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 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.
