    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. They also examine if Trump’s foreign policy reflects our national priorities and explain the impact of his changes on the future of international relations.

    308: Time For A Democratic Schism with Rep. Ro Khanna
    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. They also emphasize the danger of trusting Republicans on the economy over the Democrats, and explain why our policies consistently outperform theirs.

    James and Al welcome Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear to discuss the impact of Trump’s tariffs on his state, whether there are any merits to his policies in light of their chaotic implementation, and the scope of the threat bad budgeting poses for people who rely on Medicaid. They also break down Kentucky’s ongoing success at growing their economy and creating jobs, and how democrats can win in red states while still staying true to their principles.

    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?
