Is the American Dream still possible? This week, longtime politician Rahm Emanuel joins Preet. Rahm served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, represented Illinois in the U.S. House, and later became mayor of Chicago. Most recently, he served as U.S. ambassador to Japan. Rahm and Preet discuss the affordability crisis, why Trump supporters feel betrayed, and how Rahm’s longtime career in politics has prepared him for a 2028 presidential campaign.
Then, Preet answers your questions about the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis and whether the law provides any avenues for accountability.
In the bonus for Insiders, Preet and Rahm break down why our kids aren’t reading at grade level and what can be done about it.
