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.

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.
