investor and entrepreneur david sachs, thank you for coming on the show.a little fun but get your take, one of our digital stars, brooks sayingman interviewed donald trump ended read trump touts silicon valley support, says tech leaders can't relate to low iq biden. i have a high iq, period, end quote. what do you make of that? >> there's an old saying come many a true word said in jest, he says funny things but there's a serious point, no comparison between the cognitive abilities of these two men. what we saw last night, a fundraiser for donald trump, sharp, on the ball, stayed for four hours and talked to everybody, the whole crowd, everyone loved him and at the same time you saw biden at that d-day event and looks like you couldn't keep up with what he was doing. there is no question about which of these men is cognitively sort of more with it and intact. larry: he reportedly raised the $12 million, a nice piece of change, you can do three or four times as much in the next few months. how many people were at your event? >> 100 people. when we agreed to

you have to take david sachs with a grain of salt as you would any endorser of a political candidate. is not scheduled to go republican. it is important to note the swing states, you are at the margin of error. it is an incredibly close vote, election, right now, if you were to hold it. trump leads in several of these swing states, but by such a narrow margin that the margin of error encompasses it. it is unclear that he has a lead even though, it may be more microscopic than we think. therefore, really important to watch what happens with the independent undecided voters. they are going to carry this election. claudia: a new fox poll done in may in which candidate voters trust more gives trump a big lead 55% to 42%. how does he convince voters that he's the best man to combat inflation and interest rates when prices at the grocery store are still really high for so many americans? >> he has a big burden, no question about it. this inflation we have all experienced in the grocery store happened as a result of the pandemic. all the shortages, the factories that close down, lack of supp

and while we know right now is it's at the home of billionaire venture capitalist david sachs, who is obviously a staunch supporter of the former president, now it is creating a buzz because you have more of these tech leaders, publicly supporting mr. trump. but to get into that event, jessica, it'll cost you anywhere from 50,000 to $300,000. that's for that vip ticket. so, again, this could help the former president raise millions of dollars for his campaign. yeah, he's also mr. sachs, also one of the people participates in that all in podcast, so, yeah, the people that are there, you have both sides pro trump and against trump. yes we do again a large group here are, trump supporters. there are a lot of them were at that rally earlier. we do got some counter-protesters here. i talked to them not too long ago, here's what they had to say. san francisco and the bay area is a destination for fundraising. so, you know, biden was here at the next door house a while ago. so it's to be expected. do i appreciate it? no, it's not just san francisco. it's not just l.a, it's the state of calif

you mentioned david sachs, for example. okay, other people, you know, tesla, elon musk, sherm musk, you know, he's moving over to trump. so we're seeing the big guys, a number of them move over from the democrats or more independents to trump. we don't know how much of that sticks. we don't know how much of that falls to those below them. but it's something to watch. well, mr. trump, we'll be here thursday. is he is it still happening? he's getting a lot more money out raising a lot more money. since he was convicted last week of 34 felony counts, he raised more than $50 million just in the first 24 hours. it's unprecedented. and his campaign says that about 25% of those people were newbies. people who gave money for the first time. we don't know. you know, we'll we'll get the results from all that in july when the next this last quarter's reports are actually put into the federal election commission. but certainly for now, a politically and more so financially, the trump campaign has got a good jump. final question here. w

today's event is hosted by venture capitalist david sachs and chamath palihapitiya. >> i've donated to bobby kennedy. i've donated to the democrats massively, and i'll donate to donald trump. and if there's an opportunity to talk to president biden and really understand where he's at, i donate to him as well. >> the two investors held similar fundraisers for other candidates before of all parties. together, they host a podcast called all in, which is posted on youtube. there they talk about trump's fundraiser, saying they've sent an invitation to host and fundraise for president biden, as well as david sachs says he thinks today's event will reveal just how much support trump has in the bay area. quite frankly, there's a lot of preference falsification going on in silicon valley. >> i know there's a lot of people in silicon valley who we know because we know who's coming. >> yeah, you have the list of people who don't. >> i mean, look, nobody is excited about biden, okay? nobody's excited about biden right now. so the only question is, do they hold their nose and vote for him? or do th

tonight's event, hosted at the home of venture capitalist david sachs, and it is sold out tickets ranging from 50,000 a person to $500,000 a couple. tonight's event, expected to raise north of $12 million for the trump campaign. mr. sachs spoke about hosting this event on his all in podcast host. >> quite frankly, there's a lot of preference falsification going on in silicon valley. i know there's a lot of people in silicon valley who we know because we know who's coming. there's a lot of people who i do think support trump. >> i'm really looking forward to being there, welcoming him. and, you know, kind of feeling the excitement of california's tech glitterati, who have decided to publicly support president trump. i think it's incredible. the energy is really palpable. and it shows where we are in this country that i've lived here for almost 25 years, and this is the first time that i can tell that a critical mass of tech leaders would publicly support a republican candidate. >> now, in the 4 to 8 hours after that guilty verdict, the republican national committee said it raised $70 milli

. $12 million in the latest foray out west, but also, david sach's, the investors, not committing to anyone, he committed to donald trump saying what joe biden is doing is far worse and more worrisome, echoes from what you're hearing from a lot of silicon valley, liberal types, not across the board, but a lot holding back and coming out now and saying, all right, this is the guy because we don't like the guy who is presently in there. how do you see this playing out this summer and the money raising, and certainly in the political commitment front? >> donald trump's obviously won an election before being massively outspent by his opponent. in 2016 hillary clinton had a lot more money than he did and he managed to win. you see a lot of people openly defecting. and for a while there was the chilling effect of the silicon valley elite, and the financial elite and distanced themselves from trump. that's in the background. and the focus is not just for invests terrified by the movement in the bond markets now, the fact the entire stock market is held up by ai boom and specifically nvidia

elon musk, steve schwartzman from blackstone, nelson peltz, david sachs, janet petit, bill ackman, ken vice president pick will be. if he likes it he will throw in for trump, that has to cause serious heartburn for the biden administration. >> not just billionaires who have money which of course is a big problem when you're trying to get money, especially campaign come august october november, those last-minute you want to get to the voters, talking about issues coming up that are going to turn people's votes at the very last minute, but it is the audiences that actually bring with them. david sachs, for example, this week came out saying i have contrasted trump's record and biden's record, right next to each other, and things were better under donald trump and they come from an atypical, nonpolitical background of people that aren't necessarily fitting into the republican column or the democratic column, at a time when independent voters take up a significant portion of the electorate and they are looking at very specific issues when it comes to the economy, freedom on financial regul

david sachs wanted to stand as to win and lots of people until in silicon valley, sorry, david's talked about run a set its to win and for lots of folks in the industry, donald trump was other first choice. but if you're, if you're choice is robert f. kennedy or donald trump, when you're decided you don't want joe biden, president republicans, and silicon valley are getting on the trump train. and i think that trump is going to be making more trips to the valley. this is his first trip to san francisco in over a decade but he is finding that this industry, which is so associated with liberalism, with openness, with the obama era bono me between, you know the optimism, optimism of the tech industry that's done. it's a pretty dark place in some quarters silicon valley now is this a one-off? >> are there other people at other fundraisers up ahead? i mean, that the mount monday you talking about raising is an already huge haul from the hush money trial so donald trump is there in part because of jd vance who is a possible vice presidential candidate. and vance has really been encouraging th

sachs commented on the situation, not in favor, many agreed with him.ka, news. orthodox believers today celebrate one of the main holidays , the day of the holy trinity, which always falls on the fiftieth day after easter. this is the patronal feast of trinity serge. more than a thousand believers gathered for it. before the start of the liturgy, the primate of the russian orthodox church prayed before the trinity icon by andrei rublev. the day before , the icon was transported from the cathedral of christ the savior to its historical place in the troy cathedral monasteries. the parishioners had been waiting for this event for about a century. now the shrine will be permanently located in the cathedral. now there is a short advertisement, after which we will continue the release, stay with us. one of my friends connected unlimited in a megaphone completely free of charge, and now she surfs the internet all the time. hurry up to connect unlimited megapowers before the end of summer so that the internet doesn’t run out. and will be. only in a megaphone. i

the organizer david sachs along with another tech investor they have supported democrats in the past,s time around they're throwing all of their support behind the former president. they're hoping that this event will actually encourage more in the tech community to come out in support of the former president. i mean, there's two factors at play here, one is on the policy side. trump is seen -- and the republican policies are seen as more friendly or at least less hostile to the tech community, whereas president biden and his administration, his regulators, are seen as tougher on things like big tech, gig economy, generative ai. so that's a play here, but the other factor here is that a lot of folks here will say that some of the folks who are in support of the former president will say that this has just been a silent movement that is coming to the forefront. >> i was on with stephanie ruhle the other night and she called the move among the billions toward donald trump transactional. here is what i can get if i give my money to donald trump, she cited the meeting he had with the oil

behind me is the house that belongs to david sachs and, you know, it is $3,000 a -- $5,000 a ticket,for a vip ticket. as you mentioned, they are expected to raise some $12 million or more from the trump campaign, but some other folks say that it's just becoming more acceptable to be a republican in san francisco. in fact, we just saw someone walk by in full republican gear, which is truly not a common sight in san francisco. you called it a bastion of liberalism, of the democratic party, that is very true. so there is a shift happening. david sachs who is hosting the fundraiser tonight says he hopes this event will allow more supporters to come out of the shadows and support trump publicly and economically. >> basil, trump is in san francisco just 24 hours after vice president harris was there, that's her hometown, right? she told donors it's time we have to roll up our sleeves. i mean, obviously they're very aware of the number of big money donors, ceos who might have reasonably been expected to be in the biden camp who have made a decision, much to the chagrin and sometimes surpris
