Trump Is The Ugly American. The Fearful American

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/20

Fascists and authoritarians destroy the truth and erase history. Because fascists and authoritarians are afraid of truth and history. Trump wants to erase slavery from American history. Also, the White House launched a TikTok account - continuing his middle finger to the rule of law. But he knows Congress won’t do a damn thing about it. Hosted on Acast.

Please Understand What Happened Yesterday

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/19

I get that most Americans don’t pay real attention to the news every day, but what happened yesterday at the White House was utterly frightening. And most Americans don’t understand this. The most important European leaders changed their plans at the last minute to come to DC to hold the toddler’s hand so he wouldn’t make a big mess. Hosted on Acast.

You STILL Don’t Get It? Trump Stands With Putin,...

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/18

So many people STILL don’t understand Trump’s behavior on the war in Ukraine. So many people STILL thinking that Trump keeps getting played by Putin. No. Trump is not being played by Putin. Trump is doing exactly what he wants because Trump works for Putin, Trump is on Putin’s side. Once you accept that scary truth, everything that’s happening now makes sense. Hosted on Acast.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/15

This must never happen here. Not here. Not in America. The military is not used here against our own citizens. That happens in authoritarian countries. Not here. Trump wants it to happen here. We must not normalize it. We must never accept it. Plus, my conversation with Gen Z-er Rachel Janfaza Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s Trench Warfare To Preserve Truth. You in?

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/13

Trump’s greatest legacy is the destruction of truth. Always has been. And we’re seeing it play out every day - lying about election results, jobs numbers, his approval rating, crime statistics, and now he’s moving to lie about American history. We can’t give up. We have to engage in hand to hand combat to defend the truth. We can’t give up. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We’re ALL Going To Have To Say No To The Tyrant

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/12

BTW, the actual data, you remember what data is, right? The actual data shows DC isn’t even in the top 20 of most violent cities in America. Also, it’s time for the military, law enforcement, and government officials to say no to Trump. Their duty is to defend the Constitution, the law, not a mad king. We all are going to have to say no.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/11

It’s easy, so easy, to get down. Because every day he says and does 1,000 cruel, un-American fascist things. Like today. Threatening to take over DC. But don’t get down. Resolutely call out what he’s doing today, and then stay the course. Be a happy warrior. Pace yourself. Democracy will win. Fascism will lose. Hosted on Acast.

Once Again America, Choose: Trump Or The...

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/08

It’s been true from when he was first elected that Americans cannot support both Trump AND the Constitution. It’s impossible. Because Trump is utterly lawless and attacks the Constitution every single day. His attack on the census and the apportionment process is just the latest example of this basic truism that you can’t support both Trump AND the Constitution. Hosted on Acast.

I sat down with human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid. We generally agree on what ails the Democratic Party, we disagree on some economic issues, and we most definitely disagree on the Israel/Palestinian issue.

How Dangerous & Compromised Donald Trump Truly Is

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/06

I sat down with whistleblower and author Lev Parnas, to discuss all things Trump. Lev has unique insight, having been on the inside of the Trump machine. He’s seen it all. And then he turned on it all and is doing all he can now to defeat Trump and help preserve our democracy. Fascinating conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/05

Turn on Fox News right now and they’re STILL going off on the whole Sydney Sweeney “thing.” The right is trying so damn hard to keep whatever this culture war is over genetics and a pair of jeans alive. This is what the right does. With ANY potential culture war. I used to do some of it. Democrats shouldn’t ignore it. They need to call it out. Hosted on Acast.

Help Texas Democrats Fight Back

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/08/04

Because Texas Republicans are engaging in undemocratic cheating, Texas Democrats have fled the state, to deny Republicans a quorum. They need are support. This will cost them financially and they could get arrested. We must stand with them and support them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Such an important conversation I had with political scientist @rachelbitecofer. We discussed what Democrats must do to actually win elections. Hint: It’s not about running positive stuff about our candidates, it’s about attacking Republican candidates. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

MAGA Would Detain, Disappear, & Deport Jesus

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/07/31

Hundreds of cases are happening every day in this country of good people, with no criminal records, contributing to their communities, being detained, disappeared and eventually deported. People here who’ve claimed asylum, people here under protective order. Trump has decided that America must be a very cruel place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Four innocent people dead in a shooting in NYC, and right away everybody pounces to give their own political take, to score their own political points. Both sides, all sides do it. And it’s wrong. And it doesn’t help. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2025/07/28

Cut thru all the bullshit…all the supposed “trade deals” Trump is supposedly cutting…if any of it is real, and that’s a BIG if, the bottom line truth is this: his tariffs will make everything you buy more expensive. They are tax increases on you and me. Awesome, huh? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

2025/07/25

World leaders come here and suck up to him, media companies cave to him, universities settle with him, and everyone else coddles him. When he lies, nobody ever corrects him. Fed Chair Jerome Powell yesterday reminded us all how to handle a pathological liar and a bully. You punch him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/07/24

I sat down with former national security official Miles Taylor to discuss the very real threats at home and from abroad that this country faces with Trump in the White House. Threats Miles also knows about personally, as Trump called out Miles by name in April and ordered the DOJ to investigate Miles for treason. Ridiculous, yes. But scary, and unprecedented.
