A long‑forgotten college poem written by a young Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell has suddenly resurfaced, stirring new attention with its intense, theatrical imagery.

The Daily Mail uncovered a sexually graphic poem penned by the Democrat from California apparently written when he was 19 years old ... and it is wild! Titled "Hungover From Burgundy," the poem describes two lovers who meet at the top of a hotel for "formless and magnificent" sex. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan has bristled at being labeled right-leaning while stressing he’s a lifelong Democrat. His hiring of a self-described conservative to run his California governor campaign could fuel fresh skepticism. Voter records show Mahan’s 23-year-old campaign manager, Adrian Rafizadeh, registered as a Republican in 2020. Governor Gavin Newsom announced an expanded partnership between California and the United Kingdom to tackle climate change and promote sustainable development together. He concluded the trip at UK clean-tech unicorn Octopus Energy, which is committing nearly $1 billion to California companies and projects focused on clean technologies and nature-based solutions.

Congressman Tom Emmer joins Sid live in-studio to touch upon Sid's frustration about not being invited yet to next week's State of the Union speech in Washington, D.C. before he speaks on the backlash over comments that the Super Bowl halftime show should be in English or at least provide translations, arguing the NFL's choices were driven by money and deals, including with Amazon, and expressing a preference for more familiar music. Emmer describes being in New York for a wedding and doing media rounds on Presidents' Day, praises several New York Republicans as hardworking, and harshly criticizes Democratic members such as Nadler, Raskin, and Swalwell. Sid and Tom talk about State of the Union decorum, including Democrats' shirts and paddles, the possibility of enforcing rules more strictly. The conversation then shifts to a looming DHS funding standoff and potential impacts on TSA workers, while Emmer argues Democrats are disconnected from voters on border security, cites large numbers of people pulled from Minneapolis and thousands of migrant children allegedly lost by the Biden administration, and says Democrats broke promises on a bipartisan bill that already included reforms and body-camera funding, leaving them with no message beyond opposition to Trump.

Greg Kelly and guest Joel Gilbert discuss a fatal confrontation in Minneapolis, framing the incident as a justified law enforcement action while dismissing attempts to humanize the deceased driver. The conversation shifts toward a critique of Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell, specifically challenging his legal eligibility to run for Governor of California due to alleged residency violations. Gilbert details a personal encounter at a town hall to portray Swalwell as an ambitious radical driven by psychological rebellion against his parents rather than genuine policy.

As the scandal around ICE's killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis gets worse, two leading Democrats—Representatives Eric Swalwell and Daniel Goldman—are set to introduce a new bill reining in ICE. It would end qualified immunity for civil enforcement officers like ICE agents, making it easier for victims of their abuses to sue them or pursue criminal charges against them in court. All this comes as top MAGA figures and leading Republicans have flatly defended the killing in some truly ghoulish displays. This, even as powerful new video analyses from The New York Times and The Washington Post show unequivocally that the shooting was at minimum absolutely unjustified. We talked to Swalwell and Goodman about their new proposal, the need for the state of Minnesota to prosecute the shooter, the folly of expecting the FBI to investigate the killing, and the need to functionally end ICE's existence over the long term.

The Democrats narrative on ICE is dangerous, and the corporate media is fanning the flames. From morning TV to late-night, the narrative is all controlled by the liberal propaganda. Part of this propaganda is to sanctify Renee Good who got shot and died after trying to run over an ICE agent. Politicians like Jasmine Crockett and Eric Swalwell put on a show in congress and behind their fake tears calls for sacrificing life to fight back is ok and the democratic party is on board with it.

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into battlegrounds for America's future, but here we are in early January 2026, and President Donald Trump's legal wars are heating up like never before. Just days ago, on Tuesday, January 6, SCOTUSblog reminded us of that historic New York Times Company v. Sullivan case from 1964, where the Supreme Court protected the press from libel suits—timely now as tensions simmer between Trump and media outlets. But that's history; the real fireworks are exploding right now.Picture this: the Supreme Court is gearing up for its January 12 argument session in Washington, D.C., with seven massive cases, several straight from Trump's playbook. Axios reports that top of the list is Trump v. Barbara, where the justices could rule any moment on his executive order slashing birthright citizenship. Trump wants to deny U.S. citizenship to kids of undocumented immigrants born here, challenging over a century of 14th Amendment precedent. Businesses like Costco, Revlon, Bumble Bee Foods, and Ray-Ban makers are suing over another bombshell—Trump's tariffs. In Learning v. Trump, they're fighting his national emergency declaration that slapped billions in duties on imports without Congress's okay. Trump boasted on Truth Social it's the "most case ever," but a loss could mean refunding over $100 billion. Then there's Trump v. Slaughter, pitting Trump against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and FTC's Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Slaughter, whom he fired for clashing with his policies. The court will decide if he can boot independent agency heads, smashing 90-year-old protections.Just Security's litigation tracker paints an even wilder picture of chaos in lower courts. In D.C.'s federal district court, Taylor v. Trump challenges Executive Order 14164, where Attorney General Pam Bondi shuffled death row inmates to ADX Florence supermax under Trump's public safety push—plaintiffs scream due process violations. The National Association of the Deaf sued Trump, Chief of Staff Susan Wiles, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for axing ASL interpreters at White House briefings, claiming First and Fifth Amendment breaches. Law firms aren't safe either: Susman Godfrey out of Texas hit back at an executive order yanking their security clearances for opposing Trump; Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, and WilmerHale face similar retaliation suits in D.D.C., alleging viewpoint discrimination. The American Bar Association sued over yanked grants from the Office on Violence Against Women, calling it payback for their stances. Even Rep. Eric Swalwell's in the mix with Swalwell v. Pute, targeting Trump's criminal arrest pushes.Politico says grand juries are Trump's new nightmare—refusing indictments left and right on his aggressive policies, from protester crackdowns to immigrant roundups. U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan blasted prosecutors for "rushed" cases with weak evidence. And in a wild international twist, CBS News covered ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and wife Cilia Flores arraigned Monday in Manhattan's federal courthouse before Judge Alvin Hellerstein. Whisked by helicopter from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center under heavy security, Maduro pled not guilty to narco-terrorism, cocaine smuggling, and weapons charges—facing life in prison—while insisting he's still Venezuela's president.The Supreme Court's emergency docket, like in 25A312, keeps deferring stays till January arguments, per their own filings. Lawfare's tracker logs non-stop national security suits against Trump's moves. It's a legal whirlwind, listeners, with the high court poised to reshape everything from guns in Wolford v. Lopez against Hawaii's private property ban, to conversion therapy fights in Miles v. Salazar.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

Jonathan Martin, the politics bureau chief and senior political columnist at POLITICO joins the Chuck ToddCast to walk through his bold predictions for the political landscape heading into 2026, starting with the idea that Donald Trump’s second term is less about governing and more about validation, legacy, and self-mythmaking. The conversation explores Trump as a pop-culture figure obsessed with monuments, family dynasty, and loyalty—rather than policy—along with why the country proved vulnerable to a political huckster in the first place. Martin breaks down why a Supreme Court vacancy could reshape the cycle, why GOP turnout may sag without Trump on the ballot, and which Senate races—from Nebraska to Florida to Ohio—could unexpectedly come into play. The episode also looks ahead to the fault lines inside both parties: potential Trump family bids, early jockeying for the post-Trump GOP, and Democratic candidates who may help—or hurt—their own chances. Martin weighs in on foreign policy flashpoints that could define the next two years, from Iran to Venezuela to Trump’s transactional approach with China, as well as internal administration instability and cabinet shakeups. Plus, sharp takes on approval ratings, California’s unsettled political bench, why political dynasties still matter, and—because it wouldn’t be a Chuck Todd conversation without it—a few college football predictions to close things out.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck tackles one of the most consequential counterfactuals in modern history: what if 9/11 never happened? He explores how the attacks fundamentally altered the American psyche, shattered a post–Cold War sense of security, and transformed how Americans consume news, driving the demand for instant information and accelerating the technologies that now dominate our lives. The conversation examines how U.S. politics, foreign policy, and polarization might have evolved without the War on Terror—no Patriot Act, no Department of Homeland Security, no Iraq War—and whether the political forces that produced figures like Trump and Obama would have emerged at all. From global relationships with Russia and China to the delayed reckoning over economic inequality and partisan division, this episode traces the ripple effects of an event that reshaped everything, and asks what might have filled the vacuum if it had never occurred.

Serious crime numbers have been released. Across the board, serious crime has declined dramatically over the past year. However, a handful of large U.S. cities have seen some of those stats actually climb. We have the details in today's show.In an unusual statement, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she did not intend to tear President Trump's script for his State of the Union speech when she was still Speaker of the House. The full story is detailed in today's show.California Governor-wannabe, Eric Swalwell, was sent out to appear on the Sunday talk shows. His orders this Sunday were to stir the media one more time to attack President Trump because his Department of Justice is slow-walking the release of all the Epstein documents. Swalwell obviously doesn't care about his reputation for lying because he thinks Americans are too stupid to remember that Democrats controlled all U.S. agencies during Obama's eight years as President and Biden's four years. Why did they not investigate any of this?

We hope you had a fabulous Christmas Day!Today, we caught our listeners up to the latest important news events from across the U.S. and around the World. One can imagine that, though the World slept and largely enjoyed the Christmas spirit, many who do not subscribe to the Christmas Story and to God's son being born in this season. However, much of the World celebrated.President Trump did not take a vacation. He ordered a military strike against radical Islamists who had for years been brutally slaughtering Christians in North Africa for no other reason than their Christianity! We are awaiting the details of the attacks. However, we were told it was a "systematic" event for one purpose: to Stop the murders of Christians.California Rep. Eric Swalwell has once again proven that he has little, if any, relationship with "Truth." He casually tried to equate illegal aliens who crossed our southern border with Jesus, his mother, and father. Swallwell maintains the family of Jesus was comprised of "illegal migrants." That lie Swalwell told is far from the truth.We were informed that 1 million additional Epstein documents will be released this week. "And the hits just keep on coming!" Studying and compiling the substance of these "new" revelations will take months. The redactions of numerous names from these documents will make it difficult to provide precise, concise details to Americans. Of course, the Left will push forward with their "version" of every questionable reference listed in the documents. They're still desperate to somehow loop Trump into the responsibility for all wrongdoing that may be exposed.

East Bay Insiders welcomes Carla Marinucci back to the pod. We dive into reports that Attorney General Rob Bonta is eyeing a run for governor. What does it mean for Rep. Eric Swalwell's own ambitions? Did Swalwell miss a window to run for AG, and could a Bonta–Swalwell rivalry be shaping up? We break down the early race to replace Swalwell in Congress, featuring State Sen. Aisha Wahab and BART Director Melissa Hernandez, and revisit how shifting district lines once helped Swalwell rise. On the local front, we talk Costco coming to Oakland, led by Councilmember "Kirkland" Carroll Fife, why landing a Costco can be a fiscal game-changer for cities—and how Oakland might mess it up. We also cover Pamela Price's comeback bid for Alameda County district attorney and what the dismissal of charges against former San Leandro officer Jason Fletcher means for the 2026 primary. Plus, a remembrance of San Leandro Mayor Stephen Cassidy, reflecting on his leadership and lasting impact on the East Bay. Don't miss Episode 122, featuring the 3rd Annual Insidey Awards.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Congressman and hopefully future California Governor, Eric Swalwell, to cut through the chaos of Trump's America. We break down Trump's potentially illegal attacks on so-called “drug boats” and how Congress is finally pushing back. We also unpack the explosive Russia–Ukraine peace-talk leaks, Trump's escalating attacks on immigrants, and the cracks forming inside the MAGA movement. I also ask Swalwell about his decision to leave the House to run for Governor, and how he plans to keep holding Trump accountable from a new seat of power.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the Pentagon's new Inspector General findings on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's use of the Signal app, Eric Swalwell's push for voting by phone, new revelations about how the Afghan terrorist in Washington was radicalized, a Senate bill that would end dual citizenship, and promising research on depression and mental health. Pentagon IG Clears Hegseth of Wrongdoing: The Inspector General found that senior Trump officials violated protocol by discussing Yemen strike operations on the Signal app, but that Hegseth had legal authority to declassify what he shared. The report warns that using personal devices creates risk, although no adversary appears to have intercepted the information. Bryan describes the episode as sloppy tradecraft that prompted the administration to tighten internal communications procedures. Swalwell Pushes Voting by Phone: California Democrat Eric Swalwell is proposing phone-based voting, insisting it can be secure. Bryan counters with his CIA experience, explaining that any phone-based voting system would be a prime target for foreign intelligence services. He argues that electronic voting in any form creates undetectable vulnerabilities that nations like China and Russia would exploit. How the Afghan Terrorist Was Radicalized: New reporting shows that Rahmanullah Lakanwal told his wife he was meeting with members of the Tablighi Jamaat, a Deobandi revivalist movement with a long history of extremism. The group has terror cells in parts of the United States, and Lakanwal previously assisted the CIA in killing their members overseas. Bryan explains why investigators are now trying to determine whether cells in Phoenix, San Diego, Chicago, Indianapolis, or on the East Coast are connected to the attack. Senator Proposes Ending Dual Citizenship: Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno introduced a bill requiring Americans to hold only United States citizenship. He argues that dual allegiance creates legal and security conflicts and says becoming an American should be an all-or-nothing commitment. Bryan encourages listeners who support the idea to contact their senators and weigh in. Mental Health Research Offers Hope: Studies show that taking a weeklong break from social media reduces depression and insomnia. British researchers also found that nitrous oxide treatments can rapidly improve severe depression when other therapies fail, and exercise and time in nature remain highly effective for anxiety and mood disorders.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Pentagon IG report, Signal app, Pete Hegseth declassification authority, Eric Swalwell voting by phone, NSA hacking risks electronic voting, Rahmanullah Lakanwal Tablighi Jamaat radicalization, dual citizenship, Exclusive Citizenship Act, depression research nitrous oxide, social media break mental health

Pritzker claimed that President Trump's deployment of the National Guard was an "attack on the American people" and will be used to "stop the 2026 elections." Two Guardsmen are now dead about being shot on the streets in DC.Just a few weeks ago, Oregon Congresswoman Maxine Dexter (D) said the National Guard coming to cities is tyrannical and dangerous. Two National Guardsmen were just shot.Elissa Slotkin (D), one of the seditious six, suggested a few days ago that the national guard will start randomly shooting at Americans. She knew this was a lie yet said it anyway. Now two national guardsmen were shot. She knew what she was doing.Swalwell claims members of the military tell him “we shouldn't count them out as a check on abuses of power” by Trump. He then compares the US military to congress and the judiciary as checks on executive power. WHAT?Democrat leaders and activists claimed the national guard is “rounding black people up and putting them in detainment camps." Now two national guardsmen were just ass*ssinatedThe National Lawyers Guild (NLG) , the 501(c)(3) far-left legal group that advocates for Antifa violence and helps them escape justice, has launched a project to encourage seditious actions against the President.  (NLG are made up of communists and anarchist extremists. They help Antifa at riots and wear green hats or helmets.) The NLG says it might be illegal for the military to assist in the removal of illegal foreign nationals, responding to civilian rioters, assisting law enforcement personnel, or attacking enemy vessels at sea.  "You might later be court-martialed for war crimes or charged with violations of the law of war or human rights law. Some treaties provide for 'universal jurisdiction' for war crimes, torture, etc., with no statute of limitations, so you could be arrested in any country at any time."Psaki and MSNOW amplify the 'Dems will prosecute anyone taking part in the Mark Kelly investigation' intimidation campaign: Psaki: “What do you think the consequences should be for people who are abiding by following these steps from the Commander In Chief?" Kirschner: "They're following unlawful commands from Donald Trump. And if you're committing offenses and your defense is going to be 'I was just following orders' — You know, that didn't work out so well at Nuremberg."MS NOW's Ken Dilanian just after 3pm Eastern on the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington D.C… "[O]f course, you know, there's so much controversy happening in the United States right now with ice, who are also wearing uniforms and wearing masks. And so there's, you don't know, people walking around with uniforms in an American city. There are some Americans that might object to that. And so apparently this shooting has happened."This is the most disgusting news segment I've ever posted in my life. Nicolle Wallace and Al Sharpton are suggesting that Trump caused the attack on our brave men of the National Guard. These people are sickening and don't deserve to have a platform to spew their bullsht.CNN guest just a few weeks ago compared the National Guard to nazis. Two National Guard members were just shot in D.C. These Democrats know exactly what they're doing. They wanted violence against the National Guard.Dr Jerry Cannon of First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte posits that Hebrews 13:2 (Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares) is about loving illegal immigrants and those "whose legal status is uncertain."

Congressman Eric Swalwell is kicking off his run for Governor by filing suit accusing the Trump administration of abusing its power. It all revolves around a criminal investigation accusing him of mortgage fraud. Swalwell will be one of the front runners in the race, but how do his qualifications stack up compared to others in the race?

November 30, 2025; 9am: Four democratic congressmembers are among the group of lawmakers under investigation by President Trump's DOJ and FBI after they urged military personnel to refuse “illegal orders.” They released a statement in response saying, “No amount of intimidation or harassment will ever stop us from doing our jobs and honoring our constitution.” Plus, Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell is suing Trump's Federal Housing Finance Agency Chief over mortgage fraud allegations and accuses him of abusing his position to go after Trump's critics.

In this explosive episode, Gene and Michael break down one of the most chaotic political weeks in recent memory. From lawmakers allegedly encouraging military insurrection… to John Bolton and James Comey facing serious legal consequences… to Eric Swalwell announcing a run for governor while drowning in scandal — the walls are closing in on the Democrat machine.We discuss:✔️ Claims that Democrat lawmakers are encouraging military defiance ✔️ Why these actions could carry serious legal consequences ✔️ Trump's strict adherence to the law — and why it drives the Left crazy ✔️ Bolton and Comey's courtroom battles ✔️ Swalwell's run for governor and the scandals he's trying to outrun ✔️ Pelosi's long-term influence on the Democrat meltdown ✔️ The national and global shift toward strong leadership ✔️ Why term limits are becoming a louder national demandGene also shares personal experiences from international leaders questioning America's direction — and why the silent majority is finally pushing back.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they enjoy watching social media accounts purporting to be Americans get exposed for being based overseas. They also respond to Rep. Eric Swalwell claiming that people vote by phone all over the country and shake their heads at still more insanity from Tennessee Dem Aftyn Behn.First, they applaud Elon Musk for the new feature revealing where X accounts are based. It's exposed some prominent MAGA accounts with no personal names to be based in foreign countries. Also, people claiming to be reporters based in Gaza were discovered to be in several different countries. Jim and Greg offer some helpful tips to avoid getting lured in by these sorts of accounts.Next, they slam Rep. Swalwell, who is now running for Governor of California. In an interview on CNN, Swalwell said he wants Californians to be able to vote through their phones because it's already happening in many places across the country. No, it's not. Jim and Greg also do a quick review of the Democrats in the governor's race and warn Californians that whomever emerges from the primary will be bad news for the state.Finally, they serve another martini on Aftyn Behn, the Democrat running in a special congressional election in Tennessee next week. In addition to comments that she hates Nashville (which is in the congressional district) and country music, she would not walk back anti-police comments from 2020. Now, there is audio of Behn saying she doesn't want children, she wants power, while explaining why she believes women should not have children. Oh, and there's yet another example of her screaming while protesting and being dragged away.Please visit our great sponsors:Reach out.

Today's episode is packed with wild political moments, media hypocrisy, and shocking statements from Washington to Hollywood. We break down MTG's surprise announcement that she's resigning from Congress in 2026—and the 10-minute video that left everyone talking. Trump responds, Jasmine Crockett makes it all about herself (again), and Democrats spin illegal immigration as “good fiscal policy.”Plus: Eric Swalwell launches a California governor run, Cori Bush wants back in Congress, and the ShamWow guy is somehow primarying a Texas Congressman. We dive into Zohran's meeting with Trump, his denial of race-based policies, and why Democrats are still under fire for telling the military to ignore Trump's commands. Then Erika Kirk joins Megyn Kelly, Candace drops assassination claims, and Tucker Carlson roasts Ben Shapiro and Kevin Roberts.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!Sponsored by Omaha Steaks—save big on gifts this Cyber Sale at https://OmahaSteaks.com with 50% off sitewide plus 20% off select favorites and an extra $35 off using promo code CHICKS at checkout.Raise a glass to good wine and great debates this Thanksgiving with https://RepublicanRed.comUse code CHICKS to save $5.  Join their mailing list for exclusive Black Friday offers.Whatever Fall throws at you, make sure you're prepared—visit https://ReadyWise.com/ and use code CHICKS10 for 10% off your order today!Skip the stress and overpriced designer gifts this season—give comfort and confidence with True Classic.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan examines the rising risk of war with Venezuela, secret peace talks over Ukraine, the abduction of Christian schoolchildren in Nigeria, Israel's shifting posture in Gaza and Lebanon, and the domestic political fight over sedition and extremist rhetoric inside the United States government. U.S. and Venezuela Move Closer to War: President Trump authorized covert CIA operations inside Venezuela, prompting the FAA to warn airlines about dangerous conditions in Venezuelan airspace. Reports from Bloomberg, Reuters, and the New York Times confirm GPS jamming and rising military activity. A Russian oil tanker headed for Caracas was turned away twice by the USS Stockdale and is now anchored off Cuba. Bryan notes that the White House still hopes for a peaceful exit by President Maduro, with Colombia offering asylum in exchange for guarantees of no future attempts to kill or arrest him. Trump's Ukraine Peace Plan Faces Pushback: A secret twenty-eight-point peace plan leaked last week, calling for Ukraine to give up parts of the Donbas, reduce its military to six hundred thousand troops, and abandon NATO membership. The plan would also restore economic ties between Russia and the West and release frozen Russian funds for joint rare earth projects. European leaders object, and President Zelenskyy says negotiations must continue, insisting Ukraine needs a larger standing army to deter future invasions. Bryan emphasizes that Trump wants the deal signed by Thanksgiving, warning Zelenskyy that U.S. support may end if he refuses. Ukraine's Deepening Corruption Crisis: Fifteen to thirty percent of aid intended for Ukraine's military and energy needs has been stolen, according to recent reporting. Several allies of Zelenskyy have been arrested, and the president's key aide, Andriy Yermak, is widely suspected of involvement. Ukraine's anti-corruption agency plans more indictments this week, placing Zelenskyy in a weakened negotiating position. Islamists Kidnap Christian Children in Nigeria: Three hundred Christian students were abducted from a Catholic school in central Nigeria. About fifty escaped by fleeing into the forest and hiding until farmers rescued them. Boko Haram and other jihadist factions are believed to be responsible. Bryan warns that these groups aim to build an Islamic caliphate across the Sahel and into the Gulf of Guinea, threatening regional Christians and strategic minerals such as cocoa, iron ore, bauxite, and oil. Trump has warned Nigeria that failure to protect Christians could trigger U.S. military action. Israel Reshapes Gaza and Expands Strikes in Lebanon: U.S. troops are withdrawing from Gaza's coordination center. Israeli, Arab, and vetted Palestinian officials will manage reconstruction in a new "Green Zone," while unvetted Palestinians remain in a devastated area controlled by Hamas. Polling shows Hamas' support has risen inside Gaza, meaning roughly half the population may remain under militant control. Israel also intensified operations in Lebanon, killing Hezbollah's top military commander in a drone strike despite an ongoing ceasefire. Jewish Extremists Spark Crisis in the West Bank: Prime Minister Netanyahu convened emergency meetings after Jewish extremists torched Palestinian homes and cars in a village attack. Israeli officials say about two hundred seventy young men are responsible for the most recent incidents and vow to act. Sedition Caucus Escalates Rhetoric Against Trump: Former CIA, FBI, and military officials who now serve as Democrats in Congress released a video urging service members to resist unlawful orders from President Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin admitted she knows of no unlawful orders but says such orders might come. Bryan calls the effort a psychological operation designed to sow confusion inside the military. Legal experts warn that service members who refuse lawful orders could face court-martial and prison. Trump Meets NYC's Socialist Mayor Elect: Zohran Mamdani met with President Trump on Friday, and the two agreed on issues such as electricity costs and housing. Mamdani later repeated his belief that Trump is a fascist and a Nazi, prompting Republican leaders like Elise Stefanik to call Mamdani a jihadist with a long documented history of radical associations. Bryan argues the evidence strongly supports Stefanik's view and warns against normalizing Mamdani's ideology. Eric Swalwell Runs for Governor of California: Representative Swalwell announced his campaign on Jimmy Kimmel Live, promising to lead the "Resistance" against Trump. Bryan revisits the long-running Chinese influence operation that targeted young California Democrats, including Swalwell, and raises questions about whether the FBI ever thoroughly investigated the network linked to his former associate Fang Fang. Good News in Medicine: Japanese researchers found that the amino acid arginine significantly reduced Alzheimer's-related plaque and inflammation in animal studies. Dosing remains experimental, but Bryan notes it could offer a promising option for families exploring right-to-try pathways.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Put a smile on your face and give joy to your taste buds… Give Masa and Vandy beef tallow chips a try today!

The 2026 race for governor of California is heating up, with East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell announcing his bid on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last night. Swalwell enters an increasingly crowded race that billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer also jumped into this week.

Scott, Marisa and Guy discuss the status of the race as 40% of voters remain undecided.  They also take a look at the contest to fill Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, as San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan becomes the latest candidate joining state Sen.

Episode 4925: Federal Criminal Probe Into Swalwell; Gene Editing And Creating Your Own Future

Harry speaks with Congressman Eric Swalwell about the surge of popular resistance to Trump shown in the “No Kings” rallies and what it means for the president's attempts to remake the country in his image. They tackle Democrats' progress in the shutdown fight, some hopeful signs from the courts, and Trump's latest efforts to weaponize the DOJ. Plus, Rep.
