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.

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.
