Part 1:We talk with Jeet Heer, National Affairs Correspondent, The NationWe discuss the behavior of the Democratic Party. The are ineffectual, and leadership is lacking, with the exception of Bernie Sanders and AOC. They are following a program of cowardice, as exemplified by Schumer. Large law firms are caving to trumpists. Judges are at risk, with threats being uttered. When will it be 'enough' to make voters react?Part 2:We talk with Eamon Whalen, a freelance journalist who writes about the right wing, and about the 'masculinity culture'.We discuss with Mr. Whalen the 'crisis of masculinity, and its implications. Specifically, he writes about Richard Reeves, who is pushing this concept. Rather than concentrating on which MEN are pushing men, and others down, the theory goes that it is WOMEN who are pushing men, especially young men, down. This masculinity movement scapegoats women. Music: From David Rovics, “The Richest Man in the World Says So”, 2025

What happened in the 2024 elections, and what happens now? Donald J. Trump is headed back to the White House, Republicans will control the Senate, and it's possible they will control all three branches of government when the dust settles. Democrats' “blue wall” crumbled in the face of the MAGA-led “red wave,” but that picture gets more complicated when we survey the results of other key races and ballot measures across the country. So, what really happened on Tuesday? What do the results tell us about the political landscape and the balance of power in the US? How did Democrats lose so soundly, how did Republicans pull off such sizable wins? And what implications do the elections have for the future of civil rights, immigration, protest and social movements, public policy, the climate, Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, and America's place on the world stage?In this post-election livestream, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez and Marc Steiner, host of The Marc Steiner Show, are joined by a range of guests to help break down the wins, losses, and strategies for moving forward from the 2024 elections. Guests include: scholar-activist and artist Eman Abdelhadi; Rick Perlstein, columnist at The American Prospect and author of numerous books like “Nixonland,” “Reaganland,” and “Before the Storm”; Laura Flanders, host of “Laura Flanders & Friends” on PBS; John Nichols, National Affairs Correspondent at The Nation; Bill Gallegos of the Mexico Solidarity Project; and TRNN reporters Taya Graham and Stephen Janis, who have been on the ground in Wisconsin all week.Studio: David Hebden, Cameron Granadino, Adam ColeyPre-Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Kayla Rivara, Jocelyn DombroskiHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

Alan Minsky sits in for host Suzi Weissman on a special pre-election edition of Jacobin Radio. In the first half, Alan speaks with economist Mark Paul, Professor of Public Policy at Rutgers University, about a California ballot measure, Prop 33, that addresses one of the top concerns of voters across the country: the cost of housing. Prop 33 would eliminate statewide restrictions on rent control measures. Predictably, a PAC supported by large real estate corporations is spending over $100 million to try to defeat it. Paul explains why the arguments made by opponents of Prop 33 are misguided, and that the measure, if passed, will provide much needed relief for over-burdened poor, working- and middle-class Californians.Then, in the second half of the show, John Nichols, the National Affairs Correspondent for The Nation, talks with Alan about the homestretch of the presidential election. Just like 2016 and 2020, Donald Trump is in a virtual tie with the Democratic nominee. John reflects on the race in his home state of Wisconsin, which is once again one of the few swing states that will decide the election — and explains why the Harris campaign would be well-served by campaigning on a progressive economic and pro-labor platform.Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.
