Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball, The Big Short, and the new book Blockers: Rebels in the Deep State, joins Scott Galloway to discuss what happened when DOGE went after the career civil servants who stood in its way.

He explains why DOGE’s young engineers led with contempt over curiosity, how the IRS’s chief privacy officer fought to keep immigrants’ tax data away from ICE, and why watching DOGE’s leadership up close made him question how the world’s richest man runs his companies. They also explore how prediction markets are upending sports betting, why gambling apps go after their most vulnerable users, and what it’s like to watch a son leave for college.
