    Interview - Kalshi CEO: The Debate Over Gambling, Markets & Politics

    Prediction markets have quickly become a major force shaping conversations around elections, sports, the economy, and breaking news. But as platforms like Kalshi grow in popularity, so do questions about whether they are fundamentally different from gambling — and whether they should exist at all.In this episode, Mosheh sits down with Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour for an in-depth conversation about the company's rapid rise and the controversy surrounding it. Kalshi is a sponsor of Mo News, but this interview was conducted independently, with no advance review of questions and no topics off limits.Mosheh presses him on some of the toughest questions submitted by the Mo News audience, including concerns about gambling addiction, market manipulation, insider trading, youth participation, and whether prediction markets provide real value to society. The conversation explores the origins of Kalshi, how prediction markets work, and why Mansour believes they can be a powerful tool for forecasting the future. We also talk about how the platform works with law enforcement and regulators.They also discuss the growing legal and political battles over prediction markets, why some states are trying to ban them, how the gambling industry is fighting them, how Kalshi differentiates itself from sportsbooks and other betting platforms. Whether you're a Kalshi user, a skeptic, or simply curious about one of the fastest-growing trends in finance and politics, this conversation offers a deeper look at the debate surrounding prediction markets and their future.

    Interview - Battle For California: Spencer Pratt’s Rise In LA & The Fight To Replace Gavin Newsom

    Peter Hamby joins us to break down the high-stakes political races shaping California ahead of the June 2 primary — from the crowded governor’s race to the increasingly unpredictable battle for mayor of Los Angeles. Hamby, host of Snapchat’s “Good Luck America,” political correspondent at Puck, and host of the “Powers That Be” podcast, explains why Democrats in America’s bluest major state remain divided and without a clear frontrunner to replace term-limited Governor Gavin Newsom. The conversation dives into the frontrunners, whether former Fox News host Steve Hilton has a chance to win statewide as a Republican, and Newsom’s role in the race as he looks to 2028. The episode also explores the fascinating Los Angeles mayoral race, where incumbent mayor Karen Bass is facing a surprising surge from reality TV star and influencer Spencer Pratt. Hamby explains why Pratt’s social media-first campaign strategy is resonating with some voters — and whether it represents a new playbook for modern political campaigns.
