Yo, technology. What is it all about?

If Trump gets back into office, he's never leaving.

I don't see any way that the Constitution's prohibition on a third presidential term

is actually enforceable with this man and his crowd taking office.

They are what they are. They're very thuggish, very criminal.

So I think the consequences of them getting back into office are catastrophic in a way that we're still only beginning to deal with. Hello and welcome to Danny in the Valley.

Your weekly dispatch from behind the scenes and inside the minds of the top people in tech.

I'm your host, Danny Fortson.

And man, after my little speed bump last week, we've got a good one for you this week.

So long-time listeners may recall this.

Some years ago, we had on Dimitri Melhorn, who was the founder of an organization called Investing in Us, which is a totally fascinating group. So it was set up right after Donald

Trump was elected in 2016. And Dimitri set it up with Reed Hoffman, the LinkedIn billionaire.

Dimitri is a political strategist. They got together. And the idea was to put hundreds of millions of dollars of Hoffman's dollars into political startups that could help Democrat causes.

And Dmitri is kind of the point man running this whole operation.

The whole point of this operation was to get Donald Trump out of the White House and to keep him out.

So they invested in advocacy organizations, startup media companies, electoral strategy groups,

voter outreach groups, like dozens and dozens and dozens of companies.

You get the idea.

Many of them using technology, using AI to to target swing voters, to get the word out, etc.

In any event, I want to have them on because, well, it's 2024.

And somehow, we're entering America's wild election season where it is, yeah, we're here.

It's going to be Trump versus Biden again.
