    Trump RUNS AWAY like a COWARD after Trial

    enJanuary 12, 2024

    Podcast Summary

    • Press conference after closing argument with Alina HabaPolitical motivations may influence allegations against Trump, as suggested by Haba's press conference and her questioning of fraudulent written statements.

      During the New York attorney general civil fraud case, after an unsuccessful closing argument, Donald Trump held an unusual press conference at his building on 40 Wall Street with Alina Haba. Haba accused Trump of being a fraudster due to political motivations, as she couldn't beat him in the polls. In her closing argument before the court, Haba explained the alleged fraudulent statements as human errors and questioned why someone committing fraud would put it in writing or hire a reputable accounting firm like Mazars. These statements suggest that the allegations against Trump may not be as straightforward as they seem, and political motivations may play a role in the case.

    • Trump's Legal Team Arguments for ImmunityTrump's legal team has employed contradictory arguments, including the First Amendment, absolute presidential immunity, and disputes over constitutional oaths and disqualifications, to shield him from criminal investigations and civil lawsuits.

      Former President Donald Trump and his legal team have employed various arguments to shield him from criminal investigations and civil lawsuits. These arguments include the First Amendment protecting his speech, absolute presidential immunity during his time in office, and disputes over constitutional oaths and disqualifications. However, some of these arguments seem contradictory, such as claiming both immunity as an officer and not being an officer. Trump's approach echoes his past statements about his power and privilege, like his infamous "when you're a star" comment regarding sexual misconduct allegations. During a press conference, Trump himself questioned his lawyers' argument before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, demonstrating confusion and inconsistency in their defense strategy.

    • Presidential Immunity for Assassination Discussed, Lomi Introduced as Eco-Friendly AlternativePresidential immunity for assassination debated, Lomi presented as a practical and sustainable kitchen appliance that transforms food waste into nutrient-rich plant food

      During a discussion, it was suggested that a president could order the assassination of a political opponent with immunity from prosecution. Donald Trump did not explicitly condemn this idea but instead asserted the importance of presidential immunity for effectiveness in office. Meanwhile, a more practical and sustainable solution was introduced in the form of Lomi, a kitchen appliance that transforms food scraps into nutrient-rich plant food, reducing waste and the need for chemical fertilizers. This invention offers a simple and eco-friendly alternative to disposing of food waste, making it a game-changer in modern-day kitchens.

    • Lomi's Commitment to Sustainability and Customer ServiceLomi's app helps users track environmental impact, earn rewards, offers lifetime warranty, and upgrades every three years. Reducing food waste is also effective in decreasing carbon footprint.

      Lomi's new app not only helps users track their environmental impact and earn rewards, but the company also offers a lifetime warranty on their devices and upgrades every three years. Additionally, reducing food waste is an effective way to decrease personal carbon footprint. During a press conference, Alina Haba made controversial comments about Donald Trump and his family, referring to them as "the kids," and Trump himself claimed responsibility for Exxon leaving Manhattan. However, the main focus of this discussion is Lomi and its commitment to sustainability and customer service.

    • Trump Family's Controversial Statements on Campaign TrailDespite investigations and personal losses, the Trump family continues to make controversial statements, some of which are misleading or false, and have been compared to historical propaganda tactics.

      The Trump family, specifically Donald Trump and Don Junior, have been making controversial statements on the campaign trail. Donald Trump moved to Texas after being targeted by investigations and paid less in taxes compared to the speaker. During this time, Melania was mourning the loss of her mother, but Trump tried to use her grief as an excuse for not attending an event. Meanwhile, Don Junior claimed that people are worse off now than they were three years ago, even during the COVID-19 pandemic and high unemployment rates. These statements have been criticized for being misleading or outright false, with some comparing their tactics to historical propaganda and authoritarianism. The repetition of these lies, as noted by Joseph Goebbels, can eventually make people believe them, regardless of their truth.

    • Right-wing media distorts reality for profitRight-wing media profits from spreading misinformation and fear, attacking experts and data, while ignoring facts, threatening democracy and the rule of law.

      Right-wing media, such as Fox, profit from spreading misinformation and fear to their viewers, often attacking experts and data, while ignoring objective facts. This business model relies on creating a distorted reality that caters to their audience's feelings, rather than facts. Meanwhile, those who promote facts and evidence, like scientists and educators, are targeted and discredited. This approach is a threat to the democratic process and the rule of law. The momentum is shifting, however, with Democrats taking a more aggressive stance and President Biden pushing back against these tactics. It's important for us to recognize and reject this manipulative and harmful narrative, and instead focus on the facts and the truth.

    • Encouraging democratic participationSharing videos, subscribing, and staying informed can contribute to the growth of democratic movements and the prevailing of democracy.

      The success of a democratic movement relies on the active participation of its supporters. The speaker in the text is encouraging viewers to share democratic videos, subscribe to their network, and stay informed. They are optimistic about reaching their goal of 2,000,000 subscribers and believe that this growth will contribute to the prevailing of democracy. The speaker expresses gratitude for the incredible support they have received so far and emphasizes the importance of taking action to make a difference. Overall, the message is one of hope and empowerment, encouraging individuals to use their voices and actions to promote democracy.

    Trump SENTENCING Nears + Supreme Court BOMBSHELLS

    Trump SENTENCING Nears + Supreme Court BOMBSHELLS
    Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back for the weekend edition of the top-rated Legal AF podcast. On this episode, the anchors discuss and debate: (1) whether Judge Cannon will give another win to Trump in the Mar a Lago prosecution and throw out and “suppress” the incriminating testimony and evidence against him by his former attorney Evan Corcoran, and the impact on the prosecution’s case if she does; (2)  whether Judge Cannon in the Trump Mar a Lago criminal case will be persuaded TO GAG HIM by the dozens of threats against the FBI Trump and MAGA have made putting their lives in the line of fire; (3) why the Supreme Court did NOT BAIL OUT Steve Bannon and instead reaffirmed the validity of the Jan6 Committee and its subpoena powers and sent him to jail in early July to serve out his sentence for contempt of Congress; (4) why Judge Merchan in New York lifted a part of the Trump gag and whether that could impact his sentencing decisions on 7/11 for Trump’s 34 count felony conviction; (5) which is more impactful on our way of life, the Supreme Court’s throwing out the window one of the main charges against the leaders and most violent insurrectionists on Jan6, or the MAGA Justices’ wholesale destruction of the entire executive branch regulatory scheme, touching every aspect of our lives by throwing out a series of 40+ year precedent, with one stroke of the pen, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

    Breaking Democracy: Lies, Deception and Disinformation

    Breaking Democracy: Lies, Deception and Disinformation

    With conspiracy theories and disinformation on the rise in both media and politics, is our democracy at risk? We may lose trust in society, in the institutions that inform us, and, ultimately, in the democratic process. Our sense of responsibility for the everyday information we share may diminish. Deceitful politicians may escape scrutiny by claiming that truths are false, falsehoods are true, and in any case nothing can be proved. How should we respond to these challenges?
