As Canada and Europe Team Up Against Trump, Hegseth Unveils His RADICAL New Vision for the Military

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open Thursday with the escalating trade war, now being waged on multiple fronts simultaneously. Trump's outright ban on select Canadian goods — including alcoholic beverages — went into effect earlier this week, after Trump called Canada "one of the worst countries in the entire world."

Hegseth also called press coverage of the Iran war "treason." Then they discuss the dramatic incident aboard a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, where a co-pilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the plane carrying mostly Israeli passengers. The aircraft plunged nearly 14,000 feet in under 30 seconds before passengers and crew apparently fought their way into the cockpit and subdued the co-pilot. The flight landed safely in Saudi Arabia, where the co-pilot is now in custody. The airline says the motive is still under investigation. Is this a terrorism case — or is it too early to say? Finally, the candidates for California governor faced off in a debate last night. Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton squared off on taxes, immigration, and Hilton's relationship with Trump in a state that is also one of the world's largest
