Summary

In addition to protesting and voting, we have another option hiding in plain sight against this administration: our economic power. Scott says resistance should also include unsubscribing—from one or more streaming platforms, from LLMs, or from ride hailing platforms. Stick it to the CEOs who are enabling Trump and take a piece of hide out of Big Tech, especially Tim Cook’s Apple. There should be an economic downside to supporting ICE. After all, the day Alex Pretti was murdered, Cook was at the White House for a “Melania” screening. Plus, the weak job growth numbers under Trump, the shabby state of our healthcare system, the dangers v. the benefits of AI, the unregulated predictions markets are a breeding ground for bad actors, and young men need to get off their screens, and focus on being healthy, smart, and kind.

Scott Galloway joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Hello and welcome to the Bullwark podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller.

0:15.7

Glad to welcome back to the show, Professor of Marketing at NYU Stern School of Business,

0:19.4

author, including his most recent notes on being a man.

0:37.0

We're going to discuss manhood in a minute. He also hosts three podcasts. Feels like more. The Proff G-Pod, Raging Moderates, and Pivot. That's because it is more. Don't you have another one? Don't you have four? Anyway, it's Scott Galloway. Yeah, I at least track something. To resist is futile.

0:38.4

I'm like AOL in the 90s.

0:40.0

If you stick your hand into a cereal box,

0:40.8

you're going to pull me out.

0:54.2

I'm like AOL in the 90s. If you stick your hand into a cereal box, you're going to pull me out and everywhere. That's kind of a yucky thought. Well, I want to start by talking about the campaign you've been working on. You emailed me the other day. You're working on a unsubscribe campaign. People have been talking about it. Yeah, And just in candor, because we're all about candor here, I replied and I was like,

0:57.4

I'm not so sure about this. So let's just do it. Let's hash it out. But you tell me what the case is for it, and then we can hash it out a little bit. Well, I think a lot of us feel frustrated and want to do something action absorbs anxiety and what i think i wanted or the objective is to just signal

1:13.9

send a signal to people frustrated and want to do something, action absorbs anxiety. And what I think I wanted, or the

1:12.4

objective is to just send a signal to people that there's a weapon hiding in plain sight.

1:17.8

And that is your economic power, or specifically the most radical act of activism in a capitalist

1:23.6

society is not participation. And if you just, for example, unsubscribe from a paid

1:28.6

version of chat GPT, because they're raising money at 40 times revenues, you're literally denting

1:33.8

that company's valuation by $10,000 by just using the free option. And if you look at 40% of the

1:39.2

S&P is 10 companies, and those 10 companies are highly sensitive to their growth or slow down in their

1:44.4

growth of their subscription revenues. And you look at when the president has walked back his plans

1:49.7

to annex Greenland or tariffs, it's been with one catalyst, and that is when the bond market

1:54.9

or the stock market falls. And I think that the people he listens to and the people he keeps

1:58.8

trotting out and hoaring around,

2:01.0

I think if they start seeing a downside economically to continue to provide infrastructure and

2:05.7

support for ICE and this president, I think that is the kill shot. I think that's the string
