The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz smile a lot. All the time. That matters. Donald Trump and JD Vance don't smile very much. That matters too. Team Harris/Walz want to bring us together, team Trump/Vance want to divide us. It's a big difference. And we have to choose what we want. Hosted on Acast.

Last week, Trump rooted against the return of the American hostages. Yesterday, Trump rooted against the American economy. Trump is always blaming America. For everything. Trump thinks America is the bad guy. Trump supporter - how can you vote for a guy like that? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Whenever Trump says or does something bad, stupid, ignorant, corrupt, dishonest, bigoted, or lawless, it's never HIS fault. Trump's supporters will blame EVERYONE else but Trump. Which is weird. Because they don't do that with anyone else. They truly do enable Trump to be nothing more than a pathetic victim. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump couldn't say one word, or take one moment to praise the return of the hostages yesterday. He's just utterly incapable. He's a horrible human being. But I know every single one of his supporters took a moment to rejoice in their return. I know that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Paul Miller (@pauliespoint) and I are almost identical politically. We're both free market guys. And we've been friends forever. But in November, we'll vote for two different people. We sat down with each other to try to understand why this is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kamala Harris is bi-racial. Dad from Jamaica, mom from India, they met in California. And lost in all of Trump's ugly, divisive, racist attack yesterday against Harris is how utterly cool and uniquely American her story is. Her story should be celebrated, not attacked.

Trump & Maga are going to pound Kamala Harris on the issue of immigration. Harris shouldn't back down. She should punch back. But she should also with a smile and outstretched arms remind the American people that America is a land of immigrants. It's a great issue for Dems if they recognize it. Hosted on Acast.

12 yrs ago, I'm a hell-raising tea party Congressman. Going after Obama and Hillary Clinton. 12 yrs later I find myself on the same side as Obama & Hillary. Fighting together. Crazy, huh? Me, tea party Joe Walsh is now with Hillary. Well it's been a crazy 12 yrs in American politics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I believe Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. But every time I say that, people demand that I prove it, give examples of, and explain what I mean by "threat to democracy." So here I go - here's example #1 proving how Trump is that threat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I got a message from a Trump supporter yesterday. It stopped me in my tracks. Look, I get hundreds of messages of hate every day, but every now and then I get one that stops me cold and makes me realize this whole country needs a political "time out." This was that message.

The old man, convinced he couldn't win & concerned for his country, walked away from power. The bad man, having lost an election, committed crimes, abused his office, and incited an insurrection to hang on to power. We don't know yet how this story will end. Hosted on Acast.

Former supporter of mine argued with me last night. He believes what the Dems did with Biden was a coup. Which I know is utter bullshit. But I didn't say that to him. I listened to him to understand why he felt that way. And I'm glad I did. Because I learned a lot. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Donald Trump is appealing to the very worst in us. He believes it will work. He believes by spreading anger, hate, and division, he'll get elected. He does this because he doesn't think very highly of us. Let's prove him wrong. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hulk Hogan ripped off his t shirt last night. You choose America: you want four years of being entertained? Four years of giving the middle finger to our broken politics? Four years of nothing getting done? Maybe that's what we want. Your choice America. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

She just couldn't understand, after all that Trump had done, after the 2020 election, after January 6th, after all the indictments and felonies, she just couldn't understand how this election could be close. How Trump could actually win. So I told her. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Her husband was shot and killed Saturday at the Trump rally. President Biden called her yesterday. She declined to take the call. And immediately America, on social media, pounced and got outraged. Instead of giving this woman some grace and understanding. Be better America. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What happened Saturday was horrible. Political violence is always wrong. But Trump and his supporters are using the shooting to try to intimidate his opponents into being quiet. Into not calling Trump a threat to democracy. Don't let them intimidate you. Trump remains a threat to democracy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I say this as a former candidate, I say this as a former politician, I say this as an old guy who had voted in a whole lot of elections: Rarely do you love who you vote for. Rarely are you inspired by who you vote for. That's life. And that's ok. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm a former politician. So I get it. Yes, the only thing politicians care about is getting elected & staying in power. But I had a private conversation with a Democratic elected official yesterday and what he said STILL stunned me. And saddened me. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It doesn't matter who the Democratic nominee is. It just doesn't. The only thing that matters is stopping Trump. And saving our democracy. So join me. Please to support the Democratic nominee no matter who it is. Join the "NO MATTER WHO IT IS" club. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I've given up everything to oppose Donald Trump. Nothing matters except defeating Trump in November. I've publicly called for Joe Biden to step down. Disagree with me sure. Call me stupid, sure. But don't question my motives. Don't you dare do that. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A plea to Gen Z. Save this country in 2024. Save this democracy in 2024. Come out and vote like you've never done before. Vote against Trump. No matter who the Democratic nominee is. Do that this year. And then we can fix this broken political system of ours. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There are more people in America who oppose Trump, than there are people who support him. If all of us who oppose Trump pledge to support the Democratic nominee no matter WHO that nominee is, then we will defeat Trump. So make that pledge. And we'll be fine. Hosted on Acast.

He & I both will do anything & everything to make sure Trump is defeated in November. But Matthew Dowd & I disagree over what we should or shouldn't say post-debate regarding Joe Biden. So we sat down. Great conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
