Ten days into the U.S.–Israel war with Iran, the conflict is expanding across the Middle East — and Gulf countries once seen as neutral players are now under direct attack. Mosheh talks with Fox News Correspondent Lucas Tomlinson, reporting from Dubai, for a look at how the war is unfolding on the ground.

Tomlinson explains why Iran is targeting Gulf states like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and whether those governments may soon join the US strikes on Iran. He also breaks down Iran’s military strategy — including waves of low-cost drones designed to overwhelm expensive U.S. and allied defenses.

The conversation explores the condition of U.S. military assets in the region, including reports of radar damage and the enormous cost of intercepting Iranian missiles and drones. We also ask what "mission accomplished" actually means for Washington and potential ground missions — including special forces operations and the strategic importance of Iran’s oil export hub at Kharg Island.

After U.S.–Israeli strikes deep inside Iran that killed the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of top leaders, the region is entering one of its most volatile moments in decades. Iran has responded aggressively across the Gulf, targeting or threatening neighboring states, while announcing a temporary leadership structure in Tehran. The stakes now extend far beyond Iran’s borders.To make sense of this moment, Mosheh speaks again with Washington Post journalist and former Tehran correspondent Jason Rezaian — who spent 544 days imprisoned by the Iranian regime and has deep knowledge of the country and the regime.Just 36 hours into this new phase of conflict, Rezaian breaks down how significant the removal of Iran’s top leadership really is, whether cracks could emerge inside the security forces, and how the Islamic Republic has maintained power for decades. We examine the real scenarios ahead and what Iranians are feeling on the ground.

As Iran tensions spike and U.S. evacuations from Israel begin, how close are we to another regional war? 

In our latest podcast, Mosheh sits down with Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, for an urgent, wide-ranging conversation about Iran, Gaza’s endgame, and Israel’s standing in America — at a moment that could reshape the Middle East.We begin with diplomacy with Iran, the fallout from the 12-day war, and what comes next if negotiations fail. Leiter describes Iran’s leadership as “homicidal and suicidal” argues that “if the diplomatic route is not going to work, then there’s really no other choice left,” and says Israel will act regardless of political pressure: “You’re with us — we’re happy. You’re not with us — we’re going to protect ourselves.”

The conversation turns to Gaza and the future for Palestinians. Leiter says Israel will “no longer allow jihadis on our border,” insists Hamas must be disarmed and Gaza demilitarized. He argues Israel has entered a new era after October 7: “We’re October 8th Israelis now.” He also forcefully rejects genocide accusations as a “blood libel,” claims Israel fought “the most ethical war… in modern history,” and adds a searing personal note: “My son (who was killed in the war) might be alive today if we did what we’re being accused of doing.”

Finally, Leiter discusses falling support for Israel in the U.S., the political fractures in Washington, media narratives, and the line between criticism of Israel and antisemitism. Leiter’s blunt assessment: “Survival is not a popularity contest” — and “the world was used to dead Jews.

Why do so many people feel lonely, burned out, and disconnected—even in a hyper-connected world? Author and journalist Jennifer Wallace joins Mosheh to unpack what she sees as a root cause behind today’s mental health, workplace, and social crises: a growing lack of mattering.

In her new book, '⁠Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose⁠,' Wallace argues that feeling valued for who we are, and knowing we add value to others, is a fundamental human need. She explains how technology, distraction, and achievement-driven culture have hollowed out relationships, contributing to loneliness, burnout, disengagement at work, and rising social anger.

The conversation discusses tips for reversing that trend, and also explores parenting and leadership, including why kids and adults thrive when they feel they matter at home and at work, and how small, everyday moments of attention and appreciation can rebuild connection.

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.

We discuss:

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.

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.

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:

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.
