It’s never easy to talk with people who don’t agree with you; and yet, problems cannot be solved without the search for common ground. Joe Walsh is a former U.S. Congressman, a former Presidential candidate, a radio host, and a man whose personal mission is to LISTEN. With WHITE FLAG with JOE WALSH, he surrenders the urge to fight and strives to find a path to unite, not divide. He talks with notable people that have vastly differing viewpoints from his own. These are passionate conversations with an aim to find compromise... and, in turn, a better America.
The White Flag with Joe Walsh podcast is a captivating and thought-provoking show that offers listeners the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations from various political perspectives. With his skills as a former right-wing radio show host, Walsh draws listeners in and creates an intimate atmosphere that makes them feel like they are a part of the conversation. One of the best aspects of this podcast is Walsh's ability to let guests speak freely and share their views, even if they differ from his own. This fosters a sense of open dialogue and allows for a deeper understanding of different viewpoints. Additionally, Walsh's interviews with guests like Amy McGrath and Wajahat Ali bring fresh perspectives and insights to the table, providing valuable information for listeners.
However, there are a couple of aspects that some listeners may find off-putting. The first is the occasional "whining" on Friday episodes, where Walsh shares personal grievances about not having a political home anymore. While it is understandable that he may feel frustrated by his party's implosion, some listeners may find it tiresome to hear these complaints repeatedly. Additionally, as a self-proclaimed independent looking for new perspectives, one might find it frustrating that Walsh primarily focuses on conversations with individuals who are on either side of the political spectrum but does not often feature voices from the middle ground.
In conclusion, The White Flag with Joe Walsh podcast is worth listening to for its engaging conversations and the opportunity to hear diverse viewpoints. While there may be some aspects that could be improved upon (such as reducing personal grievances), overall, this podcast offers valuable insights into American politics and encourages listeners to challenge their own thinking. Whether you align more with Walsh's conservative background or lean towards progressive views, this podcast provides an important space for civil discourse amidst today's politically polarized climate.
I sat down with Susan Rice, former Ambassador to the United Nations and former National Security Advisor to discuss the growing authoritarianism in this country - what it is and what we must do to defeat it. A sobering, fascinating, but also hopeful conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I'm serious. He's a cheat, a serial adulterer, a rapist/sexual abuser, a felon, a traitor, a psychopath, an ignoramus, a bully, a fascist…I could go on and on. But on top of all the bad that Trump is, would it really matter to the American people if it turns out Trump is a pedophile too? Does personal character matter anymore? Hosted on Acast.

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.
Trump lies as he breathes, and generally, his lies work. Lots of people, way too many, believe his lies - the “2020 stolen election” lie, the “they're eating cats & dogs” lie. But his lies about the economy & affordability won't work. Because we all LIVE the economy. We KNOW how much things cost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Yes, the Democrats caved. Their voters just had one simple demand of them - FIGHT. And meet this moment. And they couldn't even do that. But more importantly - the traitor in the White House pardoned all his Jan 6th co-conspirators. His latest attempt to rewrite and erase Jan 6th. Despicable. Hosted on Acast.

Musk, Rubio, and Trump dismantled USAID, without any warning, in a matter of months. The results of this action have been catastrophic. Hundreds of thousands of people have died, 2/3's of those who've died are children. That death toll will continue to grow. Public man mad death, all courtesy of Musk, Rubio, and Trump. And Congress & the Supreme Court did nothing to stop them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I sat down with Miles Bruner, a long time GOP fundraiser and strategist, who, finally after a ten year struggle, publicly walked away from his livelihood and publicly left the Republican Party. It's never easy, it takes courage, and it should always be applauded. Super interesting conversation Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Yesterday was a total repudiation of Donald Trump. A total repudiation. In just one year, virtually every county in the country that voted yesterday shifted blue. But we resisters need to keep our foot on the gas. Because Trump is going to do everything he can do to cheat in and mess with the 2026 midterms. So we can't let up. We must keep growing.

The MAGA coalition is a motley, fragile crew of conservatives to white supremacists to Christian nationalists to everything in between. They've all needed each other and Donald Trump has been a magnet for them. Is the coalition beginning to fracture? Is it too late to fracture? Has MAGA made their bed? Hosted on Acast.

Donald Trump is a fascist, and every day he's engaging in acts of fascism. And you know what? The American people, more and more, are paying attention. And the American people, more and more, don't approve of what Trump is doing. Don't like fascism. And people are speaking out and spreading the word. We gotta keep it up. Hosted on Acast.

Another fascinating, challenging conversation with Ilana Redstone, author of “The Certainty Trap,” on what it's gonna take for us to reasonably work thru & overcome the heated & divisive hand to hand political battles we're bombarded with today. Are we up for the challenge? The jury is out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I sat down with Richie Logis, Founder of Leaving MAGA, a support group for folks looking to walk away from publicly supporting Trump. It's a topic I know all too well. How to best engage with our MAGA friends and family members? Is it possible to help folks see the light? Interesting conversation Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
All government powers in this country are limited by the Constitution. The Constitution is our framework. Well right now, the Constitution doesn't even matter. We have a president who is raising taxes because his feelings are hurt, nobody stops him, even though the Constitution makes clear he has no power over tariffs. None. But he does it anyway. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Should the President of the United States provide disaster relief to states based on their politics? On whether it's a blue or a red state? Crazy question, right? But that's what Trump is currently doing. Providing federal disaster relief to states that voted for him and denying relief to states that didn't vote for him. MAGA, MAGA. Hosted on Acast.

I sat down this week with Alisyn Camerota and Dave Briggs on their “Sanity Podcast” to discuss how life is for me as a four month old Democrat, what the No Kings protests mean, what the protests must lead to, and why basic human decency is gonna carry the day in 2026. Cool conversation. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
By Friday, the entire East Wing of the White House will be gone. Completely gone. Trump does not have the authority to be doing what he's doing. Yet he's doing it. It's wrong. And it should be stopped. Is there not one Republican in Washington, DC with the courage to say something? Is there not one? Not one willing to risk their political career by doing the right thing? Not one? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
So Donald Trump is demanding the federal government pay him $230 million for all the trouble he went thru defending himself against various prosecutions. Yes, it's u heard of. And yes, it would be one of the greatest acts of public corruption, but can you really blame Trump for thinking he should demand all that money? I mean, his enablers have taught Trump for years that he can get away with anything, that he will never be held accountable for anything bad or corrupt he does Hosted on Acast.

I looked at those images yesterday of the demolition of the White House and I got the same pit in my stomach I got when I watched on TV the attack on the Capitol on January 6th. It felt like a desecration. It was personal. The White House isn't his. It's ours. And he's destroying it on his own because his enablers are allowing him to. Makes me so sad. Hosted on Acast.

Over 7 million Americans came out and rallied on No Kings Day this past Saturday. And there were no arrests. And no violence. Republicans had been building up the potential violence calling the rally goers “Antifa” and “terrorists.” But because the day was entirely peaceful, the day after, Republicans were forced to sing a much different tune.

I sat down with Mike Madrid, long time political strategist, to discuss where we're at politically right now, what the data really says about both Trump and the Democrats, and what Democrats need to do to be successful in 2026 and beyond. Informative conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Republicans keep calling it a “hate America” rally. Bullshit. They say that because they're partisan. They say that because they're scared of this No Kings movement. To reaffirm that founding American principle that we are not ruled by kings here is to reaffirm absolute LOVE for America. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I sat down with Mike Brock, my go to observer and moral truthsayer for these unprecedented political times in which we are living. And yes, there is plenty to be afraid of. There's a fascist in the White House and a long line of fascist capitulators bending the knee to him. But our fear must not paralyze us. That's what all tyrants want. Our fear must motivate us to act. To resist. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A historic ceasefire in the Middle East yesterday, and Trump uses the occasion to lie, to hurl personal insults at his predecessors, and to make the whole day about himself. Joe Biden, on the other hand, congratulated Trump and put the focus on Israel and the Palestinian people. Biden did what real men do. Trump did what cowards do. Hosted on Acast.

This upcoming Saturday, October 18th, is expected to be the largest peacetime protest in American history. Millions & Millions & millions & millions of Americans taking to the streets to organically reaffirm that basic American principle that we don't have Kings here. Yet the Trump administration is calling No Kings “Antifa.” And a “terrorist” movement. And just a George Soros “hate America” thing. Why are they saying all this? Because they're scared.

Trump didn't win it. And he didn't deserve to win it. Because he's decorated war on the people of the United States, because he's trying to imprison his political opponents, because he's a fascist. And the Nobel Peace Prize should never go to a fascist. Especially a fascist who was begging for the award. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I sat down with April Ajoy, someone who grew up in the Christian nationalism movement, and is now doing everything she can to help people understand the movement, understand how it goes against everything Jesus taught, and understand the real threat it is to America. Fascinating conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I sat down with Rev Benjamin Cremer, to discuss the growing threat of Christian nationalism, what it is, where it comes from, and why we need to take it seriously. We also discussed how what this country is doing to immigrants right now is antithetical to Jesus's teachings. Have a listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
He's trying to send troops to both Chicago and Portland as he continues his militarization of this country. It's wrong, it's unconstitutional, it's un-American, but why is he doing it? Why?

Armed, masked agents from our federal government raided an entire apartment complex in Chicago the other night, breaking down doors, throwing American citizens out into the streets, and detaining them for hours. The very thing the British monarchy did to us so many years ago. The very thing our founders rebelled against and sought independence from. And it's happening in America again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The establishment and the leadership of my new political party just doesn't get this moment. Just doesn't understand the unique threat we face right now. So…it's time for the Democratic Party establishment to get out of the way. And it's time for the Democratic Party grassroots to lead the way. Fascinating conversation with long time Democratic consultant & strategist, Julie Roginzky. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The stories are endless…American citizens being grabbed and swept up in these cruel, senseless ICE raids and detentions. An American citizen working on a construction site was detained twice by ICE in four weeks. And held for hours each time. He's now suing the government. Good. But his story, sadly, is not unique. Not at all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Yes, it was unserious, yes, it was performative, and yes, it was a major national security risk. But the reason Donald Trump & Pete Hegseth summoned 800 of our top military commanders from around the world to all meet at a base outside DC today was much more serious, and much, much more frightening. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
For the umpteenth time, this should never happen in America. This is what our founders feared. And in the year 2025, it's exactly what Trump is doing. Putting the military on our streets against the American people. We must not allow it. He should be taken to court immediately, and we all should protest like we've never protested before.

Trump made very clear during the 2024 election that if elected, he was going to go after his political opponents. Retribution was going to be his focus. And that's what he's doing. And he's taken over the Justice Department to do it. And we can blame Trump and his enablers for allowing this fascism to happen. But the real fault lies with the American people. Trump said he would do this but too many Americans just didn't care Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
As always, political violence is ALWAYS wrong. And…masked agents grabbing people off of our streets and disappearing them into unmarked vans is ALSO wrong. And un-American. We are telling people from around the world to stay away from America. Shame on us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I've only been a Democrat a few months. I sat down with two long time Democrats. Turns out we disagree on plenty of policy, Israel/Gaza included. But we listened to each other and had a conversation. Not a debate, a conversation. And btw, we agreed that policy differences right now are ok. All that matters right now is preserving democracy. Hosted on Acast.

Watching that press conference yesterday, with the world's biggest idiot talking about autism & vaccines & Tylenol & pregnancy, I actually thought for the first time in a long, long time that we're completely fucked and there's no coming back from this. Woke up this morning, wondering the same. We put a horrible human being in the White House. Democrats don't understand how it happened, and Republicans don't give a f#ck. Hosted on Acast.

We're fighting a monster. The antithesis of the social contract is sitting in the White House. Being tolerant and respectful means fighting back against his intolerance and disrespect. Being informed means keeping the lines of communication open with everyone in our community, then sharing the facts we learn with others. And staying engaged means resisting with everything we've got. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
