Politics War Room with James Carville & Al Hunt 324: Defeating Putin & Winning At Home
Aug 21, 2025
01:24:31
James and Al sound the alarm over the damage MAGA is causing to the economy and lay out how Trump’s tax policies will hurt the working class. Then, they welcome the NYT’s David Sanger to discuss the rapidly shifting situation in Ukraine in the aftermath of Trump’s meeting with Putin and look at the long-ranging implications the resolution of the war has on international security and our European allies. They also speak with IA Rep. Josh Turek about the issues and tactics that can win in his state and beyond, focusing on common-sense solutions to the problems facing our healthcare system and how to step up and support rural communities.
