Description
Welcome to the NEW HOME of Mea Culpa – the ONLY place to find new episodes of Michael Cohen’s hit podcast. Cohen, the former attorney and personal “fixer” for Donald J. Trump, once vowed to take a bullet for the President. But that was before the country was brought to its knees by Trump’s lies and personal madness. While Cohen was imprisoned in his own home, with his life, reputation, and livelihood destroyed, he went on a mission to right the wrongs he perpetuated on behalf of his former boss. Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen, is a raw and unfiltered podcast that shines light into the dark corners of our current American Apocalypse. Tune in twice weekly for exclusive interviews and candid conversations with the New York Times best-selling author and self-proclaimed “gangster lawyer,” as he sets to dismantle the Trump legacy and uncover the truth… and nothing but the truth.

1Today on Mea Culpa, I am joined by Malcolm Nance, a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief, New York Times bestselling author, and expert on terrorism, extremism, and insurgency. We discuss global and domestic political issues, with a focus on Middle East conflicts and U.S. foreign policy. Nance explains Iran's long-term strategy to become a regional superpower and its use of proxies to influence Israel and Saudi Arabia. We also critique Trump’s isolationist stance, warning that it could weaken U.S. democracy and global alliances like NATO. Nance emphasizes the need for full support of Ukraine in its fight against Russia and warns of potential domestic insurgency if Trump regains power.

So God’s until another winter
I'm surprised that the Springfield crowd didn't throw shoes at him
One of the best truth podcasts there is. ✌🏻🇺🇸
You weren’t asked because you whine like him
You have to be able to ask a follow up question. That last interview with Kamala’s pick, it was so obvious obvious that you’re just following the script. Be a better interviewer! Otherwise I enjoy you very much.
rnc and Walmart. boys pants half off
Kid rock sucks and is a fake just like traitor Trump. I’m from Michigan and know all about that jackass. He grew up rich as hell and thinks he’s some kind of rapper but now plays terrible country crap. He’s a fake ass person and always sucked. He knows nothing of government or anything of importance. F off kid rock, born with the silver spoon up his dumb ass.
Great interview.
I love both of those guys ! The best episodes are when norm is on.
where are the 2021 and 2022 podcasts?
I just found the comment section. I love your podcast. I look forward to Friday and Monday mornings to here them..my only critique is that you let your guest speak or finish their thoughts more often. I know you get excited at times and you cut them off to put your 2 cents in. then they lose track at finishing what they were going to say. I know it's your show, but please let them finish their thoughts. Robert G. in Texas
Nancy Mace is from South Carolina. We in NC have our own crazies, we don't need her too.
Traitor Trump has got to be losing his little mind.
hey Michael I love the podcast. one thing that I can suggest, if I may. Let your guests speak , there are times that you cut them off , out of excitement. Let them speak, they are guests with knowledge. That's my only critique of the show.
Mr. Cohen, I am in YVR at 7:00 in the morning with my in-laws, wife and toddler, waiting for a flight to Orange county, I really don't want to be on this trip. so I put on your podcast and within the first 5 minutes I have a smile on my face.
Thank you & Fred for a great show! Keep telling us what we must do to save our democracy & our children's lives. Time to get in the race, Michael. You'll scare the bejesus out of the competition!
pam is a wise lady I like listening to her xx
I just do not understand why there’s so many moronic people who STILL give that clown #trumpthetraitior money Just really ignorant people.
I threaten my son to vote blue. He knows better not to. 😂
brilliant as always
