Listen "The East Wing"
Episode Synopsis
By now, you've seen the images or read the news clips: the White House's East Wing is being (at least partially) demolished. Why is Donald Trump building a $300 million ballroom? Who will pay for it? Is this level of White House renovation unprecedented or expected? In this episode, Phoenix Ricks discusses the history of White House reconstructions and the efforts to preserve the current design of the White House. Plus: No Kings protests swept the nation last week, and if the U.S. bailout is any indication, the "A" in MAGA stands for Argentina.
