Amy Klobuchar explains how Minnesota can pursue technology-driven growth while protecting privacy, water, electricity, and local control.
The brief
Live from Minneapolis, Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway frame the Democratic midterm victory as both a political rejection of Donald Trump and a test of what comes next.
Amy Klobuchar discusses becoming Minnesota’s first woman governor and sets out priorities spanning affordability, housing, health care, apprenticeships, child care, AI regulation, and immigration accountability.
Klobuchar’s account of data centers, privacy, political deepfakes, and federal-state technology rules turns growth into a governing question: how can Minnesota attract investment without surrendering local control?
The hosts argue Democrats must replace indignation with a positive economic message, especially for young and Hispanic voters, while separating accountability from political vengeance.
The conversation widens to Elon Musk’s election losses, the Republican succession question, sexism in technology, and Minnesotans’ civic response to immigration-enforcement deaths.
