Thank you Desi for introducing Kara to those of us who didn't know of her. I must now get her book! Looking forward to reading it so much now. What a great start to Friday.
No. Kara is a sellout, she crowed and wrote fawning articles over these same tech leaders and now that she doesn’t have the same access she writes this book.
@@PiObAiReAcHd she is an activist, that was not welcomed in the political news room, so she took the job in the Tech room to be an activist for the democrats there. Very common thing for these Marxist activist to have done in the early 2000s.
Personally, I'd prefer that the American President have advisors who actually understand core topics (like Section 230)... and since she's been covering the information/digital/internet technology beat since AOL days, but still hasn't bothered to really _actually_ understand Section 230, it's clear that she wouldn't be such a great choice. (That said, her take on Tech-Bros, Billionaires and Trillionaires in American politics was dead on). (edit: missing word)
Never heard of Kara Swisher before but after her interview ordered her book immediately. She should be on every talk show and reading list on anyone who using tech.
"Space Karen"" is an apt name for Elon Musk. Thank goodness regular people have at least one person in Kara Swisher on their side as tech titans try to own everything (including you).
I watched the show last night, but came here just to say how much I love Kara Swisher. She is brilliant. If you don't watch her podcasts here on YT, you should. They are excellent.
It may take more than just that. But it would be a start. A Canadian sense of humor may be a hard carry, though. _"Do you have any cash, eh?"_ _"I'm not Canadian, but I suppose my name carries a bit of weight."_ (From "Family Guy". He heard "cachet". I doubt many caught that joke.)
She was on Glennon Doyle’s podcast back in the summer (“How JD Vance Became a Butler for Billionaires”), and things she said keep coming back to me every time I see him. That man is freaky beyond words.
I almost didn't watch this because I still thought Kara was a tech/Elon Musk apologist, but this is pretty brutal. (And honestly, the glow ups matter.) The world is in such disarray! The audience didn't seem ready for this, but folks, this is real.
Every week I listen to Kara Swisher's podcasts, ON and PiVOT. Tonight's "Space Karen" is just one more reason why she makes me laugh, makes me smarter, and makes me more aware of the world around me.
I remember those innocent days in the early Internet days and we all thought the nerds with their "Don't be Evil" mantras were going to be better overlords than the old establishment. How naive we all were.
@@volvosruinedmylife This statement applies to republicans too. The 2010 Supreme Court decision further tilted political influence toward wealthy donors and corporations. Large donations to any party should NOT be outlawed.
Kara's book was superb. I listened on Audible and loved that she narrated it. Her podcast with Scott G. is great, too - Pivot. Really enjoy her and her work.
If that isn't a showcase for why we need more women out front, I don't know what is. Kara's brilliant. If Pivot isn't your favorite podcast yet, go listen to it. And Desi... I underappreciated her for a couple years, but her hosting skills are only topped by her interviewing skills -- not the least of which is her ability to shut up and let the guest talk when they're on a roll. I wish that was a skill more people had. LOVE YOU BOTH. (And where's Scott?! haha)
Wow after this interview i looked into kara swisher...what a brilliant mind. I totally agree with her on everything now. She should be the head of regulating AI
Nobody else in the media has her guests, and she's the best prepared interviewer on TV, too. What a non-commercial media world would look like. So very important, much more than anything else in the news.
If you follow a certain sci-fi franchise, once in Star Trek Discovery, Captain Lorca called Elon Musk "a visionary." If you happen to know who/what Captain Lorca resulted to be, his praise became prescient in unexpected bad ways 😁
@@AnimefortheLazyman Exactly. It's better to be the man/woman behind the throne than to be on the throne. After all, if you are behind the President controlling what he does you won't be held responsible if things go wrong, but you will be able to benefit when things go your way.
Such a clear view…how cheap politicians are compared to their own understanding of their wealth. The bro mange won’t last, but they just move on to another.😂 which is a worry.
i wanto be as cool as Kara when i am older. no reason to become dull and conservative with age. what an outstanding role model. Desi deserves to be Host of the show more each day
@@amberg8496 you'd think it would help but it won't because the people doing the oversight and writing the regulations don't really have a clue with these people are doing. Have to get money out of politics. No political contributions by companies. No pacs. Limit contributions to $25.
4:13 - Great system for the oligarchs! Corporate personhood, attached to free speech, plus dark money pacs for lobbyists. “My $ my rules” as they point and laugh at us in 2+ hour voting lines.

We needed another 20 minutes of that Kara Swisher interview.
Check out her podcast.
There is something magic happening with Desi as a host and interviewer. She’s outstanding!
Kara has her own podcast, and she does the Pivot podcast with Scott Galloway. I highly recommend both of those.
Thanks for letting us know! ❤
@@begonaRR You are welcome 🙂
Her “On” podcast Kara featured Yuval this week, it was mind blowing
I'm addicted to both podcasts. Scott Galloway and she absolutely rock together
What a GREAT CONVERSATION!!!
Exactly what needs to be spoken out loud (and dismantled) right now.
Yeah, yeah. Blablabla.
Kara's quick wit is so much fun to watch and out of all the hosts, only Desi can keep up with her and be so natural ❤ great interview !
You're SO right!
Nice but depends upon whether pre scripted or not
Thank you Desi for introducing Kara to those of us who didn't know of her. I must now get her book! Looking forward to reading it so much now. What a great start to Friday.
Same! Just bought the book!
Thanks for letting me know what day of the week it is.
Seriously, I had no idea. 😅
She seems vicious without a sense of humor
@@josephinethornton3823 I only know because of kiddos & school. This month has been "crazy" for me. I totally get it.
While you're at it, check out Pivot, her podcast with Scott Galloway.
Kara Swisher needs to be an advisor for Kamala to deal with this problem.
No. Kara is a sellout, she crowed and wrote fawning articles over these same tech leaders and now that she doesn’t have the same access she writes this book.
@@doubleecho1980lmao not even close 😂

Couldn't agree more - she is a staple in Silicon Valley and would be a great advisor!
Kara Swisher is simply brilliant. A brainiac with a lightning fast caustic wit.
I hope Harris is considering Karen Swisher for an advisory position.
And way to go, Desi. You are a total pro.
You don't even know her name 😂
@@ChiTownOriginator did her name just swished past you?
@@ChiTownOriginator, could be autocorrect…
@@naylas3908 kara doesn't autocorrect to Karen no matter what you do 🤣
@@naylas3908- ...and not bothering to reread your comment before hitting "send."
Two brilliant minds. Love this interview!
Without women like this, life would not be worth living. What a brilliant, funny conversation!
Never heard of Kara Swisher before but after her interview ordered her book immediately. She should be on every talk show and reading list on anyone who using tech.
Kara Swisher is SO brilliant. Cheers, Desi!
Can't help but like KS, so smart, quick, concise & funny!!

New hashtag on the horizon
@@WSM-w Has literally been a hashtag. Repeatedly
"Space Karen" is the first person to recover a booster rocket for reuse. Not a fan of his cars, but c'mon. That was amazing.
Calling white folks Karen is bigoted. Not that i care if you call smelly names. But I have never seen a black or brown person called a Karen.
@@rebeccarittenhouse2203 Your comment is classic racism. Maybe try to be a better person?
Fantastic! Desi! Kara, you are so smart!
Bro she is blunt just racing through points and presenting them clearly. Never seen this person before. She’s awesome.
I watched the show last night, but came here just to say how much I love Kara Swisher. She is brilliant. If you don't watch her podcasts here on YT, you should. They are excellent.
True joy to watch and listen to. You both are so quick witted you could be Canadian
It may take more than just that. But it would be a start. A Canadian sense of humor may be a hard carry, though.
_"Do you have any cash, eh?"_
_"I'm not Canadian, but I suppose my name carries a bit of weight."_
(From "Family Guy". He heard "cachet". I doubt many caught that joke.)
oh.. yah.. eyy.. those.. ladies.. ... were.. pretty.. funni.. eyy
As an American, I’m… what were we talking about?
...or British.
I aspire to Kara's level of insight and wit, and Desi's quick humor and interpersonal abilities
holy sheet. this was equal parts hilarious and s c a t h i n g. 👏 i want desi to be kara's permanent interview on every network and podcast.
“SPACE KAREN”!!!! Nailed it! Kara is my role model
One of their best interviews.
Huge fan of Kara Swisher❤.. hoping to see her and Scott Galloway on the daily show one day together...
What a pleasure to see Kara! Follow her!
She was on Glennon Doyle’s podcast back in the summer (“How JD Vance Became a Butler for Billionaires”), and things she said keep coming back to me every time I see him. That man is freaky beyond words.
I had a great conversation with Kara Swisher in May 2012 when I spent months in Palo Alto, CA. She is a fantastic human being!!
Never happened
What a way to start the day - super interview!
Oh I love this duo! Please a weekly show with these two!!!
I've never heard of this lady but I LOVE HER!
Kara Swisher is my absolute FAVORITE Podcast host, along with Scott Galloway - "Were way past Cookes" !!!! Hahahahaha
I have Kara's book on my nightstand right now
It sounds fantastic but I'm not sure it would make for the most _relaxing_ bedtime read!
I almost didn't watch this because I still thought Kara was a tech/Elon Musk apologist, but this is pretty brutal. (And honestly, the glow ups matter.) The world is in such disarray! The audience didn't seem ready for this, but folks, this is real.
shes been criticising Elon for several years now on Pivot.
Kara Swisher is terrific.
Every week I listen to Kara Swisher's podcasts, ON and PiVOT. Tonight's "Space Karen" is just one more reason why she makes me laugh, makes me smarter, and makes me more aware of the world around me.
Two of my favourite media personalities. Make this a regular thing on the show please!
I remember those innocent days in the early Internet days and we all thought the nerds with their "Don't be Evil" mantras were going to be better overlords than the old establishment. How naive we all were.
Kara Swisher is a living legend.
Kara is awesome 🙌
Great interview! Can’t wait for the extended version!
I wish this conversation lasted 2 more hours!
LOVE Kara, always so interesting, and Desi's cookie question was just groundbreaking journalism 🤣🤣🤣
More Kara! She knows first hand what we all suspect...
I must read that book. Enjoyed this show immensely. Thank you TDS, keeping it real, but with humor.
Billionaires are the enemy, no matter what industry or who. More regulations!
No one should have that much power over anyone else.
Guess how many billionaires have contributed to the democratic ticket?
There are only 800 or so billionaires in the us... those 800 have more power then the other 350 million of is and that isn't right
@@volvosruinedmylife
This statement applies to republicans too.
The 2010 Supreme Court decision further tilted political influence toward wealthy donors and corporations.
Large donations to any party should NOT be outlawed.
Billionaires are sad, angry and confused with dangerous toys. They're like a small child in a barn with a torch.
Kara is one SMART cookie!
Thank you for asking the cookie question, Desi!
Love Kara! Superbrilliant and super down to earth! Loved the book!
WOW. That is one brilliant person. We need to pay attention to what she says. Like right now.
Give her podcast On with Kara Swisher a listen.
I want more of this, Bring Kara back soon!
More of this, please! Great educated inside viewpoint. I could listen to them for a full hour
❤The last question was the best....
Kara's book was superb. I listened on Audible and loved that she narrated it. Her podcast with Scott G. is great, too - Pivot. Really enjoy her and her work.
Kara is a legend for calling out Silicon Valley hypocrisy.
These two women are my personal heroes! 💪💙
So much truth here!
That interview could have gone on for an hour. Swisher is a great guest, and awesome job Desi! Great interview. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If that isn't a showcase for why we need more women out front, I don't know what is.
Kara's brilliant. If Pivot isn't your favorite podcast yet, go listen to it.
And Desi... I underappreciated her for a couple years, but her hosting skills are only topped by her interviewing skills -- not the least of which is her ability to shut up and let the guest talk when they're on a roll. I wish that was a skill more people had.
LOVE YOU BOTH. (And where's Scott?! haha)
Finally someone else realizes our politicians sell out for too cheap.
... sell our what? for too cheap.
I think plenty of people have realized that for a long time lol
Great interview and guest
Great guest
More talks like this, quality.
Wow after this interview i looked into kara swisher...what a brilliant mind. I totally agree with her on everything now. She should be the head of regulating AI
First time I've listened to Swisher in ~12 years. Feels the same.
Nobody else in the media has her guests, and she's the best prepared interviewer on TV, too. What a non-commercial media world would look like. So very important, much more than anything else in the news.
Kara is awesome. I’ve listened to her podcasts for years.
Kara Swisher is the beast!
Ahhh.. she nailed it.
5:39 the pin-drop silence at that! Phew!
She got Section 230 so wrong. It is surprising and disappointing. I left a long comment about it that is apparently still held up in moderation.
Leon lost all standing in the public eye when he decided supporting a SaFelonFraudTraitorRacist was worth flapping his belly out for👌

Kara Swisher is a national treasure...
Kara’s wit is fantastic! I’m in love with
'Oh we'll get to him' was delightful
Kara Swisher is fantastic
I love Kara. She’s who I want to be when I grow up
This interview is everything
Please give these to a podcast they're awesome
Kara Swisher is a BEAST!
She and Scott Galloway are like Fire and Ice, like Snoopy and Woodstock, like Wallace and Gromit!
Like Lilo and Stitch!
I love her. I heard her on NPR
Kara’s book is fantastic!
Freedom, harris!!!*
Wow thanks to Kara Swisher. Can she be VP? Thanks Desi, you’re the real deal.
So glad that Kara Swisher is there pulling back the curtain on these guys. They are far too powerful to remain an enigma.
What she's describing is what I call neo-feudalism.
Fortunately, Musk cannot run for president!
Why would he when Kara clearly explained its easier to buy one?
Exactly, Musk would never have the patience to deal with democratic process when he can just buy flunky politicians to do his bidding
@@AnimefortheLazyman Exactly. It's better to be the man/woman behind the throne than to be on the throne. After all, if you are behind the President controlling what he does you won't be held responsible if things go wrong, but you will be able to benefit when things go your way.
With the Republicans on the Supreme Court, I wouldn't be so sure.
Such a clear view…how cheap politicians are compared to their own understanding of their wealth. The bro mange won’t last, but they just move on to another.😂 which is a worry.
Buy the book!
Ah, my favorite topic--the Bronuts! Wonderful interview!
I could watch another hour of these two. And then another hour after that.
We want a regular Kara segment on tech
Desi nights are my fave!!!
i wanto be as cool as Kara when i am older. no reason to become dull and conservative with age. what an outstanding role model. Desi deserves to be Host of the show more each day
They need oversight and regulations!
