Few institutions are as secretive, controversial, and consequential as the CIA. From covert Cold War operations to the war on terror, America’s spy agency has been both praised for keeping the country safe and condemned for its failures and abuses.
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and historian Tim Weiner joins us to unpack that complicated history and discuss his new book, The Mission, which traces how the CIA has struggled to adapt espionage in the 21st century. Weiner is also the author of the National Book Award–winning Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, Enemies: A History of the FBI.
In this conversation, we explore the agency’s origins, its Cold War and post-9/11 record, and the lessons of Iraq, torture, and Afghanistan. We discuss the biggest threats facing the U.S. today—including China’s massive intelligence apparatus, estimated to be 20 times the size of the CIA, and how Beijing’s ambitions differ from Russia’s. We discuss whether intelligence leaders believe the biggest threat to US national security is internal or external. And, Weiner breaks down the concerns over President Trump’s approach to the agency—and what happens when intelligence is shaped, or warped, by politics.

Few institutions impact our daily lives more than the Federal Reserve—and rarely has it been under so much scrutiny. With interest rates, inflation, and political pressure dominating headlines, the Fed’s decisions shape everything from mortgages to credit card bills.
Our guest is Austan Goolsbee, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and a currently voting member of the Fed’s powerful policy-setting committee. In a special joint conversation with Mosheh Oinounou of Mo News and Nicole Lapin of the Money Rehab podcast, Goolsbee takes us inside the “room where it happens” during high-stakes meetings, breaking down how jobs data, debt, and tariffs are influencing the economic outlook heading into the fall.
We also press him on President Trump’s recent attempts to politicize the Fed, including firing Governor Lisa Cook. We dive into how the institution maintains independence amid mounting pressure from both parties. Finally, Goolsbee weighs in on whether he is more worried about the jobs market or inflation — and gives his take on what the Fed’s role should be in a rapidly changing economy.

In this mid-year money check-in, Mosheh is joined by Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola, co-hosts of NerdWallet’s Smart Money Podcast, to tackle the questions we’re all asking: How do the latest economic headlines actually affect my wallet? From tariffs and grocery bills to debt, side hustles, and retirement planning, they break down practical ways to navigate an unpredictable economy without losing your sanity - or your savings.
Their conversation covers everything from stretching your back-to-school budget to finding side hustles that make sense for your skills, to why an emergency fund is your financial life jacket. You’ll also hear tips on tackling debt faster, setting realistic goals, making smart investments (without falling for shiny distractions), and pivoting your plans when life throws a curveball. If money stress has been holding you back, this episode is packed with the tools, mindset shifts, and strategies you need to reset and make the rest of 2025 count._________________________
