Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Maz Jobrani, an Iranian-American comedian, actor, and political commentator known for using humor to address race, immigration, and authoritarianism. We unpack the dizzying spectacle of Trump’s foreign policy and domestic chaos, breaking down how his so-called multi-trillion-dollar deals in the Middle East are more about showboating than substance. Maz and I also dig into how Trump’s obsession with authoritarian optics is endangering democracy at home, from ICE agents acting like a secret police to tariffs designed to benefit billionaires. This episode exposes the dangerous collision of propaganda, racism, and corruption fueling Trump’s playbook. Thanks to our sponsors: Graza: Take your food to the next level with Graza Olive Oil.
