    James and Al celebrate Susan Crawford’s election to the WI Supreme Court, expose Trump’s declining electoral prospects, and declare the start of a Democrat comeback.

    James and Al lay waste to Trump’s inept national security team in the wake of their accidental leak of war plans for Yemen and call out the billionaires undermining the 4th Estate before welcoming Congressman Ritchie Torres. They discuss putting pragmatism back into politics, avoiding the trap of emphasizing the policies of the far left, and crafting a winning message that speaks to working people. Ultimately, did focusing on faculty lounge priorities distract from addressing immigration and inflation and cost Kamala the 2024 election?

    James and Al celebrate the late John Feinstein and discuss the dangers of isolationism, the future of NATO, and our nation’s budding constitutional crisis stemming from the war being waged by Trump and DOGE on our most sacred governmental institutions. Then, they welcome USC professor Geoffrey Cowan to explain the important role American media plays in building a just and stable world, the potential and pitfalls of soft power, and why outreach is critical to further the cause of global democracy. As the United States becomes more myopic, will authoritarian regimes around the world be stepping in to fill the leadership void?
