secretary steve simon. let me pull up your powerpoint and we will get started whenever you are ready. sec. simon: we are in the democracy business. it's been a few years in the democracy business. third term in office. when i first started running for this in '14, i used to have to do more explaining about what it was. in the intervening years, we have to do less explaining to the typical voter. no secret the profile of this post has been much elevated for the american people in individual states for a lot of reasons, some good and some bad. the ability to communicate with the public and partners in states, cities and towns is more important than ever. we tried in '24 to perfect and improve communications in minnesota. we experience highs and lows. there were crises large and small. i said that the outcome of the 2024 process, i had two goals. high turnout and low drama. that's what i wanted. i want to talk about the drama part, three things we did and intersperse horror stories from this cycle. news media,

simon, let's start with this interview musk did with joe rogan.he first time musk has discussed his work inside the government in such detail. what are your takeaways from these comments? musk made even his threat that he wouldn't be able to push so hard otherwise it would risk getting him killed. >> yeah, it was. >> really a fascinating conversation. i think it's the first time that musk has gone into such detail, and this is really a safe space for musk. i mean, in many moments in that long interview, it went on for about three hours. you know, he was acting almost like he and joe rogan were the only ones in the room. but in reality, he was talking about, you know, first of all, his, as he puts it, all access pass in terms of security clearance and talking very freely about some of the information that he had obtained through his through his access to the government's secrets. another thing that really jumped out at me is just how well he has come to understand the inner workings of the government's computer systems, and he seems to have really

what was it like when you saw that simone saw it? >> wow.because she's like such a role model for me and i always have looked up to her, and i think she's, like, one of the coolest people on the planet. so i'm, like, she knows i exist. >> janai: the mobile, alabama, phenom has been blazing trails since she started gymnastics at age 10, eventually getting an athletic scholarship to clemson with one goal in mind, to land that biles 1. >> my mom had a shirt made that was, like, i just made history, and i, like, lost it. >> janai: that was so cool and i asked her, what goes through your mind when you're flipping through the air? does your mind go silent or what? she counts her steps and then tells herself to go, and then it just kind of goes silent and she nails it. >> gio: she goes, she knows who i am. janai, great story. >>> also here the road to the oscars continues in our next half hour as we hear from top nominees like colman domingo of "sing sing." >> whit: yes, and we also have our reel talk roundtable. we turn to social media influencers
