EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Pivot, featuring Daniel Lurie and Kara Swisher, Tech Stock Troubles: Cause for Concern or Healthy Reset? | Pivot explores aI Bubble, Tech Froth, Epstein Fallout, And San Francisco’s Reboot This live Pivot episode from San Francisco mixes a local-policy interview with Mayor Daniel Lurie and a wide-ranging discussion of markets, AI, politics, Epstein, and U.S. immigration. Lurie outlines his agenda to fix housing affordability, revive downtown, and demand more civic engagement from tech companies while keeping San Francisco a global AI hub. Swisher and Galloway then dissect the sharp tech-stock selloff, arguing AI valuations resemble a late-stage bubble whose unwinding could shake the global economy. They also explore the political danger of the Epstein document releases for Trump, the weaponization of immigration and health policy, and the cultural and economic impact of AI, drugs, and social issues on American life.
