Bradley gets a Windy City on-the-ground report from friend&nbsp;and colleague Bob Greenlee, which leads to a bleak read on national politics: even if Democrats gain in 2026, the realities of&nbsp;executive power and a thin bench mean that little changes. Bradley then unveils a major <a href="https://bit.ly/MobileVotingRDE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">milestone</a> for mobile voting—Free & Fair’s open-source, rigorously engineered cryptographic protocol, arguing that transparency invites tougher verification and faster improvement. They then pivot to city governance trade-offs in New York and Chicago (flight of the affluent, public safety, unions, deficits), stressing that execution and pragmatism — not ideology — will make or break new mayors. Finally, they debate leveraging Trump’s Israel deal and his Nobel ambitions toward Ukraine, then land on Bradley’s “grand synthesis”: amid real doomsday risks, personal happiness is still within reach...if we build our lives around love and purpose.Discussed on today's episode:<a href="https://bit.ly/MobileVotingRDE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rigorous Digital Engineering: The Bedrock For Secure Mobile Voting</a> by Bradley Tusk (10/09/25)This episode was taped at <a href="https://www.ptknitwear.com/podcasts/about-the-podcast-studio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">P&T Knitwear</a> at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today’s episode: <a href="http://info@firewall.media" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@firewall.media</a>.Be sure to watch Bradley’s new TED Talk on Mobile Voting at <a href="https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk</a>.
