  • Dana Bash on Elections That Changed History, MAGA Without Trump, and Why the Center Isn't Dead
    2026/09/24
    CNN's Dana Bash joins Donny to talk about her new bestseller, The Elections That Changed the World: 15 Pivotal Moments That Shaped How We Live — from Hitler's rise through a democratic vote to the small-town election that launched Martin Luther King Jr. into the civil rights movement. Dana shares her own sixth-grade run for school president and how it shaped her instinct for fairness and truth-telling. Then she and Donny dig into the moment we're in now: the midterms, gerrymandering and the vanishing swing district, whether the Democratic Party's future runs through its left flank, if MAGA can survive without Trump, dark-horse 2028 contenders on both sides, and the unsettling question of AI outpacing human control.

  • Jessica Tarlov: Winning Arguments, Losing Friends & the Five's Secret Sauce
    2026/09/17
    Disclaimer: This episode was recorded on September 10, 2026. Donny sits down with Jessica Tarlov — co-host of Fox News's The Five and Scott Galloway's Raging Moderates — for her first-ever appearance on the show. They dig into her new book, I Disagree: Winning Arguments Without Losing Friends, and what it actually takes to debate someone without torching the relationship. Jessica opens up about the real dynamic behind her on-air chemistry with Greg Gutfeld and Scott Galloway, why conservatives are often more willing to move past politics than liberals are, and how she uses polling and data to hold her own in front of a hostile audience. She and Donny also get into her cheesesteak-fueled college thesis on Philly culture, the pop-culture characters (Tracy Flick, Elle Woods) who shaped how she thinks about being underestimated, and advice from Roger Ailes that changed how she sees her own voice. The conversation turns personal and political as they discuss the widening rift between the Democratic Party and Israel, Donny's on-air clash with Joe Scarborough, and — a day before the 25th anniversary of 9/11 — Jessica's reflection on losing her father to complications from the attacks, and what she hopes the anniversary will mean under a new mayor. Plus: a Thanksgiving-table survival guide, straight from the book.

  • Rep. Dan Goldman: Getting Banned from a Coffee Shop, the Democratic Party's Israel Problem, and Life After Losing
    2026/09/10
    Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) joins the show for a candid conversation about the price of being a pro-Israel Democrat in 2025. Goldman shares the surreal story of being publicly banned from a coffee shop hours after a kind, anonymous interaction with the barista — once the owner realized who he was. He breaks down why he believes the discourse around Israel, Zionism, and "genocide" has become unmoored from history and nuance, defends his record of opposing both Netanyahu's government and the DSA's more radical planks, and explains why he thinks the Democratic Party's path back to power runs through unity, not litmus tests. The conversation also covers his legislative wins — from 9/11 health funding to his "Robin Hood Act" targeting billionaire tax avoidance — and his blunt scorecard for Mayor Mamdani's first eight months in office.

  • Governor Wes Moore: Crime, ICE, Antisemitism, and 2028
    2026/09/03
    Donny sits down with Maryland Governor Wes Moore — reelection candidate, National Governors Association chairman, and one of the most closely watched figures in the Democratic Party — for a wide-ranging conversation. Moore breaks down how Maryland cut violent crime by nearly 60%, why he's pushing back on the current ICE approach while still working with federal partners, and the $10 million anti-hate initiative he launched to protect Jewish communities and other targeted groups. He gets candid on the state of the Democratic Party, the DSA, and what it takes to win back independents like Donny himself. As a veteran, he doesn't hold back on the USS Lincoln situation, Secretary Hegseth, and the muddled rationale behind escalating tensions with Iran. He also reflects on being only the third Black governor in U.S. history — and closes with his answer (or non-answer) on 2028. 🎙️ Subscribe to On Brand with Donny Deutsch for more unfiltered conversations on politics, media, marketing, and culture with the biggest names shaping the national conversation.
