Welcome to Talkin' Politics, the podcast within a podcast that gives you a weekly dose of S.E.'s piping' hot takes on the news of the week as well as interviews with political heavyweights. And this week, S.E. talks with Rahm Emanuel.  Most recently, Rahm was the U.S. ambassador to Japan, but he has also served in Congress, as mayor (of Chicago), and, once upon a time, Chief of Staff for President Obama. And rumors are swirling he's eyeing the presidency. And you know S.E. likes to have some fun, so each political interview will wrap with the Talkin' Politics version of a lightning round that we're calling, the Exit Poll. And stay tuned for S.E.'s take those leaked texts from a young Republican group chat.
