Summary
First, Chris and Greg react to a longtime Democratic activist claiming Politico was preparing a 2019 report on Eric Swalwell’s alleged sexual misconduct while he was running for president. But after Swalwell dropped out of the race, the story was never published, even though he remained in Congress.
Next, they shudder as hostility towards Israel is now clearly the popular and safest position among Democrats. Abdul El-Sayed, dubbed the Michigan Mamdani, is now tied for the lead in the Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate primary. They also note that every Democratic senator rumored to be considering a presidential run just voted against military aid to Israel.
Then, Chris welcomes a new report from a special Yale University commission outlining where the school has gone wrong on admissions, academics, free speech, soaring tuition costs and more. They hope it marks the beginning of a return to sanity in higher education, but will actions follow the words?
Finally, Chris observes another small but important return to normalcy: some familiar-looking uniforms for the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins.

| 0:19.6 | Christopher J. Scalia, senior fellow |
| 0:21.5 | at the American Enterprise Institute. He is also the author of multiple books, including 13 novels |
| 0:27.2 | conservatives will love, but probably haven't read. And perhaps most important, although that's a |
| 0:32.4 | personal bias of mine, Chicago Bears fan. So, Chris, great to have you with us. It's great to be here. Thanks for having |
| 0:39.1 | me on, Greg. And I got to say, I like what you've been doing in the Irishman's absence. |
| 0:44.0 | You've been creating a real pison paloosa between Ken Cuccinelli yesterday and me today. |

| 0:55.3 | Yes. Well, I got to get some Greek sponsors for myself. But, yeah, so you and Cuchinelli are |
| 1:00.6 | definitely holding down the fort for the Italians in a very strong way. Great to have you with us. |
| 1:06.4 | And I guess the story of the week, Chris, has been Eric Swalwell, from the eruption of the |
| 1:10.8 | scandal last |
| 1:11.6 | weekend to his resignation and additional rape allegations this week. |
| 1:16.8 | Might be disbarred and potentially facing jail time, I guess. |
| 1:20.4 | But one of the things that has also flared up in this, of course, is the timing as a result |
| 1:26.9 | of the California governor's race. |
| 1:29.1 | Ruben Gallego, Jim and I talked about him the other day and how much he knew. He claims he knew |
