About this episode
On this episode of Mea Culpa, I welcome back Glenn Kirschner, former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, NBC and MSNBC legal analyst, and host of the podcast Justice Matters. We reflect on the humanitarian legacy of Jimmy Carter, contrasting it with Trump’s authoritarian agenda. Glenn and I discuss the ethical decisions President Biden faces as his term concludes, particularly regarding presidential pardons. We also examine the role of Senate Republicans in confirming Trump’s controversial cabinet picks and their potential—or failure—to act as a moderating influence. Glenn powerfully warns of Trump’s intent to erode public confidence in American institutions and emphasizes the urgent need to fight for our democracy.
