Hello and welcome to the Bullwark podcast. I'm your host Tim Miller. Many of you have been asking, what can I do? What can I do? All right. In segment two, we're going to talk about a tangible thing I think people should be looking at doing to combat Trump's threats to our Democratic Republic.

But up first, former Chief White House correspondent for CNN.

He's now an independent journalist and host of the Jim Acosta show on Substack.

It's Jim Acosta.

How you doing, bro?

Hey, Tim.

Good to see you again.

Good to see you, too.

For our audiences benefit, you know, every once in a a while I like to give them a reprieve.

I'm not playing any clips from last night's presidential address, you know, having to hear the

voice.

It was an interminable at one hour and 40 minutes.

I fell asleep.

I'm just going to be honest.

I fell asleep.

I dozed off before I even made it to the Ukraine section. I am kind of at the view that these things, even when it's not Trump, are basically pointless

in the modern era, and they have very little impact.

So I'm wondering what your assessment is of that, and if there's anything you saw last

night that you think might matter, even on the margins.

Yeah, I did a substack right after the speech was over with Michael Fanon.

And Mike says to me, he's, Jim, I love you, but fuck you for making me watch that.

And I said, that's fair.
