Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast I'm your host Tim Miller. We are going to have the great Ron Brownstein in segment two, but first up,

my buddy Sam Stein, managing editor of the bulwark. We've got a bunch of news, Secret Service

director, Kimberly Cheetos, resigning.

We have the first Kamala actual campaign event

out in the States this afternoon in Milwaukee.

She gave a rousing speech at campaign HQ yesterday.

Beyoncé has given Kamla permission to use freedom as her campaign anthem. So that's a big update and I'm excited to talk about it all with you. What's happening to him?

Oh, nothing man. Kind of a crazy beginning to my time here here I say that each time I'm on but

uh three weeks of just torrential news non-stop is is really remarkable it has been

the wildest and how many days ago was it that there was an assassination attempt?

We've lost a candidate.

Yeah, I've been talking with people about this. they're like, it's kind of crazy that that seems to have become

Yeah, I haven't gotten a satisfactory answer about this, so maybe if a listener has a good memory

I was like, what was it like when Gerald Ford would there was a two assassination attempts in September of 76 and I haven't gotten a satisfactory answer on maybe that's just the nature of human nature that like we just you know we move on my mother always

says like when when it's over it's over and just like maybe that's just life I don't know yeah

we don't dwell in the past you have a piece out that I want to talk about called how the Democrats got their

shit together. I also want to talk about Kamla and J.D. Vance's split screen

yesterday and do some VEP talk. But let's just go backwards a little bit first and and answer that question that was the
