Netanyahu at the Capitol & CrowdStrike in the Spotlight 07/24/24

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is headed to Congress today. “The Genius of Israel” co-author Dan Senor discusses the geopolitics at play in the leader's US visit, as well as the politics of who’s attending the speech. In the aftermath of the largest IT outage in history, Rand senior analyst Jonathan Welburn is asking whether CrowdStrike–and other big tech firms–are too big to fail. Plus, Alphabet’s YouTube ad revenue came up short in the latest quarter, Visa reported a rare miss on revenues, Elon Musk is denying a report that he’d be donating $45m a month to former President Trump’s election campaign, and the Biden administration scored a tentative win in its efforts to ban non-competes.
