Are Insiders Cashing In on Trump’s Iran Talk? | Pivot

Kara and Scott unpack the Trump administration stacking an AI council with Big Tech names, the market-moving chaos around shifting Iran statements, and surprising Democratic wins in Florida — including in Trump’s own backyard. Then, the TSA mess continues, Meta and YouTube are found liable in landmark social media addiction cases, and OpenAI calls it quits on Sora, as Scott predicted. #pivot #podcast #karaswisher #scottgalloway #iran #bigtech #florida #TSA #meta #youtube #socialmedia #openai #sora 00:00 Intro 0:21 Big Tech to Advise Trump 4:06 Kara & The Ellisons 8:47 Trump’s Iran Plans 12:23 Prediction Market Legislation 20:34 Democrats Win in Florida 21:34 DHS Shutdown 29:42 Meta and Youtube Found Liable 39:24 OpenAI Shuts Down Sora 47:57 Amazon’s New Phone 52:48 Predictions Producers: Lara Naaman Zoë Marcus Taylor Griffin Video Producer: Manolo Moreno Vox Media's Executive Producer of Podcasts: Nishat Kurwa Subscribe to Pivot on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pivot/id1073226719 Subscribe to Pivot on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4MU3RFGELZxPT9XHVwTNPR Follow us on Instagram and Threads at: https://www.instagram.com/pivotpodcastofficial/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@PIVOTPODCAST Send us your questions by calling us at 855-51-PIVOT, or email pivot@voxmedia.com
