<div>James and Al pay tribute to legendary journalist Dan Balz, examine the state of the country, analyze Trump’s performance so far, and announce the top vote-getter for the title of the most dangerous member of the administration.  Do you think you know who it is?  Then, they welcome Shane Harris of The Atlantic to discuss the battle between Trump and the intelligence community.  They look at the validity of the Steele Dossier, his multiple impeachments, and game out what comes next.  They also review the political impact of 47’s failure to release the Epstein files, and break down the effects that it has on the MAGA base.<br /><br /><strong>The ‘Most Dangerous In The Trump Administration’ Survey Results </strong><br /><a href="https://www.politicon.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/pwr-survey-bar-chart-v-2.png"><strong>GRAPH 1</strong></a><br /><a href="https://www.politicon.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/image.png"><strong>GRAPH 2</strong></a><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>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>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>James Carville &amp; Al Hunt have launched the </strong><a href="http://www.politicswarroom.com/"><strong>Politics War Room Substack</strong></a><br /><br />Get updates and some great behind-the-scenes content from the documentary <strong>CARVILLE: WINNING IS EVERYTHING, STUPID</strong> by following James on X <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>Check Out Andrew Zucker’s New Politicon Podcast: </strong><a href="https://www.politicon.com/podcast-title/the-golden-age/"><strong>The Golden Age</strong></a><br /><strong>Check Out Kimberly Atkins Stohr’s New Politicon Podcast: </strong><a href="https://www.politicon.com/podcast-title/justice-by-design/"><strong>Justice By Design</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>Get More From This Week’s Guest: </strong><br /><br /><strong>Shane Harris: </strong><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/author/shane-harris/">The Atlantic</a> | <a href="http://shaneharris.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/shaneharris">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatter/id1593674288">Chatter Podcast</a> | <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/shaneharris.bsky.social">BlueSky</a> | <a href="https://t.co/MzUhRIy2uw">LinkTree</a> | <a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Shane-Harris/author/B002R0IZXA?ref=ap_rdr&amp;store_ref=ap_rdr&amp;isDramIntegrated=true&amp;shoppingPortalEnabled=true">Author</a><br /><br /><strong>Please Support Our Sponsors:</strong><br /><br /><strong>Miracle Made:</strong><br />Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!
