This chapter explores the influence of celebrities, such as Taylor Swift, endorsing political candidates like Kamala Harris, and the potential impact on voters. The discussion also highlights the importance of certain issues like abortion and the role celebrities play in shaping public opinion, before transitioning to the disappointing earnings of companies like Alphabet and Tesla, and teasing a forthcoming conversation with guest Dr. Fauci.
Kara and Scott discuss Kamala Harris's poll numbers in the face of GOP attacks, Biden's farewell speech, and what Taylor Swift will do about it all. Then, tech stocks tumble after underwhelming earnings reports from Tesla and Alphabet. Then we’re joined by our Friend of Pivot, Dr. Anthony Fauci, to talk about his new memoir, “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.”
