Summary

Mike and I dive headfirst into the madness — from finally catching the D.C. pipe bomber to wondering whether Donald Trump will reward yet another January 6th true believer with a pardon. We tear into the Cuellar pardon, Pete Hegseth’s never-ending circus at the Pentagon, and a House GOP so dysfunctional it makes my old Congress look sane. Buckle up — it’s a hell of a Friday, and you know I’m bringing the piss and vinegar.

Welcome to the Party Poul with Mike Nellis and Joe Walsh. Very grateful to be with you all today. We're going to dive into a couple of things today. We're going to talk about the D.C. pipe bomber because they found him after four years and whether or not Donald Trump is going to pardon him, given that he turned out to be a Trump supporting election denier, which is the least shocking thing I've ever heard on the planet.

1:12.6

We're going to get into Pete Heggseth. We're going to get into, where's my list of topics? Why did I lose them? We're going to get into Pete Heggsess war crimes. We're going to get into the Henry Quayar pardon, and we're going to get into the House GOP uprising because Mike Johnson might be on the verge of losing his majority, although I doubt that'll happen, but I want to talk about it because that never happened to Nancy Pelosi.

Michael, before you start your program, because you run this thing, I'm on your coattails. I love you on the no, no, it's nothing without you, Joe. Stop it. Don't do it. Stop. You're in a mood today. You're being very self-depriating yourself. Get that. I'm pissed off. I'm pissed off at my former colleague, Senator, now Senator Bill Cassidy. Once again, he fucking came out 30 minutes ago, Mike, and bitched and moaned about a dangerous thing RFK Jr. just did.

2:03.8

Duh.

2:07.7

And I say to my former colleague, what the fuck? You had the power, Bill Cassidy, to stop him.

2:11.9

And he comes out, Cassidy does.

2:14.2

Every time Kennedy, RFK Jr. does something stupid as if he can

2:19.5

inoculate himself. He could have stopped Kennedy. But that's not what I wanted to say.

2:24.6

What I wanted to say was, it's always good to be with you. You're an inspiration to me,

2:30.2

but you let me down yesterday. What I do?'re and by the way for our audience mike nellis

2:58.1

You made it. You did it. You did it. Well, you still got another six months to go before you get your one-year trip.

3:05.3

It's been a bumpy road, but it's good to be on your side. I mean, we're glad to have you, Joe. I think we're taking anybody that wants to stand up to these assholes. So let's dive in on that. So for folks that haven't seen it today, the big news of the morning is that they found the DC pipe bomber from four years ago. If you don't remember, the same day or maybe the day after the January 6th stuff, there were a couple of pipe bombs left in front of the DNC and the RNC. Kamala Harris was actually at the DNC when the pipe bomb was left. They were unable to find them. There was this whole right-wing conspiracy theory. I don't know if you saw this, Joe. Dan Bongino was on Fox last night, and Sean Hannity was like, you claim that this was like an FBI conspiracy. Why are you not saying that now? And he's like, I got paid to say those things, which I can't believe he decided to admit that out loud. It's just nuts to me. But now they found the guy, and it turns out that he is basically a part of the January 6th crowd. He believed Trump that the election was rigged. He was a mega guy. And which to me begs the question, will he get a pardoned? Because

4:01.9

Trump pardoned everybody else was part of January 6th. The Dan Bongino thing you mentioned and you laughed

4:08.2

at as you should, I find so sad because I come from right wing media and what I'm doing, Mike, is Dan Bongino

acknowledged that in his prior life before the FBI, nothing he put out was fact-based.
