The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/09/15

Most of the biggest voices on the right, in both the media and elected office, have been blaming “them” for last week’s killing. “They” did it. These same voices are declaring a “war on the left.” This is divisive, dangerous stuff. If it’s civil war they want, then quit hiding behind “they.” Just say it. Hosted on Acast.

2025/09/12

Political violence is different, because it’s an attack on our founding principles. Charlie Kirk should be alive, but Charlie Kirk is no martyr. Donald Trump is the most divisive political figure in our country’s history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The American People Need To Grow Up

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/09/11

Yet another act of political violence again yesterday. And yet again, we all have to choose. Further divide this country, or try to heal the divide in this country. Don’t look at Trump to do any healing. He’s incapable. This is on us. As it should be. We have to choose. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Every day, he tells us. He puts troops on the streets, he attacks blue states and blue cities, he threatens to intimidate voters, he puts election deniers in charge of election security, and he says he’ll just oversee the elections himself.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/09/08

He really is the mad king, and every day he lashes out at private individuals, private companies, freedom, the free press, and the free market economy. And his daily use of the powers of his office to lash out isn’t funny. It’s authoritarianism. And it’s un-American. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here Comes the Pain

2025/09/06

The consequences are here. The jobs report Friday was horrendous, and it’s only going to get worse. And none of this was necessary. Our economy was roaring before January 20, 2025. Here’s what’s so unique about what’s happening right now: Trump is SINGLEHANDEDLY destroying our economy. This is ALL on him. He inherited the strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And ALL BY HIMSELF, he’s fucked it up.Elections really do have consequences. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for

There’s really no other way to explain it. Trump, Republicans and their media cheerleaders promised for years that the Epstein files were the mother of all deep state scandals. But now? Never mind, it’s just a hoax, they say. They’re covering up for men who raped underage girls. No other explanation makes sense. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Christian nationalism is an utterly un-American theology, but it’s alive and well in America, and it has a profound impact on our politics and way of life. I sat down with Tim Whitaker, founder of the New Evangelicals, and who’s made it his mission to expose Christian nationalism, to discuss what it is and why it’s so antithetical to America.

What Resistance Looks Like

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/26

Trump announced yesterday he’s firing a member of the Fed’s board of governors. Only one problem: He doesn’t have the AUTHORITY to fire her, and she came out last night and said she ain’t going anywhere. That’s resistance. Also…the messaging of my new political party still sucks too damn much. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Trump over the weekend demanded that Chris Christie be investigated, NBC & ABC have their licenses revoked, and the Governor of Maryland loses federal funding for a bridge disaster. Why? Because Trump said they were all mean to him. It’s not funny. It’s scary. And so a wrong. And we must no normalize this behavior. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
