Rick Wilson On Republican's Saying FIRE STEPHEN MILLER - Fast Politics w/ Molly Jong-Fast



In this wide-ranging, sharply opinionated exchange, Rick Wilson and Molly discuss Senator Tom Tillis’s newfound willingness to criticize Trump-world figures like Stephen Miller, contrast it with other GOP voices pushing aggressive military escalation, and argue that the U.S. is burning through money and critical missile-defense supplies needed both in the Middle East and for Ukraine.

They frame the current conflict as politically motivated and broadly unpopular with the public, then pivot to Democratic hesitation to oppose war funding for fear of “voting against the troops,” warning it could repeat the endless supplemental-spending pattern of Iraq and Afghanistan.

The conversation also touches on fears of a potential draft, rising gas prices tied to Middle East instability, skepticism that clean-energy adoption can accelerate under reduced EV incentives, and polling suggesting independents—and increasingly Hispanic voters focused on affordability—are moving strongly against Trump and down-ballot Republicans as economic pressures grow. - 03/08/2026.
