01:20:02|The gang digs into Gavin Newsom's one-time affair after the woman in question — Ruby Rippey — published an account of the scandal in Vanity Fair. Will this affect Newsom's 2028 aspirations, or is this episode deserving of different comparisons than Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner.

01:39:58|In a semi-sequel to last week's episode, the gang discusses Darlene Graham's decision to run for a full Senate term, following her appointment to the seat her brother held for more than two decades. Is she a legit candidate, or is this stepping in the way of other politicians with more experience who might want this rare opportunity?

Fresh off some big primary wins in NYC and Colorado, who should be the most overjoyed at these recent successes: Democrats, Republicans, or simply the DSA themselves?Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:20:20 - America at 25000:41:55 - Rise of the DSA01:19:19 - Emails01:31:13 - Wrap-up

01:11:42|The gang explores the tale of FreddyLA7, the social media handle of a German World Cup tourist who, following viral attention, has received negative attention following old tweets, private plane offers, and other various paid experience at absolutely no expense. Is this a simple story of jealousy, or is there a deeper lesson to be learned here? They also dive into the resignation of Keir Starmer, the UK's 7th Prime Minister in a decade. What exactly is Britain looking for in a leader, and will it ever find it?Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:12:19 - FreddyLA700:40:26 - Keir Starmer00:56:45 - Emails01:09:07 - Wrap-up
