Liz Cheney: podcast appearances and interviews

Liz Cheney is an American attorney, former politician, and a lecturer at Drake. She served as the U.S. representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district from 2017 to 2023. Cheney also held the position of chair of the House Republican Conference from 2019 to 2021. She is the daughter of former vice president Dick Cheney and second lady Lynne Cheney. Cheney held several roles in the U.S. State Department during the George W. Bush administration and was involved in promoting regime change in Iran through the Iran Syria Policy and Operations Group. In 2009, she co-founded Keep America Safe, a nonprofit organization focused on national security issues. Cheney was briefly a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Wyoming in 2014 but withdrew before the election. As a member of the Republican Party, she is recognized as a leading ideological neoconservative aligned with the Bush–Cheney tradition, advocating pro-business and hawkish foreign policy views. While critical of the foreign policy of the Trump administration, she generally supported Trump's agenda. Cheney notably supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump after the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and was appointed to the House Select Committee investigating the event, serving as vice chair. Her stance led to her removal from Republican leadership and subsequent censure by the Republican National Committee. In 2022, she lost her bid for renomination in Wyoming's primary to a Trump-endorsed candidate. As of March 2023, Cheney is a professor of practice at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
