In this episode, Alex starts by expressing his hesitations around George Santos getting expelled from the House of Representatives. Since Santos has not been found guilty of a crime (yet), Alex argues that this could set a bad precedent considering how polarized congress has become. Next, Alex shares his thoughts after watching the entire Red State/Blue State debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis. With Sean Hannity moderating the debate, Alex argues that the debate was less about policy and economics, and more about making California look bad. Finally, it looks like the hostage swap/temporary ceasefire between Hamas and Israel has ended after both sides claim the other violated the agreement. New violence has been reported.
