Sam Stein and Adrian Carrasquillo: We Are in a Simulation

23 Jan 2025

Description

Emotionally-stunted video game boys, who are also government contractors and/or quasi government officials, are fighting on Twitter, a POTUS who went all the way to SCOTUS to get immunity for presidents now would like the last president investigated, and America's premiere scientific research institution, the NIH, can't tell us about the bird flu—a widespread and potentially deadly virus that could mutate into a human pandemic. Meanwhile, the assault on immigration has stepped up, with raids now permitted at churches and schools. And DHS is targeting anyone who can be deported, regardless of whether or not they're a security threat.  Adrian Carrasquillo and Sam Stein join Tim Miller. show notes https://x.com/arelisrhdz/status/1881397640849678362

Hello and welcome to the Bulwark Podcast. I'm your host Tim Miller. Today we have a two-part episode that wades into the splash radius from Monday's Executive Order Bukanki covering DEI, NIH, hiring freezes, and immigration. And first up, the right man for that job, it's Managing Editor at the Bulwark. You may have seen our two-man comedy routine on YouTube.

39.398 - 50.606 Tim Miller

We hit it yesterday when we were bickering. It was not a compliment to call you my husband. It means that there's a love and bicker relationship that we are building.

51.427 - 52.588 Sam Stein

I feel touched. Good.

53.529 - 56.471 Tim Miller

Not touched like Mike Johnson.

56.491 - 58.753 Sam Stein

Not physically touched, emotionally touched. Yeah.

59.346 - 75.897 Tim Miller

Well, we have a lot of pressure today because I'm here at 30 Rock in the Hotel California that I can never leave since I can't go home to snowy New Orleans until they figure out how to de-ice the runway. We have Bryant Gumbel and Jane Pauly sitting over my shoulder here. And so they will be keeping an eye out for us.

75.977 - 77.978 Unknown Speaker

That's like us. They're like us.
