Hello, my name is Cesar calling from Iowa.

I'm currently trying to finish a 15 page paper from our policy analysis class, but procrastinating by recording this time stamp.

This podcast was recorded at I just went to buy red bull when I was procrastinating. This feels like more ambitious than that.

It's to a two Eastern on Thursday, April 21st.

Things may have changed by the time you hear this, but I will possibly still be procrastinating this paper or

maybe finishing it. Who knows? Enjoy the show.

As a procrastinator myself, I deeply feel him. As an Iowan procrastinator myself, I deeply feel him too.

Hey there, it's the in Fair Politics podcast. I'm Scott Detero, I cover the White House.

I'm Danielle Kurtzley, then I cover demographics and culture. And I'm Susan Davis, I cover Congress.

And Danielle, today we are going to talk a lot about a report that you just finished up looking at the fact that a number of Republican candidates running for Congress have been accused of domestic violence and other forms of abuse.

And he is now running in the Republican primary to unseat Raphael Warnock, the Democrat who currently holds that Senate seat.

Now, Herschel Walker is accused of some pretty ugly to put it mildly behavior.

He's accused by his ex-wife, a woman named Cindy Grossman. They were married for nearly two decades of being quite violent with her on numerous occasions, including holding a gun to her head multiple times, threatening her with nine.

She says she once passed out during an altercation. She thought he had choked her and that's how it happened.

Not to get too deep into this, but there are a lot of really ugly allegations there. Plus allegations from two other women.
