1:19:19Now PlayingJames and Al break down the imminent elections in NJ, VA, the state Supreme Courts, and on Prop 50 in CA, with a deep dive into the effects of gerrymandering and what it means for the parties. Then, they welcome economics wizard Yves Instel to discuss the theft from the Louvre, hear the story of his flight from Paris to the USA during WW2, and reflect on art and culture. They are also joined by WaPo’s Max Boot to understand the Trump administration’s warmongering with Venezuela, the evolution of the drug war, whether Maduro is genuinely a threat to our country, and conservatism’s evolution.
