From the Salem Witch Trials to Qanon, it turns out that conspiracy theories are “as American as apple pie.” We dive into why we believe them, and how they have impacted American history and democracy in a conversation with author and cultural historian Colin Dickey. 

His latest book, “Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shape American Democracy,” provides some fascinating historical perspective into how fears of immigrants, other religions, and secret societies have impacted the country’s history over the last few centuries. 

Mark Twain once said that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes,” and we learn that from this unique look at the American story.

After 20 years of war and revolution across the Middle East and North Africa–from Libya to Afghanistan--we take a look at what US foreign policy gets wrong, where China is trying to fill the gaps, and the future of the region, in this conversation with author and journalist Robert Kaplan. 

His latest book, “The Loom of Time,” provides some incredible historical perspective on US foreign policy and takes us on a tour of the region from Saudi Arabia to Israel to Syria to Egypt. This episode is effectively an hour-long masters degree in Middle East affairs. 

While the US might try, the region continues to require constant attention from Washington DC. Why is that? Kaplan provides perspective on how we got here over the last 100 years, about his conversations with senior leaders across the region and what might happen next.

As we experience the hottest summer in recorded history, we have a conversation with White House National Climate Adviser, Ali Zaidi, about what the administration is doing to combat climate change. Despite all the recent negative headlines, Zaidi explains to Mosheh why he remains an optimist and the progress that has been made globally in recent years. 

He also discusses the White House strategy regarding clean energy, why electric cars are cleaner than gas-powered vehicles, whether climate change has a “branding problem,” and the latest tax breaks and incentives for Americans adopting clean energy alternatives. 

This conversation comes as the White House gets set to mark the one year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes billions of dollars in climate initiatives as the administration tries to hit ambitious CO2 reduction targets.

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action in college admissions, declaring race cannot be a factor after nearly 50 years. The decision forces colleges and universities to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies without considering race.

We break down the decision with Supreme Court watcher and Mo News Podcast friend Sharon McMahon of SharonSaysSo. We discuss the arguments by the various justices (including the very personal language in the opinions), the exceptions to the ruling and what it means for colleges, employers, the military and the nation. The conversation was part of a breaking news Instagram Live on @mosheh on Thursday afternoon following the decision.

We also discuss the upcoming major student loan case, and other Supreme Court headlines including calls for them to adopt a code of ethics.
