The Art of Deflection + A Conversation with Dean Obeidallah
Description
Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by author, lawyer, comedian, and SiriusXM host Dean Obeidallah for a wide-ranging and urgent conversation about secrecy, cruelty, and collapsing accountability. We break down the selective release of the Epstein files and why partial transparency risks becoming obstruction, Trump’s disturbing response to the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, and the dangerous normalization of dehumanizing political rhetoric. We also examine the renaming of national institutions for personal glorification, unchecked executive action in Venezuela, the sidelining of Congress, and the looming loss of ACA subsidies. From performative compliance to open self-enrichment, this episode connects the chaos into a stark warning about what happens when the rule of law becomes optional.
