    Let’s get real here, and truthful.
    We all know the sorry ——that Trump is, a rapist, a life long criminal that our justice system has never held accountable because of his wealth. He should never be president again. Biden has become a horrible war criminal, having cast his lot with Netanyahu and all manor of crimes against humanity. Biden cares not for our laws or international laws, not for decency. The atrocities against the civilian population in Gaza and the West Bank are unforgivable. Biden does NOT deserve to be president again either. I’m older but I agree with the young people. Both these guys must go.

    What?
    I was very disturbed by the Justice Breyer episode. He didn’t answer any of your legitimate questions and he spoke in arcane and unclear examples and references. The court has lost its legitimacy and standing. Period. All of the rulings have been biased. The fact that they have no ethics standards is alarming. Dark money Leonard Leo and the billionaires, have their foot on the necks of these people. I think there is no way they can be taken seriously anymore until this changes. Justice Thomas and his wife are grifters and his wife should be arrested. Justice Alito is an ideologue on steroids. I used to respect the court but no more. B NC 68 W/F Dem

    Steven Breyer dodges questions
    James and Al asked important questions about the state of the current Supreme Court. Breyer bristled at their audacity and responded by quoting barely relevant historic statements. He came across as arrogant and stodgy seeming to care more about respecting institutions (eg. the Supreme Court) than fairness and democracy. Why would I read his book?

    I May Not Always Agree but I Still Listen
    The podcast is always thought-provoking with great guests. The discussion with Justice Breyer was especially brilliant. I may not always agree with the hosts but both Al and James are intelligent, interesting and ask very good questions. For all of these reasons, I am a loyal listener.

    Hmmm
    I tried, but your opinions on women were questionable, to say the least.

    Stupid republicans
    GREAT JOB James. I wish we convince These stupid republicans in Tennessee that roe v wade should be left alone. I think that some of the republican candidates this November will finally wake up too late. That’s great if only some of the women vote for us democrats!!!!!!!! Yellow Dog Democrat Bobby Spradlin
  • Margotjd
    Tired of listening to preachy white men.
    And with Carville’s comment about women you guys lost a listener. Time for James to hang it up because we’re tired of listening to a guy who never runs out of air & soap boxes lecturing women about how we should speak.
  • DrDK2
    Bye Bye, James
    I’m one of those “preachy females” (who also happens to be a physician) who used to listen to your show. I know you like to be “outrageous” but this time, I’m not finding your misogyny colorful or entertaining. Count me as a FORMER subscriber.

    Biden
    Stop bashing him. You think Trump is the better choice? Tune into Simon Rosenberg. This morning you referred to strong women as preachy. For that reason, I am deleting this app. I was mad when you were bashing Biden. This ended it for me for such a smart man, James you should see the backlash online that you created.

    Stolen election

    👍

    Great podcast but terrible production
    I love listening to James and Al and the guests are very interesting. I’ve been a huge James Carville fan since the late 80’s, and through this podcast I’ve discovered how much I like Al. I love the frank language and laugh during each episode, however, the background noise has to be silenced. It drives me nuts to hear James’ phone and Mary talking/clanking dishes in the background. Please don’t eat during the podcast either! Al often clears his throat right into the microphone and it’s maddening. Address your GERD, Al. No dairy. I love you guys and want your podcast to reflect your brilliance.

    Can be interesting at times, but these old white guys, are quite racist against specific peoples. Very old-line, Zionist, Colonialist Dems. Get good history tales from time to time but be prepared for revisionist histories.

    Doddering Old Fools
    Two doddering old fools disloyal to Biden talking over each other. They can’t hear and they can’t think anymore. Shut up and vote Biden in November. Thank you.

    Al, crunchy or smooth? I look forward to Thursday every week!

    Hungry?
    It is the height of bad manners to fill your mouth and talk. If you are hungry, please have the courtesy to eat before you podcast. President Biden was absolutely correct to come out and protest about the obviously malicious statements in special counsel Hurs report. The fact that he mixed up the Egyptian and Mexico borders only goes to prove that these are both upper most on his mind which is precisely where they should be. Al Hunt, you maybe the same age as your President but thank God it is not you in the hot seat. I dread the think where we would be were that the case!!
  • skidMarks PI
    Shut UP AL..stop talking over James
    Al PLEASE stop Talking over James. Soooo annoying.
  • marybl63
    Too much Dumping on Biden /Harris
    Good lord every single week with the bashing of Biden! Maybe you are are partly responsible for the polling numbers! Just stop.
  • Prometheus---
    Great show……
    Simon Rosenberg is either a genius or the village idiot. I suspect the latter is the case.
  • Mzzingu
    I don’t care for the foul language

    Love the show but please drop this bad rock music, bring back the old intro/outro music.

    I think someone was doing dishes in the background.

    Provocative show

    Common Sense Politics
    If you are a trump diehard this is outside of your chamber. If you want a common sense look into politics they break it down. Al has research chops that are beyond reproach to say the least, and James brings the wisdom of someone who’s seen it all! It’s a great look at current events!
  • Sagely Warrior ML
    Great podcast!
    I get such a kick out of James Carville…he’s such a seasoned & knowledgeable treasure while still maintaining that honest if not earnest, “aw shucks” demeanor, I love it! That said, this comment is specifically about the 6/15 show with SecDef Cohen-extremely interesting and I so appreciate his opinions. Thanks for providing such intelligent, interesting and informed guests on, and you do this consistently. 12/7 show- again, James Carville had me cracking up laughing, and I sure needed that today!!! That said, highly informative show, esp with today’s guest. GREAT INFO. Thanks….
  • me too you too
    Balanced topics
    They provide a balanced view of politics today

    Invaluable Insights!
    Politics is affected by all sorts of forces, and these two have masterful insights across the board. Each podcast is like a master class in contemporary American Politics, and reflects their decades of experience. Highly recommend.

    Enough already with age
    At this point we just need to ensure Biden is re-elected. 2028 will be the new crop. We need 4 more years that continue to get us further out from the corrupt trump chaos and legacy.
  • Anner07

    The Israel and Palestinian war has become a major political challenge between Hamas/Palestine, is not just to remove Hamas, but to destroy and completely eliminate all Palestinians.

    Turn off propaganda media @Indira_L
    Why do you guys continue to listen to propaganda News media and repeat it over and over again about a Poll. Biden is the best presidential candidate for 2024 against any republican and that is why the news media is trying to really force Biden and Harris out of the 2024 race to make sure republicans sweep. Remember the red wave News Media and Republican Lie but I see 2 smart political men have learned ZERO FROM THAT LIE. @Indira_L you gave so much misinformation from your bias on the @JamesCarville and Al Hunt show and I know you know better. I should not know more facts then you but I do and I knew in March 2023 that Netanyahu was going to do a Genocide on the Palestinian people. Israel knew. @Indira_L you gave so much misinformation from your bias on the @JamesCarville and Al Hunt show and I know you know better.

    Best Podcast Ever!
    I wait with child-like anticipation for the next episode to drop on Thursdays. It is by far the best political podcast and I have listened to many of them. Carville and Hunt don't beat around the bush because they respect their listeners so they give it to them straight. With Carville's fearless use of the English language, he makes me laugh out loud every episode. Both Hunt and Carville put current issues in historical context. They are smart and you will be smarter for listening to this podcast!

    Question from Listener
    Can I give 10 stars? Look forward to each week’s episode. Thanks to James I now know the difference between the chicken and the hog when it comes to an egg and sausage breakfast.
  • Max Edison
    Almost Perfect
    I love this podcast but I understood very little of whatever words the Israeli guy was saying at the first. Very thick accents don’t work well on podcasts. However it was better than the lengthy love-in of the Phillies last week. Y’all need to focus on your product.
  • Deathstar20000000
    Please turn off phone alerts
    The constant dinging of phone(s) is becoming unbearable. Can’t you put them on vibrate for two hours?
  • samnleec
    The best
    Best political podcast out there. Period.
  • PlayingInScottsdale
    So cheating is OK? . . .
    I’m surprised at all the praise for the Houston Astros going to the World Series so many times and not one mention that there are still cheaters on the team.

    Feasterville in Bucks county
    Southeastern Pa. Just outside Philadelphia Hey guys I agree with the comment about Biden’s age as you are always pounding on it just like the crazy maga republicans. If you would stop doing that and talk constantly about the accomplishments (pounding )maybe people would listen.

    Intelligent Conversation
    I look forward to Thursdays, listening to James and Al and their wonderful guests. Best political podacast!
  • Willythepitbull
    Horrible production
    Love Carville and wanted to like the show but I just can’t do it. The constant background noise, phone alerts and bad microphone levels make this podcast unlistenable. Keep fighting the good fight though!
  • JABLATX
    Truthful
    With Al and James you may hear things you find unappealing but sometimes the truth can hurt.

    Tired of Biden Bashing, Fear Mongering of MAGA
    I started listening recently and loved this podcast for the information about liberal politics that were refreshingly positive in bent, however, I now am tired of the Biden is not good enough stream of consciousness along with the we better be afraid of what the MAGA will do so we better placate them somehow tripe. We have to support Biden NOW, our democracy depends on it so can the vicissitudes of his doom. By the way, I can stand my ground as well as any MAGA so I am not going to cower in the root cellar from them!
  • Craycraygraygray
    The corrupt elephant in the room
    Hard to take this one-sided, partisan podcast seriously if they can’t address the clear corruption of the Biden Family and their worldwide influence peddling scheme. So quick to jump on an echo of a rumor for any possible Trump corruption, to paraphrase Carville, “it’s the corruption, STUPID”. Joe Biden is a joke and if you need proof, look no further than Afghanistan 🙄
  • Old Lady in Baltimore
    I’m Done
    I’m a faithful listener who invariably learns something from and laughs at something James says on every podcast. I’m sad to say, I’m done. Your never ending drumbeat of how Joe Biden is too old to run and that young people and people of color will not vote for him is overwrought and unhelpful. As a lifelong Democrat, and I’ve lived a long time, I’ve held my nose and always voted for the Democratic candidate regardless of my personal preference because I recognize what the alternatives would bring. I think that your recent handwringing will only serve to bolster the No Labels and Cornel West mischief. You had a wonderful guest on a few weeks ago, Frank Foer, who could not have been more positive as to Biden’s mental competency and yet you continue to harp on what you see in the polls but offer nothing constructive other than he shouldn’t run. I believe that your fears are sincere, as are mine, but I’m going to play the hand that I was dealt, not throw in the cards. I wish you would, too.

    Biden Too Old?
    I’m done with you and Al. How stupid can you be? Biden is doing a great job yet you and Al keep pounding ageism BULL. Can’t listen anymore. Bye
