Summary

Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok, hosts of the #1 law and politics podcast on YouTube, dive into a packed agenda tonight: Trump’s meltdown over his recent court losses and his attacks on the Federalist Society and Leonard Leo; his failing legal strategy surrounding tariffs and the courts’ response; his corrupt pardon scheme and blatant influence-peddling; and his bizarre claim of severe emotional distress in a court filing aimed at pressuring CBS into paying him tens of millions to settle a lawsuit. All this and more at the intersection of law and politics.

0:31.7	Let's talk about the federal court rulings invalidating Donald Trump's tariffs against the world, but then the federal court
0:40.3	of appeals stepping in and temporarily staying those orders. What's the implication? What are those
0:46.6	courts rule? What was Donald Trump's response? I'll give you a hint. He attacked his own
0:52.7	Trump appointed judges and he attacked the Federalist Society,
0:57.0	calling the Federalist Society Leonard Leo a sleazebag scum, and that that's why these Trump judges
1:04.0	are now ruling against Donald Trump. Let's talk about Trump's ongoing lawsuit against Paramount,
1:10.8	CBS, and 60 Minutes in Texas,
1:13.8	one of the most frivolous lawsuits in my opinion I've ever read,
1:16.7	where in the most recent court filing, Donald Trump says that he's suffering from severe,
1:22.2	mental, and emotional distress because of the 60 minutes feature of former vice president Kamala Harris back in

2:04.2	We'll talk about his corrupt pardons of a sheriff, of people who have paid to be at his fundraisers,
2:11.1	clear quid pro quos going on. It is absolutely embarrassing and humiliating for the United States.
2:17.2	And also, let's talk about the Supreme Court ruling that took place at Donald Trump's request,
