Summary
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest developments in the Iran negotiations, after reports emerged that Tehran may be opening “other fronts” in response to alleged ceasefire violations by the U.S. and Israel. President Trump is reportedly growing frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio faces Congress for the first time since the war began.
Meanwhile, Trump has named businessman Bill Pulte as the acting Director of National Intelligence,following Tulsi Gabbard’s departure. This comes despite the 38-year-old former chair of federal mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac having no national security experience. Scott and Jessica talk about this as a bellwether for the state of Trumpism and its grip on the country’s institutions.
Plus: frustrations with Democratic Party leadership continue bubbling up in Iowa, as the state holds an important primary for its Senate and governor races today. Scott and Jessica also preview how the primaries in California, New Jersey, and Montana might go.
Finally, AI company Anthropic preps to go public, and, in the wake of two mass shootings at universities in the state this past April, Florida’s attorney general launches a lawsuit against OpenAI, following allegations that ChatGPT played a role in guiding the perpetrators.
