Speaker of the House Mike Johnson addressed the freeze on Congressional salaries since 2009, noting a 31% decrease in inflation-adjusted pay.

Molly Hemingway criticizes the White House press corps for ignoring President Biden's cognitive decline for years while previously pursuing conspiracy theories against Donald Trump.

Democratic Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence of Michigan expressed a preference for censuring President Trump rather than removing him from office, citing the proximity of the 2020 election. Lawrence argues that while his behavior is unacceptable, the Senate is unlikely to convict, making a formal "marker" of disapproval more practical. The hosts interpret this as a sign that the impeachment narrative is losing momentum within the Democratic caucus.
