Rep. Eric Swalwell recently wrote an interesting article called "My Opponents Smear Me on Fox News, Then Want to Grab Dinner." He was inspired to write it after a colleague on the other side of the aisle invited him for a meal. Before they went out, Swalwell glanced at his opponent's Twitter feed - and noted that they had sent five tweets slamming him.

Is it all just "for the fans?"

In this episode we speak with Swalwell about the phony "bro" culture in Congress, an unexpected run-in with Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), and what he sees as the best way to break through ideological silos and communicate with fair-minded opponents.
