Episode Description

Senator Lindsey Graham's sudden passing at age 71 has sent shockwaves through Washington. Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz reflect on Graham's legacy, his decades of public service, his influence on U.S. foreign policy, and the political battle now brewing over his South Carolina Senate seat.

The conversation then shifts to Ro Khanna, his controversial trip to the West Bank, accusations surrounding his political motivations, media coverage from The New York Times, and the growing debate over Israel, activism, and the 2028 Democratic presidential field.

Finally, they examine a new report criticizing the Smithsonian Institution, discussing claims of ideological bias, the portrayal of America's founding, the omission of key historical figures, and the broader fight over how American history should be taught and remembered.
