Summary
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down a week defined by confusion, escalation, and political loyalty tests. As mixed messages pour out of Washington and Tehran, Trump threatens further action against Iran even as officials insist tensions are cooling — leaving allies, markets, and the world searching for clarity. Back at home, a judge has unsealed what a former cellmate has alleged is Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide note. Its release comes at a time when Secretary Howard Lutnick is giving closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee on his ties to Epstein. All this is enough to reignite Epstein scrutiny around Trump allies. Meanwhile, in the ongoing redistricting wars, the Republican voters in Indiana sent a stark warning to anyone willing to cross Trump ahead of 2026. Scott and Jessica unpack the significance of last night’s election. The duo also speak on the FBI raid involving Virginia power broker and state senator Louise Lucas, Marco Rubio’s Vatican cleanup mission, and Barack Obama’s sharp appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where the former president warned Democrats to stop sounding like they’re in a “college seminar.” Plus: remembering Ted Turner and the media legacy that changed American politics forever.
