Mea Culpa

• Knock Knock! Who’s There? DHS + A Conversation With Walter Masterson

  Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Walter Masterson, comedian, political satirist, and social media provocateur known for infiltrating MAGA rallies and exposing hypocrisy with humor. We break down the fallout from Signal-Gate and how Trump’s allies are spinning the controversy, Chuck Schumer’s latest moves in the Senate and whether Democratic leadership is doing enough to counter Republican extremism, and Trump’s ever-evolving disinformation machine. Walter and I also examine the role of social media in spreading political lies, the dangerous rise of cult-like devotion within the MAGA movement, and how satire can be a powerful weapon against authoritarianism.

• The Indefensible Spin of Signal-Gate + A Conversation With Anthony Scaramucci

  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.

• A Farewell to the Judiciary + A Conversation With Nick Akerman

  Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Nick Akerman, former federal prosecutor, Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, and the Assistant United States Attorney in the SDNY, where he specialized in white-collar crime. We break down Trump’s escalating attacks on the judiciary, including his push to impeach Judge James Boasberg and Chief Justice Roberts’ rare public rebuke. Nick explains how Trump’s efforts to undermine judicial independence mirror authoritarian regimes and what legal safeguards remain to check his power. We also discuss Trump’s violations of court orders in deportation cases, the dangers of his expanded executive authority, and the legal battles ahead as he attempts to reshape the government in his image.
