Welcome to the Bull Work Podcast, I'm Charlie Sykes. It is Friday and we are back with Tim Miller. Tim how have you been?

Charlie it's been too long man you know we have so much to cover

stuff has happened you had COVID in the house you know we missed you that you could have used a

purple drink I promised you yeah in New Orleans you could have used a purple drink so

do it a you know a rain check well you think about it's been like you know a couple of

things have happened we have a new speaker, we have a couple of new wars, we have a new slap fight going on in Congress.

We can talk about all of that. I want you to explain some things to me. I want you to explain Ken Buck to me.

I want to talk about the Nicky Haley surge. I want to talk about you and Steve Schmidt and this whole Dean Phillips campaign. Are you up for that? We can do that.

Yeah, let's do it all. Oh, and Tommy Tuberville? And whether you agree with me or not that

Tommy Tuberville is the Senate's dumbest member, I understand that's a controversial

position. It was interesting watching the other night where finally after nine months the other Republicans called

bullshit on him for holding up all of those promotions for no particular substantive reason and it was not just

the substance it was also the tone they were exasperated and disgusted with the guy and it's like

they've been holding it in right yeah they know how

stupid Tommy Tubberville is but also how reckless and dangerous and demagogic

is and finally it just poured out of them. It reminded me of how pissed the closet

normal House Republicans were at Matt Gates. The same thing happened right during

the McCarthy thing where Garrett Graves from up here in Baton Rouge is off you know

is that I could is an establishment guy that went along with Trump and he's up there going,

Gates is the worst, he's the worst person, he's a grifter.

And it's just like all these guys just have had to push it down for like seven years now right they can't say it about Trump

They can't say it they're really thinking they can we've been seconded down for a very long time now
