  • S2 Ep1014: Adam Kinzinger: Mortal Damage to the American Empire

    S2 Ep1014: Adam Kinzinger: Mortal Damage to the American Empire
    Apr 4 2025
    It's been great to live in America since World War II, but Trump is in the process of blowing up that whole order. Even Canada is looking to lead a new alliance, because how can other countries trust us after voters put the stupidest convicted American back in charge? And never forget that Russia is not on the tariff list—despite the fact that the US does more trade with Russia than a number of other countries on the list. Meanwhile, Trump opted to head to a golf tournament instead of attending the dignified return of the four dead servicemen who were killed in Lithuania. Plus, 9/11 truther Laura Loomer is running the National Security Council and we're still bombing the Houthis.

    Adam Kinzinger joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

    S2 Ep1012: Mallory McMorrow and Tracy Alloway: A Self-Inflicted Crisis
    Apr 3 2025
    The market plunge is just pure Trump chaos, and perfectly matches his record as a businessman. From his numerous bankruptcies and many failures—including his airline, his casinos, his university, his water, and his steaks—he's been running one long con. And the supposedly smart people who should have known better put him back in power, somehow thinking he would never do something like destroy global trade. Meanwhile, in Michigan, where there have already been job losses directly caused by Trump's tariff war, State Senator Mallory McMorrow announced she's running for the U.S. Senate—saying she's had enough of the leadership and the bullshit in DC.

    Bloomberg's Tracy Alloway and Mallory McMorrow join Tim Miller.

    S2 Ep1012: Sam Stein: Elon Is Toxic
    Apr 2 2025
    Musk was so high on his own supply that he thought he and his money were magic—but Wisconsin voters turned out in droves to prove to him just how toxic his brand and DOGE are. Meanwhile, the Dem base is looking highly engaged as they keep showing up for special elections in numbers Republicans used to deliver in off-cycle races.
    Plus, Cory Booker's epic filibuster, Mike Johnson gets owned by moms, and China will fill all the vacuums Trump is creating in science, foreign aid, and trade. Sam Stein joins Tim Miller.

Tim never fails!

Tim is outstandingly quick Twitter and amusing while possessing an extra sense for what maybe going on out there...great guests with which Tim continually demonstrates a genuine report - even when opinions don't exactly align. Amazing that he puts out top shelf product on a daily basis...obviously, he never stops listening, thinking, asking, etc. ...strongly opinionated with facts to back him!

Reasoned Witness Perspective

This interview was so helpful in putting the listener in that kibbutz on the day of the attack. Mona barely had to ask questions because the storyteller was a fellow journalist. I benefited from his reasoned explanations of the now and the potential future for the government and the region.

Excellent political podcast

I would consider myself somewhere inside the shrinking center-left bubble of our vastly expanding political spectrum, likely more in line with the Pod Save/Crooked Media crowd on most issues. But hell if Tim and the Bulwark boys(and girls, love A.B. and Sarah) don't always provide some intelligent and nuanced insight on the current political climate with occasional doses of sarcasm and mockery. Tim might have failed in Washington, but he's got a daily listener in me going forward, whatever that's worth! ;)

The podcast that got me to like Podcasts

Political discussion in GOOD FAITH.

I may not always agree with Charlie, but his sincere discussion on all of the day's latest topics help me stay up to date with the latest news and bring a logical and rational perspective to all of it. His perspectives along with many of his guests bring a point of view that tries to take a step back and look at the overall picture and how current events compare and contrast with history and the basic principles of democracy. Highly recommended.
