Pags starts with the latest fight over the Kennedy Center after a federal judge again blocked President Trump's name from being added to the building, and Pags asks why this has become such a major argument in the first place. Then Thomas Massie's effort to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth gets pushed until after the midterms as the House leaves Washington early—and Pags wonders whether the whole thing has become more about publicity than actually removing Hegseth. Pags has also been asking where all the Republican midterm advertising is. Now there's an answer: Trump-aligned groups are preparing to pour more than $130 million into House and Senate races across the country. Then former Democratic fundraiser Lindy Li joins Pags for Part 1 of a revealing conversation about the Biden White House. Li gives her account of who she believes was really wielding influence inside the administration—and why she says it wasn't simply Joe Biden calling the shots.Learn more about your ad choices.
