Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov dive into Trump’s new “affordability” push — from $2,000 tariff rebate checks to 50-year mortgages — and ask whether any of it actually makes economic sense. Then, California’s Gavin Newsom takes on America’s masculinity crisis, warning Democrats can’t keep ignoring men and boys. Plus, Texas Democrat James Talarico gets caught following OnlyFans models, and Trump’s influence hits a new low (or high?) — the “Mar-a-Lago face.” Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov.
