<p>The Meidas Brothers begin the show with a debate about Jordy's "Spite Beard" and Ben's "Brother Jiu Jitsu" before heading into this week's top stories. First, the brothers discuss the Biden administration's decision to return billions of dollars from Trump's border wall funding back to the Pentagon. Then, they have a debate over the merits of calling Trump "The Former Guy" and if this framing hurts more than it helps. After, the brothers analyze the moment Mitt Romney got booed off the stage at the Utah Republican State Convention and the performative faux patriotism of the GQP –&nbsp;along with when Michael Flynn was exposed for not knowing the Pledge of Allegiance. Next, the brothers discuss the differences in the COVID responses and results between blue and red states – and why the media needs to stop heaping praise on Ron DeathSantis.&nbsp;</p> <p>After, <strong>Michael Cohen</strong>, former Trump fixer and attorney and <a href="https://www.audioup.com/shows/meaculpa" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">host of the Mea Culpa Podcast</a>, joins the program to give us the latest on Rudy Giuliani's legal troubles and what they mean for everyone in Rudy's orbit. Cohen discusses the "daddy issues" of Trump and Rudy's kids and reveals once and for all which is the dumbest! He then tells us the latest about the investigations into Donald Trump.&nbsp;</p> <p>Later, the brothers analyze Ted Cruz's blatant admission of bribing corporate America and his "Chavezzy" response to corporations who seek to support democracy, the GQP's obsession with the word "woke", and the obsequiousness of the pathetic Republicans who still refuse to criticize Trump.</p> <p><em><strong>Today's episode is made possible by </strong></em><a href="https://www.stamps.com/"><em><strong>our friends at Stamps.com!</strong></em></a><em><strong> Hit the microphone on the top right of the site and use our promo code MEIDAS and get a free 4-week trial PLUS free postage and a digital scale – with no long-term commitments or contracts.&nbsp;</strong></em></p> <p><em><strong>Order the </strong></em><a href="http://store.meidastouch.com/"><em><strong>new Meidas Merch here</strong></em></a><em><strong>!

<p>On today's episode, we start the show by discussing the all new sexy Meidas Merch (which you can buy <a href="http://store.meidastouch.com/">here</a>) before recapping President Biden's incredible speech to the nation, and the embarrassing and predictable GQP response. Next, we speak with Congressman Ro Khanna about what it means to be a progressive capitalist and get his thoughts on the first 100 days of President Biden's administration. Then, we finish the show with a recap of the doody that Rudy colludy has found himself in, and the growing number of GQP failsons with daddy issues galore. Ben also breaks down the 3 requirements of being in the GQP cult.</p> <p><em><strong>Special thanks to our sponsor Grove Collective for making this episode possible.

<p>On Episode 6 of Legal AF, MeidasTouch’s weekly law and politics podcast, hosts MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, analyze key decisions this “Supreme Court Season” and take apart SCOTUS’ 6-3 Republican majority and its unrelenting attack on judicial precedent (<em>Stare Decisis</em>) to legislate from the bench and change the law as we know it in the areas of abortion, the Second Amendment (<em>NY State Rifle Association v. Corle</em>tt), and criminal sentencing for minors (<em>Jones v. Mississippi</em>). Speaking of SCOTUS, Ben and Michael also take a hard look at Justice “I am Not the Notorious ACB” Amy Coney Barrett and examine why she has refused to recuse (disqualify) herself from a series of recent cases involving her family and PACs that paid a million bucks to confirm her nomination (the <em>Americans for Prosperity</em> case), and how SCOTUS is on the verge of allowing unlimited and anonymous corporate dark money to pour into US elections. The Analytical Friends (is that what AF stands for?) then move into the <em>#LegalWTF</em> segment as they look at various state legislation that seeks to overturn fundamental US Constitutional rights. First up, Oklahoma gives immunity to drivers who maim or kill protestors with their cars, while criminalizing peaceful protests in the streets, and then for good measure virtually bans all abortions despite a woman’s US Constitutionally-protected right to choose. Not to be outdone, Arizona is allowing a made up QAnon conspiracy theorists called “Cyber Ninjas” to gain access to their voters’ sacred presidential election ballots to perform some sort of bizarre and illegitimate “audit” not to overturn the election, but to allow the Arizona Republicans to continue their charade at taxpayers' expense that the election was “stolen.” And of course, Florida Man is heard from, this time it's the governor, who is about to sign a law that likely violates the US Constitution’s Commerce Clause by preventing social media companies from banning political candidates from their platforms or face fines of up to $100k a day. Easter egg alert: Ben considers permanently changing the name of the podcast to LegalWTF, and not only does fan-favorite “financial dominatrixes” make an appearance, but so does cos-play!</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/support</a>

The GQP fantasyland gets weirder and more pathetic (hambugers?!), Tim Ryan runs for U.S. Senate, the Arizona GQP conducts a fake election audit, Roger Stone threatens to murder PatriotTakes and more. But that's not all! Hill Harper, one of the stars of ABC's The Good Doctor, best-selling author, activist, and the founder of The Black Wall Street joins us to discuss the state of politics, financial literacy, tech, and whether or not he's better at basketball than President Barack Obama.  Thank you for making the MeidasTouch Podcast the top new news & politics podcast in the world in 2021!

On Episode 5 of Legal AF, MeidasTouch’s weekly law and politics podcast, Legal AF, hosts MT founder and civil rights lawyer Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, analyze the jury’s verdict to convict Chauvin on all 3 counts for the murder of George Floyd, and with special guest criminal defense lawyer Alexandra Kazarian, discuss Minnesota’s sentencing guidelines and predict the length of Chauvin’s sentence. Next up, the “Analysis Friends” take a deep dive into Liberty University’s suit against Jerry Falwell, Jr. to claw back the $10 million it paid him because he failed to disclose that he, his wife, and a Miami Beach pool attendant (you can’t make this stuff up), were having a threesome.  Returning to the world of criminals, the Legal AF dynamic duo (and with apologies to the Sopranos) tackle the recent inadvertent disclosure by the Justice Department that it had reached its first plea deal with an “Oathkeeper” who attacked the Capitol on January 6th, who in return for turning in his friends and cohorts, won an all-expense paid trip to 3 years in jail and the witness protection program. To round out the episode, Ben and Michael learn to “count to 5” and take a hard look at SCOTUS’s 2010 Citizens United decision allowing for unlimited corporate and PAC money to flood our election system under the First Amendment, and whether there are 5 votes on the current Court willing to allow donations to be made in secret in the new Koch Brothers-backed suit, Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Rodriguez.

<p>On Episode 4 of our new weekly law and politics podcast, Legal AF, hosts MT founder and civil rights lawyer Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and commentator, Michael Popok, tackle the NRA’s bizarre efforts to secretly use the Bankruptcy Code to escape liability in New York and re-incorporate in Texas and discuss whether their business model and fundraising smacks of "financial domination." Next up, the conservative members of SCOTUS and especially Justice Gorsuch are leading efforts to thwart Biden’s agenda by stripping administrative agencies such as the EPA and the Department of Transportation from rule-making ability under the little-known “nondelegation” doctrine. Then, the Analytical Friends analyze the civil rights violation that occurred when Lt. Caron Narario, a Black Army officer, was peppered sprayed and almost worse during a routine traffic stop in Virginia. Ben and Michael then take a look at the recent “January 6 Insurrection” federal lawsuit brought by the NAACP and at least 10 members of Congress who feared for their life against Trump, Giuliani, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, for claims under the KKK Act of 1867 for conspiracy to violate the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th Amendment. Then, in a new “speed round” segment, Meiselas and Popok take listener’s questions on topics ranging from data breach lawsuits and the proliferation of ransomware computer attacks, to possible class actions against Trump for his deadly mishandling of the COVID pandemic and his role in the attack on the Capitol.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/support</a>

<p>On Episode 3 of our new weekly law and politics podcast, Legal AF, hosts MT founder and civil rights lawyer Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and commentator, Michael Popok, interview two historic candidates, Lucy Lang, candidate to replace Cyrus Vance, and be the first woman to ever lead the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in its 220 year history, and Hydee Feldstein Soto, who is running to be the LA City Attorney, the chief municipal legal office, and its first woman to hold that office in its more than 150 year history.&nbsp;Then, Ben and Michael, applying their “Analytic Friends” superpowers, tackle the current US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) term and recent oral arguments and decisions, including giving our followers what they crave: more analysis of due process and personal jurisdiction(!) by taking a look at Ford losing its efforts to only be sued in its backyard and avoid being sued in the states where its cars injure people.&nbsp; Next up, Ben and Popok try to read the tea leaves of SCOTUS’s recent “hot bench” concerning the antitrust case against the NCAA and its refusal to pay athletes for their work, and whether SCOTUS will expand warrantless searches of homes under the 4th Amendment by creating a new “community caretaker” exception.&nbsp; Finally, they take on the ongoing “Water-Gaetz “ saga with Matt Gaetz being investigated for sex trafficking crimes, and the recent successful prosecution of former Trump HUD official (and Eric Trump wedding planner), Lynne Patton for violating the Hatch Act’s prohibition against “pernicious political activity” by civil servants, for video recording NYC public housing residents without telling them that the clips would be used at the RNC’s presidential convention to promote Trump.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/meidastouch/support</a>

Next, we discuss the effectiveness of the Georgia boycotts and the incredible role played by the Meidas Mighty in pushing corporations to change their tune on voter suppression #RESULTS. Ben analyzes the meaning of "wokeness" and how the Right has weaponized the term into a slur. In the next segment, we welcome Rep. Grace Meng of New York's 6th congressional district to discuss to rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and the accomplishments of President Biden and the Democratic-controlled Congress.
