Billionaire Campaign Spending, Apple's Budget Gamble, and Hegseth vs. CNN
About this episode
Kara and Scott are live at SXSW! They discuss billionaires' unprecedented influence in recent elections, and the reality of wealth taxes. Then, Apple introduces a budget MacBook — smart market expansion or a risky move for a luxury brand? Plus, Pete Hegseth calls CNN "fake news" and cheers on the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal, and Polymarket's AI deal.
