Deb Haaland in New Mexico, A Deadly Shooting in Minnesota and What's at Stake

Season 2 of the Andy Beshear Podcast continues with a powerful conversation featuring former Congresswoman and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland – now running for Governor of New Mexico.

Raised in a military family, a single mom who relied on programs like SNAP and Medicaid, and the first Native American Cabinet Secretary in U.S. history, Deb Haaland brings lived experience to public service and a clear-eyed vision for what government should do for people who are doing everything they can to get by.

Andy and Deb talk about what it means to lead with fierceness, stand up for democracy in moments of chaos, and why governors are the first line of defense against harmful federal policies. Deb reflects on her parents’ service, her own journey to sobriety and public office, and why programs like Medicaid aren’t handouts; they’re lifelines that strengthen families, rural hospitals, and entire communities.

The episode also includes a candid conversation with the Jo(h)ns as they process the latest devastating shooting in Minnesota, the erosion of our civil liberties, and what accountability should look like in moments of national crisis.

And, of course, the episode wraps with the return of Gen Z Lingo, where we really hit a "flow state."

It’s a wide-ranging episode about leadership, fierceness, and why the 2026 midterm elections – in New Mexico and across the country – matter more than ever.
