250 Year Competition: Vote for which of Trump’s insiders you think the Founding Fathers would send back to England https://forms.gle/XFwsfqkec7UEsKxbA James and Al review the political landscape, the changes in the electorate, and the candidates after getting a lay of the land during the primary season. Then, they welcome the NYT’s David Sanger to discuss the end of the Iran war and its consequences, the seemingly endless war in Ukraine, Trump’s foreign policy, and its effects on the future of our country. They are also joined by the author of ‘The Department of Revenge’, the NYT’s Devlin Barrett, to expose Trump’s weaponization of the DOJ under Todd Blanche, the erosion of trust in our leaders, and how it weakens our institutions.
