Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. It is our first episode of 2025. And so I'm delighted to be here with favorite of the pod, staff writer at The Atlantic, author of 10 books, most recently Trumpocalypse. It's David Frum. How are you doing, David? All right. Thank you.

00:00 - 00:00 David Frum

Although I think we have to take, since you're in New Orleans, a moment of horrified silence for this terrible incident. More details are known, but just the carnage just looks horrifying. And what a terrible thing for your city.

00:00 - 00:00 Tim Miller

It is horrible. And it's a sad wintering in the new year. And we had 15 are dead here and many more injured. So TBD on a final count there. The perpetrator was driving a truck with an ISIS flag and turned onto Bourbon Street off of Canal Road. They're usually bollards there to protect against us, but they were replacing them for the Super Bowl.
