Don't miss
The panel’s breakdown of the rambling local-candidate interview turns repeated “I mean, come on” phrasing into the episode’s sharpest comic set piece.
The brief
Steven Crowder and his panel open with jokes before turning to claims involving Ilhan Omar, immigration fraud, and whether deportation arguments reflect genuine criminal concerns or political persecution.
A rambling local political interview becomes the episode’s comic centerpiece, as the panel dissects repeated “I mean, come on” phrasing and claims about roads, pollution, immigration, and threats.
The conversation shifts to James Talarico’s Texas race, where polling, partisan support, political body language, and Kalshi prediction-market odds become competing ways to read the contest.
The closing culture-war dispute centers on a new Narnia adaptation, with the panel arguing that Aslan’s portrayal and gender politics weaken the Christian framework of C.S. Lewis’s books.
