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

    Trump Loses the Iran War, Weakens America — as Newsom and Vance Make 2028 Moves
    Jun 16 2026
    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)

    Trump’s Big Iran Announcement Raises More Questions Than Answers (ft. Ian Bremmer)
    Jun 15 2026
    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

    Trump’s Iran Crisis Just Took a Dangerous Turn as Markets Brace for Impact
    Jun 11 2026
    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!

  • Trump Gets Booed at MSG as Republicans Push Extreme Immigration Agenda

    Trump Gets Booed at MSG as Republicans Push Extreme Immigration Agenda
    Jun 9 2026
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov respond to Trump getting loudly booed at the NBA Finals in New York City, before diving into the much bigger political and economic fights shaping the 2026 midterms. A federal judge has blocked Trump’s controversial $100,000 H-1B visa fee, dealing a major blow to one piece of the administration’s broader immigration crackdown. Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to focus voters on affordability heading into the midterms, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries promising economic relief as a top priority if Democrats regain power. But will the Democrats have enough of a substantive plan to really address the needs of working people, and shake their party’s reputation as ineffective? Rather than taking on the cost of living crisis, Republicans appear to be moving in a very different direction. Greg Bovino, Trump’s former commander-at-large of the Border Patrol, is openly considering a 2028 presidential run centered around mass deportations and aggressive nationalist rhetoric. Plus: a lawsuit seeks to block Trump’s planned UFC event on the White House lawn ahead of his 80th birthday. And a Forbes report has revealed that Silicon Valley elites are paying enormous sums not just for escorts, but for companions to discuss AI, crypto, and biohacking with them. What does that say about loneliness, technology, and the wealthy cohort of socially stunted men aiming to shape our future?

  • Trump's “Little Excursion" in Iran Becomes a 100-Day Disaster

    Trump's “Little Excursion" in Iran Becomes a 100-Day Disaster
    Jun 8 2026
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest on the Iran war, 100 days after the start of the conflict, and as Israel and Iran trade attacks. They also react to Trump’s tense appearance on Meet the Press, which saw the President abruptly end the interview and storm off when he was faced with questions about whether there was any evidence for “rigged elections” — after he attempted to downplay the growing instability in the Middle East. Meanwhile, economic anxiety is growing back home as Wall Street reacts to mounting uncertainty in the AI and semiconductor industries. Markets are down amidst growing fears that the AI bubble is getting ready to pop… just as companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX move closer toward potentially massive IPOs. Trump may meet with tech executives to discuss whether the U.S. government should take ownership stakes in strategically important AI companies. Trump says he’s partially aligned with Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has put forward a competing proposal for a public AI wealth fund. Plus: Scott and Jessica talk through the latest scandals and increased scrutiny over presumptive Democratic Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner, whose alleged mistreatment of women he’d dated in the past has raised a new raft of questions about his suitability for office. And finally, some updates in the races for California governor and mayor of Los Angeles — where the latest polls show that insurgent candidate Spencer Pratt has taken a dip.

  • A Rare Republican Break With Trump Raises New Questions

    A Rare Republican Break With Trump Raises New Questions
    Jun 4 2026
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest developments from Congress, as the House advanced a War Powers measure designed to limit Donald Trump’s authority in the region. Most notably, four Republicans broke ranks to support the resolution — raising new questions about whether cracks are finally beginning to emerge inside the GOP. They also unpack the broader political implications of this week’s primary results across Iowa, California, and beyond. Then, they analyze a strange appearance before Congress by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, where some past brawls are remembered. Back in Washington, Trump plans to permanently nominate Todd Blanche as attorney general after Blanche aggressively pursued Trump’s enemies and his agenda while serving as his private personal attorney, and during his time as acting attorney general since Pam Bondi’s departure. Plus: there is controversy surrounding Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s $1.4 billion luxury resort project in Albania. And, a new study finds highly educated American fathers are spending significantly more time on childcare and housework while reducing hours spent at paid jobs — pointing to major shifts in work, family life, and the meaning of masculinity.

  • The Hidden Costs of Trump’s Hollowed-Out Foreign Policy

    The Hidden Costs of Trump’s Hollowed-Out Foreign Policy
    Jun 2 2026
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest developments in the Iran negotiations, after reports emerged that Tehran may be opening “other fronts” in response to alleged ceasefire violations by the U.S. and Israel. President Trump is reportedly growing frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio faces Congress for the first time since the war began. Meanwhile, Trump has named businessman Bill Pulte as the acting Director of National Intelligence,following Tulsi Gabbard’s departure. This comes despite the 38-year-old former chair of federal mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac having no national security experience. Scott and Jessica talk about this as a bellwether for the state of Trumpism and its grip on the country’s institutions. Plus: frustrations with Democratic Party leadership continue bubbling up in Iowa, as the state holds an important primary for its Senate and governor races today. Scott and Jessica also preview how the primaries in California, New Jersey, and Montana might go. Finally, AI company Anthropic preps to go public, and, in the wake of two mass shootings at universities in the state this past April, Florida’s attorney general launches a lawsuit against OpenAI, following allegations that ChatGPT played a role in guiding the perpetrators.
