The Hive's hosts Jon Kelly and Kristen Scholer discuss the latest news in politics, business, and technology. From Hope Hicks' sudden departure from the White House to the Kardashian's impact on social media, we have you covered.
Vanity Fair's Tina Nguyen says that Hope Hicks has always had a special place in the White House, she just hadn't been pushed into the public eye. All that changed when her boyfriend, Rob Porter, was accused of assaulting his ex-wives. That, plus her testimony at a House intelligence briefing over "white lies" she's told seemed to put her over the edge and caused her to resign.
Plus, no one thought John Kelly could nuke out Jared Kushner...but he did! Kushner's security clearance has been downgraded this week and his future at the White House is uncertain.
Space tourism company World View plans to launch its first commercial flights in early 2024, with voyages to take off from iconic locations around the world like the Grand Canyon — but seemingly at a flexible price point. Dale Hipsh, president of tourism and exploration at World View, joined Cheddar to discuss what a trip to the stratosphere would look like with his company and its much less expensive take on space travel. "Our technology allows us to be more democratic, to offer more opportunities for people to experience near space, and that overview effect," he said. "So we're really thrilled to be bringing it to market."
