Ahead of Thanksgiving, Joe reflects upon Nancy Pelosi's tenure as the leader of the Democratic Party, giving thanks that she was there when Donald Trump was president while previewing what could come next.

John Wing is a comedian and writer and all-around good guy--and also not someone whose path would have crossed with Joe's before our politics got turned up side-down (he's a liberal progressive! And a Canadian!). In this conversation, John and Joe cover a lot of ground, ranging from how both sides have a problem with "decreeing," rather than listening, how to square comedy and culture with our collective political life, and whether the conversation around "cancel culture" actually comes down to consequences.

Charlotte Clymer is an activist, writer, and an outspoken advocate for trans rights issues. In this conversation, Joe and Charlotte tackle some of the toughest issues around the trans rights space--including bathrooms, transgender athletes, and more. Along the way, they clear up quite a few misconceptions and Joe makes a surprise White Flag first!

Nina Turner is a fierce advocate, educator, and a prominent Democratic activist. Even though she and Joe come from totally different backgrounds and anchor themselves to disparate worldviews, they sit down and tackle civilly one of the most polarizing issues of our day: Whether the United States should enact reparations for slavery.

As cultural institutions have changed and been transformed by the modern media and technology landscape, so too have political institutions and their corresponding parties. Joe sits down with longtime sports and political writer Charles Pierce, who traces his years covering politics (as sport!). Pierce offers a fresh take on how we got here--and where we're headed--especially amidst a national political alignment that's seeing members of one tribe shifting allegiances to the other.

With more bad news and worse news everyday--and with the very real sense that democracy is hanging by a thread--Joe tackles the idea of self-care in the tumult and despair of the 24-hour news-cycle, imploring his listeners to find a balance between staying in the fight and taking much-needed breaks.

In this election-year season of October Surprises, Joe reflects on a few of those, then gets down to some "real talk" about the need to put country before party and reject tribalism when it comes to calling it like you see it.

Conservative thinker Jazz Shaw, a former fellow traveler of Joe Walsh's, is an editor and writer at HotAir.com. He joins Joe to hash out where and how each man's lines in the sand get drawn when it comes to assessing the threat of the two major parties, respectively. They find a thing or two to agree on, but ultimately are left with far different conclusions over where the greater threats to democracy lie today, and what's a cult and what's not.

Olivia Troye is a career national security expert whose professional life was upended in August of 2020 when she resigned from her White House post and began to speak out against the former administration. Along the way, Olivia happened to become good friends with Joe Walsh. In this conversation, the two talk about her time in the White House (she's served in three administrations), how you have to be wired to make it as a career national security professional, whether ambition is blinding today's Republicans, and more.

Midterm elections are less than two months away--with mail-in voting beginning in some places just a few days from now--so for the second time in a week, Joe feels compelled to explain to Democrats exactly what they're missing when it comes to reaching out to and connecting with the American electorate, writ large. The problem is not just misinformation or right-wing media or bad governors--it's a failure to connect person-to-person in communities in every corner of this country. Ahead of November, getting on message is crucial with so much at stake.
