for some change, being ready for some change.

Joining us now, Yamase Agbewale, former White House Press Office Chief of Staff in the Biden administration and a senior fellow at Third Way, and MSNOW White House reporter, Laura Barron-Lopez.

Welcome back to the weekend, Laura.

So the Washington Post is reporting Advisors are telling the president, you know, things bad.

And while there is great wisdom in the front lines, when people are completely stretched and have no resources and capacity to do anything other than their jobs, it's very difficult to have really thoughtful, strong design innovation come about, be robust, sustain.

And so we said, what's a third way? Is there a way that we can actually tap into the collective intelligence of students who we believe are the most important experts in their own experiences, of educators who have a wealth of experience and wisdom, of parents? who are critical players in this, of employers, of community members, to all participate in the design process, but not just say to them, go figure it out yourself, but to actually equip them with really critical information about learning science, about the trends that kids are inheriting, about different models that are out there and offer them a way to participate together to come up with a vision for what they want for young people today and in the future, for what they want their graduates to know and be able to do, for the kinds of principles that should animate their school or other learning environment.

And to say, what can we either build ourselves or borrow and adapt from other places and pilot it and test it and see what works and what doesn't work and together learn from that and continue to go through that that process we call the design cycle, ultimately to get to a model that is really fostering extraordinary, not just measurable learning, but also extraordinary experiences.

And we we place as much value on the experiences that young people have as on whatever measurable outcomes they are, partly because the experiences drive the outcomes and predict the outcomes, but also because we believe that experiences matter in their own right.

Moderate Democrats have openly rebuked the DSA, declaring that the Democratic Party ought to stay explicitly in support of capitalism.

Third Way, the centrist political organization, has promised to spend at least $15 million in an effort to damage and defeat DSA candidates.

Democratic leaders, meanwhile, are hunting for ways to get the socialists out of their party.

Jamie Harrison, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said recently that those who, quote, hate the Democratic Party should not, quote, run for our nomination, a statement given generally but pretty clearly directed to socialist candidates.

I still feel that way, but then Hasan decided to do an interview with Axios for some reason, and he's g- he's getting asked about whether the US is worse than Al-Qaeda and, and he's like, "Yes." A- and I'm going, "Bro Bro, please.

Just like I was saying to Third Way, stop making-

Mm-hmm

...

Well, there you go.

Uh, we have been trying for nearly 160 years in this country to prevent the United States from exercising undue influence on us, and in yours and my lifetime, we have seen, for example, Pierre Trudeau introduce his Third Way initiative, which tried to de-emphasize American involvement and find other markets, other connections elsewhere.

Didn't go anywhere.

Uh, after, you know, certainly after Brian Mulroney and free trade, we find ourselves, uh, utterly dependent, uh, at the moment anyway, on the American markets for our economic future.

So we were...

anyway gentlemen glad you're here tim rice dc bureau chief daily wire matt bennett co-founder and executive vice president public affairs at the third way we love the third way south donald trump we love the third way we do love the third way it's a it's a great organization and uh it doesn't matter what your ideology is you got to just appreciate their fidelity to three things ideas civility and longevity in washington those are three things you can't find everywhere so thank you both for being here i hope you had great summers and um we dive right in Matt, just 80,000 feet, where is America now? There's the private sector, there's the Congress, there's the president, there's the citizenry.

Where are we in grappling with this explosion of interest now in regulating AI? Where do things stand from your point of view?

Yeah, I think we're in the middle of total chaos.
