Summary

Scott and Ed open the show by discussing Kalshi’s decision to appoint Donald Trump Jr. as its new advisor, a decline in tipping across America, and the economic impact of the wildfires in Los Angeles. Then Andrew Ross Sorkin, editor-at-large of DealBook at the New York Times and co-anchor of CNBC’s Squawk Box, joins the show to discuss the key economic trends he’s watching for Trump’s second term. He explains why he thinks the private equity space is broken right now, analyzes the changing landscape of the AI industry, and shares his thoughts on the rumors that China is considering selling TikTok to Elon Musk.
