Why the GOP Killed the January 6th Commission + A Conversation with Don Lemon

While a vast majority of Americans favored the establishment of a bi-partisan commission to investigate the January 6th Capital riot, the GOP is only interested in self-preservation. So the whitewash continues with Donald Trump and the usual suspects pumping out a counter narrative where, he not only won the election, but the activities of that day were peaceful and the agitators leftist radicals. If it sounds insane, that’s because it is. But 73% of Republican voters polled believe that’s the truth. Next, Michael looks at the Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene MAGA hate tour which they’ve billed the “America First Rally.” Should the GOP retake the House and Senate in 2022, this racist circus will be coming to an arena near you. Finally, CNN’s Don Lemon joins Mea Culpa to talk about his new book, “This is the Fire,” the madness of the modern GOP, the death of white supremacy and much, much more.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.auda...

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.

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.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

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.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
