About this episode

The episode discusses Eric Swalwell's political downfall amid allegations and the implications for the Democratic party, alongside other political topics.

- Trump launches a blockade on Iranian shipping, escalating pressure fast after failed red-line talks and turning the Strait of Hormuz into the next major battlefield. - Eric Swalwell’s political career detonates after sexual-assault allegations, explicit behavior, and past hypocrisy collide all at once, forcing him out of the California governor’s race. - Democrats are accused of knowing for years that Swalwell was reckless and predatory, only abandoning him once he becomes too toxic to win statewide. - Kamala Harris all but signals another presidential run, while Mark Kelly leans into race-conscious DEI rhetoric so hard it sounds like parody. - New York’s slide under Zohran Mamdani gets darker as a cop is sent to prison for trying to stop a fleeing drug dealer, reinforcing the sense that criminals get mercy while police get crushed.
