    Mar 10 2025
    Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by my good friend Joe Walsh, former Republican Congressman, host of The Social Contract with Joe Walsh, and fierce Trump critic. We break down Trump’s chaotic economic policies, including his flip-flopping on tariffs, extreme government cuts, and the dangerous grip he has on the GOP. Joe and I discuss how Trump's mass layoffs at the VA and other federal agencies are devastating American workers and veterans, the GOP’s fear-driven politics, and the growing authoritarianism within the Republican Party. We also explore the lack of Democratic opposition and what needs to be done to push back against Trump’s reckless agenda.

  • I’m Not the Queen of the Con! + A Conversation With Anna Delvey
    Feb 28 2025
    Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Anna Delvey, the subject of Netflix’s “Inventing Anna,” which dramatized claims that she convinced New York’s elite she was a German heiress. Eager to reclaim her own narrative, Anna sets the record straight, discussing the real events behind the headlines, the media’s portrayal of her, and the vision behind the Anna Delvey Foundation. We explore her legal battles, time in prison, ongoing immigration issues, and her latest projects, including a new media venture. Anna reflects on the power of perception, the fine line between ambition and deception, and what’s next for her as she moves beyond the scandal that defined her.

    Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jim Acosta, former CNN anchor and chief White House correspondent, who made headlines for his heated clashes with Donald Trump during press briefings.

Don’t give in to the fear."
