Summary
Adam and Dr. Drew open the show by digging into the controversies surrounding Eric Swalwell and his decision to drop out of the California governor’s race, then react to an old clip of the Rosie O’Donnell Show and compare Rosie’s personality then versus now. They also take on a Ro Khanna immigration debate clip, a video from one of Swalwell’s accusers describing the alleged assault, and the political safety nets that protect powerful people from allegations, before Adam vents about people who rush to public press conferences after tragedies instead of handling real problems privately.
