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

James and Al debate President Biden’s pardon of Hunter, analyze his legacy, and tear apart Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel. Then, they welcome democracy scholar and Harvard Professor Steven Levitsky to expose Trump’s threat to the rule of law, lament the decline of civics, examine the basis for the global anti-incumbency wave, and blast our judiciary for failing to defend the system from rising right-wing authoritarianism. They also look at the potential for social media to serve as a safety valve for dissent and explore recent developments in Colombia.
