Recode Radio presents Recode Decode, hosted by Cara Swisher, powered by digital media.

Hi, I'm Cara Swisher, Executive Editor of Recode.

You may know me as the person who thinks booing mic pence is too polite, but in my spare time I talk tech and you're listening to Recode Decode, a podcast about tech and media's key players, big ideas and how they're changing the world we live in.

You can subscribe to Recode Decode at iTunes.com slash Recode Decode, and while you're there, leave us a review.

Today in the red chair, I have two fantastic women who are going to talk about tech and politics. The first is Hillary Rosen, a Democratic political strategist and the managing director of SKD Nicarbocker.

She was previously the CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America where I met her 150 years ago.

Hillary and I are here in Washington DC and we're also joined from New York by Juliana Glover, a Republican consultant who has worked for politicians like George W. Bush, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani.

We're going to talk about this crazy election and what happens next, especially for tech and media.

Hillary and Giuliana, welcome to Recode Decode.

Thank you Cara, great to be here.

Good morning guys, good morning.

There's a lot to talk about. We're going to focus on tech and media obviously, but let's talk a little bit about what's happened over the past four years in the Obama administration.

There's been a lot. You both have worked and consulted with various tech companies and worked on all kinds of issues.

Let's start with you, Giuliana. What you think sort of the big issues have been over the past couple of years, because I think it's pretty clear that Obama's been the first really tech-four president compared to many, many others, although there's been lots of different initiatives over the years.

But what do you think some of the key things that have happened and that have been very important for tech and media?

I think the rise of search and the rise of AI and the rise of sort of this ubiquity in classrooms for interconnectedness.

And I think this president has been very, very good about talking particularly about the interconnectivity and the need for technology to be an economic driver and leverage tool to ensure that children across the country are connected.

Children across the country have the same level of access to great education.

Hillary?
