Adam Kinzinger: It's Starting to Happen

Podcast cover

The Bulwark Podcast

This podcast features an interview with Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican congressman, discussing the potential for a pro-democracy movement similar to the Tea Party. The conversation analyzes the recent Georgia town hall protests and the impact of public outrage on politicians, suggesting that focusing on billionaire overreach, particularly Elon Musk's actions, could be a unifying rallying cry. Kinzinger and the host also discuss the concerning implications of Kash Patel's appointment as FBI director and the potential for a European-led response to the war in Ukraine if the US withdraws support. A specific example highlighted is the firing of veteran government employees by Musk, illustrating the potential for a broader movement against billionaire influence.
