About this episode
P.M. Edition for June 4. During the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, cities across the U.S. removed monuments honoring Confederate generals, Founding Fathers and Christopher Columbus. Now, some people are fighting to restore them. Journal national affairs reporter Cameron McWhirter discusses why the statue wars have returned–and what’s different this time. Plus, some Russian elites are turning against the war with Ukraine. WSJ chief foreign affairs correspondent Yaroslav Trofimov discusses what this means for Vladimir Putin. And many investors in Blackstone’s premier private-credit fund want their money out. Danny Lewis hosts.
