For nearly 50 years, since the Ayatollah seized power in Iran and took Americans hostage, the U.S. has known that the regime could single-handedly shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Trump was reportedly warned of this threat, but the failed c***** owner blew it off. And now Iran unilaterally controls 20% of the world’s oil supply and an even higher percentage of the fertilizer inventory.
But the former vice president tells Tim that Trump’s judgment has been even worse on climate change. On the 20th anniversary of “An Inconvenient Truth,” Gore discusses how the rest of the global economy has ‘miraculously’ responded to the climate threat.
He also gives high marks to Mamdani, explains Trump’s use of fear, shares details about his relationship with Clinton—and how his actions after the 2000 election inspired Mike Pence on Jan. 6.
Former Vice President Al Gore joins Tim Miller on today's Bulwark Podcast.

Al Gore is an accomplished statesman, a Vietnam veteran, and an environmental activist.
He's dedicated his life to helping people, and his life of service is something we should all aspire to.
However... I'll never forgive him for trying to kill rock and roll.

ALL Trump voters have made a historic mistake.
All of them are responsible for what is happening in the world right now.

Some of the responsibility goes to the 36% of eligible voters who couldn’t be bothered to vote.

Great get of a guest. Al Gore should get back in the mix, I think more people have come around to respecting the value of boring and serious in politics, after the numerous disasters since Gore’s narrow loss 26 years ago. Classic tale of “You don’t know what you got until it’s gone.”

Ralph Nader created the problem. Gore would have won Florida by 50,000 votes if Nader wasn't so motivated to help Bush.

Right. Frontline (PBS) did an excellent report on the BS that Jeb pulled in the state of Florida. The Bush family should have been strung up for that alone.
