Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh

YERRR – this one’s a political rollercoaster with Ezra Klein in the building, and nothing’s off limits. From Mike Johnson shutting down the Epstein vote to Trump’s sketchy second‑term plans, Ezra helps the boys connect the dots on conspiracies, power grabs, and why reform feels impossible. They get deep into Project 2025, the rising cost of education, polarization, and why the Democratic Party might need a full rebuild. Plus: social mobility, Mamdani’s policies, and why forming real coalitions is harder than anyone admits. And of course—Colbert getting axed, CBS’s mess, and keeping the pressure on those Epstein files. All that and more on this week’s episode of FLAGRANT.
