Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jill Wine-Banks, former Watergate prosecutor, legal analyst, author of The Watergate Girl, former U.S. General Counsel of the Army, and host of multiple podcasts. With her deep expertise in law and presidential power, we break down Trump’s alarming early actions in his new term. Following this week’s news of Trump claiming the U.S. should 'own' Gaza and offering CIA employees buyouts, there’s no shortage of critical developments to discuss. Jill and I analyze his authoritarian overreach, from purging DOJ prosecutors to pushing extreme cabinet picks like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr. She also explains the constitutional violations in Trump’s flurry of executive orders, the dangers of his proposed government restructuring, and the reckless foreign policy moves already taking shape.

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
