  • Trump Team Guts Government + A Conversation With Joe Trippi

    Trump Team Guts Government + A Conversation With Joe Trippi
    Feb 10 2025
    Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Joe Trippi, veteran Democratic strategist, senior advisor at The Lincoln Project, host of That Trippi Show podcast, and founder of Sez, a pro-democracy social network. We break down Trump’s chaotic first weeks back in office, including his bizarre claim that the U.S. should 'own' Gaza, his mass federal employee buyouts, and his economic policies that could destabilize the economy. We also discuss how Democrats can effectively push back against Trump’s agenda and the critical role of special elections in countering his grip on power.

    More Dangerous Than Nixon + A Conversation With Jill Wine-Banks
    Feb 7 2025
    Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jill Wine-Banks, former Watergate prosecutor, legal analyst, author of The Watergate Girl, former U.S. General Counsel of the Army, and host of multiple podcasts. With her deep expertise in law and presidential power, we break down Trump’s alarming early actions in his new term. Following this week’s news of Trump claiming the U.S. should 'own' Gaza and offering CIA employees buyouts, there’s no shortage of critical developments to discuss. Jill and I analyze his authoritarian overreach, from purging DOJ prosecutors to pushing extreme cabinet picks like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr. She also explains the constitutional violations in Trump’s flurry of executive orders, the dangers of his proposed government restructuring, and the reckless foreign policy moves already taking shape.

  • Take This Pardon and Shove It! + A Conversation With Pamela Hemphill

    Take This Pardon and Shove It! + A Conversation With Pamela Hemphill
    Feb 3 2025
    Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Pamela Hemphill, known as “MAGA Granny,” who attended the January 6th riot, served 60 days in prison, and is now finishing probation. Despite Trump’s mass pardons for Jan 6 rioters, Pam has been outspoken in rejecting his clemency, arguing it dishonors the Capitol Police and undermines accountability. We discuss the dangers of rewriting history, the radicalization of Trump’s supporters, and the role of media in spreading propaganda. Pam also shares her journey of breaking free from MAGA disinformation and her frustration with Congress for failing to stand up to Trump’s authoritarian agenda.

    Prosecuted or Persecuted + A Conversation With Rick Wilson
    Jan 31 2025
    Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Rick Wilson, political strategist, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, and outspoken critic of Donald Trump. 12 days after Trump took power, Rick and I break down his latest authoritarian moves, including the purge of DOJ prosecutors investigating him and the Senate’s confirmation hearings of his unqualified cabinet picks like Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, RFK Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard. We also discuss the GOP’s submission to Trump out of fear of political retaliation and the dangerous implications of his mass pardons for January 6th rioters. As Trump reshapes the government to serve his own interests, we expose his economic policies, media manipulation, and blatant disregard for constitutional norms.

  • Connection Through Redemption + A Conversation With Jesse Jackson Jr.

    Connection Through Redemption + A Conversation With Jesse Jackson Jr.
    Jan 27 2025
    On this episode of Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jesse Jackson Jr., former Congressman, son of civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson, and author of “A More Perfect Union: Advancing New American Rights” and “The Finger of God.” In 2013, Jesse was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for violating campaign finance laws, and like me, he hoped for a pardon from President Biden. Jesse reflects on his father’s legacy and his own efforts to uphold those values in Congress. We discuss the challenges of public life as the child of a prominent figure, the need for ethical leadership in today’s polarized climate, and the urgency of systemic reform to create fairness and opportunity for all. Jesse also shares his views on mass pardons, criminal justice reform, and the impact of socioeconomic inequality.
