Summary

Stephen Miller’s fascistic eulogy at the Charlie Kirk memorial rally shocked the world with its apocalyptic imagery. This cold, rage-driven and deliberately vicious right-wing operative is more than Trump’s deputy chief of staff. He’s the driving force behind the Administration’s most extreme moves, from mass disappearances to troops on the street to the clampdown on the wrong sort of free speech. Nikki McCann Ramírez of the American Friction podcast and Rolling Stone joins Andrew Harrison to explore the origins of the man they’re calling “America’s real President” and his nightmare vision for the country’s future. • Follow American Friction for the best analysis of US politics, twice a week.  • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
