  • Max Meyer joins Bridget to talk about the new tech magazine he just launched Arena. They discuss Arena's mission to be on the side of the future and the people building it, his desire to offer a tech magazine that's an alternative to the other big name tech magazines out there that seem focused on demoralizing people about the future and making them fear things, instead offering a pro-American, pro-technology perspective while acknowledging valid concerns about technology and its risks. They cover automation's future impact and why Max believes it transforms rather than eliminates jobs, comparing phones to weapons, using AI tools, the focus of education in India and China vs the US, the success of the American spirit, Trump's connection with working-class voters, Biden administration policies that have crushed entrepreneurship, why driving round America is an important thing to do, his advice for people who've experienced profound loss, and how finding strength teaches you how to do it again.

  • Mary Katharine Ham, a Fox News contributor and former CNN commentator, sits down with Bridget for a frank yet fun conversation about whether or not either one of them will vote for Trump. The decision rests not on a choice between Trump and Kamala, but a choice about whether or not they can bring themselves to vote for Trump, even though they low key want him to win because the policies and principles of the Harris/Walz campaign are so distasteful to them. They cover the realignment of the political parties, whether January 6th plays a role in people’s decision making, how the erosion of public trust will affect confidence in the results of the election, and why the number of women in their demographic who are considering voting for Trump is actually larger than you might think. They also discuss Mary Katharine’s experiences with loss, faith, motherhood, resilience and navigating the constant news cycle.
