We’re Paying A Huge Price Because We’re Afraid To Call Trump What He Truly Is
Summary
Joe Walsh recounts being told by CNN that he cannot call Donald Trump a "Russian asset," arguing that media refusal to label Trump a traitor or sociopath enables his corruption. He details recent events where Trump lifted sanctions on Russia and cut off intelligence to Ukraine, facilitating Russian attacks, while Elon Musk restricted Starlink access. Walsh asserts that treating Trump as a normal president allows him to sabotage the economy through tariffs and war. The episode concludes with a call to vote heavily in midterms to remove Trump and hold Musk accountable.
