People 28

• DS David Sacks A real argument about safety-as-moat, made from inside government by someone whose portfolio benefits; my lean is no, pending the three tests. 5 discussions · 3 episodes
• BH Ben Horowitz Same turn as Andreessen, but with an inherited template, his father's left-to-right flip, and a warmer personal record. 2 discussions · 1 episode
• CP Chamath Palihapitiya The pure opportunist with a refugee's reasons: access as currency, empathy rationed to a small perimeter, and SPAC regret that came after the money. 2 discussions · 1 episode
• CC Connie Chan A real candidate with a real story, not just Pelosi's pick, though her candidacy is entangled with Pelosi's machine. 2 discussions · 1 episode
• EM Elon Musk Motivated reasoning, not malice, but on USAID the effect was the same; he engages with critics, not with evidence. 2 discussions · 2 episodes
• PT Peter Thiel The source code for the whole cast; Girard explains him best, and I think the contrarianism has become the costume. 2 discussions · 2 episodes
• SW Scott Wiener The stronger candidate on paper, passed over mostly because of Pelosi's machine; the snub was probably a matter of style, not intent. 2 discussions · 2 episodes
• BW Bari Weiss The same grievance engine as the tech right, run from the other side; the question is whether sincerity survives contact with power. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• DR Dave Regan Calls ballot initiatives 'the best bargain in American politics' and has filed up to 48 since 2012 — using the ballot box as an attrition and bargaining weapon against hospitals, dialysis clinics, and now California's billionaires. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• ES Emmanuel Saez & Gabriel Zucman For the union, Prop 40 is leverage; for Saez and his academic co-drafters, it is a live precedent play — including a deliberate Section 5033(c)(3)(C) voting-control valuation floor and appraiser penalties designed as a template other states can copy. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• GN Gavin Newsom Campaigned for Prop 1A in 2008, admitted the full rail line probably won't materialize in our lifetime, then locked in $1B a year through 2045 and vetoed the Inspector General staffing bill right after its travel audit — while simultaneously breaking with his left flank to oppose Prop 40's billionaire tax ahead of 2028. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• IC Ian Choudri A 30-year rail engineer who genuinely believes he can deliver a train, but whose contractor-side blind spots produced a KPMG travel scandal, late-night consultant rideshares to his Folsom home, and a $537.3M change-order settlement. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• JC Jason Calacanis The most reactive of the four: politics that track proximity, plus a genuinely rare habit of owning failure in public. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• MA Marc Andreessen He didn't lose the plot; he found one that pays better, and the manifesto came before the grievance. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• NP Nancy Pelosi Backing Chan over Wiener is both sincere and strategic, but the machine part is doing more work. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• ZM Zohran Mamdani A pragmatist wearing a socialist costume: free buses are sane, groceries are shaky, the rent freeze worries me, and housing supply is the real story. 1 discussion · 1 episode
• BG Brian Galle Not discussed in an episode yet
• CP Christine Pelosi Both Pelosis deny she sought the House seat, and I take that at face value; the 'she'll succeed Nancy' call is reporting, not proof. Not discussed in an episode yet
• CC Connie Chan Not discussed in an episode yet
• DA Dario Amodei Not discussed in an episode yet
• DT Donald Trump Not discussed in an episode yet
• EM Emmanuel Macron Not discussed in an episode yet
