Plus, the Senate races, and Tim's reporting from outside MSG.

Bob Kagan—who resigned from WAPO on Friday—and Bill Kristol join Tim Miller.

show notes:

Bill and Bob's conversation on authoritarianism in 2019
Bob's book, "Rebellion," published in April
Bob's 2016 piece warning how fascism could come to America
