About this episode
Today on Mea Culpa, I speak with my friend Malcolm Nance, who delivers a chilling assessment of America’s standing in the world under Donald Trump. Malcolm is a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief, New York Times bestselling author, and a leading expert on terrorism, extremism, and insurgency. From Trump’s revived obsession with buying Greenland to spreading white nationalist propaganda during a meeting with South Africa’s president, Malcolm and I dissect how Trump is turning U.S. foreign policy into a global humiliation. We also break down his administration’s war on diplomacy, the billionaire cash grabs behind Project 2025, and the authoritarian playbook rapidly taking shape.
