Gallagher was Ryan for sure tho.
The second one is also what I see when I think about Bam, then losing Dunn, and then estranged. But I also think Bam has found Dani & new friends and is alive today because Dunn is still looking out for him.
And upvote the Millers basement.
Also Tim should always hold a 🎤 when doing hot takes and breaking news.
Even if he’s mid pod and there’s breaking news, pick up the mic.
But this TNL E!News Talk Soup Telenovela vibe isn’t right.
Even tho I love all those things
I don’t understand the brand consistency either. Purple?
Not red eh?
I don’t think Hannah did these.
Or am I going to have to listen to Sarah today talk about why we have to sit down and really hear these voters out.
This was never ever ever about putting the country first. America First was a slogan invented by the Klan as a bullhorn for mobilizing white voters. The fact that the Bulwark continues to gloss over this and defend the need to be America First is why we’re here.
Rarely are there black or non-white women on this pod. It’s like once a month. And don’t start with me, I’ve audited their content and can back it up with stats.
I recognize some of you don’t want “purity tests” but yall, if you aren’t willing to hear people openly discuss that this is, in fact, a white nationalism Presidency while white nationalism disembowels the country at every turn, what else has to happen?
Do we have to see people hanging from trees?
Do we have to see schools segregated (again, worse, more)?
Do we have to see lunch counter protestors covered in mustard?
What do you need to see to grasp that this is all this is about, and nothing more. Anything else is an alibi.
Sarah should be investigating why Trump voters lie about it not being about race, and why so many of her listeners make these excuses too.
I’m not even remotely interested in what the WSJ says about the Bulwark. Is what the market does all we care about here?
Why can’t this be an ongoing and major topic here? Why is it that. Hard.
(And pls don’t list the twelve episodes Tims done on race, I’m a listener from the Charlie days, I’m not asking if they’ve EVER talked about it, so don’t).
I rarely compliment Sarah here bc she frustrates the hell out of me. However, we need SO MUCH MORE CULTURAL LITERACY done between generations.
We need young’s explaining things to olds.
We need GenX explaining things to teenagers.
We need Millennials explaining things to boomers.
We need boomers explaining things to millennials.
We need moms talking feminists.
We need young guys talking to old dads.
We need teenagers talking to grandparents.
We need grandparents talking to parents.
Keep going Sarah, and if you need a vol mom to sit down with the young ones I volunteer as tribute. It’s all I do at the skate park anyway.
EXCELLENT content. Keep it coming.
Also I’ve said Tim was Kurt Loder for 2 years now.
Let’s make it a game shall we?
Bam Margera on the Nine Club.
Who on the Bulwark could ever:
a) go on this show or b) interview Bam for 2 hours c) listen to him as intently, and have as much natural fun, as you do James Carville when it comes to culture, the law, freedom, tech, money and family.
“I’m like Peter Pan with a credit card.”
Who knows every capital of every country in the entire world.
I have no idea what they’re saying when they talk skate. But god is it nice to listen to men talk about anything other than why everyone other than them sucks.
Can we get a Winnable Audience tag?
Let’s do an experiment.
In that ONE line, what do you see / hear?
Readyyyyyyyyyyyy GO.
What’s with the constant use of Club.
Country club
Golf club
700 club
National Socialist Club (Neo-Nazis)
Club America
Now Active Club. The fastest growing white nationalist group in the country and they market themselves by offering selective disaster relief and MMA training.
I’m more of a Cajun Navy girl myself. Interesting that Bari “allowed” this segment. It’s extra fun because the leaders last name is Rundo, which is Italian. But sure my dude, tell yourself you’re the same.
I’ll get nailed with accusations of woke purity tests. But as a quick audit, I wanted to nail down a few “acceptable” purity tests that the editors of the Bulwark and their audiences (it seems) are comfortable with.
FWIW I have been a listener for 5-6 years and have been a huge supporter (and former subscriber) so please don’t assume I’m some purity test woke lib wine mom.
I’m a top 25 college graduate business & gun owning parent of two boys married to a non college but highly skilled / non union tradesman. I prefer gummies to wine, and potlucks to fundraising galas. I bought a rifle for my husband while I was 6 mo pregnant and have run a biz for a decade (in real estate & strategy fwiw, not a hobby).
Nevertheless, asking this isn’t about creating arbitrary semantic jargon wars. It’s curious (if not troubling) to me that apparently certain things are facts and not semantic, while certain pretty fundamental things aren’t. And it’s curious to me why those things, the ones that are the scary “progressive purity tests” that aren’t mostly relate to non white folks. It feels like some of the purity tests people hate are ones any libertarian or small C conservative should be for. Wild.
The following is an appraisal of non-debatables the Bulwark has made, either stated or implied:
But here we are in 2026, and we’re not allowed to call deeply red states removing the tiny single Black majority districts & house seats Jim Crow 2.0 or blatant White Supremacy or Neo-Confederate behavior. We are talking about it like mere “voter suppression” with no deeply systemic root cause or origin point.
There are real, spoken, and in motion efforts to undermine key Voting Rights via Birthright Citizenship, the 14th, 15 and 19th Amendments and the ADA (fact check me and google the Section 504 lawsuit).
So is the Bulwarks main conceit that the U.S. was founded as a truly equal country that DIDNT have a supremacist system built into it that it had to fix?
Are they really going to say the only Big Lie was Jan6 and not the Lost Cause?
Bc if that’s true then the Bulwark supports the overturning of Voting Rights, the 14,15, and 19th Amendment & ADA going away and is fine with whoever creative the White House wants to be on Birthright Citizenship bc apparently it’s constitutional.
As if that stops MAGA. This guy’s trying to be Robert E Lee and Huey Long with a dash of Jimmy Swaggart & Billy Graham and we’re still treating him like some mutant from another planet. Really?
I truly am not here to troll. Or be hyperbolic or semantic. I’m asking what counts as facts and using deductive logic to ask serious questions about what’s real for the editors of this platform and their audiences who have a very acute allergy about some pretty serious shit.
Do we want race and culture to perpetually dominate every conversation? No. But how are we supposed to beat MAGA when we can’t even agree on the machine it’s built to be….or the gas reserve it has in White Nationalism, Supremacy and Power. MAGA is a machine built to go after disengaged / lapsed voters, and his bet is that if you feed them more White Power they’ll get over being screwed over. Is that truly still unclear?
A few questions:
Did we fight the Civil War over slavery?* Was Jim Crow real? And a negative thing?* Were our founders White Supremacists?* Were they White Nationalists?*
Why aren’t these questions worth exploring? Why is it ok to say “Jan6 was a Coup” but saying these red states are pulling Confederate / KKK / White Power shit so alarming, “progressive” and woke?
It should be conservatives calling it Confederate & White Supremacy most of all given their historic roots. But instead if it’s even uttered here it’s treated like a turd in the orange wine.
It strikes me as really odd, slightly pathetic, and it should be easy to say what this so clearly is for people here. But the second it’s mentioned, you’re labeled and disregarded as some annoying academic control freak. It’s pretty snowflake behavior.

Thought her first one could / should be rephrased.
Watched Tim on Hayes and Katy Tur. They did this thing where they contextualized the SCOTUS Voting Rights decision and efforts to gerrymander by republicans as disenfranchising “lots” of voters.
One mention of Black, otherwise generic commentary about how this is unfair to voters, not minorities, not Black folks.
Perhaps this is done to get people’s attention so that they care? But are we really going to sit here and analyze what’s happening as simple “voter” disenfranchisement or are we going to call it race-based manipulation of the election and representation?
He calls these clips on MSNow “rants”. If these are rants then we’re in two very different places of alarm. These were at best, at BEST, tepid mischaracterizarions.
Refuses to call it what it is:
White Supremacy The Klan White Nationalism Bigotry-Based Governing White Power
They aren’t merely gerrymandering to dilute voters. It is a consistent, strategic, and willful decision to prioritize white people and white voters ABOVE others.
Does the Bulwark care about the comfort of their listeners or do they care about reporting on the truth.
Is it really that hard for people here to hear that this is what it is? Do you really think this is just abt “voters” in general?
A few tiny ancillary mentions of the race “part” aren’t enough. When and what WOULD it look like for people here to really want to engage in a serious discussion and organizing to fight back against neo-Jim Crow, neo-Segregation, neo-Confederate efforts to undermine the will of the American people?
Your country is calling, why do you refuse? Do you realize what denying this really implies? Either people are humans or they’re not. Decide.
My top 10:
Courtney Love

Michael Jordon
John Leguizamo
Eddie Vedder
Bill Marr
Bill Burr
Angela Bassett
My family’s been there 200 years. Might want to contextualize this “racially gerrymandered” district against a few other maps. The goal was to give Black voters ANY VOICE AT ALL in Louisiana.
And I’ll let yall figure out why it’s shaped like a “snake.”
Has a little to do with food, farms, transit, trade, and yes, race.
It’s the Klan. It’s always been the Klan. And it will always be the Klan. It’s not about the price of eggs. It’s about making sure certain folks DONT. EXIST.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
