Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Brooklyn Dad Defiant, an outspoken political commentator known for his sharp wit, relentless criticism of Trump, and humorous takes on today’s political chaos. BDD is the author of “The Bigliest Loser” and publishes the popular Substack “DEFIANT Dispatches.” Today, we break down the constitutional crisis unfolding as the government defies a Supreme Court order to return a wrongfully deported immigrant, threatening the very foundation of due process. From the fallout of Trump’s reckless tariff war to the silencing of student dissent and the billionaire takeover of our legal institutions, BDD exposes how democracy is being dismantled piece by piece, and why the fight to save it has never been more urgent.

But now for the news.

0:31.1

You know, when I wrote the book Disloyal, I thought I'd already seen the bottom.

0:36.2

I thought that I'd seen the ugliest face of unchecked power,
