Summary
This weekly news episode from Prof G Media, hosted by George Han, breaks down the major stories ahead of Tuesday’s US midterm elections. Historian Heather Cox Richardson compares the current political realignment to the 1850s, arguing that new issues such as data centers, climate change, and AI are creating unexpected coalitions as some Republicans break with their party.
The episode also looks at record campaign spending, with ad totals reported above $11.2 billion according to the New York Times and roughly $850 million directed at the Texas Senate race. Scott Galloway argues that the return on political money may be about to fall sharply, and that the coming years will focus on the responsibilities of wealth.
The remaining segments cover why buying a home in America has become so difficult and the largest IPO in history, including why some investors are staying away. Listeners get a mix of political history, market analysis, and commentary on how technology and data center buildouts are entering the political debate.
