Welcome to Pod Save America. I'm Jon Favreau. I'm Dan Pfeiffer. Dan, what do you think of our new studio?
I can only see you and four feet to your right and left. Oh, there we go.
There's an eagle in there. You didn't watch all of Tuesday's pod on YouTube?
No, I listen to it like the Gen Xer I am.
What's to your left? Is that a Statue of Liberty? Yeah, there's a Statue of Liberty over here. To your right, I guess. And then there's an eagle over there because we are taking patriotism back. We're liberals who love America. One yellow mural at a time. That's right. Well, anyway, you got to get down here so you can test out the new studio yourself. You and I have a bunch of news to talk about today. Donald Trump's approval ratings are at record lows and he is losing his grip on the economy, the war. just about everything else Americans care about. And yet here we are still. Democrats get more good news in the key Senate races in North Carolina and Georgia, and maybe even some deep red states where independent candidates are carrying the anti-MAGA banner.
We're also in the homestretch of the heated primaries in Michigan and Wisconsin. We're going to talk all about that. That's fun. We're also going to talk about the latest with artificial intelligence. As Sam Altman tells us that we are, in fact, in the singularity. Elon Musk is saying that we're all going to die anyway. And nobody on Capitol Hill seems to know what to do about it. So that's cool. But first, a reminder, if we do make it to November... And we do make it to these midterm elections. And AI hasn't killed us all yet. We have CrookedCon November 5th through the 7th in Washington, D.C. And tickets are going pretty fast. Pretty fast.

With 95 days until the final midterm elections of the Trump era, the president has made himself historically unpopular and is dragging his party down with him. He has lost control of the Iran war, which is now in its fifth month with no end in sight.
He has lost control of the economy. which is now suffering from sluggish growth and high inflation because of Trump's war and Trump's tariffs. He has lost control of his own party in Congress, where two Republican senators whose careers he ended are still refusing to confirm his acting attorney general, Todd Blanch, whose nomination Trump says he may temporarily withdraw. The president has also lost the American people, his approval rating in three high-quality polls that came out this week. 32%, 33%, and 34%, near record lows for Trump in either term, which I can't really understand because the guy has really been on top of his game lately. Here he is on Wednesday.
Whether you're a Republican or Democrat, you don't want to go and be subjected to this airport. Between the trams and the Star War thing that they call it, the Star Wars, and elevated buses, and nobody knows what's going on.
