In a powerful June 2025 interview, a former U.S. president broke his silence, delivering a stark warning about today’s political leadership. Speaking with a mix of concern and clarity, he slammed rising authoritarian attitudes, criticized leaders who believe they’re “above the rules,” and praised the courts for holding power in check.
“The courts are pushing back — and that’s exactly what should happen in a democracy,” he said, warning that the system’s balance is fragile and public trust is eroding fast.
Though he avoided naming names early on, his targets became clear — and Americans across the political spectrum are taking notice.
