Gloves Off with Tara McGowan cuts through the noise, holds power accountable, and speaks directly to the millions of Americans who feel politically abandoned to turn outrage and confusion into civic action. In an era marked by democratic backsliding, media consolidation, and historic levels of burnout, Tara sits down with the most influential — and controversial — political, cultural, and media figures shaping our future. This is not punditry. It’s accountability, clarity, and courage — from someone who has been inside the democratic party system and is now exposing its flaws. Each episode blends high-profile interviews, sharp analysis, and Tara’s candid, unfiltered POV. Whether confronting politicians, challenging corporate power, or explaining how information warfare shapes our politics, Gloves Off gives viewers the context they need — and a reason to stay in the fight.

    Trump Tried to Arrest Him Twice, Now He's Running for Congress.
    Jun 13 2026
    With ICE threatening to flood New York City with more federal agents than it's ever seen, this congressional candidate is already two arrests deep and just walked out of federal court not guilty… That's why Tara McGowan sat down with Brad Lander, former NYC Comptroller, Democrat who helped Zohran Mamdani defeat Andrew Cuomo and now the leading challenger to incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman in New York's 10th Congressional District. Fresh off his acquittal for "blocking an elevator" at 26 Federal Plaza — where ICE has been running an illegal detention facility on the 10th floor — Brad joins Tara to talk about what's coming for New York City and why he isn't scared. They get into Tom Homan's threat to deploy the largest ICE surge New York has ever seen in direct retaliation for Governor Hochul's new immigrant protection laws, what Minneapolis taught the country about showing up for your neighbors and why Brad believes the line in the Democratic Party right now isn't progressive versus moderate, it's fighters versus fakers. Here's what all they get into: Inside Brad's ICE Arrest — 1:32 Will ICE Escalate In New York? — 7:29 Why Run For Congress? — 16:54 Who's Brad's Top Target? — 20:32 Where Brad Finds Courage — 22:49 Early voting is open now and the NY-10 primary is June 23rd.

  • How MAGA Money Took Over Democratic Primaries

    How MAGA Money Took Over Democratic Primaries
    Jun 11 2026
    The Democratic Party has spent a decade trying to stop Donald Trump, so why does it still feel like nobody has a real, working plan? That’s why Tara McGowan sat down with Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy and Democratic candidate for New York's 12th Congressional District. They had an honest conversation about the future of the Democratic Party, corruption in politics, billionaire influence, Israel and Palestine and why so many voters are losing faith in America's institutions. Jack argues that Democrats have become too cautious, too comfortable with failure and too dependent on the same political playbook that helped create the crisis they're now trying to solve. He also calls out the flood of super PAC money pouring into one of the most closely watched congressional primaries in the country. Here’s what all they get into: 1:55 — Why Jack Schlossberg Decided to Run 7:53 — Inside the Fight for the Democratic Party's Future 19:45 — How JFK’s Grandson Defines His Politics 25:49 — What Jack Schlossberg Would Fight For In Congress First 28:30 — The Americans Who Motivate Jack With just a couple weeks left before voters head to the polls in Manhattan's closely watched NY-12 race, Tara and Jack get at a much bigger question — what kind of Democratic Party comes next?

    Big Tech is Spending $10 Million in a Primary to Keep This Candidate Out of Congress
    Jun 7 2026
    What does it mean for democracy when some of the most powerful companies in the world are trying to shape who gets elected before voters cast their ballots? Tara McGowan wanted to know so she sat down with New York Assemblymember Alex Bores. They unpacked the growing battle between democratic institutions and the tech industry, the role of AI money in politics and whether government can still hold powerful corporations accountable before AI fundamentally reshapes society. With just weeks until Election Day, voters aren't just choosing a representative. They're weighing in on one of the defining political fights of the next decade. Who controls AI? Who controls Congress? And can democracy still hold powerful interests accountable before it's too late?
