Exposing the MAGA Coup from Within + A Conversation with Michael Wolff
Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Michael Wolff, journalist, columnist, and bestselling author of Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide, for a chilling deep dive into the disturbing relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff is the only journalist to have conducted over 100 hours of interviews with Epstein before his death, and what he reveals is explosive. We discuss Trump and Epstein’s twisted friendship (which ended before my time with Trump), why Epstein is suddenly back in the headlines, and how Trump is working overtime to distract from the files. From Polaroids of Trump at Epstein’s house to Steve Bannon’s involvement, we expose the secrets MAGA wants buried.

Silence Only Favors The Oppressor + A Conversation with Vicky Ward
Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Vicky Ward, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, documentary host and producer, and former CNN Senior Reporter, for an unfiltered conversation on Trump’s authoritarian grip, Elon Musk’s chaotic political ambitions, and the terrifying consequences of unchecked power. We unpack how Trump has surrounded himself with unqualified loyalists, and why Musk’s third-party movement could merge tech oligarchy with MAGA populism. From the deadly floods in Texas to America’s collapsing global credibility, we expose the cost of cruelty, the silence of Democrats, and what happens when spectacle replaces substance. Plus, Vicky discusses her new book, “The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy,” co-authored with James Patterson.

The Country Is Drowning in Stupidity + A Conversation with Rick Wilson
Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson for a scathing conversation on the cruelty, chaos, and corruption driving Trump’s America. Rick is a political strategist, writer, speaker, and commentator, best known for his cutting political ads and no-nonsense takes. From the devastating floods in Texas, made worse by MAGA-led budget cuts, to the GOP’s obsession with Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” we expose how ideology has replaced governance. We also break down the collapse of the Trump–Musk alliance, the rise of spectacle politics, and whether a third party could ever challenge America’s broken two-party system.

I’ve Had It With American Cruelty! + A Conversation with Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan from the I’ve Had It podcast. Jenn and Pumps are known for speaking honestly about politics and calling out what they’ve had it with, and after the last few months of the Trump administration, we had plenty to discuss. From the cruelty baked into the so-called “big, beautiful bill” to the dystopian horror of “Alligator Alcatraz,” we break down how Trumpism has normalized authoritarian tactics, demonized immigrants, and turned suffering into spectacle. With sharp wit and unfiltered insight, we expose the MAGA movement’s hypocrisy, the media’s complicity, and what happens when cruelty becomes campaign strategy.

Trump’s Wrath Reaches Beyond The Red Planet + A Conversation With Tom LoBianco
Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by veteran political journalist and analyst Tom LoBianco for a blistering deep dive into the unraveling bromance between Trump and Elon Musk and what it reveals about raw power, ego, and political survival in MAGA world. Tom has covered Trump’s allies for years, reporting on Mike Pence for the Associated Press, CNN, and other outlets, and is the author of Piety & Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House. From the weaponization of ICE to whisper campaigns about Musk’s immigration status, we unpack how Trump uses fear and retaliation as tools of control. We also explore the rise of extremist religious ideology inside the GOP, the chaos around “Alligator Alcatraz,” and whether Musk’s third-party ambitions pose a real threat or are just another tech billionaire delusion.
