Trump is A-OK with all the murder and mayhem Russia has unleashed on Ukraine, and he's making a mockery of all his enablers who claimed he'd do a Reagan-esque kind of deal. Instead, Ukraine wasn't even invited to the "peace" talks, while Trump tries to impose an extortion deal on the Ukrainian people for daring to fight back against the Russian invasion. Plus, the danger to our constitutional system if the main guy in the Oval Office defies a court order, the real live threat to the First Amendment from the White House's lockout of the Associated Press, and the origin story of Trump's obsession with Greenland.  Susan Glasser joins Tim Miller. show notes Susan's latest New Yorker column Tim's new Gen Z politics show, "FYPod" The "Bulwark Takes" feed on Apple podcasts The NYT story on the Panama hotel that Susan mentioned Larry Diamond's piece in Persuasion

What new projects is Tim Miller working on?

0.154 - 19.319 Tim Miller

Hey y'all, we've got a couple new things I want to point you to. First up, today, Tuesday, I am starting a new pod called FYPod that is focused on Gen Z issues. I'm doing it with my buddy Cameron Kasky. He was the kid that started March for Our Lives after the Parkland shooting. We are going to bring on a wide array...

of Gen Z influencers and activists and people, anxious kids with takes, to talk particularly about what's happening with young men, but what's happening politically with Gen Z. The reason why I'm doing this, because I don't know if you noticed, I got a lot on my plate. I'm promising you that this is the last one. I'm not adding any other pods this year.

But for 2025, I thought one area where I could potentially add some value both to my own growth, but also to the discourse, quote unquote, was by talking to and about these young men and also listening to them. Because, you know, we saw this happening, right? It's not as if we were totally blindsided by the move towards Trump among younger men.

But I think the degree to which it happened was incredible. I think pretty shocking to everybody. And, you know, as a millennial who has a seven-year-old, like I don't have a ton of Gen Zs in my life, right? I don't have a ton of Zoomers in my life. I thought it'd be valuable for me over the course of this year to both go into other platforms that are more populated by 20-somethings than this one.

So we appreciate people of all ages listening to this podcast. But also by hosting some 20-somethings on the platform that we've created here. So I'm pumped that Cameron's going to do it with me. He's so funny. And he has a huge network from his time at March for Our Lives. So we're going to bring in a bunch of different people. It won't just be young guys. It'll also be some young women.

112.787 - 135.928 Tim Miller

But we'll be focused particularly on the challenges facing young men. I think it'll be a fun pod. please go subscribe to it. There's a link in the show notes. Again, it's called FY pod or for you pod. It's a play on the for you page on, on Tik TOK and on other social media accounts where, where you're getting fed news by the algorithm. We're going to feed people some news via our mental algorithm.

136.548 - 150.693 Tim Miller

And we take the first episode with a guy named Dylan Geick. He's famous. If you're like 23, apparently I'd never heard of him, but he's so charming. It was a fun episode. Check it out. If you have Zoomers in your life that you think might like it, send it to them.

151.113 - 170.186 Tim Miller

If you're a parent of a Zoomer and you think it might give you some insight into what's happening with your kids, you should listen to it or anybody else in between. So I hope you enjoy For You Pod. One other thing. As I've mentioned several times, we are popping on YouTube over the course of the day with breaking news, shorter takes.

170.606 - 190.909 Tim Miller

You know, something's happening that is outside of the podcast cycle. Either me or Sam Stein or sometimes Sarah and JBL, Will Salatin, others are jumping on YouTube for shorter video reactions to what's happening in the news. We've heard from people that some of you who are just like podcast only, who don't use YouTube, don't want to miss what we're doing over there.
