Why is Trump considered anti-American in this context?
Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. It is becoming a Mardi Gras tradition. I'm here today on this Mardi Gras morning with the raging Cajun himself, James Carville, former veteran Democratic strategist, co-host of the Politics War Room podcast. He's also a competitor in the YouTube space. You've had some YouTube videos going mega viral lately, man. How are you doing? Happy Carnival.
What is the significance of the Mardi Gras discussion?
Well, thank you. Of course, you know, we love Carnival down here. One of the things that cracks me up is people think it's a tourist event. Where Tim Miller and James Carville go to Carnival, this is 98 percent of the people are within a three hour radius of New Orleans. You know, it's the most organic local thing that exists.
I got to tell you, there were things I didn't even know about until I moved here as a transplant. There are whole parades and some of my favorite events are things that nobody even knows about. You can DM me if you want to know the secret for next year. There's politics in the way of Kind of good fun, good spirited teasing of politicians that you have during carnival season. There's not a ton of politics, which is nice. It's a nice reason to be down here. One thing that accidentally overlapped into politics last night, the Orpheus Parade, one of my favorites. I was there with my daughter until way too late last night. Beautiful floats. Harry Connick Jr. started it. Bianca Del Rio from Drag Race was the queen of the parade. But they also had Cybertrucks.
And every time one of those things came by, those guys were getting pelted with beads. Oh, wow. I felt so bad for the Cybertruck guys. They were getting booed and pelted with beads. So I don't know that Elon's popularity was too high down at home.
I didn't realize that. I saw it. I just love Harry Conner Jr. And that parade is so good. I'm so naive. I thought RuPaul's Drag Race was actually about drag racing. You know, two guys riding up in a car. And my kids, my two daughters love drag. I mean, they go, they know. I went on some big drag person had a podcast. I could have been on, I don't know, Taylor Swift's podcast, and there would not have been any more than Froush. But it was fun. It was great. And that's what you love about Mardi Gras.
It was wonderful. We had a good time. All right, we got to do a little politicking. You've been pushing in some of your interviews recently the idea that Trump will collapse. And for some people, it's like, okay, this is resistance nonsense. This is spin. This is bullshit. But here we are, just a few days after you're saying it, this morning as we tape, the market is down.
