The Iran War might be ended with a Post-it, Marco Rubio's rap-obsessed DJ persona bleeds into his secretary of state work, and Trump's White House ballroom could cost taxpayers $1 billion while toxic East Wing debris could leave nearby golfers with a lung. Also, Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta gauge the creep level of GOP Congressman Chuck Edwards, who harassed staff with unwelcome advances and Adam Sandler puzzles. The U.S. is marking its semiquincentennial with America's Time Capsule, to be sealed for 250 years. Troy Iwata asks patriots what should go inside, and whether America will still exist. Marla Mindelle of "Titan que" tells Desi Lydic how a drunken LA idea became a Broadway hit with four Tony noms, fueled by improv and topical jokes, and how she slips into Celine Dion nightly.
