Would be 5 Stars without Popok’s Performance on 7/4/24

“Popok’s analysis of the presidential immunity opinion is unbelievably naive. Yes, with a normal Court, his predicted outcome is probable. But he completely ignores the facts on the ground with this Court despite everything we’ve seen over the past few years. It’s obvious that the Court will have every opportunity to manipulate their incredibly vague rule and analysis. That was the whole point of the evidentiary discussion in the opinion. And the majority has already telegraphed that admittedly criminal conduct does not change the analysis for core powers conduct (i.e. taking a bribe for a pardon).
As bad as that analysis was, Popok was even more naive, maybe willfully ignorant, with his discussion of Biden’s faculties and ability to win in November. “People are voting for an administration, not a single candidate.” What?! Could you be any more wrong? Presidential elections are a pure popularity contest for the vast majority of voters. Should it work differently? Sure, but it doesn’t, and every pollster and political scientist would tell you as much. Just a staggeringly ignorant take.
And to double down on the take, Popok says that Biden has earned the right to stay in the race even if he can’t win. And if the American people punish Biden and the Democrats for that, so be it. Again, WHAT?! It’s almost like Michael has forgotten the consequences of a Trump presidency despite analyzing the Trump Court and district judge appointees on a weekly basis.
It felt like Popok just went out of his way to take the opposite position of Karen so he could try to prove how much smarter he was than her. He also decided to walk all over her in the process, telling her to stop talking so he could finish his point, and then interrupting and stopping her from making her point literally 30 seconds later (and other points throughout the episode). I know Popok loves to hear himself talk and is probably used to bullying opponents, but he should focus on being more of a podcast host and less of a lawyer on this show.”

“I tend to watch the live version of this on Sunday morning from 🇦🇺These gentlemen are intelligent, witty & committed. Democracy is not a spectator sport & they’re very aware of this. They bust through toxic narrative & break it all down in simple language that has legal basis. They...”Read full review »

“If you want to listen to a great legal/political podcast ruined by a guy saying “Popok” a criminal number of times then this podcast is for you. I truly hope Ben can get his RPA (Repetitive Popok Affliction) under control because the commentary is otherwise fantastic.”
