In this special holiday episode, James and Al take Netanyahu to task for his failures and welcome their spouses Judy Woodruff and Mary Matalin. They explore the causes driving the partisan divisions that have come to define our politics, including the demise of local media, the salience of racism, and how we’ve come to disregard anything that comes from the other side. Building off of their conclusions, they discuss how we can rebuild a sense of community, hold conversations that move us forward, and bring opposing sides back together– both here and in the Middle East.
