James and Al look at the Senate run-off in Texas, the blue shift in the Hispanic vote, the effects of redistricting in California, and MAGA’s attempt at voter suppression under the SAVE Act. Then, they welcome Dr. Trita Parsi for a deep dive into U.S.-Iran relations, exploring Iran’s historical significance, how war will change the region, their ability to repel an invasion, and game out the ways the conflict might end. Then, James sits down with Stephen A. Smith to discuss how to win over young men, the power of authenticity, making predictions in sports and politics, and insights from his legendary career.
