    Midterm Mania! LIVE FROM WASHINTGON DC: Can Jews Save Independent Media? with Jake Sherman (Punchbowl News) & Mosheh Oinounou (Mo News)
    Nov 3 2026
    Why is trust in the media collapsing? Who’s telling the truth in today’s media war?Election Special! Live from the JCC in Washington, DC, Mosheh Oinounou, founder of Mo News and former CBS News executive, and Jake Sherman, co-founder of Punchbowl News and former Politico reporter, combine their media expertise to discuss the future of political journalism, independent media, and the fight to earn public trust.Mosheh explains how Mo News grew from Instagram posts for friends and family into a news platform by making journalism conversational, transparent, and accessible. He discusses why acknowledging mistakes and issuing news corrections matters, how he provides context to non-Jews on Jewish issues, and why he still believes that people genuinely want to learn. Jake argues that major news organizations are fundamentally broken, and shares an inside look at Capitol Hill where lawmakers sometimes rely on Instagram and ChatGPT instead of expert sources. He warns that political incentives and influential podcasters can amplify misinformation.Together, they also tackle the unique challenges Jewish journalists face covering Israel, and rising antisemitism across the political left and right. Mosheh and Jake also lay out their midterm predictions.Plus, L’dor Vadorable is BACK! Jonah interviews his adorable little cousins for another round of intergenerational Jewish wisdom. The future of the tribe is in very cute hands!This episode is sponsored by Citizen Cafe.

  • Michigan Midterm Special: Jewish Democrat Joel Rubin Sounds the Alarm

    Michigan Midterm Special: Jewish Democrat Joel Rubin Sounds the Alarm
    Oct 29 2026

    Could antisemitism cost Democrats the Jewish vote?


    Joel Rubin, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for House Affairs and founding political director of J Street, joins Jonah for a candid conversation about the growing divide between Jewish Americans and the Democratic Party.Rubin explains why he’s sounding the alarm over Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, citing his rejection of Israel as a U.S. ally and his response to an attempted synagogue terrorist attack.


    Drawing on his experience working in the State Department and as Jewish outreach director for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, Rubin examines how progressive politics have shifted since October 7, why he believes Bernie Sanders has failed to push back against antisemitism within his movement, and why Jewish voters can no longer be taken for granted. He also explores the distinction between criticizing Israeli policy and anti-Zionism, the future of Jewish Democratic voters, and the fight to keep Jews included in progressive spaces. Reflecting on his family’s history and the legacy of the Tree of Life synagogue attack in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Rubin makes a passionate case for Jewish resilience and American Jewish identity.

  • "Suicidal Empathy" author Dr. Gad Saad Wants to Save The West from Itself

    "Suicidal Empathy" author Dr. Gad Saad Wants to Save The West from Itself
    Oct 27 2026
    Why are Jews expected to show empathy to everyone, even those who want them dead?Dr. Gad Saad, evolutionary psychologist, bestselling author, and newly arrived Jewish immigrant to America, breaks down the provocative thesis behind his New York Times bestseller, Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind.Saad explains what he calls “suicidal empathy” and how it can lead societies to excuse extremism, overlook threats to Western values, and sacrifice their own safety in the name of tolerance. Using examples including Canada’s handling of returning ISIS fighters, the rise of antisemitism on university campuses, and Jewish activists who turned against Israel after October 7, Saad argues that empathy must be grounded in reality. He also shares his deeply personal history of growing up Jewish in Lebanon, recalling childhood experiences of antisemitism, including classmates cheering for a boy who declared he wanted to become a “Jew killer.”Now teaching at the University of Mississippi’s Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom, Saad discusses why he left Canada after receiving death threats, his concerns about immigration and assimilation, and the psychological blind spots that prevent people from recognizing danger until it reaches their own doorstep.
