How the GOP Went Insane + A Conversation with the Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur
The ouster of Liz Cheney from her House leadership position for refusing to accept Trump’s Big Election Lie is a frightening turning point in an already chaotic, political year. The GOP has abandoned all pretense of caring about democracy and has shackled itself to an insane, conspiracy driven, illiberal movement that threatens to destroy the party. This is all happening amidst an emboldened Trump who has triumphantly and aggressively shaped the party in his own image; purging any all dissent. The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur joins Mea Culpa to help Michael predict what will happen next.

Breaking!!! Are the Feds Ready to Flip Rudy? + A Conversation with MSNBC’S Jonathan Capehart
Last week saw the reemergence of Donald Trump as he pushed the Big Lie from Mar A Lago and the GOP leadership forced its members to get in line or get out of the way. Liz Cheney tried to push back but found herself in the crosshairs of Kevin McCarthy who instead of moving on from the election has made it the central theme of the GOP. Meanwhile, the SDNY has found itself with a treasure trove of dirt inside Rudy Giuliani’s hard drive. Could their appointing of a so called, “Special Master,” to sort through files be a sign that they’re getting ready to flip Trump’s other former lawyer? Finally, MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart joins Mea Culpa to discuss the GOP’s sidelining of Liz Cheney, what happened to Tim Scott and so much more.

Facebook’s Trump Nightmare Just A Sideshow + A Conversation with David Corn
Politics makes strange bedfellows. Who would’ve thought that Liz Cheney, who voted with Trump 97% of the time during his four years in office would become a liberal hero for standing up to his lies and autocratic desires? And Facebook makes a big show out of its decision to uphold the former president’s suspension. But it’s all just a big sideshow for the fact that Zuckerberg and Co don’t want to have to change how they do business. Now they’re in a nightmare scenario of their own making. Finally, progressive superstar journalist David Corn drops by Mea Culpa to discuss Don Jr’s legal troubles, the Facebook decision and much, much more.

Inside the FBI’s Rudy Giuliani Apt Raid + A Conversation With WaPo’s Greg Sargent
Like the vaccine and the return of live music and indoor dining, another gift was delivered to the masses when the FBI stormed the apartment of former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani for a multitude of possible crimes. How this man has skated untouched for so long was no mystery. He was being protected from high up by Trump and his Justice Department. But with Biden’s election and the appointment of Merrick Garland as AG, there’s a new sheriff in town and Rudy is going down! Later I speak with the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent about the demonization of the left, the MAGA victory in state and local elections and other fun topics.

It’s Been 1 Yr Since Trump Told America to Drink Bleach + A Conversation with Richard Painter
One year ago Donald Trump stood before the American people and suggested drinking bleach and injecting disinfectant to cure the Covid 19 virus. In a presidency marked my insanity. This one presser might have been the most insane one of all. It also revealed for those who didn’t already know, that the man in charge of our recovery and our lives, was bat shit insane crazy. But now, one year later, what’s even more insane, is that there are people who still want more of this guy. This after all the poison he injected into our system. Michael discusses how the GOP has all but abandoned its moral duty to promote Trumpism above all else. He may have lost the battle for the presidency but in state houses and local politics, Trumpism is winning the war. Finally, Michael speaks with former Bush White House ethics czar Richard Painter on how we recover from the age of Trump,

Derek Chauvin Verdict Fuels Tucker Carlson’s Manic On-Air Meltdown + A Conversation With the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer
A collective sigh of relief was exhaled across the nation as Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all charges. Typically the reaction between the right and left shows just how deeply fractured the nation has become. At the heart of all this are the racist MAGA conspiracies being spun about how Black Lives Matter threatened to burn down American cities if Chauvin was not found guilty. Tucker Carlson melts down on air about the subject while claiming that Chauvin was lynched by the left. You can’t make this stuff up. Unfortunately, it’s what many believe. Finally, Michael speaks with Jane Mayer, the New Yorker’s Washington Correspondent about the very latest in the New York DA’s case against Donald Trump.
