It’s Time
Forget MAGA - the Fascist right is exposed through it’s Fascist leader residing in Fascist Florida calling for violence- call it out. Who am I? I am woke - awake, educated and aware! Who is he? He is a dangerous Fascist leader who will burn it down given the opportunity - don’t give him oxygen - move now
Love this show! Best political analysis of current issues l.
I subscribe to quite a few podcasts, but this is the podcast I listen to first. I might not agree with all of Charlie and Tim’s position, but I respect their intelligence, and TRUTHFULNESS! Charlie asks engaging questions, and really listens to his guests. Tim’s former job as a political consultant and communications director brings an interesting perspective to his analysis of current issues. Miller is fearless- I’m thinking of his Kari lake interview: scary and funny. I now subscribe to several Bulwark related podcasts- I have become a Charlie Sykes and Tim Miller junkie.

Always enjoy Tim and Charlie together. Funny and informative. Nice to hear common sense commentary.
