Today on Mea Culpa, I am joined by Anthony Scaramucci, a fellow Trump confidant turned critic. While he is known for his brief tenure as White House Communications Director under Trump in 2017 - a role he held for just 11 days before being fired - he is also the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge, host of "The Rest Is Politics US," and an author. Using The Mooch's experience, we break down Signal-Gate, which has overtaken the news cycle this week. We also discuss Trump's legal troubles, the state of the GOP, and the fight for democracy.

As of March 25, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds have wrapped up their spring training in Goodyear, Arizona, finishing with a 12-17-1 record in the Cactus League. Despite the losing tally, the focus was on preparation rather than results, culminating in a strong 13-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in their final game. Key performances highlighted the camp: shortstop Elly De La Cruz thrived, slashing .452/.553/.839 with six extra-base hits and six stolen bases, showcasing his superstar potential. Outfielder Austin Hays led the team with 14 RBIs and a .310 average, proving his value as a cleanup hitter. Pitching-wise, Hunter Greene, set to start Opening Day on March 27 against the San Francisco Giants, struck out six in four innings during his penultimate tune-up. Nick Lodolo also impressed in the finale, signaling rotation strength. However, injuries impacted the roster—Andrew Abbott, Spencer Steer, and Tyler Stephenson will start the season on the IL, opening spots for prospects like Jacob Hurtubise and Blake Dunn. Under new manager Terry Francona, the Reds emphasized farm system development and organizational unity, aiming to end their playoff drought since 2020 as they head back to Cincinnati. In March 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals secured their star wide receivers, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, with lucrative long-term contracts, ensuring quarterback Joe Burrow's top targets remain in place. Chase signed a four-year, $161 million extension, making him the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback at $40.25 million annually, with $73.9 million fully guaranteed at signing and $112 million total guaranteed. His deal includes a $41.17 million base salary and roster bonuses for 2025, with cash flow structured to deliver $105 million over three years, heavily front-loaded for flexibility. Higgins, previously on a franchise tag, inked a four-year, $115 million contract, averaging $28.75 million per year, the highest for a No. 2 receiver. His deal features $30 million fully guaranteed at signing, including a $20 million roster bonus in 2025, though his $13.8 million 2025 base salary remains unguaranteed, offering the Bengals an out after one year if needed. The Bengals deviated from their traditional signing bonus-heavy structure, opting for significant guarantees to appease Burrow's public push to retain both players. While this locks in their offensive core through 2029 (Chase) and 2028 (Higgins), critics note the team could have saved millions by acting earlier, as delays inflated costs amid a rising receiver market.

The March Madness weekend of March 21-23, 2025, delivered thrilling action as the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament kicked off its first and second rounds. On Friday, top seeds like Auburn, Duke, Florida, and Houston asserted dominance, rolling past opponents, while the ACC struggled, with only Duke advancing past the first round. The Big Ten and SEC shone brightly, combining for half the second-round field, highlighted by Purdue's surgical win over High Point and Tennessee's knockout blow to Southern Illinois. Saturday saw upsets, including No. 10 Arkansas stunning No. 2 St. John's, ending Rick Pitino's run, while Auburn and Houston secured Sweet 16 spots with strong finishes against Creighton and Gonzaga. Sunday brought more drama: No. 1 Florida edged UConn 77-75, halting the Huskies' three-peat bid in a gritty battle, and No. 1 Duke crushed Baylor 89-66, fueled by a decisive first-half run. No. 4 Maryland stole the spotlight with a buzzer-beater to upset No. 12 Colorado State, while Arizona, led by Caleb Love's 29 points, rallied past Oregon 87-83. Kentucky also advanced, topping Illinois 84-75, setting up a Sweet 16 clash with Tennessee. The stage is set for an electrifying next round.

It's built around the Stryker vehicle—an eight-wheeled, armored platform that's lighter than tanks but more robust than typical infantry transport. The SBCT is one of three main types of brigade combat teams in the Army, alongside infantry (IBCT) and armored (ABCT) variants, and it's meant to fill the gap between the highly mobile but lightly equipped infantry units and the heavier, slower armored units. An SBCT typically consists of about 4,500 soldiers and over 300 Stryker vehicles, organized into several battalions: three infantry battalions, one reconnaissance (cavalry) squadron,

Donald Trump makes good on his promise to free the January 6 rioters—including those convicted of savage violence against police officers—calling the attacks "very minor incidents" in a primetime interview with Sean Hannity, and saying it would be too "cumbersome" to review individual defendants' records. Jon and Dan react to the pardons, the expansive list of executive orders that Trump signed this week, the prospects for his cabinet picks, and how Democrats are doing in their efforts to push back. Then, Dan talks to progressive strategist Faiz Shakir about his bid for DNC Chair and where he wants to steer the party.

1.23.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: MAGA’s Economic Assault on Black America, Indefensible Pardons, Karon Hylton-Brown Killers Freed There's a significant plan underway. The twice-impeached, criminally convicted former president Donald "The Con" Trump and his associates are on a mission to undermine Black America financially. Tonight, we will examine MAGA's Economic Assault on Black America. Democratic Representative Jim McGovern is calling out the GOP, the supposed party of law and order, while they have yet to justify the pardons granted for the events of January 6. We'll discuss the pardons of two former D.C. officers who were convicted of charges related to the death of Karon Hylton-Brown, which occurred after they pursued him for riding a scooter without a helmet in October 2020. The judge who issued a temporary block on Trump's executive order regarding birthright citizenship described the order as "blatantly unconstitutional." #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

In this special episode, recorded live from Oscar's Dinner Series, former Las Vegas mayor and famed criminal defense lawyer, Oscar Goodman, dives deep into the complexities of defending the most notorious figures in Las Vegas history. With his signature wit and unfiltered stories, Oscar takes the audience on a journey through his legal career, where he represented individuals many would consider "indefensible." From humorous anecdotes about courtroom antics to insightful reflections on the U.S. justice system, Oscar reveals why he chose to stand up for his clients, even when public opinion was against them. Along the way, he discusses infamous cases, exposes government misconduct, and reminds us all of the importance of the Constitution.
