  Trump Pauses Iran Strikes as Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon Comes Under Fire 27.07.2026 56p

  Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week with the latest news on Iran: U.S. strikes are on hold, with Trump pausing major escalation amid growing concerns from advisors about diminished air defense munitions stockpiles in the Middle East. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz addressed the stockpile issue publicly this week, blaming it on former President Biden. Meanwhile, a separate and deeply troubling story: the Pentagon has quietly lowered its official count of U.S. troops killed in the Iran war on its website. Scott and Jessica break down what to make of that. Also under scrutiny: new reporting reveals that Hegseth's pick to lead the Navy, Admiral Daryl Caudle, was previously the subject of an inspector general investigation — and was represented by an attorney who is currently a special adviser to Hegseth himself. What toll will this culture of corruption wreak on the future of the U.S. military? With less than 100 days until the midterms, Scott and Jessica take stock of where Democrats stand. In Maine, Troy Jackson is now the official Senate nominee, and leads Kalshi markets at 62% to win the seat. But nationally, the DNC is facing ongoing concerns about a cash shortage — even as individuals like Hakeem Jeffries and John Ossoff are raising significant sums. Republicans have circulated a new version of a major cryptocurrency bill — the CLARITY Act — but the sticking point is the ethics clause. The Trump family has made over $2.3 billion through crypto ventures since the start of the second term, and Senate Democrats want a provision addressing that conflict of interest. Will it pass?  Finally, the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner was held Friday and Trump used the occasion to go after CNN's Kaitlan Collins. Should this event get cancelled?

  Fox News Poll Shows Democrats Leading In the Midterms — Republicans Should Be Very Worried 23.07.2026 43p

  Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the news, starting with the Trump administration's newly announced peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia. They talk about the biggest risks and concerns, how the optics play against the backdrop of the U.S. campaign against Iran, and what it means that Yemen's Houthis have now attacked two Saudi tankers — opening yet another front in an already sprawling conflict. Meanwhile, the House has adopted a $95 billion budget, funding the Iran war while providing money to encourage states to adopt new voting restrictions. The House and Senate still need to agree on a unified resolution before moving to a filibuster-proof reconciliation bill, and the proposal faces much more potential opposition in the Senate. Trump rallied in Georgia last night, targeting Sen. Jon Ossoff and warning of a Democratic “radical left” takeover. Meanwhile, a new Fox News poll shows Democrats leading 59-41 in counties where the 2024 presidential election was close. Scott and Jessica dive into the numbers and ask: are Republicans worried about the depth of the Democratic bench? Plus, the Trump administration is moving to dramatically scale back federal teen pregnancy prevention efforts. Why?  And, Scott has been appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom to serve on the University of California Board of Regents. What will his first order of business be?

  Trump’s Trying to Squeeze Canada on Trade AGAIN. Here’s Why it Will Backfire 21.07.2026 47p

  Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down a packed Tuesday — and then are joined by Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) for a wide-ranging conversation on the midterms, the Democratic Party's future, and whether he's running for president. But first: in a scramble to keep tariff revenue alive, Trump signed orders imposing 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods including wine, cement, and hockey sticks. Scott and Jessica ask why the administration keeps jumping through hoops to impose tariffs, and why Canada — one of America's closest allies — is again the target. Andy Burnham is officially Britain's seventh prime minister in a decade. In his first cabinet meeting, he declared his government would be a "cost of living government," with GDP projected to grow just 0.8% this year. Is this change in leadership good for Britain? Then, Sen. Kelly joins the show on primary day in Arizona — 105 days out from the midterm elections. He breaks down what Trump-endorsed Republicans are running on in his state, and what tonight's results might signal nationally. Kelly has new bipartisan legislation aimed at getting more men into education as teachers, mentors, and volunteers — and makes the case that Democrats need to spend more time on legislation like this rather than national political fights.  He also discusses his role as one of the Democrats’ top fundraisers, having raised roughly $25 million and contributed about $10 million to other candidates. Does this signal a presidential run in his future? What would his campaign be about, and how would his wife — former Rep. Gabby Giffords — feel about being in the White House?

  Does AOC Have the RIZZ that Trump Used to Build MAGA? 20.07.2026 49p

  Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week by talking about the latest in the still-ongoing conflict with Iran. Over the weekend, a third U.S. service member was killed in the latest strikes — which are affecting many U.S. allies in the region. Is the U.S. is being pulled deeper into a conflict with no visible endgame? New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is exploring whether he has the authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the U.N. General Assembly this fall, citing the International Criminal Court’s warrant against him, charging him with war crimes.  Meanwhile, AOC is sounding a lot more like Barack Obama on the campaign trail, at a rally for Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed in Michigan. By shifting from strictly the language of economic populism to a broader message of hope, change, and taking on the political establishment… is this a sign she's laying the groundwork for a 2028 run? Maine Democrats have a new Senate nominee: progressive former state Senate president Troy Jackson will take on Republican Senator Susan Collins in one of the year's biggest battleground races. Kalshi currently has Democrats at 66% to win the seat, and Jackson specifically at 65% to be the one who wins it.  And finally: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is a box office hit — but it's also a culture war flashpoint. What exactly is MAGA mad about this time?

  Trump's Primetime Address, Israel Aid Revolt, and the World Cup's Final Chapter 16.07.2026 50p

  Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov preview President Trump’s primetime address tonight, expected to cover Iran, election integrity, and what one advisor is calling a "potpourri" of topics. Trump himself is promising "really big news."  In a major shift on Capitol Hill, over 100 House Democrats voted to end U.S. aid to Israel via an amendment to a State Department funding bill. The measure was defeated 314-104, but the vote — backed by Nancy Pelosi — sends an unmistakable signal about where the Democratic Party is heading on Israel. What's behind the shift, and what does it mean for the midterms? Day two of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing features outside witnesses including Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky. Meanwhile, Rep. Thomas Massie and a bipartisan group of Democrats have introduced new legislation, the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, to hold the DOJ accountable for its handling of the case — and JD Vance was caught admitting the quiet part out loud on Joe Rogan. Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announces testosterone screenings and replacement therapy for military members; New York becomes the first state to ban new hyperscale data center construction; and the cyclosporiasis parasite outbreak has now reached more than 30 states with thousands of cases and dozens of hospitalizations. What is RFK doing about it? Finally: how will this World Cup tournament be remembered — and can America hold onto its halo effect just a little longer?

  The Hormuz Blockade is BACK — Here’s What Trump Wants 14.07.2026 48p

  Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov talk about what it means for the Iran war to be back on: Trump has formally notified Congress that fighting has resumed and the U.S. is reinstating a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. What happens next? Will Trump go through with a plan to impose a 20% fee on ships passing through the waterway, or will he back off the toll plan — as he seemed to indicate, later in the day, that he would? Protesters surrounded Senator Susan Collins' office following the fatal ICE shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine — a man who was not the target of the agents' arrest warrant, and whose three-year-old daughter was reportedly in the car at the time he was killed.  Scott and Jessica talk about the implications of ICE’s unconstitutional tactics, and what they signal more broadly about the damage being done to the relationship between the American people and their government.

  Weekend at Bernie's in the Senate? Graham & McConnell Prove We Need Term Limits 13.07.2026 45p

  Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week reflecting on the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died Saturday night following what his office described as a brief and sudden illness. They talk about what he will be most remembered for — and how some of his most consequential hypocrisies could be seen to undermine the legacy of a life devoted to public service.  And, what does Graham’s death mean for a Republican Party already navigating serious uncertainty around Mitch McConnell? Scott and Jessica discuss McConnell’s mysterious health situation — which led his office to release a “proof of life” photograph on Sunday of the Senator and his wife in a hospital. Democrats meanwhile have their own Senate crisis. Graham Platner has now formally submitted his paperwork to withdraw from the Maine race following sexual assault allegations. The Maine Democratic Party will hold a convention on July 25th to select his replacement. Will Platner’s base get behind the process? And, will whoever the Democrats nominate to replace him have a chance against many-term Republican incumbent Susan Collins?

  What Platner’s Exit Means for the Future of the Democratic Party (ft. Brian Tyler Cohen) 09.07.2026 48p

  Jessica Tarlov is joined by Brian Tyler Cohen, host of No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen, and author of the new book The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World. They start with Graham Platner, who is bowing out of the Maine Senate race following a sexual assault allegation after a scandal-ridden campaign. In his exit video, Platner blamed the Democratic political establishment for taking the nomination away from him. How does the Democratic Party move forward in Maine to field a new candidate?  The U.S. and Iran have renewed aggression, trading strikes for a second consecutive night, with Trump declaring the three-week-old ceasefire officially "over." Jessica and Biran break down what this means for the administration’s foreign policy, and how recent reactions to spiking oil prices reveal some Republican Party hypocrisies.  Then, they discuss the resurgence of ICE operations, which led to the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national with four young U.S. citizen children. Does this mean we are heading toward another escalation of enforcement violence like what was seen in Minneapolis?  Then, Jessica talks with Brian about his new book, The Day After, and his ideas for the future of the Democratic party. What should “Project 2029” look like? Which parts of the government that Trump has dismantled are the most underappreciated — and where are there opportunities to build something better?  Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov For ad-free episodes, exclusive livestreams, and to connect with Scott, Jessica, and the Raging Moderates community, join us at ProfG+ on Substack: https://ragingmoderates.profgmedia.com/ Get The Monday Rage newsletter: https://profgmedia.com/s/monday-rage/ Follow Raging Moderates on IG, Tiktok, and Facebook: https://www.instagram.com/ragingmoderatespod/ https://www.tiktok.com/@ragingmoderates https://www.facebook.com/ragingmoderates Follow Jessica Tarlov on Instagram, Substack, and Bluesky: https://instagram.com/jessicatarlov https://substack.com/@jessietarlov https://bsky.app/profile/jessicatarlov.bsky.social Follow Scott on Instagram, Substack, and Bluesky: https://instagram.com/profgalloway https://substack.com/@profgalloway https://bsky.app/profile/profgalloway.com Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RagingModerates Learn more about your ad choices.

  Platner Bombshell Throws Democrats Into Chaos 07.07.2026 50p

  How can progressives govern effectively in a post-Trump America? Join Jessica Tarlov in conversation with Brian Tyler Cohen on Thursday, 7/9 at 11:45AM. Sign up here: links.profgmedia.com/btclive Jessica Tarlov is joined by The Bulwark’s Sam Stein, and they start in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has announced he is taking time to reflect after a rape allegation went public. They discuss the logistics of possibly replacing the scandal-ridden Platner on the ballot — and mention a few possible candidates — while also asking the important question: how could the party vetting process have failed so miserably? Plus: what is the condition of former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been hospitalized for weeks, with minimal information? Will there be a special election for his seat — and will the recently-primaried Kentuckyan Thomas Massie take an interest? And in Michigan, Mallory McMorrow has dropped out of the Senate race, leaving moderate Haley Stevens — backed by Chuck Schumer — facing off against progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed — backed by Bernie Sanders and AOC — in the Democratic primary. Rahm Emanuel is visiting Israel this week and pre-released his speech, signaling shifting sentiment on Israel within the Democratic Party. And finally: Did Trump’s brazen act of intervention with FIFA president Gianni Infantino to overturn a striker’s suspension wind up cursing the U.S. men’s soccer team?

  Trump's Election Plot Gets More Dangerous as His World Cup Intervention Leaves Everyone Stunned 07.07.2026 46p

  Jessica Tarlov is joined by Marc Elias, America's foremost election attorney and founder of Democracy Docket, to talk about the recent Supreme Court term, Trump’s efforts at voter suppression, the throughline of corruption in the administration, and more.  First, they discuss Trump's rain-delayed America 250th speech, which he delivered late Saturday night in D.C., after severe thunderstorms forced crowds to shelter in nearby federal buildings. Trump used the moment to push for the passage of the SAVE America Act, a bill he claims would end election fraud — and, saying the quiet part out loud, deliver Republicans 100 years of victories. Marc breaks down what the bill actually does, and why Trump is still pushing it hard enough to torpedo the housing bill in its favor. Then, Marc reflects on two Supreme Court cases that he helped litigate — he scored a significant victory in Watson v. RNC — a case to determine the legality of certain mail-in ballots. But the Court’s ruling in NRSC v. FEC, which struck down coordination limits between political parties and campaigns, is a major blow. Why did this Supreme Court so readily overturn precedent in this case? Marc gives his thoughts about potential reforms needed to safeguard the legitimacy of the Supreme Court as an institution. And, the confusion about the health of Senator Mitch McConnell, coming so soon after the monthslong disappearance (and sudden reemergence) of Rep. Thomas Kean, leads Jessica and Marc to talk about how to better “keep track” of members of Congress. Finally, Trump claims he personally lobbied FIFA president Gianni Infantino to intervene in the automatic red card suspension for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, clearing him to play against Belgium in today's World Cup last-16 match. What is the appropriate patriotic response to this intervention?

  After 250 Years, Trump is Killing the American Dream 02.07.2026 49p

  Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to ragingmoderates@profgmedia.com. We may feature yours on the show! Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov celebrate America's 250th birthday… but the mood is complicated. The U.S. economy added just 57,000 jobs in June while inflation continues to outpace wages, and July 4th revelers on the National Mall are facing 100-degree heat with coolers and folding chairs banned.  Despite a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling striking down his executive order on birthright citizenship, Trump is already calling on Congress to finish what the Court wouldn't let him start. Meanwhile, MAGA voices seem dedicated to finding obscure ways to implement the anti-immigrant plan anyway, with VP Vance calling the SCOTUS decision "preposterous."  Trump also announced that he will not be renewing the USMCA trade pact, the very deal he signed with Canada and Mexico in 2018. What does scrapping it mean for North American trade stability, and what does it tell us about how Trump thinks about his own legacy? Meanwhile, OpenAI is reportedly proposing that the U.S. government take a 5% stake in in the company, which has recently delayed its plans to IPO, while Palantir CEO Alex Karp is publicly arguing that the expensive frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic are already becoming too expensive for many companies using them. Plus, in honor of America's birthday and Canadian patriotism — which is apparently surging, thanks to Trump — we wish you all a belated Happy Canada Day!

  Trump Loses on Birthright Citizenship as America’s 250th Celebrations Flop 30.06.2026 51p

  Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to ragingmoderates@profgmedia.com. We may feature yours on the show! Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the Supreme Court's final decision day of the term, including the long-awaited ruling on Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, plus decisions on transgender athletes and campaign finance coordination limits between parties and campaigns. Then, they head west: Colorado's state Supreme Court just struck down a set of Democratic-backed ballot initiatives that would have paused the state's independent redistricting commission. Today, Colorado holds primaries where several Democratic incumbents face challenges from their left flank, echoing the dynamics seen in New York's recent primary. Jess and Scott also check in on the current status of Democrats across the country in this year’s midterms.  Plus, thoughts on America's 250th birthday week, the sparsely attended “Great American State Fair” celebration so far, and reports that the White House may issue 250 pardons to mark the occasion. And finally, Scott and Jessica talk about the biggest and most urgent foreign policy story of the day: the World Cup. Will Team Sweden triumph over the French? Scott lays it all on the line.

  Why Mamdani’s Socialist Wing Has Democrats Spooked as SCOTUS Expands Trump’s Power 30.06.2026 1ó 1p

  Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to ragingmoderates@profgmedia.com. We may feature yours on the show! Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the latest escalation in Iran, and whether the Trump administration still has a coherent strategy in the Middle East with a ceasefire that is rapidly breaking down.  Next, they unpack the major decisions coming out of the Supreme Court, including cases around mail-in ballots, the Temporary Protection Status of over 300,000 Haitians, and two opinions that further expand Trump’s authority to dismiss federal regulators (not including the Federal Reserve board of governors, apparently). Plus, Scott and Jessica talk about Zohran Mamdani’s meteoric rise in the Democratic party, and his latest political win — a rent freeze for the rent-controlled apartments in New York City. What can we learn from the success of three DSA-affiliated and Mamdani-backed candidates in Congressional primaries? With antisemitism on the rise, and Democratic lawmakers facing threats and public confrontations, is Zohran’s politics putting more fuel on the fire?  And, Scott and Jessica reflect on the career of Bill Maher, who received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

  What Trump Really Thinks About His Legacy (ft. Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman) 25.06.2026 42p

  Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to ragingmoderates@profgmedia.com. We may feature yours on the show! Jessica Tarlov is joined by reporters Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman, authors of the brand new explosive book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. They talk about what it is really like inside the Trump White House, the unprecedented ways in which Trump wields presidential power, and how their monumental yearslong investigative reporting effort led to this exposé full of shocking, never-before-reported stories. They begin with Jonathan and Maggie’s reporting on the start of the Iran war, and the unbelievable confrontation that took place in the White House Situation Room that immediately splintered Trump’s cabinet. They dive into the Epstein saga, and what the administration’s crisis management meetings were like behind the scenes — including the abandoned effort by the DOJ to release their own Epstein files database. That never made it out into the world, due to some of the contents being about Trump himself.Plus: Jonathan Maggie talk about how they determined who and what to believe when members of the administration started turning on each other. How loyal are his supposedly loyal aides? Will Trump really leave office in 2029, or is he building a fortified bunker underneath the new ballroom? And, given the changing role of print journalism in the age of TikTok and political influencers, what will the media landscape — and politics in America — even look like… post-Trump?

  Did Trump Ruin the American Experiment? (ft. Sharon McMahon) 23.06.2026 49p

  Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov Jessica Tarlov is joined by America’s government teacher Sharon McMahon (https://instagram.com/sharonsaysso) — author of We Are Mighty and the woman behind the The Preamble on Substack— for a check-in on the American experiment. First, the Trump administration says progress is being made in negotiations with Iran, but Tehran is already pushing back on key claims made by Vice President JD Vance. After tensions flared again in the Strait of Hormuz, questions persist about whether the Trump administration secured a lasting agreement, or simply handed Iran new leverage. Jessica and Sharon also discuss Zohran Mamdani's growing influence in New York politics, and the rise of democratic socialist candidates in major cities across America. In one Congressional race, Mayor Mamdani detached himself from the allies of Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and from longtime incumbents, to endorse a controversial candidate whose past views have come under fire. Will this widen the divide within the Democratic Party? Plus: explosive new reporting has exposed former DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s affiliation with a strange religious group — which many former members have called a cult. Sharon and Jessica talk about the insidious influence of religious groups on our elected officials — such as the overt Christian nationalism of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Finally, they discuss what America's 250th birthday celebration should really represent, and why Sharon believes that in order to come back from Trump, we all must decide that the era of "not knowing" is over.

  Why JD Vance Became the Face of Trump’s Iran Surrender 22.06.2026 46p

  Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the latest updates in the negotiations between Iran and the United States, with Vice President JD Vance at the helm. After Iran once again threatened to close off shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and President Trump responded with threats of renewed military action, Vance says Tehran has agreed to allow nuclear inspectors into the country. Is this a genuine breakthrough — or just another fragile pause in a conflict that refuses to end? They also discuss the resignation of Keir Starmer, Britain’s Labour prime minister, which came auspiciously at the ten-year anniversary of the Brexit referendum. Then, Jessica and Scott discuss the revelations and questions surrounding Senator Ruben Gallego, who is alleged to have used PAC funds for personal use. And, as the Obama Presidential Center opens in Chicago to great ceremony, Scott and Jessica offer their reflections on Barack Obama’s legacy, Michelle Obama’s skills as an orator, and Scott reveals who’s on his fantasy “future spouse” shortlist.

  Trump Signs Iran “Deal” — and GOP Hawks Absolutely Hate It 18.06.2026 42p

  Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway dive into the newly released details about the “memorandum of understanding” that President Trump has signed with Iran, purportedly ending the monthslong conflict, and launching a new chapter in U.S.-Iran relations. The agreement includes at least $300 billion in funding for Iran's reconstruction and economic development, a reopening of trade and shipping routes, and a framework for future negotiations. But major questions remain. The deal does not address Iran's ballistic missile program, its conventional military forces, or the broader regional tensions involving Israel and Hezbollah. Scott and Jessica break down what's actually in the deal, why Iran ultimately agreed to it, what it means for Israel and America's allies, and whether this will be a lasting peace or simply a temporary pause in the fighting. Plus: new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's first major policy meeting took place, with some noteworthy differences from his predecessor Jerome Powell. Are interest rate hikes still on the table?  And finally, both Scott and Jessica have a case of World Cup fever. They talk about reporting that fans of Scotland have taken over Boston and depleted some of the city’s most important natural resources.

  Trump Loses the Iran War, Weakens America — as Newsom and Vance Make 2028 Moves 16.06.2026 48p

  Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest developments and revelations about the Iran deal, as Tehran publicly confirms key details, sending Iran hawks spiraling. The agreement would end military operations, reopen critical trade routes, and lift the naval blockade. But there are major absences when it comes to controlling Iran’s nuclear development and enrichment programs — which was a principal justification for the war in the first place. Also, given that the deal reportedly both ends U.S. sanctions and pledges hundreds of billions of dollars toward rebuilding Iran… is this an even WORSE deal than Obama’s JCPOA, which Trump often calls “terrible”? Plus, California Governor Gavin Newsom, one of the leading Democratic contenders for 2028, publicly announced that both he and his wife are under investigation by Trump’s DOJ. According to Newsom, he and his family have been visited by federal investigators, who he claims are searching for a crime. Also: Vice President JD Vance continues to try and shape his post-Trump identity, as he kicks off a media tour publicizing his new book about his faith journey as a convert to Catholicism. And, the United Kingdom moves closer to banning social media for children under 16. Is this a good move — or are the problems facing young people today far bigger than just the algorithms?

  Trump’s Big Iran Announcement Raises More Questions Than Answers (ft. Ian Bremmer) 15.06.2026 50p

  Get your ticket for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov After more than 100 days of war, President Trump says the U.S. and Iran have reached a ceasefire agreement. But major questions remain unanswered. Iran has yet to fully confirm the deal, the future of Tehran’s nuclear program is unresolved, and regional tensions involving Israel and Hezbollah are still simmering. In fact, Trump says the full text of the agreement won’t be released until Friday. Scott Galloway, Jessica Tarlov, and special guest Ian Bremmer break down what the next 60 days could look like. They discuss whether this agreement has any realistic chance of holding, and who stands to benefit politically if negotiations succeed — or collapse. They also discuss what Trump’s announcement means heading into the G7 summit in France, and why the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important pressure points in the global economy. Plus: Trump celebrates his 80th birthday by hosting a UFC event on the White House lawn, which is not a sentence that would have made any sense even a very short time ago in America’s 250-year history. Jessica and Scott discuss the cultural significance of this event — and a shocking remark made by one of the participants. When looked at alongside the recent allegations against Graham Platner — the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine — what does this spectacle say about Democrats’ and Republicans’ divergent views of masculinity?

  Trump’s Iran Crisis Just Took a Dangerous Turn as Markets Brace for Impact 11.06.2026 41p

  In the wake of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, which saw the New York Knicks mount the largest comeback in Finals history to win the game, Jessica Tarlov gives Scott Galloway an update on Knicks fever from the streets of New York City. Then, Scott and Jessica talk about how the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is showing signs of collapse after yet another round of attacks. President Trump is now threatening to hit Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT.”  At the same time, Americans are feeling the economic impact at home. Inflation rose 4.2% in May — the highest monthly increase in three years — and that’s on top of gas prices and summer travel costs surging as the Iran conflict drags on.  Scott and Jessica also discuss what is poised to be the biggest IPO in history as SpaceX prepares to go public — potentially creating thousands of new millionaires overnight. But is this IPO actually just a way to leave retail investors holding the bag? Plus: Bill Gates testifies about Jeffrey Epstein before Congress — but behind closed doors —  as new reporting reveals the panic over the Epstein files release inside Trump’s White House, and the pressures the administration felt from the MAGA base. The Trump administration also proposes new restrictions tied to mail-in voting and the U.S. Postal Service, setting up another massive legal and political fight ahead of the midterms. Finally, they discuss the World Cup — which begins this week at venues across North America, including in the U.S., where tensions have already arisen between the many international visitors to the country, and the Trump administration’s hardline approach to foreigners. Will the U.S. do a worse job than Russia did? KNICKS IN FIVE!
