So this morning JD security is holding everyone up. You mean the Secret Service? Yeah. [Music] Yeah. He and I both started in the same place. Why don't you just talk about it, which is we were sort of like almost basically never Trumpers. If you started with that, that would be amazing. Let me start with that. Yeah, that's good.

Who side are you guys up [Music] lead us? Lead us in prayer. Sax, come on
in. Sweet Jesus, baby Jesus with your swimmer's body and your very tight loin cloth. We appreciate you and uh although we all uh believe that we are the most important part of this forsome, we all know that I as the lead singer really do need to bring it today. So we pray to you Jesus to inspire me to say something funny for each panel and for Saxs to be interested in something other than politics and for Friedberg to not have a panic attack. Chumaf we pray that our flows drape us properly today. In the name of Montlair, Laura Piana and the Lord our savior Tom Ford we pray. Amen. [Music] [Music] Heat up [Music] [Music] [Music] Alisa is someone from Walter's team. Can

Let's go. All right. Wow. We are here. Year three. Band still together. Can you believe it? Can't believe it. little one of the odds and I think is our is our first speaker here. This speaker is not on the program. Not on the program. But I did notice there was a little bit of security here today. Little extra security. Above and beyond security pain in the ass security. Uh please welcome me in joining vice presidential candidate Jamie Vance. Welcome to the Lion's Den. Been a big fan of the pod for a while. I think my first appearance. So it's good to be with you. If you look at the real innovation of the American economy, it's been in the world of software. If you
look at where the economy has been most stagnant, it's been in basically the heavily regulated parts of the economy. When I think about tech, one of the things I'd like us to do is broaden the aperture a little bit. Ladies and gentlemen, Katie V. The idea that I'm going to change my vote because someone else wants me to is never going to happen. If you find someone with whom you agree with 100% of the time, either they're lying to you or you're not thinking for yourself. Give up the heroin needle of prestige. The way to change those institutions is not to give money to those places or join the board of them or delude yourself with the idea that you can transform
them from within. It's to build new things. And in building new things and creating competition, it forces the other people to change. Welcome to your new boss. Like, what do you mean? I said, that's the guy you're going to work for. like we just bought his company. I said, "Yeah, he kicked your ass with little resources out there in the market. You're going to learn something from it." Yeah. Welcome to New York Boss. They wondered if there was a better way to find information on the web. On September 15th, 1997, they registered Google as a website. one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our times. Someone who
really wanted to think outside the box. If that sounds like it's impossible, let's try it. No introduction needed. I just agreed to this last minute, you know. I don't know where you pulled up that clip so fast. You guys are team is amazing. Kind of amazing. This is kind of amazing. I didn't actually understand to be perfectly honest. I thought you guys just kind of had a podcast and like a little get together or something, but this was kind of mind-blowing. Sergey, thank you so much for joining us. Please join me in thanking Sergey. Thank you, Freeberg. You don't have to kill him in the first 3 hours, man. My lord, we started with the red meat cuz we wanted
to make sure saxs showed up. So, well played. Um, everything is proceeding as I foresee. My one contrarian view on the election is that it's not going to be close. You know, most presidential elections aren't. I think, you know, one side is is simply going to collapse. Just give us a state of politicians post this current batch. My experience in the news business dealing with politicians leads me to believe that the people in this room and on this stage over your two-day conference are the people we need to be looking to for our future leaders. Well said, ladies and gentlemen. Megan Kelly. I think it's crazy. They really built up
the suspense by keeping everything so top secret. They set the bar really high. Crazy lineup. Doesn't get any better. He's a big man. Elon Musk himself, you know, it's it's amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, our bestie and the greatest entrepreneur of this generation, Elon Musk. The price of freedom of speech is not cheap, is it? I think it's like 44 billion, something like that. Just give her give or take a billion. The rate of improvement of AI is faster than any technology I've ever seen by far. I think the actual issue is like, well, how do we find meaning in a world where AI can do everything we can do a bit
better? Once you have general purpose humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, you can build anything. There's no actual limit to the size of the economy. Hi, ladies and gentlemen, our bestie Elon Musk. All right, guys. Thank you for an amazing day. We're going to start the Top Gun party at the Santa Monica Pier at 7:00 p.m. See you all tomorrow. Thank you. [Music] It was fantastic just to stay consistent and just blew our minds. JD Vamps was a surprise. We're very happy to see that. It is everything I could have hoped for. And I'm next to my favorite bestie here. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Sax is skipping science corner this
morning and he'll show up for a panel with John Mirchimer and Jeffrey Sachs. We'll miss him, but I'm not sure he would have said a word during Science Corner. We've got a conversation with an astronaut, a panel on Eevee Talls. Oh, then we've got the Gecko robotics demo. Where is Sachs? There's like a 15% chance that Sachs thought it was a one day event. I've practiced the prepared part of my my presentation a few times. I have not practiced this demo. Oh yeah, it is going to be chaos. There's going to be a Uranus joke. [Music] Do you know where Sax is at the moment? He's probably somewhere between the
bedroom, the front door, and the car. We don't know exactly, but It always works out. First up, we are excited to welcome to the stage astronaut. What do you hope? It's a convenient quirk of the scale of the objects in our solar system that if you make the Earth a basketball, this is the Earth, then the Moon is a tennis ball. So in this scale, it's 24 ft. You can do the math. If you could imagine 3/4 of a mile away in this scale, that's Mars. 34 miles away is Uranus. I heard some uh laugh. I love it. You love that. Sax, thanks for coming to the event today. Appreciate it.
Hey, how are you guys? Good. How are you? Very good, thanks. Thanks for coming out. I'm excited for this panel. We're going to talk about foreign policy. We have, I think, two of the most interesting, imminent, renowned thinkers about foreign policy. Professor John Mir Shimmer from University of Chicago and Professor Jeffrey Saxs from Colombia. So, great to have you guys here today. There are three great powers in the system. The United States, China, and Russia. China is a pure competitor to the United States. It's the most serious threat to the United States. CIA directors never tell the truth. If they
do, they lose their job. We only have a minute left and it's We got to add 5 minutes. This is the best panel ever been on life. Can we just add 10 minutes? We got to add five or 10 minutes. The best panel. Is this the best panel ever? Sorry, I'm calling an audible. This was the most amazing panel of the event so far. Give it up. If you don't know Michael, you shouldn't be here. Since they started the All-In podcast, I have applied 15 times to be a bestie. How much do you feel like the business is constrained and challenged now by these social movements? Well, I mean, let's start with the woke movement. Okay. I wasn't going to say it. Okay,
here we go. I mean, I I don't have any problem raising it if it doesn't bother you guys. I think I'm okay with it. No. Where do you think we're at right now? I mean, is it all AI all the time? How are you thinking about it? We're at the precipice of the greatest moment in the history of enterprise software and of cloud computing. Got Mark Benos. And then we have a secret guest. Travis Kalanick is coming, founder of Uber and now Cloud Kitchens. He hasn't spoken at a conference or to the press in close to a decade. So, it's kind of a big deal. [Music] I can't believe I get to sit down with
one of the most famous investors in Uber. So, I'm honored. I'm honored to be here. I loved every minute, but when you fall in love again, you don't think about the X very much, right? Would you consider doing what Steve Job did and coming back and merging Cloud Kitchens with Uber? So, you're saying there's a chance this would be the return of the king. This would be my dream. If you came back, it would be a trillion dollar company with you back in that seat. Would you take the seat again if if it was offered? [Music] Well, I definitely know who my head of comms would be. On that note, Travis Kalan. [Music] The party for the Back to the Future
Casino Night will start at 7:00 p.m. tonight at the lot at Formosa. That is it for the announcements. Did you guys enjoy it? Over here. [Music] Um, non sequator Dave, I heard you can battle rap. Yeah. My most impressive talent is I can speak backwards. Oh, may we hear? Okay. Give me something to say. We are driving down sunset. [Music] Tusy driving stone sunset. [Music] We got more. [Music] Here's Have a great 2024 and we'll see you all next year. [Music]
