Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Support for today's show comes from Atteo, the AI CRM. If you've ever used a CRM and thought, why does this feel like a second job? Atteo is worth a look. Atteo is the AI CRM that builds itself. You connect your email and calendar and it pulls in every company, every contact, and every interaction, already organized in one place. From there, it keeps itself up to date.
It understands your customer calls, adapts to how your business works, and the AI agents take action in the background so you can focus on what matters. If you need an intelligent CRM that scales and grows with your business from day one, that's Attio. You can go to attio.com slash pivot and you'll get 15% off your first year. That's A-T-T-I-O dot com slash pivot.
If HBO is cocaine and Netflix is edibles, CBS is literally like fiber supplement.
Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher.
And I'm Scott Galloway.
How you doing, Scott?
I'm doing well. How are you?
This has been quite a week. What's going on in this country is really disturbing on so many levels. It's been disturbing. I don't know. How are you doing? How's everything going? How are you feeling?
Yeah, I feel better. Yeah, everything's good. It's good to be in New York.

Chapter 2: What is Trump's threat regarding the Insurrection Act about?
Here, Pravda, here's what we want you to say. It doesn't have any reporting involved in it. And it's in order to create this ridiculous, and everyone has seen the video that this guy was more hurt than her. I'm sorry, she's dead. And he has, I don't know, a bruise? Then to facilitate that is really bad.
And so I think what they're trying to do is create equalization and trying to sort of smear this woman who seems to have been in the PTA. You know, calling this whole thing about women wine moms, angry wine moms, or white women who are smug, lectured by men, white men who are smug, who actually invented smug. It's just this equalization.
And again, one person's dead, one person's shot in the leg, and the others aren't. And I just, it's... I don't know what to say. And for a news organization to go along with that is really an embarrassment to the legacy of Walter Cronkite.
Here's the good news. It's fucking irrelevant.
Yes, it is. That's true.
It's true. If HBO is cocaine and Netflix is edibles, CBS is literally like fiber supplement.
Psyllium.

Chapter 3: How is ICE involved in the protests in Minneapolis?
What's that called? Psyllium? If you were to visit one of their editorial meetings, right? Yeah. You'd go in and you'd see a giant whiteboard and they'd write, okay, our audience is tired, scared, and eating a lot of soup. I mean, who cares?
You're right. The numbers are really bad.
It just doesn't really fucking matter what a lower middle income 83-year-old in Iowa who- I know, but Fox does it well, I have to say.
They do their heinous shit well.
Well, they've gone full stripper pole, cosplaying, political news. I mean, and they're also very talented and they've leaned into- They're entertaining in a really heinous way, I would say.
Anyway, you're right. The numbers are down.
I wouldn't even know how to find CBS online. Although I have been watching, wait, is Landman, that's CBS, that's Paramount, right?
That's Paramount, yeah.
But he's leaving. That shit's really good.
