As the war in Iran roils on, with devastating effects on the oil markets, what is Trump’s plan to get the U.S. out of another regional quagmire? Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov discuss the latest developments on the war in Iran from the administration — including a befuddling announcement from Trump, startling messaging from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and a foreboding sense from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Cuba is next. Plus — Scott explains why the markets seem to have rebound...

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov dig into the growing cracks inside Trump’s MAGA coalition as U.S. strikes on Iran spark backlash from the right. JD Vance once sold Trump as the president who “started no wars” — now, with American casualties rising and only a quarter of Americans backing the strikes, that promise is under pressure. From Capitol Hill to conservative media, the movement is split: is this still “America First,” or something else entirely? Scott and Jess break down the White House’...
Oil markets are rattled, Trump is escalating, and China is speaking out. In this episode of China Decode , Alice Han and James Kynge break down how China is responding after Trump’s strikes on Iran — and what soaring oil prices mean for Beijing’s energy security and global strategy. Is this about principle, protecting its oil lifeline, or quietly capitalizing on U.S. distraction? Then they turn to China’s next Five-Year Plan and its aggressive push into AI and advanced manufacturing. Is Beijing ...

They discuss whether military action is imminent, what a strike would actually accomplish, and whether the Islamic Republic could survive sustained U.S. pressure.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Trump’s marathon State of the Union — the longest in history — and the alternate reality he painted of a “golden age” America, even as most voters say the country is on the wrong track. They dig into the speech’s biggest moments: the attacks on Democrats, the swipe at the Supreme Court over tariffs, and Trump’s mixed message on Iran — diplomacy, but with the door wide open to military action. Did the speech help him? And are we actually edging toward ...
In this episode of China Decode , Alice Han and James Kynge unpack the International Monetary Fund’s blunt warning that China’s export-led growth model is nearing its limits — just as the Supreme Court of the United States rolls back sweeping Trump-era emergency tariffs, reshaping the trade war at a pivotal moment. Then, China’s hospitals are going viral. From Beijing to Hainan, foreign patients are seeking faster, cheaper treatment as part of Beijing’s “Healthy China 2030” push to turn healthca...

Kai Ryssdal, host and senior editor of Marketplace , joins Scott Galloway to assess the contradictions at the heart of today’s economy. They discuss the “low hire, low fire” labor market, why consumer sentiment feels worse than the headline data suggests, and how tariffs are quietly working their way into higher prices. Kai also shares his skepticism about the AI boom, whether white-collar workers should be worried, and why income inequality continues to widen despite record markets. The convers...
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down how censoring Colbert backfired on CBS — after Texas state Rep. James Talarico’s scheduled appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was abruptly pulled off the air. Is this corporate media caving to Trump-era pressure — and is Paramount the real loser? Then: the DOJ says it’s done releasing the Epstein files — but reports suggest the public has seen just 2% of them. If that’s true, who’s still exposed, and why is the department claiming missio...
China is entering the Year of the Fire Horse — a zodiac pairing that comes around just once every 60 years. The last time was 1966, the year the Cultural Revolution began. So is this simply symbolism… or could it hint at something more? In this special Lunar New Year episode of China Decode , Alice Han is joined by writer and commentator Lijia Zhang to unpack the meaning — and the mythology — behind the Fire Horse. They explore how astrology, politics, and economics intersect at a pivotal moment...

Ethan also explores AI in higher education and medicine, the rise of open-weight models, and what all of this means for young pe...
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov explore a weekend that showcased two very different Americas: Bad Bunny celebrated unity across the continent, while Donald Trump leaned into culture wars, attacking an Olympic skier for expressing mixed feelings about representing the U.S. and amplifying a racist video of the Obamas. At the same time, Congress is reviewing Epstein files, Ghislaine Maxwell is publicly hinting at clemency deals, and Trump’s allies are facing political scrutiny. They also break do...
In this episode of China Decode , Alice Han and James Kynge dig into China’s so-called “genius camps” — the small, brutally selective talent pipeline behind many of the country’s biggest tech and AI breakthroughs. Then they turn to rising nuclear tensions after the U.S. accuses China of having conducted a secret nuclear test in 2020, just as the last major U.S.-Russia arms control treaty expires. How credible are the claims, and what does this mean for global nuclear negotiations? Plus, China’s ...
