It says still, here we go.

It says now we're live.

All right, we are live.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome to another episode of Welcome to the Party, pal. We're a little bit later in the day to day because I've been traveling. I'm in Florida celebrating my parents' wedding anniversary. They flew the whole family and should be fun. As we get started, we're going to talk about a bunch of stuff. We're going to talk about, we're going to talk about it. the Democratic Party is back.

As Akeem Jeffries declared this week,

Joe has some tough thoughts on that,

as do I. We're going to talk about Donald Trump falling asleep at a press conference yesterday. We're going to talk about soaring grocery prices and affordability. We're going to talk about Joe Walsh, writing in his substack today that he wants to run for president in the United States. Oh, stop. Stop.

No, no, no.

That's a tease, everybody.

He's teasing.

No, no, no, no, no. Did I see, I saw, listen, I saw a Substag post that said, you know, Joe Walsh for president, so we're going to chat about it. It was late night musing. as where as people are joining if you can do us a favor hit the heart button if you're watching this on substack hit the like button if you're watching on youtube or somewhere else the more that you

hit that stuff for us, truly, the more that people get a chance to see it, so it really does make a difference. Leave your comments as well and tell us where you're watching this from and your reactions to the show. Joe and I really do read them. I try to react to them when I can. Joe, look like I had something.

I want to start with a personal question because you and I are public political figures. We don't talk about ourselves much. Yeah. Your mom and dad, this is your celebrating their anniversary. This is a fun, big deal. This is their, mom, is this your 40th wedding anniversary? Yeah, horses.

Get my mom over here.

Forty-first. 40th, 40th was anniversary? Yeah. Get mom over here.

40th. 40th was last year and they go, well, we're going to take everybody to Florida. We're going to get a big house and we're going to go. And I go, okay, and we're going to just do it one time. And then we're going to just a good time last year that flew everybody back in this year. So it's nice. Oh, my God, that's awesome. Is your mom right there?

She's right back there.

She does not want to be on camera.

Mom.

Do you want to come to say hi?

Okay, Joe Walsh.
