Putin had Russian TV on its most-watched channel run semi-nude photos of Melania Trump a day or two after Trump and Musk called Putin to warn him not to escalate the war with Ukraine, a call Putin also denied ever happened. Michael Popok explores what Putin’s direct trolling of Trump means for Trump’s ability to end the war as promised, and what the strange relationship between Trump and Melania means for the rest of us.Head to https://ollie.com and use promo code: LEGALAF to receive 60% OFF your FIRST BOX of meals when you subscribe today!Join the LegalAF Patreon: https://Patreon.com/legalAFRemember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcastThe Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassanMea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenThe Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-showBurn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boatsMajority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdownLights On with Jessica Denson: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/lights-on-with-jessica-densonOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump just declared that he will call a phony “war” to justify a “national emergency” to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to begin the mass deportations of 11 million people using the military, approved by his DOD pick Pete Hegseth, on domestic soil to conduct mass raids and incarcerations. Michael Popok explains that Trump’s abuse of power will need to be challenged immediately in the Courts and the Senate will have to ensure that no phony “war” is declared to enable a power mad Trump from acting.Protect your home with 50% off a new SimpliSafe system, plus a free indoor security camera, when you sign up for Fast Protect Monitoring.

Trump has fired the FBI not allowing them to do any background checks on his cabinet and administration picks, and he plans to order that national security clearance be given to people who are compromised ethically, criminally, financially, or have drug addictions. Michael Popok details how the Senate needs to oppose Tulsi Gabbard (possible ties to Russia); RFK Jr (drug addiction); Gaetz (possible sex trafficking and drugs) and Hegseth (possible sex assault); and force Trump to withdraw them or put them through full FBI vetting for the American people to see.

We have a 10 Commandment fight that has broken out in the Bible Belt, and a victory — although likely short term — for religious freedom. Michael Popok breaks down a new emergency order from an Louisiana Federal Judge blocking the MAGA Louisiana Governor and Legislature from compelling that every public class room display a giant 10 Commandment poster, and why Justice Alito — an arch conservative Christian — will likely overturn it on the way to the Supreme Court.Ollie: Head to https://ollie.com and use promo code: LEGALAF to receive 60% OFF your FIRST BOX of meals when you subscribe today!Join the LegalAF Patreon: https://Patreon.com/legalAFRemember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcastThe Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassanMea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenThe Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-showBurn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boatsMajority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdownLights On with Jessica Denson: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/lights-on-with-jessica-densonOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

The podcast dives into the chaotic start of Trump’s new Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, whose challenges seem to mount daily. Michael Popok highlights how Wiles was blindsided by the pick of Matt Gaetz for AG, only finding out through social media. There are serious concerns about the vetting process for other nominees, including troubling allegations against Pete Hegseth. Popok questions Wiles' ability to last in the role, drawing comparisons to previous short-lived staffers while exploring the implications of failed nominations.

Biden can’t get the last of his 40+ federal judges confirmed without the votes of 2 republicans: Senator Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, because Joe Manchin of W Virginia says so. Popok explains the fragile democratic coalition in the lame duck senate, and how the public has to act now to pressure senators to get all 40+ in and not hand them to Trump.To boost YOUR NAD+ levels up to 50%, Go to https://qualialife.com/TRUTH for up to 50% off and use code TRUTH at checkout for an additional 15% off.Join the LegalAF Patreon: https://Patreon.com/legalAFRemember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcastThe Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassanMea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenThe Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-showBurn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boatsMajority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdownLights On with Jessica Denson: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/lights-on-with-jessica-densonOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

The discussion centers on Trump's controversial plan to create a 'warrior board' aimed at purging top military officials in favor of loyal junior officers. Historical comparisons raise alarms about potential risks to national security. The impact on morale and global perceptions, particularly regarding adversaries like Putin, is examined. Michael Popok also emphasizes the importance of Congressional pushback, urging House Democrats to leverage budget negotiations to thwart the executive order and protect military integrity.

Special Counsel Jack Smith is on the brink of completing a crucial report detailing criminal findings against Trump. The discussion revolves around the urgency of releasing this report before January 20th, highlighting its potential impact on democracy. Key content includes reasons for prosecution and insights on co-conspirators. Challenges from MAGA factions seeking to block publication are anticipated, raising concerns about timing and legal hurdles. Public pressure is urged to ensure transparency and accountability in this pivotal moment.

Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back with the midweek edition of the Legal AF podcast. On tap? 1. Trump already giving a middle finger to the Rule of Law and the American People with his Attorney General pick of Matt Gaetz; 2. Whether Trump will be sentenced for the 34 felony convictions in NY state court; 3. whether Trump will rush to court to try to stop AG Merrick Garland from releasing Special Counsel Jack Smith's 2 final reports about Trump's crimes; 4. Trump's threat to use his recess appointment power to slam through his unqualified cabinet picks (see Matt Gaetz), 5. Trump's threat to immediately fire all the generals, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.Subscribe to the new Legal AF channel: https//youtube.com/@LegalAFMTN Subscribe to Meidas+ at https://meidasplus.comThanks to our sponsors:Arma: Head to https://tryarmra.com/legalaf or enter promo code: LEGALAF to receive 15% off your first order!Select Quote: Get you FREE Quote today at https://SelectQuote.com today!One Skin: Get started today at https://OneSkin.co and receive 15% Off using code: LEGALAFZbiotics: Head to https://zbiotics.com/LegalAF to get 15% off your first order when you use LEGALAF at checkout.Create: Get 30% off any subscription or one-time purchase of Create 90-count bags at https://TRYCREATE.COM/LEGALAFMint Mobile: Get a 3-month premium wireless plan for just $15 a month when you go to https://mintmobile.com/LEGALAFRemember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcastThe Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassanMea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenThe Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-showBurn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boatsMajority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdownLights On with Jessica Denson: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/lights-on-with-jessica-densonOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.
