Politics War Room with James Carville & Al Hunt

James and Al report on this week’s elections, breaking down Trump’s continued dominance in the Republican party, Democrats' ability to win over party switchers, and an energized Black electorate.  Then, they call out the miscalculations Trump made in the Iran war and expose the effect of media ownership on the political landscape before welcoming government accountability advocate Fred Wertheimer.  They discuss Trump’s settlement with the IRS, the ways he’s enriched himself and his supporters, the difference between the Trump and Biden DOJ, and the dangers of corruption.

Remembering Barney Frank
James and Al are joined by Chairman of the Financial Services Committee, congressman Barney Frank, for an in depth look at the current budget negotiations and the thinking motivating its key players.  Then, they examine the power of a competent and active government to make our lives better in the fight against COVID and beyond, with an update on the 2021 baseball season.

James and Al game out the gerrymandering war, call out the SCOTUS for its voting rights decision, declare inflation’s return as an election issue, and lament Trump’s imprint on the Republican party, with a look at how it all will affect the midterm elections.  Then, they are joined by The New Yorker’s Evan Osnos in Beijing to discuss the Trump-Xi meeting, Taiwan, China’s ongoing rise, its relationship with Iran, and the AI war.  Afterward, they welcome Paul and Stefanie Taylor to reflect on aging and the boomer generation’s legacy in our culture and politics.
