Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast I'm your host Tim Miller. It's Tuesday June 25th. I'm still in my parents' basement. Things are going

great this summer. The TSA made a big announcement. It screened 2.99 million airline passengers

on Sunday, a record record the highest ever number.

It's American Carnage out there I guess. People are going on so many vacations

and I'm delighted to be here today.

Simone Sanders Townsend, she's back. She's a co-host of MS NBC's The Weekend, former senior advisor to

Biden's 2020 campaign and chief spokesperson for VP Kamla Harris. What's going

on girl? Greetings and salutations. I do know why all these people are flying.

You gotta you gotta find the joy wherever you can. Tim you gotta laugh to keep from crying nowadays.

Yeah exactly. I don't know. The airport is packed. The lounges, I don't know if you're a lounge, a lounge.

Okay, the lounges are so packed that like you can't even get a day pass anymore. You can't even get a seat.

What is going on?

Yeah, the lounges are more packed than McDonald's.

That's not a luxury experience in the lounge and that's fine.

I'm a man of the people, but it's just, it's not a sign that we're living in a third world country like the former president wants to say.

I want to get to the debate stuff obviously, but I want to talk to you first about your interview,

your little three-way interview with Kevin Roberts, the head of Heritage.

Oh yes, of the Heritage Foundation.

Yes.

So he is a spearheading Project 2025.

Dr. Kevin Riles, I know you guys kept calling him Dr. Roberts, is he an actual doctor?

He is a PhD.
