    The Rise of Conspiracy Politics in Trump’s America (ft. Astead Herndon)

    29/04/2026 | 38 mins.
    After Trump imposed sweeping tariffs, tried to prevent the release of the Epstein files, and led the U.S. into another potential “forever” war, are the bonds that keep the MAGA coalition together starting to fall apart? 

    Jessica Tarlov sits down with Vox’s Astead Herndon — political journalist and host of the new podcast “America, Actually” — to discuss these and other big-picture trends on both sides of the aisle. They also break down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s testimony on Capitol Hill, as the 60-day clock on the Iran conflict winds down. Facing tough questions on strategy, civilian casualties, and rapidly depleting weapons stockpiles, one key question looms: is there any real clarity on how this ends?

    They also talk about the major ruling delivered by the Supreme Court on Louisiana’s congressional map, which many say further narrows the Voting Rights Act, intensifying the fight over redistricting. With Florida Republicans pushing an aggressive new map, which party is really winning the map wars?

    Plus: conspiracy theories explode online in the aftermath of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. But it’s not just Republicans who are holding conspiratorial beliefs. Jessica and Astead dig into the state of the electorate ahead of the midterms: which voters are being misunderstood, what storylines are overhyped, and what a post-Trump political landscape might actually look like.

    Trump Blames Democrats, Demands His Ballroom, and Attacks Jimmy Kimmel Again (ft. Sen. Rand Paul)

    28/04/2026 | 29 mins.
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov sit down with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) to unpack a volatile political moment in Washington.

    In the wake of the attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Republicans and President Trump are blaming Democrats for fueling political violence — while critics argue the response is part of a familiar cycle of partisan escalation, and that President Trump has espoused even more egregious rhetoric throughout his presidency.

    At the same time, Congress is debating a controversial proposal to fast-track Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom, exposing new divisions over spending, security, and priorities inside the GOP.

    The conversation also turns to free speech and media backlash, as Jimmy Kimmel faces renewed pressure from the Trump camp following a controversial joke that aired just days before the attack.

    Senator Paul weighs in on political responsibility, party loyalty, rising polarization, and what these flashpoints reveal about the state of the Republican Party heading into the midterms and 2028.

    The Aftermath of Trump's Third Assassination Attempt

    27/04/2026 | 30 mins.
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov examine the incident that took place this weekend at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where an armed suspect was apprehended after breaching a security perimeter. The incident, described by authorities as a potential assassination attempt, has renewed questions about the safety of high-profile political figures and the persistence of political violence in the United States.

    They discuss what is known about the suspect, how the breach occurred, and what the continued threats against Trump tell us about the state of the country. Is “violent rhetoric” to blame — or are we seeing a country roused to anger by cable news and social media? Would Trump’s ballroom have made those in the administration safer? And, how do the threats that Trump has faced compare to what past presidents have gone through?

    Plus, Scott and Jessica check in on the latest developments in the Middle East, where Iran has floated a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a prolonged ceasefire. With global energy markets already under strain, Scott and Jess consider what the offer signals about Iran’s position — and whether a resolution is any closer.

    A War That Trump Won’t End — and an Economy Starting to Feel It

    24/04/2026 | 30 mins.
    Trump says the ceasefire is holding — but the bigger question is: what’s actually changed?

    Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down a Middle East conflict that feels stuck in place while the consequences keep escalating. Oil prices have surged past $100, the U.S. is burning through thousands of missiles, and tensions with Iran are still boiling beneath the surface as both sides escalate in the Strait of Hormuz.

    At the same time, the ripple effects are hitting closer to home — from rising fuel costs to surprising supply chain impacts that could drive up everyday prices in ways most Americans didn’t see coming.

    Back in the U.S., the political chaos isn’t slowing down. A major redistricting fight in Virginia heads to the courts, the high-stakes California governor race starts to take shape with big-money candidates, and Republicans float the possibility of a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon — raising serious questions about accountability.

    And in a moment that feels almost too on-the-nose, Alex Jones melts down as The Onion takes over Infowars, with plans to convert it into a parody site — with proceeds going to Sandy Hook victims. Plus: Trump plans to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

    The Limits of Trump's "Madman" Iran Strategy

    23/04/2026 | 31 mins.
    Is this a ceasefire in name only? What does “ceasefire” even mean? 

    After extending the ceasefire with Iran, Donald Trump is threatening “shoot to kill” in the Strait of Hormuz as Iran seizes ships and commercial vessels come under fire. Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down how close we are to open conflict, what the Secretary of the Navy’s firing means, and what happens if global oil shipments become even more incapacitated. 

    Plus: Scott and Jessica talk about the potential government bailout for Spirit Airlines, discussing how this move would evade corporate bankruptcy laws and amount to cronyism. And, with Tim Cook’s announcement that he will step down as CEO, what comes next for Apple in the Trump era?
