Mea Culpa

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Adam Parkhomenko, Democratic strategist, former DNC National Field Director, and advisor to Hillary Clinton. As MAGA floods the media zone with its talking points, I wanted Adam’s perspective as a strategist on how to combat Trump’s tightening grip on power and the collapse of political accountability in Washington. We examine how Democrats lost control of the narrative and brainstorm creative ways to reclaim it. We also discuss what James Comey’s indictment reveals about the state of justice, Trump’s failure to improve our international standing, and the impact of Charlie Kirk's murder. From the stalled Epstein files to Trump’s use of the National Guard, we expose how chaos has become the core of Trump’s political strategy, and what it will take to fight back.

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Dave Aronberg, former Palm Beach County State Attorney, legal analyst, and fellow MeidasTouch contributor. We dig into how Trump is reshaping the political battlefield, from lying about the cause of the government shutdown to staging a military stunt with Pete Hegseth for pure political theater. We break down how he weaponizes immigration debates, twisting health care and border policy into soundbites, while Democrats can struggle to cut through with clear messaging. Aronberg and I also examine Trump’s push to bend the National Guard and the courts to his will, and what James Comey’s indictment signals about accountability in a system under strain.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Brian Karem, veteran journalist, White House correspondent, political commentator, author of Free the Press, and host of the Just Ask the Question podcast. Brian worked alongside me on my book Revenge, exposing how Trump weaponized the DOJ against me. With James Comey’s recent indictment, that history is more relevant than ever. Together, we revisit our fight for public records, the pressure tactics used against us, and what these abuses mean for accountability today. We also dig into Trump’s disastrous UN speech, his looming government shutdown, and what it all reveals about his unfit leadership.

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Charlie Sykes, political commentator, author of “How the Right Lost Its Mind,” writer of the Substack newsletter “To the Contrary,” and MSNBC contributor, for a hard-hitting conversation on Trump’s unraveling of American leadership at home and abroad. Once at the center of the conservative movement, Sykes brings invaluable insight into Trump’s grip on the GOP. We break down Trump’s UN General Assembly speech, his pivot to isolationism, and how his rhetoric is reshaping the GOP into an authoritarian, nationalist movement. We also dig into Trump’s attacks on the press, the fight over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, and what escalating political violence means for America’s future.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Michael Fanone, former Metropolitan D.C. police officer, January 6 hero, author, and political activist, for a powerful conversation about America’s descent into political violence. We reflect on how recent events, from the fallout over Charlie Kirk’s assassination to Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, are reshaping the debate over free speech in America. Fanone also weighs in on the deadly toll of gun violence on police, Trump’s reckless federalization of law enforcement, and how dangerous rhetoric from the top fuels attacks on officers and communities alike. From corporate capitulation to the global rejection of American authoritarianism, this episode issues a stark warning about the danger of apathy and why every American must keep fighting back.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Dr. Steven Hassan, mental health expert, author, and host of the Cults, Culture & Coercion podcast, for a chilling look at how MAGA operates like a mind control movement. Drawing from his own experience in the Moonies and decades of studying coercive psychology, Hassan explains why Trump’s followers remain loyal despite scandals, how repetition and fear fuel authoritarian obedience, and why MAGA loyalists must be seen as victims of psychological warfare. We dig into the overlap between cult tactics, Christian nationalism, and Trump’s constant attacks on the press, as well as how the ongoing Epstein revelations expose the lengths to which the powerful will go to protect themselves. From Putin’s playbook to Supreme Court rulings, this episode reveals how authoritarian influence spreads and how we can break its grip before it’s too late.

After thousands of years, Michael Cohen finally snagged the Mea Culpa guest of a lifetime, the one and only God. In a wide-ranging divine conversation, Cohen and God confront America’s growing epidemic of political violence after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Trump’s reckless push to federalize local police, and the escalating dangers of authoritarianism. God doesn’t hold back on Trump’s lies, Republican scapegoating, or the toxic weaponization of faith for political gain. From school shootings to immigration crackdowns, they explore how fear and division are tearing the country apart, and what moral lessons are being ignored in the process. Equal parts sobering and darkly funny, this episode proves that even God is worried about the state of American democracy.

With reporting experience across Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil, Marcus brings a global lens to Trump’s authoritarian playbook. We dig into the Epstein files and how Trump is weaponizing secrecy around Epstein’s crimes, his dangerous coziness with Putin, and his push to rebrand the Pentagon into a “Department of War.” We also break down GOP hypocrisy on vaccines, RFK Jr.’s disastrous Senate hearing, and the economic chaos Trump is fueling with his attacks on the Federal Reserve.
