EP 32: Holocaust Survivor Leo Ullman Tells His Incredible Story Jan 28, 2023

Show notes

As we mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we talk to Holocaust survivor Leo Ullman. He was born in Amsterdam in July of 1939, which makes him one of the youngest Holocaust survivors– and the few Holocaust survivors who are still living today.

Leo was just three years old when his family went into hiding in Amsterdam. That’s the same city where another young Jewish person, Anne Frank, was also in hiding.

Leo was raised by a Christian family for 796 days. He’s since written a book called ‘796 Days’ about that experience and his family’s eventual escape to the United States after WWII.

Hear Leo’s incredible story, what life was like for his family before and after the war, why they decided to come to America, and what he thinks about the resurgence in antisemitism and Holocaust denial. And hear the backstory of five missing pages of Anne Frank’s diary.

EP 30: Supreme Court Hears Free Speech & Voting Cases. A Conversation With Sharon McMahon Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

It has been a huge week for the U.S. Supreme Court as it heard two of the biggest cases of the year. Their decisions will help dictate the future of free speech and voting for all Americans.

One major case involves a Colorado web designer who wants to refuse to work for same-sex couples over religious beliefs. It goes against the state’s anti-discrimination law. (303 Creative LLC v. Elenis)

The second big case this week featured Republican legislators in North Carolina asking the high court to grant them unrestricted power to set rules for voting and elections. They believe they should be able to do so without oversight by courts or the governor. It could dramatically alter how elections are conducted in the U.S. (Moore v. Harper)

Mosheh conducted Instagram Lives this week with Sharon McMahon aka @sharonsaysso, who closely watches the court, to break down the arguments and take viewer questions on Tuesday and Wednesday. This episode features highlights from each conversation.

After the 2022 red wave that wasn’t, Republicans are looking at a very slim majority in the US House and reeling from their second straight failure to take control of the US Senate.

This week we go inside the GOP and look at what went wrong, how the next two years could play out and how the 2024 Republican presidential primary is shaping up (some names could surprise you). We also talk about the state of conservative media and what the mainstream media still gets wrong about Trump.

Mosheh speaks to two leading conservative thinkers—Jonah Goldberg and Sarah Isgur—of The Dispatch. It is one of the most exciting media startups currently out there and is one of our go-to newsletters for fact-based conservative media coverage.

You can catch Sarah’s Advisory Opinions Podcast and her newsletter, “The Sweep.”

Meanwhile, Jonah hosts the Remnant Podcast and writes the G-File Newsletter.

EP 28: The Dems "Undoing" In NY: Interview with Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) On Midterm Lessons Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) discusses the lessons of the 2022 midterms for Democrats and Republicans.

“The cruelest irony of the midterm elections is that New York was the only place where there was a clear red wave,” he tells Mosheh, noting that Democrats are ignoring public safety and crime worries at their own peril. In fact, Republicans may end up clinching the House because of the seats they were able to pick up in NY on Tuesday.

Torres also talks about his concerns about the close results in the state and why they might mean that Republicans like Ron DeSantis may try to compete in the traditionally blue state in the 2024 presidential election.

Torres, 34, is one of the youngest members of Congress. He also speak about his feelings on whether President Biden should run for re-election in 2024 and whether it is time for a new generation to lead Democrats in Congress to replace Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

EP 27: How Women Leaders Change Companies with Julia Boorstin Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

Mosheh speaks with CNBC Senior Media and Technology Correspondent Julia Boorstin about her new book, “When Women Lead: What They Achieve, Why They Succeed and How We Can Learn From Them.”

In her book, she explains how female leaders differ from male counterparts and why those attributes (including vulnerability, empathy and gratitude) benefit a company’s culture and bottom line. Boorstin also discusses why and increasing number of male leaders are now desperate to take on more traditionally female leadership attributes! She interviewed more than 120 women and men for the book and brings data to the conversation. She also dives into why women are still not making it into the C-suite despite now being the majority of the college graduates.

EP 25: Can The Iranian Revolution Succeed? with Reza Aslan Oct 20, 2022

Show notes

The Iranian Islamic regime is currently up against the biggest threat in more than 40 years. Can this coalition of protesters succeed in bringing down the dictatorship?

Mosheh recently spoke to Iran expert and NY Times bestselling author, Reza Aslan, who has a new book out: An American Martyr in Persia.

Aslan was born in Iran and his family escaped the rise of the Islamic regime in 1979. We discuss his family history, what led us to the current revolution and what is next. We go through various scenarios on why this revolution might succeed as well as what might cause it to fail.

We also discuss his book, which tells the extraordinarily compelling, true story of Howard Baskerville, 22-year old Christian missionary from Nebraska who became a commander in the 1906 Iranian Revolution. Baskerville’s story has lessons for the latest revolution, more than a century later.

And finally, Aslan talks about the evolution Islam is currently going through and how it compares to how Christianity and Judaism changed over time.

Interview:

As we officially head into the final stretch with weeks to go until the midterm elections, we are taking the temperature of American democracy in this edition.

Mosheh had the opportunity to sit down with CBS Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett and elections expert David Becker to talk about their new book: 'The Big Truth.'

In our interview, Becker and Garrett delve into the dangers of the escalating rhetoric (like calling your political opponents “enemies”), the persistent 2020 election fraud claims and how they have warped views of the validity of American elections. They lay out the dire consequences it could have on next month's midterm elections and beyond…for our democracy.

We also compare our current challenges to the 1960s and 70s--the last time it felt like this country was coming apart. They explain why this time is more dangerous. But, rest assured, it is not all doom and gloom. At the end, we talk about the solutions. If you care about this country and our democracy, this is an important listen.

EP 23: A Fact Check On Climate Change, Hurricanes and The Weather Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

As we assess the damage from Hurricane Ian, we take a deeper look in this episode at the storm and the impact of climate change on major weather events.

Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci was on the front lines as Ian hit Florida and joined me for a fascinating conversation taking us inside a Category 4 hurricane. At one point, he was driving around in the eye of the storm and got two flat tires! He recounts that story and we talk about what he thinks viewers gain from reporters standing out in the middle of the hurricanes.

Cappucci also takes us through the numbers on how much more accurate forecasts have gotten through the years. We also learn his big 3 lessons from Ian for anyone who is ever in the path of a hurricane and is not sure whether to evacuate.

The back half of the conversation is about all things climate change, weather and media coverage. Cappucci gives us an honest take on where science is actually at on climate change and the weather, what frustrates him about media (all or nothing) coverage of climate these days. He explains what weather events are actually being impacted by climate change and what is just weather being weather.
