My Conversation with Miles Taylor
The elites have caved, says Miles Taylor, but the grassroots is rising.
Taylor served as chief of staff for the DHS during Trump’s first term but broke with the Administration. He is the founder of Defiance.org and joins me to discuss the pushback against Trumpism.
We touch on the meltdown of Trump’s big concert; his attempts to intimidate his critics; and his extraordinary losing streak in the courts.
We also discuss the administration’s attempt to gag federal employees with NDAs, and why brutality, cruelty, and horrific conditions in the detention facilities are part of Trump’s deliberate strategy.

Trump has turned detention into terror. Truly horrific conditions.
Remember: Trump wanted to shoot migrants in the legs.
Trump deliberately wanted to rip kids away.
The opposition to Trump is rising.
