Jessica Tarlov sits down with investigative journalist Pablo Torre — host of Pablo Torre Finds Out — to break down the hidden power structures shaping everything from sports to politics.

From billionaire team owners bending the rules to Donald Trump’s latest legal and political maneuvers, Torre connects the dots on how influence really works behind the scenes. They dive into prediction markets and potential insider trading, the culture wars playing out through sports, and the growing role of money and media in shaping public opinion.

Plus: Is there really an “Epstein class” operating above the rules? And are we getting more transparency — or just better at hiding corruption in plain sight?

The Iran war keeps escalating, and the messaging from Washington couldn’t be more split. 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.

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.

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.

Scott Galloway is joined by Sen. Mark Warner, ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, to talk through the latest in Iran. They discuss the prospects of Trump escalating the conflict by sending in ground forces, or initiating a new bombing campaign. Warner discusses the far-reaching economic consequences stemming both from the chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, and from Trump’s confusing decision to ease sanctions on both Russia and Iran. And they evaluate how Congress can negotiate a war while facing such a contentious relationship with Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon.

Plus, Sen. Warner talks about the biggest threat facing the country right now: election security. He explains why and how Trump might interfere with the midterms this year, and what role ICE might play in the disruption. Finally they discuss the recent verdict in the social media addiction trial against Meta and YouTube.

How is the Trump family using the war in Iran, and a collapsed regulatory environment, to enrich themselves? Jessica Tarlov is joined by someone with inside knowledge of how it works in Trump’s orbit — Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director and the founder of SkyBridge Capital. They discuss how the administration is using uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, misdirection around peace talks, and manipulation of prediction markets to extract wealth from the conflict.

Plus — Scaramucci explains how it works inside Trump’s head, why there is a corruption problem on both sides of the aisle, and why MAGA voters are able to separate Trump’s campaign promises from the disappointing economic reality. 

And, Scaramucci names the Democratic politician who he thinks Trump wants as his successor in the White House.

Three weeks into Trump’s war with Iran, is anyone actually winning? Or are we watching a conflict spiral with no clear endgame? 

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov sit down with Ian Bremmer (president of the Eurasia Group) and Dan Senor (former policy advisor to Mitt Romney, and the host of the “Call Me Back” podcast) for a real debate on the war. 

They talk about whether or not the U.S. has a strategy for either meaningful victory or enduring peace, the consequences the war has had on regional stability and on Trump’s political base at home, how our actions in Iran have affected the country’s standing in other global conflicts — like the Russia-Ukraine war, and in Venezuela.

Plus: what it all means for the global economy, oil prices, and our experts predict how things could unfold from here.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride (D - DE) joins Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov to break down how Democrats should respond to everything from Trump mocking Robert Mueller’s death, to deploying ICE at airports, rising gas prices, and the escalating war with Iran. She explains how all of it hits Americans’ wallets.

McBride also dives into the internet’s role in radicalizing young people, the GOP’s culture war on trans rights, and the “culture of cynicism” dominating politics. She speaks on the adversity she's faced on the road to becoming the first openly transgender member of U.S. Congress in history.
