This final effort to other Abdul El-Sayed is appalling, and a good antidote is to listen to the way he speaks about what being an American means to him. This is from our interview in September:

Bill Gates on why we should tax A.I. work: “If you’ve let go of a worker and hired a robot to do that job, why are you so incentivizing the trade-off against the human labor that you don’t ask the robot to also pay into the pension fund? What is it? Is it that the pro-robot union has gotten the tax laws to say: No, if you’re not flesh, then let pensions go bankrupt?”

Trump often lies about Democrats giving healthcare to undocumented immigrants. In California, Newsom actually did it. And defends it. "I'm proud of that. I believe in universal health care." But, he says, "we failed on the border. We need to own up to that."

David Robinson tells me why he quit OpenAI: "I didn’t think that we were going to be able to create something fundamentally smarter than we were...when it became clear to me that we were on track to build something that could think circles around us — and we were this far from being ready for that at a safety and alignment level — it just became apparent to me that my time helping build it was over." We talk about this in the episode, but is the "good" outcome here...actually good?

"Economic justice is mentioned 3,000 times in our Scriptures, both the New Testament and the Hebrew Scriptures. This is such a core part of our tradition, and it’s nowhere to be seen in Christian nationalism or on the religious right." - James Talarico

On Friday, I hosted a forum with the top 5 Democrats running for governor of California on how they'd fix the state's housing crisis. Some really interesting moments, including this one, from Katie Porter, on California Forever and master-planned communities. Full forum on podcast apps/Youtube.

If liberals do not want Americans to turn to the false promise of strongmen, they need to offer the fruits of effective government. But that means admitting where the governments they run have gone wrong.

Last week, Ben Rhodes and I did a munkdebates against Kevin Roberts and Kellyanne Conway on whether Trump is leading America into a new golden age. We won. This is from my closing statement. There’s nothing golden about a movement that bathes in gratuitous cruelty.

One of the real advantages Democrats have going into 2026 is that Trump seems to genuinely believe his presidency is going great.

Democrats still believe the type of attention you get is the most important thing. Republicans now understand that the volume of attention you get is the most important thing. Absolutely loved this conversation with Chris Hayes.
