    What Should Replace What Trump Is Destroying?

    Trump’s opponents keep talking about restoring what he’s broken—but Adam Gurry, publisher of Liberal Currents, joins the show to argue that going back to normal isn’t enough. We discuss the Reconstruction Papers, a collection of essays laying out a post-Trump policy vision across immigration, higher education, foreign policy, and more. We talk about why the pre-Trump status quo had its own serious problems, what liberals can learn from both the successes and failures of Reconstruction after the Civil War, and how a small publication is trying to shift the Democratic Party’s intellectual direction from the outside. Right Now with Perry Bacon: a twice-weekly show diving into U.S. politics, democracy, and the authoritarian threats facing America. Each episode, Perry strives to go beyond daily headlines and actually connect the dots to what’s happening in America. ➡️ View the Right Now vault on TNR’s website: https://newrepublic.com/video/right-now-with-perry-bacon ➡️ Follow The New Republic on Substack to watch Right Now LIVE: https://newrepublic.substack.com/s/right-now-with-perry-bacon Get full access to The New Republic at newrepublic.substack.com/subscribe

    Fighting Trump and the Oligarchs’ Assault on Higher Education

    Yale just released a report on declining trust in higher education—and Education Secretary Linda McMahon loved it. Charlie Eaton, professor of economic sociology at UC Merced, and John Warner, writer at Inside Higher Ed, join the show to explain what’s really going on. We discuss why elite university presidents are echoing Republican talking points instead of fighting back, how billionaires like Marc Andreessen helped design the strategy to take down higher ed, why elite endowments sit largely untouched while top schools enroll more students from the top one percent than the bottom 60 percent, and how attacks on Harvard and Yale end up destroying funding for community colleges and working-class public universities that had nothing to do with any of it.

    Why This Year Could Be a Democratic Wave Election

    Democrats are favored to win back the House—but don’t expect a 2006-style wave. Carrie Dan, managing editor of Cook Political Report, joins the show to break down the 2026 midterm map. We discuss why redistricting has already netted Republicans six to eight seats, why there are only 36 truly competitive races compared to 58 in 2018, what Democrats would need to see to gain 25 seats or more, how the Iran war and gas prices are quietly eroding Republican enthusiasm, and why the key swing voters this cycle aren’t white suburbanites—they’re Latinos in South Texas and South Florida.

    The Winning Issue—If Only Democrats Will Grab It

    As tech billionaires build out massive, energy-hungry infrastructure to power artificial intelligence, a surprising bottom-up resistance is uniting communities across the country. Astra Taylor—documentary filmmaker, Debt Collective co-founder, and co-author of an upcoming book on fascism with Naomi Klein—joins the show to explain why the fight against hyperscale data centers is fundamentally about political economy and democratic control. We discuss how these multi-billion-dollar developments drain local water and power supplies while offering little more than a handful of low-wage jobs, why the corporate wing of the Democratic Party is missing a major winning issue by running away from anti-monopoly politics and student debt cancellation, and how localized, collective organizing remains our best defense against a rising oligarchy.

    How Democrats Defeat Trump’s Identity Politics | Right Now With Perry Bacon

    Frustration with the political establishment isn’t only about economic issues and won’t be solved simply by focusing on gross domestic product growth, inflation, or affordability. That’s the argument of Justin Gest, a policy and government professor at George Mason University. Gest has studied the rise of far-right and far-left parties both in the United States and Europe. The people drawn to those parties are not uniformly the poorest or those whose financial circumstances have worsened the most. Instead, populist sentiment springs from what Gest describes as “nostalgic deprivation”—the belief that a person’s social group has declined in wealth, respect, or influence over the past generation. So while Gest favors economic policies that help the working class, he argues that center-left and center-right parties also must connect with people’s sense of identity, history, and belonging. He calls for a “politics of recognition” that would emphasize what Americans have in common, such as largely being descended from other nations.
