  • What Democrats Still Don’t Get about MAGA (ft. Jordan Klepper of The Daily Show)

    What Democrats Still Don’t Get about MAGA (ft. Jordan Klepper of The Daily Show)
    Mar 11 2026
    In a post-Trump world, what will happen to the MAGA base? Jessica Tarlov is joined by comedian and The Daily Show co-host Jordan Klepper to talk through it. Jordan has spent the past decade at Trump rallies, talking with voters on the right about what they believe, who they distrust, and what’s really galvanizing their movement. Jessica and Jordan also discuss White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s latest attempt to avoid accountability for strikes in Iran, Lindsey Graham’s lust for being close to power, and whether or not Democrats can transform from a party widely seen as feckless and ineffective in opposition to Trump… into a movement inspired by authenticity, community, and even fun. And, in a media landscape dominated by right-wing corporate conglomeration on the one hand and online creators on the other hand, how has The Daily Show — a thirty-year-old television program — managed to actually gain Gen Z viewers?

  • The Trump Administration Can’t Get Their Iran War Story Straight

    The Trump Administration Can’t Get Their Iran War Story Straight
    Mar 10 2026
    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 rebounded from yesterday’s oil price spike, and Jessica unpacks why Trump’s refusal to provide strong support for Ukraine in its war with Russia may have already hurt the U.S. in Iran.

  • Trump Downplays War Costs as Oil Explodes and Markets Crash

    Trump Downplays War Costs as Oil Explodes and Markets Crash
    Mar 9 2026
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the rapidly escalating war with Iran as it enters week two. Tehran has installed Mojtaba Khamenei as the new supreme leader — a move that effectively turns the Islamic Republic into a dynasty, decades after the revolution that was supposed to end dynastic rule. Meanwhile, casualties are rising, oil has surged past $100 a barrel, and global markets are starting to react. They discuss the economic fallout — from spiking energy prices to the potential impact on inflation and markets. Plus: what Mojtaba’s rise means for Iran’s future, how much influence Washington actually has over who leads the country, and whether Trump has a clear endgame for the conflict.
