American taxpayers may have flown Donald Trump to the Middle East, but he's not there to negotiate on behalf of our strategic or national interests—he's on the prowl for goodies, and happy to make policy changes in return. Like, the new Syrian president offering a Trump Tower in Damascus: Zap, sanctions on Syria are over. Or the jumbo jet-giving Qataris requesting that Trump go 'easy' on Iran: 'Not a problem, no sirree.' Sorry to all the hawkish Trump voters out there who thought he'd deliver a maximum pressure campaign on Tehran. Plus, Russia's Potemkin peace talks with Ukraine, and another installment from ICE's cold-blooded deportation campaign.

Hello and welcome to the Bulwark Podcast. I'm your host, Tim Miller. I've got a couple announcements and a rant before we get to our guest. On the announcement side, we got something exciting coming June 6th in Washington, D.C. It's Pride weekend. It's World Pride, actually, in D.C.
And alongside my fellow gays, Sarah Longwell and John Lovett, we are going to be hosting a live show, fundraiser and protest event. In support of freeing Andre. Andre is, all of you know, is the makeup artist that our government has disappeared to El Salvador. Robert Garcia was yesterday grilling, he's a congressman from California, was grilling Kristi Noem about whether we have proof of life.
For Andre, whether she, who's gone to visit and done pinup pictures in front of the prisoners, was able to just guarantee that at least we know that these people that we've disappeared with no due process are still living. She refused to do that. in a about as grotesque a way as imaginable, though it's about what you would expect from our Secretary of Homeland Security.
So we want to make sure we're bringing attention to this, making sure that it is not lost, that it's not forgotten. And we want to do it at a moment where there are going to be a lot of people in D.C. So if you are a gay, if you're a D.C. resident, if you're a gay ally and want to come party with us, but also be righteous and
And passionate in our support for those we've wrongfully sent to El Salvador. We'd love to see you June 6th, Washington, D.C. Tickets are going to be on sale maybe tomorrow, maybe Saturday. So check out the Bulwark site. Check out Crooked Sites. And on Monday, I'll make sure to give you guys the details once it is fully live.
Also, for some new listeners who want more of my backstory on being a Republican, I did Hasan Minhaj's show. So we're gonna include a link in the show notes to that today. I told you I've been a pod slot lately. I've been out there in these streets doing podcasts. And Hassan wanted to, you know, kind of give me a little shit about my past. And I can take it. I enjoy that.
And, you know, sometimes I get feedback from people who are new to who don't, you know, the Bullock OGs have heard this a million times. But for newer folks who are interested in my trajectory, go check out that. I appreciate Hassan having me on. Also, we're getting into all foreign policy today.
So if you just want some other political hot takes, me and Sarah and JVL were on one last night on TNL. So you can check out the next level as well. One last thing before we get to our guests on the immigration front. I've been meaning to mention this. I want to see which day I tweeted this. It was Monday, and I haven't been able to get to it on the podcast.
