The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

I sat down with Professor Ilana Redstone (@irakresh) whose book, "The Certainty Trap," just came out. If you care about how dangerously divided this country is, you MUST read this book. Healing the divide goes well beyond civil discourse. To heal the divide, we must transform how we think. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We hold Donald Trump to a lower standard than we do other candidates and, really, other human beings. He says so much mean, cruel, ignorant, and dishonest stuff that we just gloss over how truly disqualifying the stuff he say is. No other candidate is treated that way. We treat Trump like a child.

JD Vance will appear by Tucker Carlson's side in a week. He also prerecorded an interview with Tucker yesterday. All AFTER Tucker gave a giant platform to a Holocaust denier. So...Vance must have no problem with denying the Holocaust. Right? That and more today on The Social Contract with Joe Walsh Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Liz Cheney comes out and endorses Kamala Harris, Russian state media has been paying MAGA media voices to spread disinformation. And, it's time for a respectful conversation about school shootings. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tucker Carlson gave a platform to a Nazi apologist yesterday. Donald Trump had dinner with a Jew-hater. It's time the entire country wakes up to the truth that Tucker and Trump are not outliers. They speak for the base of the party. Is the base of the party antisemitic? No. But...antisemitism is not a big leap from MAGA. And it's time MAGA condemns it. Hosted on Acast.

Donald Trump said over the weekend that he had every right to interfere with the election results. He doesn't. Peace is not possible with Hamas. It isn't. And, people accuse me all the time of only voting AGAINST Trump. Never voting FOR Harris. Ok, here's why I'm voting FOR her. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Polls are not predictions of election outcomes. The polls aren't wrong, the ANALYSIS of the polls is what's wrong. Fascinating conversation with researcher @realcarlallen. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kamala Harris did fine last night on CNN. But to defeat Trump, she needs to get out there and take a lot more questions from the media and from regular Americans. And please, please, my MAGA friends - don't let Jesse Watters and all the other right wing media voices lie to you. Have more self respect than that. Hosted on Acast.

This election isn't about Donald Trump. It's about you. It's about us as a people. He believes he can say anything and do anything, no matter how cruel and bigoted, and millions of his supporters will support him no matter what. I hope he's wrong. Hosted on Acast.

Yesterday, Trump used Arlington national Cemetery as a political prop. Par for the course. He's a despicable human being who doesn't respect nor understand the media. Also, some friendly advice for Kamala Harris, and...the Social Contract in action. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's time for Kamala Harris to answer questions from the media, and yes, as a candidate for the highest office in the land, she MUST do it. There are way more Republicans for Harris out there than the experts realize. And...a description of what the Social Contract is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I go on TV a lot. And I talk about the race for President most of the time. And I'm probably a lousy guest because I don't like to talk about how Trump is doing in the polls. Because Trump is a traitor to this country. That's what I want to say every time I go on TV. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The choice couldn't be more clear. Hope, unity, inclusion, and common sense. Or fear, division, intolerance, and chaos. Kamala Harris laid out the difference between her and Trump last night. Now, America must choose.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Donald Trump this morning said that America will "turn to ashes" if he doesn't win. That's bullshit. He's trying to scare you into voting for him. Our country is better than that. YOU are better than that. Prove it to him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just 8-9 yrs ago, I went after barack Obama with everything I had. Last night I found myself agreeing with everything he said. What happened? How could this be? Give this a listen and I'll explain it all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

At the Democratic National Convention, the arena was full of "USA, USA" signs. At the Republican National Convention, the arena was full of "Mass Deportation Now" signs. So America, what kind of a country are we? Time for us to choose. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Because MAGA has become an authoritarian-embracing cult, and because Donald Trumps has become their cult leader, and because Trump has pledged to be a dictator and because Trump always bad mouths America, this week in Chicago we'll hear Democrats embracing & owning the issues of freedom & patriotism.

I joined Carmine Sabia on Pushing the Limit hosted by Brian Shapiro in Las Vegas. Carmine is a conservative, I'm a conservative, we differ on Trump. BIG TIME. So, we had a chat. Thanx Brian. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm going live. My new podcast, "The Social Contract with Joe Walsh" will be live streamed every morning, 10am CT, on every platform. Begins this Monday, Aug 19th. Honest, tough, respectful talk. Like today's brief episode, "Fuck Trump." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump uses fear to get votes. He tries to scare people into voting for him. He's appealing to the worst in us. This is a common tool on the right. I know. Because I used to do some of the same. He did it again yesterday in an ugly, racist way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's time to do the work. It's time to proselytize. All you Republicans for Harris, it's time to go into your neighborhoods and communities and local organizations and make the case to other Republicans that they should vote for Kamala Harris. Here are a few persuasive reasons to help you along the way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I go after Trump as hard as I can every single day. Because I think Trump is a horrible human being. But I do not go after Trump's supporters. Because I used to be a Trump supporter and I think Trump's supporters are better than he thinks they are. And last night another Trump supporter proved it to me. She said she's done with him.

Two minutes. That's all I need here to tell the American people to wake the hell up to the threat that Trump is. Every American voter needs to be reminded about this threat when it comes to Trump. When he loses, he will not accept the loss. And he'll incite violence again. It's coming. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yes, he is who he is, and yes, he's utterly unfit, and yes, he spent 90 minutes yesterday lying and complaining, and yes, he must be defeated in November. But I kept thinking something else as I watched him yesterday. I kept thinking about all the hard work ahead of us AFTER the election. Let me explain... Hosted on Acast.

I don't think my former political party can be saved, fixed or reformed. I think it's on this authoritarian path and I don't see it getting off of this path. But I do know if this one scenario happens in November, there is a chance the GOP could be saved. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
