What happened behind the scenes at the White House Tech Dinner?
We didn't have ties in Brooklyn. What do you want me to do? All right. Well, it was an eventful week. Some of our besties. Some, not all, were invited apparently to a uh a little soiree at the White House with the president. Sachs and Shabbat, here's a photo. Some pretty good seeing arrangement here. It looks like Zuckerberg got the uh pole position on the right hand of the father. Followed by Saxy Pooh and Shemouth and Amore. sitting right across from Sam Altman Tim Cook. What a crowd. What a crowd. What was the um What was the uh impetus for this dinner, Sax? Tell us.
Well, this was a tech dinner at the White House. I think it originally started with a group that Shamath organized in Silicon Valley and they were kind of the core nucleus of this and then more and more people just wanted to come and try to get in and The president invited some of the top tech leaders and Pretty soon it turned into the room that you saw there. I mean it's really pretty amazing. President Trump's ability to convene all of these people. You normally don't get these people in a room together. Many of them are competitors.

And I just felt like there was a sense of alignment and cooperation. And that was really cool. I think none of those folks. have to really show up anywhere that they don't have to. I think they're at a place in their career and the importance of the businesses that they run. But the fact that the president can convene them, I think says a lot about him and the agenda. And then they 201 were incredibly supportive of what he has done and clearing the way and allowing them to build their businesses with a lot more clarity.
It was just very clear the juxtaposition of what it was like and the difficulty under Biden versus what it was now. And you saw some very truly hard-cast liberals who have now completely embraced President Trump, folks like Tim Cook, folks like Bill Gates. And I think that that's an incredible technical.
