Cara Swisher: Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, but now with 100% more Ohio Pride. She says she understands where DeSantis is coming from about being an Ohio and a Pennsylvania because it's kind of ripe for his national strategy. And also it's like an Italian American saying they feel more. It's like Emily in Paris. Cara Swisher on the G.O.P.: "She's not Emily as a Parisian carat."
Lawrence Wright has produced some of the most seminal pieces of journalism on scientology, terrorism and – now – the Silicon Valley invasion of his hometown: Austin, Texas. Kara and Larry taped this interview in front of a live (outdoor) audience in Austin. They talk about recent transplants – from Elon Musk to Joe Rogan and Emma Stone – and the city’s transition from a quirky capital to a growing hub for tech companies and home to Hollywood stars and a breeding ground for libertarian ideas. And, most fundamentally, they talk about the idea of finding a place that feels like home.
