- 48 minutes 8 secondsWhat Platner’s Exit Means for the Future of the Democratic Party (ft. Brian Tyler Cohen)
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?

9 July 2026, 10:16 pm - 50 minutes 39 secondsPlatner Bombshell Throws Democrats Into Chaos
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?

7 July 2026, 10:30 pm - 46 minutes 3 secondsTrump's Election Plot Gets More Dangerous as His World Cup Intervention Leaves Everyone Stunned
Jessica Tarlov is joined by Marc Elias, America's foremost election attorney and founder of Democracy Docket, to talk about the recent Supreme Court term, Trump’s efforts at voter suppression, the throughline of corruption in the administration, and more.
First, they discuss Trump's rain-delayed America 250th speech, which he delivered late Saturday night in D.C., after severe thunderstorms forced crowds to shelter in nearby federal buildings. Trump used the moment to push for the passage of the SAVE America Act, a bill he claims would end election fraud — and, saying the quiet part out loud, deliver Republicans 100 years of victories. Marc breaks down what the bill actually does, and why Trump is still pushing it hard enough to torpedo the housing bill in its favor.
Then, Marc reflects on two Supreme Court cases that he helped litigate — he scored a significant victory in Watson v. RNC — a case to determine the legality of certain mail-in ballots. But the Court’s ruling in NRSC v. FEC, which struck down coordination limits between political parties and campaigns, is a major blow. Why did this Supreme Court so readily overturn precedent in this case?
Marc gives his thoughts about potential reforms needed to safeguard the legitimacy of the Supreme Court as an institution. And, the confusion about the health of Senator Mitch McConnell, coming so soon after the monthslong disappearance (and sudden reemergence) of Rep. Thomas Kean, leads Jessica and Marc to talk about how to better “keep track” of members of Congress.
Finally, Trump claims he personally lobbied FIFA president Gianni Infantino to intervene in the automatic red card suspension for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, clearing him to play against Belgium in today's World Cup last-16 match. What is the appropriate patriotic response to this intervention?

7 July 2026, 12:02 am - 49 minutes 6 secondsAfter 250 Years, Trump is Killing the American Dream
Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to [email protected]. We may feature yours on the show!
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov celebrate America's 250th birthday… but the mood is complicated. The U.S. economy added just 57,000 jobs in June while inflation continues to outpace wages, and July 4th revelers on the National Mall are facing 100-degree heat with coolers and folding chairs banned.
Despite a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling striking down his executive order on birthright citizenship, Trump is already calling on Congress to finish what the Court wouldn't let him start. Meanwhile, MAGA voices seem dedicated to finding obscure ways to implement the anti-immigrant plan anyway, with VP Vance calling the SCOTUS decision "preposterous."
Trump also announced that he will not be renewing the USMCA trade pact, the very deal he signed with Canada and Mexico in 2018. What does scrapping it mean for North American trade stability, and what does it tell us about how Trump thinks about his own legacy?
Meanwhile, OpenAI is reportedly proposing that the U.S. government take a 5% stake in in the company, which has recently delayed its plans to IPO, while Palantir CEO Alex Karp is publicly arguing that the expensive frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic are already becoming too expensive for many companies using them.
Plus, in honor of America's birthday and Canadian patriotism — which is apparently surging, thanks to Trump — we wish you all a belated Happy Canada Day!

2 July 2026, 11:19 pm - 51 minutes 26 secondsTrump Loses on Birthright Citizenship as America’s 250th Celebrations Flop
Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to [email protected]. We may feature yours on the show!
Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the Supreme Court's final decision day of the term, including the long-awaited ruling on Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, plus decisions on transgender athletes and campaign finance coordination limits between parties and campaigns.
Then, they head west: Colorado's state Supreme Court just struck down a set of Democratic-backed ballot initiatives that would have paused the state's independent redistricting commission. Today, Colorado holds primaries where several Democratic incumbents face challenges from their left flank, echoing the dynamics seen in New York's recent primary. Jess and Scott also check in on the current status of Democrats across the country in this year’s midterms.
Plus, thoughts on America's 250th birthday week, the sparsely attended “Great American State Fair” celebration so far, and reports that the White House may issue 250 pardons to mark the occasion. And finally, Scott and Jessica talk about the biggest and most urgent foreign policy story of the day: the World Cup. Will Team Sweden triumph over the French? Scott lays it all on the line.

30 June 2026, 11:15 pm - 1 hour 1 minuteWhy Mamdani’s Socialist Wing Has Democrats Spooked as SCOTUS Expands Trump’s Power
Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to [email protected]. We may feature yours on the show!
Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the latest escalation in Iran, and whether the Trump administration still has a coherent strategy in the Middle East with a ceasefire that is rapidly breaking down.
Next, they unpack the major decisions coming out of the Supreme Court, including cases around mail-in ballots, the Temporary Protection Status of over 300,000 Haitians, and two opinions that further expand Trump’s authority to dismiss federal regulators (not including the Federal Reserve board of governors, apparently).
Plus, Scott and Jessica talk about Zohran Mamdani’s meteoric rise in the Democratic party, and his latest political win — a rent freeze for the rent-controlled apartments in New York City. What can we learn from the success of three DSA-affiliated and Mamdani-backed candidates in Congressional primaries? With antisemitism on the rise, and Democratic lawmakers facing threats and public confrontations, is Zohran’s politics putting more fuel on the fire?
And, Scott and Jessica reflect on the career of Bill Maher, who received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

30 June 2026, 12:04 am - 42 minutes 40 secondsWhat Trump Really Thinks About His Legacy (ft. Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman)
Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to [email protected]. We may feature yours on the show!
Jessica Tarlov is joined by reporters Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman, authors of the brand new explosive book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump. They talk about what it is really like inside the Trump White House, the unprecedented ways in which Trump wields presidential power, and how their monumental yearslong investigative reporting effort led to this exposé full of shocking, never-before-reported stories.
They begin with Jonathan and Maggie’s reporting on the start of the Iran war, and the unbelievable confrontation that took place in the White House Situation Room that immediately splintered Trump’s cabinet.
They dive into the Epstein saga, and what the administration’s crisis management meetings were like behind the scenes — including the abandoned effort by the DOJ to release their own Epstein files database. That never made it out into the world, due to some of the contents being about Trump himself.Plus: Jonathan Maggie talk about how they determined who and what to believe when members of the administration started turning on each other. How loyal are his supposedly loyal aides? Will Trump really leave office in 2029, or is he building a fortified bunker underneath the new ballroom? And, given the changing role of print journalism in the age of TikTok and political influencers, what will the media landscape — and politics in America — even look like… post-Trump?

25 June 2026, 11:08 pm - 49 minutes 12 secondsDid Trump Ruin the American Experiment? (ft. Sharon McMahon)
Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov
Jessica Tarlov is joined by America’s government teacher Sharon McMahon (https://instagram.com/sharonsaysso) — author of We Are Mighty and the woman behind the The Preamble on Substack— for a check-in on the American experiment.
First, the Trump administration says progress is being made in negotiations with Iran, but Tehran is already pushing back on key claims made by Vice President JD Vance. After tensions flared again in the Strait of Hormuz, questions persist about whether the Trump administration secured a lasting agreement, or simply handed Iran new leverage.
Jessica and Sharon also discuss Zohran Mamdani's growing influence in New York politics, and the rise of democratic socialist candidates in major cities across America. In one Congressional race, Mayor Mamdani detached himself from the allies of Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and from longtime incumbents, to endorse a controversial candidate whose past views have come under fire. Will this widen the divide within the Democratic Party?
Plus: explosive new reporting has exposed former DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s affiliation with a strange religious group — which many former members have called a cult. Sharon and Jessica talk about the insidious influence of religious groups on our elected officials — such as the overt Christian nationalism of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Finally, they discuss what America's 250th birthday celebration should really represent, and why Sharon believes that in order to come back from Trump, we all must decide that the era of "not knowing" is over.

Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov
Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the latest updates in the negotiations between Iran and the United States, with Vice President JD Vance at the helm. After Iran once again threatened to close off shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, and President Trump responded with threats of renewed military action, Vance says Tehran has agreed to allow nuclear inspectors into the country. Is this a genuine breakthrough — or just another fragile pause in a conflict that refuses to end?
They also discuss the resignation of Keir Starmer, Britain’s Labour prime minister, which came auspiciously at the ten-year anniversary of the Brexit referendum. Then, Jessica and Scott discuss the revelations and questions surrounding Senator Ruben Gallego, who is alleged to have used PAC funds for personal use.
And, as the Obama Presidential Center opens in Chicago to great ceremony, Scott and Jessica offer their reflections on Barack Obama’s legacy, Michelle Obama’s skills as an orator, and Scott reveals who’s on his fantasy “future spouse” shortlist.

22 June 2026, 11:48 pm - 42 minutes 20 secondsTrump Signs Iran “Deal” — and GOP Hawks Absolutely Hate It
Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov
Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway dive into the newly released details about the “memorandum of understanding” that President Trump has signed with Iran, purportedly ending the monthslong conflict, and launching a new chapter in U.S.-Iran relations. The agreement includes at least $300 billion in funding for Iran's reconstruction and economic development, a reopening of trade and shipping routes, and a framework for future negotiations.
But major questions remain. The deal does not address Iran's ballistic missile program, its conventional military forces, or the broader regional tensions involving Israel and Hezbollah. Scott and Jessica break down what's actually in the deal, why Iran ultimately agreed to it, what it means for Israel and America's allies, and whether this will be a lasting peace or simply a temporary pause in the fighting.
Plus: new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's first major policy meeting took place, with some noteworthy differences from his predecessor Jerome Powell. Are interest rate hikes still on the table?
And finally, both Scott and Jessica have a case of World Cup fever. They talk about reporting that fans of Scotland have taken over Boston and depleted some of the city’s most important natural resources.

18 June 2026, 11:36 pm - 48 minutes 26 secondsTrump Loses the Iran War, Weakens America — as Newsom and Vance Make 2028 Moves
Get your tickets now for our live show at 92NY: https://www.92ny.org/event/scott-galloway-and-jessica-tarlov
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest developments and revelations about the Iran deal, as Tehran publicly confirms key details, sending Iran hawks spiraling. The agreement would end military operations, reopen critical trade routes, and lift the naval blockade. But there are major absences when it comes to controlling Iran’s nuclear development and enrichment programs — which was a principal justification for the war in the first place. Also, given that the deal reportedly both ends U.S. sanctions and pledges hundreds of billions of dollars toward rebuilding Iran… is this an even WORSE deal than Obama’s JCPOA, which Trump often calls “terrible”?
Plus, California Governor Gavin Newsom, one of the leading Democratic contenders for 2028, publicly announced that both he and his wife are under investigation by Trump’s DOJ. According to Newsom, he and his family have been visited by federal investigators, who he claims are searching for a crime.
Also: Vice President JD Vance continues to try and shape his post-Trump identity, as he kicks off a media tour publicizing his new book about his faith journey as a convert to Catholicism. And, the United Kingdom moves closer to banning social media for children under 16. Is this a good move — or are the problems facing young people today far bigger than just the algorithms?
