Summary

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov take stock of the Trump economy one year after his 2024 election. If popular stock indices don’t tell the whole story, what other indicators should we look at? Plus — the government shutdown is on the verge of becoming the longest in US history, and lawmakers don’t seem close to a plan for the future. What comes next? And, the ugly MAGA infighting over Nick Fuentes’ antisemitism. Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov. Follow Prof G, @profgalloway. Follow Raging Moderates, @RagingModeratesPod.
