The Intersection with Michael Popok Full Episode - 7/1/2025

Michael Popok on his new podcast The Intersection is back to brief the audience on breaking legal and political news. Join him as he tackles: 1) how the Trump budget bill can be used offensively to make Trump and MAGA pay for their policies; 2) how federal judges are crafting new injunctions to do an end run around the Supreme Court's decision, including a new injunction to stop the destruction of our public health services; 3) a federal judge who does not believe the Trump Administration when it tells her they will NOT DEPORT US BABIES to foreign countries and what she's going to do about it; 4) why a person suing because he was wrongfully deported and imprisoned without due process is now begging to be imprisoned in federal detention to protect him from the Trump Administration; 5) how Federal judges will address the due process and civil rights violation embodied by the Alligator Alcatraz, and so much more at The Intersection.

Trump has MORNING MELTDOWN over COMPLETE FAILURE

As a failed diversionary tactic from the fact that Trump can't locate Iran's uranium stockpile, he has now attacked the NYT and CNN and threatened them with what else -- a defamation lawsuit-- because they properly reported "preliminary" assessments in leaked top secret Trump intelligence community documents that said that Iran's nuclear program only set back a few months.

DOJ Whistleblower BLOWS THE ROOF OFF of Trump’s DOJ

The ultimate insider at the DOJ just dropped a whistleblower bomb on Trump's DOJ -- alleging in a new whistleblower charge that one of Trump's top DOJ lawyers, Emil Bove, instructed him to lie to federal judges, to tell them to "F' off" rather than comply with their orders, and he catalogues all the times the DOJ lied to Judge Boesberg and Xinis.

Trump THROWS Public MELTDOWN as PLAN UNRAVELS

Trump has not only mismanaged the "12 Day War" between Israel and Iran, undermining our national security, but now he has literally lost it (his mind included) in a curse filled rant and "f-bomb" run in front of the press on the way to the NATO summit. Popok explains how this erratic and dangerous behavior -- the opposite of a cool calm and collected Commander in Chief, emboldens our enemies like Putin and is the flip side of the TACO-coin.

Supreme Court Makes SHOCK RULING on MAJOR CASE

CHAOS ERUPTS as IRAN RETALIATES

Trump is getting pressured by the MAGA right including the Proud Boys who are livid with his decision to join the war against Iran, as Iran sends a not so subtle signal that they are ready to bargain, not bomb, their way out of the conflict. Popok looks at new reporting that Iran time of the attack was timed to get Trump's attention, and that they intentionally warned Quatar (and thus the US) before they bombed the US Air force base to minimize damage. But with the MAGA pressure on Trump and an immature and inexperienced Situation Room around him, will Trump take the hint and resolve the dispute, or fire back plunging us deeper into the conflict.

Trump Hit with MAJOR Legal TWIST Over Military Crackdown

Sure the 9th Circuit stayed part of the case that would put Governor Newsom back in power over California, but can't the federal trial judge continue to decide whether Trump violated the Posse Comitatus Act by using US Marines against Americans? That's a very good question, and Popok gets to the bottom of it on his latest hot take!

Trump FACES NUCLEAR BLUNDER as Key INTEL goes MISSING

Federal Judges Make MASSIVE RULING on Trump TROOPS IN LA

California's Governor has a huge decision to make today now that he's on the losing end of a 3-0 9th Circuit Panel decision that allows Trump to maintain control over the California National Guard and sets dangerous precedent for Trump taking over other Blue States. Does he ask all 29 judges of the 9th Circuit for a rehearing on the appeal, and/or file an emergency application to the US Supreme Court, or take his loss. Popok explains which of these unsavory options Governor Newsom must pursue to protect States Rights.

Trump DOUBLES DOWN on Congress Act ATTACK…Constitutional VIOLATION?!?

Trump's vicious assaults on women is not just in his private life as proven in the E Jean Carroll cases, it also animates his policies, as he now goes after Congress's landmark 1994 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and tries to defund all 50 state agencies set up to help female victims of sex and domestic violence assaults. But not if a coalition of 17 state offices devoted to protecting women have their say, with a new federal suit and injunction request filed today in Rhode Island. Popok takes a hard look at the suit, the constitutional violations by Trump, and his depraved policy initiatives under the guise of "anti-DEI" and "anti-immigration".

Trump should have canceled his lame fascist cosplay military parade in D.C. As Democratic officials and their families face threats in Minnesota, his brutal regime is using the military to crush First Amendment expression in California. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are rising up against his dictatorship in nationwide No Kings Day marches. Michael Popok breaks down how the people—the most vital force in our democracy—let freedom ring on Saturday, even as MAGA forces turned repressive, rolling out the National Guard to silence dissent.

Trump CAVES BIG TIME as IT ALL Goes BAD

Trump has chickened out again in another TACO moment, demonstrating that he will cave to public pressure and protests, this time abruptly changing deportation and arrest policy to exclude hotel, food and farm workers from immigration raids. Popok explains that Trump watches cable news and new that federal agents chasing hard working non criminal immigrants through hotel lobbies, kitchens and factories was a bad look politically and he caved.
