Bethany McLean, co-author of The Big Fail: and co-host of the Capitalisn't podcast, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Bethany discuss how her exploration of COVID America fits into the story of her previous exposés, The Smartest Guys in the Room and All the Devils Are Here, the impact of snarled supply chains, school closures, and poorly evaluated mask mandates, and why she believes capitalism has jumped the rails in the 21st century.

Seth D. Kaplan, fragile states expert and author of Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society, One Zip Code at a Time, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Seth discuss how the roots of the issues plaguing America: rising crime, school violence, family disintegration, addiction, alienation, and despair lie in our failing neighborhood structures, why wealthier and urban neighborhoods aren't immune from decline, and how revitalizing local institutions and our social ties can help repair the country.

James Pethokoukis, AEI Senior Fellow and author of The Conservative Futurist: How to Create the Sci-Fi World We Were Promised, joins The Realignment. Marshall and James discuss his why he describes post-1970s America as suffering from the "Great Downshift," a sharp decline in technological progress, economic stagnation, and downsized dreams, why we should be optimistic about the future, despite fears of a looming technopocalypse, the role of developments in AI, space exploration, and energy abundance, the agenda for recovering the expansively futuristic spirit of the 1950s and 1960s, and why conservative futurism isn't an oxymoron.

Oren Cass, Executive Director and founder of American Compass, returns to The Realignment. In this episode, Marshall and Oren unpack the findings of "The New Conservative Voter," an American Compass/YouGov survey of 1,000 GOP voters, focused on economic policy. They discuss Oren's belief that "a realignment that focuses the Republican Party on pro-worker economic policy is well underway," why GOP voters continue to prioritize socio-cultural issues over economic issues, how a legitimately pro-worker GOP could transform American politics, and where voters stand on the "New Right" vs "Old Right" debates over economic policy.

Nabila Ramdani, journalist and author of Fixing France: How to Save a Broken Republic, joins The Realignment. Nabila and Marshall discuss the challenges and problems facing the French Fifth Republic, why she believes Emmanuel Macron's presidency trends towards failure, France's foreign policy in former colonial Africa and Ukraine, and why it may be time for a Sixth Republic premised on a reconception of the country's democratic practices at the presidential and parliamentary levels.

Vincent Bevins, author of If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution and The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade & the Mass Murder Program That Shaped Our World, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Vincent discuss how, from 2010 to 2020, more people participated in protests than at any point in human history, the factors that drove protests in countries like Brazil, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey, Hong Kong, and Ukraine, the short-term success and long-term checkered track-record of mass protests, and why he believes the conventional wisdom on revolutionary change is gravely misguided.
