56:33Now PlayingToday on Mea Culpa, I welcome back John Dean, former White House counsel to President Nixon during Watergate, to break down the constitutional crisis unfolding as Trump defies judicial orders, expands executive power, and monetizes the presidency. Dean brings a unique perspective, having witnessed Nixon’s cover-up firsthand before testifying against him. From the court ruling against Trump’s misuse of emergency tariffs to new threats against Harvard and ICE deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, Dean and I trace the parallels between Watergate and today’s brazen attacks on checks and balances. We also unpack Project 2025, Trump’s shadow government-in-waiting, and why the next showdown between the judiciary and the presidency could decide the fate of American democracy.
