Summary
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.
