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 this week with Jason Estevez, Democratic candidate for Governor in Georgia. We talked about the Democratic Party, his campaign, what voters are looking for these days, and how Democrats can best be successful and win. He's a really cool dude. Real. Normal. What the party needs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Mark Rutte, NATO's Secretary General, was asked yesterday about Trump's public threat to kill every single person living in Iran. He wouldn't comment on it. Instead, he flattered Trump. How are bad men able to do bad things? Because good men are too afraid to act. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Every war Iran fights is a holy war, I mean, that's what that Islamist theocracy is and does. Well, it turns out our current administration is all about holy wars too, and it turns out, Trump launched his war against Iran as a holy war, in the name of white Christian nationalism. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This morning, he made a public threat to end Iranian civilization tonight. Anyone surprised by this has not been paying attention. We have a madman in the White House. And as long as my former party remain cowards, the madman will remain in the White House. The rest of us are called to resist him at every turn and defeat him and my former party in every election.

Trump's Easter morning post was deranged. And he once again threatened to commit war crimes. But it was just the latest thing this senile sociopath has done. And he continues to do things like this bcuz we hold him to such a low standard. We treat him like a child. The American people have to decide character matters again. And they may not decide that ever again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I sat down with long time venture capitalist and author & producer Ted Dintersmith to talk about all things education, AI, who needs to go to college and who doesn't, math, and his new book coming out next week “Aftermath: The Life-changing Math That Schools Won't Teach You.” Fascinating conversation.

We ARE dangerously divided. We're at the point now where most Americans hate the people they disagree with. Consider the people they disagree with to be their “enemy.” So…are we even willing to listen to each other anymore? I'm gonna take this next year to find out the answer to that question. It's called the Hope, Not Fear Project. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Not at all a surprise, Trump's war is a fucking disaster, he doesn't know what he's doing, he's looking for a way out, so he's going to claim “victory” and make the rest of the world clean up after his mess - make the rest of the world open up the Strait of Hormuz, the strait that he closed. This has been what Trump has done his entire life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Evil. What other word would you use to describe a President of the United States who denies most disaster relief requests from Democratic-led states. No other President has ever done that. No other President would ever think about doing that. Well, Trump is actually doing it. That's just good old fashioned evil. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A famous musician is going to tour all year this year to raise awareness against Trump. And another celebrity, upon learning this, called the musician a “douche.” That's messed up. Automatically thinking the worst of and hating the people we disagree with is why our democracy is teetering right now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I sat down with Rachel Janfanza, founder of The Up And Up, to see where Gen Z is at 14 months into Trump's presidency. Interesting conversation and a number of surprises. Gen Z does not care for either political party. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Every day, the military and Trump's advisors show him a 2-3 minute video of us blowing up shit in Iran. They show him a video, no written briefing of the war, of only the “good stuff.” They treat him like a child. This is so dangerous. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's the largest fee fraud in the history of America's immigration system…the U.S. government collected over $1billion in immigration fees and then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Nothing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We've not been here before. An American President who initiated a war and, because he lies as he breathes, the American people really don't know what's going on in this war. They have to go to sources other than the president to get at the truth. Obviously, this is a bad and dangerous place to be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I shout this from my mountain top every day - the most powerful animating force in my former political party is white, Christian nationalism. It's scary, it's dangerous, and it's utterly un-American. But our 15yr old Sec of Defense demanded it again yesterday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm a proud Zionist and a huge supporter of Israel. And whenever I say that, I get bombarded by ugly personal attacks from the left. And whenever I say I oppose Trump's war against Iran and I oppose Netanyahu, I get bombarded by personal attacks from the right. Is this now the norm? We can't just disagree? Hosted on Acast.

A group of Republican sheriffs, appointed to an immigration commission by Gov DeSantis for their hardline positions on immigration, just stunned DeSantis and Trump with their request. Stop deporting immigrants without criminal records. Further evidence that Trump has gone way, way too far on immigration enforcement. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Another person died in ICE custody over the weekend, that's 12 so far this year. This one was an Afghan National, here legally, who fought along side our troops in Afghanistan for over a decade. Why the fuck was he destined in the first place? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I'm hearing this more and more - those of us who oppose Trump's war against Iran are being accused by his MAGA cheerleaders of rooting against America, or hoping America loses this war. Which is ugly, partisan bullshit. Questioning one's patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down with political commentator & thinker Kurt Bardella to talk where things are at this midterm year. And it ended up to a large degree a conversation about what Democrats must do to succeed this year and beyond. Good stuff. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Speaker Johnson said Republicans have had just “a little hiccup” with Latino & Hispanic voters because of immigration enforcement. Wrong Mike Johnson. Masked federal thugs lawlessly roaming our streets terrorizing Latino & Hispanic folks is way, way worse than just a little hiccup. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
11 people have died so far this year in ICE detention centers. That follows 31 who died last year while being detained…a two decade high. Conditions are filthy, unsanitary, not at all appropriate for human beings. These care concentration camps. In America. Did I tell you this is happening right now in America? Hosted on Acast.

America right now is a county that no one wants to come to, vacation in, go to school in, work in, invest in, do business with, or become a citizen of. America right now is a country people fear and are disappointed in and disgusted with. MAGA, MAGA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The White House last night put out a video describing the war against Iran the way a 15yr old who plays video games non stop would describe the war. Also, a really bad February jobs report, and finally…the latest Pew Research study shows Americans view each other really, really poorly. Scary stuff. Hosted on Acast.

I sat down with longtime broadcast journalist Alisyn Camerota. We covered it all, her personal loss, how she chooses life every day to hep get through her grief, and how she's reinvented who she is and what's she's interested in. I've always been a big fan of Alisyn. Really loved this conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I sat down with author and award winning writer, director, and producer Mark Vicente to discuss his upcoming film “The Narcissist's Playbook.” The power of cults, leaders without conscience or empathy…an important topic for these times in which we are living.

I engage with hundreds of Trump's supporters every day. Been doing it for years. The amount of anger, disillusionment, and confusion I've heard from them these past 4 days since Trump attacked Iran had been pretty off the charts. This matters. It really does. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Trump is now on the side of the “deep state,” which is why he's keeping the Epstein files hidden. He's now on the side of “regime change,” which is why he's just launched another war. I understand if plenty of MAGA is confused & disillusioned right now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our elections are the heartbeat of our democracy. Destroy our elections, and our democracy dies. Trump has been at war against our elections since 2026. He's ramping up his war against our elections this year. So…what do you call someone who is at war against our elections? That's right. Our enemy. Hosted on Acast.

Border patrol in Buffalo dumped a blind Burmese refugee on a street corner a week ago. He went missing for five days. He was found dead two days ago. Shame on border patrol. Shame on ICE. This must not be what America is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I didn't watch his speech, I spoke at the State Of The Swamp event put on by defiance.org, Democrats as a whole should've boycotted the speech, he lied and stoked division, that's all he's capable of, so ignore last night, focus on November. November is what matters. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Heading into Trump's SOTU, a Republican Congressman spoke the truth: “I'm gonna do whatever the President wants.” Also, Trump owes the American people $175 billion. Dems should demand he pay up. And finally, 53 pages of FBI interviews & notes relating to allegations that Trump raped a 13yr old are missing. Just missing. Well, that's a big problem Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
ICE agents are arresting unaccompanied minors, trafficking them across state borders, and then losing them. Like 16yr old Sebastion. Also, young men think Trump is funny, and they think Democrats are wussies. This is a big problem. Also, there's ZERO reason to watch the SOTU tomorrow night. Hosted on Acast.

I sat down with one of our smartest political minds - political strategist Mike Madrid - who also is a leading authority on the Latino vote in America.

Woke up this morning to the news that Britain's former Prince Andrew had been arrested because of his involvement with Epstein. Also found out that South Korea just sentenced their former president to life in prison for temporarily imposing martial law. But here in America, we don't hold our former president accountable for trying to overthrow an election, and we're not holding our rich & powerful accountable for being involved with a notorious sex trafficker. Shame on us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
