| 0:00.0 | From Cafe and the Vox Media Podcast Network, welcome to stay tuned. |
| 0:05.8 | I'm Preet Bharara. |
| 0:08.8 | It's really important to understand that this is a radical administration. It is not a |
| 0:13.1 | conservative administration. And that's why it feels like it has nothing to do with conservatives |
| 0:17.5 | in the past. |
| 0:22.6 | That's Anne Applebaum. |
| 0:24.4 | She's a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, staff writer at The Atlantic, and host of the podcast Autocracy in America, now in its third season. |
| 0:33.0 | She's also the author of several books, including most recently Autocracy Inc., which |
| 0:38.1 | examines how modern autocracies cooperate to maintain power. |
| 0:42.2 | In recent weeks, Anne has focused on what's happening in Minneapolis, where ICE operations |
| 0:46.9 | have led to the killing of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Preti. |
| 0:51.8 | She argues that what we're seeing isn't just about immigration enforcement, |
| 0:55.1 | but a broader shift in the exercise of state power. We talk about why Minneapolis has galvanized |
| 1:00.2 | people in a way few events have in the Trump era. What it means when our closest allies say the word |
| 1:05.1 | for this moment is rupture, and why Anne says the better comparison for the second Trump administration |
| 1:09.8 | isn't conservatism, |
| 1:11.5 | it's Bolshevism. |
| 1:13.1 | Then I'll answer your questions about the FBI's seizure of election ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, |
| 1:18.0 | and the risks of refusing to pay taxes as a political protest. |
| 1:21.8 | That's coming up. Stay tuned. |
