Carolyn Ryan explaining how The New York Times is using large-scale data, polling, and on-the-ground reporting to model results, track early voting, and contextualize polls and money across competitive states like Alaska, Kansas, Florida, and Texas, while emphasizing independent journalism and civic literacy. The discussion then turns to Republican candidate quality, Trump’s influence, accusations and scandals involving candidates and officials, concerns about democracy, corruption, and authoritarianism, and a long segment on Ukraine, Russia, drones, and the failures of current U.S. defense thinking, before closing with criticism of Ken Paxton’s taxpayer-funded travel.

George Conway argues that Donald Trump has done to the federal deficit what he did to the Trump Organization, comparing it to bankruptcy and saying the country’s debt has reached record levels under Trump. He discusses reports about Kimberly Guilfoyle and other Trump-aligned figures as examples of a broader culture of sleaze, corruption, and money sloshing around through lobbying, donations, and foreign interests, while noting he cannot say for sure that Guilfoyle broke the law. Conway says these situations may lead to investigations when someone feels cheated, and he stresses that without a real Justice Department, accountability is unlikely for now. He also points to the importance of Democrats winning Congress, turning over rocks, and supporting candidates focused on practical solutions, especially in races like Michigan, Kansas, Georgia, and South Carolina.
