After more than 100 days of war, President Trump says the U.S. and Iran have reached a ceasefire agreement. But major questions remain unanswered. Iran has yet to fully confirm the deal, the future of Tehran’s nuclear program is unresolved, and regional tensions involving Israel and Hezbollah are still simmering. In fact, Trump says the full text of the agreement won’t be released until Friday.

Scott Galloway, Jessica Tarlov, and special guest Ian Bremmer break down what the next 60 days could look like. They discuss whether this agreement has any realistic chance of holding, and who stands to benefit politically if negotiations succeed — or collapse.

They also discuss what Trump’s announcement means heading into the G7 summit in France, and why the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important pressure points in the global economy.

Plus: Trump celebrates his 80th birthday by hosting a UFC event on the White House lawn, which is not a sentence that would have made any sense even a very short time ago in America’s 250-year history. Jessica and Scott discuss the cultural significance of this event — and a shocking remark made by one of the participants. When looked at alongside the recent allegations against Graham Platner — the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine — what does this spectacle say about Democrats’ and Republicans’ divergent views of masculinity?
