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.

Hey, it's Friday. I am, good morning, everybody. I'm so damn glad. It's Friday. Don't know about you. I know about me. I'm wiped.

Been another long, long week. Hope you've all had a good, good week. And I wish everybody nothing but the best when it comes to this weekend.

Mean that.

I know it's tiring when you follow this shit.

When you stay informed, when you try to stay engaged, I know it can be exhausting.

You've got to live your lives.

You've got to live your lives. You've got to live your lives.

We're not on this, we're not on this planet, this rock for an eternity. So you've got to live your lives as well. But we have a fight right now at this point in our lives to save this

democracy and the rule of law. A couple things I want to get

off my chest this Friday. We'll get to those issues in a moment. First, though, a final clip from my

conversation with seven good people sitting around a kitchen table.

Again, this week we've been showing you content from a conversation I had in the western suburbs of Chicago,

Glen Ellen to be specific, seven people sitting around a kitchen

table, four Harris voters, one Trump voter, two voters who voted for neither Trump or Harris.

Seven of us sitting around a table. Part my, right, getting out there every week talking

to the American people. Today, can we stay together? That fundamental question. Can this great

experiment in democracy stay together? Can this great experiment in democracy stay together?

Can this country quite literally stay together?
