1:00:25Now PlayingAnand Giridharadas joins me today on Mea Culpa to discuss the threats to democracy posed by Trump’s authoritarian agenda and the influence of billionaires like Elon Musk. Anand, a bestselling author of Winners Take All and The Persuaders, is also an MSNBC analyst and a former foreign correspondent and columnist for The New York Times. Following last week’s scare of a government shutdown, we examine how figures like Musk use their power to shape public discourse and policy, often undermining democratic norms. Anand underscores the urgent need for a pro-democracy movement that fosters connection, inclusion, and hope to reclaim the American democratic experiment.
