Joe Walsh, Former Tea Party Congressman and current challenger to Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, was this podcast’s very first guest. Exactly thirty episodes later, Joe is back for more— and Matt is suuuuper excited about it. Listen to their deep, and deeply honest, conversation about Joe’s longshot candidacy, why he’s running even though he 100% knows he will not win, the upcoming 2020 election, the Democratic nominees and their chances against Trump, how and why there is no viable third party alternative, the rise of the ‘celebrity candidate’, why the dirty word ‘socialism’ has lost so much of its stigma, how history will remember this absurd period in time, and just generally what in the fucking hell is going on in this country they both love. They also discuss Joe’s upcoming book, out on February 18th, called ‘Fuck Silence’— which Matt thinks is a great title. Pre-order it now!
