In this July 14th edition of The Refresh, host Kait recaps a whirlwind week in advertising marked by major leadership changes, surprising earnings news, and critical shifts in the social media and AI sectors. From Linda Yaccarino's headline-making exit at X to the rise of Threads and AI-powered browsers challenging Google, this episode covers the most important updates marketers need to know. With WPP's new CEO pick and YouTube's monetization policy pivot, it's clear the industry is evolving rapidly, both in people and platforms. Linda Yaccarino Exits X (0:38): After a tumultuous tenure trying to stabilize X's advertiser relations post-Elon Musk acquisition, Yaccarino stepped down, raising fresh concerns over the platform's future ad revenue and signaling a deeper pivot toward AI integration via XAI. WPP Names Cindy Rose as Next CEO (2:11): With a background at Microsoft, Virgin Media, and Disney, Rose's appointment signals WPP's strategic shift toward becoming a more AI- and tech-centric organization amid falling revenue forecasts and mounting competitive pressure. WPP Cuts 2025 Revenue Guidance (3:15): In an unscheduled earnings update, WPP downgraded its 2025 outlook to a 3–5% decline, citing macroeconomic headwinds and major client losses including Coca-Cola and Paramount. Threads Closes in on X (4:06): Threads hit 115 million daily mobile users in June, up 128% year-over-year, while X saw a 15% drop. The user shift, particularly in the U.S., signals growing momentum for Meta's Twitter alternative. AI-Powered Browsers Challenge Google (6:13): Perplexity released its new Comet browser and OpenAI's rumored offering aims to make browsing fully conversational. Both aim to reshape search and ads with real-time, assistant-driven experiences that could threaten Google's dominance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Those include readily available clean water and ice, as well as access to “cool zones” and the right to take and extend breaks when they feel overheated. The contract further mandated UPS to install fans in the largely non-air-conditioned warehouses where packages are sorted and loaded, and in the front of vehicles. Delivery trucks have also been outfitted with heat exhaust shields and vents. UPS Teamsters, though, are still waiting on some of these historic protections. UPS is required to equip its fleet with at least 28,000 new air-conditioned delivery trucks by the time the current contract expires in 2028; toward that end, all new vans UPS purchases after January 1, 2024, are supposed to have air conditioning. As of last summer, CNN reported, it hadn't bought any. UPS Brand Management Representative Becca Hunnicut did not directly answer my questions about whether UPS has purchased any new delivery vehicles equipped with air conditioning since the beginning of 2024 and if any of its delivery trucks currently have air conditioning. She wrote over email that the company is “installing air conditioning in all new delivery vehicles we buy and adding them as quickly as possible,” adding that UPS does not “publicly share the number of vehicles we purchase” and that it is “prioritizing deployment in the hottest regions.”Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: ‘Prevention is better than remedy': majority of investors say governance gaps attract activists, research shows MM DR84 percent of investors polled, who hail from North America, Europe (including the UK) and Asia, said that poor governance was the main driver of activist investor attention.Investors also largely (71 percent) favor activism targeting the board on governance and management change versus operational (10 percent), balance sheet (3 percent) or M&A activism (3 percent)MM: Tesla announces Nov. annual meeting under pressure from shareholders, but may still be skirting lawAssholiest of the Week (MM):Democracy73% of votes cast in alternative democracy were for directors in the US0.01% of directors up for a vote were voted out - incumbency rulesWe know governance in corporations isn't working, and it's the primary driver of activism: ‘Prevention is better than remedy': majority of investors say governance gaps attract activists, research showsGovernance proponents were the only winners in the shareholder proposal space with an 18% win rateWe know money doesn't care nearly as much about performance as it cares about power status quo:Vote Gap - directors batting .333 or lower on TSR vs. average vote at the companyAverage vote gap was actually +1.3% - bottom directors outperformed average vote at the companiesWe know that only 22% of US directors have “merit”, but we know that more than 1 in 4 directors are connected to each other through other boards and non profits - including the CEOSo we should all fucking lose our minds when…New York's Financial Crowd Rushes to Build Anti-Mamdani War Chest - no more buying electionsJamie Dimon criticizes Zohran Mamdani as 'Marxist,' blasts Democrats' DEI push: 'Big hearts and little brain' - shut your fat mouthAdvertisersYour ads are now next to AI for middle school boysGrok praises Hitler, gives credit to Musk for removing “woke filters”Grok's harmful outputs come at a time when advertisers have just begun returning to X, after X first sued advocacy groups publishing reports of hate speech on the platform, then sued advertiser groups who boycotted the platform allegedly partly due to those reports.

Time now for our daily Tech and Business Report. KCBS Radio news anchor Holly Quan spoke with Bloomberg's Kurt Wagner. "X" CEO Linda Yaccarino is stepping down. Yaccarino took over two years ago after Musk had bought the company formerly known as Twitter. By that point the company had already lost three-quarters of its workforce.

Linda Yaccarino, die sinds 2023 aangesteld was als CEO van het platform X, heeft in een bericht op het platform laten weten te vertrekken bij het bedrijf. Dat vertrek komt op een opvallend moment, nadat AI-chatbot Grok antisemitische leuzen verspreidde op het platform. Polen en Turkije reageerden woest op de berichten die Grok plaatste, waarin hij onder andere de regeringsleiders beledigde. Het platform koos ervoor om de AI-chatbot uit de lucht te halen nadat bleek dat de uitingen te ver gingen. In eerste instantie wilde Elon Musk, eigenaar van X, dat Grok minder politiek correcte antwoorden zou geven. De Poolse minsiter van digitalisering eist van de Europese Commissie een onderzoek naar de AI-chatbot Grok, nadat premier Donald Tusk werd beledigd voor 'verrader' en 'hoer'. In Turkije is een deel van Grok geblokkeerd. Of de ongeregeldheden rond de AI-chatbot te maken hebben met het vertrek van de CEO is niet bekend, maar Yaccarino geeft geen uitleg voor haar vertrek. Ze is enkel positief over de afgelopen twee jaar en bedankt Elon Musk die haar aanstelde nadat hij het platform had gekocht.

“If the public can predict you, it starts to like you. But the Marchesa didn't want to be liked.” For the first three decades of the twentieth century, the Marchesa Luisa Casati astounded Europe. Artists such as Man Ray painted, sculpted, and photographed her; writers such as Ezra Pound and Jack Kerouac praised her strange beauty. An Italian woman of means who questioned the traditional gender codes of her time, she dismissed fixed identities as mere constructions.

When Linda Yaccarino became CEO of X, the social media company's owner Elon Musk said the pair would divide responsibilities. But about a year into her tenure at the company she's learning the pitfalls of sharing power with the billionaire. WSJ reporter Alexa Corse joins host Zoe Thomas to discuss.

Why is Elon Musk so obsessed with birth rates? And what is he doing about it? Those questions are at the heart of today's episode, as well as the Bloomberg Businessweek feature by Sophie Alexander and Dana Hull. They join David Papadopoulos to talk about their reporting (and their scoop on Musk's twelfth known child). Plus, what's happening at X?

2024 PREDICTION SHOW: AI Insurance, FedEx board turnover, Musk FIRES Linda Yaccarino, volcanic rock dust, unions, and Disney succession

In the spotlight today is Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X. She's facing a storm of controversy and a chorus of voices calling for her resignation. These calls come from a group of influential advertising executives, alarmed by the recent actions and statements of X's owner, Elon Musk. Yaccarino, with her roots in NBCUniversal, stepped into X with the ambitious task of rejuvenating its ad business. But Musk's takeover and his unique approach to running the platform have led to a significant advertiser pullback. Why? Concerns over content moderation and the platform's future direction are at the heart of it.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 77: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-BLOCK (1:44) BULLETIN: White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates issues searing condemnation of the antisemitism rampant on Twitter-X and specifically calls out Elon Musk's repetition of the antisemitic madness behind the 2018 "Tree Of Life" synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh. It is a dramatic and unyielding statement with language so strong it must have been approved by President Biden himself and signals his willingness to confront the antisemitism, and all religious and anti-minority hate, and Musk himself. It is a startling development. The remainder of this podcast is a repeat of Friday's regular 76th episode and if you've heard it you may skip it with my full blessing. But it does emphasize how a threat to ban Twitter-X and end all government contracts with him, could rescue it from Musk's prejudice and bullying (6:56) It is time for the government of the United States to ban “X” – the social media site still primarily known as Twitter - and to terminate all government contracts with its owner. Under Trump the government moved to ban TikTok as a security risk to the United States, so there is precedent for at least the attempt, because a process that has been accelerating for more than a year reached a climax Wednesday when owner Elon Musk answered a blatantly antisemitic tweet with the reply quote “you have said the actual truth.” Combined with surging anti-semitism throughout the website, and the use of Nazi hate speech and paraphrases of infamous Hitler quotes by the likely Republican candidate for president, the tinderbox of antisemitism has never been fuller or drier and Trump and Musk seem determined to light it ablaze – and with it, light ablaze the peace and security of this nation. Musk's bizarre running of the Twitter-X platform had already destroyed more than half its value and even more of its advertising. Yesterday afternoon, IBM announced it was pulling its already-scheduled ads for the next three months – the New York Times says that was a million dollars' worth. Rather remarkably, as of the close of business yesterday The New York Times had not yet cancelled Musk's scheduled appearance twelve days from now at a Times event it calls its “DealBook Summit” which it describes as the gathering of quote “the most consequential leaders in business, politics, and culture,” unquote… and, I guess, the most consequential leaders in antisemitism. As the snowball rolling down the hill toward her reached speeds of about a thousand miles an hour, Musk's hand-picked CEO Linda Yaccarino posted a comment at 3:45 PM Eastern that seemed crafted by the nation's finest satirical comedians, or maybe Tim Robinson in the hot dog suit and the “We're All Trying To Find The Guy Who Did This” meme. Quote: “X's point of view has always been very clear that discrimination by everyone should STOP across the boad – I think that's something we can and should all agree on. When it comes to this platform, X has also been extremely clear about our efforts to combat antisemitism and discrimination. There's no place for it anywhere in the world – it's ugly and wrong. Full stop.” If taken sincerely and literally, Yaccarino's only possible next action would be… to suspend Elon Musk's account. Musk has gone down a path from which he cannot backtrack. Twitter-X – at least HIS version of it – must be banned, and government contracts and other agreements – local, state, national - with his other firms: Space-X, Tesla, The Boring Company, Neuralink, and xAI must be terminated.

Today, we have a special episode for you. The Code Conference wrapped up this week, and the finale included a rare interview from my Code co-host and CNBC correspondent Julia Boorstin with X CEO Linda Yaccarino. To say the sit-down with Elon Musk's No. 2 was confrontational would be an understatement.  Yaccarino appeared both unprepared to answer tough questions and very combative, especially when asked about comments from former trust and safety head Yoel Roth, who's become an outspoken critic of the direction of the company since Elon took over. Roth spoke onstage at Code with Kara Swisher just an hour before, where he warned Yaccarino of the risks of the job and spoke about the extreme harassment he's faced since leaving the company.  Yaccarino also gave us some updated stats on X user metrics and claimed the company would turn a profit in 2024. And of course, there were some very terse exchanges concerning whether Elon really plans to start charging a subscription fee to use the platform, if he seriously plans to sue the Anti-Defamation League, and the company's recent cuts to its election integrity team. It's a jaw-dropping interview, and you really have to listen to the whole thing. Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.

On Wednesday, two Twitter-related interviews rocked the stage at the 2023 Code Conference. Kara interviewed the former head of trust and safety at Twitter/X, Yoel Roth, and Julia Boorstin, CNBC's Senior Media & Tech Correspondent, interviewed X's CEO, Linda Yaccarino.  The late booking of Roth rattled Yaccarino, and her interview led to a media storm. Today, we bring you both interviews. We start off with Kara and Nayeema, as they set the stage early on Wednesday morning, play the interviews in chronological order and then rejoin Kara and Nayeema for a debrief to address accusations that the schedule change amounted to “sandbagging” Yaccarino.

Elon Musk recently announced Linda Yaccarino – an executive at NBCUniversal – as the new CEO of Twitter. But many users are concerned with Yaccarino's past statements that appear to signal allegiance to the World Economic Forum and Blackrock agenda of a future where you “own nothing, and are happy.” Did Elon make the right choice? Behind-the-scenes, could Yaccarino be a freedom fighter in secret? Jordan Schachtel discusses Twitter 2.0, and if Twitter is at risk of returning to its past censorship policies after it complied with an order from the Turkish government to take down posts during its election. “With the hiring of Twitter's new CEO, and the accommodating of government censorship requests, Twitter's embrace of pragmatism over principle may lead it down the path into the welcoming arms of the BlackRock/WEF agenda,” warns Jordan Schachtel.

If you post the truth about the Border by posting a video of the Border, Facebook may call it hate and take it down. So, Mark “Election RIgger” Zuckerburg, which part is “hate?” A). People illegally crossing the Border B). People showing videos of people doing what they are choosing to do? C). The Part where Americans get to make up their own minds about something as important as mass, illegal immigration being rewarded? If you are Donald Trump and you tell the CNN audience what you really think and you devastate their lies about your January 6th statements, CNN will not only end the broadcast early, their anchors will either explain it was like Pearl Harbor all over again or they will tell viewers to never watch CNN again. By the way: wasn't it a fiery, but mostly peaceful town hall? Nina Jankowitz--remember her, the Marry Poppins signing young lade who pretends to be an expert in what's true?--is suing FOX News, who will Rupert fire to appease her? The World Economic Forum raised-up the next CEO of Twitter; she's pro-mask, pro-mRNA, all about pretend equity and false inclusion. How long will she let Tucker speak the truth on what Elon still thinks is a free-speech platform? What does God's Word say? Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,Psalm 39:12 “Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears! For I am a sojourner with you, a guest, like all my fathers.Exodus 23:9 “You shall not oppress a sojourner. You know the heart of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.Exodus 22:21 “You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.Romans 13:1-5 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.Episode 827 Links: Florida federal judge temporarily blocks Biden's migrant parole policy; The ruling comes as the pandemic-era Title 42 public health restriction expires.EL PASO- Border Patrol agents try to block the press from filming the first bus being loaded with illegal immigrants being brought into the US from Juarez.
