I don't agree with the comments about Trump taking people's wealth and invading Canada and Mexico. Your guests' silence during this nonsense says it all.

Feds Ready to Indict Trump + A Conversation with Joe Trippi
4807
Mea Culpa welcomes back Joe Trippi. Heralded on the cover of The New Republic as the man who “reinvented campaigning,” Trippi pioneered bringing politics into the digital age. Most recently, he’s brought his campaign savvy to the Lincoln Project where he serves as a senior advisor. With Trump a target of Federal Prosecutors and State DA’s, Trippi is targeting the MAGA machine that continues to prop up divisive politics. Lately, his scorn is being directed at Ron DeSantis, who the GOP hoped to dress up as a more palatable Donald Trump but instead got a zombie hall monitor with a mean streak. You can listen to Joe’s podcast, “That Trippi Show,” everywhere podcasts are found or see him on MSNBC, CNN and NBC. Today we’re going to talk to him about Ron DeSantis, fake campaign ads and of course the 2024 election. Listen closely, this man is the maestro of campaign politics.

DeSantis is a DeSisaster with Twitter Election Debacle + A Conversation with Lev Parnas
4569
Mea Culpa welcomes back from the wilds of Boca Raton, Florida. Lev Parnas Lev is a Soviet-born businessman who along with Rudy Giuliani and Igor Fruman played a central role in the campaign to pressure Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals, including Hunter Biden. Parnas was thrown into Trump's first impeachment drama, but he ended up working with federal prosecutors against Giuliani and the former president. Parnas is currently serving a 20-month sentence for Campaign Finance, Wire Fraud, And False Statements Offenses, and is speaking to us today while on home confinement. Lev is a truth-teller and unafraid to remember the things that most folks wish he would forget. Sorry folks but there’s a hashtag that Parnas deploys that says it all, “LEV REMEMBERS.” What that means for Rudy Giuliani and the allegations against him from Noelle Dunphy that include sexual assault and the selling of pardons could prove problematic for AMERICAS FORMER MAYOR. And then there’s Ron DeSantis who in typical Ron DeSantis fashion is trying to distance himself completely from the fact that he took a lot of money from Lev Parnas. Sorry buddy. But LEV REMEMBERS.

From exposing Trump’s potential crimes in Georgia — to suing the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, Eisen is a witness to history. So, let’s go now to my conversation with Norm Eisen.

90: Breaking!!! Trump’s “Big Lie” is the Grift that Keeps On Grifting + A Conversation With WSJ White House Reporter Michael Bender
5089
Michael breaks down the Washington Post’s latest revelations on Trump fundraising practices; detailing how the former president has “raised” over $75 million since January off the back of his Big Lie; promising contributors that their donations would be used to fund the ridiculous Arizona recount and other dubious election fraud endeavors.

Experts believe Trump is living off the proceeds of his latest grift and needs to continue preaching his Big Lie to stay financially afloat. Later, Michael Bender, author of “Frankly, We Did Win This Election,” joins Mea Culpa to discuss his remarkable book and some of its more shocking revelations.

89: The GOP's Reckless Imbeciles Imperil Jan. 6th Commission + A Conversation with John Fugelsang
5410
In a remarkable set of events, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected two of the six representatives chosen by House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy to sit on the January 6th Commission. McCarthy chose Ohio Rep, Jacketless Gym Jordan who not only voted to overturn the election AFTER the insurrection but has repeatedly made up insane shit about the FBI being responsible for the riot. While Rep Indiana Rep Jim Banks, another MAGA blowhard has spent his time asking why Pelosi didn’t do a better job of protecting the capital. This is akin to putting people who believe 9/11 was an inside job on that commission. Complete and total idiocy. Well, Pelosi kicked them all in the ass and now they got nothing. Later, SiriusXM’s John Fugelsang joins Mea Culpa to discuss the creepiness of Jim Jordan and why the Evangelicals still love Trump.

83: A Wounded Trump is a Dangerous Trump + A Conversation with David Plouffe

The criminal indictment of the Trump Organization puts Donald Trump squarely in the crosshairs of legal jeopardy. But a wounded Trump is still a dangerous Trump; creating a new urgency to jumpstart his political life and remain viable as a candidate. He won’t run because he’s afraid to lose. But as long as his MAGA base thinks he’ll run, the more money he can raise. In addition, he can claim that the DA is only coming after him as a political vendetta. But to remain viable, Trump must appeal to an extremist base that is more prone to conspiracy thinking, violence, racism and hatred. All of this was on display last weekend at his first public rally and will only intensify as his legal troubles mount.

79: Inside the GOP’s Plot to White Wash January 6th + A Conversation with Joe Trippi
5678
The Manhattan DA’s case against the Trump Organization and Donald Trump has put intense pressure on the former President as he finds himself increasingly cornered. The prospect of an indictment has forced him back out on the campaign trail as he seeks to shield himself from prosecution by spinning the case as yet another political witch hunt. At the same time, the GOP must reckon with the fact that for good or ill, Trump is still the center of the Republican universe and thus they need to change the narrative. In the past several months, the right has engaged in a propaganda war to white wash the history of the Trump presidency and what happened on January 6th. The result has been a steady drip of stunning and shameless lies. Finally, political strategist and Democratic stalwart Joe Trippi joins Mea Culpa to discuss the fall out caused by the GOP’s authoritarian crusade.

73: Why the GOP Killed the January 6th Commission + A Conversation with Don Lemon

While a vast majority of Americans favored the establishment of a bi-partisan commission to investigate the January 6th Capital riot, the GOP is only interested in self-preservation. So the whitewash continues with Donald Trump and the usual suspects pumping out a counter narrative where, he not only won the election, but the activities of that day were peaceful and the agitators leftist radicals. If it sounds insane, that’s because it is. But 73% of Republican voters polled believe that’s the truth. Next, Michael looks at the Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene MAGA hate tour which they’ve billed the “America First Rally.” Should the GOP retake the House and Senate in 2022, this racist circus will be coming to an arena near you. Finally, CNN’s Don Lemon joins Mea Culpa to talk about his new book, “This is the Fire,” the madness of the modern GOP, the death of white supremacy and much, much more.

Last Wednesday's MAGA insurrection may have been the end point for Trump's divisive rhetoric but is likely the beginning of a much wider war. Within the ranks of the rioters was a more hardcore group of extremists who were bent on finding and exterminating lawmakers driven into hiding inside the Capitol. Pictures show rioters clad in tactical gear and Kevlar vests carrying zip ties to round up Senators. That they probably had inside help is a chilling development only now being revealed. We speak with broadcast legend Soledad O'Brien on the future of journalism in the wake of the Capital Riot and Trump's disastrous tenure.

4683
The madness of King Donald arrived in the state of Georgia and has morphed into a Frankenstein's monster that threatens to devour the Republican Party and doom their electoral chances in a pair of Senate run off races to be held January 5th. After releasing the Kraken of conspiracy and unsupported allegations of election fraud which saw members of their own party face death threats and online harassment, Trump proxies are now apoplectic at their own lawyers for advocating that voters boycott the election until these allegations are settled. Republican Party Reptiles like Newt Gingrich, who eagerly jumped on the conspiracy bandwagon weeks ago, now find themselves back peddling furiously; trying to put the genie back in the bottle. But it's too late, leaving us to wonder, "has the whole world gone crazy?" Michael speaks with Law and Crime's Adam Klasfeld to get these answers and more in a revealing conversation about what's happening at the heart of these ridiculous lawsuits.

24: Trump’s Legal Team is a Hot Mess November 23, 2020
4545
This week on Mea Culpa, Michael finds himself at peak frustration as the Trump Train barrels this country towards oblivion. How can a nation that is built upon reason find itself in such an unreasonable position, where a two-bit, wannabe despot can work the corners of our legal system to halt the entire transition of power? With the country exhausted from the trauma of this never ending election and the looming specter of death from COVID, we all are stuck in a terrible limbo. Searching for answers and rational thought, Michael speaks with Harvard University Professor of Constitutional Law, Laurence Tribe. One of the main architects of Al Gore's recount fight from the 2000 election, Tribe has argued 35 cases in front of the Supreme Court and finds himself mired in the current mess; advising the Biden team from afar as one frivolous lawsuit after another is filed. His words provide a balm for the ever present irritation of Trump and his team of legal crows.

23: Week In Review: Trump’s Creepy Errand Boys November 19, 2020
5101
On this episode of the Mea Culpa Week in Review, we examine the last 72 hours in the mind of Donald J. Trump as he attempts to overturn the election with his bogus fraud claims. In addition, we look at two of his most creepy errand boys, Lindsay Graham and Rudy Giuliani and wonder what sort of kompromat Trump possesses that they could stomach their roles in his defense. Rudy has gone even more batshit insane and was put in charge of Trump's entire legal strategy while Lindsay Graham is driving around Washington in his windowless van looking to lure people in with promises of candy if they only throw out those legal ballots. Finally, we talk to national security expert John Cipher who for 28 years served in the CIA's clandestine service ultimately as the European Chief of Station. He talks with Michael about the role disinformation plays in President Trump's overall strategy to undermine the election and how his goal of sewing chaos hues closely to that of Vladimir Putin.

14: Trump’s Attack Dog: How Bill Barr Weaponized the DOJ to Protect Donald Trump. October 26, 2020
4561
Michael speaks with former US Attorney, Phillip Halpern who very publicly resigned last week out of protest and disgust for Attorney General William P. Barr's shocking abuse of power. Halpern spent 36 years in his position at the Department of Justice; serving under 19 different Attorney's General and six different presidents while prosecuting all manner of crime and government corruption. Under Bill Barr though, Halpern says the Justice Department became just another appendage of the Trump administration with Barr acting as the president's sword and shield; saving him from the Mueller Report, impeachment and countless other high crimes and misdemeanors while intervening to save Trump's corrupt cronies like Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn from prison. With just eight days to go before election day learn why Bill Barr might just be the most dangerous man in America.

12: Inside Trump’s Covid Task Force Failure October 22, 2020
4625
It's the Mea Culpa Week in Review. T-minus 12 days and counting until election day and Donald Trump is clearly losing badly. While it ain't over till it's over, this one appears to be headed towards a landslide victory for Joe Biden. One of the likely reasons, suburban women have abandoned Donald Trump; defecting in historic numbers. This threatens not just the presidency for Trump but down ballot races as well; suggesting a possible blue wave that would fundamentally reorder Washington as we know it. For the main event, Michael speaks with Olivia Troye, former Homeland Security advisor to Vice President Pence and Covid Task Force member. She resigned from the White house just eight weeks ago and describes a place that was more cult headquarters than presidential home. And where facts are not facts unless they adhere to the Trumpian narratives provided. Troye endured years inside the belly of the beast; doing her best to make a difference only to be stymied by Trump's increasingly incompetent actions. She tells Mea Culpa the whole saga.

Because the White House's false claims about my character and integrity continue, I've had to take all appropriate steps to defend my name, which is why I released the tapes." -Stephanie Winston Wolkoff
