Scott and Jessica break down the chaos surrounding Trump’s economic and immigration agendas. First, they dive into Trump’s trade war U-turn: after rattling global markets, he’s hit pause on his “reciprocal” tariff strategy—everywhere but China. They unpack what this 90-day freeze actually means and whether there’s any real strategy behind the whiplash. Next, they turn to Congress, where Trump’s legislative priorities are moving forward—but not without serious drama. With deep Medicaid cuts, clean energy rollbacks, and massive tax extensions on the table, are Republicans undermining their own voters just to make the numbers work? And finally, the administration’s deportation crackdown takes a disturbing turn—adding undocumented immigrants to a federal "death" list and triggering a legal showdown with El Salvador.

Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Scott Galloway.
And I'm Jessica Tarloff. I just came from the Palm Beach Gardens Department of Motor Vehicles where my 17-year-old son now has a full-fledged Florida driver's license. Oh, why doesn't he have an English driver's license?
Oh, no, we're not doing that. That's hardcore. Oh, wrong side of the road? Yeah, you have to put a big L on your car. No, they take driving seriously here. No exaggeration. You get his learner's permit. You go in. You, like, say, what's a red light? You're, like, different than a yellow or a green light. And they're, like, here you go. God be with you. And then 10 minutes later, you have...
a kid, you have your toddler driving your car home. And then, I guess he did a driver's test, but it reminds me of that Will Rogers joke that I want to die like my grandfather in his sleep, not the passengers in his car screaming. Oh, that is funny. That is funny, right? I like that. Yeah, I remember my driver's test.
Things have changed so much. I got my driver's license. I had to force my kid to get his driver's license, although he's kind of enjoying driving now. But I got my driver's license literally on my 16th birthday. I spent 120 percent of my disposable income on my car. It was just your car was your identity back in the 80s. Now they don't really care.
