A relief to hear Mr. Malinowski’s knowledge and understanding of this insanity.

Trump will never get tough on Putin. In my opinion there will be no deal. He has his agenda and will stay with it.

Excellent podcast. Regarding the Biden executive order on AI that had bipartisan support, and that Trump has now jettisoned so that the UAE can obtain specialized microchips: is there a chance of introducing legislation to limit the sale of AI components, along the lines of the Biden executive order? It is troubling that sensitive technologies and components can be sold the regimes that likely will share that know-how with China.

Rubio is also the guy who is deporting students for exercising free speech rights. Please stop sane washing him. He is horrible

That was a little deflating but thank you Bill and Tom, interesting nevertheless.

I hope Mr. Malinowski runs again and unseats Thomas Kean Jr.!

The guy in the tank held the cards!

The guy trying to stop him held none.

That must've been very confusing to Sir, if he watched it.

Good to watch, but whoa, we weren't appeasing right-wing dictatorships in Latin America! We were installing and holding up right-wing dictators and training paramilitaries with our money to do their dirty work.

This discussion exemplified how gravitas can entertain just as much as larky laughter and ubiquitous baseball hats; I totally, completely get that there are all sorts of people to whom a podcast must appeal, an important imperative to draw in young potential voters and engage them in ways to which they can ‘relate’, to avoid the dread ‘elitist’ name-calling. What I love about the Bulwark is that it does all of that, and can make serious, intellectual, rational, calm discourse engage at least some of us equally well - a great achievement. This conversation won’t appeal to those who need a lighter, more laughter-filled content, but oh how I do hope that some for whom that is indeed a preference will give this other way of going about things as much time as I am happy to give to the laughter; we can all do both, can’t we? Good on the Bulwark for finding anything at all to laugh at in these dire times. And good on them too for not shying away from seriousness.
