Politics War Room with James Carville & Al Hunt

323: War & Crime with Craig Symonds


Listen Later

James and Al castigate Trump for his attempt to militarize the Capitol, and call out his false claims about crime, and discuss how Democrats can make it a winning issue when the numbers are in their favor.  Then, they look ahead to upcoming elections before welcoming military historian Craig Symonds.  In the wake of Al’s trip to Normandy, Craig and Al celebrate V-J Day, review the strategy that won the war, weigh the pros and cons of using the atomic bomb, explaining the difference between conventional and nuclear conflict, and call out the danger Trump poses to military education.
