We are not okay.

America is not okay.

And we all know that.

Former Congressman Joe Walsh, this is the social contract with Joe Walsh.

Let's figure out how to get okay together.

Hey Thursday, former Congressman Joe Walsh, good to be with you.

It's been a crazy week. I'm exhausted this week. I probably look like shit. I don't feel well,

which is why it's almost the end of May and I'm wearing a coat because I'm sick as a dog these days. But I'm darn glad to be with you this Thursday. It's a,

it's a topic. It's a question. It's an issue that a long, long time former Republican like me has thought about now for,

gosh, the past eight to ten years. Will the Republican Party ever go back to what it was before Trump?

Will this party, is this party the Trumpy, go back to what it was before Trump.

Will this party, is this party the Trumpy Maga party now for good or the good old party that I belong to, the Ronald Reagan party?

Will that Republican Party ever come back?

I think about this often, more than, more than six or seven times a day,

because I think it's really important to think about, and I think it's a really important

topic. And here to help me try to figure out the answer, or at least probe what the future of the Republican Party looks

like. I'm really happy to be joined by a good friend, longtime veteran, conservative columnist,

Quinn Hillier. He's now on the editorial board of the New Orleans Times, Picayune, one of my favorite long time.

I don't want to keep saying Quinn long time

because you're not an old man,

but one of my favorite long time conservative thinkers

and writers.
