Podcasts about Mea culpa

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back JoJo From Jerz, political commentator, activist, and host of the Are You F'ng Kidding Me? and The Siren Podcast for a fiery breakdown of Trump's escalating power plays. From the absurdity of the Cracker Barrel culture wars to his federal police takeover schemes, JoJo and I tackle gerrymandering in Texas, GOP attacks on voting rights, and how Democrats should fight fire with fire. We also dig into Trump's hollow “law and order” rhetoric, his self-indulgent cabinet meetings, and the dangerous politicization of institutions like the Federal Reserve and FEMA. With humor and hard truth, JoJo exposes how MAGA thrives on distraction while dismantling democracy in plain sight.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by fellow MeidasTouch host Adam Mockler for a cross-generational conversation on power, corruption, and truth. Mockler is a Gen Z political commentator with over one million subscribers on YouTube, known for his sharp analysis, fearless critiques of authoritarianism, and ability to connect complex issues to a younger audience. We dive into the continued secrecy around the Epstein files, what their cover-up reveals about who really pulls the strings, and how Trump's broken promises on transparency are eroding even his own base. Mockler shares how Gen Z views this scandal, demanding accountability while growing increasingly disillusioned with institutions that protect the powerful. We also tackle Trump's authoritarian wins, the costs of mass deportations, the weaponization of the courts, and why misinformation and culture wars are threatening social cohesion.

Mea Culpa examines the growing evidence that the January 6th Storming of the Capital was incited and lead by a few very violent actors; including a 100 member contingent of the Proud Boys who were some of the very first rioters to breach the capital building. We take an inside look at the case against their leadership and how it was possible the FBI underestimated them as an extremist threat. Then we look at how Rudy Giuliani became Russia's most useful idiot and an unwitting dupe for disinformation. Later Michael speaks with intelligence expert, author and MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance about the coming extremist storm.    To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by legal scholar, author of "Big Dirty Money," and podcast host Jennifer Taub for a powerful conversation about the law, accountability, and the dark truths the DOJ keeps dodging. We dig into the renewed focus on Jeffrey Epstein, why the files remain sealed, what the courts are trying to hide, and how power continues to shield predators. We also unpack Trump's immunity ruling, the danger of politicized courts, and how MAGA is rewriting the rules in real time. With the ghost of Epstein haunting Trump, this episode confronts the legal rot protecting the powerful, and what we can do about it.

Mea Culpa examines the right wing media's attempt to white wash the Capital Riot. Lawmakers and pundits keep trying to paint the January 6th insurrection as either the work of Antifa or outside “agent provocateurs,” sent to disrupt an otherwise peaceful gathering. Like the Big Lie that begat January 6th, the more these outlets push this alternative history, the more people are prone to believe what they read or hear. Michael speaks with former Obama White House Ethics Czar and Special Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee Norman Eisen.      To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by former Montana Senator Jon Tester, a third-generation farmer, former school teacher, and current co-host of Grounded, as well as a political analyst for MSNBC. From his seat on the Senate Appropriations Committee and as Chair of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Tester built a reputation for cutting through the noise and fighting for working people. We unpack how Trump's authoritarian rhetoric is deepening political divisions, the economic fallout from his tariffs, and why rising inflation continues to hammer working families. Tester weighs in on military weapons deals, the fragility of American institutions, and why Democrats must stop playing defense. We also discuss the renewed focus on Jeffrey Epstein, what it reveals about elite power structures, and why truth still matters in an age of disinformation.

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.
