Okay, on today's program Bradley Tusk, he is a political advisor turn startup investor.

He was able to get stock in Uber at one of the earliest rounds as an advisor to Travis

and the team over there on how to deal with the taxis, commissions and politicians who

were in the pockets of those taxi commissions to get Uber to spread across the world.

Now he made so much money from that prescient move to take Uber shares as opposed to cash

for his services that he built that into his new model for his venture firm where he invests

in companies like Coinbase and Circle and then helps them with things like crypto regulation.

I think he's also an investor in Birch and helped them with their regulations of having scooters

on the street. He's worked on sports betting and we talk about Facebook and all the different

regulations and the issues going on. What actually motivates politicians? It was a really,

really candid discussion and how mobile voting could save our democracy. It's an amazing.

I think top 10, top five episode of 2021, you're going to want to watch this one twice,

but first we're going to talk about Facebook getting sued by the Ohio AG.
