  • Bill Kristol: The Preposterous and Ridiculous Lies About the FBI

    Bill Kristol: The Preposterous and Ridiculous Lies About the FBI
    Jan 6 2025
    Kash Patel's Jan 6 lie requires FBI officials to have been able to see into the future: to *know* that Trump would lose in 2020 and then try to get Congress to reverse the election results. And they also would have to have known they could get thousands of people to attack the Capitol—just to make MAGA look bad. Are GOP senators really going to clear this conspiracy theorist extraordinaire to run the bureau? Plus, the martyrology around Jan 6 and the mass exodus of journalists from The Washington Post. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.

    Jonathan Martin: A Resilient City
    Jan 3 2025
    New Orleans is the most special city in America, but it's a place that also breaks your heart. Local leaders will have to reassure the world that the French Quarter is safe. Plus, Mike Johnson is bound up in a Gordian Knot, and Democrats are petrified of the wrath of leading progressive interest groups in DC— it's like the Dem Party's version of Trump's Twitter ire.

    Jonathan Martin joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

  • David Frum: Sociopaths and Political Tribalism

    David Frum: Sociopaths and Political Tribalism
    Jan 2 2025
    Apart from the death and carnage on New Years Day in New Orleans, Americans revealed another darkness once again: an eagerness to pin violence on someone who doesn't share their political world view. Meanwhile, Republicans rushed to attack the FBI as a way to justify confirming Kash Patel. Plus, Trump has tossed populism aside as he preps to be openly oligarchical, and the real threats TV journalists face.

    David Frum joins Tim Miller.
