Deny and Deflect: Will Anyone Be Held Responsible for Signalgate? | Pivot

Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway break down the fallout from Signalgate (or is it Whiskeyleaks?!). Will the Trump administration continue the strategy of focusing on the semantics of "war plans" and making Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg the enemy? Will there be any consequences for these "morons," as Kara calls them? Plus, auto tariffs, the ongoing expansion of the Trump crypto empire, and Megyn Kelly starts a podcast network.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Pivot, featuring Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher, Deny and Deflect: Will Anyone Be Held Responsible for Signalgate? | Pivot explores signalgate Fallout, Trump Tariffs, Crypto Grift, And Podcast Power Plays Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway dissect the "Signalgate" leak, where senior Trump defense officials shared sensitive Yemen war plans over an unsecured Signal chat that mistakenly included Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg. They highlight the hypocrisy of officials who once demanded harsh punishment for far lesser classified‑info issues, and criticize the White House’s deny-and-deflect crisis response while praising Goldberg and The Atlantic for standing firm. The conversation then shifts to Trump’s new auto tariffs and a family-linked stablecoin venture as evidence of economically illiterate policy and escalating grift that erodes U.S. moral authority. They close by examining Trump-world’s targeted attacks on companies like Disney, the rise of ideologically driven podcast networks such as Megyn Kelly’s, and why podcasting is becoming a dominant, highly monetizable media format.
