Pardon Moi? + A Conversation With Glenn Kirschner

On this episode of Mea Culpa, I welcome back Glenn Kirschner, former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, NBC and MSNBC legal analyst, and host of the podcast Justice Matters. We reflect on the humanitarian legacy of Jimmy Carter, contrasting it with Trump’s authoritarian agenda. Glenn and I discuss the ethical decisions President Biden faces as his term concludes, particularly regarding presidential pardons. We also examine the role of Senate Republicans in confirming Trump’s controversial cabinet picks and their potential—or failure—to act as a moderating influence. Glenn powerfully warns of Trump’s intent to erode public confidence in American institutions and emphasizes the urgent need to fight for our democracy.

Ben Is Back! + A Conversation With Ben Stiller

As we approach the new year, I want to replay a Best of Mea Culpa episode. On January 7th, 2021—the day after the insurrection—I sat down with the incredible actor Ben Stiller. At the time, Biden was about to take office, but with a new Trump term on the horizon, many of the topics we discussed remain strikingly relevant. We delved into conspiracy theories, the regulation of misinformation on social media, Trump’s divisiveness, and my personal insights from working with him. Of course, having a comedic legend on the podcast, we also touched on lighter topics like Stiller portraying me on SNL, his love for The Beatles, and the art of ad-libbing in films.

Anand, a bestselling author of Winners Take All and The Persuaders, is also an MSNBC analyst and a former foreign correspondent and columnist for The New York Times.

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by my good friend JoJo From Jerz, a popular Twitter personality known for her smart, hilarious, and sarcastic political commentary, and host of Are You F'ing Kidding Me? With JoJoFromJerz. JoJo and I dive into the impact of the recent election, focusing on how Trump’s campaign used grievance-driven messaging and conservative media to sway swing voters, particularly young men. JoJo critiques Democrats for avoiding these media spaces, which allowed influencers like Joe Rogan and Charlie Kirk to bolster Trump’s base. We also discuss the rising normalization of hate and nationalism, warning that Trump’s authoritarian rhetoric poses a threat to democratic norms. Together, we emphasize the need for urgent, authentic engagement from Democrats to counter Trump’s influence and guard against a drift toward authoritarianism.
