    PART 1 - 8 political sex scandals…w/ Washington Post's Roxanne Roberts
    Jan 15 2026
    Recently, the Washington Post ran a story headlined "8 political sex scandals that threw the nation into a frenzy." Longtime Post reporter Roxanne Roberts wrote that story. Here's one politician who made Roxanne Roberts' list: "We're all going to have to seriously question the system for selecting our national leaders that reduces the press of this nation to hunters and presidential candidates to being hunted, that has reporters in bushes, false and inaccurate stories printed, photographers peeking in our windows, swarms of helicopters hovering over our roof and my very strong wife close to tears because she can't even get in her own house at night without being harassed. And then, after all that, ponderous pundits wonder in mock seriousness why some of the best people in this country choose not to run for high office." Who was that and how did he get on the list of 8? Who are the other seven? What's the history behind each of the frenzies? And what do they all have in common? In the latest episode of C-SPAN's podcast "Extreme Mortman" – find out. Our very special guest -- Roxanne Roberts herself – she goes through each of the political sex scandals which made her Washington Post list. And we hear clips about the scandals from most of the politicians and those individuals they were involved with. It's a special two-parter of "Extreme Mortman."

How technology is going to advance people with disabilities, people who are aging, it is going to improve our travel, our home, even our cooking, there are washing machines that will just about do everything for you except put away the laundry and so it is really tremendous." That was Senator Rosen speaking at a January 22nd, 2020, Senate Commerce hearing on 5G Technology. Which other members of Congress have said they attended the show? What else from the Consumer Electronics Show has inspired them? And what do members of Congress and Senators say about the show being held in Las Vegas? Learn more about your ad choices.

C-SPAN's podcast "Extreme Mortman" asked Cate Martel for her favorite C-SPAN moments in 2025. Here’s one which made her list: "Look, now there is no guarantee that the show is always good or that it’ll go off without a hitch or it doesn’t have its, uh, hecklers. Yeah. But the show must go on. And, if you’re with your people, and you won’t have to do it alone. Because life is not a solo act. No, it’s not. It’s a big, messy, delightful ensemble piece, especially when you’re with your people." That was Kermit the Frog giving the 2025 commencement address at the University of Maryland. Which other moments made Cate Martel's best-of 2025-on-C-SPAN list? Who wore hard hats and other protective gear on C-SPAN in 2025 – much to Cate Martel's considerable amusement?
