About this episode
Our guest is Curt Mills, executive director of The American Conservative, and the subject of a recent profile in Jewish Currents. Curt is one of most influential thinkers in defining a conservative foreign policy that is skeptical of both war and unconditional support for Israel. We talked about why he supported Donald Trump in 2024, and what he thinks of Trump now, about the role of racism in conservative opposition to immigration, and about what J.D. Vance believes. We disagreed on a lot, but I found the conversation valuable.
