James and Al unload on the Trump administration’s discriminatory practices and its war on education before welcoming the founder of the global investment bank Evercore, Roger Altman.  They discuss the intricacies of our relationship with China and the E.U., how tariffs and trade wars can upset the international order, and the effects that the friction they create will have on our economy.  During their analysis, they look at the future of consumer sentiment, the long-term stability of our position as the leader of the global economy, and the risk of declining growth.

James and Al attack the cruelty of Trump’s immigration policy and his administration’s growing authoritarianism before welcoming Admiral James Stavridis.  They discuss the foreign policy challenge posed by China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the future of warfare as we move away from human armies toward robots and drones, and why aircraft carriers are essential and timeless in a world with threats in multiple theaters of action.  Then, they explore leadership lessons from history and culture, spanning Mario Puzo’s The Godfather to direct written experiences from soldiers in the Civil War.

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 call out Trump’s attempt to throw Ukraine under the bus and review the funding bill before welcoming Elisabeth Bumiller of the NYT.  They discuss the chilling effect of Trump’s call for political retribution, how he and Elon are conspiring to undermine good governance by taking on USAID and the Department of Education, and what to focus on when covering the administration.  They emphasize the need to balance keeping up with his latest outrages with exposing how his administration is failing to live up to its promises relating to the economy, ending wars, and delivering for his voters.

James and Al emphasize the value of playing possum while MAGA destroys itself by noting how their mishandling of the economy undermines Trump’s promises, explaining how they equate to a war on the poor and fighting back against his demolition of democracy. Then, they welcome Ed Luce of the Financial Times to discuss U.S.-British relations, review Keir Starmer’s attempt to preserve our alliance and investigate whether Europe can protect Ukraine’s democracy on its own.  They also dive into China’s push for Taiwan, exploring what happens when democracies falter and if journalism is up to the challenge of the times.

Raja Krisnamoorthi to discuss the foreign policy axis of Chinese and Indian relations, Trump’s inability to address ongoing consumer price increases, and his departure from established democratic norms.  They also examine Elon’s role in government, the dangers of DOGE, and the growing threat to Social Security and Medicaid.
