Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by my good friend Joe Walsh, former Republican Congressman, host of The Social Contract with Joe Walsh, and fierce Trump critic. We break down Trump’s chaotic economic policies, including his flip-flopping on tariffs, extreme government cuts, and the dangerous grip he has on the GOP. Joe and I discuss how Trump's mass layoffs at the VA and other federal agencies are devastating American workers and veterans, the GOP’s fear-driven politics, and the growing authoritarianism within the Republican Party. We also explore the lack of Democratic opposition and what needs to be done to push back against Trump’s reckless agenda.

Look, today's episode, it's one that's going to cut straight to the heart of why the Trump administration

is so fucking damaging to everyday Americans. You see, when you live like Donald Trump, a billionaire
