About this listen

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Michael Fanone, former Metropolitan D.C. police officer, January 6 hero, author, and political activist, for a raw and unfiltered conversation about truth, trauma, and the consequences of political gaslighting. Fresh off his appearance at Special Counsel Jack Smith’s testimony last week, Fanone reflects on surviving January 6, the lasting PTSD faced by officers whose lived experiences were denied, and how confirmation bias and media distortion continue to endanger lives. Together, we examine the weaponization of misinformation, threats against truth-tellers, and the growing normalization of state violence. This episode confronts what happens when accountability disappears, and why speaking the truth remains an act of resistance.
