  The Economist. So I'm in the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco,

• 00:12

  and there's bars and champagne flowing,

• 00:17

  and conversation is all about the excitement of technology and Trump, effectively.

• 00:29

  Henry Trix is our U.S. technology editor.

• 00:32

  And in December,

• 00:33

  he went to a special recording of the All In podcast in front of a live and in some cases quite drunk audience.

• 00:40

  The podcast is hosted by four so-called besties,

• 00:43

  all Silicon Valley venture capitalists who have helped Trump get to the White House.

• 00:47

  And as you could probably tell from the show's festive introduction,

• 00:50

  they don't mind offending people.

• 00:55

  It is I. Santa Canis here to spread joy and stock options and bitcoins to all these fine San Francisco they,

• 01:06

  thems, its, whatevers.

• 01:08

  After an hour and a half, the show wrapped up.

• 01:39

  who you heard pretending to be Santa there, he wasn't exactly made to feel welcome.

• 01:47

  You're going to hate me introducing myself.

• 01:49

  I'm from The Economist.

• 01:50

  I'm very much in the mainstream media.

• 01:52

  Oh, and you're a journalist recording?

• 01:54

  Don't talk to journalists.
