The 2026 Memorandum of Understanding with Iran contains no actual nuclear constraints — just a pledge never to build a weapon, equivalent to what Iran already promised when it signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1970.

Scott systematically dismantles the MOU against the JCPOA benchmark. The JCPOA required a 98% reduction in Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, dismantling of two-thirds of its centrifuges, a 3.7% enrichment cap, and continuous IAEA monitoring. The 2026 MOU offers none of that — just a pledge Iran already made in 1970 when it signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran's enrichment has risen from 3.7% to 60% since Trump tore up the deal [1] — Scott Galloway "Iran uranium enrichment: 3.7% → 60%: When Trump tore up the JCPOA, Iran's enriched uranium was at 3.7%; it is now at 60%, just a short step…" 30:49 — just a step below weapons-grade. The MOU also commits the US to not increasing regional military forces and withdrawing troops within 30 days of a final agreement, giving away a key strategic leverage point. Crucially, the JCPOA was multilateral, signed by China and Russia too — if Iran defied it, the entire world responded. The MOU is bilateral, leaving Iran free to trade with everyone else if it walks away.
When Trump tore up the JCPOA, Iran's uranium enrichment was capped at 3.7%. It's now at 60% — one step from weapons grade. The new MOU has no inspection regime, no enrichment caps, and commits the US to not increasing regional military forces. We paid more, got less, and gave up leverage.
When Trump tore up the JCPOA, Iran's enriched uranium was at 3.7%; it is now at 60%, just a short step from weapons-grade material.
Ukraine's drone warfare has proven that cheap, disposable weapons outperform expensive platforms. Scott argues the US military budget should be cut in half and redirected entirely to asymmetric warfare — and Trump's response was to increase spending on expensive platforms by $400 billion. Completely wrong lesson.
A total of 8 states have filed lawsuits against social media platforms, including an ongoing case in Tennessee, using product liability and public nuisance theories to seek accountability.
France built 56 nuclear plants in the 1970s and now has the cheapest energy in Europe, making it independent of Russian or Middle Eastern energy geopolitics.
Estonia has a single tax form, a law preventing the government from asking citizens for the same information twice, and a flat rate of tax — enabling competitive taxation.
Portugal's Lisbon, once a city with a major heroin problem, legalised drugs and redirected enforcement spending into rehabilitation and housing, dramatically reducing crime.
The first Boland Amendment banning CIA and Defense Department funds for the Contras passed the House unanimously — yet the Reagan administration ignored it.
Over just two years, Saudi Arabia alone donated $32 million to the Contra rebels, giving loosely affiliated factions millions they had no way to spend on arms.
The National Endowment for the Preservation of Liberty raised $6.3 million for the Contras but only $3.3 million reached them — a shockingly low 52% program expense rate.
Richard Secord and Albert Hakim marked up their arms shipments to the Contras by as much as 300%, making enormous personal profits from the covert operation.
Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, tapped to run the entire covert Contra support operation, had no prior experience in covert operations whatsoever — he was learning as he went.
