Summary

James and Al welcome Governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, to discuss the biggest issues plaguing our cities, including crime, immigration, and education– specifically looking at how we can make our cities safer, deliver on the country’s promise, and deliver results for future generations. Then, our hosts revisit the most toxic members of the Trump administration, respond to Hunter Biden’s call out of James, and look at the role of media in determining the our shared future. They also demand that the administration deals with the Epstein scanda and give the people the answers about Trump’s past that they deserve!

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!
