Right Now With Perry Bacon

Representative Greg Casar says the Trump administration is an alliance of the superwealthy and the right-wing—and that Democrats can defeat them by becoming a pro-worker, anti-billionaire party.

The decision by Trump administration officials to reportedly drop an investigation into allegations that Trump border czar Tom Homan took bribes is the last example of this being “the most corrupt administration in American history,” says Representative Greg Casar. In the latest edition of Right Now With Perry Bacon, Casar says the Homan scandal is only the latest example of an administration full of people trying to profit off their government service. Referring to the temporary cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Casar argues that the Trump administration is an “unholy alliance” between the superrich and archconservatives. To defeat that alliance, Casar says, the Democrats must become a truly pro-worker, anti-billionaire party. He calls for banning the use of super PACs in Democratic primaries. Casar, head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, says the group is developing a list of populist economic policies that Democrats across the country can run on. Casar argues that while Democrats should not abandon causes such as immigration and trangender rights, the party will succeed if it is primarily known for its economic stances.

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension by ABC is another example of both media capitulation to President Trump and the administration’s war on the press, say Kathy Roberts Ford, a journalism professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and TNR contributor Ana Marie Cox. In the latest edition of Right Now With Perry Bacon, the two explain why Kimmel’s suspension is so alarming. They connected it to Trump’s lawsuits against The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times as well as his administration’s use of regulatory authority to pressure media companies. They emphasized that media organizations owned by large corporations with other businesses are particularly unwilling to defend journalistic principles. Cox also expressed worries about small outlets being targeted by the Trump administration.

President Trump should not be deploying the National Guard to cities without the permission of their mayors, says Justin Bibb, the mayor of Cleveland and the current president of the Democratic Mayors Association. In the latest edition of Right Now With Perry Bacon, Bibb sharply criticized the Trump administration’s urban policies. He touted declining crime rates in cities across the country, including Cleveland, arguing that data shows cities don’t need federal interference.
