The Social Contract with Joe Walsh
Trump Is Trying To Disenfranchise You. What Are You Prepared To Do?
•
A USPS whistleblower described what the agency is doing trying to implement Trump’s illegal executive order limiting mail in voting as a “shit show” that could put the votes of millions of Americans at risk. And even though a U.S. district judge told the USPS two weeks ago to stop what they’re doing, they haven’t stopped. This is all just one way Trump is trying to fuck with the midterms.

When We Normalize Trump, He Wins. So Don’t Normalize Him
31:43|This weekend, a journalist said something Trump didn’t like. So Trump ordered the government to punish her. Trump also saw polls he didn’t like, so he ordered his government to go after the pollsters. This is the kind of thing dictators do, it’s the kind of thing fascists do. It’s not the kind of thing that should happen in America. We must not let it.Blue No Matter Who? Red No Matter What?
46:50|This week, my weekly tequila talk with Cliff Schecter addressed the issue of people voting for candidates on their side no matter how flawed they think those candidates might be. Should voters have a red line when it comes to voting for candidates or not? Their side winning is more important than who the candidate is? Good conversation.Take It From A Former Right Wing Warrior: Democrats Need Leaders Who Understand We’re At War
01:00:03|I sat down with Eli Goldstein and gave him my take, as a former MAGA gangbanger, on what the Democratic Party needs to understand and needs to do. First and foremost I said, Democrats need to understand that my former political party is at war trying to dismantle this democracy. Democrats need to be at war defending this democracy.A Libertarian And A Socialist Walk Into A Bar. Part 12
23:03|This week, my young socialist friend and I discussed the Republican Party, how and why Republicans always seem to fall in line behind Trump, the growth of MAGA beyond Trump and the implications of all of this for the entire country. Interesting conversation.After Yesterday’s SCOTUS Ruling, Prepare For The Absolute Worst
29:22|I know, I know, wiser heads are saying this was just a procedural ruling, that the Supreme Court yesterday lifting a lower court’s injunction halting Trump’s effort to limit mail in voting was just procedural, yada, yada, yada. All I know is this: Trump is in Al all out war against our elections, and the Supreme Court just moved him one step closer to victory.Hakeem Jeffries, Like Chuck Schumer, Is Not Capable Of Meeting This Moment
29:30|Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner in recent weeks. Incredible. Kushner should be under oath in front of a congressional committee. The fact that Jeffries met with him confirms that Jeffries doesn’t understand this moment and cannot meet this moment. And if he’s the next Speaker, that’s not a good thing for the Democratic Party or the country.
