The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

My weekly sit down with Cliff Schecter, long time Democratic strategist. We discussed the divides between the Democratic Socialists, progressives, and moderate Democrats. The fighting is beginning to get ugly. The fight is real and should happen, but not right now. Right now, the focus should be solely on Trump. Have the fight AFTER the midterms.

I sat down with writer, director, & podcaster Andy Ostroy, and we covered everything including is MAGA breaking up, are Republicans finally breaking from Trump, and what do Democrats need to do to win beyond 2026. Cool conversation. Have a listen.

18 American service members have been killed so far in Trump’s war against Iran. And Trump uses that number 18, and compares it to all the Americans lost in previous wars like the Vietnam war, as some sort of “success story.” He’s despicable. And he doesn’t know what he’s doing and he doesn’t care.

3 questions for today’s show: What’s worse, being wicked or being wrong? Is it an irrational act for a brown or black person to run away from ICE if they’re pulled over? And, why would any journalist go to a White House Correspondent’s Dinner with a president who’s at war against the First Amendment?

Today’s Republican Party is authoritarian, it’s fascist, it’s an utterly un-American political party led by the very thing our Founders feared. But you know what’s crazy? Today’s Republican Party will keep winning nationally and in battleground states if Democrats keep doing them a big favor - going crazy left and talking about shit the American people don’t agree with or don’t care about.
