Mea Culpa

• Lock Your Windows, Nuclear Testing Starts Tomorrow + A Conversation with Michael Steele

  Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Michael Steele, former RNC Chair, MSNBC analyst, and host of The Michael Steele Podcast, for a blistering breakdown of Trump’s latest authoritarian moves. We dig into his push to end the Senate filibuster, the demolition of the White House’s East Wing to build his ballroom, and the GOP’s complicity in his escalating power grab. Steele explains how the Supreme Court has become a political enforcement arm under Trump’s shadow and how his own party has lost its moral compass. From the potential rollback of marriage equality to the normalization of authoritarian control, this episode sounds the alarm on the collapse of Republican restraint and the rise of a Trump America.

• Pugnacious President Promotes Pandemonium + A Conversation with Harry Litman

  On this episode of Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Harry Litman, former U.S. Attorney, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, law professor, and host of “Talking Feds” to break down the unprecedented chaos unfolding in Washington. From the near record-breaking government shutdown, with millions of Americans losing their benefits, to Trump’s demolition of the East Wing and privatization of the White House Ballroom, we unpack the legal, political, and constitutional implications of a presidency running amok. Harry and I discuss the limits of executive power, the GOP’s paralysis, pay-to-play schemes, and the terrifying precedent being set for future presidents.

• Trump Kills Gen Z’s American Dream + A Conversation with Adam Mockler

  Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back fellow MeidasTouch contributor Adam Mockler for a scorching breakdown of Trump’s self-serving presidency and America’s deepening political crisis. Mockler, a Gen Z political commentator and creator known for taking on Republicans head-to-head, joins me to unpack how we can finally get Trump out of office. We dig into this week’s news, from the destruction of the White House East Wing to build his “billionaire ballroom” to false claims of a $20 trillion economic boom, exposing how Trump’s corruption has reached new heights amid a government shutdown. We reveal how farmers, federal workers, and ordinary Americans are paying the price for Trump’s chaos while corporate donors and foreign allies cash in. Finally, we tackle ICE raids, propaganda at the Pentagon, and the DOJ’s weaponization under Trump’s control, showing just how fragile American institutions have become under Trump’s obsession with power.

• Cruelty Is The New GOP Slogan + A Conversation with Joe Walsh

  Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back my friend Joe Walsh, former Republican Congressman, host of The Social Contract with Joe Walsh, and fierce Trump critic. We break down Trump’s destruction of the White House’s East Wing to build his billionaire ballroom, the hypocrisy of a government shutdown while he enriches himself, and Trump’s gluttonous move to demand that the DOJ give him $230 million in damages for past cases. We also discuss the rise of Christian nationalism, Congress’s collapse as a check on power, and how courts are handling Trump’s orders to deploy the National Guard in American cities. From fake populism to full-blown authoritarianism, this episode confronts what happens when democracy is left undefended.
