Episode 55 explores newly surfaced mortgage fraud allegations against Senator Adam Schiff, stemming from a criminal referral initiated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and amplified by the Trump administration. The hosts trace Schiff’s long-standing antagonism toward Trump—from the Russia investigations to impeachment trials—arguing that the very system Schiff once wielded against his rival may now be turned against him. The hour concludes with an interview featuring Chief Medaria “Rondo” Arradondo, the first Black police chief of Minneapolis, recognized for his leadership during the George Floyd crisis and his push for policing reform. His new book, Chief Rondo: Securing Justice for the Murder of George Floyd, is a compelling memoir of leadership, accountability, and systemic change.
