Podcast appearances and mentions of Tina Smith

Welcome to the skeptic's guide to impeachment. Why is a third impeachment effort of Trump necessary? Because demanding impeachment puts every member of Congress on trial, revealing who we can trust and who is bought off.  Meet unanimous consent: the Senate's dirty little secret, and the power Democrats refuse to use. Imagine if all it took to stop the Senate in its tracks was one simple word: No. Unanimous consent is a very real procedural quirk that gives every single senator, regardless of party or seniority, enormous power. All they have to do is deny consent. Just say no, and legislative business slows to a crawl. Now here's the catch: Republicans use this tool constantly. Democrats? Almost never. And that's not because they can't; it's because they choose not to. How does unanimous consent work? In the Senate, many of the chamber's archaic rules can be bypassed if no one objects. This process is called unanimous consent. It's used for everything from skipping quorum calls to fast-tracking nominations. The idea is to keep things moving. But here's the shocking part: any senator, at any time, for any reason, can halt this entire process by simply saying, “I object.” Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville famously abused this mechanism to block military promotions for nearly a year. And he paid no price for it. Why? Because it's perfectly within Senate rules. And yet, while authoritarianism rises, civil liberties are under siege, and people are being literally kidnapped off American streets, not a single Democratic senator has used this tool to slow the machinery down. By mid-April, according to Keira Havens, an organizer of Citizens Impeachment, along with former Congressional staffer for Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota, there were already around 500 recorded unanimous consent agreements in the 2025 Congressional Record. That's around 500 times every single senator, including vocal Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, gave the green light to fast-track Senate business. They could have slowed things down. They didn't. In fact, shortly after Cory Booker gave an impassioned speech in a historic filibuster marathon, the Senate used unanimous consent to speed-track a nominee: Jared Kushner's father, convicted felon Charles Kushner, to become the Ambassador to France. (Poor France!)  Unanimous consent isn't some obscure loophole. It's an incredibly accessible and completely legal form of leverage: a filibuster on easy mode. You don't need to prepare a speech. You don't need to command the floor. Senate Dems just say one word: No. So why aren't Democrats using it? The excuses vary: wait for the midterms, preserve decorum, respect procedure. But these excuses fail a democracy in crisis. There won't be a midterm rescue if authoritarianism cements itself into place now. Senators like Elizabeth Warren and Chris Murphy speak out against abuses of power, but actions speak louder than works, especially under the watchful eye of history. It's time to hold Trump and his lawless administration accountable.  What Can You Do? Start using the hashtag: #DemsJustSayNo Tweet at your senators: @SenWarren, @CoryBooker, @ChrisMurphyCT — Why do you keep consenting 500+ times? Educate others. “Unanimous consent” = silent agreement. Break the silence. Join or support organizing efforts like Citizens Impeachment that are pushing for real accountability. The Senate is designed to give each senator power. But power unused is power surrendered. Republicans understand that. Democrats need to learn fast actions speak louder than words.  They can say no. They should say no. And if they won't, we the people must demand accountability now.  The video of Part II of our discussion will publish on Patreon Monday morning along with the Zoom link for our next Gaslit Nation salon later that day at 4pm ET.

Vance Boelter's 45-Person List Minnesota Lawmaker Case EXPOSED Description: Uncover the shocking details of the most extensive political hit list in American history. This explosive investigation reveals how Vance Boelter systematically compiled a death list of 45 Democratic officials across six states, turning political disagreement into a blueprint for mass assassination. The June 14, 2025 attacks that killed State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were just the beginning of a planned massacre that could have changed American politics forever. This episode exposes the full scope of Boelter's target list, including high-profile names like Governor Tim Walz, U.S. Senator Tina Smith, Representative Ilhan Omar, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and lawmakers from Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Iowa. We examine the meticulous surveillance notes found in his possession, describing victims' homes, routines, and vulnerabilities in chilling detail. Through exclusive analysis with former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, we explore how Boelter's position on the Minnesota Workforce Development Board gave him insider access, why his targets were specifically chosen, and how his fake police disguise enabled him to strike. The investigation reveals his arsenal of weapons, the 20 SWAT teams involved in his capture, and the federal charges that could result in execution. Most disturbing: evidence suggesting this may not have been a lone wolf attack. Boelter's text about not wanting to "implicate anybody" and his family's attempted flight with passports and cash raise questions about a broader conspiracy. This is the definitive examination of a case that exposed fatal vulnerabilities in how America protects its elected officials. #VanceBoelterHitList #MinnesotaLawmakers #PoliticalTargeting #45Victims #TrueCrimeExposed #DemocraticTargets #FBIInvestigation #DomesticTerrorism #PoliticalViolence #MassShootingPlan #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #ElectedOfficialSafety #ExtremistThreat #PoliticalAssassination

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmDonald Trump may not always chicken out, but his on again/off again, advance-retreat dance does seem to insulate him from lasting blowback. It seems the only way to drag Trump's popularity down low enough to really hem him in is for his supporters to find out the hard way.In this episode, Matt and Brian tackle the questions:* Does the hyperbolic claim that “Trump Always Chickens Out” serve to insulate him from public backlash, while also perversely encouraging him to prove his haters wrong?* Would we be better off if he stopped chickening out?* Does defeating Trump (in Congress, the courts, etc.) weaken him, or does it protect him from his own unsustainable policies?* If we're all accelerationists now, where would failure (or catastrophic success) undermine Trump most? Economic mismanagement? Medicaid cuts? Mass deportation? War?Then, behind the paywall, some considered thoughts on how the Trump opposition would respond if Trump didn't chicken out. What can Democrats as a whole learn from the handful of leaders (most recently Alex Padilla and Tina Smith) who've drawn attention to their causes in productive ways? Are Democratic political fortunes best served if Trump's Medicaid cuts fail, or if they succeed? And how, in this hothouse environment, can progressives and moderates align to help Democrats recruit viable Senate candidate in red states?Further reading:* Matt argues you're not really alarmed about the slide into autocracy if you aren't willing to make ideological sacrifices to help Democrats win the Senate. * Brian's schema for when to try to stop Trump, and when to let him step in it.* Noah Wyle helps get the word out about looming Medicaid cuts.

The Preacher Who Planned 6-State Crime Spree Boelter Case Analysis Description: Dive deep into one of America's most chilling cases of religious extremism turned deadly. This comprehensive analysis exposes how Vance Boelter, a self-proclaimed preacher and security company owner, transformed from a man of faith into a political assassin with a multi-state kill list. On June 14, 2025, Boelter launched his "holy war," murdering Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband while disguised as a police officer. But the horror didn't end there - investigators discovered detailed plans targeting 45 Democratic officials across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Iowa. This episode examines the disturbing contradiction between Boelter's religious persona and his methodical planning of political violence. We analyze his months of surveillance, his company "Praetorian Guard Security Services" (named after Roman emperor assassins), and the twisted religious justification that drove him to compile a death list including Governor Tim Walz, Senator Tina Smith, and Representative Ilhan Omar. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down the psychology of religious extremists who use faith to justify violence, the warning signs that were missed, and how Boelter's seven-year relationship with victim Senator John Hoffman through the Workforce Development Board provided inside access for his deadly plans. We explore the 43-hour manhunt, the federal death penalty charges in a non-death penalty state, and the chilling text message: "Dad went to war last night." From his arsenal of three AK-47s to his Hollywood-quality silicone mask, every detail of this case reveals how extremism can hide behind religious righteousness until it explodes into violence. #VanceBoelter #ReligiousExtremism #MinnesotaCrime #PoliticalViolence #TrueCrime #PreacherTurnedKiller #DomesticTerrorism #FBI #ExtremistViolence #PoliticalAssassination #TrueCrimePodcast #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #MassShootingPrevented #ReligiousRadicalization Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

[This is a slightly different kind of podcast, a news summary - and will have its own podcast feed eventually]Every Fourth Turning, at least since the founding of America, has been defined by a great war: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II. When I began this Substack a few years back, the world war we might be fighting would be Iran, Russia, and China against the United States and its allies, including Israel. It made sense then. Not so much now. That was before Putin invaded Ukraine, before October 7th, before the United States government pursued Trump like he was a war criminal, before his attempted assassination, and his second win. Steve Bannon says we're already fighting World War III.Now, as Trump declares “unconditional surrender, " everyone wonders, is this it? Is this our great war?Iran doesn't appear to have an ally in Russia or China at the moment. Trump just met with his security advisers and will address the nation later this afternoon. It does feel a little like the post 9/11 drumbeat for war, and we're all still wary and fearful that it might turn into “regime change” rather than a negotiated peace. We will know what their plans are soon enough. The neocons like Lindsey Graham are prepared to go all the way.Earlier today, Tammy Bruce spoke to the press from the State Department:She mentions that Trump has made the same warning, that Iran can never have a nuke, over 40 times, going back to 2011. Here is that video:Dealing with Iran has been one of the main conflicts between Trump and Barack Obama, so it's easier to see how it started and how it's going. Trump's administration is not the Bush administration. If the 2008 Wall Street meltdown was the crisis that sparked the Fourth Turning and the mission is, as Steve Bannon says, to dismantle the Deep State that took us to the $700 billion bailout, then a big war in the Middle East would fracture the MAGA coalition. For his part, Benjamin Netanyu has said he believes Iran threatens America too, and indeed, they've been trying to assassinate Trump. If there is a graceful way to end the threat without getting into war, that's the path Trump will want to take.A MAGA Divided Cannot Stand.MAGA is split over whether or not to aid Israel in its fight against Iran. Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and Marjorie Taylor-Greene are locking arms with Dave Smith and Glenn Greenwald to push back against any involvement. Breitbart reports that members of the Squad have now joined Thomas Massie to limit Trump's power on Iran:From Breitbart:While he remains the sole Republican backing such a legislative effort, several top Democrats from the far-left of the Democratic Party, including “Squad” members Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), have indicated they are signing on to the Massie proposal.Alex Jones is opposed to any help or aid in Israel's war, writing:Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon discussed our involvement, with Bannon urging Trump and MAGA to keep their eye on the ball. He means to go after and dismantle the Deep State:Raheem Kassam sums up the internal conflict well:Ice Raids Paused, Then UnpausedThe Iran conflict is not the only dividing issue in MAGA. There is a split between those who want to support farms and hotels with their large immigrant staff, many of whom are undocumented and have worked for the companies for decades. Versus the opposing side, who insist Trump must not back off even an inch when it comes to mass deportations. Trump listened to them and retreated from his original plan to offer a potential middle ground.Federal Agents Arrest NYC Comptroller & Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander At Immigration CourtAccording to the Left, Lander was arrested for asking to see a warrant. But the truth is, he was arrested for assault, per a Fox report:New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by Department of Homeland Security(DHS) agents on Tuesday after allegedly assaulting a federal officer. The article quoted a DHS spokesperson,"Our heroic ICE law enforcement officers face a 413% increase in assaults against them—it is wrong that politicians seeking higher office undermine law enforcement safety to get a viral moment, no one is above the law, and if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences."Letitia James said:"This is profoundly unacceptable. Arresting Comptroller Lander for the simple act of standing up for immigrants and their civil rights is a shocking abuse of power. No one should face fear and intimidation in a courthouse, and this is a grotesque escalation of tensions. The administration's rampant targeting of New Yorkers only makes our communities less safe."The Democrats had four years of the Biden administration to do something about the border. They didn't. Instead, they encouraged millions to flood in, many of them unvetted. Yet, because the migrants represent an oppressed group, the Democrats can't turn away. They are choosing this as one of their base issues because it feeds their ongoing delusion that they are living under a fascist dictator. No Kings vs. Army's 250th AnniversaryThe coverage of the No Kings protest was amplified to look like a grassroots movement, even though it was well-funded and populated by the same people who had protested in the “Hands Off” event not long before. It reached roughly the same number of participants, around 5 million. This will be their playbook for the next five years.The legacy media muted the coverage of the Army's parade, and if they covered it at all, they covered it as militaristic, fascist-like, and compared it to North Korea.Here is a balanced report by Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine on 2Way:Assassination NationThe Democrats will not let the crisis of the recent shootings of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota go to waste and are currently calling the shooter the “MAGA assassin.”On the list of targets were 45 Democrats, “including dozens of Minnesota lawmakers and members of Congress such as Rep. Angie Craig, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Sen. Tina Smith. It also included members of Planned Parenthood, philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the organization, and several healthcare centers across the Midwest,” according to Fox9.As usual, the reaction to the shootings, horrific and tragic though they are, is far less than we saw for the assassination of the healthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione, who has been turned into a martyr and a hero by the Left. Both assassination attempts against President Trump were not treated the same way by the legacy media, and coverage was muted. Again, we turn to 2way to hear balanced coverage.If you think we're living through crazy times, you would be right. Every Fourth Turning feels transformational in good and bad ways. Change is all around us. These are just a few pressure points we are currently hitting as a country.Let me know if you like this format. Until next time.[I hope to turn this into video but I ran out of time to do it today. Next time]. This is a public episode.
