Tim Miller hosts Bill Kristol on The Bulwark Podcast to discuss current affairs, focusing on what Kristol describes as a "march towards despotism" in the U.S., rather than a democratic backsliding. They analyze recent events, including the takeover of the D.C. police force, the expansion of ICE, and the purging of military leaders and intelligence professionals. The conversation extends to the Justice Department's investigation of John Bolton, corporate extortion, and the implications of these actions. They also discuss Wes Moore's response to Trump's threats regarding Baltimore and the situation in Israel and Gaza, as well as the transgender military ban.
