Topic: Petraeus Scandal

Hillary Clinton appeared on Ellen DeGeneres' show to apologize for her private email server, claiming she made a "mistake." Ellen defended Clinton, arguing that she is held to a different standard because she is a woman. The hosts point out that General David Petraeus faced criminal prosecution for similar actions, suggesting Clinton is actually benefiting from a "soft standard."

The hosts explore a "tinfoil hat" theory that a shadow government or the CIA is using the current wave of scandals to force President Obama out of office. They compare the situation to Watergate, suggesting Nixon was set up to fail. They speculate that the goal might be to install a more "warrior-like" leader, though they conclude that Hillary Clinton is the most likely successor.
