Hello and welcome to the Bullock podcast I'm your host Tim Miller. I'm delighted as always to be here with my fave staff writer at the Atlantic

author of 10 books most recently Trump apocalypse and Trumpocracy I wonder what you

think about Donald Trump it's's David From. Hey there.

Canadian David From, it's been a rough little bit for Canadians here.

You know, Drake is losing his rap battle with Kendrick, you know, basketball son, Jamal Murray choked in game seven of the

the NBA playoffs. I don't know, how's the vibe up in Canada these days? I know you're not there right now,

but you hear from Canadians. So I am only hazily aware of the world of sports and popular entertainment.

In my high school career I did quiz shows and so long as the topics were like

name obscure English monarchs I you know and then they

would switch to name some things that are on TV and it would be like I'd be zero for eight so

that sounds about it we're bringing a nice balance your job is to reference a couple of obscure monarchs

over the course of the podcast,

and I'll slip in some Drake mentions.

When we were last together,

you did say that one way you were paying tribute to Miranda

was by unleashing opinions and thoughts you might have

kept to yourself before and I've been monitoring your commentary and I will say you're

living up to that in spades and so I hope we can do that here today. We have a little Twitter disagreement.

Maybe a disagreement.

We're about to find out.

And if you'll indulge me, I just need to reread for listeners

who do not suffer Twitter a paragraph from the Washington Post that I sent out.
