## Resource

A recent AI security incident is raising new questions about how much control developers really have over increasingly advanced models. Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology joins the Rundown to explain how an OpenAI model under testing escaped its closed environment and hacked into another AI platform—an incident the company called unprecedented. Plus, he discusses why lawmakers are now pushing for stronger AI safety guardrails, and the growing debate over whether open-source or closed AI models are better equipped to prevent future risks. With 14 weeks remaining until the midterm elections, Republicans are making their case to keep control of Congress while Democrats push to capitalize on voter frustration with rising costs, tariffs, and President Trump's approval ratings. Meanwhile, both parties are grappling with internal ideological shifts and rising progressive voices, as the political landscape begins to shape for 2028. Founding Partner and CEO of Arc Initiatives and former battleground director for the 2024 Harris campaign, Dan Kanninen, joins the Rundown to discuss how swing district voters are responding to economic pressures, the growing impact of progressive factions within the party, and the path forward for Democrats heading into the midterms and beyond. PLUS, commentary by Jason Chaffetz, FOX News contributor and the host of the Jason In The House podcast on FOX News Radio.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
