About JD Vance: From Trump critic to vice president

From hillbilly to the White House: J. D. Vance’s rise to become Trump’s vice-president is seen by many as symbolic of a worrying trend in the US that’s further polarizing society. J. D. Vance’s story is the story of an America that has long felt overlooked. An America of the white working class, marked by economic decline, the opioid crisis and the aftermath of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. An America that fears losing even the little that it still holds on to, through migration and social upheaval. J. D. Vance has undergone a remarkable transformation: from a fierce critic of Donald Trump to a loyal supporter of the MAGA movement and, ultimately, Trump’s vice-president. As far as his supporters are concerned, it is a career trajectory that gives him credibility. Critics, on the other hand, see in his politics a dynamic that could upset the political balance in the US and endanger democracy. Some already regard him as a potential contender for the presidency. ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines. Watch top documentaries from German

It’s Not Illegal When the President Does It | America’s Surveillance State (5/6)

The NSA was originally created to keep America safe, but today it seems more focused on protecting itself. Since Edward Snowden’s disclosures, “insider threats” have become the agency’s top concern. The NSA even estimates that up to 4,000 employees may not be trustworthy. This episode of America’s Surveillance State explores how whistleblowers have been treated and how the agency now forces employees to monitor each other. Former NSA executive Thomas Drake recalls being tagged early on as a problem, because he was raising grave concerns about NSA conduct shortly after 9/11. To his concerns, the lead attorney officer replied "You don’t understand, all the lawyers have looked at it, the White House has approved it, it’s all legal", which is precisely what Nixon had said. Unlike earlier whistleblowers, Snowden managed to release secret documents publicly, working with journalists like Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras to put them in context while protecting agents’ names. His revelations made clear that insider threats will not disappear: Snowden was not the first, nor will he be the last. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Report
