    James and Al reflect on the presidential transition under the shadow of J6, Trump’s use of foreign policy distractions to bamboozle the media, how Biden’s accomplishments have been ignored, and Mike Johnson’s election as Speaker. Then, they welcome President Carter’s speechwriter, James Fallows, to discuss the legacy of the 39th president, looking at his appointment of Paul Volcker to tame inflation, the transfer of the Panama Canal, the excitement he generated among voters, and how he set the groundwork for Regan’s successes. Then, they compare him to Trump and share their thoughts on what to expect during the upcoming inauguration.
