Laurie SegallHOST
Hmm.
Natasha SingerGUEST
And parents and legislators on the left and right, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, the last couple of years have wanted more civics, and civics is about power.
Natasha SingerGUEST
It teaches kids, how does the government work? Why do we th- have three branches? Why do we have checks and balances? What are your rights as an individual? How can you cause positive change as a member of a community, right? And so the teachers I am spending time with, or did this year, some of them, like, they're developing courses that I would not call AI literacy.
Natasha SingerGUEST
I'm calling it AI civics-
Bernie SandersGUEST
We got $10 million in 30-second ads against you.
Bernie SandersGUEST
Let's see what you're gonna do." And I think the time right now is for members of Congress, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, to have the guts to stand up to them and represent their constituents.
Kaitlan CollinsHOST
Okay.
Kaitlan CollinsHOST
So let's say that a miracle does happen, and Republicans, Democrats, Independents come together, and they pass what you want to pass here, banning superintelligence, putting this pause on, on AI development.
Kaitlan CollinsHOST
China's not gonna pass that bill.
Kaitlan CollinsHOST
If China doesn't pass that, then what happens? They're still working on it.
Larry O'ConnorHOST
You saw that last night.
Larry O'ConnorHOST
The other thing they need to do is to communicate the policies that, that reach over to Democrats and Independents that aren't comfortable with the direction the Democrat party is taking right now, and they will vote on those issues that the Democrats have ignored them on.
Larry O'ConnorHOST
I think that's what you'll see tonight.
Larry O'ConnorHOST
I think tonight is gonna be very policy-oriented on issues that are 80/20, that, that Independents aren't comfortable with where the Democrats are.
Larry O'ConnorHOST
And then, yeah, finally, this is J.D. Vance's big opportunity to say, "I'm the future, and here's why I'm the future," and sort of, uh, silence any doubters.
Kevin WallingHOST
Can you, can we clip that team and say Larry's saying it's gonna be very policy-focused tonight? [laughs]
Hyma MooreGUEST
Look, I unfortunately did not take a lot of time off this summer, but I did travel a lot, and I spent a lot of time in these states.
Hyma MooreGUEST
And people, you know, there's something- Republicans, Democrats, Independents, there's something to be said about good governance that is sort of undergirding, uh, uh, you know, something...
Hyma MooreGUEST
I'm not sure if it's gonna fully break the dam just yet, but I think a lot of people in the country, you know, and the, and the reason why even some of the Democrats who've been around for a long time are getting sent home, 'cause people just want people to, to...
Hyma MooreGUEST
I mean, their, their, their politicians to give them effective government to directly-
Sydney Kamlager-DoveGUEST
And Ken Paxton is running scared because he has a terrible record.
Sydney Kamlager-DoveGUEST
So they can continue to talk about James, but James is working to talk not just to Democrats, but to Independents and Republicans.
Sydney Kamlager-DoveGUEST
And they're thinking to themselves, "Well, Texas is supposed to be ruby red.
Sydney Kamlager-DoveGUEST
And hey, we've got problems with the polls.
Joe ScarboroughHOST
You can see the trend line dropping during President Trump's current term.
Joe ScarboroughHOST
When it comes to political affiliation, consumer sentiment is down among Democrats, Independents, and Republicans.
Joe ScarboroughHOST
That's, of course, a University of Michigan, uh, survey.
Joe ScarboroughHOST
The top bar graph shows the average consumer sentiment by party affiliation during Donald Trump's first term, the bottom during, uh, this last term and last month.
Joe ScarboroughHOST
...
Joe ScarboroughHOST
this Republican Party out of it, and let's just say generic party A and generic party B.
Joe ScarboroughHOST
If you're just looking at generic party A and they have a president with a 32% approval rating, with only 72% of their own party supporting that president, 26% of Independents and 4% of Democrats supporting that party, tell me, where does that midterm election go?
Jonathan MartinGUEST
I'm reminded of the great philosopher who said that it'd be a thumping.
Rita ButrosNARRATOR
Was not the church of St. Mary in the Wood connected with the Church of England? It originally belonged to the Roman Catholics and remained in their hands till the Reformation in 1534.
Rita ButrosNARRATOR
Since then it has been alternately in the hands of Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Independents.
Rita ButrosNARRATOR
It has had different names in its time, St. Mary and St. Nicholas being two of them.
Rita ButrosNARRATOR
In later years it was known as Morley Old Chapel and occupied by the Independents till 1873, when the structure became unsafe and was pulled down.
Rita ButrosNARRATOR
It must have been a source of bitter regret to the inhabitants when this ancient historical edifice vanished from their sight.
Rita ButrosNARRATOR
What hallowed associations were connected therewith? Here many of the ejected ministers of 1662 sought refuge when silenced by the Act of Uniformity.
Drill Sergeant DougHOST
Mm-hmm.
Aden SwallowGUEST
And the Democrats have a lower registration rate, that they're about 23%, the Republicans have about 46, and then the Independents are about 36, 37 last they, last they did the, um, the, the registration numbers.
Aden SwallowGUEST
But even in the 2024 election, mo- almost 5,000 registered Democrats sat out because they didn't wanna vote in the 2024 election.
Aden SwallowGUEST
And, um, if we, if we actually turn out, if the Democrats turn out, like I, I anticipate the Dem- that the Democrats will turn out, but they have to turn out.
Aden SwallowGUEST
And then some Republican, I probably gotta flip some Republicans, and then Independents also need to, right? And then if we can mobilize the younger base, that would actually bolster everything, but that's, that, that's a hit or miss right now at the moment.
Aden SwallowGUEST
But if we actually turn out, we can beat the numbers.
Aden SwallowGUEST
My win number is only 50,000 votes.
Wajahat AliGUEST
You've seen the polls.
Wajahat AliGUEST
It's not just Democrats anymore, it's Independents.
Wajahat AliGUEST
And then the double middle finger.
Wajahat AliGUEST
What had happened? What happened? Let's just be honest, folks.
Mike TrujilloPANELIST
...
Mike TrujilloPANELIST
this includes Democrats and Republicans alike, and Independents, voter enthusiasm across the spectrum is low.
TJ TroutHOST
Yeah.
Mike TrujilloPANELIST
And I thought about, you know, this convention, what's it going to serve? Well, it may temporarily spike voter enthusiasm on the right.
