1. GOP IN CHAOS: Vance Turns on Trump After "Extinction-Level" Election

   Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov are live to discuss the fallout from an overwhelming Democratic victory on Election Day — which is being described as a possible “extinction-level event” for the political future of the GOP. After an election that was “too big to rig,” Republicans are now being forced to reckon with just how badly things went wrong. Where does the party go from here? Lees meer

   And the fallout from the election could reach all the way to the Pentagon. As reporting indicates that Trump might be looking to single out a “fall guy” for the Iran war, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has come into focus as a possible sacrificial offering. Will Hegseth face impeachment, be asked to resign — or does he possibly have another job waiting for him in Tennessee?

   The political fallout is hitting Wall Street, as well, as AI stocks took a dive for what was the market’s largest single-day drop in 18 months. Does this signal the end of the data center buildout? If the U.S. economy is all a giant “bet on AI,” what does the overwhelming opposition to it at the polls signal for the future?

   Doctors and nurses were among the beneficiaries of the Democratic wave, with at least six health care professionals taking seats in Congress. This comes as more and more Americans report dissatisfaction with the health care policies of the Trump administration. This puts RFK Jr.’s MAHA movement on the defensive — where does the movement go from here?

   The election also exposed some tensions within the Democratic Party, as progressive candidates running on messages of economic populism seem to validate Bernie Sanders’s approach to policy, but voter referendums in some states restricting transgender rights and implementing voter ID requirements might indicate something very different. Do the results show something more complicated than a simple progressives vs. moderates divide?

   Plus, Scott and Jessica take audience questions about the possible end of the Electoral College, and a surprising …

2. BLUE TSUNAMI! Democrats CRUSH Trump in HISTORIC Election Night

   Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down Tuesday’s historic political earthquake. Lees meer

   The “blue tsunami” we’ve been predicting arrived. Some are calling it the Democrats’ best election night since 2008 — others are looking back even further into American history for parallels. Is this the beginning of the end of the MAGA movement?

   Young men overwhelmingly swung blue. According to the New York Times, men ages 18 to 29 shifted 38 points toward Democrats—a stunning reversal. Scott and Jessica analyze these and other surprising demographic trends that, in some ways, make the 2026 midterm elections the mirror image of the 2024 presidential election.

   As consequence to a night of many historic firsts, Hakeem Jeffries is set to make history and become the first Black speaker. In the first 100 hours, Jeffries is planning to pass legislation to undo Trump’s most unpopular policies. What will Democratic leadership look like?

   Finally, Scott and Jess answer questions from viewers. They discuss the future of the Democratic party, and how party leaders will take on Trump, Musk, and other MAGA figures.

3. Democratic TSUNAMI Predicted on Election Day

   3 november 2026 · 54 min

   Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov go live on Election Day to discuss the latest news and their final predictions for the 2026 Midterms. Lees meer

   While millions of Americans are heading to the polls today, early voting has also outpaced the last midterm cycle in key battleground states. What can we learn from early voting data?

   If Democrats take back the House, Hakeem Jeffries could make history as the first Black speaker. But his party in Congress is still very unpopular — despite specific candidates gaining the edge in individual races. What will Democratic leadership look like if the party takes back Congress? And how will the Democrats form and communicate their policy agenda to a skeptical public.

   As Democrats begin to contemplate the possibility of regaining control in key Congressional committees, reports say that they may already have their sights set on one of Trump’s biggest frenemies: Elon Musk. How serious could these investigations get? And, is there anything that the Dems will be able to do to limit the corruption in the White House?

   Beyond the midterms, another major question is what Trump does next in Iran. But Trump is downplaying the prospect of a return to war, saying he’s “in no rush” to resume strikes as negotiations continue through Qatari mediators. Is Trump really easing up on the war in Iran, or is he pandering to voters before the Midterms?

   As results start coming in tonight, there are a few early bellwethers worth watching. Will these races give us an early indication of the broader national picture?

4. Haley Stevens’ Bombshell Endorsement Could Backfire Big Time

   Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down the latest updates one day out from the midterms. Lees meer

   They start with the November bombshell blindside out of Michigan, where a Democratic unity push in the Senate race has completely unraveled. Could Stevens’ endorsement of Republican nominee Mike Rogers tank Abdul El-Sayed’s chances?

   Next, Trump’s final campaign stops have done little to quell the blue wave polls are predicting. With the last New York Times/Siena poll of the cycle showing Democrats leading in five key Senate battlegrounds, will Trump’s antics be enough to save his party from a sweep?

   In Iowa, Democratic Senate candidate Josh Turek is facing backlash over a new ad taking a hard line on transgender issues. How will Dems react?

   The race for Los Angeles mayor is tightening, with the 2028 Olympic Games taking center stage in the fight. Will Nithya Raman, who previously opposed the city hosting the games, hold onto her lead over Karen Bass?

   With just five days until Election Day, Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov streamed live to break down the most hotly-contested races in the battle for control of Congress — with some new signs that the landscape may be shifting even more in Democrats’ favor. This is also now officially the most expensive midterm election cycle ever, with spending surpassing even past presidential election years.

   In South Carolina, Republican Darline Graham is in a virtual tie with Democrat Annie Andrews. Will the state elect a democrat to the Senate for the first time this century?

   In Georgia, Obama once again got under Trump’s skin when campaigning for Sen.Jon Ossoff and gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms. And in Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad against Democrat Amy Acton backfired in the governor race. Does Acton have a chance, or will Ohio stay red?

   And in Alaska, polling continues to favor Democratic challenger Mary Peltola. But the Republican governor has ordered an investigation into whether Democrats tried to confuse voters by recruiting a Senate candidate with the same name as incumbent Dan Sullivan. Could this investigation tank Democratic chances?

   In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is leading in the polls, but is facing lingering opposition from within his own party — this time it’s from his former primary challenger Haley Stevens and her fiancé. Scott and Jess discuss whether this is a bad sign for the El-Sayed, or if this is media-driven distraction.

   They then touch on updates from Israel’s pivotal election, in which no candidate managed to secure a clear victory. But will whoever emerges as Israel’s next prime minister be able to win over the American public?

   Then, Jay-Z has been announced as next year’s Super Bowl halftime show headliner. Scott and Jessica wonder how this will be received by Republicans — and whether Beyoncé might make a surprise …

6. Trump’s Midterm BLAME GAME Begins — Canada in the Crosshairs

   With Election Day less than a week away, Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas talk through the political stakes and the shifting electoral landscape. Trump is hitting the campaign trail in Texas, South Carolina, and Mississippi to shore up vulnerable Republicans in traditionally deep-red territory, as new polling suggests Senate races that the GOP once considered safe may wind up much more competitive. Lees meer

   As the administration looks for ways to frame the midterms, questions of political accountability are surfacing at home and abroad. Trump’s ambassador to Canada delivered a warning to Ottawa’s leaders about what might happen if the Republicans lose tight Senate races in Michigan and Minnesota.

   Aaron and Jessica also talk about the decision by Trump to grant a U.S. visa to recently-defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro — son of the imprisoned former president Jair Bolsonaro — and also talk about the donor network linked to the Bolsonaros that’s also connected to… Vice President JD Vance.

   Meanwhile, AOC is on the campaign trail in Florida, challenging the GOP’s efforts to brand Democrats as communists while supporting Democratic senate candidate Angie Nixon — whose race in the state is tightening. In Israel, while votes are still being counted, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces an uncertain path to retaining power, as both he and challenger Gadi Eisenkot both sounded triumphant in post-election speeches.

   The family of Alex Pretti continues to demand answers from federal officials, months after ICE agents shot and killed the 37-year-old ICU nurse on the streets of Minneapolis in January. Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas examine what this all means for the limits of Trump’s influence and the choices facing voters.

   Plus, they take listener questions about the Alaska senate race… and Halloween costumes.

7. Obama’s Cheesecake Factory Roast Sends Trump World SPIRALING

   Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov cover key elections, at home and abroad, in the leadup to the U.S. midterm elections. Lees meer

   With Election Day one week away, both parties are bringing out their celebrity firepower. Nicki Minaj is backing Trump and MAGA candidates — and is reportedly being considered for press secretary. Meanwhile, Barack Obama campaigns for Democrats, mocking Trump’s gold-heavy White House renovations. Is the Right feigning outrage over the former president’s “Cheesecake Factory” characterization?

   Beyond the celebrity cameos, around 30 million Americans have already voted, and Democrats are making up a larger share of early voters in key Senate races. Trump is suing states over election rules, threatening election officials and offering $1 million for tipoffs that lead to voter fraud convictions. Despite these efforts, Kalshi odds show Democrats have a 65% chance to take back the Senate. But with seven toss-ups projected, both parties are relying on voter turnout. Will Democratic efforts be enough to deliver the “blue wave” many have predicted?

   Looking abroad, Brazilian incumbent leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva clinched a narrow victory over far-right opponent Flávio Bolsonaro. The result put an end to the wave of conservative wins in Latin America since Trump took office in 2025. Could this signal a change in global politics?

   And in Israel, voters are heading to the polls today in the first election since the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023. Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar Party and former IDF chief-of-staff, is running against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jessica points to the tens of thousands of Israeli expats flying home to vote as a sign the country is ready for a change.

   Finally, JoAnna Mendoza joins the show to talk about her candidacy in Arizona’s 6th District, where she faces a tight race against incumbent Republican Juan Ciscomani. She discusses major issues facing her district, including high cost-of-living and Medicaid c…

9. These Long Shot Candidates Could Flip Red States

   Could Democrats and independents pull off shocking upsets in some of America’s reddest states? Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway sit down with three underdog candidates fighting to challenge Republican power ahead of the midterms. Lees meer

   Gina Hinojosa, the state representative who’s the Democratic candidate for governor, taking on incumbent Republican Greg Abbott in Texas; Former labor leader, mechanic, and Navy veteran Dan Osborn, who’s running as an independent challenging wealthy scion Pete Ricketts in Nebraska; and independent Brian Bengs in deep-red South Dakota, who’s only polling a few points behind incumbent Republican Sen. Mike Rounds.

   From affordability and public education to money in politics and Washington’s dysfunction, these candidates are betting that voters are so ready for something different that they’ll agree to trade in their Red Team or Blue Team jerseys — at least this time. Scott and Jess let the candidates break down their paths to victory, speak to the issues that are propelling them to unlikely competition on the ground in their home states, and get into candid discussion about why these once-overlooked races could have major implications for the balance of power in Washington.

10. Trump Defends Vivek Ramaswamy as Disgusting Ad Sparks GOP Backlash

    23 oktober 2026 · 48 min

    Afspelen
    Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov talk through the latest polls, numbers, and close races 12 days before Election Day. Trump’s approval rating has hit a new low — just 36% among likely voters in the latest NYT/Siena poll. And in South Carolina, a new poll has Republican incumbent Darline Graham with only a 3-point lead over Democratic challenger Dr. Annie Andrews — a state that hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 1998. Trump was on the campaign trail there yesterday. Is this panic — or smart politics? Lees meer

    Scott and Jess also dig into the controversy over Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother, and what it means for the Ohio governor’s race. JD Vance also weighed in, saying he is “disgusted” by Republicans who pushed back on the ad.

    The first Russian diesel tanker under Trump’s deal is said to be leaving for the U.S. on Thursday, after Russia freed a 74-year-old American that had been held imprisoned for four years. And Reuters reports that peace talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. could resume soon. But the Wall Street Journal is now reporting that it was Elon Musk himself who ordered the Starlink slowdown that has significantly hindered Ukraine’s ability to defend itself — despite his earlier public claim that any limits were set by the U.S. military or the president.

    Wednesday’s Michigan Senate debate between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers got heated. El-Sayed hammered Rogers over his ties to Trump and the Iran war, while Rogers attempted to smear El-Sayed by alleging he had connections to the Muslim Brotherhood — accusations El-Sayed has repeatedly denied. How will this race turn out?

    And finally: new polling shows double-digit drops in favorability for “manosphere” figures like Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson among men aged 18 to 30 — the very group who helped deliver to Trump in 2024. Trump, Vance, and the GOP are all now viewed unfavorably by this crucial demographic. What’s b…
