    EP 178: Rahm Emanuel On Global Disorder, Age Limits For Leaders, And A Possible 2028 Presidential Run

    As he considers a 2028 presidential run, Rahm Emanuel joined us in studio for a wide-ranging and candid conversation about power, politics, and the moment the U.S. finds itself in right now. Emanuel has served at the highest levels of government — in Congress, as President Obama’s first chief of staff, two terms as mayor of Chicago, and most recently as U.S. ambassador to Japan. We dig into the rapidly shifting global order, including Greenland, U.S. alliances, China, Ukraine, Gaza, Israel Iran, and Venezuela. On President Trump’s second term, Emanuel acknowledges that he shares some underlying goals — including the need to confront China, fight for the American worker and reassess broken global institutions — but is sharply critical of Trump’s tactics, execution, and what he sees as lasting damage to America’s image, alliances, and long-term leverage abroad.Emanuel is blunt in his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s conduct of the Gaza war, while also defending Israel’s right to exist and protect itself. He warns that political realities around Israel have fundamentally changed inside the Democratic Party. We talk about what that mean if he decides to run for the Democratic nomination. The conversation also turns personal: growing up in Chicago, parenting, and life as one of the three Emanuel brothers — alongside Ari Emanuel, the legendary Hollywood agent, and Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a leading physician.

    EP 177: Breaking Down The Latest Minneapolis Shooting And Answering Your Legal Questions About ICE

    A 37-year-old U.S. citizen, Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. Federal officials say the shooting was self-defense, claiming Pretti approached agents with a gun. But multiple videos and eyewitness accounts do not back up the Trump administration claims, showing that Pretti was instead holding his phone and suggesting his weapon was actually removed by agents before they shot and killed him. This is the second fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by federal agents in Minneapolis in less than a month. The latest incident has sparked mass protests, lawsuits, and political backlash.Mosheh was joined by Elie Honig, former state and federal prosecutor and CNN senior legal analyst, for an Instagram Live on Sunday to break down the latest and answer your legal questions. We are making the conversation available as a podcast as well. We discuss: The legal standard federal agents must meet before using deadly force and how video evidence is evaluated How DOJ typically investigates federal shootings and how the Trump Administration is changing precedent Whether legally carrying a firearm changes the use-of-force analysis Citizens’ rights to film federal agents, protest, and observe enforcement actions Qualified immunity and whether federal agents have broader protections than local police State-level investigations of federal agents and what legal options remain for families if DOJ declines to act Broader questions about accountability and systemic use of force in federal immigration operations Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

    EP 176: Iran’s Breaking Point: Jason Rezaian on the Protests, the Regime, and What Comes Next

    As protests spread across Iran and the regime intensifies its crackdown, Mosh sits down with Jason Rezaian — former Tehran correspondent and Iranian regime prisoner— to break down what’s really happening inside the country, and why this moment feels different from past waves of unrest.Rezaian draws on both history and lived experience. His father left Iran for the U.S. before the revolution; Jason returned decades later to cover the country — and was ultimately arrested and held as prisoner for 544 days.In this conversation, Rezaian explains how Islamic Regime has reached its end date — from economic collapse and internal fractures to a public that increasingly feels it has nothing left to lose. He shares how Iranians still find ways to communicate and organize under extreme censorship, why outside military pressure often strengthens hardliners, and what real support for Iranian civil society could look like.The episode also looks ahead: how fragile the regime actually is, who could emerge as a credible leader if it falls, and what kind of transition would give Iran its best chance at stability after decades of repression.

    EP 175: Paying Rent, Earning Points: Inside BILT’s Housing Revolution & Their New Credit Cards

    Rent is one of the biggest expenses for Americans — and for decades it’s been one of the least rewarding. In this episode, Mosheh sits down with Ankur Jain, CEO of BILT, to break down how his company is trying to flip that equation — and reveals new details about BILT’s newest credit cards launching next month. Jain explains how BILT has evolved from a simple idea — earning points on rent — into a platform now used in one in four U.S. apartment buildings, connecting rent payments to credit building, neighborhood rewards, and even future homeownership. He walks through how BILT partners with landlords, banks, and local businesses — and what’s changing with its upcoming credit cards designed to make everyday spending, from housing to healthcare, work harder for consumers. The conversation widens to rising housing costs and how AI and other technologies could reshape the economics of cities. Beyond that, Jain shares his lessons from scaling BILT with a lean team, avoiding early VC pressure, and what founders often get wrong when trying to grow companies. Mosheh and Ankur also get personal about growing up with immigrant parents. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

    EP 172: Being Jewish At A Time Of Rising Antisemitism - A Conversation With Jonah Platt

    Actor, activist, and “Being Jewish” podcast host Jonah Platt joins Mosheh for a wide-ranging conversation about Jewish identity, politics, culture, and the intense pressures facing American Jews after October 7th. Platt reflects on the fear, confusion, and polarization running through the community, and why so much of today’s antisemitism shows up not through slurs or symbols, but through omissions, framing, and coded language around Israel. He argues that this moment requires clarity, context, and calm engagement — not panic and not denial. The episode also explores the creation of Platt’s podcast 'Being Jewish,' which aims to expand how people understand Jewishness — as a people, culture, history, and set of values, not just a religion. Platt takes listeners inside Hollywood, an industry where many Jews have had to historically hide their identity. He also talks about the impact of October 7, and why some are now pushing forward Jewish and Israeli stories despite fear of backlash. Also in the interview: Breaking down where Jewish institutions have fallen short in educating younger generations about Israel, and how better storytelling could counter both misinformation and apathy.

    EP 173: The Emotional Regulation Crisis — And the Skills We Weren’t Taught

    Yale psychologist Marc Brackett, bestselling author of Permission to Feel, joins Mosh to break down his new book ⁠Dealing With Feeling⁠ — a practical guide to emotional regulation at a moment when society seems more reactive, overwhelmed, and dis-regulated than ever. Brackett, who founded the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, explains what emotional regulation really is (and isn’t). It’s not suppressing emotions or “checking them at the door,” he says — it’s learning to use your feelings wisely to achieve your goals. The episode dives into: Why most adults were never taught emotional regulation and how beliefs from childhood still shape our reactions. The crucial difference between emotions — anger vs. disappointment, anxiety vs. stress — and why naming them accurately changes everything. Co-regulation: how to support your partner, friend, colleague, or child through difficult feelings without fixing or lecturing. Why venting often backfires, and how to help someone break the cycle of rumination. The role of sleep, exercise, food, and technology in stabilizing your emotional life — and why doom-scrolling is one of the worst “strategies.” Setting boundaries, managing family conflict, and navigating political tension without losing yourself. Why savoring positive emotions is as important as managing the negative ones — and how kids learn this faster than adults. Brackett also shares how his own childhood — bullying, loss, trauma — shaped his work, and how one emotionally intelligent uncle changed the trajectory of his life. He also discusses his work with kids, including ⁠RULER, the emotional intelligence curriculum now used in thousands of schools⁠, and why he believes emotional skills should be taught from birth through adulthood.

    EP 171: Why It Is Better To Be Right Than First: War Reporting With Trey Yingst

    Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst joined Mosh after returning from Israel to break down the fragile ceasefire, the behind the scenes of war reporting, how he deals with the trauma of what he reports on, and the split-second decision that saved his life on October 7, 2023. Yingst’s guiding philosophy after a decade in conflict zones: humanize civilians, avoid sweeping conclusions, and stay relentlessly accurate — even when everyone online demands you pick a side. Yingst explains what’s happening between Israel and Hamas right now, and details the effective media blackout in Gaza, and how he verifies information through contacts inside the enclave. Yingst walks through how he looks to get the story right, the pressures of real-time reporting, and the importance of old-school verification. He revisits October 7th, including his book, ⁠'Black Saturday,'⁠ about the attack and the aftermath, and he reflects on what both Israelis and Palestinians are actually experiencing on the ground and why most people in the region aren’t consumed by war despite global perceptions. The conversation also covers: What remains of Hamas and whether Arab states can shape a post-war Gaza Why the world fixates on Israel-Palestine His reporting during the chaotic Kabul evacuation How he deals with the trauma of what he covers Trump’s nontraditional diplomacy and Jared Kushner’s growing role Where Ukraine-Russia peace talks stand and whether Putin has any incentive to stop fighting Rising global antisemitism and how it’s viewed inside Israel The role of social media in modern war reporting Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
