2734 - Republicans Are Losing Ground in Deep-Red States w/ David Dayen

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report

On today's program:

The Republican brand has become so toxic that even ancient conservative Fox hosts Stuart Varney and Larry Kudlow are being forced to acknowledge the party's lies and incompetence heading into the midterms.

David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect and co-host of the Organized Money podcast, joins to recap the week's news. Topics discussed include the midterms, AI regulation and more.

In the Fun Half:

Lina Khan speaks to The Atlantic about how AI companies are already subject to regulation and laws and how that seems to be absent from the conversation around these companies.

Alex Karp gives a bizarre interview on CNBC that is too incoherent to be summarized.

Mehdi Hasan asks Nancy Mace if she was drunk when she posted an AI image of her and Donald Trump on the same day the president endorsed her opponent.

The polling in Kansa, Iowa, Idaho, Texas and more suggests that even the Republicans in the deep-red states are not going to have an easy election this midterm.

Ben Shapiro is very defensive over the critic's reaction to his new racist ISIS movie.

CNN reports that a military intelligence report derived from false information from ChatGPT almost led to an act of war against a Chinese vessel in the Middle East.

all that and more.

Please consider helping the Aldaghma family, they are the family behind Gaza Bakery, which provides bread and meals to displaced families, and Future Flowers Kindergarten, which gives children a place to learn, play, and experience moments of normalcy whenever conditions allow.
