The Political Junkie is turning his analytical gaze west. Ken Rudin, known to NPR listeners from his many years talking all things politics with Neal Conan on "Talk of the Nation," joins Insight host Beth Ruyak for our signature segment that puts California politics in the context of the national scene. Rudin joins us from Washington D.C. in an effort to put it all in perspective.

This week, Rudin joins Insight to talk about Jared Kushner testifying before Congress; John McCain's brain tumor and how it impacts the GOP agenda; and Anthony Scaramucci taking over as White House Communications Director.
