This episode's focus on the (lack of) effectiveness of radical climate activism was perfectly timed. Right after Marshall recorded the intro, activists from Climate Defiance stormed the stage of the Abundance 2024 conference he's MCing in DC. They interrupted Matt Yglesias's interview with The Atlantic's Derek Thompson on the "Abundance Agenda" because of Matt's support for fracking. Today's guest is Foreign Policy's Cameron Abadi, author of Climate Radicals: Why Our Environmental Politics Isn't Working. Marshall and Cameron discuss why doom-centric radical activism isn't advancing the environmental policy agenda in Europe, the state of climate politics in the U.S., and the broader debate over whether it is best to work outside or within the system to enact change.

Admiral James Stavridis, former NATO Allied Supreme Commander and author of The Restless Wave: A Novel of the United States Navy, returns to The Realignment. Marshall and Admiral Stavridis discuss how the challenges facing America in the 1930s: debates over isolationism, economic pessimism, and a military establishment in need of reform, mirror those of the 2020s, the differences between writing a novel about the past vs. the near future, the ever-evolving role of the Navy, and why America's WWII legacy is increasingly controversial.

H.W. Brands, Jack S. Blanton Chair in History at the University of Texas at Austin and author of America First: Roosevelt vs. Lindbergh in the Shadow of War, joins The Realignment. Marshall and H.W. discuss the ways that FDR and Charles Lindbergh's debate over American intervention in WWII parallel today's debates over Ukraine and Taiwan, the origins of the phrase "America First," why non-interventionism shouldn't be dismissed out of hand, why FDR won the "great debate" with the America First Committee, even before Pearl Harbor, and how Lindbergh's story offers lessons for humility when approaching politics and war from the outsider's perspective.

Gary Winslett, Chamber of Progress Senior Advisor, Middlebury College Professor, and author of the Democratic Cost-of-Living Agenda, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Gary discuss why voters rank rising costs as their top election concern, how housing, energy, infrastructure, healthcare, and childcare are limited by a lack of supply and rising costs, the case for the abundance agenda and supply-side progressivism, and the increasing bipartisan consensus in favor of reform.

Max Boot, Washington Post columnist and author of Reagan: His Life and Legacy, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Max discuss whether (unlike previous Republican Presidents and nominees) Reagan would have supported Trump, why the Reagan Era of American politics is coming to an end, whether Never Trump identifying conservatives have a future in the Republican Party, and why Biden's attempt to create a center-left version of Reagan's presidency failed.

Earlier this month, Marshall moderated multiple panels at the Foundation for American Innovation's Reboot 2024: The New Reality. Today's episode is a conversation between Marshall, New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer, and Bismark Analysis founder Samo Burja. They discuss the degree to which Silicon Valley has moved to the right during the Trump era, whether the post-Biden Democratic Party can win back the tech industry's center, and the role of the techlash in shifting the valley's ideology.

Marshall and Ro discuss his vision for the country, how to make America a manufacturing superpower again, what populists got wrong during the Trump-Biden era, why the Biden economic approach didn't resonate with voters, and the need to broaden the reindustrialization conversation away from semiconductors and clean energy.
