Fiona Hill's Blunt Warning About Donald Trump and the Future of America - iGen Politics Podcast

[Rhiannon12866]

Fiona Hill, former U.S. National Security Council official during the Trump administration and author of the brand new book, "There is Nothing For You Here: Finding Opportunity in the 21st Century" joins Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi to discuss the ways deindustrialization and the gender pay gap are contributing to an employment crisis for young people and women. Is deindustrialization fomenting the grievances and populist politics that fuel authoritarianism? And can we combine optimism and action to overcome the dangers posed by aspiring tyrants around the world?

Those who have watched our show in the past know that Fiona is a friend of the podcast and is aware of her impressive background. If you missed Fiona’s previous iGen Politics podcast appearances, here are some of her career highlights: she is now a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, but from 2017 to 2019, she served as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council. She was a powerful witness during the first impeachment hearing. Her expertise is the basis of several books, including one she co-authored, “Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin.”
