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.

Full Episode
Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. Congratulations to our friends in Canada for their overtime hockey victory against the U.S. in the Four Nations face-off last night. And I'm pumped to be here today with a great American patriot, one of our faves, formerly a Republican congressman from Illinois. He served in the Air Force. He's the founder of Country First.
He writes a Substack newsletter, and I guess he does Substack videos now. Substack multi-platform content producer. It's Adam Kinzinger. How you doing, bro?
Good, buddy. You know, and it's weird because I've never rooted against America. But last night, I mean, I'll be honest, there was part of me that's like, it'd be nice to see Trump have to eat his words a little bit.
Yeah, the guy in the MAGA hat right behind the bench that kept showing was impacting my rooting interest. I'm not going to say who I was rooting for, Canada. But, you know, it definitely was nice for the Canadians. The guy...
And no offense to our friends up north, but I don't give a rat's backside about hockey. So it's not like, if this was American football and we were against Canada, but you know.
Yeah, no, me neither. They didn't change the Canadian national anthem to take a dig at Trump about how this is their country, which I liked. So anyway, I like the digs. I like the digs. It's good. All right. We've got much, much to discuss. Too much, probably. But you did a sub stack yesterday, an emergency sub stack. I want to start there. The message of it was basically, Let's get loud.
Let's start to do something. This is a moment for a Democratic Tea Party of sorts. We can quibble over the particulars. But as somebody who was in the Tea Party wave of Congress people, what do you call it for?
Yeah, look, I mean, and this is I got to give you credit because you were talking about this yesterday and just like, you know, hey, we've got to do something. And then you were talking about how the tea party came about. And that got me thinking. And it's like, you know, it's exactly what is happening now.
And here's the key that I want to say on the outset, though, is I don't want this to be, hey, this is a left wing movement. You know, the Tea Party came in and they were trying to pull the country right. This is actually a pro-democracy version of the Tea Party. So you're going to have people from all over the political spectrum here.
