Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov

Immigration enforcement suddenly halts in Minneapolis as Democrats push to disrupt ICE funding and shut down DHS unless major reforms happen. At the same time, Pam Bondi’s House hearing turns into a four-hour Epstein showdown — with survivors in the room and Democrats accusing the DOJ of stonewalling. Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down whether Bondi just handed the opposition a powerful midterm talking point. Cracks are also forming inside the GOP. House Republicans defy Trump on tariffs, triggering primary threats and raising a bigger question: is the party truly starting to break ranks — or is this just symbolic rebellion? And with 130,000 jobs added in January and unemployment ticking down to 4.3%, is the labor market shaking off the trade war drama? Plus: RFK Jr.’s pivot from vaccines skepticism to “healthy eating,” Pelosi’s endorsement of Jack Schlossberg, Prince Andrew’s reported settlement money, and an Olympic controversy that has everyone talking.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov explore a weekend that showcased two very different Americas: Bad Bunny celebrated unity across the continent, while Donald Trump leaned into culture wars, attacking an Olympic skier for expressing mixed feelings about representing the U.S. and amplifying a racist video of the Obamas. At the same time, Congress is reviewing Epstein files, Ghislaine Maxwell is publicly hinting at clemency deals, and Trump’s allies are facing political scrutiny. They also break down Trump’s economic message ahead of the midterms — from AI-driven growth claims to foreign investment promises — and whether everyday Americans are actually seeing the benefits. Plus, they tackle the skyrocketing cost of NYC private schools, now topping $70,000 a year at elite institutions, and what it means for families navigating a struggling public system.

Jessica Tarlov is joined by Aaron Parnas to break down the growing cracks inside Trump world. Is Trump finally distancing himself from his “shadow president” Stephen Miller as immigration raids spark backlash—even in red states? They dig into the fallout from the Epstein files, the fight over the SAVE Act, and whether anyone will actually face accountability. Plus, Kamala Harris teases her next move, Polymarket pulls a flashy PR stunt, and the Super Bowl halftime show turns into a culture war.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Trump’s signature move: flooding the zone. From a massive Epstein document dump that swallows the news cycle, to Trump inserting himself into active investigations and openly pushing to “nationalize” voting, the noise is the point. Then, they zoom out to Trump’s broader project — remaking Washington in his own image, from cultural institutions to public monuments — and ask whether it’s ideology, ego, or legacy-building. Finally, they look at a very different kind of power: Bad Bunny’s moment, celebrity resistance to Trump’s immigration crackdown, and whether culture can still move politics when politics feels overwhelming.

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down the GOP fallout after fueling MAGA infighting, fresh impeachment buzz around Kristi Noem, and a high-stakes gamble on Tom Homan to placate Democrats. Then they turn to the rollout of “Trump Accounts,” a government-backed investment plan for kids that’s already drawing skepticism over the math, the branding, and who really stands to gain. Plus, the DOJ seizes voter records in Georgia as Trump once again relitigates 2020, while scrutiny intensifies around his health following an Oval Office interview.
