The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

I sat down with long time venture capitalist and author & producer Ted Dintersmith to talk about all things education, AI, who needs to go to college and who doesn’t, math, and his new book coming out next week “Aftermath: The Life-changing Math That Schools Won’t Teach You.” Fascinating conversation.

We ARE dangerously divided. We’re at the point now where most Americans hate the people they disagree with. Consider the people they disagree with to be their “enemy.” So…are we even willing to listen to each other anymore? I’m gonna take this next year to find out the answer to that question. It’s called the Hope, Not Fear Project.

Not at all a surprise, Trump’s war is a fucking disaster, he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he’s looking for a way out, so he’s going to claim “victory” and make the rest of the world clean up after his mess - make the rest of the world open up the Strait of Hormuz, the strait that he closed. This has been what Trump has done his entire life.

Evil. What other word would you use to describe a President of the United States who denies most disaster relief requests from Democratic-led states. No other President has ever done that. No other President would ever think about doing that. Well, Trump is actually doing it. That’s just good old fashioned evil.

A famous musician is going to tour all year this year to raise awareness against Trump. And another celebrity, upon learning this, called the musician a “douche.” That’s messed up. Automatically thinking the worst of and hating the people we disagree with is why our democracy is teetering right now.

I sat down with Rachel Janfanza, founder of The Up And Up, to see where Gen Z is at 14 months into Trump’s presidency. Interesting conversation and a number of surprises. Gen Z does not care for either political party.

Every day, the military and Trump’s advisors show him a 2-3 minute video of us blowing up shit in Iran. They show him a video, no written briefing of the war, of only the “good stuff.” They treat him like a child. This is so dangerous.
