Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov

Scott Galloway is joined by Sen. Mark Warner, ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, to talk through the latest in Iran. They discuss the prospects of Trump escalating the conflict by sending in ground forces, or initiating a new bombing campaign. Warner discusses the far-reaching economic consequences stemming both from the chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, and from Trump’s confusing decision to ease sanctions on both Russia and Iran. And they evaluate how Congress can negotiate a war while facing such a contentious relationship with Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon. Plus, Sen. Warner talks about the biggest threat facing the country right now: election security. He explains why and how Trump might interfere with the midterms this year, and what role ICE might play in the disruption. Finally they discuss the recent verdict in the social media addiction trial against Meta and YouTube.

How is the Trump family using the war in Iran, and a collapsed regulatory environment, to enrich themselves? Jessica Tarlov is joined by someone with inside knowledge of how it works in Trump’s orbit — Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director and the founder of SkyBridge Capital. They discuss how the administration is using uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, misdirection around peace talks, and manipulation of prediction markets to extract wealth from the conflict. Plus — Scaramucci explains how it works inside Trump’s head, why there is a corruption problem on both sides of the aisle, and why MAGA voters are able to separate Trump’s campaign promises from the disappointing economic reality.  And, Scaramucci names the Democratic politician who he thinks Trump wants as his successor in the White House.

Three weeks into Trump’s war with Iran, is anyone actually winning? Or are we watching a conflict spiral with no clear endgame?  Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov sit down with Ian Bremmer (president of the Eurasia Group) and Dan Senor (former policy advisor to Mitt Romney, and the host of the “Call Me Back” podcast) for a real debate on the war.  They talk about whether or not the U.S. has a strategy for either meaningful victory or enduring peace, the consequences the war has had on regional stability and on Trump’s political base at home, how our actions in Iran have affected the country’s standing in other global conflicts — like the Russia-Ukraine war, and in Venezuela. Plus: what it all means for the global economy, oil prices, and our experts predict how things could unfold from here.

Congresswoman Sarah McBride (D - DE) joins Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov to break down how Democrats should respond to everything from Trump mocking Robert Mueller’s death, to deploying ICE at airports, rising gas prices, and the escalating war with Iran. She explains how all of it hits Americans’ wallets. McBride also dives into the internet’s role in radicalizing young people, the GOP’s culture war on trans rights, and the “culture of cynicism” dominating politics. She speaks on the adversity she's faced on the road to becoming the first openly transgender member of U.S. Congress in history.
