The Intersection with Michael Popok

Popok is joined by author, actor, narrator, and politically authentic leader Peter Coyote to brief our audience on the corrosive effect of wealth on American values and systems, and how the Democrats can meet the moment by leading a change in American values, as outlined in his new book "Smothered by Riches."

Popok is joined by Epstein survivor and leader Lisa Philips responding to Melania' being the first First Lady in 250 years to have to deny being involved with a child sex trafficker, and her shocking call on Congress to conduct PUBLIC hearings to allow each and every Epstein Survivor if she wishes to testify on the Congressional Record.  Is Melania finally putting her foot down and making a break from Trump to stand up for survivors, or is this a political staged event scripted by Trump to divert attention from his own involvement. Join Lisa and Popok for their observations.

The new economic numbers are worse for Trump than the old ones, all issued by his own government. Popok puts on his Wall Street hat to decipher the worst consumer confidence numbers in 46 years, the highest rise in prices since 2009, and a 21 percent gas "tax" on voters due to the Iran War, and all Trump's people can do is to tell people to eat more eggs!

Trump is so desperate to get out from under a court-ordered monitor that supervises to this day all business of the Trump Organization and to allow Trump and his sons to be able to take out NY loans and be heads of NY businesses, that he has filed an appeal with NY's highest court to get his fraud case tossed again, appealing a ruling from a lower court that was generally in his favor to begin with. Popok explains how Trump is playing with dynamite, as NYAG Letitia James is poised to win again against Trump.

What do you do when the Trump DOJ and its Antitrust Division is corrupted and ruled by lobbyist instead of law?  You turn to State Attorneys General like Colorado's AG and antitrust expert, Phil Weiser, who explains how states are protecting consumers from monopolies and price gauging like against Live Nation and its ticket and venue monopoly, by enforcing state and federal antitrust law to bypass the DOJ.  Popok joins AG Weiser for a special Legal AF podcast, which includes an update on Trump's efforts to coerce Colorado into releasing disgraced election's clerk Tina Peters from jail.

Popok reports on the breaking news (use template), that Senior Judge Friedman has found that the Pentagon has violated his orders and has ordered it to immediately unlock the Pentagon, and give the press free access to ensure a free press does its job to protect our democracy.

Popok reports on Federal Judge Sorokin joining judges in California, Oregon, and Michigan, to block the DOJ's fake use of the Civil Rights Act of 1960--passed to protect Black Americans and their voting -- to steal states' and our confidential voter data -- under the guise of "just checking" while trying to build a giant federal and illegal voting data base!

Popok reports on Pam Bondi trying to wiggle out from under the House Oversight Committee subpoena by claiming in bad faith that the subpoena only applies to her as "AG" and not personally, as House Democrats threaten to begin contempt proceedings against her, and Epstein Survivors demand she comply.  And all the while, all Bondi's resistance will do is lead to Todd Blanche her number #2 and now the Acting Attorney General being dragged in to testify as well.

In breaking news, Popok reports on the California Supreme Court entering an emergency order granting the Cali Attorney General's petition to stop Sheriff Bianco (a MAGA candidate for state governor) from willfully ignoring the Attorney General, his boss, and his direction to end the phony "criminal investigation" and seizing 650,000+ voter ballots from the 2025 special election on redistricting.

Popok reports on Judge Millet (Obama); Judge Garcia (Biden) and Judge Rao (Trump) being assigned to decide whether the Trump Ballroom project will continue to be blocked during the appeal process, as the National Trust files its new brief that declares once and for all that Trump making a giant hole next to the White House, and wanting a Ballroom to cover it, is NOT a national security risk!
