everybody to another episode of Welcome to the Party, pal, our weekly check-in with the newest Democrat, Joe Walsh. Although at this point, you're becoming an old hand of the Democratic Party now. Five and a half months. Five and a half months. Hell of a thing. We're going to get into Epstein because, like, what else is there at this point? Like, Epstein is dominating the news conversation, dominating Washington as, as it frankly should. But there are a couple of other things we're going to talk about. JD Vance finally emerged from his bunker trying to get all the Epstein stank off him.

Then he did a Fox News interview last night.

We're going to talk about the Matt Gade stuff.

We're going to talk about Marjorie Taylor Green.

It continues to go woke.

I say woke is a joke.
