It’s never easy to talk with people who don’t agree with you; and yet, problems cannot be solved without the search for common ground. Joe Walsh is a former U.S. Congressman, a former Presidential candidate, a radio host, and a man whose personal mission is to LISTEN. With WHITE FLAG with JOE WALSH, he surrenders the urge to fight and strives to find a path to unite, not divide. He talks with notable people that have vastly differing viewpoints from his own. These are passionate conversations with an aim to find compromise... and, in turn, a better America.

"If that makes you a little scared, you should be,"
Oversight is a good thing, but, as Joe explains, what Congressional Republicans did this week is not "oversight" at all--it's authoritarian.

"As the Republican party shrinks, the Democratic Party can grow."
The Speaker's race has been decided and we're already entering into the 2024 election cycle.

And, according to Joe, Republicans have handed Democrats a gift.
