Hey folks,

It’s cold as hell and there’s no warm-up on this one. Joe Walsh and I went straight into ICE, power, cowardice and what happens to a country when cruelty becomes policy — from the chaos unfolding in Minnesota to J.D. Vance’s dishonest cleanup tour, and the deeper rot inside ICE and the Republican leadership defending it.

Some moments you don’t want to miss:

  • [00:01:07] Joe Walsh lays out his “Hope Not Fear” tour — bringing MAGA, left, and everyone in between into the same room for real conversations

  • [00:05:26] Joe explains why he cut ties with Michael Cohen — and why unanswered questions matter

  • [00:07:35] We confront the detention of a five-year-old by ICE and why this moment feels morally different

  • [00:14:10] A blunt warning about white Christian nationalism and who’s actually driving the Republican Party right now

  • [00:19:58] The fight over “Abolish ICE” — politics vs. morality, and what winning actually requires

Joe and I don’t always agree on everything — but we definitely agree on this: what’s happening right now is un-American, and silence isn’t an option. If you value honest, uncomfortable conversations that don’t pull punches, help me keep them going.
