And while we’re at, sure Elon is a horse’s ass, but going after billionaires isn’t gonna help you politically. Also, I said 13 yrs ago the “two state solution” is an impossibility. It still is today.

Trump Believes America & Americans Are Garbage. You Own That MAGA

Trump Believes America & Americans Are Garbage. You Own That MAGA

Let me set the record straight on this whole "garbage" thing. It's not Biden, and it's not Harris who believes Americans are garbage. It's Trump. Trump is the one who said America is a garbage can. Trump is the one who called his political opponents "garbage" "evil" and the "enemy within." Trump is the one who said he would have the military go after his political opponents. So quit whining about what Biden said MAGA. You embrace Trump. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information

Because I used to be a Trump supporter and I think Trump's supporters are better than he thinks they are. And last night another Trump supporter proved it to me. She said she's done with him.

Two minutes. That's all I need here to tell the American people to wake the hell up to the threat that Trump is. Every American voter needs to be reminded about this threat when it comes to Trump. When he loses, he will not accept the loss. And he'll incite violence again. It's coming.

Whenever Trump says or does something bad, stupid, ignorant, corrupt, dishonest, bigoted, or lawless, it's never HIS fault. Trump's supporters will blame EVERYONE else but Trump. Which is weird. Because they don't do that with anyone else. They truly do enable Trump to be nothing more than a pathetic victim.

Transgenderism is an important issue. And yes, it can be a divisive issue. But that’s primarily because the right purposefully makes it a divisive issue. I know, because I come from the right, and I used to do that myself. The right calls transgenderism a mental illness and says transgender people should be eliminated. But there are more of us who understand, and I was late to this, that transgender men & women are every bit as real as straight and gay men & women. And we need to speak up.

147. “America, wake up.”

If you didn’t get it before, you better get it now: the base of one of America’s two major political parties is fully radicalized. And it was on full display this past weekend. And it’s not funny. It’s scary. Please subscribe to my podcast on Spotify & Apple.

Ayman Mohyeldin

Ayman Mohyeldin

I’m pro-Israel and believe the biggest obstacle to peace in the Middle East is Palestinian refusal to accept the existence of Israel. I wanted to sit down with someone who has a completely different perspective on the Middle East. Ayman Mohyeldin, host of the MSNBC “Ayman” is that person. We sat down. I listened. And learned a bunch. Tune in. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Jessica Piper

Jessica Piper

Jessica Piper is a former school teacher and educator, a former Democratic candidate in Missouri, and a passionate activist and advocate. In this conversation, Jessica and Joe sit down to discuss the wild and woolly politics surrounding so-called "school choice" (even the language is up for debate!), as they zoom in on a topic that, despite sharp divisions, is arguably the most consequential area of policy when it comes to caring for and preparing future generations of young Americans.

Conservative talker and former NYPD officer John Cardillo may not have much in common politically with Joe Walsh these days, but the two have always had a mutual respect and fondness for one another. In a warm and wide-ranging conversation, they discuss how they see each other's political journeys, whether there could be common ground on topics like Black Lives Matter, the highly politicized US Congress, how social media is not real, and much more.

"Don't write him off."

"Don't write him off."

Joe Walsh knows better than anyone how to spot what's coming in the Republican Party that DC insiders and cable news talkers are missing. So he's not kidding around when he delivers a sobering message about where he thinks the presidential election cycle is headed--and why we must stay vigilant.

"We've made progress. We got a hell of a lot further to go."

Joe comes from the world of right-wing media, so he knows better than most how willing those with influence over the Republican base are to peddle the narrative that the fight for racial justice is "nothing to see hear." And he also knows a thing or two about how the well-intentioned rhetoric on the left plays right into those peddlers' hands.

"Why am I no longer a Republican?"

"Why am I no longer a Republican?"

Democrats and Republicans used to debate the size and scope of government. But, as Joe explains, in today's GOP, the causes of limited government and individual liberty have all but gone by the wayside.

"As the Republican party shrinks, the Democratic Party can grow."

"As the Republican party shrinks, the Democratic Party can grow."

The Speaker's race has been decided and we're already entering into the 2024 election cycle. Joe highlights the juxtaposition of the Republican Party's utter chaos last week with the earnest attempt at bipartisanship by Biden-style Democrats. And, according to Joe, Republicans have handed Democrats a gift.

"Let's pressure our politicians to fix what's wrong at our border."

In the days leading up to the Christmas holiday, Joe has some thoughts about some people who perhaps are not going to be having a quite-so-Merry Christmas this year: The people suffering at our southern border, from desperate migrants to border patrol agents to the citizens of border towns and cities like El Paso who are overwhelmed. According to Joe, it's time to force our politicians in Washington act to end this humanitarian crisis.

"America's superheroes are the American people."

Joshua Zeitz is an historian, the author of five books, an academic and commentator, and a "Twitter buddy" of Joe Walsh's.

"Let me offer this advice."

"Let me offer this advice."

With speculation running rampant about who will be the next Speaker of the House, Joe leans on his bonafides as a former Member of Congress to offer some advice about the challenges ahead in next term of Congress.

"You've got a right to be an antisemite in America and I have a right to call you out."

Never one to shy away from controversy, Joe dives headfirst into the stormy waters of how we think about speech that offends us--what to do about it, how to respond to it, and why it's important to stand up for your foes' right to say things that you don't like.

Cliff Schecter is a longtime Democratic strategist and ad guy, an author and journalist, and a commentator.

Kyle Spencer is a multimedia journalist and author of "Raising Them Right: The Untold Story of America's Youth Movement and Its Plot for Power." Joe and Kyle sit down to hash out just how exactly some of these groups aimed at indoctrinating young people into the conservative movement came to be so powerful, how the perception that society is changing and the world is "dark and scary" made this landscape possible, and what might come next.

John Wing is a comedian and writer and all-around good guy--and also not someone whose path would have crossed with Joe's before our politics got turned up side-down (he's a liberal progressive! And a Canadian!). In this conversation, John and Joe cover a lot of ground, ranging from how both sides have a problem with "decreeing," rather than listening, how to square comedy and culture with our collective political life, and whether the conversation around "cancel culture" actually comes down to

As cultural institutions have changed and been transformed by the modern media and technology landscape, so too have political institutions and their corresponding parties. Joe sits down with longtime sports and political writer Charles Pierce, who traces his years covering politics (as sport!).

Gender identity has become another one of those issues that many people are afraid to talk about--if you're a decent person, you don't want to be lumped in with the ugly, hateful talking points of the far-right, but you may also not feel comfortable with how to feel about some of our rapidly changing cultural norms.

Barbara Comstock is one of the few Republicans in Congress who never wavered when the Trump era began--she opposed Trump even when so many colleagues refused to do so. Now, having lost her seat to a blue wave in 2018, Barbara joins Joe to reflect not only on her time in Congress, but also her time as a high-level Hill staffer, another part of her background that gives her a unique perspective on the current January 6 Committee Hearings and what they could mean for the country.
