Steve HayesHOST
I'm joined by Jonah Goldberg, Dispatch co-founder, Mike Warren, politics editor at The Dispatch, and Klon Kitchen, who for fifteen years served as an intelligence officer focusing on counterterrorism, cyber operations, and covert actions.
Steve HayesHOST
Klon was national security advisor to former Senator Ben Sasse and played a pivotal role in the U.S. Cyberspace Solarium Commission, crafting the strategic blueprint for America's cyber defense.
Steve HayesHOST
Most significantly, Klon is the former author of the Dispatch's tech and national security newsletter, The Current.

Let's dive right in.
Andrew YangGUEST
I, uh, read a book or two, and I nodded my head being like, "Oh yeah, this is definitely gonna be necessary." Plus, I knew that AI was gonna be able to do my old job at Davis Polk, and so if it could do that job, then it could do a ton of other jobs because that was a job that required a lot of education and schooling.
Daniel LubetzkyHOST
I interviewed Senator Ben Sasse, and he stood very strongly at UBI because he thinks work gives you self-worth and meaning.

Andrew YangGUEST
He's right.

Jonah GoldbergHOST
author of many excellent books and a good friend of mine who had got some bad news not too long ago about having pancreatic cancer.
Jonah GoldbergHOST
He responded atypically, let's say, and decided this is the moment to actually have a podcast.
