Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by former FBI counterintelligence special agent, legal analyst, and Yale University lecturer Asha Rangappa for an honest conversation on the Epstein files, corruption inside Trump’s DOJ, and the systematic dismantling of American democracy. We break down the shocking meetings between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Ghislaine Maxwell, what immunity deals really mean, and why Trump’s team is working to control the Epstein narrative as it spirals. We expose how this case ties into broader efforts to weaponize the justice system, rig elections through gerrymandering, and silence institutions that should hold power accountable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
