  • Another one

    It’s like old school talk radio in a way, where your attention can kinda fluctuate throughout the show. Not every moment is critical. Amazing that this dude doom and glooms about trump for like an hour and a half a day, what is he gonna do when the term is over?

  • It took me awhile to get here. But I’m a fan.

    Canadian here.

    POD save America turned me on to the Bulwark. I had to listen to a lot of shows to find some I wanted to subscribe to.

    I like Tim Miller a lot. I also like the Takes show.

    So I’m happy to pay for it only because I want to support great independent media. Not because the commercials bothered me.

    Keep doing great work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bill Kristol: Beating Back the Authoritarians
Q: Do you have any thoughts about Elon targeting us?
Bill Kristol says the post should not intimidate The Bulwark and argues that Musk should be accountable for his government dealings and political influence.
Bill Kristol: Beating Back the Authoritarians
Q: Where do you fall on the scale of alarm here with the Alaska shenanigans?
Bill Kristol says the federal lawsuit is likely to fail because the issue was already litigated in Alaska, but warns that efforts to undermine confidence in election outcomes remain concerning.
Jamelle Bouie: The World's Most Influential Racist Is Bankrolling Republicans
Q: Why is Elon Musk's political influence and ideology not being raised with the Republican candidates he supports?
Bouie says Musk is treated by political media as an eccentric inventor rather than a major political donor and former power broker. He argues that candidates benefiting from Musk's support should be asked about his racist rhetoric, far-right activity, and influence on government.
Jamelle Bouie: The World's Most Influential Racist Is Bankrolling Republicans
Q: Why did you call the Trump administration a cargo cult?
Bouie says the administration wants a consolidated authoritarian state but often imitates its outward signs without taking the practical steps needed to make that outcome durable. Its aggressive abuses of power can therefore be both damaging and vulnerable to pushback.
Sarah Matthews and Pablo Torre: The Pedophile Protection Party
Q: What was your big takeaway from it?
Torre said Americans report not wanting athletes and sports commentators brought into politics, but politicians continue to use sports to appear relatable and appeal to voters.
