Don’t Laugh At What You Saw & Heard Last Night....

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/18

Yes, Trump’s speech last night was 18 minutes of an angry old man yelling at us, lying to us, and trying to cover his ass. Yes, it was laughable. But that old man had been elected twice, and it’s up to all of us to, after we laugh at him, keep our heads down to do what we have to do to win in 2026. Because he and his people work everyday to try to cheat in the midterms. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down with media and political historian Brian Rosenwald to discuss what this political moment in America means right now, what we can learn from history, and what is the future of both of our political parties. Fascinating conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Personal Character MUST Matter. If It Doesn’t, Then...

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/16

I’ve said it often, but the beauty of Trump is that because he’s so bad, and so horrible, he’s forcing Americans to decide in real time what kind of country we want to be. And because Trump is utterly void of personal character, he’s forcing the American people to answer this question: Does character matter anymore? Well, does it? How we answer that question will had profound impact on our democracy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rob Reiner & his wife are stabbed to death by their adult son who has a long history of drug & mental issues, and Trump blames “Trump derangement syndrome for their killings.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/12

It’s too easy to say - Trump is finished, he’s a loser, he’s a lame duck, his cultish party is finally going to stand up to him. It’s all too easy to say, and we’ve been here too many times before. Trump, as long as he’s breathing, will be the leader of the Republican Party. And to win, Democrats must not hope Trump finally fades. Democrats must BEAT him. Hosted on Acast.

Will Donald Trump Pardon the DC Pipe Bomber? Plus,...

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/11

Mike and I dive headfirst into the madness — from finally catching the D.C. pipe bomber to wondering whether Donald Trump will reward yet another January 6th true believer with a pardon. We tear into the Cuellar pardon, Pete Hegseth’s never-ending circus at the Pentagon, and a House GOP so dysfunctional it makes my old Congress look sane. Buckle up — it’s a hell of a Friday, and you know I’m bringing the piss and vinegar. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/10

I sat down with Army veteran and extremism investigator Kristofer Goldsmith for a urgent conversation about the rise of right-wing extremism in America. Goldsmith details his years infiltrating neo-Nazi groups, the growing influence of Christian nationalism, and the dangers emerging inside U.S. institutions—including the military and ICE. It's a great conversation about what it will take to confront fascism and why going on offense is now essential to protecting democracy. Hosted on Acast. See

PAXIS Belongs to Us. Not Billionaires. Not Big Tech....

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/09

We launched PAXIS yesterday as the answer to the cruelty and lawlessness of ICE. In our first 24 hours, we raised over $7,000 to launch this new AI-powered, know-your-rights tool for immigrants (and citizens!) facing down ICE. We did it with no media outreach, no massive PR campaign, no big donors—just me talking to you, and you responding. Why? Because Trump can’t stop hundreds of thousands or even millions of us.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/08

These immigrants had done everything the right way, and gone thru the process legally, and were in line to go thru the final ceremony to become U.S. citizens, and they were grabbed and taken out of line. Because of the countries they came from. Horrible. But the only way we stop the cruel immigration enforcement going on right now is to all stand together, stay informed, and know what our rights are. This is how we defeat ICE. And the tool to do it is called PAXIS. www.paxis.app Hosted on Acast. See

I sat down with long time political strategist Steve Schmidt to discuss this political moment, what Democrats need to do to meet this moment, and if they meet the moment and take back the House or the Senate, what they must do once they’re back in power.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/04

Two days ago, Trump unleashed the ugliest, most bigoted stuff about brown and black immigrants. About Somalian-Americans. And his entire cabinet just sat there and nodded. Yesterday, he unleashed even uglier stuff about Somalian-Americans. And the Congress people and business executives just stood there and nodded. Silence is complicity. The entire Republican Party owns his racism, bigotry, and cruelty. So every election for the foreseeable future must be about him. Period. Hosted on Acast. See

The Perfect Democratic Candidate For Alabama

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/03

The Democratic Party needs to learn to back candidates who can win. And a Democrat who can win in NYC is not a Democrat who can win in Alabama. I sat down with Kyle Sweetser, who, like me, is a new Democrat and is running for the U.S. Senate from Alabama. He’s the perfect candidate for that state. Hosted on Acast.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/12/02

Sure, Pete Hegseth was utterly unqualified for his job. But who hired him? Same goes for Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard and so many more. But the person to blame for each of them doing the destruction they’re each doing is Trump. This administration isn’t in trouble because of the people around Trump. It’s in trouble because of Trump.

2025/12/01

Five days later, and we still don’t know why the Afghan National shot two National Guard members in DC last Wednesday. But that hasn’t stopped the Trump administration from collective punishment - from banning all immigration from Afghanistan and other 3rd world countries. It’s a policy driven by fear.

2025/11/28

Look, I think the person to blame for the shooting of the two National Guard members in DC is the shooter. But many want to blame the left or blame ALL migrants. Well, if you wanna play the blame game, blame Trump. For purely selfish reasons, he out the National Guard in DC and made them targets, sitting ducks. Hosted on Acast.

We Must Change The Way We Think (with Ilana Redstone)

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/11/26

I sat down with Professor Ilana Redstone (@irakresh) whose book, "The Certainty Trap," just came out. If you care about how dangerously divided this country is, you MUST read this book. Healing the divide goes well beyond civil discourse. To heal the divide, we must transform how we think. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Social Contract with Joe Walsh ·

2025/11/25

In most other “free countries,” citizens and politicians would be arrested for the much of the speech we take for granted here. Hate speech, bigoted speech, reckless speech, irresponsible speech. I’m always thankful to live in a country that allows all this speech. A country where, the answer to hate speech, isn’t to censor or outlaw it, but to defeat it/outshout it with other speech. As broken as our politics is in America, I’m still thankful this Thanksgiving that we still believe in free,

So DOGE is no more, DOGE has been officially disbanded. No spending cuts, no savings, just lives destroyed, America’s soft power crippled, hundreds of thousands killed, and your personal data stolen. People should be held accountable for all of this destruction. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cut through all the noise and all the distractions and the only thing that matters is this: The President of the United States yesterday publicly called for the execution of six members of Congress. That happened. That actually happened. He’s a clear and present danger to this country. He must be removed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
