Summary
John this time talks about congressman Eric Swalwell exiting Congress, the California gubernatorial campaign, and politics in general. Another accuser has come forward, telling reporters Swalwell drugged and raped her while she worked on his staff. He also discusses Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger stopping tax breaks for Confederate groups and new Prime Minister Peter Magyar telling Hungarians he has ended his predecessor’s habit of using state money to fund a number of right-wing organizations and events, including CPAC. Then, John has a discussion on Middle Eastern politics with Deborah Shushan. She sheds light on the ongoing conflict in Lebanon and the broader implications for the region. As tensions rise, John and Deborah explore the complexities of U.S. involvement and the moral questions that arise from Trump's current policies. Next, John interviews Rebecca Novack, author of the provocative new novel "Murder Bimbo." This satirical thriller centers around a queer sex worker embroiled in political violence, raising questions about identity, power, and societal norms. Rebecca shares her writing journey and the challenges of releasing a book that unexpectedly mirrors real-world events. And finally, Comedy Daddy - Keith Price returns once again to chat with listeners about the Republican evils in the world and the Democratic blessings we should cherish and remember.
