President Trump claims “real progress” is being made toward a deal, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insists the U.S. is “closer than ever to winning”— even as Iran maintains the ability to strike back. Gas prices are climbing, supply chains are tightening, and the Magnificent 7 tech giants are taking a hit. Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the chaos: Is Trump steering the country toward peace — or pushing the U.S. further into disaster? How high could energy prices go if the conflict drags on? And, at what point do the costs of war start outweighing the public's patience? Scott and Jessica also explore the economic fallout, the political pressure mounting at home, and what the future could hold if Trump’s Iran strategy collapses. And finally, Scott congratulates Jessica on her recent significant achievement: living rent-free in the president's head.

  • She Broke the Epstein Case — Now She Says Something Doesn’t Add Up (ft. Julie K. Brown)

    She Broke the Epstein Case — Now She Says Something Doesn’t Add Up (ft. Julie K. Brown)
    Mar 30 2026
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov sit down with investigative reporter Julie K. Brown, the journalist whose groundbreaking work helped expose Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and reignite the case against him. They dig into what it was like chasing the story when no one else would, where the case stands today, and why so many questions still remain — from missing documents to the controversy surrounding Epstein’s death. They also unpack the idea of an “Epstein class,” the role of powerful institutions, and whether real accountability is actually slowly happening — or quietly slipping away. Plus, Julie shares what it means to see her reporting adapted for TV, with Laura Dern set to portray her in the upcoming series based on her book Perversion of Justice.

  • Are We Still Fighting the "Axis of Evil" in Iran? (ft. David Frum)

    Are We Still Fighting the "Axis of Evil" in Iran? (ft. David Frum)
    Mar 27 2026
    As more and more U.S. military members are shipping to the region, is Trump trying to bluff his way into a full-blown ground invasion of Iran? Jessica Tarlov is joined by David Frum to discuss. They talk about the danger of Trump’s particular brand of “messianism,” along with an administration staffed with “fanatics and crooks.” Frum, who was a speechwriter for President George W. Bush, recalls the post-9/11 “axis of evil” speech — which included the Iranian regime even 24 years ago. They discuss the role of JD Vance, who is both signaling his alleged skepticism about the war in Iran, and being identified as a possible negotiator with the regime there. Then, they discuss Trump’s morality and egoism, how it has infected every aspect of his presidency – including this war. Finally, David and Jessica talk about the surprising news that the Treasury intends to issue paper currency featuring Trump’s signature — which would end a 165-year tradition in the U.S. of no president’s signature appearing on legal tender.
