Mea Culpa

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.
