F*ck Silence with Joe Walsh

After months and months of waiting, what's next for Joe Walsh is finally here. I'm excited about this announcement.

It's sometimes said that we get the government that we deserve, which raises the question, "What responsibility do we the people bear for our divided nation?" I try to answer that question in this episode.

In a party where once seemingly good leaders have again and again beclowned themselves in an attempt to appease Trump and his followers, Rep. Paul Gosar may be one of the more bizarre clowns in the circus.

I'm not a Republican. I'm not a Democrat. But I am working against the party that's the bigger threat to America. In this episode, I explain which party that is and why I believe that. 

President Biden announced sweeping new vaccine mandates for federal employees as well as business owners during a press conference yesterday. Some of it I like, but some of it makes me very uncomfortable.

When I was still working in conservative media, I was confused when I would otherwise smart talk show hosts defend Trump when I knew that they didn't believe what they were saying.  I tried to understand why they did this, and I now understand why it's something that I cannot do. 

I've said a lot in the last week about President Biden's handling of Afghanistan, and a lot of people have wondered if I would be saying the same things to Donald Trump is he was still the president. In this episode, I'll tell you exactly what I'd be saying to Trump.

Watching Afghanistan fall to the Taliban after 20 years of wasted blood and treasure feels like a kick to the gut.

Andrew Cuomo's resignation really doesn't tell us much about Andrew Cuomo. But there are some lessons that we should learn from this ugly situation.

I'm often asked why I lost my radio show not just once, but twice, and the answer is the same -- I was paid to tell people what I believed, and I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

The founding of America was one of history's greatest advancements of freedom. And is Joe Walsh a reincarnated  American Revolutionary War soldier?

Six years ago, there's not a single person who could have even remotely accurately predicted what we've experienced. We're living in a time with no precedent, and no one knows what's going to happen next.

Heading into the 2022 mid-term elections, crime is going to be big issue for both parties. One party understands that and knows how to use the issue to win votes. The other party needs to figure it out really quickly.

Tucker Carlson began promoting a new lie about January 6 this week on his FOX News show. He's now suggesting that the FBI was somehow involved in the insurrection. 

It's very easy for us to escape to our respective echo chambers. Conservatives retreat to FOX News while progressives take refuge at MSNBC. But when we do that, none of us will ever get any smarter.

There's a tendency among some Americans to want to simply ignore Donald Trump. They're relieved that they don't have to pay attention to him anymore, and it's just become very easy to act like what he's saying and doing now is inconsequential. That's hardly the case. He should not be ignored.

At this point, we don't need a poll or a survey to tell us what we already know about the base of the Republican Party -- they're crazy.

It's almost hard to comprehend that the entire base of the GOP has been entirely radicalized by Donald Trump, but it's true.

Why is FOX News so obsessed with the origins of COVID-19? I talk about that, and I answer the question, "Joe, what's up with your radio show?"

This week, Democrats moved ahead to investigate what happened on January 6, but at the same time, Republicans acted like it never happened.

I am a conservative. I ran for Congress as a conservative. I voted as a conservative when I served in Congress. I've held and promoted conservative ideas on the radio. But the Republican Party is no longer a place for conservatives.

The suggestion that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump has now become widely accepted by GOP voters, and no one is more amused by that than Donald Trump himself.

The House Republicans are set to take a vote next week to strip Liz Cheney of her leadership position for one reason and one reason only — she refuses to believe the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. She insists on believing the truth, and the GOP is punishing her for it.

The biggest contrast after President Biden's first address to a joint session of Congress was just how unserious Republicans are compared to Democrats.

Every night, millions of people tune in to FOX News, and they're lied to by the hosts. This should matter to you.

Republicans spend a lot of time talking about "freedom" but it's become pretty clear over the last year that they have no idea what that word really means.

Just three months ago, a group of Americans committed an act of domestic terrorism at the U.S. Capitol, supported by President Trump, in an attempt to overturn the election. Don't let Trump or his accomplices in conservative media try to convince us that it was anything else.

As the trial of Derek Chauvin — the police officer charged in the death of George Floyd — opens this week, let's take a moment to revisit exactly what happened and how Floyd's death could have been avoided.

After years of increasing political tribalism, has America become too divided to ever become united again? Is it too late?

Time and time again, when the Republican Party should be standing up to condemn one of its own for something truly wrong and offensive, they respond with silence.

The Biden presidency is off to a pretty good start, but it shouldn't be controversial to suggest that the president should be holding regular press conferences. But it is. Why?

There's been a lot of debate recently about how we ought to think about our Founding Fathers, both what they wrote and who they were. So what should we do with them?

In response to the governors of Texas and Mississippi repealing their mask mandates and fully opening their states, President Biden described those decisions as, "Neanderthal  thinking." Of course, Republicans had to respond to that. 

It may not be what you want to hear, and it may not encourage you during these days, but it's true. Trump could be president again, and we need to be ready for that reality.

This is the dilemma of the Republican Party — it's very existence depends on whether it can tell its members the truth that they don't want to hear.

 We've reached a point in this country that all we want to do it is retreat into our own echo chambers and have our per-existing opinions confirmed ... and it's killing us.

The greatest task in the ongoing effort to rescue people from the creeping disease of Trumpism is to overcome the widespread, deep-seeded lies that are believed.

As we re-live the horror of January 6th through this impeachment trial, there may be a tendency to want to move on and move past. But a people that moves on from January 6th invites another January 6th.

There is a place where you won't hear about impeachment this week. It's a place where a lot of other things are talked about — immigration, big tech censorship, transgender bathrooms — but not impeachment. Where is that place? I talk about it on this episode.

All of the back-and-forth about Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene can be summed up very succinctly — Republican voters have been radicalized. That's the only explanation you need.

Three months after the election and less than two weeks into Joe Biden's presidency, as someone who is politically homeless, allow me to offer some unsolicited advice to Democrats.

Yes, the president incited a riot in an effort to overturn the results of the election, but no, Republicans in the Senate are not going to vote to convict him during an impeachment trial.

As Donald Trump prepares to leave the White House in disgrace, most Republicans don't see anything wrong with how he's behaved in the last several weeks.

It's being reported that Congressional Republicans are fearful to vote for Donald Trump's impeachment because they're concerned for their safety and the safety of their families. To all of them, I say,  "Welcome to the club." I've been here for a while.

Wednesday was a sad and tragic day. It was the culmination of over four years of lies from Donald Trump.

It may be a new year, but I'm not going to apologize for my language because the Republicans continue to embarrass themselves, all the way to the end of Trump's presidency.

There will be a big difference between how Democrats treat Joe Biden when he becomes president and how Republicans have treated Trump these part four years.

I served with Jim Jordan in Congress. We were good friends, and we fought the same battles together. But then Trump happened.

There are a lot of people who will be in shock on January 20th when they witness Joe Biden being sworn in as the next president, and for many people, the reality won't matter.

I wasn't an original Never Trumper. I voted for him in 2016 because I hadn't paid much attention to Trump before he decided to run for president. But since then, I've learned a lot about him. 

Hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters have bought the lie that the election was stolen from Trump. They still believe that he'll be president for four more years, and when Joe Biden is sworn in next month, these people are going to be very, very angry.
