Summary

Former Republican congressman and Tea Party advocate, Joe Walsh discusses his realizations about Trump and how he has been dissed by the MAGA powers in the GOP. He started “Center Street Pac” to help elect any politician devoted to putting country over party, in service of freedom. Joe has a podcast of his own, “White Flag with Joe Walsh” where he talks with progressives as well as GOD folks willing to discuss what has happened to the United States. Joe and I discuss Twitter, free speech, and libertarianism, and agree we all need to lower the temperature and get more people talking together to each other. Our current system is broken with dark money and bad actors manipulating the media and politics. So it is a fascinating important conversation that offers some ideas and directions for hope.

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Dr. Stephen Hassan with another episode of the Influence Continuum, and I'm particularly
0:09.3	excited today to have Joe Walsh with me. Joe, we first met when we were doing a documentary
0:17.5	called The Game Is Up. I think Melissa Joe Peltier did that. And I fell in love with you,
0:24.0	honestly. I was like, cool dude says it the way he means it. And I'm just going to read for my
0:31.1	audience a little bit more about you. You are a former Republican congressman from Illinois, and you were involved with the
0:40.3	Tea Party movement. Remember that. And what else? You, a former Republican candidate for president

1:07.0	I'm going to ask you why the title in a minute.
1:10.1	But I also want to really tell my listeners about your PAC called Center Street Pack,
1:16.2	and it's an organization dedicated to helping elect Republicans, Democrats, and Independents
1:22.9	who put country before party.
1:26.1	Wow.
1:26.8	Sign me up for that. You're regularly on TV, CNN, MSB, NBC, etc. You're one of the
1:34.4	leading conservative voices. And honestly, I follow you on Twitter. I don't know if it's going to
1:41.1	last much longer, but I love when you say, you know, your messaging sucks.
1:47.1	It doesn't, it's not going to reach the base.
1:50.1	And you have a window on that.
1:52.6	So with that intro, Joe Walsh, welcome to the influence continuum.
1:58.4	Hey, Stephen, I mean this.
2:00.1	I'm a fan of you as well. I'm so glad that we've gotten to know each other.
