Before this month's semiquincentennial celebration, the United States' last milestone anniversary was in 1976–during a difficult period. “The 1970s were a rough time–9 percent unemployment, 15 percent inflation, violent crime tripled, divorce rates tripled. It was a rough time,” says David Brooks, staff writer for The Atlantic. Still, he says, it was a unifying and uplifting moment. He asks Danielle Allen, Reihan Salam, Martha Jones, and Shilo Brooks how today is different from the bicentennial and whether the original ideas that bound us together–laid out in the Declaration of Independence–still apply. Allen is political science professor at Harvard; Salam is president of the Manhattan Institute; Jones is a professor at John Hopkins University; and Shilo Brooks is president and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

Rob Henderson grew up in poverty in Los Angeles moving from foster home to foster home, seeing addiction, instability, and family breakdown all around him. He joined the U.S. Air Force at 17, entered Yale University at 25 with help from the GI Bill, and completed his PhD at the University of Cambridge. He climbed “every rung on the American class ladder,” as he describes it.But at Yale and other elite universities, he saw the spread of radical ideas—abolish the police, empty prisons, dismantle marriage, decriminalize all drugs—ideas that he understood would be devastating to the communities he grew up in.And that's how he came to develop his now famous concept of luxury beliefs: “Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the affluent … while inflicting costs on the less fortunate members of society,” he says.How is it that these ideas came to be so pervasive? And what are their true consequences for society?Henderson is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, contributing editor of City Journal, and bestselling author of “Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Christopher Rufo is arguably the most successful activist of the MAGA era. He rose to prominence fighting D.E.I. initiatives and critical race theory. In President Trump's second term, he's had a huge influence on policy, from Trump's executive orders against D.E.I. and the attacks on the Department of Education to the ICE and C.B.P. deployments to Minneapolis. Rufo, helpfully, calls his shots. He has published a guide, “The New Right Activism: A Manifesto for the Counterrevolution,” in which he argued for the value of “agitprop” and counseled that “political life moves on narrative, emotion, scandal, anger, hope, and faith — on irrational, or at least subrational, feelings.” But more recently, in his writing and on the podcast he co-hosts, “Rufo & Lomez,” he seems worried about the new right he has helped build: its attraction to conspiracy theories, its racialist thinking, its internal fissures. So I wanted to have him on the show to talk about the problems he sees on his side, but also to interrogate whether he may have scored short-term victories while seeding profound long-term problems. Rufo is a senior fellow and director of the initiative on critical race theory at the Manhattan Institute. He's a contributing editor of City Journal and the author of “America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything.” This episode contains strong language.

The Department of Justice is cracking down on nationwide protests erupting over President Trump's border policies. Backed by a new $70-billion Homeland Security bill funding ICE and Border Patrol, federal prosecutors have charged 15 individuals in Minnesota with violently resisting federal officers. FOX News' Bill Melugin speaks with former Acting ICE Director Jonathan Fahey to break down the DOJ's new legal strategy, and the intense political battle across the country that's shaping the future of America's immigration enforcement. Average grade point averages in American high schools and colleges have mysteriously skyrocketed over recent decades, leaving many to wonder if a 4.0 still means what it used to as an A becomes the nation's most common grade. Neetu Arnold of the Manhattan Institute joins to discuss how grade inflation and a decline in school accountability have compromised academic readiness, the consequences for students entering higher education and the workforce, and why elite universities are reversing pandemic-era policies to bring back standardized testing metrics.

What is the future of the Republican and Democratic parties in our nation? The answer may surprise you.rnrnAhead of the 2026 midterm elections, in an age of ideological tension where politics seems more divided than ever, a new Manhattan Institute poll is cutting through the noise-showing us all where the political right and left parties are actually headed. The findings urge us to be wary of the narratives pushed by online algorithms and corporate media, and to uncover the actual values of average Americans. This polling, for both Democrats and Republicans, provides a compelling snapshot of the challenges facing each party, and, by extension, our democracy.rnrnBehind the research is Jesse Arm, the Vice President of External Affairs at the Manhattan Institute, where he oversees communications, government relations, and polling. Before the Manhattan Institute, Jesse worked as a pollster and project manager at Applecart, an NYC-based political consulting and data analytics firm, where he advised political campaigns, advocacy organizations, trade associations, and corporations.rnrnJoin us at the City Club as Karen Kasler, Statehouse News Bureau Chief at Ohio Public Radio and Television, sits down with Jesse Arm to discuss his latest research, and what it means for communities across the nation, the politics shaping our lives, and the future of our democracy.
