I mean, being anti-constitutional on this because they're like, well, wait a minute. If that happens now, what happens in the next democratic administration? Like if you're all these, you know, kind of crazy, you know, kind of. Just be free speech. The speech that I like. Because what happens when there's a different administration who doesn't like my free speech? Yes, exactly. So you have to be, and of course I find it, I find who is really legitimately free speech or not is if they were speaking up against, you know, Carr, who frankly, I think on this, you know, I think there was, there would be a good reason for him to lose his …”

Despite claims of its decline, San Francisco remains the only city with significant growth in VC-backed companies over the past three years. Experts argue that the city's unique network effects create a compounding advantage for startups, making it difficult for other cities like Miami and Austin to take its place. This insight challenges the narrative around the rise of new tech hubs and highlights the enduring strength of established ecosystems.
“… United States, sort of struggling with their messaging. And MAGA, very upset. And, you know, certainly the, can you imagine, can you imagine it's Tucker Carlson, who's the only one who's actually tried to tell Trump the negative fallout of a possible war with Iran. The rest of them just off they went into it. It's what's launched him into front runner status for 2028. Yeah. But I wonder what's going to play out internally in the politics of the US. I don't know. And also in the context of Americans. Look, we love us a good new war. And a lot of times, if you remember, you know, H.W. Bush, when he …”
“… had 41% of Americans for and 41 against, right? So that's pretty equal. The latest one from yesterday from Washington Post found 52 against and 39 in favor. And you've seen all the officials, the major cabinet officials, including the president of the United States, sort of struggling with their messaging. And MAGA, very upset. And, you know, certainly the, can you imagine, can you imagine it's Tucker Carlson, who's the only one who's actually tried to tell Trump the negative fallout of a possible war with Iran.

I don't know. And also in the context of Americans. Look, we love us a good new war. And a lot of times, if you remember, you know, H.W. Bush, when he started bombing the Middle East, his stuff would go up to 90 percent. Like generally, Americans rally around the president and the flag during these times. So to start out with even 50 50 about going into a place like that is shocking for these types of operations. But as we wrap up, and I'm cognizant that you guys have a lot to do, the one area we …”

The U.S. is struggling to maintain a consistent stance on Iran amid internal political divisions and shifting public opinion.
“Okay, speaking of Iran, Tucker has just made a startling claim. Tucker came out, I think he posted this yesterday, maybe the day before. He says that the CIA has been surveilling him to build a case against him, prosecute him as some kind of Iranian spy. So the other day I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me, a crime report to the Department of Defense. justice on the basis of a supposed crime i committed what's that crime well …”

“… then. But anyway, and so that for me is what's interesting. It's one thing for Marjorie Telly Green, who's at least temporarily out of politics, Tucker Carlson, who at least doesn't say yet that he's running for president, others to kind of take this position. And it's another thing for a guy who has run twice and wants to run in the future, I'm sure, to take to visibly decide I'm going to be the guy who the first guy to quit from the Trump administration over this. I'm going to be the guy who's going to be a sort of headline guy. Here we are discussing him, you know, as an opponent of this mistaken …”
“… and being anti the Iran war on the grounds that Israel suckered us into it. You're doing it's the Middle East. It's Iraq all over again. Israel was not particularly in favor of the Iraq war, incidentally. They were much more focused on Iran even back then. But anyway, and so that for me is what's interesting.

Trump has said over and over, MAG is what I say it is. And it's sort of interesting that here in March 2026, someone who who is a huge Trump supporter is saying, nope, actually, Maggie, isn't what you say it is, Mr. President. Yeah, yeah. If you're just joining us right now, Bill and I are talking about the sort of very, very …”
