Summary

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the political and economic fallout from Trump’s escalating conflict with Iran. After the Senate votes down an effort to limit the president’s war powers, the path is cleared for the fight to continue — even as American troops have been killed, gas prices climb, and the Pentagon warns the conflict has only just begun. Scott and Jess dig into what the war could mean for the issue voters care about most: affordability. With energy markets already reacting and the White House reportedly scrambling to contain rising gas prices, they explore how the conflict could hit your wallet — and why Democrats are still struggling to deliver a clear message. Jessica also discusses a major shake-up inside the administration: Trump abruptly fires Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership, including the handling of the immigration crackdown and disaster response. Plus, a dramatic moment on Capitol Hill as a Marine veteran is forcibly removed from a Senate hearing while protesting the war. Is this the start of a broader anti-war backlash? Then, they turn to why the House committee subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi over the still-withheld Epstein files. With Republicans breaking ranks and lawmakers like Thomas Massie raising questions about timing, Scott and Jess ask the uncomfortable question — is the war drowning out scrutiny of the Epstein investigation?
