53:55Now PlayingA $14.5 million paint job at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool turned the water vomit-green with peeling chunks of flag-blue paint, and it may be the clearest picture yet of how this administration governs. We trace that same instinct across the ocean, where Keir Starmer just became the seventh British prime minister in ten years, and then sit with a harder question: how much should a leader's personal faith shape the office they hold?
Topics discussed:
• The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation and "government by optionality"
• Keir Starmer's resignation, Brexit's 10th anniversary, and the limits of center-left governance
• Faith and politics: the Tulsi Gabbard investigation, JD Vance's conversion memoir, and Democrats reclaiming Christianity
• Outside of Politics: Pantsuit Politics featured in the Washington Post's "The New Kings of the News Business Are In Your Inbox"
