Summary

Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial

James and Al encourage everyone to read the 14th Amendment and give their takes on the RFK Jr. confirmation hearings, debate which Trump provocations are worth responding to, and lay out the damage he’s already done to our economy and democratic norms.  Then, they welcome investigative journalist Katherine Stewart to discuss the role the Religious Right has played in MAGA’s anti-democratic governance, the true aims of their underlying movement, what their values are, and when they felt that the West was truly great (hint: it’s the 17th century).

Email your questions to James and Al at [email protected] or tweet them to @politicon.  Make sure to include your city– we love to hear where you’re from!
