Summary

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest news coming from the White House about the Iran negotiations. Trump’s bold remarks during yesterday’s Cabinet meeting seemed to suggest that a deal was imminent, but recent airstrikes and the lack of agreed-upon terms tell a different story. While the administration insists diplomacy is still alive, mixed messaging continues around the ceasefire, sanctions, and Iran’s nuclear program. Back home, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) says he’s prepared to fight Trump’s controversial $1.8B taxpayer-funded “Anti-Weaponization Fund” for January 6 defendants, while former judges and Capitol Police officers continue mounting legal challenges against it. Scott and Jessica also look at the increasingly heated Texas Senate race, where Democrat James Talarico is embracing the attacks from coming from Trump-backed Republican nominee Ken Paxton, and turning them into campaign merchandise. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is suing the Department of Justice to block the release of recordings tied to the confidential documents investigation led by special counsel Robert Hur. And Jill Biden revisits concerns about the president’s disastrous debate performance and health during the 2024 campaign. Plus: as the Trump administration prepares to host a UFC event at the White House as part of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, a massive octagon has begun to be constructed on the South Lawn. Is this a mark of the crass spectacle that America has become? Or a shrewd play for a difficult-to-reach slice of the electorate?
