Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast. I'm your host Tim Miller. As we're recording right now, the Pam Bondi confirmation hearings are happening. There'll be much more on that tomorrow. Today we got a Hegseth doubleheader. In segment two is Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona. But first, he was a Republican congressman from Illinois. He served in the Air Force during Iraq and Afghanistan. He's a senior political commentator for CNN, founder of Country First, and he's got a Substack newsletter like everybody else. He's Adam Kinzinger. What's going on, bro?
Adam Kinzinger 0:33
I'll tell you what, man, I am I'm happy to be here. I'm so sad. I'm missing the grilling that Pam Bondi is going to get from the Republican senators. I'm sure they're just going to be going through her statements and and and just tearing them apart, doing their oversight job for America.
Tim Miller 0:51
Do you think Tim Sheehy will ask her how many push-ups she can do? Or is that just, is that only a question for dudes? I think it's just for dudes, but they'll ask her. How many push-ups can you do actually? Now we're right here. How many push-ups can you do these days? I don't know, man.
Adam Kinzinger 1:02
Like I think without stopping. So we used to do, we do the PT test in the air force, which I'm out now, but I could probably get up to, I think like 60 something before I was like toast. Right.

Adam Kinzinger 1:16
what what'd you think about eggs it's 47 five five rounds of 47 you think that's that's happening that was his claim he's one of those dudes that like you see when you're scrolling through instagram and he's like uh here's what amino acids i'm 50 but you know i look like i'm 12 and my wife was just born six minutes ago and i do amino acids that's him you know those people like and they're you And you're like, listen, it's good to be in shape. I try to be in shape as a 46-year-old man. When you're obsessed with how you look at 50-something, something is missing in your life. Something.
Tim Miller 1:53
Something else missing. Okay. My husband usually looks at those kind of guys. I'm not into the muscle men, but I do know who you're talking about. All right. We're going to do a lot of Hegseth. We're going to go deep on Hegseth. We kind of already did a palate cleanser with the amino acids, but I just think given how horrific the world is right now, we need two palate cleansers. So let's take a listen to a little exchange on the house floor that I don't know if you caught yesterday.
Jasmine Crockett 2:16

Cash is outside, says Nancy Mace. She is not a child. She's breaking glass ceilings everywhere she goes. What do you think? That was Jasmine Crockett and Nancy Mace, if you missed that.
Adam Kinzinger 2:59
I got something to say about Nancy Mace, especially. Okay. First off, she shouldn't have called her child. Okay. Let's say that. Like she shouldn't have.
Tim Miller 3:06
I just think that's kind of like a manner. So it's kind of like how I say man, you know, kind of like, I was like, Hey man, what's up? And then some people, some people are like, I'm not a man. Don't call me man. You know, I think, I think it was just cultural, but okay, go ahead.
Adam Kinzinger 3:19
