Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Dave Aronberg, former Palm Beach County State Attorney, legal analyst, and fellow MeidasTouch contributor. We dig into how Trump is reshaping the political battlefield, from lying about the government shutdown to staging a military stunt with Pete Hegseth for pure political theater. We break down how he weaponizes immigration debates, twisting health care and border policy into soundbites, while Democrats can struggle to cut through with clear messaging. Aronberg and I also examine Trump’s push to bend the National Guard and the courts to his will, and what James Comey’s indictment signals about accountability in a system under strain.

You’re Not Thinking with that Bule TIE Around your Neck (When YOU SAY )
“I DONT THINKâ€
Because You DONT know Who is Paying THE Military
It’s The Millionaires Dude – The Ones who are killing innocent women & children in other Countries When The Rule is
Thou Shalt Not Kill.
Remember, they are taught to march like Robots. Then their Bodies are placed in the same Cemetery — While Those Who are still alive become the Home Less Majority (unless they are Generals) who do get paid.
Do Your Homework. A PARTY is At A PARTY Being Threatened to LIE.
Because This Country Has Never Been United.
That’s why Honest Abe was killed at a Party – because He Refused to Change The WORD Slavery to Capitalism for everyBody.
That was when they switched their Names as Democrats & Republicans.
Do YOUR HOMEWORK about their History.
I am saying we all need to love each other and stop this stupid nonsense because this is really stupid and this is scary and dumb
Aronberg is the guy who said Pam Blondi was going to be a reasonable attorney general when she got appointed!?!?
Donate to the hospitals
I want everybody to donate money to the hospital for the Medicare and the Medicaid for everybody's medicine
I said this to Lev but you need to hear this too Cohen esp on “Mea Culpaâ€
I’ve been following and subscribed to Lev since I found him. I’ve yet to hear the story of how he got conned to work for and create the T regime we are in. Cohen tells his story about getting hit by them but while I like everything both Lev and Cohen are saying now, none of us helped him like they did . Where’s the real mea culpa story? Lev and Michael were his fixers. None of us were. Why were you?
💪💙ðŸ‘💜💯😉 The winning ticket.
How much did all those flights cost? Not to mention the risk of ever having all of them in the same room?
We're bailing out Argentina, not Venezuela. We're at war with Venezuela.
I am still shocked at how many MAGA supporters there still are. They believe everything Trump and the Republicans tell them. It’s amazing to me how they never do their research and see all the lies they peddle to their base. These people are tone deaf. They are the biggest uninformed group of people I have ever seen.
Suggestion: Please post the written proof of the laws you are speaking about.
I think ALL PEOPLE need to see it to believe it.
Actually hold up a book/ document or piece of paper from the constitution On CAMERA that states the law.
This should be proof that a law is being broken and the consequences that follow.
'Argentina buddy, not Venezuela.'
Argentina not Venezuela
3:27 He is going to burn it down either way, come he’ll or high water. They did it to not rubber stamp the government funding of the BBB which is going to hurt everyone!
Trump will have anyone killed,and like you say they will change the army any time any place anywhere.BEWARE TRUMP WILL ORDER THE KILL ORDER,PEOPKE WILL DIE
Usa is the laughing stock after the speech to the generals
The speech to the generals was embarrassing and showed speakers with brains like hamsters
New hotels and different farms .with 100s and thousands of people running the new country with amazing labour.
I would laugh my head off if all immigrants went back to Mexico because they could build Mexico and make it one of the most lucrative country in the world .
We have 36 million people in the usa ,and these citizens need to come out their rabbit holes if you don't agree with trump and the republicans
People are scared ,that is why people are not coming out to complain
Trump runs off to play golf because he is a coward
Someone must stand up to trump to take over his position
Eventually people will fight each other to feed there families
Food will get scarce and people will die
Innocent people will not get emergency treatment
People will die
Cohen! It is Argentina, not Venezuela, that Trump and Scott Bessent have independently decided to use $20 billion of US taxpayer dollars to bailout. I suspect they were not aware that Argentina had cut their tariffs to make it very easy and lucrative for China to purchase soy beans from them rather the Usa!
Destruction is easy. Construction takes effort, patience, and vision. Now look around and ask yourself, which party seems more comfortable on the side of destruction.
Claiming that both sides are equally corrupt is not only untrue it's a total cop out from anyone who simply refuses to accept that truth that no administration in our lifetime has ever been as openly corrupt as this one. While I may blame the DEM for their weaknesses and seeming unwillingness to confront this corruption as they should the MAGA who have the majority in both houses have abdicated their role and their responsibility to act as a guardrail to abuse by the Executive Branch and they have not. They continue to do nothing to pass legislation that benefits even their own constituents. MAGA is a cancer that's killing democracy and it must be removed.
If Trump was really a great leader he would be surrounded by smart people but instead he’s afraid of anybody that disagrees or tests him. These people might as well be brainless robots!
Keeping one foot in the trump camp about his criminality is not looking good for ANYONE who's doing it….including M Cohen…..his criminality is universal and dates back to his youth…..covers all areas of crime
It’s Argentina he is trying to bailout
