Summary

I sat down with human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid. We generally agree on what ails the Democratic Party, we disagree on some economic issues, and we most definitely disagree on the Israel/Palestinian issue. But we sat down and had a respectful conversation. Good stuff.

0:07.3	That means being tolerant, being respectful, staying informed, and being engaged.
0:13.5	I'm former Congressman Joe Walsh. Follow me here and join the millions of Americans who are renewing their social contract with each other.
0:23.6	The social contract, it's on us.
0:30.8	As we go live and people join us, I think substack is becoming like the Twitter alternative. I think it's becoming the place to be.

1:50.3	friendship is not because we agree on everything, it's because we find ways to have conversations
1:55.6	despite disagreements. And I think that's lacking in this world. And I'll be the first one to say I got
