Don’t Mess with California! + A Conversation with Rep. Eric Swalwell
About this episode
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.
