Jake Lahut

I wanna talk about Anthony Constantino, who is running in New York's 21st congressional district.

He was being interviewed by Jake Lahut of The Hut newsletter, and Jake asked a pretty reasonable question with a sort of fact-finding follow-up.

So he said to, uh, Anthony, "Where do you think you really need to perform the best to make sure you win this thing? And then also, what's the most populous city in the 21st congressional district?" To which Anthony said, "Most populous city? I don't know.

Ask Grok.

Also joining us, editor of cleveland.com, Chris Quinn.

And with me at the table, political reporter Jake Lahut.

He writes the Substack, Straight from the Hut.

Um, Sarah, you know I love to [laughs] ask you, um, where are we? What are you hearing? What are voters telling you?

And at the assignment desk today is independent journalist Jake Lahut and author of Straight from the Hut, Adam Moakler, host of the Adam Moakler Show, independent journalist and founder of Ahmed Baba News, Ahmed Baba, and Jake Conley, economics reporter for Yahoo Finance and co-host of The 8:30.

It's great to have all of, all of you gentlemen [laughs] with, with me here-

[laughs]

And I gotta go to commercial break.

So I have Jake Lahut, Adam Mochler, Ahmed Baba, Jake Conley.

[upbeat music] It's so good to see you guys.

Thanks for hanging out with me for the hour.

And with me at the table, host of PoliticsNation and founder of the National Action Network, Reverend Al Sharpton.

Also with us, political reporter Jake Lahut is here.

He writes the Substack Straight From the Hut.

It is good to see you all.

Like, I'm not sure-

I'm not sure you're right there.

All right, Liz Smith, Jake Lahut, thank you both so much for being here and getting us started.

Reverend Sharpton, we're gonna see you this weekend for Politics Nation, where you are talking to Angie Nixon, Justin Pearson, and Adrienne Adams tomorrow.

The comments from Paxton where he claims he has no control over his campaign follow an earlier audio leak obtained by The New York Times where Ken Pax- Paxton blames Donald Trump and his midterm convention for the drop in his poll numbers.

Joining us at the table, political reporter Jake Lahut.

He writes the Substack Straight From The Hut.

What's going on here?

We will straighten it out if and when a problem occurs.

Let's bring in Jake LaHutt, independent journalist and author of Straight from the Hut on Substack.

Charlie is also back with us.

All right.

And I think we're in a phase right now where both the US and China want to see what the most advanced model capabilities can do, and from China's perspective, how they can do those cheaper or for free.

It's interesting that you have, of all people, the governor of Pennsylvania being the one to lead on the possibility of what a framework would look like for China and the US to do this together.

Charlie, as Jake just said, you have recent Washington Post reporting that Trump and his sons have heavily invested in the AI economy.

So just I think the context here is that whatever he decides could affect his bottom line.
