Prof G Media: Raging Moderates

REPLAY: Is Elon Musk Committing War Crimes Against Ukraine?

Jessica Tarlov — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 16:56:58 GMT

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas are back for Raging Perspective with 20 days until the midterms.

The September inflation report is out — and it’s bad news. Consumer prices rose 0.6% for the month, the biggest increase in five months, bringing annual inflation to 3.7%. With tariffs and rising AI investment costs also contributing to price pressures, the Fed could be on track for another rate hike in December. Trump was in Alaska last night. Can Republicans spin this?

Three debates happened this week — in Maine, Georgia, and Iowa — with Republicans distancing themselves from Trump while going on offense against their Democratic opponents. Aaron and Jess talk through some of the closest races.

In Texas, where half a billion dollars has now been spent on the Paxton-Talarico Senate race, the hits keep coming for Ken Paxton. The Wall Street Journal has reported that Paxton celebrated New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with his girlfriend and two Americans who had been indicted on federal healthcare fraud charges and hadn’t returned to the U.S. Is partying with fugitives enough to move Texas voters?

Ukraine is facing a dangerous double blow. Russia is intensifying attacks on its energy infrastructure — and simultaneously, Ukrainian forces are losing partial access to Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet network that has become critical to Ukraine’s battlefield communications and drone operations. The disruption comes amid escalating tensions between Trump and Kyiv, raising questions about whether Trump is using Musk’s technology as leverage. Hegseth was also called a war criminal this week.

Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned as Ambassador to Greece amid allegations, and Katie Zacharia has begun her tenure as White House press secretary. Aaron weighs in on the Guilfoyle allegations and brings up her “burn book.”

Plus, questions from the audience.

Trump’s New Press Secretary Flops During First Briefing

Scott Galloway — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 23:43:31 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov start with a check in on the election map, just a few weeks out from the midterms. Can Democrats trust the polling leads they currently see in the Senate races in Maine, Michigan, and Texas?

Trump is doubling down on his decision to temporarily lift sanctions on Russian diesel, despite pushback from Republicans and European allies. The plan has Russia supplying around 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, with increasingly larger amounts to follow — but the total proposed over six months would cover just about 9 days of U.S. diesel consumption. Is this really about lowering prices — or is something else going on?

Ukrainian drone strikes hit multiple data centers belonging to Russian internet giant Yandex, knocking them offline. This led some to suggest Russian social media bot activity had been disrupted — but the traffic that dropped was largely automated search crawlers, not Kremlin-linked disinformation. Troll farms, social media accounts, and paid inf…

Trump Moves to Fund Putin’s War While Betraying Ukraine — with Sarah Longwell

Jessica Tarlov — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 21:21:59 GMT

Jessica Tarlov is joined by The Bulwark’s Sarah Longwell, host of the Focus Group podcast, and NYT bestselling author of How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time — for a wide-ranging conversation 22 days before the midterms.

They open with Ukraine and Russia, where Trump is claiming there is now an “energy ceasefire” — even as senators from both parties call on him to reverse plans to temporarily lift sanctions on Russian diesel. Sarah breaks down the current state of the Ukraine war, whether Trump really thought a Putin energy deal would go over well domestically, and what Trump’s weekend comments that Ukraine needs a new president mean for the relationship with Kyiv and America’s allies.

Sarah also talks about how all of this information means an opportunity for Democrats, and whether they can capitalize on it in the midterms.

Trump’s Candidate Says Canada Is "Not Our Enemy" — Three Weeks After Calling the Tariffs Necessary

Scott Galloway — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:15 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open Thursday with the Michigan Senate race, where Republican nominee Mike Rogers has released a new ad declaring that Canada is “not our enemy” and calling for an end to the tariffs — a sharp reversal from his position just weeks ago when he called those same tariffs “necessary.” Rogers is now trailing Abdul El-Sayed in a race that could decide overall Senate control. Is this enough to convince Michigan voters — or is the flip too late and too transparent?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a trip to San Diego this week to welcome home the USS Abraham Lincoln, working out with Marines in a clip that went viral. The visit comes after Hegseth dismissed reports of food shortages and crew fatigue during the Iran war deployment as “completely misrepresented.” Could this election’s October surprise be military action in Iran?

Iowa Democratic candidate Rob Sand heads into the final stretch of the governor’s race with a double-digit lead: a new poll has him a…

REPLAY: Trump’s Teasing a Midterm Surprise Tied to Project 2025 — Here's Why That Should Worry Everyone

Jessica Tarlov — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 16:52:05 GMT

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas are back for Raging Perspective with three weeks until the midterms.

Trump is teasing a “midterm surprise” that he says could make history — hinting that OMB Director and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is behind a major announcement coming in the next few weeks. This comes as 42% of Trump’s 2024 Latino voters now say they’re disappointed or regret their vote. Aaron breaks down what the surprise might be, what the Latino voter shift means for the final stretch, and his concerns about the possibilities of AI generated content impacting the election.

France is in its third week of escalating student protests over the state of public schools. Yesterday’s demonstrations were among the most violent yet — the Prime Minister has suspended high school classes for the rest of the week, and police have fired tear gas and water cannons at students blockading schools. Any takeaways for American politics?

The first of four Maine Senate debates in just ten days took place last night. Republican Senator Susan Collins and Democrat Troy Jackson went head to head on immigration, tariffs, and rising fuel costs. Aaron scores the debate and previews what he thinks might happen in November.

Abdul El-Sayed is now distancing himself from Hasan Piker after campaigning with the controversial streamer throughout the primary — reportedly calling Piker directly and warning that his rhetoric was costing votes, asking him to tone it down. Smart move or too late?

New leaked audio from a Paxton fundraiser has the Republican Senate nominee blaming the Iran war and rising gas prices for his campaign struggles — telling donors that affordability is “by far our biggest problem” and admitting “I don’t make the decisions.” Is Paxton already playing the blame game?

And finally: Christian YouTuber Gabe Poirot went viral on Fox News for describing his 18 days in heaven during a coma after a 2021 skateboard crash, including his experience meeting Jesus. Aaron and Jess react.

Plus, questions from the audience.

Trump Says Iran Should “Take Out” Los Angeles in Shocking Rant

Scott Galloway — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 22:36:47 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open Tuesday with Trump’s Nebraska rally — where the president made shocking comments about the Iran war that immediately drew national attention and outrage. Trump also mentioned one of his favorite topics — our own Jessica Tarlov. At the same event, Trump unveiled a new executive order aimed at lowering diesel prices. Will this be enough to sway farmers and other Republicans hit hard by soaring diesel prices — or does it fall short of what the inflation-frustrated base actually needs?

Trump’s MAGA Inc. Super PAC has now agreed to pay for the repurposed Trump campaign ads that have been airing nationwide, which had been marked as paid for with taxpayer money — more than $10 million worth of ads on cable and network TV since September. Is this a rare admission of defeat, or damage control?

The main Democratic Senate Super PAC has been ramping up Epstein-related attack ads, with AdImpact counting 69 Epstein ads this cycle worth more than $36.6 million. N…

Republicans Brace for Historic Losses as Trump Panics and Bribes Voters

Scott Galloway — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 20:39:31 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the final month before the midterms with the big picture: Kalshi has Democrats at 64% to win majorities in both the House and Senate, and new polling shows Democrats leading gubernatorial races in Republican-held states including Iowa, Ohio, and even Texas.

Trump has been out rallying — promising “nearly $100” to 20 million seniors on Medicare, and teasing a “big surprise” in November. Is the momentum firmly behind Democrats — and what exactly is $100 supposed to do for seniors? Scott adds just how bad an idea it is to hand out money that creates more debt for the country and the next generation of Americans.

The Iran war just reached British soil. The U.S. has abruptly pulled all B-1 bombers from a UK air base after commanders received urgent intelligence about an Iran-backed plot against the facility. British police had already arrested five men in vans near the base — later released on bail but still under investigation — and a dual British-Ira…

Canada and Europe Are Teaming Up Against Trump — Here's What That Actually Means

Scott Galloway — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 23:02:39 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open Thursday with the escalating trade war, now being waged on multiple fronts simultaneously. Trump’s outright ban on select Canadian goods — including alcoholic beverages — went into effect earlier this week, after Trump called Canada “one of the worst countries in the entire world.” For the third time in under two years, courts have been asked to rule on Trump’s tariffs — this latest challenge covering over 99% of U.S. imports. Jess and Scott break down the legal challenge, why Trump keeps trying despite repeated court losses, and what the constant legal uncertainty does to companies and consumers trying to operate in the U.S.

Meanwhile, the EU and Canada are reportedly planning to announce a sweeping new partnership at the end of October, covering digital trade, critical minerals stockpiling, and more — a direct response to Trump’s trade war. Is this a winning strategy?

Yesterday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used his “State of the Force” address…

REPLAY: Ken Paxton Caught on Hot Mic Trash-Talking Trump

Jessica Tarlov — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:08:36 GMT

Jessica’s book I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends is out now — pick it up here: https://sites.prh.com/idisagree

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas are back for Raging Perspective with 35 days until the midterms.

They open with a bombshell recording obtained by the New York Times: Ken Paxton, the Republican Senate nominee in Texas and longtime Trump ally, is privately admitting that Trump may be hurting him and other Republicans politically. In the recording, Paxton says his numbers — and everyone else’s — dropped after the recent Trump-led GOP “midterm convention” in Dallas. How bad is this for Paxton — and what does it mean for the Texas Senate race?

Former special counsel Jack Smith testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, as Senate Republicans hoped to secure a public humiliation of Trump’s political enemies. But a moment between Smith and Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) went viral — and not for the reasons Republicans wanted. Aaron and Jessica react, with an eye toward the expression on Katie Britt’s face.

Trump is working overtime to make “superintelligence” a thing. All executive branch departments and agencies are now required to use that phrase instead of “artificial intelligence,” a change announced after a White House lunch with AI — or is it SI? — leaders. The tech leaders signed what Trump called a “morally binding” agreement to establish AI safety standards — a one-page, voluntary pact calling for four layers of controls and auditing, including internal monitoring, outside evaluators, and independent board oversight. Aaron breaks down why Trump is doubling down on AI when it’s becoming increasingly unpopular. Also, the U.S. launched its own branded AI chatbot: America.gov. Aaron shares what he’s learned from the site so far.

Plus, a quick check in on the situation in Iran, and Jessica and Aaron take listener questions on Texas, immigration hearings, and Kristi Noem’s divorce.

Did Trump Just Throw Away the Best Chance to End the Iran War?

Scott Galloway — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 22:58:46 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov talk about the Iran war’s growing economic toll. Trump is once again claiming the U.S. will win in Iran — even as he publicly rejected Tehran’s recent offer to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile oil prices have soared to over $100 a barrel, up from $72 in February before the war began. In the bond market, the ten-year Treasury yield is at its highest level in two decades. With Trump now planning to spend the next 30 days campaigning for Republicans in traditionally red states, he’ll have to balance political priorities at home with a war that’s increasingly hitting Americans in their wallets.

The Trump administration’s Education Department has officially rescinded the Biden-era interpretation of Title IX that included protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. Education Secretary Linda McMahon says the move will reduce confusion for parents, students, and educational institutions. Does this actually change much on the ground — or is it…

Trump’s War on Canada Escalates as New Bans Take Effect

Scott Galloway — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 23:02:17 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open the week with the Canada trade war entering a new phase: outright bans on Canadian goods including alcoholic beverages, motorcycles, and whey kick in tomorrow. Unlike the earlier tariffs, these bans may not hit the Canadian economy as hard — so what’s the intended effect, and does Canada have any reason to come to the table?

Meanwhile, Dan Scavino and other notable Republicans are posting AI-generated videos online at a moment when Americans are increasingly worried about AI. Is that helping Republicans — or hurting them?

Trump hosted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for dinner on Sunday night, after an appeals court ruling that the Trump administration could block Anthropic from Pentagon contracts. They also discuss Trump’s Oval Office announcement today about a new steel plant being built in Iowa. Scott and Jess talk about what kind of political posturing is going on, and why these moves will do little to make real change in the economy.

Over the weeken…

REPLAY: Trump Launches His Own “Trump TV” After Banning Major Networks

Jessica Tarlov — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 18:06:22 GMT

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas are back for Raging Perspective with 39 days until the midterms.

With mortgage rates hitting 7%, diesel prices at historic highs, and gas up 27% year-on-year, the affordability crisis is now front and center in the final stretch — and a growing number of Republicans, including Senate hopefuls in Michigan and Iowa, are publicly breaking with Trump over the Iran war, rising prices, immigration operations, and the questions around funding for Don Jr.’s wedding after-party. Aaron and Jessica debate whether voters will actually buy a last-minute pivot from candidates who followed Trump blindly for years.

The Supreme Court has also just cleared the Trump administration to use sensitive federal data to help states identify people deemed ineligible to vote; Aaron and Jess discuss the possible impacts and why this ruling isn’t that surprising.

Days after banning CNN, Politico, and MSNOW from the White House, the administration launched “Trump TV” — a 24/7 YouTube stream drawing comparisons to state media in China and North Korea, with tiny ratings so far. A federal court ordered Trump to reverse the press ban, and reporters from the three outlets were allowed back into the White House yesterday — but CNN and MSNOW were then denied access to cover guest arrivals at the Xi state dinner the same night. Where does press freedom go from here?

On the Xi state dinner itself: protesters were outside, tech CEOs filled the room, and Trump asked guests if anyone wanted to see the ballroom construction.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has revealed he has considered the remote possibility of a U.S. invasion, following the escalation of Trump’s trade war and increasing hostility from Washington. What does it say that the leader of America’s closest neighbor is speaking about this publicly?

AOC told the New York Times this week that she’ll decide after the midterms whether to run for president in 2028 — and that she’s aware being a Latina woman could impact her electability. Aaron breaks down the interview, and outlines her potential options.

And finally: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker publicly revealed this week that he’s lost 80 pounds on a GLP-1 medication. They discuss the buzz around Pritzker’s presidential ambitions and the general chances for state governors.

PLUS: Jess and Aaron take listener questions.

Trump Meets Xi, But China Has Never Been Stronger — with Alice Han

Scott Galloway — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 23:07:56 GMT

Scott Galloway is joined today by Alice Han for a deep dive into one of the most consequential diplomatic events of Trump’s second term: Chinese President Xi Jinping’s first state visit to the United States in nearly a decade.

Trump personally welcomed Xi at Andrews Air Force Base — the first U.S. president since JFK to receive a foreign counterpart there — rolling out the full diplomatic spectacle of a state dinner and red carpet welcome. Ahead of Xi’s arrival, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the U.S. and China have extended their trade truce until January.

But underneath the pageantry are much more consequential questions. Alice gives her high-level read on the summit: what Xi actually came to Washington to get, what Trump was looking for, and how much the balance of power between the two countries has shifted since Trump’s first term — when China has since become a major player in AI, EVs, robotics, chips, and space. They also talk through international relations and …

The Canada Trade War Could Hand Democrats Michigan's Senate Seat And Republicans Know It — with Abdul El-Sayed

Scott Galloway — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 01:19:02 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov start with the biggest headlines of the day, starting with the Canada trade war, which is now having direct consequences for Republicans in the Senate races that will decide chamber control. As Vice President JD Vance stumps in red districts, Kalshi currently puts the odds of Democrats sweeping both the House and Senate at 61%.

The $111 billion Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger has cleared its last major hurdle, with the company and a coalition of state attorneys general led by California’s Rob Bonta reaching a settlement on the antitrust lawsuit that had held up the deal. CEO David Ellison plans to close within approximately two weeks. Was this outcome inevitable — and what does it mean for media consolidation?

Then, Scott and Jess are joined by Abdul El-Sayed, who is running to become Michigan’s next U.S. Senator, bringing years of public health experience including leading the Detroit Health Department and serving as director of Wayne County’s …

Trump’s War on the Press Backfires — And the Networks Fight Back

Scott Galloway — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 22:57:29 GMT

I Disagree by Jessica Tarlov is out now!
Order it here: https://sites.prh.com/idisagree

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov open a packed week for Trump both foreign and domestic. Trump addresses the 81st UN General Assembly tomorrow, with meetings also planned with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Later this week, Chinese President Xi Jinping visits the White House for a state dinner with a guest list that includes Tim Cook, Sam Altman, and Jensen Huang. And Trump is claiming he has closed a deal with Denmark giving the U.S. “permanent control over security and all other needs” in Greenland — expected to be signed at the UN this week. What should we be watching?

Meanwhile, Trump has banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House, accusing them of reporting “fiction and lies.” The three outlets are now suing for access — and today, major TV networks declined White House pool duties in response.

A new House Ethics complaint is accusing Representative La…

Trump Loses It Over Canada’s New European Alliance

Scott Galloway — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 13:01:02 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov take the stage to break down the biggest stories shaping the road to the 2026 midterms — from the growing political backlash over AI, including the unlikely alliance between Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon, to Trump’s escalating trade fight with Canada and his new threat of tariffs against Europe over Canada’s push for closer ties with the EU.

They also dig into Democratic strategy, gerrymandering, election security, and what voters are telling us about the political landscape heading into the midterms.

Then, Jessica goes inside her new book, I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends, and shares what she’s learned about having political disagreements without destroying the relationships that matter most — including a difficult on-air exchange with Greg Gutfeld and how to handle that inevitable argument with your loved ones.

REPLAY: Carney Snubs Trump as Canada Builds a New Alliance With Europe

Jessica Tarlov — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 16:53:25 GMT

Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas sit down to talk about the latest political news — and celebrate the publication of Jessica’s new book I DISAGREE — available now! Get your copy: https://sites.prh.com/idisagree

They start with the U.S.-Canada trade war showing no signs of resolution. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Europe this week pushing for a “unique alliance” between Canada and the EU. They break down what message that sends and what it changes for the longer-term U.S.-Canada relationship.

Voting is now officially underway in North Carolina, but the legal fight over mail-in ballots isn’t over. The Supreme Court has blocked Trump’s plan to have the U.S. Postal Service screen and potentially withhold mail-in ballots, in a brief unsigned opinion noting the plan was likely unlawful. Trump responded by attacking the justices on social media, writing: “These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court, they are merely a shell of their original selves.” Aaron breaks down the ruling and the state of voter restriction heading into November.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has introduced articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging he waged the Iran war illegally, ignored a congressional order to withdraw, and caused unnecessary civilian casualties. Kalshi currently puts the likelihood of Hegseth leaving his job for any reason by December 1st at 29%. Massie’s term is ending this year, after he lost his primary. How bold an action is this really?

Republican lawmakers are pushing back on Trump’s recent pledge to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain their majority after November. Aaron breaks down why it’s actually politically useful for Republicans to distance themselves from this idea right now.

New details have emerged about Donald Trump Jr.’s recent wedding in the Bahamas — including an after-party paid for by a Russian businessman. Aaron breaks down what we know about who Umar Kremlev is and what his connection to the Trump family means.

And finally: after pressure from venue owners, Macklemore has been dropped as an opening act for Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour. The pressure came after Macklemore said “Free Palestine” onstage. The internet has a lot of thoughts. Aaron and Jessica react.

Trump says AI Danger is a Hoax, Newsom’s 2028 Misstep, and Mitch McConnell Returns

Prof G Admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 21:42:32 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov start with one of the biggest campaign issues of the midterm cycle. Trump is calling the idea that AI could destroy humanity a “hoax” like climate change, arguing the only guardrails needed are a “STRONG AND SMART (HIGH IQ!) PRESIDENT.” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is aligning with Trump, taking a live call from the president during a podcast taping. Meanwhile, former President Obama is calling on Democrats to move AI oversight to the top of their agenda, and even Elon Musk is asking for more industry oversight. AI stocks have been falling amid mounting safety warnings. Is the bubble bursting?

Looking ahead to 2028: California Governor Gavin Newsom told CNN’s Jake Tapper that if Kamala Harris decides to run again, he’ll stand down. Does this reflect a genuine lack of momentum for the 2028 field — or top-notch political maneuvering?

Finally, Senator Mitch McConnell returned to the Senate yesterday to cast his first vote after 13 weeks of absence following his…

Trump Downplays AI Backlash as it Looms Over the Midterms — with Dana Bash

Scott Galloway — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 23:31:46 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov are joined by Dana Bash — CNN’s chief political correspondent, anchor of Inside Politics and State of the Union, and author of the new book The Elections That Changed the World: Fifteen Pivotal Moments That Shaped How We Live — available September 22nd.

They begin with the midterm landscape, 50 days out. A new poll has Democrats leading Republicans 42% to 30% in enthusiasm to vote — a significant gap. Scott, Jessica, and Dana talk about whether Dems can keep this momentum into November, and whether Mitch McConnell will finally return to Congress now that it’s back in session.

Anthropic’s CEO called for a slowdown in AI development over the weekend, and a new and unlikely alliance has emerged. Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon are teaming up to advocate for a slowdown in AI development — making opposition to generative AI, Big Tech, and data center buildout among the starkest bipartisan issues of our era. Dana breaks down how growing fears about AI and the…

Trump’s Desperate $5,000 Bribe to Save the GOP Could Blow Up in His Face

Scott Galloway — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 23:24:34 GMT

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov mark Raging Moderates’ two-year anniversary with a packed episode on one of the most significant news days of the year.

On the eve of the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks — and the one-year mark since the Charlie Kirk assassination — Trump and the GOP gathered for night one of the first-ever RNC midterm convention. Trump used the stage to make a remarkable promise: a $5,000 “Trump dividend” for every American adult if Republicans hold onto Congress.

Scott and Jess break down night one, react to the surprise cameo by Democratic Sen. John Fetterman, and weigh in on James Talarico doing counter-programming on Fox News, where the Democratic hope of Texas reversed some of his past controversial positions.

Also, it’s the two-year anniversary of the launch of Raging Moderates. Scott and Jess revisit some takes from their very first episode. Two years in, how are they feeling about the show and where America stands compared to where it was when the…
