Hey folks,
Back again with my favorite Republican-turned-Democrat friend, Joe Walsh for another weekly episode of Welcome to the Party, Pal!—and this one is a gut punch. We get deep into the Epstein files, Trump’s role, the MAGA crack-up, and what it means for a Democratic Party that actually has to deliver for people, not just tweet at them. If you care about accountability, democracy, and whether any of this still matters, tune in.
[00:01:07] I break down why Epstein isn’t a side show—it’s the new Wall Street crash: a story of elites abusing kids, avoiding prison, and reinforcing the belief that there’s one justice system for them and another for everyone else.
[00:07:00] Joe walks through how the right spent years screaming “release the files,” why Trump and J.D. Vance promised to expose the deep state, and how those same guys are now doing everything they can to keep the truth buried.
[00:13:10] We get into the Matt Gaetz reporting, Megyn Kelly’s wild “actually he’s not a pedophile” defense, and how far this movement will go to bend reality rather than admit what’s right in front of them.
[00:19:05] We connect Epstein to affordability, security, and corruption—how Trump protects rich predators, why independents are disgusted, and what Democrats must do to actually earn power and make it possible to buy a home on one income again.
[00:25:10] We zoom out to the coming crack-up of MAGA, float 2028 nightmare tickets (yes, including Tucker), and then land on something healthier: football, nature walks, taking a breath, and remembering you’re allowed to step away for a minute.
This episode is for anyone furious about impunity for the wealthy, exhausted by the gaslighting, and still stubborn enough to believe politics can be about protecting kids and improving real people’s lives. If you value honest, unvarnished conversations like this—where we name names, talk strategy, and still make space for a little humanity—help me keep them going.
