October 30, 2026 · 34 min

Show notes

Binance was hacked in the largest crypto heist ever, impacting $6.3 billion, and Alphabet stock suffered its worst day since Google went public in 2004, dropping 13% on Thursday and wiping out roughly $500 billion in market cap. Just days away from the U.S. midterms, Representative Suzan DelBene (D-WA) addresses her party’s hopes for voters as they cast ballots with affordability in mind. As Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Rep. DelBene also addresses the Democrats’ voting scandal in Alaska. Plus, biographer Walter Isaacson discusses Elon Musk’s involvement in politics, including his latest X post warning that democracy is at stake in the upcoming election.
