The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

It's time for Joe Biden to do what Donald Trump is incapable of doing: put his country first. Biden should come out tomorrow, say he's not running, and enthusiastically endorse and embrace his Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee. Hosted on Acast.

The time for bitching, moaning and complaining about Trump or the Supreme Court is over. Stop it. Quit whining and do something about it. It's on us now. Defending democracy is on us now. If we can't come together and defeat him in November, then we deserve our fate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brianna Wu is a proud Democrat. And she's a courageous Democrat. She's courageously called out the dangerous extremes in the progressive movement. And she's gotten a lot of hate from the left for doing it. I can relate to what Brianna is going thru. We sat down. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I always draw a line between Trump and his supporters. I always attack Trump because I believe he's a threat to democracy. But I never attack his supporters because I don't believe they're bad people. And I want to understand them. We need to understand them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Both parties have extremes. And both parties have members who go too far. But there's a big, big, big difference in what "going too far" means in the Democratic Party and what it means in the Republican Party. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I just spent 7 minutes losing my shit. I apologize, but No regrets. Because they're doing it again. Trump & his sycophants are spreading lies, attacking our democracy and inciting violence again. On purpose. They are traitors. We must defeat them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We continue to bankrupt future generations. And both parties are doing it. And neither party gives a damn. And our national debt continues to grow and grow and grow. We owe future generations an apology. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ignore the political experts and all the political smart people who tell us that the American people only care about the economy, health care, the border, etc. bullshit. There is something they care about even more. And thank god they do. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lucky you if even once in your lifetime there is the perfect candidate for you to vote for. Someone you love and respect and agree with on every thing. That's a super rare thing. Most every election is a choice. A choice between a bad candidate and a pretty good candidate. Deal with it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don't ever let anyone say that Trump didn't do anything that Hillary didn't do after she lost in 2016. That's bullshit. Hillary publicly conceded the morning after the election and participated in the peaceful transfer of power. Trump STILL hasn't conceded. Trump is the antithesis of Hillary. Hosted on Acast.

For the next five months, Republicans and the right will do all they can to convince the American people that Joe Biden is senile and completely out of it. It's up to Joe Biden to refute that. In fact, only Biden himself can refute that. What a great opportunity. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump supporters tell me, and have told me for years, that they believe in individual responsibility. The only problem is they believe in individual responsibility for everyone on the planet except for Donald Trump. And they hate being reminded of that. Hosted on Acast.

All the experts say the vast majority of House Republicans are cynical and they don't believe all this MAGA/Trump bullshit. The experts are wrong. The percentage of MAGA/Trumpy true believers in the House is way more than you think and it's growing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Absolutely fascinating conversation with Mike Madrid, who's out next week with his new book, "The Latino Century: How America's Largest Minority is Transforming Democracy." Such an important, timely read. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

He's MAGA. He's a Trump supporter. We've engaged regularly over the past few years, but only this past month did I put an argument against Trump in front of him that finally move him to the point where he won't vote for Trump. I found this fascinating. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

These protests and demonstrations around the world the past 8 months have never really been about a "ceasefire." That's always been the great lie. These protests and demonstrations around the world these days past 8 months that have been about one thing, and one thing only: Hating on Israel. Hosted on Acast.

The average American voter is pissed off. About a lot of stuff. And a lot of it is damn justified. Trump uses that anger to further divide us. For Biden to win, he must recognize that anger, listen to that anger, and use that anger to unite us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here's what we know as absolute fact, as the gospel truth: There are more Americans who oppose Trump than there are Americans who support him. If those Americans who oppose Trump vote, then Trump loses. Period. If they don't vote, then Trump wins. Period. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Pride month, and The Colorado Republican Party yesterday called on everyone to burn all LGBTQ flags. They publicly called for people in Colorado to commit a violent act. Don't turn away from this. Share this. People must see how radicalized the base of my former party has become. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Most media talkers say what they know their audience wants to hear. And most of us only go to media sources to get our beliefs confirmed. This is all making us a hell of a lot more polarized. And it ain't making us any smarter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This MAGA Republican Party is a shrinking, dying national party. The Democratic Party has a unique opportunity to appeal to moderate & conservative NeverTrumper voters and grow as a national party. If they don't, a new party is coming. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're both conservatives. I'm voting for Biden. He's voting for Trump. We didn't change each other's vote, but we did get each other to rethink some things. We need more conversations like this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's not just Trump's base. Damn near every Republican and most independents believe this trial and this indictment are unfair and it's all bullshit. It's not just Trump's base that feels that way. So any verdict will only confirm that belief. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump supporters have told me for six years that Trump is an asshole, but he's their asshole. To which I always respond: I don't care that Trump's an asshole. I don't. I care that he didn't have the decency to concede after he lost. I care that he lies as he breathes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For those of us who want Trump defeated in November, it's on US to defeat him. A trial won't defeat him, a guilty verdict won't defeat him, trying to kick him off the ballot won't defeat him. We're gonna have to defeat him the old fashioned way: by out voting him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
