Episode Description from the Publisher

Pags reacts to another speech from Senate Majority Leader John Thune, explaining why he believes Republican leadership isn't delivering when it matters most. Pags asks whether it's finally time for a new Senate leader, breaks down what's standing in the way of Todd Blanche's confirmation, and examines why Sen. John Cornyn has become a central figure in the controversy as President Trump weighs whether to delay the nomination to win over GOP holdouts. Along the way, Pags shares one of his funniest memories with his mother before turning to one of the biggest legal stories in Washington. Will Chamberlain of the Article III Project joins the program to break down what really happened during Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate testimony, why invoking the Fifth Amendment may not end the story, how senators could still pursue contempt proceedings, whether Biden's blanket pardons have legal limits, if states could bring their own cases against Fauci, and what it will take to get Todd Blanche confirmed.
