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, good morning, everybody. I don't know where to start. I don't know how to start good morning TikTok so bear with me for a moment

this Wednesday there was an amazing moment yesterday in a church in a church, in a cathedral, in Washington, D.C., an Episcopalian bishop, a tiny Episcopalian bishop, 65 years old, I'll bet she's not even five foot tall.

She stood in front of the President of the United States this tiny Episcopalian bishop

at a prayer service in Washington, D.C., with Donald Trump and Melania and J.D. Vance and his wife in the first pew in front of her.

And this tiny little Episcopalian female bishop stood in front of the most powerful person on the planet, the newly sworn-in

president of the United States. And she delivered a sermon at this prayer service.

And really, she had, she had one message for the President of the United States.

She had one message to deliver yesterday at this prayer service in Washington, D.C.

She had one message to deliver to the most powerful person on the planet.

The message was simple.

All she said to the President, all she asked of the President,

all she pleaded with with this president was show mercy

Be merciful

Show compassion

That's all mr. president

You won, congratulations. Mr. President, there are a lot of people who are afraid in this country.

She simply asked the president to show mercy and compassion.

And all hell came down on her. Half of the country erupted.
