This podcast features an interview with James Carville, where they discuss his prediction of a Trump political collapse, the current economic downturn, and the potential responses of the Democratic party. The conversation then shifts to the ongoing war in Ukraine, focusing on the potential consequences of a reduced US commitment and the implications for European involvement. Carville suggests a "tactical pause" for Democrats, while the second guest, Michael Weiss, analyzes the geopolitical implications of Trump's actions and the potential for a weakened Western alliance. A specific example discussed is the negative reaction to Elon Musk's Cybertrucks at a Mardi Gras parade, illustrating the current unpopularity of Musk and potentially Trump.
