Podcast appearances and mentions of Josh Shapiro

John welcomes back Politico's Jonathan Martin to discuss the Texas Senate race: how scandal-soaked Attorney General Ken Paxton thrashed incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the GOP primary run-off; Democratic nominee James Talarico's “race against time” to define himself before Paxton's effort to cast him as a weak, weird, ultra-woke vegan sinks in with voters; and whether Democrats are once again chasing fool's gold in Texas or the race is a genuine toss-up. JMart also unpacks the latest episode of his “On The Road” YouTube series, featuring Pennsylvania governor and likely 2028 presidential candidate Josh Shapiro.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with Omar Shakir, Executive Director of Democracy in the Arab World Now (DAWN), about DAWN's new report on the revolving door between AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and U.S. and Israeli governmental institutions and the roles AIPAC plays in U.S. politics and public discourse. They also look at instances of conflation between Jewish people and AIPAC (including, for instance, by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro), as well as new and growing toxicity of the AIPAC brand and how that toxicity affects other political groups, such as J Street. See the new DAWN report, New Data Highlights AIPAC Ties to the U.S., Israeli Governments (5/20/26).

Have you ever wondered what it takes to manufacture luxury watches that cost tens of thousands of dollars? This is the episode to find out! Last week I reconnected with Josh Shapiro to tell him about a used Willemin 408MT Graff-Pinkert had for sale. He told me that he was extremely excited for his new line of watches coming out that he has been working on for years. He is finally going to be producing the entire movement in his watches. Please have a listen to one of our most popular interviews on the show! Our guest on the podcast today is a machinist, entrepreneur, and master craftsman. Josh Shapiro is the owner and founder of JN Shapiro Watches, one of the few high-end luxury wristwatch makers in the United States. His latest line of watches will be priced at $70,000 dollars and up. His operation uses the most state of the art CNC Swiss and turn mills, as well as manual turning technology developed as far back as the 1500s! Listen to the podcast or read the highlights to learn how Josh is producing watches like nobody else has in United States for last 50 years. You can also view the podcast in video form on our YouTube Channel.     Highlights from the Interview Noah Graff: First, explain your company, JN Shapiro. Josh Shapiro: We make high-end luxury wristwatches. We’re one of the very, very few companies in the United States that manufacture watches. We started out just making the faces of the watches. Our expertise is with something called Guilloche, which is doing engraved geometric shapes on the faces of watches, and that’s done using non-motorized, very old school machines. They’re really special. From there we moved on to making our own cases. Now we are very close to having our first prototype completely in-house movement done. Graff: How much do the watches cost? The price was $30,000 to $40,000 depending on the case material. The new series that we’re going to launch soon is $70,000 up to about $85,000, depending on material and customization. JN Shapiro Watch So they’re very expensive, but we put in about 400 to 500 hours on each timepiece. So much time goes into making each one of those watches. Graff: How did you get into watchmaking? Shapiro: I just had a love of old things, so I ended up becoming a history major and then becoming a teacher. I walked into a local watch store here in Los Angeles called Feldmar when I was about 25, and just fell in love with watches. One of the first watches I saw was a Skeleton Chronograph watch. There was just so much going on there. It was so fascinating to me. Watches are mechanical. Watches are a really beautiful thing. It’s wearable jewelry that’s functional. It’s fascinating how the gear train flows together. How the escapement functions, the pendulum, just the whole interplay of all the pieces. While I was a teacher and principal, I was doing watchmaking as a hobby. Then around 2015, I purchased a really nice set of Guilloche, or engine turning machines, and that allowed me to do professional level work. I started producing watch faces, watch styles for other watchmakers, and started thinking in the back of my head of launching my own brand. Around 2018, I launched my first series, and that’s when I started really reducing my role as a principal, until finally leaving completely two years ago. Graff: Explain engine turning Shapiro: The concept is there are cams made out of bronze on the spindle of the machine, and those cams are rocking against the stop. As the spindle is turning, it’s creating these geometric patterns. Then you can phase the cam, independent of the workpiece, and you can create these really beautiful geometric shapes. It’s an old art. Engine turning machines have been around since the time that lathes came into existence, around 1500. I have a number of them. The first one I bought, I scraped together every cent I had to afford it. Then, then I ended up selling that set of machines and buying another set of machines. The second set of machines cost me around $30,000. I didn’t have that much money, so I had to sell my 67 Mustang Fastback to afford it. Graff: How many staff do you employ for making the watches? Shapiro: It's me plus seven. I’ve taught everyone in the company how to do engine turning. I have one trained CNC machinist. I have another watchmaker who is turned into a CNC machinist. I have three other watchmakers who are doing various watchmaking tasks and manual machining tasks. I have one person who’s a trained jeweler, who has pursued a whole career in hand engraving, and one admin. So everyone has a really great skillset and really enjoys making things. Graff: Tell me about the various machines in your shop. Shapiro: My first big CNC machine, which we still have, is a Haas office mill. That’s actually a great watchmaking machine, and there’s a lot of people in Switzerland that have these Haas office mills because they’re really, really accurate. Then we got a Hardinge, HLV, which is like the premier tool room lathe. And then we picked up the, the (Citizen) L20 from you that was to practice on before we got our new shiny L12, which is getting here Wednesday. The big machine that we got this year was a Kern Evo. Kern makes the most accurate milling machines on the planet. It’s a sub-micron machine. We can’t measure sub-micron here in our shop, but it’s nice to know that we’re working with the machine that accurate, that precise. It’s the first Kern Evo used for watchmaking in the US, which is really exciting. JN Shapiro Watch Parts Graff: Explain the watch movement Shapiro: A movement is the guts of a mechanical watch. It’s everything inside of it, just like a car engine and transmission. There are some [watch] brands in the United States that do cases and dials, and some purchase everything from Switzerland. They're just designed in the United States, like Shinola watches. You know they’re importing a good chunk of all their stuff. They got in trouble with the FTC for saying it was American made. Slowly more is being done here. Our watch that we’re working on is the first time since the sixties that all the parts, all the little parts, everything are made in the United States. The old series, the Infinity series, that we sold out on, we were making the case, the hands and the dial. So not the movement of the watch. That was according to plan. I did the Infinity Series to have the funding to grow the company enough to be able to make the movement. Some people make the mistake of trying to do the movement, which is the most difficult thing, right off the bat. And if it’s not a critical success, then they’re out of business. Graff: Why do people buy expensive watches? Shapiro: I guess the best example is if you look at the car world. You can buy a Toyota or Honda, and it’ll get you from point A to B, and you can also buy McLaren and it’ll get you from point A to B. From the outside observer, they say, okay, the McLaren looks cooler and rich people buy it. But then you get into the engine. You know the car goes fast—very, very fast. There’s a ton of engineering that goes into the car to make it be able to do that. The quality of the parts that are in the car are produced at a much higher level than in a car that’s mass produced. It’s the same thing for a watch. It tells the time, but the quality and time that we put into each and every one of the parts is astronomic. [A watch] is something that’ll last hundreds of years. It’s a piece of art, and it’s functional art that you can wear on your wrist. Art is the spice of life. It’s not something that’s necessary for you to eat, or live. But it’s what makes our civilization special beyond just being a toy for wealthy people. When someone sees a work of art it’s inspiring, and that’s what we do with our watches. They’re more than just time telling devices. Question: What is your favorite watch?

Alan Skorski recently interviewed Award-winning journalist and author of the watchdog Jewish news Substack, AFTER OCTOBER 7, Kevin Deutsch, to talk about the new state of America where Jews are being targeted by both the far left and far right. The interview opened with Skorski stating that deep blue states like NY elected Mamdani for Mayor in NYC, while in a solid red state like Florida, antisemite James Fishback is running as a GOP candidate for Governor while Dan Blizerian is challenging Jewish Republican Randy Fine for his Congressional seat. According to Deutsch, the Far left began their campaign against Israel as part of their “social justice” agenda, promoting the blood-libel accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. On the far right, antisemites like James Fishback, running for Governor in Florida, exploited the left's antisemitism to advance their own vitriol against Jews. Deutsch revealed that so-called America-ONLY Fishback has received substantial donations form Democratic Muslims who support his antisemitism. According to Deutsch, the Democrats are done with Israel as was evidenced by 40 Democrat Senators who supported Bernie Sanders' bill to stop all military aid to Israel. Deutsch said that the GOP must put up a firewall to stop people like Fishback, or Israel will have no support in America, and Jews will be isolated. On drawing parallels between America today and 1930's Germany, Skorski said that Hitler created the “Nazi movement,” whereas today, movements have been created to turn the government against Israel. Deutsch said that Israel is being attacked by a professional propaganda campaign funded by Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, and supported by other left-wing NGO's that have overwhelmed Israel and their ability to fight the destructive information war. “The DSA, Democratic Socialist of America, like the Nazis, are employing a purity test” according to Deutsch, where opposing Israel, regardless of any other issue, is mandatory. The DSA is seating candidates at every level in every contest in America. Whether it's the school board or local civil rights commissions, the DSA are getting their candidates in. It's a bottom-up movement that is turning Jews into proxies for Israel. On the topic of AIPAC-TRACKER, which posts which candidates receive funding from AIPAC, the 2-person group is made up of a Marxist and Groyper. They have singled out AIPAC in order to strip Jews of their civil rights to support Israel. Kevin Deutsch talked about “tokenization,” where he cited J Street, Rahm Emmanuel, and disappointingly, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who, through their public bashing of Israel, have created a “social permission structure” to the left to bash Israel, and by extension, the Jews.

The American Lung Association is out with their 2026 State of the Air Report, and more than half of Pennsylvania's counties have some form of air pollution. 37 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties received less-than-perfect grades for either ozone or particle pollution - and that includes 9 counties in our listening area - Adams, Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Northumberland and York. Gov. Josh Shapiro announced two Western Pennsylvania coal plants will push back their retirement date by at least four more years. Pennsylvania received $193 million this year from the Rural Health Transformation Program. But the state's rural health leaders worry that the money isn't enough. They say that health systems already face financial gaps with more to come from expected changes to Medicaid. Federal funding for public media has been rescinded.

It's primary season, this time against a backdrop of heightened concerns and awareness of powerful figures skirting accountability for sexual abuse and misconduct. Survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have “made accountability for sexual abuse and sexual violence an electoral issue,” says Intercept politics reporter Jessica Washington. One of the biggest stories to shake up politics in recent weeks are sexual assault allegations that upended Rep. Eric Swalwell's bid to become the next governor of California, forcing the Democratic front-runner to also resign from his House seat. “You also have to give some credit to Democrats as well for immediately moving on these allegations very swiftly,” says Washington.This week on The Intercept Briefing, Washington and Intercept senior politics reporter Akela Lacy speak to host Jordan Uhl about the themes emerging this midterm election season. They talk about how the crowded California gubernatorial race is boosting Republicans to the top of the ticket to why powerful factions of the Democratic Party are hyperfixating on Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, rather than leveraging Trump's sinking approval rating. “This is about not wanting to share power with the left,” notes Washington.They also discuss what makes a candidate or elected official a progressive. “We've seen a lot of candidates, particularly 2028 candidates, whether senatorial or gubernatorial, who have had long-standing relationships with AIPAC or demonstrated pro-Israel policy records like Rahm Emanuel, Cory Booker, Josh Shapiro, Ruben Gallego, all come out now against AIPAC or distancing themselves from AIPAC,” says Lacy. “It doesn't really matter if you're rejecting AIPAC money, if you aren't changing any of the policies that you adopt with respect to how the U.S. treats Israel.”For all that and more listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen.Keep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

Towns across the U.S. are now grappling with what it means to have ICE detention centers in their backyard — even communities that overwhelmingly voted for President Donald Trump and support his deportation efforts.Last week, hundreds of protestors showed up outside a Maryland courtroom while a federal judge temporarily blocked the construction of a detention center in the state. That pause will remain in place as a lawsuit from the the state's attorney general plays out. And last month, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro blocked ICE's access to water and sewage systems in two different counties where warehouses were bought. Local leaders argue these warehouses would overwhelm city resources.So, what are conditions like in these facilities?

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro stops by the studio to talk to Jon Lovett about Trump's war in Iran, growing antisemitism and Islamophobia in America, and what it'll take for Democrats to learn how to do big things again. The two then unpack what it takes for a politician to honestly change their mind, ask the Governor's sister — who was sitting in the studio — to fact-check his claims about growing up as a troublemaker, and debate whether a calm, collected approach to politics can also be cool in our current political moment.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
