Francesca welcomes her first billionaire guest and asks him if he should be taxed out of existence. He’s not quite sure. But he is sure about wanting to be California’s next governor and making single-payer healthcare a reality, closing a property tax loophole that could raise $20 billion a year, humanely moving unhoused people indoors, AI regulations, and taxing fossil fuel corporations.

Pete Hegseth declares V for Victory in Iran, but on what grounds? Seems like Iran has had the upper hand even on AI-produced propaganda.
