A Conversation About Democracy's Future

Thank you to former Congressman Joe Walsh for hosting me on his Substack Live tonight. In a wide-ranging and candid conversation, we discussed:

• The dangerous “interregnum period” we're currently experiencing in American politics

• How Trump's tariffs signal a fundamental shift in American global leadership

• The fracturing of crucial alliances, including with Canada

• The neoreactionary movement's influence on tech elites like Musk and Thiel

• Why DOGE isn't about efficiency but about dismantling institutional resistance

• The existential threats facing our constitutional order

• What ordinary citizens can do to preserve democracy in their daily lives

Joe's passionate concern for our country was evident throughout, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to explore these critical issues with someone who truly understands what's at stake.
