"Nearly $100" for seniors and Flock cameras on Raging Moderates' midterm episode
Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov opened the last month before the midterms with polls and promises, but the comment section went straight to license plate readers.

Trump’s Midterm Strategy Is COLLAPSING
Raging Moderates had about 85,000 views on its Monday episode within seven hours. A new full episode here usually ends its whole first day near 19,000.
The title promises a collapse, and the episode builds the case from the campaign. Scott Galloway, the NYU marketing professor, and Jessica Tarlov, known to Fox News viewers from The Five, start with the betting market Kalshi, which the description says gives Democrats a 64% chance of winning both chambers. Next come polls showing Democrats ahead in governor races in Republican-held states, Iowa, Ohio and Texas among them. Then there is Trump's rally promise of "nearly $100" for 20 million seniors on Medicare. Scott argues that handing out money paid for with more debt is a bad idea.
The rest of the hour moves quickly. The US pulled its B-1 bombers from a British air base after intelligence about an Iran-backed plot. A new Supreme Court term opens with Justice Alito saying he will revisit retirement in 2027. A Russian laboratory faces a health scare. And Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced the Ban Flock Act on the same night they introduced The Strokes to about 40,000 people in Queens.
That last segment is the one viewers keep writing about. Going by the comments, Scott spoke up for Flock's license plate cameras, and many replies push back. They raise the risk of abuse and question whether the cameras really brought crime down. Some point out that New York's crime rate was already falling before the cameras went up. With 475 comments in those first hours, the section was already busier than a usual full first day on the channel.
