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, staying 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, hope you all had a really wonderful weekend.

Welcome, everybody, back to the social contract with

former Congressman Joe Walsh. Hope you all had a good weekend. Lancaster, Pennsylvania. That's

where we are. That's where we'll be this week in this never-ending journey of ours, this podcast, to get out and talk to

and listen to and engage with and have face-to-face conversations with the American people.

This week, we are going to play with you, play for you. We're not

going to play with you, play for you, a number of clips based on a conversation I had with a group

of about 20 Republicans, former Republicans, and Democrats in South Central Pennsylvania,

Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to be specific.

Lancaster, a town, a city of about 58,000 people.

It's the Red Rose City.

Second highest concentration of Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania.

It's also an area, Lancaster, Lancaster County, with a huge history of taking in migrants and refugees.

It's a mixed area politically. We'll have a lot more information about Lancaster, Pennsylvania,

for you all week. For those of you new to this show,

half of what we do every week is this. I'm going out every single week and sitting down face to

face with the American people because I believe, I don't just believe, I know there is a longing

in America right now for face-to-face conversations. This country is divided, dangerously divided.
