THE OFFICIAL MEA CULPA WITH MICHAEL COHEN ARCHIVE

Donald Trump’s sleazy solicitation of Vladimir Putin to slime the Bidens is just one more reminder of why Trump is so dangerous. How many times is he going to beg the Russians to save his ass? It’s weird, it’s wrong and it’s disturbing. Meanwhile, the war rages on; killing and maiming thousands. But all Trump cares about is his political future. Malcolm Nance joins us from Ukraine to give a report from the front lines. Do not miss this episode!

Last week’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Kentanji Brown Jackson proved that the GOP are a bunch of racist goons. But if that wasn’t enough, the Washington Post revealed texts from Ginni Thomas, (wife of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas), sent to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows that were nothing short of insane; invoking Jesus Christ himself to overturn the election and threatening that “the Biden Crime Family would be sent to barges off Gitmo.” Later Rick Wilson joins to diagnose the sickness at the heart of the MAGA era GOP.

The craven hypocrisy of the GOP is on full display with their attacks on President Biden over his handling of the war in Ukraine. We explore the Putin Wing of the GOP and why they can’t stop loving the bloodthirsty dictator. Finally, Neal Kaytal joins to tell us what it all means politically.

President Zelensky’s bold address to Congress was a reminder that great leaders are not ordained but forged by circumstance. President Zelensky answered the call when his nation needed him most. The question now is whether President Biden can meet those expectations while stopping short of committing the US to World War III. We’ll break it all down for you as usual. Miles Taylor joins Michael to discuss how it all breaks down politically.

Russia did the unthinkable this week by invading Ukraine; creating the gravest crisis in Europe since the second world war. The GOP wants you to believe it happened because Joe Biden is weak. The reality is far more complicated and has more to do with decades of Russian anger over a 1990 promise from Germany. Then there’s the Trump factor. The former president and now the GOP keeps pushing Putin’s propaganda. Later, Nandini Jammi joins Mea Culpa to discuss the disinformation economy and how this stuff gets monetized across the right wing media machine.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.
