I don't want to see Donald Trump naked necessarily, but... Have you ever thought about it, though?
Anthony Scaramucci 1:16
Has it ever, like, gone into the brain?
Kara Swisher 1:21
Hi, everyone. This is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Cara Swisher. Scott is off today, so I brought in the one and only Anthony Scaramucci, the Mooch, podcaster, founder of SkyBridge Capital, and author of the upcoming book, which is getting a lot of kudos, All the Wrong Moves. And I think I gave you a blurb, Anthony, didn't I?
Anthony Scaramucci 1:42
I got a blurb. Hey, listen.
Kara Swisher 1:44
I never give blurbs. You know that.
Anthony Scaramucci 1:45
I had to use the crowbar, ladies and gentlemen, to get the... I pivoted on pivot. I had to use the crowbar to get the blurb out of her, but it worked.
Kara Swisher 1:54
No, it's a big deal when I give a blurb. I gave one to you. I've given one to Ari Emanuel. Those are the only two. But I used his to insult him.
Anthony Scaramucci 2:02
I'm looking forward to his book, actually.
Kara Swisher 2:04
It's good.
Anthony Scaramucci 2:04
I feel like you're going to learn a lot about Hollywood in that book.
Kara Swisher 2:07
Actually, you learn a lot about him, I have to say.
Anthony Scaramucci 2:09
Okay, better yet. If I'm learning more about him, then better yet.
Kara Swisher 2:12
It's got a sadness to it, actually. It's got a depth to it. How about a depth to it? Like struggles that he had, and he never shows it.
Anthony Scaramucci 2:21
I think what you and I love about people is the authenticity and honesty, and it sounds like we're going to be getting that from Ari, so I look forward to the book.
Kara Swisher 2:29
Yeah.

How did Trump insert himself into the World Cup controversy?

Kara Swisher 2:29
All right, but so be honest with me. You were at Taylor Swift's wedding, weren't you?
Anthony Scaramucci 2:32
Well, I'll be really honest with you and tell you, I would have liked to have been invited to Taylor Swift's wedding. Because when you look up in the dictionary, name dropping and star fucking, there's a picture of me. But alas, I was not invited to her wedding.
Kara Swisher 2:44
It made no sense, the invitations. I mean, I got the dancers and everybody else, like all her friends and her cousins and everything. But the celebrities were just odd. Some of them were obvious, like, you know, Bradley Cooper and those kind of people. But, you know, like Adam Sandler being the officiant was interesting. It was such a dog's breakfast of celebrities. It was fascinating. What do you think?
Anthony Scaramucci 3:09
Well, what I love about it is it was original and it was true to whatever they wanted to do. You know, at the end of the day, it's your wedding. Have at it.
Kara Swisher 3:17
Oh, I liked it.
Anthony Scaramucci 3:18
And they went crazy. I mean, I one time got married with a lot of fanfare in a Roman Catholic church. The second time I got married, Deirdre and I got married in our living room. So, I mean, you know, it's a time in their lives. They're both first time married. I wish them nothing but great success with their marriage. But you know what? If you don't mind, I'm going to give them a shout out because they did list 20 charities. And I'm on the board of City Harvest, which is one of the largest food banks in the country, if not the largest. And they gave a million dollars to City Harvest. And so God bless them for doing that because we have a lot of food insecure people in our great city, Cara.
Kara Swisher 3:54
Yeah, they gave a bunch to Dolly Parton.
