&lt;p&gt;Trump's approval rating may be near record lows, but tech tycoons and powerhouse CEOs are still all-in with bending the knee to Trump and bearing him gifts. If he turned America into an oligarchy, they'd be OK with that too. Anything to gut regulations and keep their taxes low—even if regular Americans might soon be looking for a pitchfork. Jason tries to explain the view from the tech world to the rest of us. Plus, AI job displacement, Elon's IPO grift, and a counterfactual had Kamala been president.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jason Calacanis &lt;/strong&gt;joins Tim Miller &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;show notes&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

Jason Calacanis: The Silicon Valley Vibes Are Still Pro-Trump

<description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Todd Blanche did one singular thing that particularly pleased Donald Trump: He organized and executed the Epstein cover-up. Democrats must ruthlessly hang Blanche's dirty work on every Republican senator who's willing to confirm him as AG. That includes his moving Ghislaine Maxwell to a cushier prison, the millions of documents he's not releasing, and his complete disregard for the survivors. Plus, Bill Pulte is the linchpin in Trump's plot to interfere with the midterms, Pratt lost fair and square in LA, Scott Pelley made clear how hard Bari Weiss is working to serve POTUS, and Trump managed to make Iran even stronger over the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bill Kristol&lt;/strong&gt; joins Tim Miller.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Show notes&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

Bill Kristol: Make It the Summer of Epstein

<description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The corruption in the Trump administration is so shameless and so abundant that neither the media nor regular people can keep up. While Ivanka’s purchase of a private “fixer-upper” island is getting a lot of attention (aside from infuriated Albanians), the private equity deals her husband is making while supposedly negotiating Middle East peace are not. Trump himself has never had so much money—including from the top businesses paying to play—that the corrupt generational wealth he’s creating will even be around for Barron’s great-grandkids to enjoy. Dems need to start connecting the dots now. Plus, Bill Cassidy is putting his future lobbying career ahead of the American people, no one should ever count Pelosi out, and Tim says Platner is looking like a risky choice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stephanie Ruhle &lt;/strong&gt;joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;show notes&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

Stephanie Ruhle: The Trump Family’s Massive Side Hustle

<description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most of the multibillionaires are not only hoarding their money and failing to contribute to the public good, they're also using their wealth-based power to manipulate the government, the markets, or our elections. Like Elon, for instance, who just manipulated the Nasdaq so all Americans with a 401(k) can help him become the first trillionaire by the end of the year. At some point, there is such a thing as too many billions for one person, and we need to start applying the pre-Reagan tax rate. Plus, 'vanilla' Dems are doing pretty well, maybe not so fast on Pratt 2028, and Trump will never forgive Vance for being right about the Iran war. And &lt;em&gt;Lawfare&lt;/em&gt;'s Katherine Pompilio discusses her exclusive reporting on the significant number of pardoned J6ers who went on to commit subsequent crimes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Katherine Pompilio &lt;/strong&gt;and&lt;strong&gt; JVL &lt;/strong&gt;join Tim Miller.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;show notes&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

Jonathan V. Last: We Got a Billionaire Problem

<description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After "60 Minutes" veteran Scott Pelley was fired, he said that the new management at CBS News had instructed him to put false information in his political stories. Coupled with the decimation at The Washington Post, it feels like there is a vast rightwing conspiracy to take over the media. Plus, the much-promised ceasefire with Iran is nowhere in sight, Megyn Kelly feels duped by Trump, California's marquee races look like they'll be Dem v. MAGA, and Steve King gets revenge. Also, newly minted Democratic Senate nominee in Iowa, Josh Turek, talks about his prairie populism, how he'll win over Trump voters, the state's farmaggedon, and its growing cancer rate. And three NBA super-fans give their picks for the finals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Josh Turek &lt;/strong&gt;and&lt;strong&gt; Luke Russert &lt;/strong&gt;join Tim Miller.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;show notes&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
