On Tuesday night, This Is America host Rich Valdés tears into a massive line-up of political scandals and global chaos. Rich breaks down the total collapse of Maine's Democratic Senate nominee as calls mount for Graham Platner to end his campaign. Following bombshell rape allegations from former girlfriend Jenny Racicot, a second ex-girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, has gone on camera with CNN to detail horrific accounts of physical violence and non-consensual behavior. Rich exposes the blatant hypocrisy of top progressive lawmakers who spent years ignoring Platner’s Nazi-linked tattoos and explicit texts, only to pull their endorsements at the absolute eleventh hour.

Then, we shift our focus to the global stage and start "talking turkey" about the growing geopolitical chess match in the Middle East. Rich analyzes how Donald Trump is gaining massive strategic leverage over rogue regimes, forcing regional actors to rethink their alliances as the map redraws itself completely.

Later, we take you directly inside the hostile streets of Iran, where millions of mourners poured into Tehran for a massive, highly choreographed state funeral procession for the assassinated former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As crowds launch symbolic "stoning the devil" ceremonies targeting Trump and chanting "Death to America," Rich unpacks what the eerie public absence of new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei really means for the ongoing war.
