Does AOC Have the RIZZ that Trump Used to Build MAGA?

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week by talking about the latest in the still-ongoing conflict with Iran. Over the weekend, a third U.S. service member was killed in the latest strikes — which are affecting many U.S. allies in the region. Is the U.S. is being pulled deeper into a conflict with no visible endgame?

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is exploring whether he has the authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the U.N. General Assembly this fall, citing the International Criminal Court’s warrant against him, charging him with war crimes.

Meanwhile, AOC is sounding a lot more like Barack Obama on the campaign trail, at a rally for Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed in Michigan. By shifting from strictly the language of economic populism to a broader message of hope, change, and taking on the political establishment… is this a sign she's laying the groundwork for a 2028 run?

Maine Democrats have a new Senate nominee: progressive former state Senate president Troy Jackson will take on Republican Senator Susan Collins in one of the year's biggest battleground races. Kalshi currently has Democrats at 66% to win the seat, and Jackson specifically at 65% to be the one who wins it.

And finally: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is a box office hit — but it's also a culture war flashpoint. What exactly is MAGA mad about this time?
