About this episode

Malcolm Nance discusses the Ukraine War, the Wagner Group, and critiques Donald Trump’s threat to democracy.

Mea Culpa welcomes back our old friend Malcolm Nance. Nance has spent a significant amount of time this year on the frontlines of the Ukraine War and has a lot to say about the current situation there as well as what's happening inside Russia with the likes of the Wagner Group. He’s also a fierce critic of Donald Trump and the danger he poses to democracy. You may know Nance as the globally renowned expert on terrorism, extremism, and insurgency from his stunning new book, “They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency.” It became a New York Times best-seller as was his last book, the Plot to Hack America. He’s the counter-terrorism analyst for NBC and MSNBC. And Nance is considered one of the "Great African-Americans in Espionage” by the International Spy Museum.
