Cast your vote HERE: https://wbby.co/57448N Jessica Tarlov sits down with Tommy Vietor — co-host of Pod Save America, Pod Save the World, and the former National Security Council spokesperson under President Obama — to unpack the chaos behind Donald Trump’s so-called “ceasefire” with Iran. Trump is claiming victory — but on the ground, missiles are still flying, Israel continues strikes in Lebanon, and Iran is tightening control over the Strait of Hormuz. So what, exactly, was achieved? Tommy breaks down whether the deal was flawed from the start, what it signals about U.S. credibility abroad, and whether Trump is opening himself up to “weak on Iran” attacks at home. Then, the political fallout: Democrats clash over Israel and Gaza as the Democratic National Committee faces deep divisions on foreign policy, a growing fight over engaging influencers like Hasan Piker to win back young voters, and new scrutiny surrounding JD Vance’s role in international negotiations. And back home, the race to replace Gavin Newsom takes a dramatic turn after Trump endorses Steve Hilton in the California governor's race — a move that could reshape the field in unexpected ways.

  • Did Trump Just Give Iran the Win on a Silver Platter?

    Did Trump Just Give Iran the Win on a Silver Platter?

    Big news! We’ve just been nominated for a Webby Award for Best News & Politics Podcast! Now it’s time to bring it home — and we need your help. Cast your vote HERE: ⁠https://wbby.co/57448N The U.S. and Iran agreed to a fragile two-week ceasefire, brokered by Pakistan, just hours before President Trump’s threatened strike. Iran has pledged to keep the Strait of Hormuz open — but reports suggest it may demand payment in cryptocurrency. Israel continues major strikes in Lebanon, and drone and missile activity across the Gulf highlight how tenuous the pause really is. Markets have rallied on the news, but the real question remains: did the U.S. gain leverage, or did Iran get what it wanted on a silver platter? Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the ceasefire, analyze the claims from both sides, and discuss the potential path toward a longer-term deal. #trump #uspolitics #politics #scottgalloway #jessicatarlov #republicans #gop #republicanparty #democrats #democraticparty #IranWar #PeacePlan #Pakistan #bankruptcy #Iran #StraitofHormuz Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov Follow Prof G, @profgalloway Follow Raging Moderates, @RagingModeratesPod Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RagingModerates Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Trump Threatens to WIPE OUT Iran and Triggers 25th Amendment Calls (ft. Katie Phang)

    Trump Threatens to WIPE OUT Iran and Triggers 25th Amendment Calls (ft. Katie Phang)

    Big news! We’ve just been nominated for a Webby Award for Best News & Politics Podcast! Now it’s time to bring it home — and we need your help. Cast your vote HERE: https://wbby.co/57448N Jessica Tarlov sits down with attorney and MeidasTouch host Katie Phang to break down Trump’s latest escalation with Iran — his 8:00 P.M. deadline, threats to strike civilian infrastructure, and the very real question of whether this is brinkmanship... or something much worse. They talk through what happens next, whether there’s any credible off-ramp, and how seriously to take Iran’s reported 10-point peace proposal. Plus, Trump goes even further on NATO, Vice President JD Vance heads to Hungary to boost Viktor Orbán, and the MAGA reaction — from Tucker Carlson to Megyn Kelly — shows just how fractured the right is at this moment. Meanwhile, calls for the 25th Amendment are getting louder — and they're not just coming from Democrats. And finally, Katie and Jessica break down historian Timothy Snyder's theory about Trump's latest military budget... and why it might be an attempt at a coup.
