Happy New Year, Hackeroos! While the guys are taking a well-earned break with family, we're bringing you a great conversation from our friend Kara Swisher's podcast, On with Kara Swisher. Kara is joined by Beth Macy, a veteran newspaper reporter and author who has spent decades covering rural America, and Jacob Silverman, an investigative journalist focused on tech power and corruption.

The year started with America's tech overlords kissing the ring at Trump's inauguration, and it's ending with the public fed up with the ostentatiously rich—and more distrustful of Silicon Valley than ever, particularly on AI. Plus, Kara's key role in the revelations about the relationship between RFK, Jr. and Olivia Nuzzi, Trump is giving away the store to China and setting back university research and innovation by a generation, the AI advances in healthcare are mind-blowing, media companies are going to accelerate their consolidation, much of the tech oligarchy has daddy issues, JD is like a Cybertruck, "Pluribus" is great, and "KPop Demon Hunters" is golden.

Happy Holidays from the On with Kara Swisher team! To celebrate, we're gifting you a recent episode of a new national security podcast from the Vox Media Podcast Network. “The Long Game” is hosted by Jake Sullivan, President Biden's National Security Advisor, and Jon Finer, his Principal Deputy — both senior aides who sat in on the classified Presidential Daily Brief each morning and translated raw intelligence into policy advice. On this episode of The Long Game, Jake and Jon cover: - The fast-escalating U.S. pressure campaign against the Maduro regime in Venezuela — including the growing American military buildup and Trump's post calling Venezuela a “foreign terrorist organization.” - President Trump's decision to allow the sale of Nvidia's advanced H200 AI chips to China — announced on the same day that the DOJ called the chip a cornerstone of “AI superiority.” - A Red Team/Blue Team exercise on the U.S.-backed peace proposal for the Ukraine–Russia war, with Jake and Jon stepping into the roles of advisers to Zelensky and Putin. Follow The Long Game so you never miss an episode. New episodes drop on Fridays. Show notes and a transcript of the episode are available here.Watch the video of this episode on Youtube.

Senator Sanders is proposing an AI data center moratorium, and is critical of the tech billionaires involved.

We're bringing you a special episode of On With Kara Swisher! Kara sits down with Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi to dig into how applied artificial intelligence works at scale. At Uber, AI powers everything from pricing, routing, and customer service to autonomous vehicles and sidewalk robots that deliver food. It has partnered with more than 20 autonomous vehicle manufacturers, and it's moving aggressively into robotaxis. And although it may take many decades, Khosrowshahi believes society may eventually decide humans aren't safe enough to be trusted behind the wheel. Kara and Dara discuss what this all means for jobs, congestion, climate and Uber's business model. This conversation was recorded live at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center as part of its Discovery Series on artificial intelligence. Learn more about your ad choices.

LionTree's James Lindsay visits the massive studio complex of Merwas in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (the world's largest music studio, according to Guinness) to converse with Danny Townsend, CEO of SURJ Sports Investment. Danny, who began his career playing football (a/k/a soccer) for Australia's Sydney United Team, had a 26 year-long career on the business side of sport prior to his 2023 appointment as CEO of SURJ. The pair hone in on Danny's broad remit, underlining the “dual mandate” of successfully deploying Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) in the sports arena, as well as bringing about genuine social change by expanding youth sport participation and maximizing opportunities for female athletes such as Saudi MMA champion, Hattan Alsaif.This podcast is for information purposes only.

Adam and Dr. Drew dive into Adam's latest AI creation — Burt Reynolds as Gavin Newsom in a mash-up of Kara Swisher's “Where the hell are you gonna go?” interview. The guys use the clip to skewer how politicians lecture with total confidence while missing the point entirely. Adam dubs Newsom's view on homelessness “fairytale chick talk,” and the duo zero in on how politicians keep misreading the real problems they claim to solve.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Democrat Party's ridiculous spending demands to end the ongoing government shutdown, including $24.6 million for “climate resilience” in Honduras! What the heck is climate resilience? Turner explains: “America's working families voted to end this reckless spending spree back in November. But now the Dems are holding military members' pay hostage to bankroll their Green New Scam projects all over the world. Shameful.” 6:30pm- According to a news report from ABC7 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles has declared a state of emergency and issued an eviction moratorium in response to the Trump administration's deportations of illegal migrants. 6:40pm- While speaking with New York Times reporter Kara Swisher, Kamala Harris said she was the most qualified presidential candidate in U.S. history. Rich and Matt note that Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Governor of Virginia during the Revolutionary War, U.S. Minister to France, Secretary of State to George Washington, and Vice President to John Adams. So, who do you think had the better resume while a candidate for president?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/15/2025): 3:05pm- Now that Eric Adams has left the race, can Andrew Cuomo defeat Zohran Mamdani and become the next mayor of New York City? It's not likely. According to the latest polls, Cuomo still trails Mamdani by double digits. 3:10pm- Last week, Republican businessman Jack Ciattarelli and Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill went head-to-head in their second and final debate before election day on November 4th. Notably, Sherrill shamelessly—and inaccurately—accused Ciattarelli of killing “tens of thousands of people” for work a marketing firm he once owned did on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. Ciattarelli's campaign has sued her for defamation. 3:20pm- Yesterday, for the eighth time, Senate Democrats voted against moving forward with a House-passed bill to fund the government and end the ongoing shutdown. Only John Fetterman, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Angus King broke from their party. The Senate needs 60 votes to advance the bill. 3:30pm- On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais—a redistricting case focusing on the constitutionality of Louisiana's congressional map. Should states be compelled to consider race when redrawing legislative districts? 3:40pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump—alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi—held a press conference from the Oval Office highlighting the progress the administration has made in eliminating violent crime. 4:00pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump—alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi—held a press conference from the Oval Office highlighting the progress the administration has made in eliminating violent crime. 5:05pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Chief Economist at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show. Is Jerome Powell's Federal Reserve still on track to lower interest rates later this month? Plus, the University of Louisville has introduced a new course using Taylor Swift to teach students economics. 5:30pm- Complete Embarrassment: Far-left Katie Porter—the front runner to become the next Governor of California in 2026—had a complete meltdown after a CBS reporter asked her about her strategy for winning bipartisan support. Porter insisted she didn't need the support of Trump voters and then abruptly ended the interview—explicitly complaining about being asked too many “follow up” questions. Porter, a former congresswoman and accolade of Elizabeth Warren, lost her 2024 race for U.S. Senate. Now a new video has surfaced of her screaming and cursing at a staffer! Now she's back and refusing to say whether more videos of her verbally abusing staff could be made public. PLUS, Matt notes that in divorce proceedings, Katie Porter's ex-husband alleged that during a 2006 argument, Porter “raised a ceramic bowl of steaming hot mashed potatoes and dumped it on my head, burning my scalp.” 5:40pm- Nancy Pelosi snaps and tells a reporter to “SHUT UP!” 6:05pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Democrat Party's ridiculous spending demands to end the ongoing government shutdown, including $24.6 million for “climate resilience” in Honduras!

For Washington media, the decade of Donald Trump has proved to be challenging, unnerving and rewarding. On a special edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg speaks with Kara Swisher, one of the great analysts and interpreters of our communications future, about the Trump era and the future of the media.

Kara Swisher sits down with Emmy-winning comedian Jerrod Carmichael for a raw and revealing conversation about truth, family, faith — and the art of standup. They dig into Carmichael's work, including his deeply personal special “Rothaniel,” his genre-bending documentary “The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show” (which he describes as a sitcom), and his latest special, “Don't Be Gay.” The two of them talk about class in America, the fears that kept him closeted, the role of religion and spirituality in his life, and why standup must evolve or die. Plus, why he's the son his mother deserves, what he's learned from artists like Jay-Z and Spalding Gray, and why he wants to “remove hyphens” from his name and focus on stand-up comedy.
