The Intersection with Michael Popok Full Episode - 7/22/2025
What's at the Intersection? Major developments in the Epstein pedophile coverup by Trump, including Trump perhaps pressuring Epstein's co conspirator to say Trump was never involved in order to get a pardon, exploiting a little covered relationship with Trump's DOJ; the DOJ taking steps to get Habba back her job as NJ US Attorney; Trump chickening out about firing the Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell as Trump's minions claim that he committed "fraud" to pressure him to go; Trump's own Commerce Secretary's "former" company betting against the legality of Trump's tariffs; and Tulsi Gabbard discovering phony evidence that she won't reveal that there was a "seditious conspiracy" of intelligence community officials to claim Russia colluded with Trump to win the election. Join Popok @ The Intersection, the newest podcast on the MeidasTouch Network.

Trump Insider Blows Whistle on Dark Past on Live TV
Trump’s inner circle and former chief of staff got banished to Al Jazeera to tell the world that Trump is definitely IN the Epstein pedophile crime files. , and that he didn’t think it was his place to tell Trump to not blame hillary for killing epstein, before trump now says it was a hoax.

Trump Faces Humiliating Defeat by Reporter in Lawsuit
Journalists and Media Companies --not named CBS or ABC-- are starting to fight back against Trump and win. Michael Popok reports in a win this week for award winning investigative journalist Bob Woodward and his publisher against Trump in NY in a money fight over the ownership of the "Trump Tapes". A NY Federal Judge just found that Trump can't sue for $50 million because, as alleged, he is not the "co-author" of his own interview audio tapes with Woodward, and that he will have difficulty ever successfully suing the reporter and the publisher.

Legal AF Full Episode - 7/19/2025
Join Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok on the top rated Legal AF podcast, as they take on: (1) the depravity and immorality of Trump and MAGA House and Senate leadership as they continue to coverup the Epstein Pedophile Criminal Case and Trump's links to Epstein; 2) why Rupert Murdoch chose now to stick the shiv in Trump by running a story about Trump's close friendship and secret language he used with Epstein; 3) why Trump will rue the day that he filed the "defamation" case against Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal; 4) how Trump creates a permission structure that allows other sexual abuse to go unreported and be "normalized," 5) how the Supreme Court is out of touch with societal values and morals as it hands Trump another win to allow for the destruction of the Dept. of Education and so much more at the intersection and firewall that defends our democracy.

Trump Scared of SCOTUS Ruling Devises New Plan
Trump knows that the Supreme Court, based on a May decision, won’t support him out and out firing “without cause” —like fraud or a crime—the Federal Reserve Chair and the nation’s central banker Jay Powell. Michael Popok calls out Trump’s efforts to use the F word (fraud) against Powell as he walks around with a firing letter in his back pocket, and why it will backfire with the electorate..and the US economy.

Trump Lawyer Is Toast at Her Final Meeting of Career?!! Ask ChatGPT
17 US Federal Judges in NJ are poised to meet this week and vote to rebuke Trump by refusing to extend the 120-day interim tenure of his pick for US Attorney Alina Habba. But does that mean that Habba is toast for a permanent appointment through the Senate? Would Trump try to breach Senate protocol and shove her candidacy through without the support of NJ Senators Booker or Kim? Popok breaks it all down in his latest hot take.

Trump DOJ Throws Him to the Wolves After Cover-Up
Trump’s own DOJ filed a new brief with the Supreme Court that explains to the world why Trump’s OWN coverup of the Epstein predatory sexual behavior is so wrong, but could also lead Trump to pardon Epstein’s co-conspirator G. Maxwell. Popok looks at the new DOJ filing, which puts a lie to Trump’s “nothing to see here; boring stuff” approach to scandal management, as Jim Comey’s daughter leaves office by calling Trump a “tyrant.”
