Full Episode
Hello and welcome to the Bulldog Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. Delighted to be back with my pal, Editor-in-Chief of Lawfare, Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He also writes Doe's Shirt Daily on Substack. It's Ben with us.
Ouch.
No, is that not right?
No, you know, that hurts. First of all, Dog Shirt Daily predates Doge. And, you know, that's like something I would expect Dan Bongino to say to me. And, you know, who I saw on the Amtrak the other day, he was sleeping.
Mouth open or closed?
It was closed. It wasn't a bad sleep, but he is the deputy FBI director sleeping during business hours. If Dan Bongino on his podcast called it Doe's Shirt Daily, I would think, okay. But for Tim Miller to do that, that's like –
He used to be a competitor with me in the Apple Pod ratings, you know, now that he's been promoted, I guess, to deputy FBI director. You have something to aspire to. Yeah, it was nice for me. I moved up one slot and, you know, in the Wes Moore administration, who knows what I could be deputy of.
Do you feel qualified based on hosting the Bulwark podcast to be deputy FBI director?
Boy, you know, I mean, it does prepare you for a lot. You got to have a wide remit. You know, you got to think about that. You got to be up relatively early in the morning. So I also take naps midday. I guess I'd say this. I think I could do a better job than Dan Bongino.
