It’s a jam-packed Friday edition of What’s On Your Mind with Scott Hennen and co-host Kevin Flynn. Senator Kevin Cramer joins for the full hour for an open-line, no-topic-off-limits town hall. From Elon Musk’s government exit and China trade tension, to bizarre boat license laws and rumors of angry Canadians, this one covers a lot of ground—and then some.
Top Takeaways:
-
Elon Musk wraps up his 130-day stint as a special government employee. He exits stage right, not out of conflict with Trump, but due to a time limit.
-
DOGE.gov, Musk’s efficiency watchdog team, claims to have deactivated over 500K unnecessary government credit cards and slashed 160 bloated contracts.
-
Senator Cramer just returned from a meeting with Canada's new PM and says progress is possible—even after the 51st state comments stirred some northern tension.
-
Listeners call in with everything from veterans’ flags to personal conveyance rules for truckers.
-
And Michelle Obama’s comments about reproductive health? Let’s just say Scott calls them “diabolical.”
