Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by my good friend Joe Walsh, former Congressman, host of The Social Contract with Joe Walsh, and a Republican commentator who spoke out against the MAGA movement after running for president. Joe and I discuss the factors behind Trump’s unexpected victory, including his campaign's relentless focus on issues like immigration, crime, and the economy. We also examine the Democratic Party’s shortcomings, particularly in failing to connect with working-class voters. Finally, we delve into Trump’s key cabinet picks, whose appointments signal aggressive moves on immigration and an increasingly isolationist stance.
