Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov

Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the news, starting with the Trump administration's newly announced peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia. They talk about the biggest risks and concerns, how the optics play against the backdrop of the U.S. campaign against Iran, and what it means that Yemen's Houthis have now attacked two Saudi tankers — opening yet another front in an already sprawling conflict.

Meanwhile, the House has adopted a $95 billion budget, funding the Iran war while providing money to encourage states to adopt new voting restrictions. The House and Senate still need to agree on a unified resolution before moving to a filibuster-proof reconciliation bill, and the proposal faces much more potential opposition in the Senate. Trump rallied in Georgia last night, targeting Sen. Jon Ossoff and warning of a Democratic “radical left” takeover. Meanwhile, a new Fox News poll shows Democrats leading 59-41 in counties where the 2024 presidential election was close. Scott and Jessica dive into the numbers and ask: are Republicans worried about the depth of the Democratic bench?

Plus, the Trump administration is moving to dramatically scale back federal teen pregnancy prevention efforts. Why?

And, Scott has been appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom to serve on the University of California Board of Regents. What will his first order of business be?

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down a packed Tuesday — and then are joined by Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) for a wide-ranging conversation on the midterms, the Democratic Party's future, and whether he's running for president.

But first: in a scramble to keep tariff revenue alive, Trump signed orders imposing 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods including wine, cement, and hockey sticks. Scott and Jessica ask why the administration keeps jumping through hoops to impose tariffs, and why Canada — one of America's closest allies — is again the target.

Andy Burnham is officially Britain's seventh prime minister in a decade. In his first cabinet meeting, he declared his government would be a "cost of living government," with GDP projected to grow just 0.8% this year. Is this change in leadership good for Britain?

Then, Sen. Kelly joins the show on primary day in Arizona — 105 days out from the midterm elections. He breaks down what Trump-endorsed Republicans are running on in his state, and what tonight's results might signal nationally. Kelly has new bipartisan legislation aimed at getting more men into education as teachers, mentors, and volunteers — and makes the case that Democrats need to spend more time on legislation like this rather than national political fights.

He also discusses his role as one of the Democrats’ top fundraisers, having raised roughly $25 million and contributed about $10 million to other candidates. Does this signal a presidential run in his future? What would his campaign be about, and how would his wife — former Rep. Gabby Giffords — feel about being in the White House?

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week by talking about the latest in the still-ongoing conflict with Iran. Over the weekend, a third U.S. service member was killed in the latest strikes — which are affecting many U.S. allies in the region. Is the U.S. is being pulled deeper into a conflict with no visible endgame?

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is exploring whether he has the authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the U.N. General Assembly this fall, citing the International Criminal Court’s warrant against him, charging him with war crimes.

Meanwhile, AOC is sounding a lot more like Barack Obama on the campaign trail, at a rally for Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed in Michigan. By shifting from strictly the language of economic populism to a broader message of hope, change, and taking on the political establishment… is this a sign she's laying the groundwork for a 2028 run?

Maine Democrats have a new Senate nominee: progressive former state Senate president Troy Jackson will take on Republican Senator Susan Collins in one of the year's biggest battleground races. Kalshi currently has Democrats at 66% to win the seat, and Jackson specifically at 65% to be the one who wins it.

And finally: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is a box office hit — but it's also a culture war flashpoint. What exactly is MAGA mad about this time?

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov preview President Trump’s primetime address tonight, expected to cover Iran, election integrity, and what one advisor is calling a "potpourri" of topics. Trump himself is promising "really big news."

In a major shift on Capitol Hill, over 100 House Democrats voted to end U.S. aid to Israel via an amendment to a State Department funding bill. The measure was defeated 314-104, but the vote — backed by Nancy Pelosi — sends an unmistakable signal about where the Democratic Party is heading on Israel. What's behind the shift, and what does it mean for the midterms?

Day two of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing features outside witnesses including Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky. Meanwhile, Rep. Thomas Massie and a bipartisan group of Democrats have introduced new legislation, the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, to hold the DOJ accountable for its handling of the case — and JD Vance was caught admitting the quiet part out loud on Joe Rogan.

Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announces testosterone screenings and replacement therapy for military members; New York becomes the first state to ban new hyperscale data center construction; and the cyclosporiasis parasite outbreak has now reached more than 30 states with thousands of cases and dozens of hospitalizations. What is RFK doing about it?

Finally: how will this World Cup tournament be remembered — and can America hold onto its halo effect just a little longer?

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov talk about what it means for the Iran war to be back on: Trump has formally notified Congress that fighting has resumed and the U.S. is reinstating a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. What happens next? Will Trump go through with a plan to impose a 20% fee on ships passing through the waterway, or will he back off the toll plan — as he seemed to indicate, later in the day, that he would?

Protesters surrounded Senator Susan Collins' office following the fatal ICE shooting of a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine — a man who was not the target of the agents' arrest warrant, and whose three-year-old daughter was reportedly in the car at the time he was killed.

Scott and Jessica talk about the implications of ICE’s unconstitutional tactics, and what they signal more broadly about the damage being done to the relationship between the American people and their government.
