Do you feel swampy? Well, do ya punk? We hope you do, because none other than the kingpin of news himself is here to malodorously pontificate on the fusty, fetid sewer that is the 2026 midterms. There ain’t no ninja turtles in these tunnels. Chris Stirewalt joins Jonah Goldberg to hold forth on the Maine primaries, the Los Angeles mayoral race, election fraud claims, Donald Trump at the New York Knicks game, America 250, Todd Blanche, the decline of moral political norms, Scott Pelley, 60 Minutes, and our changing news landscape.
