Rick Wilson, a former Republican, is a leading political strategist, podcast host, and author of NY Times bestseller Everything Trump Touches Dies. Rick joins the show to give us his predictions for the upcoming Presidential debates, which he says Trump was a fool to agree to.

Rick will tell us the story of why he left the Republican party in the first place and remind us of a not so distant past in politics, before the extreme right took over the GOP.  He also breaks down the political reasons why so many Republicans like Nikki Haley eventually capitulate to Trump, despite the constant personal attacks.

Florida Man Rick Wilson also tells our listeners why Marco Rubio, once a Trump foe, handed his career to Donald Trump. “He's made an immoral, calculated, crappy, terrible decision to give in to Trump.” Rick said. "He doesn't have a compass guiding him towards the good anymore.”

Rick also gives his take on Trump’s rapid cognitive decline and makes a promise to Trump if he skips the debate next week. “If he bails on this debate, I can promise you, we will be riding him like a rented mule for months,” he said. We will never stop humiliating him. Ever.”

Our good friend, former GOP Congressman Joe Walsh joins the show again to talk about the impact Caitlyn Clark is having on the WNBA and discuss how politics is changing the sports conversation and experience. 

Joe also gives us his take on the debate and tells us what he thinks Biden needs to do to outperform on the stage.

And finally, Walsh speaks frankly with the team about Trump’s sentencing and the fears they have for Biden’s chances of victory on the campaign trail. From start to finish, this entertaining episode is jam-packed with the Really Political truth we all need to hear.
