    James and Al castigate our corporate masters and the oligarchs in control of Fox before welcoming historian Joseph Ellis to celebrate the founding and tell some of its finest stories. They discuss the legacy of our earliest politicians, explain why July 2nd is a better date for a national holiday, and whether our democracy will continue to survive over the course of future generations. Then they welcome award-winning filmmaker Eva Orner to continue to expose the SA scandal at Ohio State, and examine how we treat university students and men in sports when they need us most.

    VOTE FOR THE WORST OF THE TRUMP ADMIN


    James and Al welcome Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy to lay out the implications of our attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, explore the risk of blowback in the face of regime change, and investigate the role of Israel and our domestic MIC in our foreign policy. They also examine the threats Trump’s budget bill poses to the country, particularly those who rely on social programs. Then, our hosts discuss Mamdani’s win in the NYC Mayoral primary, and what his triumph over former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo means for the future of the party and who its voters will ultimately support.

    314: Middle East Redux with Professor Vali Nasr

    Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial

    James and Al castigate Trump’s narcissistic military parade and contrast his authoritarian impulses with the protestors standing up for democracy. Then, they welcome Iran expert, Professor Vali Nasr, to discuss Iranian-US relations, Israel’s attacks, and the staying power of the Ayatollah’s regime. In their conversation, they explore the potential responses we might see following attacks on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, how things got to this point, and if there is any potential for a deal under Trump. They also look at the consequences of a drawn-out war with a large, militarized country, and what it would take to finally have normalized relations.
