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, staying 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. There we go. Hey, everybody,

good morning. TikTok. We froze there for a moment. Hey, Joe, hey Katie, everybody on TikTok. Hello. TikTok kind of

froze on me a little bit there. Don't have that TikTok. Can't have that TikTok because I'm in a bad

mood this morning. Welcome TikTok. Welcome, TikTok. Welcome everybody. Former Congressman Joe Walsh.

This is the social contract with Joe Walsh, where every week and every show,

I'm supposed to preach the social contract. What does that mean? Often many of you ask,

what the hell is the social contract, Joe? Here's what it is. The social contract is the

responsibilities that we have, we, not our politicians, not those guys, we in as free

citizens in this thing we call a democracy. We're supposed to be tolerant, respectful. We're

supposed to stay informed and we're supposed to be engaged. And every show and every week,

I try to model all of that. And I'm going to

try to model all of that this morning. But I'm pissed off. I'm in a dangerous combination. I'm in a

bad mood this Friday morning. And I've already had way too much coffee.

I ordered a cappuccino, and I think it came with like six or seven extra shots,

because I messed up the order.

So I'm, like, buzzing right now, and I'm in a bad mood,

and I got to get things off of my chest this Friday. In no particular order. Let me tell you what I'm pissed off about. By the way, before I tell you what I'm pissed off about, Merry Christmas,

everybody. Merry, Merry Christmas. What a wonderful Christmas season this is. Happy Hanukkah, whatever the heck

you celebrate. Merry, Mary, and a happy New Year and all of that. We don't do happy holidays
