The Prestigious Job That Nobody Seems to Want




The Daily Dive show

Summary: It might just be the Washington job that no one wants… but there is an opening for White House Chief of Staff. The President announced over the weekend that John Kelly would be leaving at the end of the year, and then next person in line, Nick Ayers, doesn’t want the job, not wanting to serve two years in the post. Daniel Lippman, reporter for Politico, joins us for who might be in line next for this important post. Next, it’s Google’s turn to get the Facebook treatment. After months of dodging requests to testify on Capitol Hill, Google CEO Sundar Pichai will be taking the hot seat today. The House Judiciary committee has signaled that it will not take it easy on Pichai and will be questioning him on privacy, how it handles user’s data, anti- conservative bias, and plans to bring Google back to China. David, McCabe, technology reporter for Axios, joins us for what to expect. Finally, imagine the next time you are on vacation… you look around and realize that all the other tourists around you are taking the same picture as you. There is a sense of “pics or it didn’t happen.” You’ve seen other people pictures on social media and decide, I want to go to that same exact place. Laura Mallonee, writer for Wired, joins us to help answer the question, why we all take the same travel photos.
