Sherwin Hughes kicks off the show with a big tease—there’s another Democratic candidate entering the race, and he’ll reveal who later. He stresses that voters have plenty of time to choose a candidate who can win—and that candidate is not Mandela Barnes. At 9:22, Sherwin dives into AI, asking the YouTube chat for their thoughts before taking a caller. By 9:36, the conversation shifts to the Democratic Party’s focus on identity politics and why catering to the smallest coalition won’t beat Republicans. At 9:50, another caller joins to discuss AI, as Sherwin argues most people aren’t using it to its full potential. He closes the hour circling back to Mandela Barnes.
