Description

Sarah was out last week, and felt she had to bring you some timely focus group reactions to the War in Iran. We also check in on their feelings about the Trump administration (especially their handling of the Epstein Files), and talk about a growing strain of conspiracy theorizing tied to Israel (Jeffrey Epstein and Charlie Kirk are BOTH involved!) Finally, we’ve recently seen members of the Bulwark community pop up in the wild in our focus groups. Hear what drew THEM to The Bulwark. Sarah and Bill Kristol sift through it all. Pre-order Sarah’s book, How to Eat an Elephant, coming in September: https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/how-to-eat-an-elephant-9781250464170/ Become a Bulwark Youtube Plus Member here - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG4Hp1KbGw4e02N7FpPXDgQ/join

If you don't tell the public what your objective is, then no one can ever accuse you of not meeting your objective.

The fact that that one guy equated the Israeli war to Biden is completely insane and out of touch with reality. Unhinged.

Every time i hear citizens give reasons for voting for a felon, i get ill to my stomach. How childish, or inane, or absolutely arse-backwards the reasons!

Trump knows that he can tell his followers that bulls**t is ice cream and they'll just ask for a spoon.

When there is no truth, there is literally no way to refute conspiracies
