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.
