Hello and welcome to the Bullwark podcast.

I'm your host, Tim Miller.

It is Monday.

We are here with Bill Crystal, as always.

Just wanted to shout out to everybody I saw out at

Jazz Fest this weekend, especially the guy, the couple actually, from Central Illinois,

wearing Tim is always right shirts and this bulwark oasis hat. I received so many pictures from

people that've got selfies with these characters. And so it was great. I also did an interview on the

Allison Minor stage of Young River Eckert. It was nice to see some of you all out there. And so I was

a little distant from the craziness in D.C. for that reason, but I was present with the Bullard

community. Bill, you had to suffer through a Sunday live stream about all this nonsense.

So I might have to carry a heavier load today.

But how you feel?

Yeah, you should do that.

I didn't know you had relatives from Central Illinois.

That's nice.

Did I sit there showing up wearing your shirt?

It would be strange if that was my aunt.

It was strange as it was.

But I appreciated it. And, you know, one more weekend ahead of us.

Unfortunately, we have to start with the nonsense at the White House Correspondence dinner.

Obviously, by this point, people have seen there was, I guess you call him a gunman that had stayed at the hotel the night before that tried to storm the dinner.
