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!
