"When I turned on Trump publicly, I lost everything."
Former Congressman Joe Walsh joins the show to discuss why he's now fully on Team Democracy. Why is there such a disconnect privately vs publicly among public officials about supporting Trump? Why are there so few Liz Cheneys? And should Liz Cheney run in 2024 - why she shouldn't run as an independent. What's it like to primary Trump? Joe also discusses how he's bringing back voters from the cult of Trump one at a time -- with real conversations.

Trygve Olson joins Joe and Alex to talk about the latest 1/6 Committee hearing and what it all means. We'll let Adam Kinzinger sum it up from the latest hearing: "The forces Donald Trump ignited that day have not gone away... The militant, intolerant ideologies —the militias, the alienation, and the disaffection — the weird fantasies and disinformation. They're all still out there, ready to go. That's the 'elephant in the room.'" Plus - Trump's video outtakes, what Trygve calls his "MAGA franchise operation", the latest from the Wyoming primary, and more.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/that-trippi-show/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"You lose. I'm the winner. I'm the king."
Joe and Alex discuss the latest Jan 6th hearings and how crazy can break a red wave. But don't lose sight of the biggest revelation of the week: Steve Bannon says the quiet part out loud. Our country was founded to counteract the idea of a king. And Trump's whole plan was to loudly declare himself king. That's the autocratic movement we're fighting.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/that-trippi-show/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
