Description: Palantir CEO and co-founder Alex Karp has written a new book: “The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West.” Karp explains his call to arms for Silicon Valley, underscoring the geopolitics ingrained in Western tech innovation. In Riyadh, the Saudis hosted the U.S. and Russia for discussions to end the Ukraine-Russia War–without the Ukrainians or any other Europeans. Former Deputy National Security Advisor to President Trump Victoria Coates explains the significance of the meetings and what it might portend for geopolitics, including global energy markets, and access to rare earth minerals in Ukraine. Plus, four officials have resigned from the NYC Mayor’s office amid calls for Mayor Adams’ own resignation, and a Delta plane crash in Toronto resulted in zero fatalities.  Phil LeBeau - 10:08Victoria Coates - 18:09Alex Karp - 27:48 In this episode:Phil LeBeau, @LebeaucarnewsBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
