Ro Khanna to weigh the pitfalls and potential of Elon’s DOGE, looking at the dangers it poses to social programs and how Democrats can use it as an opportunity to protect essential services while making the government more efficient.  They also call upon the party to take back the mantle of economic populism by championing 70-30 issues like raising the minimum wage, getting money out of politics, and taxing the rich.<br /><br />Email your questions to James and Al at <a href="mailto:POLITICSWARROOM@GMAIL.COM">politicswarroom@gmail.com</a> or tweet them to<a href="http://www.twitter.com/@politicon"> @politicon</a>.  Make sure to include your city– we love to hear where you’re from!<br /><br /><strong>More from James and Al:</strong><br /><br /><strong>Get </strong><a href="https://politicon.attn.tv/p/z6Z/landing-page"><strong>text updates</strong></a><strong> from Politics War Room and Politicon.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Watch Politics War Room &amp; James Carville Explains on </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@PoliticsWarRoomOfficial"><strong>YouTube @PoliticsWarRoomOfficial</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>CARVILLE: WINNING IS EVERYTHING, STUPID</strong> is streaming on Max!  You can also get updates and some great behind-the-scenes content by following James on Twitter <a href="https://x.com/JamesCarville?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">@jamescarville</a> and his new TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@realjamescarville">@realjamescarville</a><br /><br /><strong>James Carville &amp; Al Hunt have launched the </strong><a href="http://www.politicswarroom.com/"><strong>Politics War Room Substack</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>Get More From This Week’s Guest: </strong><br /><br /><strong>Congressman Ro Khanna:</strong><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/RoKhanna?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.rokhanna.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://khanna.house.gov/">House.gov</a><br /><br /><strong>Please Support Our Sponsors:</strong><br /><br /><strong>HelloFresh:</strong><br />Get 10 free meals at <a href="http://hellofresh.com/freewarroom">hellofresh.com/freewarroom</a> applied across 7 boxes– new subscribers only, varied by plan.<br /><br /><strong>Beam:</strong><br />Sleep better with Beam’s best-selling Dream Powder and get up to 40% off for a limited time when you go to <a href="https://shopbeam.com/products/sleep-powder?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=sponsorship&amp;utm_campaign=warroom&amp;variant=39994089898039&amp;selling_plan=787415095">shopbeam.com/warroom</a> and use code: <strong>WARROOM</strong><br /><br /><strong>Miracle Made:</strong><br />For 40% off high-quality self-cooling sheets, plus an extra 20% off with 3 free towels, use promo code <strong>WARROOM</strong> when you go to <a href="https://try.miraclebrand.co/sheets/ksp-v15?utm_source=Podcast_Warroom&amp;utm_medium=Podcasting&amp;utm_campaign=Warroom">TryMiracle.com/warroom</a><br /><br /><br /></div>
