Mea Culpa

Today on Mea Culpa, I had the pleasure of welcoming our good friend Tara Setmayer to discuss the upcoming presidential election. Tara is a prominent political commentator and the co-founder and CEO of The Seneca Project, a bipartisan super PAC led by women that aims to rally women voters in swing states to support Kamala Harris by highlighting women’s rights issues. Together, we delved into Kamala Harris’ campaign marketing strategy, explored ways to build support in swing states, and addressed Trump’s recent comments about Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.Thanks to our sponsor:Head to https://ollie.com and use code: COHEN to receive 60% off your first box of meals when you subscribe today!Subscribe to Michael's NEW Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMichaelCohenShowJoin us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PoliticalBeatdownAdd the Mea Culpa podcast feed: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenAdd the Political Beatdown podcast feed: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdown Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on Mea Culpa, I am honored to speak with Fred Guttenberg, who became a powerful voice for gun reform after the tragic death of his 14-year-old daughter, Jaime, in the Parkland mass shooting in 2018. Fred’s public journey began at a vigil where his moving words captured the nation's attention and ignited his relentless advocacy for gun safety. In our discussion, Fred and I will explore the significance of the upcoming election for gun violence prevention, reflect on recent events like the school shooting in Georgia, and examine the support he has received from Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as his arrest during Trump’s third State of the Union Address.Thanks to our sponsors:Take the next step in improving your health, go to https://lumen.me/COHEN to get 15% off your Lumen.Go to SIMPLISAFE.com/meaculpa to protect your home this summer with 20% off any new SimpliSafe system when you sign up for Fast Protect Monitoring.Subscribe to Michael's NEW YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMichaelCohenShowJoin us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PoliticalBeatdownAdd the Mea Culpa podcast feed: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenAdd the Political Beatdown podcast feed: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdown Learn more about your ad choices.
