1. SGScott Galloway0:00

   Can I ask you a professional question?

2. KSKara Swisher0:01

   Sure.

3. SGScott Galloway0:02

   So, you know, Bobby Kennedy was on Bill Maher when I was on, right?

4. KSKara Swisher0:06

   Yeah.

5. SGScott Galloway0:07

   And I got to know him. By the way, incredibly likable guy. Um-

6. KSKara Swisher0:11

   Obviously.

7. SGScott Galloway0:12

   ... and impressive in person.

8. KSKara Swisher0:14

   He has charisma.

9. SGScott Galloway0:14

   And it's re-... Uh, and not only that, to be fair, he's been great on the environment. He's been a leader, like around-

10. KSKara Swisher0:19

11. SGScott Galloway0:19

    ... the environment on some issues. Anyways, um, I got to know him. Texted me and said, uh, and his head of com said, "We'd really like to come on the Prof G pod."

12. KSKara Swisher0:29

    Oh no. Okay.

13. SGScott Galloway0:31

17. SGScott Galloway0:40

    Not have him on. Why?

18. KSKara Swisher0:41

    Maybe. Um-

19. SGScott Galloway0:43

    Maybe, yeah. See? It's not, it's not a slam dunk, is it? I, it took me a while to think about it.

I didn't agree with most everything he said, and he of course ended up getting fired from that interview. Um, uh, I don't mean to say you're not qualified to take this guy on, but I think you will take a mis-

23. SGScott Galloway1:11

24. KSKara Swisher1:13

    I, I don't care if he is.
