Mark PolymeropoulosHOST
I'm joined here today with my, uh, outstanding partner in crime, Michael Weiss.
Mark PolymeropoulosHOST
Uh, my favorite journalist, uh, not only in DC, but really globally.
Mark PolymeropoulosHOST
He's broken lots of stories.
GerdesHOST
Right? So it's same, same sort of dilemma that you're potentially creating.
GerdesHOST
Michael Weiss says, "This gets better.
GerdesHOST
Top executives from companies linked to Russian security services attended Trump's son's wedding," or at least the party afterwards.

He also, so on the... as well as over the weekend with that train, he says that there was another explosion at Emco.
Dominic NichollsHOST
That's the Bulgarian arms manufacturer.
Maddie HaleHOST
We've got Trump, uh, and his, you know, quest to end the Russia-Ukraine war, and what we're hearing from that, and some conflicting narratives between what John Ratcliffe says and what perhaps Steve Witkoff says, and we're also gonna talk a little bit about this trade war with Canada.

Michael WeissGUEST
I mean, both are contemptuous of weakness and displays of, of, of, you know, supplicant behavior.
Michael WeissGUEST
So Carney at least punches back, and I think there's a, a grudging respect that Trump has for, for people who do that.
Maddie HaleHOST
Michael Weiss, thank you so much for joining the show today.
Michael WeissGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Jonathan FinkGUEST
It's the only thing that counts.
Yuri RashkinHOST
That really strikes me because Michael Weiss was speaking on a podcast I saw yesterday on Bulwark, where he was speaking about how we in the West are more likely to catastrophize what's happening in Ukraine.
Yuri RashkinHOST
Because exactly like you're saying, they just have to get through it.
Yuri RashkinHOST
They know it's not going to be easy.
Tim MillerHOST
Question mark about whether there are injuries there 'cause the military lies to us about that.
Tim MillerHOST
Michael Weiss, a new Bulwark c- contributor who we're excited about, pointed out that Ukraine wanted just 300 Patriots to help protect themselves this winter, but we're running out of Patriots.
Tim MillerHOST
We wasted 60 in just one night defending, you know, these attacks on Jordan.
Tim MillerHOST
This seems to be kind of out of control.
Sam SteinHOST
It's me, Sam Stein, managing editor of The Bulwark.
Sam SteinHOST
I'm here with Michael Weiss, formerly my sparring partner at Dartmouth.
Sam SteinHOST
He did not know this.
Sam SteinHOST
I had to remind him of this.
Tim MillerHOST
We're gonna move on to the Department of War.
Tim MillerHOST
We talked about this a little bit with Michael Weiss yesterday.
Tim MillerHOST
He created a little bit of a stir talking about Ricky Burria.
Tim MillerHOST
Some, I hear there's some scuttlebutt over in, um, [tsking] in the Pentagon about, uh, the Ricky Burria-
Tim MillerHOST
He writes at Foreign Office on Substack, but I'm pumped to reveal to you right now that he's the co-host of a new Bulwark podcast, Reporter and the Spy, with Mark Pomeropoulos, which is gonna be launching soon.
Tim MillerHOST
It's Michael Weiss.
Tim MillerHOST
We're, we're officially colleagues and buddies and life partners now.

Michael WeissGUEST
This is not, this is not happy times right here.
Tim MillerHOST
Another uplifting report from Michael Weiss, uh, Abraham Lincoln sailors, when you hit port in Thailand, if you see Sam Rockwell's character from White Lotus Season Three, go the other way, okay?
Michael WeissGUEST
Yeah, just run away.
Sam SteinHOST
I fought it.
Sam SteinHOST
I said, "I don't want this guy in, [laughs] in The Bulwark Universe." But Mark and Michael Weiss are joining our little family, and they have a new show.
Sam SteinHOST
It's called The Report and The Spy.
Sam SteinHOST
Awesome new podcast.
Marc PolymeropoulosGUEST
We're not armchair quarterbacks.
Marc PolymeropoulosGUEST
Um, we're actually living the life.
Marc PolymeropoulosGUEST
And so Michael Weiss, who's a dear friend of mine, you know, we spent, you know, years in our friendship just shooting the shit, talking, and all of a sudden we're like, "Wait a second," like, "Let's do a podcast on this." And when we approached you all, it was a really kind of neat, you know, meld of, of these ideas.
Marc PolymeropoulosGUEST
But, you know, we have fun together.
