AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
Former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will probably run for president.
People call him a "staunch conservative."
In our extended interview, I give him a hard time about that.
"Conservative" once meant promoting limited government. But lately Republicans push new regulations and drive up America's debt by spending more.
Pompeo surprised me by agreeing that, under Donald Trump, Republicans spent too much. He surprised me again by saying that entitlements must be cut and that we don't need to spend more on our military. That was refreshing.
