EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Pivot, featuring Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, How the Murdoch Family Feud Is Like "Succession" | Pivot explores Murdoch Family Trust War Exposes Dynastic Power, Politics, And Failure Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway dissect the Murdoch family’s legal battle over Rupert Murdoch’s attempt to change an “irrevocable” family trust to give sole control to his eldest son, Lachlan. They debate Lachlan’s performance as CEO and Fox/News Corp’s outsized political influence compared to its market value, including its role in shaping Republican politics. The conversation then widens into a critique of dynastic wealth, trusts, and U.S. tax policy that enables family empires with significant political power. Both hosts frame the saga as a real-life version of “Succession,” arguing it represents not just governance dysfunction, but also personal failure in family relationships.
