Summary

Bill Gates is the second-richest man in the world and a famously generous philanthropist, so he knows a thing or two about taxes.

Pulitzer Prize-winning NYT columnist Tom Friedman weighs in on China’s economy and the 2020 race for the White House. Plus, the Postmates CEO Bastian Lehmann has big plans for food delivery; Joe is pushing for Taco Bell to his door.
