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.
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 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.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
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. Such interesting insight into what Latino voters prioritize, how they're disappointed in both parties, and what the Democratic Party needs to do to appeal to this demographic. Hosted on Acast.

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.
I will continue to say that because Democrats dropped the ball for so long on immigration enforcement, Trump got elected again. But Trump, the bad person he is, has taken immigration enforcement to a dark, ugly, cruel, extreme, lawless, un-American place. And because Trump had done this, we're gonna see a blue tsunami this November like we've never seen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
So we found out yesterday from the Epstein files that in 2018, Steve Bannon told Epstein that the 25th Amendment should be invoked against Trump. Back then. So utterly at odds with everything Bannon says publicly about Trump. And it reminded me and disgusted me once again, that Trump and everyone in Trump's orbit lies. All the time. They don't give a damn about the truth. We just don't speak enough about this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Yes, I'm a Democrat for now, but in most ways, I'm still politically homeless. And that's always obvious whenever I say or post something critical of both sides. Whenever I do that, undoubtedly, the vast, vast majority of people on each side refuse to accept the criticism of their side. We gotta be better than that. Hosted on Acast.

I sat down with a dear friend & work colleague of mine who told me the story of how her brother went down the Trump rabbit hole, how it impacted her relationship with him so much that when he suddenly died of a heart attack a few weeks ago, she and her mother were not allowed to even attend his funeral. A story we all, to varying degrees, can relate to in this Trump era. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Yes, Pam Bondi was a disgrace yesterday. And an embarrassment. And yes, there is a HUGE Epstein files coverup happening. But Pam Bondi isn't responsible for the coverup. Donald Trump is. Bondi is just carrying out his orders. Which is why it's so disingenuous for MAGA talkers to go after Bondi, but not Trump. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I engage with MAGA voters every single day. And I've said this before, but most MAGA voters will have to feel real pain before they might even turn away from Trump. Economic pain because of Trump's tariffs, or economic and community pain because of his cruel deportations. A small MAGA town in Idaho is feeling that pain right now. It'll be interesting to see what they do. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Pretty much everything that ICE is doing is the opposite of what Cops try to do. Law enforcement is trained to de escalate situations, ICE purposely escalates situations. Cops work on trust, ICE works on fear. Cops follow the Constitution, ICE ignores the Constitution. Which again is why ICE must be abolished. Now. Hosted on Acast.

Trump has succeeded politically when the American people are afraid, angry, and resentful. Like all successful demagogues, Trump's entire political messaging has always revolved around hate, fear and division. And that messaging was on full display last night during the Super Bowl's halftime show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Every day, he does things to further divide this country and further divide the world. Every day, he endangers the lives of Americans and he endangers the lives of people around the world. Every single day. And it is only getting worse. He is a clear & present danger to this country and the world. He must be removed from power. Immediately. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Yes, he lies as he breathes, he divides every time he speaks, and he spreads hatred & cruelty every single day, and all of that should hurt him politically, but Trump can't escape how badly he's messed up the economy: prices up, job growth down, manufacturing jobs hemorrhaging, inflation creeping up…the data continues to pour in month after month. And Americans feel this economic pain. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Trump did it again yesterday. He hurled ugly, sexist insults at a female White House reporter. This time it was CNN's Kaitlan Collins. And once again, not one other reporter in the Oval Office said a damn thing. Cowards. Also, some more scary attacks on free speech coming from DHS. Hosted on Acast.

PAXIS, the one stop “know your rights” AI generated app is about to hit the streets. To help immigrants & citizens know their rights, know what they can and cannot do, when ICE approaches. We discuss the tool with one of its engineers. Also, Trump says he wants to take over the elections process. Believe him Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
An earthquake of a political upset down in Texas over the weekend. A Democrat won in an overwhelmingly Republican district. Why? Easy. All you had to do is look at what those masked federal thugs are doing every single day. That's why. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
