Hey, everybody. It's Tim Miller from the bulwark from Sam Stein's office. And I am here with our,

what is your job? Publisher, Sarah Longwell. You're the publisher. It's Friday afternoon.

People are very pissed at the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, that little twirp for good reason.

He was over on Fox and Friends talking about the protesters. And I think it's probably better just to listen to him in his own words.

And then we can react, Sarah, unless you have a Mike Johnson hot take. You want to get off first. Now, let's put it in. Let's put it in. Here we go. Here is the Speaker of the House. They have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18th on the National Mall. It's all the pro Hamas wing and the, you know, the Antifa people.

They're all coming out.

And I just, I'm beyond words. I can't believe they're actually doing this. I hate America rally, Sarah. I hate America rally. It's all Hamas and Antifa. I don't know. If it's just me, having just done that interview with George Redis, you know, the American citizen and veteran that got thrown in jail for three days, seems like to me the people that hate America are the people that are menacing the American, the American people and are threatening our free speech rights and threatening the rule of law and not the people that are exercising their protest rights. But that's just me. What do you think about the hate America rally? A few things. Number one,

let's pray for a stricand effect on this, right? Oh, okay, are they mad that people are going to march? It sounds like they're scared that people are going to march. They want to get out there and define it before it happens because they're worried the marches are going to be big. There's going to be a big pushback and they don't like it.

So they're trying to define it.

And I hope that by them doing this,

it just raises the salience for people of the fact that this has happened. a big pushback and they don't like it. So they're trying to define it. And I hope that by them doing

this, it just raises the salience for people of the fact that this is happening. There is a No Kings

protest. Yeah, me too. Just one quick on the No Kings protests. You know, I do think there obviously

are people that have been very engaged and wanted to go to those protests and the protests have been real

and you know both of us have attended them and yet i think like in the broader culture right

like just like the energy around sometimes and for a protest really get energy you need to be

really mad about something in particular you know not just like i'm mad about all the things

and and and this sort of thing

maybe maybe spikes people's juices up enough to say fuck you i'm going to attend one of those

so-called hate america rallies and i'm going to wear my fucking american flag pin and i'm going to

bring my sign i don't know i think there's something to that uh i yeah absolutely number one

number two i have attended, like you just said,
