My Knee Won’t Bend + A Conversation With...

MeidasTouch Network
About this episode

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jim Acosta, former CNN anchor and chief White House correspondent, who made headlines for his heated clashes with Donald Trump during press briefings. After recently departing CNN following a proposed shift change, Jim left with a powerful message: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant. Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear." Today, we break down the latest chaos in Trump’s presidency, including his secretive prisoner exchange with Russia, the bizarre Musk-Trump press conference, and extreme government cuts. We also analyze Trump’s obsession with tariffs, his fixation on annexing territories like Gaza and Greenland, and how his authoritarian tendencies threaten global stability.
