JB Pritzker and Franklin Foer: Like Living in an Authoritarian Regime

In this episode of The Bulwark Podcast, host Tim Miller interviews Illinois Governor JB Pritzker about the escalating ICE operations in Chicago and the administration's response, including the deployment of troops and the alleged harassment of citizens. Pritzker criticizes the federal government's actions, discusses the state's efforts to combat crime, and calls for more support from Washington in the form of civilian law enforcement. The episode also features a conversation with Frank Foer from The Atlantic, who discusses his article on the Israeli hostages, the potential for peace in the Middle East, and the challenges posed by Trump's foreign policy. Foer also revisits themes from his book "World Without Mind," focusing on the threats posed by big tech and AI to individual thought and creativity, and the potential for a populist backlash against Silicon Valley.
