Yeah even the concept of “MAGA” is in itself a criticism of the country, but holding conflicting beliefs is a prerequisite these days for the Republican cult members
As a Democrat, I have never *not* been patriotic. I resent the implication that I am otherwise. What I am not is performative. But I do appreciate the recent taking back of the concept of patriotism.
Agreed; Dems have been rhetorical and legislative whimps for too long, ceding ground after ground to bullies and thugs speaking in bad faith. As for patriotism-- Yeah I heard it summed up well once: D and R voters both love their country, but D voters love their country the way an adult loves something- with critical care and concern. R-voters love (subjectively/emotively) the country (or rather-- the land...) in the same way that a toddler loves their mommy-- that she is perfect and amazing and everyone she does is wonderful and everything she says is true and anyone who says otherwise is "bad, badman whhahaaaa!" and gets screamed at and a tantrum thrown.
I always say that you don't see a patriot looking at somebody draped in the flag and saying, what a big patriot, they are. You can tell who is a real patriot, by the way, they behave.
Republicans and former republicans seem to think we’ve all been America haters because some far left people 40 years ago were. They just didn’t pay enough attention to see that we are patriotic. Patriotic enough to admit where the country is falling short and want to improve it. This cringe shit with giant flags on the back of your truck that are usually tattered btw, and wearing American flag themed apparel is just performative nonsense
Both great statements, I feel the same. Actually all through my youth and teens and 20s and 30s I refused to wear a flag shirt or hat, or bumper sticker ect. 2022 was the FIRST time I put an American flag sticker on my truck, with a Ukrainian flag on the other side! The day Ukraine was invaded. I understand that war soooo well and America's part in it and when we were supporting them and organizing European nations support....I felt real pride and still do! I understand America's place in the world and it feels so good that for all the crap talking ruzzia does about The US, they are intimidated or even afraid of us....even China doesn't want to make a wrong step! America is a beautiful, excellent country! Including ALL the immigrants maga/gop cry about all the time! Harris/Walz will bring back the pride to many who have lost it in the past years! 💙💪🇺🇲
I don't particularly appreciate when Republicans define Democrats as "finally" pro-America. I'm a lifelong Democrat who has always felt patriotic. That does not stop me from seeing the injustices built into our system and wanting to do something to make this a better country.
I have always said it makes me more patriotic that I see the flaws and want it to be better and still love America than to blindly love something without really looking at it.
Absolutely. Pisses me off royally. Plus to be so ignorant as to paint all of us based on the extreme he became involved with. Shows a lack of perspective. Democrats have always been a big tent. I'm 6 years younger than Medved and I was anti-war (my brother served and was a disabled Vietnam Vet), and he might as well have called us all the Weather Underground. There are people today whose ideology remind me of these folk in their willingness to run the country into the ground (hold the rest of us hostage when we too want the genocide to stop) and will make matters worse for Palestinians in the process.
I agree. i have never understood why seeing those injustices automatically brands one as a radical or liberal or even someone who is remotely anti-American. wouldn't ignoring it be lying about it? and when is lying ever the better choice? isn't that a huge part of why we are in this mess? all the lies? lying is never the answer to good or better. lying doesn't make us stronger. ever. lying is anti-american in my opinion. I say this also as a lifelong democrat.
What scares me about Project 2025, is that if this is what they’re willing to publicly state they want to do, what the hell are their hidden, backroom plans?
The fake conservative Justices seem to be publicly supporting Project 2025 by creating unconstitutional Presidential Immunity. They know a Progressive President won't use immunity, it is just sitting there for a fake Conservative President to do whatever it takes to implement Project 2025 or 2029 or 2033. It seems the public release anticipated the Supreme Court support. What more will the Court be willing to do?
And yet, why would they bother to hide anything? The nastier, the more hateful and extreme, the more Trump/GOP like it! Watch any Trump rally speech, and hear the cheers!
Not a single Democratic administration in Medved's lifetime has been authoritarian and criminal. Every single one of the GOP administrations in his lifetime - save for Eisenhower - were authoritarian and criminal. Where does this nitwit get off saying that the Democrats are finally pro-America? Don't let these charlatans get away with using Trump to whitewash their views and history, and that includes Tim Miller.
It is all about keeping a "credible" distance during the campaign. Once this is over and if Trump wins (a longshot these days) he will implement this. Because Trump is a patsy to the evangelicals.
Utah Mormon here EMPHATICALLY anti-Trump along with my husband and ALL of our children and grandchildren! Trump must be stopped! My husband and I are great fans of The Bulwark. Thanks for all you do....
My take is Donald thought Hawaii was a different country and when he realized it was one of the United States he was too far down the rabbit hole to stop. He made fools out of himself and all his friends.
I am a progressive Latino and yet while I disagree with Michael Medved often, I honor and respect this man - his intellect, his sense of humor, his fairness and his astuteness. He is a conservative in the traditional sense of the word - faith, strong military, localism, etc. Yet, he is courageous amid the MAGA onslaught. You will always have my support Michael.
Oh yes! Well said. I am a Latina, lifelong Democrat, in my 70s, and I really appreciate this program. I am very grateful to have so many interesting Republicans standing with us, against Trump and his horrible offer of chaos, cruelty, and fascism.
Believe it or not, there were some black slave owners back in the day. The mistresses of white men and the mulatto children. Some were benevolent and only bought their families so they wouldnt be owned by someone else, but some actually used their slaves to get ahead economically & were really terrible to them, bc the people the owned were "blacker" than them 😕
@@jessmunguia5283 So you are justifying his ignorance ? While you are technically correct, the incidents of Black slave owners was extremely rare. Even free Blacks, slave owners or not, were subject to being forced into slavery. Clearly, Robinson would not have fallen into the category of a mulatto. Mark and you wrongly presume that he would have somehow been among the small # of free Blacks in the south. My great grandfather was a mulatto, the son of a white Plantation owner in GA, and although his “father” allowed him to live on the land after emancipation , the father and his fellow White former confederate soldiers, denied my great grandfather the rights of US citizenship, including the right to vote.
@sharonmcgahee6327 not at all! You misunderstood. I was just saying it has happened, rarely. I don't support or justify it. Slavery is horrible no matter what color the person is.
This isn't football. We're not picking favorite teams. Not a Republican, not a Democrat. I pick based what's on the best interest of the country. Country over Crazy every time!
I just love how Republicans say government shouldn’t have so much control or say in their lives or businesses and then turn around and say “we’re going to use the government to control your life and businesses.”
Trump was never a conservative, he's hiding behind terminology but he's more of a dictator type of guy and the cult of personality around him goes along with anything he mentions
I am a democrat. My four brothers all served in the military. I am relatively conservative as well as a churchgoer. Family has always been a top priority in my family. I am also proud to be an American. I do get irked when the right thinks they have a lock on all of these qualities.
@@charleswood7677 A “Victoria” might be old enough that her opportunities to serve would have come with brutal misogyny. I’m an Army brat and my sergeant father strongly encouraged me to take other paths. Yes, there have always been women who served, but it has been fantastically harsh in some eras.
@@lynnhoffman247 yup! It’s astounding! When I asked if they had read it they said yes. Trump is not the author! I was like ummmmm yeah right! So basically you didn’t read it. So typical! Thx Lynn! 💙💙💙
He also has as his own a short side of the 2025 project. I was told that this began as a project with Orban . He used this to get his country the. Way he wanted to and showed trump etc. And away it went . They built 2025.
My brother has a significant pre-existing condition, has two daughters, works by the hour and lived two blocks from the train derailment in East Palestine. He has no higher education and is divorced from a woman who left him for no one else. We grew up near the Tijuana border and all of our friends were and still are Mexican or Asian. He's full on MAGA now and is proof that the poorly educated and the angry are easy to manipulate.
Succumbing to "lower" emotions and feelings is always easier than taking the high road and working toward higher ideals. It will always be easier to go downhill than uphill, so the charge we get from anger and hate is much easier to achieve than the satisfaction (albeit more lasting and fulfilling) from nobler causes. Integrity is a choice that requires effort.
I suspect much of MAGA are people who are disappointed in what they've made of their lives and look for others to blame. I do wonder how many of these MAGA guys sat in the back row in class and read comic books rather than learning. MAGA is so much like how Germany turned sour in the 1930s.
WOW. I’m sorry but that’s really sad His mind is mush now and he’s in a cult. Maybe his daughters can have a accident or or an emergency on the day of November 5 and he can’t go vote at all. That should be those girls mission right now is to get their dad not to vote for him.

Don't let these charlatans get away with using Trump to whitewash their views and history, and that includes Tim Miller and Michael Medved. They happily carried water for some evil people in the past. Freaking Medved respects Dick Cheney, that is the depth of his depravity. The people that he respects laid the foundation to make Trump possible.
Just another reason why even if you're not the biggest fan of Harris, it's imperative to vote for Democrats at all levels (President, House, Senate, Governors, local judges) to help prevent Project 2025 from happening anywhere in this country.
It's absolutely crucial to prevent the GOP from holding both the White House and Senate, so they can't replace Thomas and Alito with two 40-year-old extremists who will lock down the right-wing majority for decades.
I have always considered myself a fence-straddling Independent. I voted for GWB twice. The Republicans started to lose me when people like Rush Limbaugh attacked Obama for his middle name and the birther BS. Then Romney said it wasn't his job to worry about 47% of the population. The final straw was the decision in 2016 to nominate tRump. Kasich would have had my vote, but Clinton (reluctantly) got it instead. I won't say I'll never vote for another Republican. I will say that, until the Republican party regains some sanity and equilibrium, I'll only vote blue.
That’s exactly when they lost me too I was an independent after being Republican because my parents were. Found my own voice and now I’m Democrat. If you are a loving person I don’t I think that there is any other way to be but Democrat at this point
@nobodyimportant7804 that's a good point. That stuff bothered me, but not enough to drive me completely away from the Republican party. I tolerated the bigotry but was disgusted by it. I think several things happened in a relatively short period of time that brought me some clarity: a friendship with a very feminist woman who helped me see that feminist really wasn't a bad word; my son's realization that he is LGBTQ; I left the Baptist church; and I embraced my Democratic-Socialist tendencies. Edit: I should probably point out that I was in my teens and early twenties in the 90's .
makes you realize that the only way to gain a great deal of knowledge and have positive impact is to spend as little time online as possible and as much honing your skills(for work) and your mind(through reading and interacting with multiple sources of intellectual thought)
Nikki lost me when she couldn't understand what slavery meant in😮 American history. This from the state that started the Confederacy, South Carolina I still love Beaufort and Charleston 😊😊😮🎉
Exactly! He continued and expanded Nixon's efforts to draw right wing white evangelicals into the gop. He was also complicit in the corrupt and bloody Iran Contra scandal. There is a lot more. He was a bad man with bad policies that hurt our country, but is viewed as a hero by many.
as someone who watched an entire generation of people die from AIDS-i view Reagan as a full-on enemy. And yes, he coined "welfare queen" , he brought the religious right/moral majority into the White House and onto the floor of congress. Every idea around equality/the environment/fairness that Carter had attempted to bring to the country-Reagan obliterated with zeal. De-regulation. All of that has Reagan's name all over it. it bothers me greatly when this is glossed over in a Reagan discussion. bring my dead friends back, please.
Thank you for introducing this guest to me. I probably listened to his show over the years but didn’t know the man behind it. He is an American hero journalist
AOC is someone who is working class, and smarter than the Republican party. She calls out their B.S. with facts, personal stories, grace and charm. So yea, she scares Republicans and Conservatives.
None of the cult apologists should have any place going forward period. Nicki Haley included. How she can look at herself in the mirror or how she justifies her actions to her children & grandchildren will be something to watch.
Thank you for this comment. MAGA and MAGA adjecent people like Haley and Vivek cannot be part of a new Republican party. For goodness sake, character and moral compass matters. These people that are absent good character is the exact reason the Republican party cannibalised itself.
Thank you so much for having Michael Medved on your show! I used to listen to his show all the time when I was younger. I credit him with teaching me a lot about values and politics. I stopped listening when Trump started rising to power and I've always wondered what Michael thought of Trump. I didn't want to tune in because it would have broken my heart to find out he had become a Trumper like so many others. This is the first time I've seen or heard him in years and I'm so happy to learn he is supporting Kamala Harris!
I knew nothing about Michael Medved until this wonderful interview. I don'y live in the state of Washington but I have two adult children that do, liberal like myself. This is a man I can respect, a man whose views I can appreciate, whose mind is his own. Thank you for bringing him to your podcast.
I'd say it's a privilege to be able to ignore the dark parts and focus on the positive. I try and find the positive, but as a trans woman who has been more than once to the reading of the names of all the trans women who'd been killed each year, there's darknesses I can't ignore and places in the US I no longer feel safe.
I am so sorry as a person that thinks everyone should be safe and happy. I know the feeling of being scared but for different reasons . Stalking scared me . Anyways stay strong we will get passed this ,going into acceptance . It will be better. 🙏🙏😹😹😹💙💙💙💜🙃🙃
Same here as a Black woman! I live in the U.S. Metropolitan Northern Midwest & refuse to travel to the Southern U.S. states, for fear of dealing with all the blatant, sometimes violent racism still going on in the ‘Bible Belt’…What an ironic moniker for that region! 💙🩵💙
There's something for (against) everyone in P2025. That alone should make sane people vote Blue. I guess it still needs more discussion. I hope Harris/Walz continue to hammer it - along with channels like this one.
Unless you’re a MAGA Billionaire, Project 2025 has something really ugly just for you. It’s highly particular in how it would harm you. Amazing they got so creative on the specifics.
Good for you, Tim, for AOC, who has been gradually rounding her sharper edges. Her political maturation should be acknowledged and encouraged. Her example can bring the extremes toward the center.
Realistically, it depends on who pumps the most money into Trump's pockets. It may well be that the people who agree with P2025 will also be those most willing to buy Trump.
The heritage foundation has deep pockets and evangelical Christo fascist support. This election is about character and integrity. The contrast between the candidates can't b any more clear. Democracy does not defend itself. The American people will do the right thing in November.
I just want to say I’ve been liberal my whole life but due to this channel and others like it my faith in humanity is being built back up. Voices like yours are a balm. I’m surprised that I look forward more to these centrist Republican opinions than most of the leftist channels out there (Pod Save America is my only option in THAT space) for how measured and sensible you are. Thank you.
I was a MM listener when I was a young Libertarian. Since I've come to my senses, I've been proud to see that MM was one of the early Never Trumpers and has stuck to his principles. History will smile on you.
I have a soft spot for Michael Medved- so many years, I watched him and Jeffrey Lyons on SNEAK PREVIEWS. It's great to have this time with him here. Well done, Tim & team.
When I was a child, my mother had Rush Limbaugh on the radio most days, and Medved's show bumped up against Rush's, so I heard his name a lot. I asked why we never listened to him, and she told me he was too liberal. I'm happy to report that she is not in the orange cult.
I wish this was true. Project 2025 polling is low, yet Trump is still polling high. This simply means many people still don’t associate him with it. Media should focus more on Project 2025 and less on Springfield. There is a reason Trump/Vance are still talking about Springfield knowing it isn’t true.
Outstanding interview. As a Democrat I listened to Mr. Medved for years on a Conservative talk show station here in Az and while I didn't agree with everything he said, he was always thoughtful and extremely well spoken. Its good to see him here with Tim.
Very enlightening. I'm a progressive and I may disagree with many of the hosts on this channel on specific issues. But I have found that something interesting is happening. First and foremost, as I'm getting older I'm going more towards the middle. But also, hearing good faith Republicans talking about stuff and often agreeing with them, it sort of shatters my "them vs us" idea of the world. I think we agree on the most important things and as of now they are in play. Diplomacy, decency, democracy etc. We need all of that to then be able to discuss all the other things. And I have found we agree on more things than I thought. Ths bulwark is doing such an important job and I thank you very much ❤
Armistice Day is a yearly holiday that reminds us not to forget what happened in World War ii. When it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, one must remember Sudetenland that was given up to Hitler and then he just took over the rest of the country. The rest of Czechoslovakia just gave up because they didn't want the Bloodshed that Hitler wanted.
He's right. I've been saying it since little Kev Kev went to FLA in late January 2021 or whenever it was. THE ONLY POWER HE HAS IS THE POWER THEY GIVE HIM, dum lemmings. How unintelligent can a whole swath of people~ CONGRESS PEOPLE AND GOVERNORS, FFS~ be.
I hope I was that random lefty. I have been squawking about the horrors of project 2025 for over a year now. I was always putting it out there in comments. and often saw my comments get deleted. or even if the comment remained-most paid no attention. but then slowly I started to see people hear and there beginning to see what was happening. with it. and then Taraji P. Henson brilliantly put it out there on the BET awards for the community-and suddenly it was trending and everyone was talking about it. it has been amazing to have friends saying to me-"isn't that the thing you have been talking about? it is a big deal, I guess." YES! YES IT IS! I was praying the talk would be this loud and this strong. thank goodness that right now it is. let's see what happens next. thanks for posting. stay well.
Project 2025 is the culmination of years CCC of work from the religious right to gain political power and infiltrate our government enough for a take over! 😮😢
Tim, I'm a 67 yr.old vet. I've lived through several presidential campaigns. Never really listened to Michael's radio stuff, but I have read enough of his stuff ( mostly pre-internet) to know that I've agreed, and disagreed with him over the yes. This interview was insightful, and informative. Love the podcasts, and the Bulwark in general... keep shining the light...
Judge Chutkan Approves Special Counsel's Expanded Evidence Brief in Trump Criminal Case Judge Tanya Chutkan has granted Special Counsel Jack Smith's request to submit a 180-page brief packed with evidence in the criminal case against Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., rejecting Trump’s claims that this move would be politically unfair.- MTN 9/24/2024 … this SHOULD rattle out more reasonable GOP’rs. from supporting Trump.
From 2002- 2014 I listened to The Medved Show every afternoon. Now I listen to Tim Miller every afternoon. I'm glad one of the voices that lead me to conservatism didn't join the MAGA cult.
PROUD Nebraskan democrat here---and PROUD of our Sen. McDonnell who did'nt get 'swept up' by maga's BS. THANK YOU SEN. McDonnell from a fellow Nebraskan.
He doesn't care about credibility in the slightest. Both sides of society know that he is lying about this issue as well. But one of those sides agrees with the project and believes that lying is a valid tool to achieve it.
Even on the left? Come on Tim. Listen to yourself. We democrats have fewer sex scandals, more intact families. LESS HATE toward Americans who are different than them. Mind boggling to hear republican biased view of Democrats.
@@elaineburnett5230True, but we do seem much more willing to hold our own accountable for them, whereas the Republicans seem to engage in protection of those who create scandal.
Listening to how Medved moved from the left to the right, I hear the thinking of many of those on each side. Right: Life is pretty good for me, don't mess it up. Left: We have problems we need to fix. And sometimes the fixes may discomfort the comfortable. Follow the lead of the right and America does not get better. It gets stuck with unsolved problems.
It blows my mind and heart that people who I love in my extended family got theirs (with so much help from others though they believe it was all them) so go get yours. 1 generation removed from immigrants. Yet they fail to realize they live in a society where everyone contributes to the whole. Instead they just whine and complain about how everyone doesn’t work as hard as they do while on their fifth vacation this year and just bought their third lambo. I can’t. The only reason that they are now fiscally conservative is that they don’t want to contribute to living in a society. Socially liberal they say but would hand the country over to a failed bankrupt conman for a few extra dollars in their pocket. They claim I am voting for vibes not policy yet can’t name one policy for their orange tinted man child. Meanwhile I am voting for the future of America. Our democracy. Our society. For lifting the tide and not a few yachts. Go figure.
We need both perspectives because both draw attention to the value of things that are true. Neither perspective needs an American version of fascism, which takes the nation's power out of the votes of the people and puts it in the hands of a criminally-immune leader. By definition we do not tolerate tyranny. We are a self-governing people.
I've always been liberal, and always been pro-America. I had a bumper sticker saying "It's My Flag, Too" and it got keyed during the GWBush admin. Our love of America is clear-eyed and insistent that all of us be included in the foundational vision for this country.
I like Mr Medved's statement that being the chosen one doesn't mean special privileges but that we have special responsibilities . If we all think like that, we could be living in a kinder world!
What a wonderful man! As a lifelong Dem I will forever be grateful for the number of sane, interesting, socially moderate and small d democracy loving Republicans the Bulwark has introduced me to the last few years! Tim Miller, you are amazing! Keep up the good work!
It is truly amazing. Kamala is running an A+ campaign and Trump is running an F campaign. Never has there been such a disparity in campaign performance.
A patriot can love their country AND see its faults. 💯
and must! come on now!
100 % true. I don't like everything that goes on in my household
It's a duty.

I agree. They call themselves the party of law and order and family values. As if they're implying we're all the opposite of that.
I have no respect for Nikki Hailey.
She endorsed trump after telling everyone why not to vote for him.
She lost all credibility, endorsing trump.
She tried to stop the Haley Voters for Harris.
She sold out.
She’s the worst.
I don't understand why she'd support Trump when he said such horrible things!
She's an opportunist and will do anything for power
The Democrats need to continually remind the electorate about Republicans' Project 2025 and how detrimental it is to democracy in the USA.
And, if I may add, detrimental to the majority of Americans.
We can take a piece of Project 25 each week and discuss it with our Republican friends.
Good luck with that. Nobody cares.
@@billcoleman4258Nobody cares what MAGA Putin puppets think.
As somebody who listened to Medved daily on AM870 in the 2000s, it warms my heart that he turned away from Trumpism
Same. Started listening to Medved around 2007 while I was still in High School! Always had my radio set to AM870 and also KLSX FM talk.
What scares me about Project 2025, is that if this is what they’re willing to publicly state they want to do, what the hell are their hidden, backroom plans?
Still most people know nothing about 2025 or even care‼️

And that's what really scary. What parts are they not talking about or letting us know.
Tammany Hall running Washington D.C.
And yet, why would they bother to hide anything? The nastier, the more hateful and extreme, the more Trump/GOP like it! Watch any Trump rally speech, and hear the cheers!
Appreciate Mr Medved for standing against Trump and his minions, we need more to follow that lead.
Not a single Democratic administration in Medved's lifetime has been authoritarian and criminal. Every single one of the GOP administrations in his lifetime - save for Eisenhower - were authoritarian and criminal.
Where does this nitwit get off saying that the Democrats are finally pro-America?
Don't let these charlatans get away with using Trump to whitewash their views and history, and that includes Tim Miller.
Trump being named over 300 times in Project 2025 and them still saying he's not involved is incredible to me. They rely on us being stupid.
We have his number 😂
trump talks freely on the trail, about thigs he will do that are a part of P2025
His supporters won't read it.
LOL. Trump is probably mentioned HERE 300 times too. It about the dumbest argument imaginable. ❤🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is all about keeping a "credible" distance during the campaign. Once this is over and if Trump wins (a longshot these days) he will implement this. Because Trump is a patsy to the evangelicals.

❤Blessed as well that my entire family is united in support of Harris. It must be devastating when politics divide families.
I concur.
I commend you. I went to university in Utah and it was difficult for me as an independent voter and a Non-Mormon. Sooo many Trump people.
My take is Donald thought Hawaii was a different country and when he realized it was one of the United States he was too far down the rabbit hole to stop. He made fools out of himself and all his friends.
Trump also did not know that Virgin Islands was a US territory.
He once claimed that he had a conversation with it's "president"!
The level of ignorance is breathtaking.
@@arlethapappas3325 I think so too! Yep
You're probably right about that, he is so ignorant about so many things
He & his friends were already fools.
I am a progressive Latino and yet while I disagree with Michael Medved often, I honor and respect this man - his intellect, his sense of humor, his fairness and his astuteness. He is a conservative in the traditional sense of the word - faith, strong military, localism, etc. Yet, he is courageous amid the MAGA onslaught. You will always have my support Michael.
Oh yes! Well said. I am a Latina, lifelong Democrat, in my 70s, and I really appreciate this program. I am very grateful to have so many interesting Republicans standing with us, against Trump and his horrible offer of chaos, cruelty, and fascism.
I’m a proud democrat and have always felt patriotic.
That off-hand comment from Medved showed his true colors.
@@nobodyimportant7804 And the AOC comment. Why's AOC catching strays? Lol.
Dump Trump and project 2025
So Weird😂😂😂
I find it darkly humorous that Mark Robinson doesn't realize that he himself would be a slave not an owner if the 13th amendment was repealed.
Well if Mark doesn't know what his status would be in 1939 Nazi Germany, what can we say?
He wouldn't make it 1 day!!!
Believe it or not, there were some black slave owners back in the day. The mistresses of white men and the mulatto children. Some were benevolent and only bought their families so they wouldnt be owned by someone else, but some actually used their slaves to get ahead economically & were really terrible to them, bc the people the owned were "blacker" than them 😕
@@jessmunguia5283 So you are justifying his ignorance ? While you are technically correct, the incidents of Black slave owners was extremely rare. Even free Blacks, slave owners or not, were subject to being forced into slavery. Clearly, Robinson would not have fallen into the category of a mulatto. Mark and you wrongly presume that he would have somehow been among the small # of free Blacks in the south. My great grandfather was a mulatto, the son of a white Plantation owner in GA, and although his “father” allowed him to live on the land after emancipation , the father and his fellow White former confederate soldiers, denied my great grandfather the rights of US citizenship, including the right to vote.
@sharonmcgahee6327 not at all! You misunderstood. I was just saying it has happened, rarely.
I don't support or justify it. Slavery is horrible no matter what color the person is.
This isn't football. We're not picking favorite teams. Not a Republican, not a Democrat. I pick based what's on the best interest of the country. Country over Crazy every time!
yep! its our freedom, not an SEC title. been saying this since this trump crap stated in 2015
You are being an idealist. But politics now is a team sport more than ever has been.
Same.
Great point
I just love how Republicans say government shouldn’t have so much control or say in their lives or businesses and then turn around and say “we’re going to use the government to control your life and businesses.”
These aren't even conservatives anymore
Bingo!! Worst hypocrites ever!!
It's almost like they've been total hypocrites all along.
Trump was never a conservative, he's hiding behind terminology but he's more of a dictator type of guy and the cult of personality around him goes along with anything he mentions
they always run saying "government is broken and corrupt" and then they break and corrupt it and go "LOOK, see! We were right!!"
BLUE for SANITY!🇺🇸✌️

I am a democrat. My four brothers all served in the military. I am relatively conservative as well as a churchgoer. Family has always been a top priority in my family. I am also proud to be an American. I do get irked when the right thinks they have a lock on all of these qualities.
Are your brother's democrats? Why did they serve and you didn't?
@@charleswood7677 A “Victoria” might be old enough that her opportunities to serve would have come with brutal misogyny. I’m an Army brat and my sergeant father strongly encouraged me to take other paths. Yes, there have always been women who served, but it has been fantastically harsh in some eras.
I am a Christian Democrat. We do exist.
Every time someone says to me “trump has nothing to do with P2025” I lose my mind! Everything he says is part of it!
His name is mentioned over 300 times in those 900+ pages.
@@lynnhoffman247 yup! It’s astounding! When I asked if they had read it they said yes. Trump is not the author! I was like ummmmm yeah right! So basically you didn’t read it. So typical! Thx Lynn! 💙💙💙
He also has as his own a short side of the 2025 project. I was told that this began as a project with Orban . He used this to get his country the. Way he wanted to and showed trump etc. And away it went . They built 2025.

@@judymawhorter7301 thanks for this. Of course I’m not surprised. Makes a lot of sense!!!
My brother has a significant pre-existing condition, has two daughters, works by the hour and lived two blocks from the train derailment in East Palestine. He has no higher education and is divorced from a woman who left him for no one else. We grew up near the Tijuana border and all of our friends were and still are Mexican or Asian. He's full on MAGA now and is proof that the poorly educated and the angry are easy to manipulate.
Once one loses empathy, apathy and hate are all that is left.
Succumbing to "lower" emotions and feelings is always easier than taking the high road and working toward higher ideals. It will always be easier to go downhill than uphill, so the charge we get from anger and hate is much easier to achieve than the satisfaction (albeit more lasting and fulfilling) from nobler causes. Integrity is a choice that requires effort.
I suspect much of MAGA are people who are disappointed in what they've made of their lives and look for others to blame. I do wonder how many of these MAGA guys sat in the back row in class and read comic books rather than learning.
MAGA is so much like how Germany turned sour in the 1930s.
Hope someone will educate them.
WOW. I’m sorry but that’s really sad His mind is mush now and he’s in a cult. Maybe his daughters can have a accident or or an emergency on the day of November 5 and he can’t go vote at all. That should be those girls mission right now is to get their dad not to vote for him.
The fact that Nikki Haley turned around and endorsed Donald Trump says a lot about her I’m glad we found out who she is!
Two-time Obama voter I spent more time listening to Michael Medved during 2015/2016 than ever before and I’m really glad you’re having him on.
Not a single Democratic administration in Medved's lifetime has been authoritarian and criminal. Every single one of the GOP administrations in his lifetime - save for Eisenhower - were authoritarian and criminal.
Where does this nitwit get off saying that the Democrats are finally pro-America?
Don't let these charlatans get away with using Trump to whitewash their views and history, and that includes Tim Miller and Michael Medved. They happily carried water for some evil people in the past. Freaking Medved respects Dick Cheney, that is the depth of his depravity.
The people that he respects laid the foundation to make Trump possible.
I've lived in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Washington. All of those murdering pets would have been charged, indicted & and jailed for killing any pet.
Just another reason why even if you're not the biggest fan of Harris, it's imperative to vote for Democrats at all levels (President, House, Senate, Governors, local judges) to help prevent Project 2025 from happening anywhere in this country.
Yes! We need a House, Senate and Whitehouse to go Blue for 2 terms (get some stuff done, and clean house)
do you guys know anyone who didn't normally partake in the voting process? can you guys help them get registered and vote blue?
Harris is going to lose Michigan over Palestine policy if she doesn't make a change
It's absolutely crucial to prevent the GOP from holding both the White House and Senate, so they can't replace Thomas and Alito with two 40-year-old extremists who will lock down the right-wing majority for decades.
I have always considered myself a fence-straddling Independent. I voted for GWB twice. The Republicans started to lose me when people like Rush Limbaugh attacked Obama for his middle name and the birther BS. Then Romney said it wasn't his job to worry about 47% of the population. The final straw was the decision in 2016 to nominate tRump. Kasich would have had my vote, but Clinton (reluctantly) got it instead.
I won't say I'll never vote for another Republican. I will say that, until the Republican party regains some sanity and equilibrium, I'll only vote blue.
That’s exactly when they lost me too I was an independent after being Republican because my parents were. Found my own voice and now I’m Democrat. If you are a loving person I don’t I think that there is any other way to be but Democrat at this point
They lost me a little sooner (the 2000 SC primary), but what matters is that we're on the same team now. I'm of the same mind regarding voting GOP.
Rush Limbaugh didn't lose you in the 90s when he was attacking women's rights among other things?
WTF?
@@nobodyimportant7804 Those who arrived later to the party than others are still at the party. Let's party.
@nobodyimportant7804 that's a good point. That stuff bothered me, but not enough to drive me completely away from the Republican party. I tolerated the bigotry but was disgusted by it.
I think several things happened in a relatively short period of time that brought me some clarity: a friendship with a very feminist woman who helped me see that feminist really wasn't a bad word; my son's realization that he is LGBTQ; I left the Baptist church; and I embraced my Democratic-Socialist tendencies.
Edit: I should probably point out that I was in my teens and early twenties in the 90's .
One of the best things about these podcasts is looking at the guest's libraries. And this guest has a beautiful library.
Agreed! I love library-snooping. 📚👀
Yes! I always imagine they put the books they're currently reading visible. It makes me want to read them.
Interesting people read and integrate the revelations of their reading into both a broad and deep understanding of “stuff”. Bigots do the opposite.
@@notesfromleisa-land Bigots don’t need to read they just know. Not everyone is as smart as them, give us a chance. Lol
makes you realize that the only way to gain a great deal of knowledge and have positive impact is to spend as little time online as possible and as much honing your skills(for work) and your mind(through reading and interacting with multiple sources of intellectual thought)
Niki would not even come close because she said she would pardon Trump, what a flip flopper
Nikki lost me when she couldn't understand what slavery meant in😮 American history. This from the state that started the Confederacy,

Boots on our feet, not on our necks.
Medved's guilty reaction, to his write-in vote in 2016, reveals what a fine human being he is.
Just proved that he has grown and learned from his mistakes. If only my Maga relatives would.
Not a fan of Reagan. Didn't he start social issues like abortion into politics? And reaganomics that hasn't benefit anybody but super rich.
Exactly! He continued and expanded Nixon's efforts to draw right wing white evangelicals into the gop.
He was also complicit in the corrupt and bloody Iran Contra scandal.
There is a lot more. He was a bad man with bad policies that hurt our country, but is viewed as a hero by many.
as someone who watched an entire generation of people die from AIDS-i view Reagan as a full-on enemy. And yes, he coined "welfare queen" , he brought the religious right/moral majority into the White House and onto the floor of congress. Every idea around equality/the environment/fairness that Carter had attempted to bring to the country-Reagan obliterated with zeal. De-regulation. All of that has Reagan's name all over it. it bothers me greatly when this is glossed over in a Reagan discussion. bring my dead friends back, please.
Still waiting for the trickle down part to kick in 😂
He also shut down mental institutions here in California.
He was the first to implement some of the current Heritage Foundation policies in the 80’s
Project 2025 paired with the land of the free and the home of the brave is not a match. 🇺🇸💙
Thank you for introducing this guest to me. I probably listened to his show over the years but didn’t know the man behind it. He is an American hero journalist
I like am someone who likes AOC and appreciate her working so hard for us.
She is so intelligent
AOC is someone who is working class, and smarter than the Republican party. She calls out their B.S. with facts, personal stories, grace and charm. So yea, she scares Republicans and Conservatives.
Me too. She’s the full package 💥
Absolutely love her. And I am one of those former Republicans who saw the light. AOC is a rock star!

Thank you for this interview! VOTE BLUE
None of the cult apologists should have any place going forward period. Nicki Haley included. How she can look at herself in the mirror or how she justifies her actions to her children & grandchildren will be something to watch.
Thank you for this comment. MAGA and MAGA adjecent people like Haley and Vivek cannot be part of a new Republican party. For goodness sake, character and moral compass matters. These people that are absent good character is the exact reason the Republican party cannibalised itself.
I agree. She is reprehensible.
Thank you so much for having Michael Medved on your show! I used to listen to his show all the time when I was younger. I credit him with teaching me a lot about values and politics. I stopped listening when Trump started rising to power and I've always wondered what Michael thought of Trump. I didn't want to tune in because it would have broken my heart to find out he had become a Trumper like so many others. This is the first time I've seen or heard him in years and I'm so happy to learn he is supporting Kamala Harris!
I knew nothing about Michael Medved until this wonderful interview. I don'y live in the state of Washington but I have two adult children that do, liberal like myself. This is a man I can respect, a man whose views I can appreciate, whose mind is his own. Thank you for bringing him to your podcast.
I'd say it's a privilege to be able to ignore the dark parts and focus on the positive. I try and find the positive, but as a trans woman who has been more than once to the reading of the names of all the trans women who'd been killed each year, there's darknesses I can't ignore and places in the US I no longer feel safe.

Yes. Of course! We are educated and have manners. I have no time for Maga, however 😂
There's something for (against) everyone in P2025. That alone should make sane people vote Blue. I guess it still needs more discussion. I hope Harris/Walz continue to hammer it - along with channels like this one.
Unless you’re a MAGA Billionaire, Project 2025 has something really ugly just for you. It’s highly particular in how it would harm you. Amazing they got so creative on the specifics.
💙🙏🏽💙🇺🇸
Good for you, Tim, for AOC, who has been gradually rounding her sharper edges. Her political maturation should be acknowledged and encouraged. Her example can bring the extremes toward the center.
We do need all "points" of view..
The "center" is how we get Trump. While it is better that AOC has refined her messaging, we need actual Leftists to secure positive change.
PROJECT25 will definitely be the first and only action item for Trump if he gets elected. We can be certain about that.
Realistically, it depends on who pumps the most money into Trump's pockets. It may well be that the people who agree with P2025 will also be those most willing to buy Trump.
😮o😮op
No sane people will work for him.
2025 is way to scary to let dumpster back in the white house.WE THE PEOPLE WANT PEACE AND OUR SANATIY
The heritage foundation has deep pockets and evangelical Christo fascist support. This election is about character and integrity. The contrast between the candidates can't b any more clear. Democracy does not defend itself. The American people will do the right thing in November.
What an incredible story! Thank you Bulwark for sharing him with us ❤
This is someone who has principles. A very very rare trait these days!!!
Hey! There are many with principles fighting for our democracy. It’s the crazy millions of followers who will take us down, not the leaders!
I love the Radio Host who has principles and is honest. What a great personality.
Im really enjoyingthis conversation for an ex republican. Michael is a very bright guy. Good work, guys.
I just want to say I’ve been liberal my whole life but due to this channel and others like it my faith in humanity is being built back up. Voices like yours are a balm.
I’m surprised that I look forward more to these centrist Republican opinions than most of the leftist channels out there (Pod Save America is my only option in THAT space) for how measured and sensible you are. Thank you.
Tim, you are a good man. Interesting to see Michael Medved now.
The bulwark is full of great people but this show with Michael Medved was epic! Wow. Thank you for sharing such intelligent content.
I was a MM listener when I was a young Libertarian. Since I've come to my senses, I've been proud to see that MM was one of the early Never Trumpers and has stuck to his principles. History will smile on you.
I have a soft spot for Michael Medved- so many years, I watched him and Jeffrey Lyons on SNEAK PREVIEWS. It's great to have this time with him here. Well done, Tim & team.
God Bless Nebraska!
...and Omaha's next mayor? (Maybe it's not purely democratic altruism, but I appreciate the ethics involved as The Common Good is served.)
God, please save this whole country 🙏
Excellent interview. I love the quality of guests you bring to the table. Thank you, Mr Medved, for your insights. 👏👏
When I was a child, my mother had Rush Limbaugh on the radio most days, and Medved's show bumped up against Rush's, so I heard his name a lot. I asked why we never listened to him, and she told me he was too liberal. I'm happy to report that she is not in the orange cult.
Oh my goodness sir I adore your library!! Now that is a thing of beauty! 💙
It is magnificent! Bill Kristol has a pretty nice library too.
I wish this was true. Project 2025 polling is low, yet Trump is still polling high. This simply means many people still don’t associate him with it.
Media should focus more on Project 2025 and less on Springfield. There is a reason Trump/Vance are still talking about Springfield knowing it isn’t true.
they are called low information voters
@@blambraxMore like no information voters. The cult is deep.

Lets vote BLUE ALL THE WAY!!! WHEN WE FIGHT!!! WE WIN!!!
Need to keep calling it Trump's Project 2025.
Outstanding interview. As a Democrat I listened to Mr. Medved for years on a Conservative talk show station here in Az and while I didn't agree with everything he said, he was always thoughtful and extremely well spoken.
Its good to see him here with Tim.
Great to see Michael again! He looks good!
As a nation we will reap what we sow & we will deserve it...
Very enlightening. I'm a progressive and I may disagree with many of the hosts on this channel on specific issues. But I have found that something interesting is happening.
First and foremost, as I'm getting older I'm going more towards the middle. But also, hearing good faith Republicans talking about stuff and often agreeing with them, it sort of shatters my "them vs us" idea of the world.
I think we agree on the most important things and as of now they are in play. Diplomacy, decency, democracy etc.
We need all of that to then be able to discuss all the other things. And I have found we agree on more things than I thought.
Ths bulwark is doing such an important job and I thank you very much ❤
Good for you, Michael. Enjoyed listening to you while I was in Seattle. You are a great American!
Medved is so deliberate and wise , great conversation
Never thought I’d appreciate and agree with the words of Michael Medved, but nevertheless here we are.
My Democrat dad fought in WWII. Was he patriotic? What did he teach me? Patriotism and being a good Democrat. And being a Jew, never again.
Armistice Day is a yearly holiday that reminds us not to forget what happened in World War ii. When it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, one must remember Sudetenland that was given up to Hitler and then he just took over the rest of the country. The rest of Czechoslovakia just gave up because they didn't want the Bloodshed that Hitler wanted.
Trump refers to it as Project 25.
I'm also a NEVER TRUMPER and proud
of it.
The Emperor's new clothes. Everything for the world to see. Project 2025 shows it all.
The deeper meaning of the story is on display.
How can a grown adult think that writing in a candidate is anything other than ignorant?
Certainly, a write-in is a break from reality and a wasted vote. So, I’m all for it, if isn’t done by a Dem. 🇺🇸💙

Tim,
I'm a 67 yr.old vet. I've lived through several presidential campaigns. Never really listened to Michael's radio stuff, but I have read enough of his stuff ( mostly pre-internet) to know that I've agreed, and disagreed with him over the yes.

Bravo Michael! So nice to know people like you still exist!
From 2002- 2014 I listened to The Medved Show every afternoon. Now I listen to Tim Miller every afternoon. I'm glad one of the voices that lead me to conservatism didn't join the MAGA cult.
thank you Tim-it is worse than "ludicrous" it is DEPRAVED. it is wrong. wrong.
So much history 🙏🏿🙏🏿thanks for bringing Michael on
This interview is one reason I watch this channel.
The reporter said he had talked to "economists". Trump answered as if he had asked about Congress. Trump is stupid!
PROUD Nebraskan democrat here---and PROUD of our Sen. McDonnell who did'nt get 'swept up' by maga's BS. THANK YOU SEN. McDonnell from a fellow Nebraskan.
He doesn't care about credibility in the slightest.
Both sides of society know that he is lying about this issue as well.
But one of those sides agrees with the project and believes that lying is a valid tool to achieve it.
Even on the left? Come on Tim. Listen to yourself. We democrats have fewer sex scandals, more intact families. LESS HATE toward Americans who are different than them. Mind boggling to hear republican biased view of Democrats.
Well we are but no one is exempt from scandals 😮
@@elaineburnett5230Who said otherwise?
@@elaineburnett5230True, but we do seem much more willing to hold our own accountable for them, whereas the Republicans seem to engage in protection of those who create scandal.
“John McCain was unavailable.”
That was dry. Super super dry …
Yeah...that hit me sideways as well...clever is often better off unspoken
I remember Michael Medved bc I became NT in 2015 too. I used to listen to him back so thx for having him on your show.
I'm in a back and forth with my grandson in law re: the myth and the truth. It is exhausting.
🫂
No kidding
They made a Schoolhouse Rock-inspired Short about Project 2025.. concise, covers the basics, relatable
Listening to how Medved moved from the left to the right, I hear the thinking of many of those on each side.
Right: Life is pretty good for me, don't mess it up.
Left: We have problems we need to fix. And sometimes the fixes may discomfort the comfortable.
Follow the lead of the right and America does not get better. It gets stuck with unsolved problems.
He's a moderate.
It blows my mind and heart that people who I love in my extended family got theirs (with so much help from others though they believe it was all them) so go get yours. 1 generation removed from immigrants. Yet they fail to realize they live in a society where everyone contributes to the whole. Instead they just whine and complain about how everyone doesn’t work as hard as they do while on their fifth vacation this year and just bought their third lambo. I can’t. The only reason that they are now fiscally conservative is that they don’t want to contribute to living in a society. Socially liberal they say but would hand the country over to a failed bankrupt conman for a few extra dollars in their pocket. They claim I am voting for vibes not policy yet can’t name one policy for their orange tinted man child.
Meanwhile I am voting for the future of America. Our democracy. Our society. For lifting the tide and not a few yachts. Go figure.
We need both perspectives because both draw attention to the value of things that are true. Neither perspective needs an American version of fascism, which takes the nation's power out of the votes of the people and puts it in the hands of a criminally-immune leader. By definition we do not tolerate tyranny. We are a self-governing people.
@@vickiefrisbie1000Well said. My thoughts exactly.
I've always been liberal, and always been pro-America. I had a bumper sticker saying "It's My Flag, Too" and it got keyed during the GWBush admin. Our love of America is clear-eyed and insistent that all of us be included in the foundational vision for this country.
I like Mr Medved's statement that being the chosen one doesn't mean special privileges but that we have special responsibilities . If we all think like that, we could be living in a kinder world!
Medved is totally on point.😀
What a wonderful man! As a lifelong Dem I will forever be grateful for the number of sane, interesting, socially moderate and small d democracy loving Republicans the Bulwark has introduced me to the last few years! Tim Miller, you are amazing! Keep up the good work!
He says he knows nothing and doesn’t want to read it , maybe it’s got to be on a tape he can listen to since he doesn’t read!

Thrilled to see Michael Medved on your show, Tim. I listened to him for years on KTTH, and called in a few times.
It is truly amazing. Kamala is running an A+ campaign and Trump is running an F campaign. Never has there been such a disparity in campaign performance.
