Welcome to the beat. I'm Ari Melburgh. Our first guest tonight is Senator Cory Booker, fresh off that record setting.

Thank you. Marathon Senate speech. Very pleased to have you join us, Senator. So we'll be seeing you in a moment. Of course, as everyone knows, he's stepped up as the leader for the Democrats here confronting the second Trump term. And I will now tell the folks what just about everyone in the

country saw. Booker's address argued that Trump's lawless second term is now a crisis,

galvanizing a new political mood that is being felt as Democrats also are just gaining ground

in those special elections yesterday while Trump's on defense. And there's talk of a pivot away

from must-trusading agenda.

The billionaire and outside money that he spent was still part of a losing effort in Wisconsin last

night, a liberal Democratic judge winning there. President Trump now approaching his 100-day mark

with, frankly, few wins, a few losses. No major bills pass, zero, and mounting outrage

and a revolt that has spanned red and blue America. It is possible that with Senator Booker's help,

we're about to hear from him momentarily, some of the power dynamics are now being reshaped

before our eyes.

It appears that voters in Wisconsin are all out of love are Elon Musk.

A major blow to President Trump and Elon Musk.

Elon Musk simply put is an unpopular guy.

He is political poison.

This was viewed as one of the first major political tests for President Trump and his coalition. This result in Wisconsin is a huge, huge defeat for Elon Musk. There are a few

people in American public life who are as underwater in terms of the way the American public views

them as Elon Musk is.

Consequences, results. And this is supposed to be the, quote, honeymoon period. There are still

laws of gravity in politics. The winning candidate in President Trump is supposed to do best

in those first 100, 200 days. It's when they have momentum.
