• Trump's "Forgettable" State of the Union
    2026/02/25
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Trump’s marathon State of the Union — the longest in history — and the alternate reality he painted of a “golden age” America, even as most voters say the country is on the wrong track. They dig into the speech’s biggest moments: the attacks on Democrats, the swipe at the Supreme Court over tariffs, and Trump’s mixed message on Iran — diplomacy, but with the door wide open to military action. Did the speech help him? And are we actually edging toward war? Then, the Democratic split screen. From Abigail Spanberger’s affordability-focused rebuttal to protests inside and outside the chamber — the party showed unity in opposition to Trump, but real divisions on strategy heading into the midterms. Finally, the Pentagon’s escalating clash with AI firm Anthropic. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is threatening to invoke the Defense Production Act unless the company lifts restrictions on how its models can be used by the military.

  • How Democrats Take On the ‘Epstein Class’ (ft. Nancy Pelosi)
    2026/02/20
    Jessica Tarlov sits down with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi to discuss Trump’s corruption, safeguarding the election, rising tensions with Iran, and Congress’s constitutional role before any potential military strike. Fresh off the Munich Security Conference, Pelosi reflects on NATO, human rights, and America’s standing with its allies. They also examine the arrest of Prince Andrew and the fallout from the Epstein files, debating whether Democrats should target the “Epstein class” or keep their focus on affordability and immigration. From redistricting battles and fears of election denialism 2.0 to shutdown brinkmanship over ICE reforms and unfinished business on healthcare costs, Pelosi weighs in on the strategy ahead — plus her most iconic moments and whether she’ll attend her final State of the Union.

  • Censoring Stephen Colbert Backfires
    2026/02/18
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down how censoring Colbert backfired on CBS — after Texas state Rep. James Talarico’s scheduled appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was abruptly pulled off the air. Is this corporate media caving to Trump-era pressure — and is Paramount the real loser? Then: the DOJ says it’s done releasing the Epstein files — but reports suggest the public has seen just 2% of them. If that’s true, who’s still exposed, and why is the department claiming mission accomplished? Plus: a DHS funding showdown is underway in Congress. With ICE funding already secured, and public trust in government near historic lows, which party blinks first? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Immigration Enforcement Ends in Minneapolis — Now What?
    2026/02/13
    Immigration enforcement suddenly halts in Minneapolis as Democrats push to disrupt ICE funding and shut down DHS unless major reforms happen. At the same time, Pam Bondi’s House hearing turns into a four-hour Epstein showdown — with survivors in the room and Democrats accusing the DOJ of stonewalling. Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down whether Bondi just handed the opposition a powerful midterm talking point. Cracks are also forming inside the GOP. House Republicans defy Trump on tariffs, triggering primary threats and raising a bigger question: is the party truly starting to break ranks — or is this just symbolic rebellion? And with 130,000 jobs added in January and unemployment ticking down to 4.3%, is the labor market shaking off the trade war drama? Plus: RFK Jr.’s pivot from vaccines skepticism to “healthy eating,” Pelosi’s endorsement of Jack Schlossberg, Prince Andrew’s reported settlement money, and an Olympic controversy that has everyone talking.

  • Trump’s Sparking Culture War Fights to Bury the Epstein Scandal
    2026/02/11
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov explore a weekend that showcased two very different Americas: Bad Bunny celebrated unity across the continent, while Donald Trump leaned into culture wars, attacking an Olympic skier for expressing mixed feelings about representing the U.S. and amplifying a racist video of the Obamas. At the same time, Congress is reviewing Epstein files, Ghislaine Maxwell is publicly hinting at clemency deals, and Trump’s allies are facing political scrutiny. They also break down Trump’s economic message ahead of the midterms — from AI-driven growth claims to foreign investment promises — and whether everyday Americans are actually seeing the benefits. Plus, they tackle the skyrocketing cost of NYC private schools, now topping $70,000 a year at elite institutions, and what it means for families navigating a struggling public system.

  • Confronting the Ethical Vacuum Exposed by Trump and Epstein
    2026/02/04
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Trump’s signature move: flooding the zone. From a massive Epstein document dump that swallows the news cycle, to Trump inserting himself into active investigations and openly pushing to “nationalize” voting, the noise is the point. Then, they zoom out to Trump’s broader project — remaking Washington in his own image, from cultural institutions to public monuments — and ask whether it’s ideology, ego, or legacy-building. Finally, they look at a very different kind of power: Bad Bunny’s moment, celebrity resistance to Trump’s immigration crackdown, and whether culture can still move politics when politics feels overwhelming.

  • Trump Administration Still Avoiding Accountability for Minneapolis
    2026/01/30
    Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down the GOP fallout after fueling MAGA infighting, fresh impeachment buzz around Kristi Noem, and a high-stakes gamble on Tom Homan to placate Democrats. Then they turn to the rollout of “Trump Accounts,” a government-backed investment plan for kids that’s already drawing skepticism over the math, the branding, and who really stands to gain. Plus, the DOJ seizes voter records in Georgia as Trump once again relitigates 2020, while scrutiny intensifies around his health following an Oval Office interview.
