America, we got to get back to doing what's expected of us as free citizens in this democracy.

That means being tolerant, being respectful, stay informed, and being engaged.

I'm former Congressman Joe Walsh. Follow me here and join the millions of Americans who are renewing their social contract with each other.

The social contract, it's on us.

Welcome, Joe Walsh, back with you this Wednesday evening.

Got a great show here in a moment with a great guest. Can't wait to talk to

Mark. Come on in, Barbara Elizabeth, Richard, everybody. Welcome. Jump right in. We're going to jump right

into this conversation. Remember, as always, I'll ask you all a couple things throughout.

Found those red hearts. I've been told that does something to the

algorithm that is good. And up there, you see it says Joe Walsh and Mark Mansour, a conversation

here, a substack live. If you press that button, you will be able to make sure you're

subscribed to both of us. And if you are a Joe Walsh subscriber,

make certain that you subscribe to my guest, Mark Mansour. Mark, welcome. By the way, Mark is a lawyer

by training, longtime Democrat activists, worked on a bunch of campaigns, an expert, I would say, on the subjects of politics and the law.

And he's got a great book out there called America's Fractured Politics.

Mark, welcome.

It's great to be here, Joe.

Thank you for the introduction.

Well, you know, from one guy here, I always love to start this way, former Tea Party guy who's now been a Democrat for two months.

It's always good to talk to a long-time committed Democrat.

We will get into what my new party, your longtime party, needs to do to defeat my former

party.
