Summary

Boos at a Republican town hall in Fulton County, and boos at the White House: We're beginning to see signs of people refusing to be ruled by unelected billionaires, oligarchs and CEOs. This may be the time for Democrats with some heterodox views to run for office. Meanwhile, the supposedly free speech president and his shadow are trying to intimidate people from criticizing them—including a member of Congress and one of Elon's baby mamas. Plus, Trump's advisers seem more worried about Zelensky saying mean things about him than the fact that he wants to hand the spoils to the losing side of the war. 

Rep. Adam Kinzinger joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Patriot, one of our faves, formerly a Republican congressman from Illinois, served in the Air Force.

0:27.2

He's the founder of country first. He writes a substack newsletter, and I guess he does substack

0:30.7

videos now. Substack multi-platform content producer. It's Adam Kinsinger. How you doing, bro?

0:35.9

Good, buddy. You know, and it's weird,

0:42.8

because I, uh, I've never rooted against America. But, uh, last night, I mean, I'll be honest,

0:48.1

it was part of me that's like, eh, it'd be nice to see Trump have to eat his words a little bit.

0:54.9

Yeah, the guy in the MAGA hat right behind the bench, they kept showing was impacting my rooting interests. I'm not going to say who I was rooting for, Canada. But, you know, it definitely was nice for the Canadians. The gal, and no offense

1:01.8

to our friends up north, but I don't give a rat's backside about hockey. So it's not like,

1:06.6

if this was American football and we were against Canada, but, you know. Yeah, no, me neither.

1:11.5

They did change the Canadian National Anthem to take a dig at Trump about how this is their country,

1:16.0

which I liked. So anyway, I like the digs. I like the digs. It's good. All right. We've got much,

1:20.3

much to discuss. Too much, probably. But you did a substack yesterday, an emergency substack. I want to start there. The message of it was basically,

1:29.6

let's get loud, let's start to do something. This is a moment for a Democratic Tea Party of
