Why Trump's Immigration Crackdown Defines the Right
Below is an edited transcript of an episode of 'Interesting Times.' We recommend listening to it in its original form for the full effect. You can do so using the player above or on the NYT Audio app, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Ross Douthat: From New York Times Opinion, I'm Ross Douthat and this is 'Interesting Times.' What does the second Trump administration really stand for? How different is Trumpism from past forms of conservatism? This past week has felt like a pivotal moment to tackle those questions. The break with Elon Musk has seemingly brought an end to the great experiment with having Silicon Valley's tech right try to run Washington. The protests in Los Angeles and the president's militarized response highlight just how important immigration politics has become for American conservatism. And the battle in Congress over the 'big, beautiful bill' has brought back the ghosts of the Tea Party era. So it's a good time to talk about what Trumpism 2.0 actually represents, and my guest this week is the perfect person for that conversation. Matthew Continetti is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and he's the author of a recent book called 'The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism,' which is, in my opinion, the best recent intellectual history of the American right. So, Matthew Continetti, welcome to 'Interesting Times.' Matthew Continetti: Ross, thank you. It's great to be here. I'm looking forward to our discussion of 'Andor.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
