We know how to get people to fuck. Scott and Kara know how to get people to fuck. Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher, RIP Pope Francis, who died doing what he loved best, which was calling J.D. Vance an asshole.
So last night, my kid, my 14-year-old, comes into my room in the middle of the night all upset, and he said, Dad, on my group chat, it says we're bombing the Hooties in 1,900 hours. Should I be worried?
By the way— We're mixing— We're mixing— We're mixing jokes. Scandals here. We're mixing not scandals. I'm serious.
I think everybody—this is my suggestion to everybody, should you decide that there's so much ridiculously insane, deprived weirdness and competence every day that we don't know where to start. Every text message I send out now, I end with, 1700 hours, cash, F-15s, coming into Yemen. Every message I'm putting in, fake military information.
He's referring, Scott's referring to the second signal gate, or probably the 10th, probably the 20th. Pete Hegseth was including his wife, his personal lawyer, friends in attacks on, I think it's Yemen, right? Was it Yemen?
