Scott Galloway predicted that Tucker Carlson is the most likely Republican to win the GOP presidential nomination in 2028, while offering some kind words for Carlson’s take on the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Galloway, a marketing professor and entrepreneur turned media personality, made the comments on the latest episode of his Pivot podcast, alongside co-host Kara Swisher.
Swisher and Galloway were discussing the decline of television in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension from ABC when the conversation turned to podcasters.
“I think, look, we got to just burn those ships and move on. That’s the thing, because this is how Trump lives. He lives in the 80s in his head, so CBS, ABC, and NBC are the be-all and end-all,” Swisher argued.
“But they’re not. They’re not influential anymore. We should just move along and make our stuff. We should grow and conservative outlets should grow, whatever it happens to be. I was, although I think Tucker Carlson’s really– something’s going on with him. When he’s articulated, it was absolutely right,” Swisher added.
“We both have our issues with Tucker. I think Tucker right now is the most likely nominee for the Republican nomination. I think he has been very good lately,” Galloway replied.
“Well, he’s consistent at least,” Swisher agreed.
“About housing, for young people, he comes across as intellectually honest. He comes across as courageous, not afraid to go against his own party. And I realize I’m talking our own book here,” Galloway continued, adding:
Our downloads are up 10 percent in the last 30 days. And guess what? Everyone from Megyn Kelly to Joe Rogan, you’re going to see a lot, increasingly people turn to podcasts like The Daily, because The New York Times is fearless and does the work.
You’re just going to see media that is not scared of Brendan Carr, or can’t be controlled by Brendan Carr. Boom, because people are really interested in what’s going on, and they like fearless. You know, I’ll give you an example, Don Lemon.
“Don Lemon’s doing a great job,” Swisher agreed.
“Don Lemon is doing such a fantastic job. First off, I love people who just work really f***ing hard,” Galloway replied as Swisher added, “He’s out in the back. People don’t know, explain what he’s doing. I love this.”
“He’s a man on the street. He’s totally unafraid. He shows up to everyone with a mic,” Galloway said, adding:
He responds thoughtfully. He’s forcefully yet dignified. He’s clearly working his f***ing ass off.
The reason I love Don Lemon is the same reason I love Secretary Clinton or Senator Klobuchar. It is just so obvious these people work their asses off. They get up early and they think, how can I be great at what I do by just showing up over and over and over.
Don Lemon must be working 14 f***ing hours a day.
