Trump Has “No Cards” in Iran as Deal Collapses and U.S. Continues Strikes

About this episode

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov discuss the latest developments in Iran negotiations and domestic protests against ICE, while also addressing ethical concerns regarding AI raised by Pope Leo XIV.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest developments in the fragile Iran negotiations, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivering an encouraging, but confusing, update. They discuss reports that the Trump administration is pursuing a framework involving a ceasefire extension, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, renewed Iranian oil sales, and separate talks over the fate of Tehran’s nuclear program. Back home, Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) says he was pepper sprayed by federal agents during a protest outside an ICE detention facility in New Jersey, where detainees are reportedly on hunger strike over poor conditions and lack of medical care. Scott and Jessica check in on the latest public clash between ICE and protesters. Plus: In his much publicized first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV issued a stark warning against AI, urging that the technology shouldn’t be concentrated in the hands of the wealthy few, should not be considered morally neutral, and warning that it could create “new forms of slavery.” How does this square with the latest thinking on Wall Street, and in Silicon Valley?
