Mo News

Carlos Whittaker is a motivational speaker and author who spreads positivity daily and he brings it to the Mo News podcast in this edition. Whittaker’s Instagram account @loswhit is a true pleasure to follow as he helps change the lives of total strangers by enlisting his “instafamilia” to raise money for good causes and good people. 

He is out with a powerful new book, How to Human, with tips on how we can find ourselves and listen to one another in these divisive times. Mosh and Carlos talk about how to remain optimistic amid the onslaught of news and how we can all unplug from social media and technology to help reset our outlooks.

A provocative, new NY Times bestselling book alleges that keeping a certain population of Americans poor actually benefits the majority of citizens. And, it turns out that solving poverty is easier than we think it is. 

Mosheh talks to sociologist and author Matthew Desmond about his book, Poverty, By America. His analysis looking into why the richest country in the world has such widespread poverty finds in essence that, “I’m the problem, it’s me.” 

In today’s podcast, we dive into potential solutions for poverty, why consumers choices matter, and why Desmond is hopeful that COVID actually gave us a blueprint to solving the crisis.

It is a story we have not learned much about….until now. Facing sexism and huge institutional hurdles, the story of the women who helped build the CIA and put their lives on the line in conflicts going back to WWII is an incredible, compelling history.   

Writer Liza Mundy tells us their story in her new book, “The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA.” It’s a follow up to her previous book “Code Girls,” about the female code breakers of World War II.

Mosheh talks to Liza about the role women played in forming the CIA, what foreign governments they helped infiltrate, what info they helped the US government learn (and what was ignored!!) during the Cold War all the way through the war on terrorism. We also discuss how accurate the portrayal of female agents like those in ‘Homeland’ and ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ are to reality.

As the Israel-Hamas war continues, Mo News hit the road for Washington to interview two key US national security leaders about the conflict, the US role and other top challenges for the US.

Mosheh spoke with Secretary of State Antony Blinken about how this war will end, who will lead Gaza after Hamas, and whether the US is doing enough to bring home the hostages. They also discussed the threat from Iranian groups like the Houthis, continued White House concerns about TikTok and how the Biden administration is trying to combat the rise of authoritarianism globally. 

Also on this podcast: An interview with White House National Security Council Spokesperson, Admiral John Kirby. He discusses how the US is approaching dialogue with Israel, whether eliminating Hamas is possible given our experience with ISIS and al Qaeda, and what Israel risks with the escalating civilian death toll. Mosheh and Admiral Kirby also discussed the latest in Ukraine and the larger communication challenges in the social media era.
