  • We Need More People Like Joe

    I really admire Joe Walsh. I appreciate his humility and willingness to call out everything that’s wrong with our political system. He is willing to acknowledge his own role in bringing politics to the toxic place it is currently at. He works hard to undo the harm from his past. Too many of us have a hard time admitting our own roles in this. Joe is absolutely refreshing. I may not always agree with him, but that’s okay. I never question his love for his country and his desire to bring us all cl... more

    I don’t always agree but it’s good to know someone on the right is thinking somewhat critically. I’d love for you to consider that for many Americans this has never been a just country. Tolerance and respect is the key.

  • Liar

    Joe Walsh is a liar. He is not a Democrat, he is a former REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, radio host and venture capitalist who can’t get a real job, so he convinces substack subscribers to listen to this awful podcast so he can get ad reads.
