298: A (Worse) New World Order With Ed Luce
Politics War Room with James Carville & Al HuntAbout this episode
Watch Politics War Room & James Carville Explains on YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial 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.
