Swalwell Scandal Explodes As DC Gets Messier By The Minute

About this episode

Meghan McCain and Miranda Wilkins discuss the Eric Swalwell scandal and its implications on politics and media.

Meghan McCain is back with Miranda Wilkins breaking down one of the most disturbing political scandals in recent memory. Congressman Eric Swalwell is facing serious sexual assault allegations and the fallout is already reshaping the California governor’s race. The conversation goes deeper than headlines, into what was known behind the scenes and why these stories often stay buried until it is too late. Katie Pavlich joins to unpack the Iran situation, rising tensions overseas, and why messaging from leadership is leaving people uneasy. There is also a look at the growing divide inside conservative media, why the so-called podcast wars are getting more chaotic, and what it says about the state of politics right now. Plus a few lighter moments on pop culture, TV chaos, and the kind of off-the-rails conversations that showcases Meghan and Miranda's real friendship. Learn more about your ad choices.
