234: From The Civil War To The Middle East w/ Professor Sean Wilentz and Indira Lakshmanan

James and Al break down the border battle and skewer Republican attacks on Taylor Swift, before welcoming historian Sean Wilentz.  They discuss the best media practices for covering Trump, recent parallels to the Civil War, the role the SCOTUS plays in maintaining our democracy, and how to put an end to Trump’s rolling coup.  Then, James and Al are joined by AP’s Global Enterprise Editor Indira Lakshmanan to lay out the Iranian threat, and explore how the Middle Eastern nations relate to one another, Israel’s internal politics, and the next phase of the Israel-Hamas war.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!Recommended In The Show:The Bill Bradley Documentary Rolling AlongJames Longstreet’s MemoirsCheck James Carville's new videos:James Carville Asks… Does Trump Have Syphilis?James Carville Explains… Moms For Liberty#TrumpStinksJames Carville Explains… Why Mike Johnson is a P.O.S.James Carville Explains… everything about Mike JohnsonJames Carville on the trail of Lauren BoebertOption: Watch James Carville Explains on YouTube - PlaylistGet More From This Week’s Guests:Indira Lakshmanan:Twitter | AP | Pulitzer Center | BloombergProfessor Sean WilentzTwitter | Princeton History Department | Author of “No Property In Man” & Many Other BooksPlease Support Our Sponsors:Songfinch:Add Spotify Streaming for your customized original song for FREE when you go to songfinch.com/warroom!
