What’s Actually Breaking America — with David Brooks

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the MAGA civil war — Trump losing his grip, right-wing influencers turning on each other, and the 2028 power struggle already accelerating. Then they get into the growing intrigue around Chuck Schumer: he’s not stepping aside yet, but the quiet jockeying to replace him has begun. And finally, they unpack Michelle Obama’s tough-love message for Democrats — and what it means for the party’s future bench. Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov.  Follow Prof G, @profgalloway.

In this episode of China Decode, hosts Alice Han and James Kynge break down how China is quietly building the “Android of AI” while the U.S. is pouring billions into the ultra-premium iPhone equivalent. As American firms chase ever-bigger, pricier models, Chinese competitors are going lean, open-source, and dirt-cheap — and U.S. startups are already switching to them. They unpack why Chinese models are suddenly dominating Hugging Face, how an AI price war could spark a market correction, and whether U.S. export controls are backfiring. Plus, a diplomatic firestorm between China and Japan is raising tough questions about the future balance of power in East Asia. With Tokyo taking an unusually hard line on Taiwan — and Beijing responding with fury — Alice and James examine what’s driving the escalation, what it means for U.S. strategy, and how historical grievances still shape the region’s security map. Finally, China’s coffee wars are heating up — and Starbucks is blinking. After losing ground to aggressive local rivals like Luckin and Cotti, Starbucks is selling off majority control of its China business. They explore why Western brands keep struggling in China’s hyper-competitive consumer market — and whether Starbucks can claw back relevance. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.  Follow Prof G, @profgalloway.
