Charlie Kirk's last interview

On Saturday I watched the final interview of Charlie Kirk which I think was the assassination day at a conference for entrepreneurs. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since he started his non-profit while a teen-ager, but he also has started businesses and mentored others. I didn't know any of this although I'd heard him on a number of different conservative podcasts and seen some of his videos. This was a business audience, so there was nothing particularly evangelistic about it, however, even if I'd known nothing about him or his fame, I would have known from watching this or attending that conference there was something different about him and how he treated people. Watch: Charlie Kirk's last interview right before the fatal event was all about entrepreneurship, Gen-Z, and Elon Musk - US News | The Financial Express

Friday's All-In podcast also was devoted to him--it's a group of 4 venture capitalists--also featured his life and story. Remarkable man, Charlie Kirk. Jason Calacanis, the so-called liberal of All-In, was shocked and respectful, but I doubt he understood the enormity of what our nation has lost. The other three do. Charlie Kirk Murder, Assassination Culture in America, Jimmy Kimmel Suspended, Ellison Media Empire

Two of my favorite podcasts

Two of my go-to podcasts are Megyn Kelly and All-In. Megyn can be a bit of a potty mouth--and that's definitely a negative and I'm not sure why she does it; it doesn't add anything. All-in is all men, and although that can be confusing (I don't watch, only listen) it's 1000x better than trying to listen to a group of women discuss something!

 
All-in is Chamath Palihapitiya, David Friedberg, Jason Calacanis, and David Sacks (created PayPal). Sacks has recently joined Trump as an "unelected" adviser, but I'm not sure what he does, and now there is a guest filling in for him. These guys are venture capitalists, business men, scientists, etc., and talk way over my head, but that's why I listen. They were really divided on Trump, but now at least on policy, are "all-in."

 
Kelly, too, was originally not a fan of Trump or MAGA , and in the first primary back in 2016, she made no bones about it. This time around she's definitely a fan, although it came gradually. Because she is no longer "owned" by a network she can say anything she pleases--and does. She's also a lawyer, a former network host, and a mom of 3, so she has plenty of opinions and expertise to share.

The most recent All-in podcast (weekly, Feb. 14) was Naval Ravikant an Indian-born American entrepreneur and investor. He is the co-founder, chairman and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AngelList. He has invested early-stage in Uber, FourSquare, Twitter, Postmates, SnapLogic, and Yammer.

 
The most recent Kelly podcast (daily) was her interviewing the guys from All-In about Trump, Musk, their appeal to independents and moderates, media, technology and family issues, parenting, and celebrities. I'm always surprised how much the All-in guys talk about family issues.

It was fun to hear my favorites together although they have a somewhat rocky road in their past.
