floyd lost his life, and her advocacy began on local school boards before expanding into key roles supporting both local and national Democratic candidates. She's a key player in the DFL (Democratic Farmer-Labor) Party, working to advance affirmative action, outreach, and inclusion at every level of government.In this episode, we dive into the political landscape, discussing Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz and the Kamala Harris campaign. Darcy has campaigned for an impressive range of candidates, including Muslim Attorney General Keith Ellison, Representative Ilhan Omar, Jewish Secretary of State Steve Simon, and LGBTQ Representative Angie Craig. She's also been a strong advocate for women leaders, supporting Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, as well as Representatives Betty McCollum and Kelly Morrison. And while she champions diversity, she's also backed candidates like Governor Tim Walz, a "straight white guy," and now she's fully supporting Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, a Native American leader, in her run for the U.S. Senate.Together, Darcy and I unpack the weaponization of DEI and CRT, and we share where we find hope and encouragement even in today's political climate.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Minnesota is abuzz with the news that Senator Tina Smith will not run for re-election. Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan jumped into the race almost immediately. Tim Walz toyed with the idea, but decided against it. There may be some other Democrats that are itching to jump in, but we'll see if any of them are willing to challenge her. We discuss some names that we think are eyeing the opportunity. Democrats are in trouble. They held the levers of power enough that they went too far and upset the electorate. Everything swung wildly in the other direction and the Trump administration is moving at breakneck speed to uphold its promises. It's not just Democrats in the political wilderness. Neocons like Liz Cheney, John Bolton... where do they go? They don't seem to quite fit the Democrats, but they are no longer a fit in the Republican party. All sorts of unlikely people have flocked to Trump's Republican party, and it's gaining steam across the nation. Are these permanent gains or just a Trump wave? Dems are married to men in women's sports and the Teacher's Unions. They keep going down. Prior shakeups like this have lasted for decades. President Trump has been putting Vice President Vance into situations to set him up to succeed and build a political resume going into 2028.

Kennedy has also talked about his concerns regrading ultra-processed foods. Two ---- The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas appears to be back on course after the terror group said it will release Israeli hostages this weekend as previously planned. Hamas had postponed the hostage release this weekend after it accused Israel of violating the truce by not allowing aid supplies to enter the war torn region. And number three — Failed Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is exploring running for the U.S. Senate. The current governor of Minnesota could enter the 2026 race to replace the retiring Tina Smith.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss another Senate Democrat retiring in 2026, Hamas planning to release more hostages but not meeting Trump's demands, and Rep. Schakowsky speculating whether the term “manufacturing” discourages women from pursuing those jobs.First, they react to the surprising news that Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith will not seek re-election in 2026. While Democrats remain favored in the race, Jim and Greg note that multiple retirements signal deeper concerns within the party. They also examine the Democrats' bleak outlook at the state level in New Hampshire and how strong candidate selection will be crucial for the GOP's chances of flipping Georgia's Senate seat in 2026.They also analyze Hamas' decision to release hostages based on the existing ceasefire agreement but not comply with Trump's demand to release all captives by Saturday. Jim warns that allowing Hamas to ignore this ultimatum without consequences could weaken the U.S. position, and he argues that the Trump administration must have a clear response.Finally, they shake their heads as Illinois Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky questions whether the term “manufacturing” deters women from pursuing such careers because it “sounds like a guy.” Jim sees this as yet another example of Democrats resorting to ridiculous rhetoric and political stunts as they struggle with their dwindling influence in Washington.Please visit our great sponsors:Oraclehttps://Oracle.com/MARTINICut your current Cloud bill in half if you move to OCI.
