Meet the Man Who Could Flip Texas — with Rep. James Talarico (Live from SXSW)

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov host a LIVE recording of Raging Moderates, and are joined by special guest Texas Rep. James Talarico (D-TX), fresh off his Senate primary win. They discuss how he approached the campaign — which drew record Democratic turnout in the state, how he plans to approach governing if he does win a Senate seat, what his signature policies will be, and how he plans to defend himself against the onslaught of right-wing attacks coming his way — including a recent attack from President Trump. They also discuss problems facing young adults — and young men in particular — in the state of Texas, and what can be done to help those who are struggling.
