The Bulwark Podcast - Michael Weiss and Karine Jean-Pierre: Low Energy Trump

Putin’s friend in the White House may be back in his safe space with his kindred spirit in Moscow, but Trump is finding that he has limited leverage on Ukraine to end the war on Putin’s terms. He wants so badly to be crowned the ‘Prince of Peace,’ but he has no vim and vigor to get there—and Zelensky actually said “No” to Trump. Meanwhile, the Gaza ceasefire looks precarious. Plus, former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on stepping away from the two-party system, the lingering anger over how Trump was allowed to win, and the fallout from emphasizing Biden’s legacy at the expense of Kamala’s ‘24 campaign.

Karine Jean-Pierre and Michael Weiss join Tim Miller.

T. Rowe Price’s Blue Macellari argues that Bitcoin’s ETF has altered its cycles forever.


Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, we have a two-for-one show with two interviews we recorded at the North American Blockchain Summit.
