Kara and Scott break down the growing chaos at U.S. airports, as the Trump administration deploys ICE agents to help manage hours-long TSA lines during the DHS shutdown. Then, they unpack Trump’s latest moves on Iran — and the impact on oil prices, markets, and EVs. Plus, Elon Musk faces a rare legal setback, the White House rolls out a new AI framework, and the FCC signs off on the Nexstar–Tegna merger. #pivot #podcast #karaswisher #scottgalloway #tsa #ice #airports #dhs #iran #oilprices #evs #elonmusk #fcc #nexstar #tegna 00:00 Intro 1:29 ICE in Airports 6:30 Trump’s Iran Chaos 20:59 Musk’s Court Loss 32:02 National AI Framework 40:50 Nexstar + Tegna 50:29 Wins and Fails Producers: Lara Naaman Zoë Marcus Taylor Griffin Video Producer: Jim Mackil 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
