Bill Kristol: Limp Opposition

from The Bulwark Podcast · host The Bulwark

Thom Tillis finally showed some backbone and opposed Trump—because of the giant Medicaid cuts in the Big Fugly Bill—but now he has to self-deport from the Senate.

It would also cripple wind and solar energy, which even the ex-shadow president says is insane and destructive. Plus, ICE's racial and ethnic targeting, the plutocrats are the biggest suck-ups, and Peter Thiel—the man who gave us JD Vance—isn't sure he wants the human race to continue. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.show notes Bill's "Bulwark on Sunday" interview with Tom Joscelyn Douthat's interview with Thiel
