James and Al discuss Matt Gaetz's replacement with election denier Pam Bondi, lay out the dangers that tariffs and deportations pose for our economy, and expose the corruption central to Trump’s plans for the presidency. Then, they call for transparency from Kamala’s campaign, explain why they should be audited by the party, and debate the effect of identity politics and Dobbs on the election outcome. More importantly, they begin laying the groundwork to resist Trump and outline potential ways to re-energize the party, fix its messaging, and set the Democrats up for a win in 2026.
