JD Vance Is Flirting With Extremists (w/ Will Sommer) | The Bulwark Podcast

The people running the Republican grassroots are nativist populists, and it's a space where opposition to Israel thrives, along with a heaping serving of antisemitism. Candace's wild theories about the Charlie Kirk assassination has had a big impact among the young who get their news from TikTok and Instagram. And JD—who is the top-billed speaker at this year's AmericaFest—is sending signals that he's absorbing the nativist and anti-Zionist views among right-wing influencers like Tucker. Plus, Susie Wiles dishes on Trump and other top figures, and Stephen Miller's wife is running a North Korea-style podcast with some of the biggest names in the administration—but with virtually no audience. Will Sommer joins Tim Miller.
