Joe Walsh: Trump's ICE Crackdown Is BACKFIRING – A Blue Wave Is Coming in 2026?

In this raw, must-watch conversation, former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh joins Matt Lewis to unpack the growing backlash against Trump's second term.

They discuss:

— The stunning Democratic upset in Texas Senate District 9 (a 31+ point swing from Trump's 2024 margin in a red stronghold)

— Why shocking videos of masked ICE agents dragging people from streets/parking lots/Home Depot are turning public opinion (even among non-political Americans)

— How tariffs and economic pain are eroding Trump's "secret sauce" Epstein files secrecy fueling distrust, GOP cracks (Massie, Rand Paul pushing back), and why images are more powerful than words in shifting opinion

— Walsh's Warning: Trump may try to interfere with 2026 midterms – don't underestimate authoritarian moves

— Plus lighter moments on Eagles fandom and calls for prayers over Savannah Guthrie's missing mom in Arizona Walsh (a former Trump voter turned fierce critic) and Lewis (original Never Trumper) argue Democrats could retake the House in a "blue tsunami" driven by Trump's overreach – but must build a real vision for 2028.
