  • 312: The Haves & The Have-Yachts with Evan Osnos
    Jun 5 2025
    Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial

    James and Al celebrate the daring attack by Ukrainian forces against the Russian Air Force and put Trump through the wringer for his treatment of vets and the military while neglecting our allies. From there, they look at how Democrats can take advantage and welcome journalist Evan Osnos. Together, they expose the perils of wealth inequality in our new Gilded Age, explore what the policies addressing current class imbalance would look like, and discuss how to take power back from the oligarchy when people like Elon are seemingly being given the keys to the castle (or at least the White House).

  • 311: Deadly, Dangerous, Decline with Larry Summers
    May 29 2025
    Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial

    James and Al welcome former Harvard University President and U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers to defend the university system against Trump and his attacks on science, offer the system some tough love by laying out the policies that have lowered their public perception, and explain why their actions contribute to the extreme reputation of Democrats. They also highlight how the economy has historically performed far better under liberal administrations and the ways Trump’s corruption undermines his political legitimacy. Then, James and Al discuss optimizing messaging for 2026 and why the media should investigate Trump’s apparent cognitive decline.

    May 15 2025
    Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial

    James and Al call out how Trump continues catering to authoritarians around the world and stand up for diversity-focused policies in the military and civil service before welcoming Independent Senator from Maine, Angus King. They discuss the dangers of Trump’s guardrail-free presidency, looking at whether the administration will protect Medicaid for the millions of Americans who rely on it, the effect of DOGE on government spending, and how the new administration’s priorities affect the coming budget battle.

    May 8 2025
    Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial

    James and Al rip the Trump family’s use of crypto for personal enrichment, chastise the Democrat elites, and call for bottom-up activism to help the party build an enduring majority before welcoming Silicon Valley Rep. Ro Khanna. They discuss the need for unified messaging when there is a risk of intra-party strife after the election loss, the importance of party discipline, and how to address immigration and the economy going forward.
