“They See Him as Their Only Hope”: Why Some Iranians Are Backing Trump
09/03/2026 | 35 mins.
Iranian-American entrepreneur and activist Moj Mahdara joins Tara to discuss the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's new Supreme Leader — what it means for the Iranian people, the diaspora, and U.S. foreign policy. Moj shares her personal story of trying to reach family in Iran via Starlink, makes the case for regime change over prolonged military conflict, and explains why millions of Iranians are placing their hopes in the Trump administration. A raw, emotional, and deeply informed conversation.

Moj Mahdara is the former CEO of Beautycon and a founding member of the Iranian Diaspora Collective, a global advocacy group formed after the death of Mahsa Amini.

Did Epstein Record Powerful People?
08/03/2026 | 43 mins.
On this episode of The Tara Palmieri Show, we dig into the massive trove of digital evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein’s properties — and what the public still hasn’t seen.
Internal Federal Bureau of Investigation emails suggest authorities expected 20 to 40 terabytes of data, with devices capable of storing up to 50 terabytes. Yet so far, only about 300 gigabytes have been publicly released.
So where’s the rest?
I’m joined by Melissa Du and Luke Igel, the creators of J-Mail — an independent search engine built to organize millions of Epstein-related documents. We discuss why they built it, what it reveals, and the bigger question looming over this case: Are we seeing real transparency — or just a curated slice?

Is the Economy Breaking? Wall Street Vet Robert Wolf on the Brutal Jobs Report
06/03/2026 | 37 mins.
Wall Street titan Robert Wolf — former Chairman & CEO of UBS Americas and top economic adviser to President Obama — joins Tara Palmeri to unpack a brutal jobs report that came in at -92,000 (economists expected gains), surging oil prices driven by Iran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, and why he thinks America is heading into what he calls a "jobsession." From the K-shaped economy squeezing the middle class to stagflation risks, AI-driven layoffs, and what the Fed should do next, Wolf draws on his experience inside the room during the Lehman crisis and the Obama-era oil shocks to explain what's really happening — and what powerful people are thinking behind closed doors.

Texas GOP Civil War: Paxton vs Cornyn — Can Talarico Win?
04/03/2026 | 48 mins.
Is Texas finally in play? Tara Palmeri sits down with Democratic strategist Alex Hoffman to break down the hottest Senate race in America. They dig into how James Talarico — a 30-something pastor and state rep who ran on faith, unity, and Texas values — beat Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary despite her national profile and Kamala Harris endorsement. Plus: the Republican civil war between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn, why Trump's endorsement could decide the runoff, how the Colbert censorship incident supercharged Talarico's fundraising, and whether this is finally the "perfect storm" Democrats have been waiting for — or just another Texas white whale. They also talk voter suppression, donor strategy, and what the Texas turnout signals for the 2026 midterms.

Hillary Clinton Testified on Epstein. Should Melania Trump?
03/03/2026 | 46 mins.
Antoine Verglas helped launch Melania Trump’s modeling career, creating some of her most iconic images for outlets like British GQ and Sports Illustrated — and his name appears hundreds of times in the Department of Justice files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

V Spehar of Under the Desk News and Tara examine emails, photo shoots, visa assistance, financial mentorship for Verglas’s son, and a professional relationship that allegedly continued years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. The story raises broader questions about power, access, and the modeling world Epstein repeatedly exploited — where introductions opened doors, and influence moved quietly behind the scenes.
