This chapter explores a successful fundraising event that raised $4.5 million, featuring notable actors who humorously engaged in identity politics. The discussion transitions to political topics, including recent prisoner swaps and controversial comments from public figures, while also analyzing the political inclinations of Silicon Valley elites. Additionally, the speakers critique the earnings reports of major tech companies like Meta and Microsoft, examining their market performance and future potential.
Kara and Scott discuss Donald Trump's disastrous interview at the National Association of Black Journalists’ conference, the hundreds of VCs pledging their support to Kamala Harris, and the narrowing VP race. Plus, the latest earnings from Meta and Microsoft, and the Senate finally takes action with online regulation for kids. Then we’re joined by Friend of Pivot, Democratic Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis.
