Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov discuss the latest updates in the wake of the blue tsunami.

Trump has tapped Stephen Miller, the architect of some of his most divisive policies, as his new chief of staff, and ordered the Justice Department to investigate top Democrats. Democrats say Miller’s promotion is a clear signal that Trump is doubling down on the very agenda voters just rejected. Is there any chance of Trump reaching across the aisle to work with Democrats?

The midterm wipeout isn't just creating problems for Donald Trump. It's also throwing JD Vance's political future into question. Could his allegiance to Trump tank Vance’s chances at a presidential run?

And Democrats are already having their own conversation about the party's next generation of leadership. Can Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer win the support of their party?

Democrats are moving toward an aggressive accountability agenda, pushing for Pete Hegseth’s impeachment. And even Republicans are pushing for his ousting — What are the odds he gets impeached this week?

Nvidia is launching an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang after he acknowledged having an affair with a business executive U.S. intelligence believes was working for Chinese spies.

In Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu could finally be facing an exit from power. Will Gadi Eisenkot be able to form a coalition, and if so, what would that mean for Israel’s future?

Finally, Jess and Scott take audience questions on the future of the filibuster, Susie Wiles and Ted Cruz.

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down a wild week in American politics.

Trump’s post-midterm nightmare is getting worse. A federal judge just blocked his plans for a massive triumphal arch, while the president weighs whether to reignite the war with Iran. Meanwhile, Wall Street is rattled, Trump is blaming voters for the market turmoil, and Republicans are already positioning themselves for a post-Trump future.

Mike Pence is breaking with the president, the 2028 jockeying is underway, and the GOP’s internal divisions are becoming harder to ignore.

But Democrats have their own challenges. After riding affordability concerns to major midterm victories, they now have to deliver. From Nithya Raman’s win in Los Angeles to a potential rollback of Texas Republicans’ culture-war agenda, Democrats are beginning to put their newfound momentum to work.

Plus, Gavin Newsom makes a major move on California’s death row, Cory Booker heads back to South Carolina, and a newly expanded coalition of blue states could bring the National Popular Vote compact closer to changing how America elects its president.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov are live to discuss the fallout from an overwhelming Democratic victory on Election Day — which is being described as a possible “extinction-level event” for the political future of the GOP. After an election that was “too big to rig,” Republicans are now being forced to reckon with just how badly things went wrong. Where does the party go from here?

And the fallout from the election could reach all the way to the Pentagon. As reporting indicates that Trump might be looking to single out a “fall guy” for the Iran war, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has come into focus as a possible sacrificial offering. Will Hegseth face impeachment, be asked to resign — or does he possibly have another job waiting for him in Tennessee?

The political fallout is hitting Wall Street, as well, as AI stocks took a dive for what was the market’s largest single-day drop in 18 months. Does this signal the end of the data center buildout? If the U.S. economy is all a giant “bet on AI,” what does the overwhelming opposition to it at the polls signal for the future?

Doctors and nurses were among the beneficiaries of the Democratic wave, with at least six health care professionals taking seats in Congress. This comes as more and more Americans report dissatisfaction with the health care policies of the Trump administration. This puts RFK Jr.’s MAHA movement on the defensive — where does the movement go from here?

The election also exposed some tensions within the Democratic Party, as progressive candidates running on messages of economic populism seem to validate Bernie Sanders’s approach to policy, but voter referendums in some states restricting transgender rights and implementing voter ID requirements might indicate something very different. Do the results show something more complicated than a simple progressives vs. moderates divide?

Plus, Scott and Jessica take audience questions about the possible end of the Electoral College, and a surprising dark horse candidate for the 2028 presidential race.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Tuesday’s historic political earthquake.

The “blue tsunami” we’ve been predicting arrived. Some are calling it the Democrats’ best election night since 2008 — others are looking back even further into American history for parallels. Is this the beginning of the end of the MAGA movement?

Young men overwhelmingly swung blue. According to the New York Times, men ages 18 to 29 shifted 38 points toward Democrats—a stunning reversal. Scott and Jessica analyze these and other surprising demographic trends that, in some ways, make the 2026 midterm elections the mirror image of the 2024 presidential election.

As consequence to a night of many historic firsts, Hakeem Jeffries is set to make history and become the first Black speaker. In the first 100 hours, Jeffries is planning to pass legislation to undo Trump’s most unpopular policies. What will Democratic leadership look like?

Finally, Scott and Jess answer questions from viewers. They discuss the future of the Democratic party, and how party leaders will take on Trump, Musk, and other MAGA figures.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov go live on Election Day to discuss the latest news and their final predictions for the 2026 Midterms.

While millions of Americans are heading to the polls today, early voting has also outpaced the last midterm cycle in key battleground states. What can we learn from early voting data?

If Democrats take back the House, Hakeem Jeffries could make history as the first Black speaker. But his party in Congress is still very unpopular — despite specific candidates gaining the edge in individual races. What will Democratic leadership look like if the party takes back Congress? And how will the Democrats form and communicate their policy agenda to a skeptical public.

As Democrats begin to contemplate the possibility of regaining control in key Congressional committees, reports say that they may already have their sights set on one of Trump’s biggest frenemies: Elon Musk. How serious could these investigations get? And, is there anything that the Dems will be able to do to limit the corruption in the White House?

Beyond the midterms, another major question is what Trump does next in Iran. But Trump is downplaying the prospect of a return to war, saying he’s “in no rush” to resume strikes as negotiations continue through Qatari mediators. Is Trump really easing up on the war in Iran, or is he pandering to voters before the Midterms?

As results start coming in tonight, there are a few early bellwethers worth watching. Will these races give us an early indication of the broader national picture?
