Two powerful Republican congressmen say some of their colleagues are advancing Russian propaganda, but they're still letting Moscow Marjorie run the show. Plus, Biden needs to hammer the GOP on Ukraine, Trump's weird smell, and how the Bush 43 contingent in Texas can help KO Ted Cruz.
Adam is one of the most respectable ex-politicians I know of, and I hope he can become a greater influence outside of government service as he was able to as a member of Congress. Exposing political hypocrisy and power-hunger vs. concern for the health of the USA is so critical right now!
I believe his smell is probably from his diapers. I'm not sure, but I do know that if one does not change their diapers "regularly" the smell can get excruciatingly bad.
Great episode. The Texas “resistance” should follow the advice freely given in the episode.
Having moved from New Orleans to The Woodlands, I wanted both Mr. Miller and Mr. Kinzinger to mention the parts of town where each resides. I hope to stumble across the former congressman at a store sometime.
Mr. Kitzinger, I truly appreciate all you have done in calling out the lies, misinformation and cowardice of the GOP which has come at great personal and professional cost to you and your family. Why, oh why, aren't the Republicans who are leaving using their early dismissal as a platform for calling out Trump? Are they that afraid of their constituents? Or is it simply a strategic manoeuvre - trying to straddle both sides in order to perhaps have a career in government at some later point? It's infuriating.
Dear Tim - you are doing a great job. One friendly reminder. Be careful with your context and tone of voice when you call Trump obese. You can poke at the Orange Bloviator without fat-shaming or implying a moral equivalence between obesity and malignant narcissism. That Trump is obese is not remarkable. What is notable is that he is more obese than he admits, and everyone can see it. He is a liar - about his physical condition as well as his being the second coming. P.S. I think Trump takes Ozempic. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I'd love to see more foreign policy content on this podcast!! Kinzinger's rant made me feel not crazy, which is how I feel around the way-too-many people who think the world can just ride out another Trump presidency. I especially appreciated this part: "I think the choice is weak versus evil..." followed by "...Trump is evil and weak."
Omg I had to is on as I was putzing around the apartment and heard “tomorrow we’ll have one of my favorite people on” and then cue BEYONCÉ - and I was like, “wait…whoa…” and then stumbled through a series of emotional feelings so many feelings mostly excitement then.. ah. It was the outro tune. Please tell me I’m wrong please please please
I’m asking Tim to ask Adam to reach back out to the Biden campaign. Don’t wait for them. Ukraine and Europe are too important. I think of this pro-democracy campaign as a Broadway musical ( or a BBall or football team). All the dancers or players are playing different roles and making different moves. There has to be exquisite choreography and coaching. It shouldn’t/can’t be all on the back of Biden or the Democrats. What day you?
A.K. is my favorite podcast guest.Plus Adam's rants are second only to Tim's.One more thing,I like it whenever Tim runs and audio clip then announces,"All right,I've had enough and I can't listen anymore". I'd be one happy son of a gun if Adam moved to MN. and be my congressman.
For us old folks who haven't stayed up with music, please ID your bumper music along with the links for show notes!
Great pod Tim!
Always a great show when Adam is there.
And hey Tim, include exit song titles in your show notes! If you did, I missed it

Love me some Adam K takes, he is so keep it real for us norms!
What was the bit about how Trump? Is that for real? How would Tim and Adam know? It was funny if it was supposed to be. Even funnier if true.

"My name is *not Ted Cruz*, and I'm running for US Senate for the State of Texas!"
