Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Michael Wolff, journalist, columnist, and bestselling author of Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide, for a chilling deep dive into the disturbing relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff is the only journalist to have conducted over 100 hours of interviews with Epstein before his death, and what he reveals is explosive. We discuss Trump and Epstein's twisted friendship (which ended before my time with Trump), why Epstein is suddenly back in the headlines, and how Trump is working overtime to distract from the files. From Polaroids of Trump at Epstein's house to Steve Bannon's involvement, we expose the secrets MAGA wants buried.

With Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the rearview mirror, the criminal and civil prosecution of the former President has only just begun. The push to impeach Trump may have failed on political lines, but he will likely not fare as well in a court of law. Thus, lawmakers and prosecutors have begun targeting the former president for his role in the January 6TH riot with a series of lawsuits that place the blame for the carnage on Trump's shoulders.

It ended how it began, with Democrats proving an airtight case that showed Donald Trump's absolute guilt but the GOP refusing to acknowledge the facts in the case. They knew Trump was guilty and hid behind arcane constitutional arguments to let themselves off the hook with MAGA voters.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Vicky Ward, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, documentary host and producer, and former CNN Senior Reporter, for an unfiltered conversation on Trump's authoritarian grip, Elon Musk's chaotic political ambitions, and the terrifying consequences of unchecked power. We unpack how Trump has surrounded himself with unqualified loyalists, and why Musk's third-party movement could merge tech oligarchy with MAGA populism. From the deadly floods in Texas to America's collapsing global credibility, we expose the cost of cruelty, the silence of Democrats, and what happens when spectacle replaces substance. Plus, Vicky discusses her new book, “The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy,” co-authored with James Patterson.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson for a scathing conversation on the cruelty, chaos, and corruption driving Trump's America. Rick is a political strategist, writer, speaker, and commentator, best known for his cutting political ads and no-nonsense takes. From the devastating floods in Texas, made worse by MAGA-led budget cuts, to the GOP's obsession with Trump's “Big, Beautiful Bill,” we expose how ideology has replaced governance. We also break down the collapse of the Trump–Musk alliance, the rise of spectacle politics, and whether a third party could ever challenge America's broken two-party system.

With just one week to go before the start of Donald Trump's second Impeachment, the GOP has once again rallied behind the former president; ending the bi-partisan furor that promised to force Trump out of American politics once and for all. The reality of the situation is that the state party hacks who control the GOP on a grassroots level have become infected by MAGA diehards who have but one litmus: how much you support the former president. They have threatened to primary and expel any congressmen who step out of line. Plus, Michael speaks with New Yorker staff writer Jelani Cobb on Biden's vision for American unity and much, much more.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan from the I've Had It podcast. Jenn and Pumps are known for speaking honestly about politics and calling out what they've had it with, and after the last few months of the Trump administration, we had plenty to discuss. From the cruelty baked into the so-called “big, beautiful bill” to the dystopian horror of “Alligator Alcatraz,” we break down how Trumpism has normalized authoritarian tactics, demonized immigrants, and turned suffering into spectacle. With sharp wit and unfiltered insight, we expose the MAGA movement's hypocrisy, the media's complicity, and what happens when cruelty becomes campaign strategy.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by veteran political journalist and analyst Tom LoBianco for a blistering deep dive into the unraveling bromance between Trump and Elon Musk and what it reveals about raw power, ego, and political survival in MAGA world. Tom has covered Trump's allies for years, reporting on Mike Pence for the Associated Press, CNN, and other outlets, and is the author of Piety & Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House. From the weaponization of ICE to whisper campaigns about Musk's immigration status, we unpack how Trump uses fear and retaliation as tools of control. We also explore the rise of extremist religious ideology inside the GOP, the chaos around “Alligator Alcatraz,” and whether Musk's third-party ambitions pose a real threat or are just another tech billionaire delusion.

Tomorrow's inauguration may spell the end for Donald Trump's disastrous presidency, but the monster he unleashed upon us January 6th will be with us for a generation. Michael discusses how the rioters were not some extraordinary group of hardened extremists, but rather, they come from our own communities; representing, as writer Hannah Arendt noted in her landmark 1963 New Yorker essay about the trial of Adolf Eichmann, "the banality of evil." The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson joins Michael to discuss how we go about dismantling Trump's ugly legacy and hold the rioters and those who supported them accountable.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump became the first President in US history to be impeached twice, this time for inciting an insurrection and sending a mob to attack the US capital in a desperate move to remain in power. The impeachment saw rare bi-partisan support with nine GOP representatives joining the democrats in calling for the president's ouster. The trial now moves to the Senate.

Within the ranks of the rioters was a more hardcore group of extremists who were bent on finding and exterminating lawmakers driven into hiding inside the Capitol.

The January 6th MAGA riots that saw thousands of Trump loyalists ransack the Capitol Building will stain the President's legacy and will likely shadow the GOP for decades. The revulsion for Trump has grown to a fever pitch with scores of lawmakers calling for his removal from office. This was always the inevitable end for Donald Trump,  the violence a by product of the lies and divisive rhetoric he used to stoke fear and foment rage. The only surprise is that it took this long to happen. It was a heavy day and hard to watch. So we decided to lighten the mood by reaching out to Ben Stiller.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm replaying an episode from last July featuring my conversation with Norm Eisen, attorney, author, legal analyst, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, founder of Democracy Defenders Action, and co-founder of The Contrarian. While chaos rains down on America and the world because of Donald Trump, I thought it was worth doing a temperature check on where we were just one year ago. At the time, Trump was still fighting it out on the campaign trail, and the biggest outrage was Judge Eileen Cannon's dismissal of the Mar-a-Lago documents case. Fast forward to now, and we're facing far more dangerous threats: ICE rounding people up in the streets, Trump's effort to shred the Constitution, and the looming threat of new wars. This conversation is a stark reminder of how far we've fallen, what's still at stake, and what we can do to save our country.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the corrupt and dysfunctional circus of Donald J Trump. Just two days before Congress meets to certify the  Presidential election, 11 renegade, Republican Senators have announced that they will not support a Biden victory. It's illegal, its unprecedented and it's shameless. But with two weeks left of the Trump administration, chaos has settled upon the Capital. Shady phone calls, and pleas for violence from his MAGA army have the nation on edge. Former Trump Campaign spokeswoman and MAGA cultist AJ Delgado gives Michael a rare interview and offers insight into the extreme madness enveloping Trumpworld.  Also, make sure to check out Mea Culpa: The Election Essays for the definitive political document of 2020.

It's illegal, its unprecedented and it's shameless. But with two weeks left of the Trump administration, chaos has settled upon the Capital. Shady phone calls, and pleas for violence from his MAGA army have the nation on edge. Former Trump Campaign spokeswoman and MAGA cultist AJ Delgado gives Michael a rare interview and offers insight into the extreme madness enveloping Trumpworld.  Also, make sure to check out Mea Culpa: The Election Essays for the definitive political document of 2020.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by my good friend Lev Parnas, a Soviet-born businessman and former associate of Rudy Giuliani, who has also chosen to speak out against Donald Trump. In this explosive episode, Lev lays out a jaw-dropping theory: Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu may be coordinating a global power play with devastating consequences. We discuss the confusing conflict in Iran, Trump's manipulation of foreign policy for personal gain, his grip on the National Guard, the weaponization of ICE, and a disturbing network of loyalists tied to Russia. This episode is a warning about the erasure of truth and who profits when democracy breaks down.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Deja Foxx, the 25-year-old Gen Z activist now running for Congress in Arizona's 7th district. Deja began her political journey a decade ago after a viral moment confronting Senator Jeff Flake about access to Planned Parenthood. Since then, she's devoted herself to organizing and advocating for her community. In this episode, we have a powerful conversation about Gen Z resistance, political survival, and what it means to fight for the future in the face of rising authoritarianism. Alongside her personal story, we unpack Trump's disastrous policy decisions, the weaponization of ICE, and the growing disconnect between political institutions and the people they claim to represent.

The madness of King Donald arrived in the state of Georgia and has morphed into a Frankenstein's monster that threatens to devour the Republican Party and doom their electoral chances in a pair of Senate run off races to be held January 5th. After releasing the Kraken of conspiracy and unsupported allegations of election fraud which saw members of their own party face death threats and online harassment, Trump proxies are now apoplectic at their own lawyers for advocating that voters boycott the election until these allegations are settled. Republican Party Reptiles like Newt Gingrich, who eagerly jumped on the conspiracy bandwagon weeks ago, now find themselves back peddling furiously; trying to put the genie back in the bottle. But it's too late, leaving us to wonder, "has the whole world gone crazy?" Michael speaks with Law and Crime's Adam Klasfeld to get these answers and more in a revealing conversation about what's happening at the heart of these ridiculous lawsuits.

This week on Mea Culpa, Michael finds himself at peak frustration as the Trump Train barrels this country towards oblivion. How can a nation that is built upon reason find itself in such an unreasonable position, where a two-bit, wannabe despot can work the corners of our legal system to halt the entire transition of power? With the country exhausted from the trauma of this never ending election and the looming specter of death from COVID, we all are stuck in a terrible limbo. Searching for answers and rational thought, Michael speaks with Harvard University Professor of Constitutional Law, Laurence Tribe. One of the main architects of Al Gore's recount fight from the 2000 election, Tribe has argued 35 cases in front of the Supreme Court and finds himself mired in the current mess; advising the Biden team from afar as one frivolous lawsuit after another is filed. His words provide a balm for the ever present irritation of Trump and his team of legal crows. Also, make sure to check o...

After staging a flop of a multi-million-dollar birthday parade and threatening protesters with “massive force,” we examine the chilling implications for democracy, free speech, and the rule of law.

On this episode of the Mea Culpa Week in Review, we examine the last 72 hours in the mind of Donald J. Trump as he attempts to overturn the election with his bogus fraud claims. In addition, we look at two of his most creepy errand boys, Lindsay Graham and Rudy Giuliani and wonder what sort of kompromat Trump possesses that they could stomach their roles in his defense. Rudy has gone even more batshit insane and was put in charge of Trump's entire legal strategy while Lindsay Graham is driving around Washington in his windowless van looking to lure people in with promises of candy if they only throw out those legal ballots. Finally, we talk to national security expert John Cipher who for 28 years served in the CIA's clandestine service ultimately as the European Chief of Station. He talks with Michael about the role disinformation plays in President Trump's overall strategy to undermine the election and how his goal of sewing chaos hues closely to that of Vladimir Putin.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back fellow Meidas Mighty member Michael Popok, host of MeidasTouch's Legal AF podcast and YouTube channel, and founder of The Popok Firm. Together, we do a deep dive into Trump's authoritarian power grab as he falsely brands peaceful protesters in California as “insurrectionists.” With Trump mobilizing the National Guard, deploying Marines, and pushing the limits of executive authority, Popok explains how Trump is testing constitutional boundaries and using manufactured crises to silence dissent. From violations of the Posse Comitatus Act to plans for military parades on Trump's birthday, Cohen and Popok expose how MAGA is hijacking patriotism, crushing civil liberties, and laying the legal groundwork for a dictatorship in plain sight.
