🚨 @patrickbetdavid talks about why human connection is what keeps customers coming back
"All these companies that moved their entire customer service to AI, their business dropped off and customers started going to other companies... Because people want to talk to people"
How is requiring a photo ID to vote controversial?
According to Pew Research, 83% of Americans support requiring a government issued photo ID to vote.
Here’s how things stand today:
Only 23 states require a photo ID to vote.
13 more require some form of identification.
14 states (plus D.C.) do not require voters to show any ID at the polls. 👀
Yet we need an ID for:
- Boarding a commercial flight - Opening a bank account - Buying a home - Renting an apartment - Renting a car - Buying alcohol - Buying tobacco products - Purchasing a firearm - Collecting Social Security benefits - Getting a passport - Obtaining a driver’s license - Registering a vehicle - Picking up prescriptions - Checking into a hotel - Purchasing a cell phone - Entering a nightclub
But requiring an ID to hire the most powerful employee in America is considered offensive?
By the way, California is one of the states that does not require a photo ID to vote.
Coincidence? You decide.
You Can't Criticize Trump Then Ignore This
Scott Galloway: "Every election is a choice, not a marriage proposal. We're not hiring a priest, we're hiring a senator."
PBD: "By the way, a person can have this position. However, you can't say this, but at the same time repeatedly discussing Trump's marriage, infidelity allegations, personal conduct.
So if you take that position, you have to take that position across the board with everybody. Then there's hypocrisy if you do that."
Make Elections Fair Again
"All we care about with voter ID is guess what Democrats, if you win, maybe you have better ideas, maybe Americans want your ideas, maybe they do. And if you don't, you don't, but make it flipping fair."
"By the way, I still believe Pratt's gonna come ahead because Tom had a prediction of what he thinks is gonna be happening. It's such a close, close call."

Why Muslim Voters Shifted Toward Trump
Mehdi Hasan: "52% of Muslim Americans said that homosexuality should be accepted in society. You know how many white evangelical Protestants said that? 34%."
PBD: "10 countries where homosexuality is a legal punishment: Afghanistan, Saudi, Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, Qatar, Somalia, UAE, Nigeria... I think the reason why the Muslim vote went from 24% to 31% for Trump is because the liberals got so caught in the LGBTQ community."
Mehdi Hasan: "At the end of the day, and I say this to Muslim communities, you can't vote based just on religion or just on foreign policy. You cannot be single issue voters. As a Muslim American you need to care about everything in America. You need to care about the economy, you need to care about healthcare, and I think most Muslim Americans do..."
Microsoft unveiled an AI badge with a camera that can record tasks and track your entire workday.
"Look, it's good and bad. For example, we sometimes record meetings so we can have a transcript. Then we put the transcript through AI, and then we get action items, we get all the notes, and we get everything. So having a constant transcript of everything that is going on is very useful if you're thinking about productivity."
"And then you have the privacy concerns. Big corporations, they wanna get more data on how and what their employees are doing to train models to probably replace them down the line. So I'm very split on this one."
