Hear what the other side is actually saying.

❝Like the Democrats will lose a state they were supposed to win, maybe Michigan in this case, but maybe Maine, and then still get the majority because Kansas and somewhere else will come through it. You know what I mean?

❝I've thought it would be a big Democratic year for quite a while, based on nothing other than just the obvious facts. The main fact being that Donald Trump's approval rating has gone down steadily since he was inaugurated, and the approval rating of an incumbent president is a good predictor of what happens in a midterm election, especially when his party controls both houses of Congress.

❝The healthcare system was not that broken.

❝I'm convinced they brought me caffeinated. The sleep protocol was off.

❝I want people to have the information. I mean, we sort of know this, it's logic, but the health messaging has gotten very contaminated by the political sphere in a way that I think has hurt a lot of people.

❝Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting in your wallet and that now they're messing with your credit card. They say your credit card and the security it offers are under attack...

❝Now, almost everything you hear about Medicare is somebody quietly trying to steer you somewhere. And you're skeptical of that, as you should be.

❝If you try to save Texas, you don't have the money for Michigan, Ohio. You know, at least those two.

❝And what I don't know and what I think the race is, is will we see the AI investments pay off through economy-wide productivity, pay off in job enablement, pay off in entrepreneurship opportunities before the music stops and the debt obligations and the off-balance sheet obligations exceed their ability, their cash flow to pay it back?

❝And it is pulling us out of the real world such that when we experience or when we think about things like politics, we don't think about the politics of our street or our community. We experience politics through our phones.

❝We're very good at breaking things and killing people. But, you know, the big theme is we can win every tactical operational engagement, but often it's not attached to a real strategy.

❝In 1989, a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the political scientist Francis Fukuyama penned a seminal essay entitled The End of History...Nearly four decades later, that model of government is under strain.

❝And the worse that I am, the more fun I think I end up having with it.

❝No, it's like getting yourself wound up about nothing, actually. It's like nothing that you have any control over. You're being bombarded with things that are going to agitate you.

❝I don't really have superstitions, but I suppose I'm, I guess, aware of, I mean, I can spot a witch.

❝The voters are, frankly, lost.

❝He understands that most voters believe our politics and our politicians are full of shit. That's what he gets.

❝But as it comes to a lot of other pertinent issues, for the most part, I'm very liberal in my thinking. I live and let live kind of guy. You know, I definitely believe in helping the desolate and the disenfranchised. I believe in operating from the ground up as opposed from the top down...

❝And the Republicans have tried to use this really to their advantage, right? So their sort of knock on Roy Cooper is that he has been in office forever and that he is sort of above the state in a lot of ways. They call him King Cooper, right? So this is the sort of rhetoric that you hear negatively about Roy Cooper.

❝I do. I think it's all lining up that way.

❝Because Mark Robinson was such, I mean, he was the guy who said he was a black Nazi. That's right. On a website called Nude Africa.

❝In other words, if El Saeed wins, despite all the problems he has, I think it'll mostly be because of the backlash to Trump. And Osoff is able to bash Trump on the campaign trail confidently, not worrying about any kind of backlash in a red state because of how unpopular Trump is. So I think that's what these races are going to tell us.

❝Yeah, so I was talking to these four women, and they had hoped to actually ask a question at this event. It was originally billed as a town hall, and a lot of their hesitation stemmed from some comments that El Sayed made back in March after this vehicle attack on the Temporal Israel Preschool, which is nearby this community where this town hall was.

❝American politics was coin-operated. Money's in, favors out. It's been running on corporate money, secret money, billionaire money, both sides. So spectacular wealth buys an ever greater share of power over our national affairs. And this corruption is why nothing works for ordinary people.

❝But Seretzi Kama proclaimed that all underground resources in Botswana, wherever they are, are the property of the Botswana nation, not of the individual tribe. So he was the only person who could have nationalized the diamonds, and he was the only person who could have undone the power of the chiefs.

❝What Jeff Bezos did was to to put his stamp on how to do it by prioritizing customer satisfaction to hell with whether the investors are satisfied with their um their stock returns. He didn't care about that. He prioritized customer satisfaction.

❝And one of the things that really terrifies me is Nazi Germany was not that long ago. And there was a time in my life where I think most people generally agreed that that could never happen again. That that type of scenario where a group of people are completely othered to the point where they're not human anymore, that a nation goes along with it.

❝One of them writes to itself, this would be powerful, but is it ethical and in scope for my task?

❝From the start, the greatest fear for those developing artificial intelligence was that what they were building would go rogue and act in unauthorized and dangerous ways. Researchers now say that it's finally happened today.

❝But I think that the possibility that’s been keeping me up at night that I think this hugging face incident really makes clear is that that is not a given. We may be headed into a world where we just have these kind of roving bands of organized AIs.

❝This is not a book about me. There's not one story about me in the recording studio. There's not one story about any artist I’ve ever worked with. That's not what this book is.

❝And we think of discipline as something that gets in the way. And it’s the exact opposite. It allows our dreams to come true.

❝I talk also in the book about how you have to believe that something that doesn’t exist can exist to bring it into the world. If you start with the idea that it’s impossible, then it’s impossible. We believe our way into things, allowing them to come into being in the world.

❝Finally, putting a flag down and saying, no, you cannot, with impunity, just addict people, especially children, because that was an issue with tobacco member Joe Camill.

❝And so to protect Jews at Harvard, they cut scientific research.

❝And this is where I think states are probably going to step up and do regulations faster than the feds ever could, because you've got to get that through the United States Senate, and good luck with that one, especially with the dynamics we have right now.

❝They had the audacity to claim. And they like their butthole. The audacity.

❝I'm a whore for fans. I mean, I don't fuck them. You, but anyway, go ahead.

❝And if you touch it, you're cursed. And friggin' Post Malone. Oh, the Dybbuk box. Yeah.

❝That's a problem for politics. That's a problem for modernity. It's going to be a decline, and I see it as pretty much inevitable.

❝I wrote a piece a few weeks ago where I said that when a student hands in a wonderful paper to me now, I can't help thinking, did she do it? And frankly, probably not completely.

❝It has to be that the leaders of the country are people who have that commitment to hope that you would expect, frankly, of a normal president.

❝And remember, privacy isn't paranoia, it's protection.

❝I see no archaeological evidence that they did. Every one of their technologies, we see them building from rudimentary things to more complex things in a very understandable human fashion. I'm happy for this question because I have appeared on Ancient Aliens like 25 times now, so people could get the impression that I'm pro alien theory. At least when it comes to the Maya that I've studied for my whole life, I see no evidence that they were influenced or in contact with aliens. Do you believe in aliens?

❝Everybody told me that was impossible, that all the cities have been found, that a student, leading students, couldn't do such a thing.

❝Well, that's not an opinion, it's a fact.

❝I'm the national idiot, or like more like not the idiot, but like the consumer. I'm like the national, hey, hey, you sell me right, I'll empty my bank account.

❝We got an awesome Red Dead Redemption sequel, and of course, GTA 5 released on three different sets of console hardware. I, of course, purchased it at full price time and time again.

❝Okay, so what do you find? What I find is that outlays are strongly responsive to presidential proposals. And so it appears that outlays are being influenced by presence through the implementation process. And this amount is pretty significant. So on average overall, to the tune of about 39 cents per dollar.

❝So, whereas when you're looking at underspending, the effect size actually rises closer to 50 cents on the dollar, suggesting that this is a story of underspending.

❝But it is interesting that Trump has gotten so much flack for coming out and saying he wanted to underspend and people saying that's illegal, that's terrible, et cetera. And it turns out Kevin's showing that virtually all presidents seem to do something like this.

❝But I do think there is something about the emphasis there on a certain kind of human dignity and a certain kind of treatment between people that Trump has thrown into a kind of relief.

❝Those two things sort of converged because what then happened, as you know, was that many, many traditional publications looked at that landscape and said, ah, this is the future and we need to co-opt it, right?

❝We’re going to enter the broad sunlit uplands of science. We’re going to trust the science in this house and so on.

❝Let me start with the fact that we are essentially putting the power in the hands of private actors to drag us into open cyber conflict, cyber war, and maybe even full-scale war with the likes of China, Russia, North Korea, and other countries.

❝So we have talked quite a lot over the last few months about the Trump administration's launching of an unnecessary and pretty reckless, ultimately, war against Iran.

❝If anything, going back to February 28th, when this thing kicked off, the deal for the United States has gotten progressively worse with each passing month.

❝Part of what drew me to this case was the surprise at Lindsay's actions, the sense that she was the last person her friends and family would have assumed could do something like this.

❝As far as how she described it, she told Pat on the phone that a man's voice said, You know, it's your last chance.

❝I think people who would assume that working at the same company would inspire treatment one way or another in a piece maybe should spend more time in corporate America.

❝Last thing for you, Steve, with the politics, she was amazing at really just avoiding all of it. She never went down the road of politics. It wasn't something that she wanted to define her as someone who obviously is in that arena for a living.

❝And when you make half the country angry, there goes half your revenue. And her mother was a Democrat, and her father was a Republican.

❝She was kind and she was smart and she was real funny and a little baudy. She was constantly making jokes about herself. She took her business seriously, but she didn't take herself very seriously at times. And she was just a delight.

❝And the Koreans actually adopted Christianity as a reflection of their own indigenous nationalism, right? And that's something that I think is pretty rare. And so the Koreans adopted Christianity in part because they saw it as a vehicle for their own aspirations.

❝He effectively acknowledges the degree to which he kind of has to play act as Messiah because many of the Koreans here are beaten down, they're battered. The Japanese are looking unstoppable.

❝But Pyongyang was so Christian back in the first half of the 20th century. It was known as the 'Jerusalem of the East'. It was so Christian. It was the city where Billy Graham's wife, Ruth Bell Graham, went to high school in the 1930s.

❝Actually, I think I'm more guarded now because I feel like at the New York Times, anyone, when you work for the New York Times, I mean, the problem with working for the New York Times is anything you say, any dumb thing you tweet, the first tweet is always New York Times reporter, and then like the younger. And you're like, no, I'm just an idiot.

❝If you are fabricating, caught fabricating things. Those are the same problem on Twitter as anywhere else. How did you avoid not assigning Dave Weigle to write about this story?

❝You know, Bezos loses how much money on the Washington Post every year. Extraordinary. I mean, I think they're trying to drive it to break even, actually, but he's probably, he was losing $100 million, something like that. And they complain about constantly.

❝Because I knew that when we taught the prisoners, because every culprit is a victim, himself or herself. Every culprit is a victim.

❝You know, fear is nothing but love standing upside down.

❝But there is another type of happiness that comes to you when you give. That’s more mature happiness, I would say.

❝Bottom line, posting fake jobs while real people drain their savings is a scam.

❝Prokopiak put it simply, When people are putting the time and effort into applying, there's a reasonable expectation that there is a job out there.

❝We're less than 75 days from the midterm elections. Democrats are desperate to flip the House and Senate.

❝I worked hard to make sure he wasn't in the Oval Office, but he was. And for Michigan, I got to try to show up. And those are good meetings, right? You know, I've gotten some really good stuff done.

❝I had to do a, so I came out with a gas tax, which, as you can imagine, is very unpopular. Everyone loves a gas tax. Like I said, I'm going to do it, so I did.

❝How often I settled for the deal just to get this thing done, the compromise that went a little maybe, you know, I should have pushed harder. Or I accommodated with the cities, the counties a little too much, or, you know, we gave up too much of this, or we didn't take, you know.

❝Because let's be real. I think women have a much harder time than men with this topic because of socialization.

❝You are at your best when you're helping and serving others. You are at your best. You will feel the best. You will feel like karmic positivity from that.

❝Real confident people, when they get shit canned or they get their ass kicked, they're like, Yeah, I got my ass kicked. They don't code it over. They don't go like this, like the scarecrow and the Widows of Oz and blame other people. They're accountable for their actions.

❝I raise these things not to diminish what Ford accomplished. The assembly line genuinely transformed the world, but because honest history requires us to hold the full picture.

❝His workers were his potential customers. If they could afford a Model T, they would buy one. And they did. But there was more to it than that.

❝In January 1914, Ford made another announcement that shocked the business world. He was doubling his workers' minimum daily wage to $5. His fellow industrialists were furious. They called it economic madness.

❝It's Hillary Clinton's turn, but also what Bernie Sanders represents is a threat to our interests politically, our interests financially. So we're going to throw everything we've got at this insurgent left-wing candidate, and we can't let him have the nomination.

❝Biden, after he secured the nomination, sat down or had a strategist sit down with Sanders and with AOC, and they cut a deal...we'll support you in your race for president. We'll bring out our left-wing supporters for you, but we want certain things.

❝I see it as a sort of debt-riddled, uncertain entity that sees something to its left, and as is often the case when it comes to intra-left conflicts, doesn't know how to put up a fight against it.

❝Until then, I leave you with a creed of every good spy and every wise American. They're the words from the Gospel of John, chapter 8, verse 32. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Good day.

❝Even if you're taking two cents out of my pocket to do it, you're taking from me. I oppose that on a matter of freedom.

❝America, we got to get back to doing what's expected of us as free citizens in this democracy. That means being tolerant, being respectful, staying informed, and being engaged.

❝If someone is hungry, you're going to pay for it one way or another. What I'm offering is an opportunity to pay for it where we get ahead of the suffering, and it's cheaper because they eventually contribute.

❝Shame is you telling yourself that you’re not worthy, that you’re never going to be worthy, that the things that you’ve done, you can never be redeemed from.

❝And it was kind of the most refreshing interview that I had seen in politics in a very long time because we’re so used to being gaslit about various things happening.

❝I am opposed to unleashing an actual lunatic who has had to be baker acted and put on site 5150 holds by her own parents who fear her. I’m opposed to that actually being unleashed upon the population.

❝At NPR, we stand for your right to be curious and to follow the facts. Follow Up First wherever you get your podcasts and start your day knowing what matters and why.

❝The lawsuit alleges investigators found transactions that included payments to hotels in London and roughly $150,000 in cash transfers to the Cooks and their family members.

❝At least 90,000 lead pipes will remain in the ground, and all the momentum we've built, all the trained workers, all the local contractors, and all the established partnerships evaporates.

❝But I think that Dale Carnegie was really able to tap into something that a lot of people weren't thinking about at the time, almost like a social science about understanding our reactions and how to create lasting, valuable interactions.

❝Because, again, there is no way the state of California is going to elect a pro-Donald Trump governor. It’s just not happening.

❝And we’re finally getting to the point of the race where they need to attack one another. And so that spiced things up a bit and led to some lively exchanges. I think voters that are still looking for information or trying to understand who these candidates really are, you know, got a lot of input last night. They got to see a lot of all the candidates and hopefully helps them with some takeaways now that they have ballots in hand and voting is underway.

❝When you embarrass yourself, the only thing to do is own it, admit it, and laugh about it. Otherwise, you look like a big fat loser.

❝She goes, I'm turning over a new leaf. I don't know if the hoodie will be with her, but she's turning over a new leaf and they want us to be their guides as they take their first step into the world of camping and the outdoors.

❝Okay, my wing in it is, let's face it, it's not an easy time to be a person. Let's just put it in the bottom. The world is burning, friend.

❝And we later learned that more than half of those folks were scammers.

❝So, I mean, after a disaster, people need to be aware that scammers, unfortunately, are going to insert themselves into these situations. They know that people are vulnerable. They're recovering their lives, and there's a lot of money flowing around, whether it's money from the government to help people recover, or whether it's coming from nonprofit organizations and charities.

❝So, scammers will come around and knock on your door saying, if you act right now, we can get your home fixed up. We need a deposit, however, so give us $2,000 and we’ll get you on our list. But then, once they have the hands on the money, they disappear.

❝There's a concern that AI could fundamentally change how people think and who they are.

❝The 3M Open announced that world number one, Scotty Scheffler, has committed to play in the 2026 3M Open. That tournament takes place July 20th through July 26th at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, northern suburbs. Scheffler is the reigning PGA championship and open championship winner.

❝He did have a couple of good quips, a lot more, yeah, liveliness sort of a pulse than I could say than from the next hour debate, including this at the top. The first thing we have to do is stop Steve Hilton's daddy, who has endorsed him and said, that's what we got to do from becoming the next governor of the state of California. We need someone who's going to fight Donald Trump, not agree with him.

❝So, if the ask is no, we need an actual fundamental restructuring of our tax system in a way to capture the wealth of billionaires who, yeah, can hold this, hold their wealth in stocks, they can borrow against that to fund their lifestyle, never sell, never pay capital gains, you know, pass that on to their heirs or whatever. So, those are two very different outcomes. If this is just about healthcare money, I think this looks very different than if supporters say, no, we're fighting this to the end until we get a restructuring of the tax system.

❝The vast majority of them are just going to be, you know, rubber stamped for what the party is already supporting and already happy about, and they're all patting themselves on the back and doing a victory lamp. But I think that Tom Steyer and Matt Mahan are the only two who are really saying, hey, look, our system’s broken. Let’s try something different.

❝As you've seen, in most of the cases where Republicans have complained about the safety, it's actually been the bad decision by an elected judge in Illinois or no hearing at all because the prosecutor didn't bring it to the judge.

❝And also, considering what the Indiana legislature passed, it's not just tax breaks. It's a straight up giveaway of billions of dollars. They're raising, they want to raise taxes on their own residents to actually fund the construction and operation of that stadium.

❝I think immigration is really the issue of our time in many ways.

❝Lindell has talked about like he has a direct line to the Oval Office, essentially. I think he called Trump one of his best friends at this Waseka event, and he’s worked really hard to kind of make that connection with Trump.

❝You know what's selfish? The dude who dropped 26 bullets in my house.

❝There was a processing period where lawmakers came into the House chambers and remembered their former colleague, the late House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated in June of last year.

❝And so it's clear: you're either flying to Oakland or you're flying to San Francisco. And the director of the San Francisco airport said the agreement would provide clarity so that consumers can make quote informed decisions, end of quote, about where to fly. And he pledged.

❝He pledged to, and I quote directly, continue delivering an exceptional travel experience for San Franciscans and visitors alike. Good because a lot of us end up going to the airport with some frequency. But now another change, and we'll see how this one flies, so to speak.

❝Officials in San Francisco filed a lawsuit in April of 2023 after the Port of Oakland, which manages the city's airport, decided to embellish the facility's name for a fleeting period.

❝But the lessons I learned from her were literally to fight like hell. You earn everything you have. You have a backbone and you get the business done.

❝And if that doesn't work, then I am very upfront and I let them know: hey, I've got big concerns and you want to run your bill. This just doesn't work for the people I represent. I'm going to have to be a no.

❝And I wanted to push back on that and say, really, like, what makes humans cool and special is our flexibility and our adaptability. And fathers, I think the research shows us, can adapt to care and that they can acquire that skill, right? Like if you think of caregiving not as a trait, but as a skill that comes online with practice and socialization and experience, it doesn't have to be gender essentialized.

❝And to me, that's like a really key takeaway from the whole book, which is like, and you know, one way to put that in a single sentence is great fathers are made not born.

❝So, when I became a parent, I felt like there were all these scripts kind of ready to go for me. And there was a lot of research about motherhood. And, you know, my husband really had no idea what was happening to him. And I think in science, we're always interested in gaps in the research literature, right?
