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, I really think it's on us, as it should be.

Hello, everybody, friend or foe, listening to me right now.

If you, like I this morning, are worried, concerned, frightened for this country that you all love, this country that we all love.

If you're hurting this morning, you're in a place of shock because your country is broken.

Your country is dangerously divided.

We are a country at each other's throats. No matter where you are politically,

and there will be plenty of people right,

there are plenty of people right now saying,

only the left engages in political violence.

And there are people who say, only the right engages in political violence. And there are people who say only the right engages in political violence.

Again, I get it. Those people do that kind of stuff all the fucking time.

But for every other American right now who cares about this country and actually wants to try to make things better in this

country if you want to help heal the divide in this country you want to help help stop all this political violence, all of this hate.

No matter where you are politically, if that's your intention,

then it's going to be up to you and me and the American people to do it.

This country right now is off the charts broken.

We are off the charts divided.
