Lovett or Leave It returns to the beautiful Lincoln Theatre for a perfect night in our nation’s perfect capital. Pete Hegseth is in the barrel, Trump’s poll numbers are in the tubes, and JD Vance kills the pope — (cough) I’m sorry — kills the pope’s vibe. Congressman Ro Khanna joins to talk about defending democracy and finding courage. Jen Psaki and Eugene Daniels talk softballs and hard truths. Federal workers are off the leash and biting back at DOGE, and Lovett and his guests offer their thoughts and prayers to phrases that are no longer serving us.
