Morality Police or Masters of Hypocrisy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Hypocrisy runs deep in Washington, and today’s revelations prove that the so-called 'morality police' are themselves knee-deep in scandal. As we dive into the saga of Eric Swalwell—who is alleged to have raped women—it's clear that accountability is conveniently selective among political elites. From gold bars in senators’ jackets to mysteriously revised financial disclosures, the double standards are staggering. While some in the Democratic party rush to oust their own when it's advantageous, others dodge responsibility and deflect blame, leaving voters alike frustrated with the lack of real transparency.

Monday Welcome And Banter
SPEAKER_01Welcome back, Stuart. It's Monday. Welcome back. He goes away. Look at how he's doing his jig on a Monday morning. But you know who's not doing a jig on a Monday morning there, Stuart? Eric Swalwell. I mean, you want to talk about dirty and disgusting, and I'm not here to tell you I'm the morality police. I'm not here to tell you I'm on a higher ground, but I am so sickened by those who tell me how I should act. And then when they are dirty and when they do something as egregious as what Eric Swalwell is accused of doing, uh, all of a sudden, let's we have to figure out who else to blame because we can't take the account, we can't be accountable. And that is that's what's what sickens me today, Stuart, with the Democratic Party. But let me start off with you, bud. What's your thoughts about former candidate for governor of California, Eric Swalwell?
Fang Fang And Intelligence Access
Protection Racket And Party Hypocrisy
SPEAKER_00Well, the Democratic Party has spent 20 years telling you, you know, the truth. They are the party of accountability, the morality police. And the whole time, I mean, the whole time, they've been running a protection racket for their own. Eric Swalwell is exhibit eight today. And we're gonna go through every receipt. Now, let me give you the facts. Just the facts, because the facts are enough to make your head spin. Christine Feng, Chinese national, also known as Fang Feng, according to Axios, December 20th, uh, sorry, December 8th, 2020. She was a suspected uh Chinese intelligence agent, right? You think that would be enough. She had an extensive relationship. The nature, Eric Swalwell never fully explained, with sitting with members of House Intelligence Committees, you know, a man with access with some of the most classified intelligence the government holds. The FBI, you know, in 2015, you know, its operatives, you know, said this guy was dirty, you know. Kevin McCarthy finally pulled off the House Intelligence Committee in 23. Democrats refused to do it. And Swallow's response is brace for it. MSNBC called an attack on democracy. An attack on democracy being removed from a post you never should have held. It's an attack on democracy. But here's what really gets me. Swallow. It's not just a pattern. Bob Menendez, U.S. Senate from Jersey, federal agents found gold bars. You know, this is not new. Democrats to call for his resignation months after the indictment. Somewhat, you know, some waiting until the conviction. The man had gold bars in his fucking jacket. This morning, this very morning, we're looking at Elon Omer's financial disclosures, which somehow are revised from$30 million to under$100 million.
SPEAKER_01$100,000.$100,000.
Why Cable News Stays Silent
SPEAKER_00$100,000. No explanation, no press conference. And the party that lectures Wall Street on financial accountability. Oh, where's Pocahontas? Now, in contrast, Al Franken, Democrat forced Al Franken to resign over photographs in 2017. Within weeks, loudly, publicly, they fell over each other to be the first on the microphone because it was useful for them. Political, political, just political. That is the Democratic Party, actually. Morality standards. It's not a principle, it's a weapon. And they picked it up when it's pointed at the other side. And the second it turns around, they put it down, look in the eye, and say, I don't know anything about it. I never met that person, can't recall. Swalwell, Menendez, Omar, same playbook, same protection, same press corp holding their coats while they walk. Now, Eric Swalwell will be on cable news set this week. He will point at the Republicans. He will use words, accountability, straight face, and not one anchor, not one, will ask him. Congressman, what about Fang Fang? What about all these women? What about the accusations about rape that are in the press? Because asking those questions break the racket. The racket's the whole game. David, I've laid out American side, but I know you've been watching the same dynamics play out in Canada for years. And I think our listeners need to hear your take. Three things I want you to answer. Oh, here we go. Don't let me off the hook. I like catching you off the hook, but I'm not letting you off the hook in this case. I made the case that the Democratic Party doesn't have a morality standard. And I'm going to let you get into further detail about Swalwell and his sexual exploits with uh allegedly uh alcohol, drugs, and rape. However, but a lot of people are pushing back saying every party protects its own. Republicans do it. You said that in the green room. So I want to challenge you directly. Is this actually worse on the Democratic side? And if so, why? Or are we just doing the same thing we accuse them of doing, noticing just the other team? Now, I don't want to leave you just with that question. Let me give you another one. You've watched Justin Trudeau run the same. Wasn't aware playbook in Canada, SNC La Valen, the Winston uh Wilton Rayhood, the resident nation, right? The ethics scandal. From where you sit north of the border, the Canadian president politicians to the same standard.
SPEAKER_01Stuart, your obsession, buddy, with Canada, and it's it's it's uh but hang on.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, here's the big one swalwell, the resignation and the the absolute embarrassment for Nancy Pelosi and the entire Democratic team. How do you explain the alleged multiple rapes? How do you how do you stand for this? How come the Canadian media, American media, haven't put it front now?
Canada’s Trudeau And SNC Lavalin
Both Parties Corrupt Then What
SPEAKER_01You've hit the nail on the head. So, first of all, let me you have an obsession with Canada, and anything you could show that is scandalous in Canada is bigger than the United States, it's the same, it's the same, but what did you just say at the end there? Media, media is at fault for covering up all of these things because if you would think about it, Justin Trudeau, you so you first of all you mispronounced SNC Lavelang, unless NC Laveline, it was a bribery scandal. The media put it on the under the rug. Justin went after one of his own members of parliament in his cabinet to cover up for SNC Lavelang, and she said no, and he basically threatened her. Now, one thing that was interesting is that Justin Trudeau loved to call himself a woman. He's like a woman, he he says, I love women, and Mike, look at my cabinet, look how balanced my cabinet is with men and women. That's how he started. But you know what happened at the end? Women left and grows because Trudeau was not for women, he was all about using women, and that is what people don't want to say. And again, who's covering up the media? Because if when Donald Trump was accused, let's remember, remember, when he was accused back in 2015, 2014 of all these allegations with women in the court of public opinion, he was guilty because the media made him guilty. He was a conservative, therefore, or he was a Republican, therefore he is guilty. No matter what. You're guilty and you have to prove yourself innocent. But in the case of the Democrats, the innocent shall remain innocent. Even when proven guilty, we'll have to figure out a way to keep them innocent because there had to be some kind of thing there. Stuart, in the first 14 weeks of 2026, Eric Swalwell made 50, 50 appearances on MS Now and CNN. Do you think they wanted him to win the gubernatorial race in California? Do you think he's he has been the love child of the media? He's been out there all the time. Great sound bites against Trump, great sound bites against Republicans, great sound bites. And in order to keep Democrats in power in the great state of California, we have to elevate Eric Swalwell. Media prides itself on morality, let alone the Democrats. And the the interesting thing is, Stuart, that it doesn't make a difference to the media as long as that they can get what they want. And what they wanted was democratic governance, democratic power. And they will do anything and everything to make sure that that happens. And so Eric Swalwell was the love child. And not hearing the rumors, and this is the thing you said, and Stuart, the Democrats and the Republicans, they're both corrupt. We're not gonna go, I'm not changing my mind. You could tell me all you want. The Republicans have their skeletons in their closet, the Dems have their scared. But here is the difference. I'm sick and tired of the Democrats telling me how I need to act. That's the difference. You use the term morality police, and that's how the Democrats like to position themselves. They hold the moral high ground on all of these issues, transgender rights, they hold the rights on LGBTQ. In Canada, we now added another bunch of letters into this whole thing, and we it's now a 20,000-letter uh acronym, uh, it's worse than your Wi-Fi password. It just goes on and on and on and on about the morality, and we just keep adding to that morality, and that anybody who's conservative is immoral. But even amongst the moral, you'll find the dirty. And Eric Swellow is the perfect example. And when you read this morning, Stuart, as I did my homework on these liberal-leaning um uh uh uh uh um media houses, well, you know what they do? It's always the yeah, but Eric Swell was dirty, but to hear Democrats now say they heard rumors, Stuart. Yeah, we heard rumors, but you chose to ignore the rumors. Why? You know why? Because you crave power so much that you hope that the story would get buried, and then and again, once again, whenever it comes up to a dirty situation, we saw this in Minnesota with Governor Waltz. We have a dirty scandal. What do we do? We point the finger at ice. We have Elon Omar, you brought her up. She's got a scandal with her financials. She runs to a liberal media and says, No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's an accounting error. For it's not real. Stuart, what's do you know what committee she sits on? The finance committee. And you're telling me that this was an accounting error? Once again, the morality police could go shove it, okay? Because there's no morality here. You're dirty, you're dirty, you're dirty. And for you to tell Americans how they should act, but you are unwilling to clean up your own team that is filled with alleged rapists, anti-Semites, hateful people towards America, and now you're bringing in candidates who are still calling death to America and ruining America. I wonder where did you pick up your morality, Stuart? Where did they pick up their morality?
What Counts As Real News
SPEAKER_00Listen, Eric Swalwell is just another chapter in the Democrats' hypocrisy. Yep. You know, yeah, you know, the the Republicans are quick to uh bury their dead. The Democrats want to turn them into saints, and and this has been going on, and you know what, politics have been running like this for decades, but I think it's more exactly decades. Come on. I I mean, we've only been around for decades, David. So let's talk about what we've lived through because I'd say the history books have been somewhat skewed, and I guess we've seen in the in the news over the recent years, you know, these people sort of defending their own. I get it, they're defending their own. However, however, the word news, what's the definition of news, David?
SPEAKER_01What news should be?
SPEAKER_00What's the definition? I asked you for a little definition. You told me what's the definition? Fact-based information delivered, delivered by a third party. Now that's news. That's news. That's my definition of news. Now, when you turn on the TV and they call it news, they really need to replace that with drama editorial and opinion. And what?
SPEAKER_01Opinion. It's opinion.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. It's drama for TV. It's it's law and order, made up episodes, uh, with with with with conclusions that are predetermined before they even start their broadcast. You know, I am so tired of turning on the news, whether it's Fox News, whether it's CNN, whether it's Bloomberg on behind me as you see it over my shoulder. You know, when these people who claim to be reporters for the news are just editorialist drama fiction writers, they they want to give you a story and they don't want to give you the facts. And you know, news died. Oh, it had to have been probably somewhere in the 60s.
SPEAKER_01Many times. We've said it many times.
Bad News Sells And Power Games
SPEAKER_00You know, 40 years ago to 60 years ago, news died. There were a few legacy reporters that were grit, that were wartime reporters that went with film and camera, and they came back with what they were able to show the world. Was that edited? Yes. But was it news? Yes. Did you see what happened? Yes. Today they manufacture, they deny, they change. It is so disgusting. It's at the point where, yes, Elon Omer took 30 million to 100,000. I mean, is it not? It's not about Eric Swalwell, it's about the whole system is broken. And I just don't know where this actually comes to a conclusion. Because if we continue on this path, there's no point to turn on the TV.
SPEAKER_01Well, there's a reason, there's a reason, Stuart, because bad news sells. And if you're talking to the media houses today, and why aren't they going after the Democratic Party, the liberal media, is because that will really ruin what they're trying to get across. And what they're trying to get across is vote out Trump, vote in their Democrats, take him out one piece at a time. You see, with the war in Iran, what's happening, there isn't this how many real media houses are really chasing the Democrats and going, you're you're you're you're ruining the country. You know, when you see the candidates that the Democrats have been rolling out lately, Stuart, the ones in Michigan, the ones in Maine, the ones in other places.
SPEAKER_00What about California? Two billion dollars in California. Oops, I don't know where the money went.
SPEAKER_01Zoran Mondani is just one example. This is what the Democrats. So something that the Dems, the Dems, the Dems are pushing so hard that their morality, Stuart, hold on. It's not morality, it's not a good idea. No, no. When you're it's a rule, it's their value, their their so-called value system that they're now upholding is anti as anti-american as it gets, and it's okay. So if we if we if we have a rapist in our party, that's okay. That's okay.
Government Growth And Socialism Fears
SPEAKER_00It's more than that. It's more than that, David. It's more than that. Um communism is defined by uh scholastically, right? Where 70 percent of the GDP is supported by the government. Canada is currently running at 66, 64 percent.
SPEAKER_01Oh, your obsession here is unbelievable.
SPEAKER_00One second. United States is running in in the 30s, the 40 percent now. And in and and the definition of communism and capitalism is the amount of GDP sponsored by a government. Now, Canada is almost at the tipping point. These Democrats want to get the United States over the tipping point. Well, absolutely. 100% and so you know the the Bernie Sanders, now you got Mondani and Obama stinging the wheels on the bus go round and round. No, the wheels on the bus fall off because there's no more fucking bus. And the buses are only for those that follow along and not those that dissent against their opinion. So again, David, here I stand. Uh, you know, Swalwell, disgraced. If there's any truth to any of this, yeah, yes, the man deserves what he has coming to him with the judicial system. Unfortunately, he's likely going to get some lenient Democrat who's gonna let him off the hook. But, you know, it's a problem in politics globally. Look, and it starts with news.
Culture Wars Israel And Candidates
SPEAKER_01Look, it the news is the media houses are supporting this, okay? And as I and you missed my rant on Friday where here in Canada, you know, we have the CBC, which I called state-sponsored media. It is, you know, yes, technically it's it's on its own in in some ways, but the reality is when the government continues to fund it at a billion dollars plus a year, it's state-sponsored media, and it's gonna support the the party in power, which in this case the you know, it's always the liberals. They don't want conservatives in power. It's the same thing with MS Now, it's the same thing with CNN, it's the same thing with all these other media houses. They don't want balance, they want what they want, and what they want is this left-leaning liberal, progressive, call it whatever you want. What's interesting, Stuart, is that even from within the party, you have people like John Fetterman who's standing there and going, you know, guys, you're you're going off the rails here. You're going off the rails with Israel, you're going off the rails with culture wars, you're going off the rails with all these things. What's interesting to note, Stuart, is that maybe that people aren't loving and supporting Israel as much because they don't want the wars and they get it. But the interesting thing is to see who you're bringing on. You're not bringing people who oppose Israel, you're bringing people who hate Israel. And your ally who supported you, who's brought you technology, who's supported you in the Middle East, who shared information that was huge threats to the United States, the country that has your been your beacon in the Middle East for decades. You've now turned your back on them by bringing on racist-driven candidates. And you could see that in Michigan, and you could see that in Maine, and you could see that where they're in. And Bernie Sanders, the Jew hater himself, loves these candidates because they are going to destroy Israel and America at the same time. The United States was not founded on socialism. The United States was not founded. There's the word freedom in your constitution, and the Democrats are taking it away from you. These left further radicals, the radicals in your party, the ones that want to excuse themselves from any morality, are taking away your freedoms bit by bit. Not every Democrat, not every single liberal, I will give you that. But look what's going on. Enough is enough. And you know what? When you're sitting here already, and I'm we said this in the previous rant, the Democrats are taking a victory lap already. They believe they will take over the House and Senate in November. But you know what? I don't think so. I think that right now people are so pissed off at the Democrats because it's not about helping them put food on the table. It's not about helping them. Because if you look, look at the blue states, Stuart. What support are blue states giving to people in this tough time? Again, you missed my rant on Friday. Mark Carney is pretending to save money for Canadians on gas. And he said, we're going to eliminate a 10 cent gas so that you guys will have cheaper at the pump. But when you convert from winter to summer gas, there's a 10 cents per liter increase here because of the quote of the of the nature of the gas. That's at the oil companies. So what are Canadians saving? Zero. And it's exactly the shell game that your Democrats are playing in the United States. You're playing a shell game, and Elon Omar played a shell game. Oh, I'm not worth 30 million. I'm only worth 100,000. It's just a shell game. Let's move the shells around and you'll see it's only 100,000. But I'm not on, I'm not going to show you the other 29.9 million that's really selling in my bank account. The morality police needs to get fired, Stuart. We got to get Rid of them all because I'm sick and tired of them.
SPEAKER_00You know what, David? Let's wrap it up, bud.
SPEAKER_01Come on.
SPEAKER_00You know, let's wrap it up.
SPEAKER_01All right, folks. Let's see Wednesday. Because I'm sure the comments are going to come through about oh, but what about Trump? And what about Epstein?
