Episode 70 opens with a look at John Bolton’s decades-long career as a hawkish national security figure and the dramatic turn it has taken, as he now faces 18 federal charges for allegedly mishandling classified information. His indictment represents a stunning fall from grace and highlights the escalating cycle of political retaliation and personal vendettas that have come to characterize the post-Trump era. The hour ends with an interview featuring Chief Medaria “Rondo” Arradondo, whose new memoir Securing Justice for the Murder of George Floyd offers a gripping inside look at leadership, accountability, and reform in the wake of tragedy.
