Mike Johnson and Russ Vought outright lied on camera about the proposed Medicaid cuts and the impact they would have on millions of Americans. Marco Rubio lied about the children who are dying because of USAID cuts. And Joni Ernst is reimagining Christianity to be about Jesus teaching his followers not to care about the sick and the poor because they're going to die anyway. And through it all, Peter Thiel is doing everything in his power not to die—or even age. But one saving grace is that Ukraine kicked some Russian ass this weekend. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.

Hallo und willkommen zu The Bulwark Podcast. Ich bin euer Host Tim Miller. Es ist schon Juni 2nd. Es ist Sommer 2025 und Juni ist der Tag, an dem du Faschismus verbringst und es ist Montag. Und deshalb bin ich hier, wie immer, mit Bill Crystal. Wie geht es dir, Bill? Gut, Tim. Wie geht es dir? Ich bin ziemlich gut. Wir hatten eine wundervolle Woche von Events.
Es war toll, alle letzte Woche in Nashville und Chicago zu sehen. Ich war ein bisschen müde, aber ich hatte gestern einen Tag des Rests. Und so ist das Leben gut. Und wir haben einige gute Nachrichten zu fangen. Russland hat gestern das, was Russland's Pearl Harbor heißt, erlebt. Ein kleiner Brief, was passiert ist, wenn Leute es verpasst haben.
Die Ukraine hat einen unvorhergesehenen Drohnenstrahl tief in Russland gestartet, der Dutzende, A change in momentum, if you will, and what has happened there. I don't know what your reaction was and what you're hearing from folks.
I mean, I was excited and pleased and awfully impressed by the military capabilities of the Ukrainians, but also not just military, but kind of intelligence and covert. A lot of this was, I guess this was a year and a half long planned operation, getting the truck into place and all that coordination of it. It's really something Impressive and heartening.
And, you know, generally, I was saying this to someone just over the weekend here in New York. I mean, I'm very worried about Ukraine. I wish we had an administration that supported it. Obviously, it's terrible and it's a disgrace that Trump isn't doing so.
In the end, if you had told me on January 20th what it looked as if, you know, Trump was just going to go all in for Putin and the Europeans might not step up and there might be an actual kind of almost catastrophe on the front in Ukraine. If you told me that we would be where we are now, here on, what is it, June 2nd, I would be a little surprised. I mean, pleasantly surprised, right?
