Episode 229 - Tim Miller

Rundown - Intro - 00:35 Tim Miller - 06:56 Troubadour Dave Gunders - 50:54 "Louisiana Goodbye" by Dave Gunders - 59:45 Outro - 01:07:01 Political savant Tim Miller is ubiquitous on our screens now. He's a Regis High School graduate and one of the hottest broadcasters in the world. Cable News loves his commentary and he's a major podcast breakout star via The Bulwark. https://podcast.thebulwark.com/guests/tim-miller Tim Miller was the communications director for the Jeb Bush for President campaign in 2016. Donald Trump took down Jeb, and we discuss how the Bush family feels now and if they’ll speak out against Trump. Tim Miller takes on Donald Trump with brilliant commentary and analysis. He was in the belly of the GOP beast. After the June presidential debate, this podcast and others demanded Biden pass the torch. Other podcasters like Ezra Klein, Pod Save America, and David Axelrod led the national charge. But no podcaster/pundit outdid Tim Miller, who used his massive daily Bulwark platform and persuasive skills to make change happen. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/enough-with-the-biden-psychodrama Tim Miller describes his upbringing and how he barely survived his Regis High years with long commutes on C-470. Jesuit education was a family tradition, and he always attended parochial schools. Miller also made the acquaintance of Colorado Governor Bill Owens, with whom he maintains good relations. Miller saves his most effusive praise for Governor Jared Polis. The two are gay trailblazers in public life and know each other well. Tim Miller, his husband, and their children live in New Orleans for good reasons. Miller returns to Colorado frequently for family, skiing, Red Rocks, and the Denver Nuggets. Nikola Jokic's status as the best player in the world is undisputed. Nuggets' love runs deep in this show. But harsh disaffection is expressed for the Nuggets’ owner Stan Kroenke who has deprived Denver of seeing our MVP on Comcast for way years now. Tim Miller rips Stan Kroenke. Also disappointing is the MAGA support by Larry Mizel, a prominent Colorado billionaire who has joined Team Trump along with Miriam Adelson and other rich Jews. Host and guest ponder why prominent Colorado Republicans won’t just say no to Trump. Any Netanyahu-Trump plans should not be trusted. We trust our show’s Troubadour, Dave Gunders, every week to supply the perfect song. "Louisiana Goodbye" is a poignant tale of a Bayou family that loves their home but cannot escape a hurricane. It is a story of persistence. We reviewed and enjoyed another positive week for Harris-Walz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6-zTmFm2KA
