The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

We're going to get into that a little bit.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

Yeah.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

I mean, it's very serious.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

As you mentioned, there have been some business guys finally showing some backbone on this.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

Also, just a little bit on the Hill we should mention, Tom Tillis spoke out about this quite quickly last night, and he wrote this in a statement.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

If there are any remaining doubt whether advisors within the Trump administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Fed, there should now be none.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

I don't know if it's in question at this point, but we'll give them something.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

It's better than nothing.

Tillis goes on, I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed, including the upcoming Fed chair vacancy until this legal matter is fully resolved.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

Now, Tillis by himself does not really have the power to hold up a Fed chair vacancy, but he had a couple of others, Murkowski, who knows, potentially others, and they really could have a standoff with him on this.

And also that the independence of the Department of Justice is in question.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

I don't think it is, actually.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

I think it's pretty clear that there is no independence.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

I don't even think that Trump is pretending like there is an independence of the Department of Justice right now.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

So I don't know what the question is.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

You know, I think all sides pretty much agree that the Department of Justice is now, you know, completely just in service to Donald Trump's wishes.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

Just for one second, we should do it, because why not?

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

We do the crystal fantasy politics.

The Bulwark Podcast
Bill Kristol: This Is Accelerationist Authoritarianism

Because as we get more and more into a crisis scenario where we are now, people do have agency on the Hill.
