Hello and welcome to the Bullard

Podcast I'm your host Tim Miller.

I'm delighted to be here with my old friend Amanda Carpenter, writer and editor at

Protect Democracy. She's co-author of the authoritarian playbook for 2025 and

we are together in my new little Tiki hut studio

set up here in New Orleans.

We're not together.

I'm here.

She's on Zoom.

What's going on Amanda?

Yeah, hey, I like the new set up.

So what does the New Orleans style drink that gets served in the

tiki hut after the Friday video pod is done?

Mm probably a hand grenade or probably a daqary a banana daachary, a banana dachary, I think.

Oh, I love a frozen banana dach.

We'll be maybe having one this afternoon.

I don't really drink dacharies, but I think it was on the strategic, which I visit way too many times a day.

They had a thing about the Ninja Slushy machine.

It does cost $250 but apparently it makes perfect slushies,

which I like to do my power raid mixes

and things like that, but it is obviously for alcoholic drinks,

but it is highly reviewed and it might be on my birthday present list.
