The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

Long time Democratic strategist Cliff Schecter and I sat down to take a state by state look at these senate races. The House is done. Dems have won the House. But what’s going to happen when it comes to control of the Senate? Who knows, but we dove into taking one last look at it anyways.

The Republican senator from Ohio yesterday said non Christians should not be allowed to serve in the United States senate. This is where my former party is today - pushing white Christian nationalism. It’s an ideology that is utterly un-American and un-Christian.

Alex Pretti’s parents held a press conference yesterday. They told the American people they still have not heard from anyone in the federal government about ICE murdering their son. And 10 months later, there’s been no investigation into their son’s murder. No one has been held accountable. This should not happen in America. Think of the Pretti family when you cast your vote on Election Day.

Yesterday, Trump offered $1 million for anyone who reports voter fraud. Just reports voter fraud. Of course he’s lying, he’s always lying, but more importantly, and more dangerously, he’s laying the groundwork to claim another “stolen” election. Because he’d love another Jan 6th. Because he’s our enemy.

8:00 last night, Sunday night, the President of the United States put out a 1,300 word post attacking a comedian. 1,300 words. With everything happening economically in this country right now, Donald Trump spent his Sunday attacking a comedian who said things about him he didn’t like. A week before the election. That’s what he’s focused on.

I sat down earlier this week with Jim Acosta on his show, The Jim Acosta Show, and we gave a great overview of where we’re at now less than 2 weeks until Election Day. A race by race look. Also, we couldn’t help but discuss the utter madness increasingly coming out of Donald Trump’s mouth. Good conversation. Have a listen.

Vivek Ramaswamy put out a horrible, despicable, reprehensible ad against his opponent. And instead of apologizing for it, he’s doubled down, he’s tripled down. And JD Vance lectured Republicans to stop whining about the ad. They’ve all learned from Trump. Never admit a fuck up. Attack, lie, attack, lie. It’s worked for Trump. Republicans think it will work for them.
