The Mad King Shits On The Constitution Yet Again
Summary
Joe Walsh condemns the Trump administration's "evil" actions, focusing on the shooting of a lawful Venezuelan asylum seeker by ICE in Austin and the agency's pattern of removing victims to avoid legal consequences. He promotes the free "Paxis" app, a know-your-rights tool for encountering ICE, and urges listeners to support its distribution via GoFundMe. Walsh also criticizes Trump for banning CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House, noting that major media outlets are suing and refusing to cover the president until the ban is lifted.
