I love all the political topics and am really enjoying all these “takes” episodes coming out throughout the day - I drive a lot and listen all day but don’t make it into YouTube often at all. I do appreciate you bringing these to podcast format! I also really love that Jim brought Shane D on to talk about his life living with ED. What a champion that guy is! I’ve long admired the heart all of the Bulwark hosts have and Jim’s choice to showcase this special guy is no exception. Keep up the great work you guys!!!
Watch the movie

Walks talks and sews

The Apprentice. We are in bigger danger than is acknowledged in 98% of all news/podcasts covering Trump, including most of the Bulwark coverage, sorry to have to say. George Conway and a few outspoken psychologists , some politicians, and abused women understand the best . Watching the movie shows the savage monster he is ( something he said about immigrants), I think shows that HE KNOWS he is a savage monster, who he learned from, and I think that he has already done so much damage his only choice is to only up the ante because he will never admit anything. Only disaster or many disasters will change the trajectory. Good luck to us all.
Enjoy for the most part

Thank you for this podcast. I appreciate it. I admit I turn off the Podcast when Lauren is participating, but that’s just my own personal reaction.
Thank you
