Summary
Biden and Merrick Garland thought Trump would just go away, but malignant narcissists must be made to leave. And with Congress not fulfilling its constitutional obligation to hold Trump accountable for running the country like a mob boss, newly minted congressional candidate George hopes to join those Democrats on the Hill who aren't afraid to investigate—and impeach—the president and his miscreants. Meanwhile, Trump is rambling about postponing the midterms as he orders the military to commit piracy at sea.
George Conway joins Tim Miller to discuss his congressional race, his return to New York, Yimbyism, and Mamdani.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, it's Tim. I wanted to talk briefly about this brutal execution in Minneapolis, |
| 0:08.5 | where an ice officer shot a woman in her car who was protesting an ice operation in Minneapolis. |
| 0:16.8 | This happened after we had taped the pod with George. I just wanted to get you my thoughts on it really |
| 0:21.0 | quick. This is something that was inevitable. We all knew that a tragedy like this was going to happen |
| 0:27.3 | when you send masked armed thugs into communities, into neighborhoods to menace people, to |
| 0:34.6 | escalate tensions, to grab people that are not violent criminals, to grab people |
| 0:41.5 | that are citizens, to confront protesters. |
| 0:45.3 | Eventually, there was going to be a tragedy. |
| 0:48.0 | I think in a lot of ways, I was surprised that it wasn't worse in 2025. |
| 0:56.7 | It's a tribute to all the protesters who've been out there peacefully speaking their mind that there was not a situation where something escalated into |
| 1:03.9 | violence last year after the Trump administration started sending these ICE and National Guard officials into the streets. |
| 1:14.3 | But unfortunately, that ended today in Minnesota. |
| 1:17.6 | The video is really hard to watch. |

| 1:26.3 | We have a couple of ice agents giving contradictory |
| 1:28.8 | directions to a woman who appears to be shouting at them from inside her Honda Pilot. And she's |
| 1:35.9 | backing up and then tries to get away. And she's driving towards one of the agents, but clearly |
| 1:42.0 | turning. And the agent just executes her, |
| 1:46.0 | just shoots her right in the face. |
| 1:47.6 | And then as she turns, shoots her again to the side window, again of her Honda pilot. |
| 1:53.1 | Like it's a 37 year old woman in the suburbs, like driving her SUV, |
