Summary

James and Al celebrate the generational win in the Miami mayoral race, explain Trump’s rapid decline in popularity, and sound the alarm over corporate and foreign influence in entertainment and the broader economy.  Then they welcome polling legend John Della Volpe to discuss his findings from the Harvard Youth Poll, which shows that young people are increasingly disillusioned with politics, losing faith in capitalism, and fear for their futures in the age of AI.  Critically, they emphasize the need to re-engage these voters, give them hope, and get them to the polls.
