'These Arrogant Little Pr*cks!' Kara Swisher And Scott Galloway Demand DOGE Workers Be Arrested For 'Coup'

[Mr. Sparkle]

Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway slammed members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and called on Democrats to “hold them accountable” for what was described as a “coup.” During a Friday episode of their Pivot Podcast, Swisher and Galloway discussed Musk’s recent efforts to upend the federal workforce by having members of DOGE shrink the government through massive layoffs.

The pair also touched on DOGE’s access to Treasury payment systems. Galloway demanded that Democratic governors “use the full faith and to the letter of the law” to put DOGE workers under Musk in prison. Swisher agreed with her co-host before adding that the DOGE workers are “arrogant little pricks.” Galloway described Musk’s ongoing work with DOGE as a “coup” in the following exchange:

GALLOWAY: I want to know who their names are. And I want to see a Democratic governor saying I’m going to do everything I can in my power to use the full faith and to the letter of the law to put you folks in prison. I think what you’re doing is trespassing. I think this is a coup. And be clear, just because the new insurrectionist who was elected, you know, I don’t believe this is legal and I’m going to hold the people accountable who are trespassing and a part of a coup, accountable it to just sit back and say, this is horrible and this is unlawful. We need to go gangster here and say, look, we are not negotiating around this stuff. This is illegal. This is a coup. This is the unlawful seizure of power. We are not going to engage in these bullshit, ridiculous arguments over, you know, Gaza and Greenland. We are going to hold the people accountable. Here are their names. Here are their faces. And we have contacted the local authorities in where these kids live, these young adults, and we are going to hold them accountable.

SWISHER: And the question is, a lot of them are like, what do we do — they’re literally asking me, what do we do to stop him? I was like, I just I was like, you don’t you actually don’t have the means to do so because these poor people are in these agencies. And when these idiots come in, these children, these arrogant little pricks come in and say, we’re going to call the federal marshals, or the president has ordered you to step aside. They kind of have to you know, you have to be resistant and be be walked out by security. And then security doesn’t know which one to listen to.

GALLOWAY: Essentially, I’d like to see all or whatever it is, 48 or 49 U.S. senators and any Republicans who want to join. I’d like to see a couple of hundred members of Congress go to the fucking building where this is and demand to go in and physically stop this and let them arrest you.

2. That was an hour long and it was excellent.

But it will be only be seen by a few people. That's why there has to be some kind of huge effort to develop some kind of communication strategy. A moonshot level of effort and focus to expand the reach of these rational discussions. We just haven't figured that out yet.

3. When judges are hearing evidence in these cases

if there is sufficient evidence of illegal acts presented, arrest warrants should be issued.

4. What they said upset Elon. I loved software engineer Grady Booch's response to him:
