Here we go again, as we add another congressman to a growling list of lawmakers accused of inappropriate sexual conduct. This time, it’s Democrat Jimmy Gomez from California, and while he admits to having made “mistakes outside his marriage” he insists he did not violate house ethics rules. He says this because, the “mistakes” he’s referring to occurred with a House staffer, just not HIS staffer. It’s a loophole in the ethics rules, but the committee is looking into whether the incidents were consensual or unwelcome. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just a heads-up – this episode contains references to alleged sexual assault and may not be suitable for everyone, so please take care when listening. Jared Leto is an Oscar winner, a rock star, a cult leader and now the focus of serious questions. The 54-year-old has been seen onscreen in the likes of Fight Club, American Psycho, and Blade Runner 2049, while also finding the time to tour the world with his band Thirty Seconds to Mars. But a BBC investigation has revealed an array of allegations against the actor, with a new documentary presenting the accounts of 10 different accusers. The allegations against Leto span more than a decade and include claims of sexual assault, grooming and inappropriate behaviour with underage girls. Leto has categorically denied the claims. Is his gilded career in jeopardy or is the Hollywood of 2026 more comfortable overlooking such a scandal? On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Kevin Doyle is joined by Alice McShane, director of BBC documentary Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret, to hear how the investigation came together, and by the Irish Independent's Dave Hanratty to look at Jared Leto's career to date.

In this episode of One in Ten, host Teresa Huizar speaks with researcher Dr. Elizabeth Jeglic about preventing educator sexual misconduct, which has increased in schools even as abuse rates have declined in other youth-serving settings. Dr. Jeglic describes limited prior research since a 2004 Department of Education report and presents her team's survey of 6,600 recent high school graduates: 11.7% reported some form of educator sexual misconduct and about 1% reported contact abuse, with survivors reporting grooming as a near-universal pathway.

Welcome to Without a Country, where we break down the biggest stories in politics, culture, and the internet without the usual filter.This episode covers a wide range of topics, starting with the LA mayor race and why Spencer Pratt is being taken more seriously than people expected. There's also a surprising shift from Perez Hilton after a near-death experience that completely changed his perspective.We get into the situation between Alex Cooper and Alex IRL and what it says about the podcast and influencer space right now. From there, the conversation moves into a New York Times op-ed, the idea of a “liberal Joe Rogan,” and why figures like Hasan Piker keep coming up in media discussions.There's also a longer breakdown of Zionism, anti-Zionism, and how the meaning of those terms has evolved, along with how younger generations are viewing Israel and Palestine differently.Later in the episode, we talk about the SantaCon fraud story and how something that's supposed to be charitable turned into a major scandal. Then we spend time unpacking the allegations against Eric Swalwell and the larger conversation around power, politics, and sexual misconduct.The episode wraps up with a deeper look at global conflict, including the situation in the West Bank and what it could mean going forward.00:00:00 Intro00:02:30 Show Overview News, Politics, Culture00:02:50 LA Mayor Race Spencer Pratt vs Karen Bass00:05:00 Perez Hilton Near-Death and Religious Shift00:09:50 Alex Cooper vs Alex IRL Drama00:12:30 Call Her Daddy Industry Tension00:15:10 NYT Op-Ed Breakdown Ezra Klein00:17:00 Liberal Joe Rogan Debate00:21:00 Hasan Piker and Media Hypocrisy00:26:00 Zionism vs Anti-Zionism Deep Dive00:32:00 Language, Politics and Online Narratives00:36:00 Israel, Gaza and Lebanon Discussion00:39:00 Democrats, Media Strategy and Cancel Culture00:41:20 Why Conversation Matters More Than Agreement00:45:00 Cancel Culture Backfiring00:49:30 Algorithm Clips and Misrepresentation00:51:00 SantaCon Fraud Scandal NYC00:54:30 Money Laundering and Arrest Breakdown00:55:50 Patreon and Show Support01:00:00 Eric Swalwell Allegations Begin01:02:00 Power, Politics and Timing of Accusations01:08:00 Additional Accusers and Misconduct Claims01:12:00 Workplace Dynamics and Power Imbalance01:18:00 Believability vs Political Strategy01:25:00 Sexual Misconduct in Politics01:35:00 Cultural Patterns and Repeated Behavior01:45:00 Global Abuse Cases and Survivor Stories01:48:30 Case Studies and Trauma Impact02:00:00 Trust, Trauma and Psychological Fallout02:10:00 Justice System Failures02:20:00 Gender, Power and Media Commentary02:35:00 Audience Reflection and Societal Patterns02:50:00 Political Media and Messaging Frustrations02:55:00 NYC Politics and Content Strategy03:00:00 Final Israel and West Bank Discussion03:01:00 Settler Violence and Long-Term Consequences03:05:00 Outro and CreditsSUBSCRIBE TO THE PATREON:https://patreon.com/WithoutACountry?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkFOLLOW WITHOUT A COUNTRY ON IG: @withoutacountryppodcastFOLLOW CORINNE ON IG: @philanthropygalFOLLOW MIKE ON IG: @themharringtonLiberal Joe Rogan Op Ed: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/opinion/hasan-piker-democrats.htmlENEMY OF THE STATE: Santaconhttps://archive.is/gkNzfDICTATOR = Christopher FanguyCapitalist Pigs, Cuties!Hello to my newest Capitalist Pig = Xana RogersMAIN STORYEric Swalwell (and Tony Gonzalez) https://www.thecut.com/article/all-the-allegations-against-eric-swalwell.htmlhttps://www.archivebuttons.com/articles?article=https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/04/eric-swalwell-abuse-allegations-lewd-photos.html#google_vignettehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/04/15/swalwell-allegations-democrats-california-rise/Tony Gonzalez'https://archive.is/QUgSSCutie Cornerhttps://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/pennsylvania-man-pleads-guilty-creating-and-distributing-animal-crush-videosGUUUURLTicketmasterhttps://www.npr.org/2026/04/15/nx-s1-5786715/live-nation-ticketmaster-antitrust-verdict-monopolyTrump As Jesushttps://archive.is/snmkZSurveillance in Americahttps://www.npr.org/2026/04/14/nx-s1-5768270/what-to-know-about-section-702-surveillanceSam Altmanhttps://archive.is/ClM50Hungarian electionhttps://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2026/04/13/hungary-election-orban-defeat-message-democrats-00868584https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/world/europe/viktor-orban-peter-magyar-election.htmlIsrael/Lebanonhttps://www.democracynow.org/2026/4/15/headlines/lebanon_and_israel_hold_first_direct_talks_in_more_than_three_decadesFP article actually critical of Israelhttps://www.thefp.com/p/israel-has-an-extremism-problem?utm_campaign=260347&utm_source=cross-post&r=3l2hy&utm_medium=emailSexual Violence by IDFhttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/i-wished-death-sexual-violence-israels-prisons-organised-state-policySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Last Friday, a former staffer for California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) accused the Congressman of making unwanted advances, sexual assault, and rape.

MAGA's biggest voices are openly turning against Donald Trump over the Iran war, and Hawk breaks down exactly what Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are saying about their own president. John Favreau delivers a dramatic reading of Trump's unhinged all-caps Truth Social post responding to the revolt, and it has to be seen to be believed. Eric Swalwell's carefully worded denial of a CNN exposé gets dissected line by line. Swalwell does not deny sending unsolicited explicit photos and videos to multiple women. He does not deny sexual contact with accusers. He denies only that specific encounters constitute sexual assault. The distinction matters, and Hawk walks through exactly what Swalwell said and, more importantly, what he refused to say. Nearly every major Democratic endorsement, including Adam Schiff, has already been pulled. Hassan Piker's Pod Save America interview with Jon Favreau drops today, including his claim that the Republican Party is the world's biggest terrorist organization. Hawk weighs in on the coordinated establishment Democrat and Third Way campaign targeting Piker, arguing it has everything to do with his criticism of Israel and nothing else. Tucker Carlson gets confronted live on camera by BBC host Victoria Derbyshire over Holocaust-denying and Nazi-sympathizing guests, including Nick Fuentes. Tim Dillon suggests Trump should admit the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt was staged. Viktor Orbán loses his election in Hungary today, and MAGA is devastated. Hawk reads the reactions, including commentators mourning the fall of their authoritarian blueprint while making their Islamophobia very clear.

Hawk, a retired 28-year trial attorney, walks through the CNN article and the New York Times report revealing that the Manhattan District Attorney has opened a criminal investigation into Swalwell, calling on additional victims to come forward. The pattern of conduct alleged, targeting young women who worked for him, volunteered for him, or simply admired him politically, points to a serial abuse of power. Swalwell has denied all allegations, called them false, and has had his attorneys send cease and desist letters threatening defamation suits against two of his accusers. Hawk addresses the legal standard for defamation and why those letters may say more about intimidation than innocence. Also addressed: the troubling response from a vocal segment of liberal women on social media who are publicly refusing to believe the accusers, drawing a direct parallel to the defense of Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. With corroborating evidence, witness testimony, and a Manhattan DA investigation now underway, Hawk argues Swalwell must drop out of the governor's race and resign his House seat.
