Description
Monks and Merrill Hour 1 (04/02) - In this episode of the Monks and Merrill Show, we dive into a striking contradiction shaping California politics: voters say democracy is under threat—yet head to the polls focused on affordability and everyday survival. We unpack new tensions revealed in statewide polling, the legal battle over sealed records in Riverside County’s sheriff election probe, and the clash between Sheriff Bianco and Attorney General Bonta over Prop 50 ballots. Plus, a look at financial and campaign struggles hitting key Democratic figures like Eric Swalwell and Matt Mahan.
