327: The World’s Worst Bet with David J. Lynch

<div>James and Al dissect the potential of a government shutdown, weigh its political effects on our economy and politics, and call out the partisanship of the SCOTUS in the wake of Trump’s multiple appointees.  Then, they welcome WaPo’s David Lynch to break down the pernicious effects of globalization, why it was a good idea, and why it is currently failing our people.  They also explore possible solutions to the decline of manufacturing, emphasize the importance of job training, and look at the role that a new government led by the Democratic Party could pursue to restore hope and jobs while strengthening our international relationships.<br /><br />This episode was recorded before the events at Utah Valley University.</div><br /><div>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 /><br /><strong>Get More From This Week’s Guest: </strong><br /><br /><strong>David J.
