Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov · What Platner’s Exit Means for the Future of the Democratic Party (ft. Brian Tyler Cohen) · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

I think Trump has been really instructive in showing that a lot of the barriers, processes, institutions, norms are not as sacrosanct as we once were led to believe they are. matched

Now, he's barreled through a lot of those obstacles for his own personal benefit, for his own enrichment. matched

I mean, the fact that he can just matched

bulldoze the East wing of the white house showed that maybe what, what Democrats would view as like, you know, a commission and, and all of this stuff that would probably take years and Trump can do it in five minutes had showed that like has shown that perhaps we are a little bit too deferential, um, uh, to, to norms and processes and procedures. matched

But I think we have to do it in a virtuous way. matched

Um, matched

Which, look, I don't think there's anybody on the left who is looking to barrel through these institutions so that they can also gain billions of dollars and build a shrine to themselves on the other side of the White House. matched

So I don't think that's going to be a problem anyway. matched

But just being in government, not to protect the institutions of government, but to deliver outcomes for people, I think has to be our North Star. matched

And so whether it's on... matched

combating climate change, whether it's on expanding health care so that everybody has health care in this country, whether it's on expanding voting rights or everybody has the right to vote, even as that right seems to be shrinking right now, or even on delivering some accountability for the blatant corruption that we're seeing on a daily basis right now. matched

My argument here is that Democrats have to finally learn to wield power in a way that we haven't before because we've seen Republicans abuse it and we've seen Democrats shy away from it. matched

And so that asymmetry is so vast. matched

that it puts us in a position where Merrick Garland doesn't get an appointment on the Supreme Court because they've changed the rules for a year, only up until the point that Amy Coney Barrett gets appointed to the Supreme Court while votes are being cast. matched

And so we need people who are willing to actually exercise power, not be so deferential to institutions that in effect, we just entrenched the same status quo that so many people showed up to vote against in these last few elections. matched

Yeah, so I think the biggest thing is the extent to which he has used the federal government to enrich himself. matched

I think that is what denigrates trust or erodes trust the most in our institutions and in the ability for the government to serve its people. matched

I mean, Trump is basically using our taxpayer dollars and the U.S. matched

government. matched

to curry favor in negotiations with other countries like UAE and Qatar and any other country that's going to invest in World Liberty Financial or buy his crypto or meme coins or stable coins or open up Trump golf courses on their properties. matched
