I think we're officially live. It's good to see everybody. Welcome to another episode. Welcome to the party pal. I'm your host, Mike Nellis, joined as always with my co-host, former Tea Party congressman turned Democrat Joe Walsh. And today, we're going to have a highly controversial, let's say, we're going to have a tough but important conversation between Joe and I. Joe is currently shaking his head wildly because he's so excited about this. But Joe and I are in two very different places on Israel and A-PAC and the developments that have happened over the last couple weeks. Joe has been out there getting into some fights, I think, on the internet with some folks that I consider friends of mine. And I'm coming into this conversation in a place of curiosity, not judgment. I want to understand Joe a little bit better. So we're going to dive in and we're going to have a tough conversation about Israel. While we're getting started, do us a favor. Hit that heart button so more people join. If you're watching this on Substack or YouTube or wherever, subscribe to both me and Joe Walsh. Find us, seek us out. We're both two guys trying to make sense of what the hell's going on in this country today, and I think it's incredibly important. Joe, I'm going to start here because, and I'm going to try to use this share screen feature. Let's see if I can actually get this to work here. Let's see. Oh, my God. This is cool, Michael. I've never done this. We're going to try this. We're going to try this. All right. I'm going to share the screen. I'm going to zoom in. Good for you.

Don't let me.

It's not let me zoom. This is cool, Michael. I've never done this. We're going to try this. All right. I'm going to share the screen. I'm going to zoom in. Good for you.

Don't let me. It's not let me zoom in. Here we go. All right. I'm going to read you this post that you posted this morning because that's the place that I want to start here. This is from Congressman Joe Walsh this morning. My daily mantra, one, I'm a proud Zionist. Two,'ll defend the state of israel as passionately as i'll

defend the good old usa three i oppose trump's the legal war against iran and four i oppose netm yahoo

the left attacks me for one and two the right attacks me for three and four never a dull moment

i'll stop sharing the screen it's the first time i've ever used that on here that michael that's so

cool that you can do that.

I know. I wish you could play video.

Like, once we could get to a place where we can play video, it's going to be pretty sweet.

So you're saying people who are watching us right now, they saw that. They saw that. Yes, they saw that. Very cool. So let's start there. I want the word Zionist.

It's like a loaded term that I feel like doesn't mean anything anymore to people.

And I see a lot of people throwing it out all the time. word Zionist. It's like a loaded term that I feel like doesn't mean anything anymore to people.

And I see a lot of people throwing it out all the time. Explain to me in your words what being a

Zionist means to you. Before I do, I want to say two things to you. Thank you for doing this.

Because you and I could have a respectful

conversation about any fucking thing. And what we're going to do today models that. Second thing,
