Summary

On this episode of Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Brian Karem, journalist, political commentator, White House correspondent, and host of the Just Ask The Question podcast. After a whirlwind week in politics, there’s no shortage of critical topics to tackle. With Trump’s controversial cabinet picks beginning their confirmation hearings, Brian and I delve into nominees like Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and Pam Bondi. We also break down Volume 1 of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s involvement in January 6th. Drawing from Brian’s extensive experience as a White House correspondent, we analyze the media’s role in enabling Trump’s narrative and discuss the challenges facing the press as we prepare for Trump’s return to office on Monday.
