Summary

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down a fast-moving moment in global and domestic politics as Iran steps back from new peace talks following the U.S. seizure of an Iranian cargo ship. With tensions rising, questions are mounting over whether the current ceasefire can hold — or whether negotiations are already beginning to unravel. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance is expected to travel back to Pakistan, even as Tehran signals deep hesitation. At home, the Supreme Court has struck down key elements of Trump’s tariff policy, triggering a potential $166 billion wave of refunds for importers and raising new questions about who ultimately bears the cost of trade policy gone wrong. Abroad, U.S. allies are openly reassessing their reliance on America. Scott and Jessica talk about the implications of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s warning that economic ties to the United States may now represent a “weakness.” Plus, the rise of AI-generated political “influencer” accounts is reshaping the information landscape ahead of the 2026 midterms.
