Hi, Bill Kristol here. Welcome to Bulwark on Sunday. I'm pleased to be joined by my friend, colleague for a long time at the Weekly Standard and now contributor to the Bulwark. Every now and then, maybe a little more in the future, I hope. Tom Joslin, expert on many things. Did a lot of economics work when you were young, Tom, but then quite an expert on the fight against terrorism in the Middle east and then on the fight against extremism here at home. One of the main authors, the main author really, of the January 6th committee report. And Tom, thanks for thanks for joining me today.

I should begin by saying this is noon Sunday. Obviously last night we had the scary and bad events at the White House correspondent dinner. Very grateful that obviously I know I speak for Tom in this, that no one was hurt. Appreciative of law enforcement's work to make that happen, deplore acts of violence. And I think Tom and I have both been through enough of these kinds of breaking news events that we're both hesitant to speculate and don't really want to contribute to speculation before. We'll know a lot quite soon about the suspect, about security issues and all that. Sam Stein and I discussed this at 9am if people want to get a sort of 15, 20 minute discussion of where we are. But I'll leave it at that. And so Tom, we were going to talk about white supremacy, which it's an important issue, I think the Washington Post had a piece just two or three days ago pretty striking over the past I'll just read a couple of sentences over the past seven months 6% of Elon Musk's posts on X, the platform he owns, about 850 of them have been about race. More than half of these posts have used the word white. The billionaire has posted on X about race nearly daily from last October to mid April. And you and I had been discussing this about a week ago, but before the Post article, actually, you would notice much the same thing, and more broadly, the extent to which white supremacy is an important part of the maga. Right. Sadly. And so I thought it was worth a discussion. So, yeah, I mean, discuss.
