Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov

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.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week reflecting on the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died Saturday night following what his office described as a brief and sudden illness. They talk about what he will be most remembered for — and how some of his most consequential hypocrisies could be seen to undermine the legacy of a life devoted to public service.

And, what does Graham’s death mean for a Republican Party already navigating serious uncertainty around Mitch McConnell? Scott and Jessica discuss McConnell’s mysterious health situation — which led his office to release a “proof of life” photograph on Sunday of the Senator and his wife in a hospital.

Democrats meanwhile have their own Senate crisis. Graham Platner has now formally submitted his paperwork to withdraw from the Maine race following sexual assault allegations. The Maine Democratic Party will hold a convention on July 25th to select his replacement. Will Platner’s base get behind the process? And, will whoever the Democrats nominate to replace him have a chance against many-term Republican incumbent Susan Collins?

Jessica Tarlov is joined by Brian Tyler Cohen, host of No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen, and author of the new book The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World.

They start with Graham Platner, who is bowing out of the Maine Senate race following a sexual assault allegation after a scandal-ridden campaign. In his exit video, Platner blamed the Democratic political establishment for taking the nomination away from him. How does the Democratic Party move forward in Maine to field a new candidate?

The U.S. and Iran have renewed aggression, trading strikes for a second consecutive night, with Trump declaring the three-week-old ceasefire officially "over." Jessica and Biran break down what this means for the administration’s foreign policy, and how recent reactions to spiking oil prices reveal some Republican Party hypocrisies.

Then, they discuss the resurgence of ICE operations, which led to the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national with four young U.S. citizen children. Does this mean we are heading toward another escalation of enforcement violence like what was seen in Minneapolis?

Then, Jessica talks with Brian about his new book, The Day After, and his ideas for the future of the Democratic party. What should “Project 2029” look like? Which parts of the government that Trump has dismantled are the most underappreciated — and where are there opportunities to build something better?

How can progressives govern effectively in a post-Trump America? Join Jessica Tarlov in conversation with Brian Tyler Cohen on Thursday, 7/9 at 11:45AM. Sign up here: links.profgmedia.com/btclive

Jessica Tarlov is joined by The Bulwark’s Sam Stein, and they start in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has announced he is taking time to reflect after a rape allegation went public. They discuss the logistics of possibly replacing the scandal-ridden Platner on the ballot — and mention a few possible candidates — while also asking the important question: how could the party vetting process have failed so miserably?

Plus: what is the condition of former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been hospitalized for weeks, with minimal information? Will there be a special election for his seat — and will the recently-primaried Kentuckyan Thomas Massie take an interest? And in Michigan, Mallory McMorrow has dropped out of the Senate race, leaving moderate Haley Stevens — backed by Chuck Schumer — facing off against progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed — backed by Bernie Sanders and AOC — in the Democratic primary.

Rahm Emanuel is visiting Israel this week and pre-released his speech, signaling shifting sentiment on Israel within the Democratic Party. And finally: Did Trump’s brazen act of intervention with FIFA president Gianni Infantino to overturn a striker’s suspension wind up cursing the U.S. men’s soccer team?
