Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov preview Michigan's August 4th Senate primary, starting with last night's televised debate between progressive Abdul El-Sayed and moderate Haley Stevens. Hot topics were: Israel, AIPAC, utility costs, and who would actually focus on Michigan dominated the exchanges. Trump was also in Michigan yesterday, appearing at a General Motors facility to tout his tariffs and their promised benefits for the auto industry — while blaming Biden and Obama for the state's economic struggles. Will his "the economy is great" message land in a state that's felt real manufacturing pain? The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to clear the way for a sweeping executive order placing major new restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the midterms, following a loss in the lower courts. Trump is also pressuring Senate Majority Leader John Thune to pass the SAVE America Act before the August recess, even raising a call to end the filibuster in order to do so. Why is Trump pushing so hard on voting restrictions — and how worried should Americans be about the integrity of the November elections? Day one of Lindsey Graham's funeral services was held today, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky both in attendance — and both meeting individually with Trump while in Washington. It's Trump and Netanyahu's first face-to-face meeting since the start of the Iran war. Is there any chance this meeting moves the needle on the conflict? Ahead of Dr. Anthony Fauci's subpoenaed testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, Sen. Rand Paul has released over 1,100 pages of Fauci's personal diary. Do these documents tell us anything new about COVID's origins — or just the private thoughts of a health professional whose celebrity was on the rise?

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week with the latest news on Iran: U.S. strikes are on hold, with Trump pausing major escalation amid growing concerns from advisors about diminished air defense munitions stockpiles in the Middle East. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz addressed the stockpile issue publicly this week, blaming it on former President Biden. Meanwhile, a separate and deeply troubling story: the Pentagon has quietly lowered its official count of U.S. troops killed in the Iran war on its website. Scott and Jessica break down what to make of that. Also under scrutiny: new reporting reveals that Hegseth's pick to lead the Navy, Admiral Daryl Caudle, was previously the subject of an inspector general investigation — and was represented by an attorney who is currently a special adviser to Hegseth himself. What toll will this culture of corruption wreak on the future of the U.S. military? With less than 100 days until the midterms, Scott and Jessica take stock of where Democrats stand. In Maine, Troy Jackson is now the official Senate nominee, and leads Kalshi markets at 62% to win the seat. But nationally, the DNC is facing ongoing concerns about a cash shortage — even as individuals like Hakeem Jeffries and John Ossoff are raising significant sums. Republicans have circulated a new version of a major cryptocurrency bill — the CLARITY Act — but the sticking point is the ethics clause. The Trump family has made over $2.3 billion through crypto ventures since the start of the second term, and Senate Democrats want a provision addressing that conflict of interest. Will it pass? Finally, the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner was held Friday and Trump used the occasion to go after CNN's Kaitlan Collins. Should this event get cancelled?

The podcast episode of Raging Moderates features hosts Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov dissecting a series of alarming Trump administration policies, including a controversial nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, escalating Middle East tensions, and the defunding of teen pregnancy prevention programs. A recent Fox News poll showing Democrats leading across key demographics adds political momentum to their critique, highlighting a potential 'blue tsunami' in the midterms.
The episode of Raging Moderates examines the Trump administration’s self-defeating trade policies, particularly new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, critiques the UK’s political instability under new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and features a wide-ranging interview with Senator Mark Kelly on military recruitment, national service, the war in Iran, and his potential presidential run. The conversation underscores the dangers of ideological rigidity, economic nationalism, and leadership that prioritizes symbolism over substance.
The episode of Raging Moderates hosted by Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov covers a wide range of political and cultural topics, from escalating U.S.-Iran tensions and the fallout from the Trump administration’s foreign policy to the progressive shift in Democratic politics led by figures like AOC and Abdul El-Sayed. The conversation also critiques performative political posturing, such as New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s threat to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and examines the evolving dynamics in Democratic primaries, particularly in Michigan and Maine. The hosts close with reflections on pop culture, including the controversy over casting in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
President Trump is set to deliver a primetime speech centered on election integrity and Iran, with claims of 'big news' about Chinese interference in U.S. elections—despite no evidence of impact. Meanwhile, over 100 House Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, voted to cut aid to Israel, signaling a generational and political shift. The episode also covers the botched release of Epstein files, Pete Hegseth’s controversial testosterone initiative for troops, New York’s AI data center moratorium, and a growing cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to CDC cuts.
On this episode of Raging Moderates, Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov dissect the escalating Iran conflict under Trump’s renewed presidency, critiquing the administration’s lack of strategic foresight and reckless foreign policy decisions. They then pivot to a harrowing discussion of ICE’s deadly overreach, spotlighting the fatal shooting of Juan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine and the broader pattern of unaccountable immigration enforcement. The conversation closes with a scathing critique of privatizing essential public institutions like prisons and healthcare, arguing that profit motives have corrupted national priorities.
The podcast opens with a satirical false report of Senator Lindsey Graham's death, leading into a layered discussion on his controversial legacy, particularly his stance on LGBTQ+ rights versus his rumored sexuality, Mitch McConnell's health crisis and the broader issue of aging political leaders, and the Democratic Party's handling of the Graham Plumer scandal in Maine. The hosts, Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov, blend personal reflection, political analysis, and moral critique throughout.
