| 0:00.0 | I want you to go to jail next. You need to Don Lemon this shit. That's what you need to do. |
| 0:04.6 | Oh, that would take our subscribers way up. We need to get arrested. Hi, everyone from New York Magazine in the Vox Media Podcast Network. |
| 0:22.2 | This is on with Kara Swisher, and I'm Kara Swisher. |
| 0:25.0 | My guest today is Scott Galloway. |
| 0:26.9 | You know who Scott is. |
| 0:28.0 | He's the professor of marketing at NYU Stern School of Business, the founder of multiple firms, |
| 0:32.7 | including L2, Red Envelope, and Profit, and a best-selling author many times over, |
| 0:37.3 | and of course my co-host on P, and a best-selling author many times over, and of course, |

When I initially heard it, I thought, oh, okay, it's an interesting idea. Now I actually think it's a great idea because working with a lot of people to impact companies has more impact than you think. |
| 1:28.4 | And of course, it hits Trump where he hurts, which is in the wallet, his big, fat, corrupt wallet. |
| 1:33.7 | And it's important to send a message to companies, a lot of tech companies that you don't |
| 1:37.5 | like what they're doing. And you have choices. And it gives you just a tiny bit more power. |
| 1:42.6 | You should absolutely protest. You should absolutely write to your Congress people. |
