But major questions remain unanswered. Iran has yet to fully confirm the deal, the future of Tehran’s nuclear program is unresolved, and regional tensions involving Israel and Hezbollah are still simmering. In fact, Trump says the full text of the agreement won’t be released until Friday. Scott Galloway, Jessica Tarlov, and special guest Ian Bremmer break down what the next 60 days could look like. They discuss whether this agreement has any realistic chance of holding, and who stands to benefit politically if negotiations succeed — or collapse. They also discuss what Trump’s announcement means heading into the G7 summit in France, and why the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important pressure points in the global economy. Plus: Trump celebrates his 80th birthday by hosting a UFC event on the White House lawn, which is not a sentence that would have made any sense even a very short time ago in America’s 250-year history. Jessica and Scott discuss the cultural significance of this event — and a shocking remark made by one of the participants. When looked at alongside the recent allegations against Graham Platner — the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine — what does this spectacle say about Democrats’ and Republicans’ divergent views of masculinity?

In the wake of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, which saw the New York Knicks mount the largest comeback in Finals history to win the game, Jessica Tarlov gives Scott Galloway an update on Knicks fever from the streets of New York City. Then, Scott and Jessica talk about how the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is showing signs of collapse after yet another round of attacks. President Trump is now threatening to hit Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT.” At the same time, Americans are feeling the economic impact at home. Inflation rose 4.2% in May — the highest monthly increase in three years — and that’s on top of gas prices and summer travel costs surging as the Iran conflict drags on. Scott and Jessica also discuss what is poised to be the biggest IPO in history as SpaceX prepares to go public — potentially creating thousands of new millionaires overnight. But is this IPO actually just a way to leave retail investors holding the bag? Plus: Bill Gates testifies about Jeffrey Epstein before Congress — but behind closed doors — as new reporting reveals the panic over the Epstein files release inside Trump’s White House, and the pressures the administration felt from the MAGA base. The Trump administration also proposes new restrictions tied to mail-in voting and the U.S. Postal Service, setting up another massive legal and political fight ahead of the midterms. Finally, they discuss the World Cup — which begins this week at venues across North America, including in the U.S., where tensions have already arisen between the many international visitors to the country, and the Trump administration’s hardline approach to foreigners. Will the U.S. do a worse job than Russia did? KNICKS IN FIVE!

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov respond to Trump getting loudly booed at the NBA Finals in New York City, before diving into the much bigger political and economic fights shaping the 2026 midterms. A federal judge has blocked Trump’s controversial $100,000 H-1B visa fee, dealing a major blow to one piece of the administration’s broader immigration crackdown. Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to focus voters on affordability heading into the midterms, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries promising economic relief as a top priority if Democrats regain power. But will the Democrats have enough of a substantive plan to really address the needs of working people, and shake their party’s reputation as ineffective? Rather than taking on the cost of living crisis, Republicans appear to be moving in a very different direction. Greg Bovino, Trump’s former commander-at-large of the Border Patrol, is openly considering a 2028 presidential run centered around mass deportations and aggressive nationalist rhetoric. Plus: a lawsuit seeks to block Trump’s planned UFC event on the White House lawn ahead of his 80th birthday. And a Forbes report has revealed that Silicon Valley elites are paying enormous sums not just for escorts, but for companions to discuss AI, crypto, and biohacking with them. What does that say about loneliness, technology, and the wealthy cohort of socially stunted men aiming to shape our future?

The hosts of Raging Moderates, Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov, dissect the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, Donald Trump’s volatile Meet the Press interview, the Democratic Party’s internal crisis over Maine Congressman Graham Plattner’s abuse allegations, and the looming wave of AI IPOs. They critique Trump's foreign policy instability, question both parties’ standards for candidate fitness, and argue against government ownership of tech firms or industry-specific taxation.
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest developments from Congress, as the House advanced a War Powers measure designed to limit Donald Trump’s authority in the region. Most notably, four Republicans broke ranks to support the resolution — raising new questions about whether cracks are finally beginning to emerge inside the GOP. They also unpack the broader political implications of this week’s primary results across Iowa, California, and beyond. Then, they analyze a strange appearance before Congress by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, where some past brawls are remembered. Back in Washington, Trump plans to permanently nominate Todd Blanche as attorney general after Blanche aggressively pursued Trump’s enemies and his agenda while serving as his private personal attorney, and during his time as acting attorney general since Pam Bondi’s departure. Plus: there is controversy surrounding Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s $1.4 billion luxury resort project in Albania. And, a new study finds highly educated American fathers are spending significantly more time on childcare and housework while reducing hours spent at paid jobs — pointing to major shifts in work, family life, and the meaning of masculinity.
