Abracadabra…Poof! We’re Great Again! + A Conversation with Malcolm Nance

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Malcolm Nance, a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief, New York Times bestselling author, and a leading expert on terrorism, extremism, and insurgency. We break down Trump’s accelerating slide into authoritarianism, from demanding social-media history from tourists to judges blocking his attempts to federalize the National Guard. Malcolm and I dig into Trump’s racist immigration strategy, the growing shift toward a surveillance state, and the intelligence fallout from his Venezuela “drug-boat” strikes and dangerous flirtations with war. We also examine the stakes behind the Epstein grand jury file release, the Russia-Ukraine peace-talk leaks, and why Trump’s foreign policy increasingly mirrors Putin’s worldview.
