Back to EpisodesEverything You Need to Know About Trump's Legal Hot Water (This Week)
Description
Not a judge or a jury. Not fake electors. Nope. The ‘24 election and the fate of democracy hinges on… say it with us… Vibes. The vibes this week:
Joe Biden signed a foreign aid bill into which also included a forced sale of TikTok.
Donald Trump faced a litany of legal battles including the 2016 Election Interference (hush money) trial which is underway, a hearing on whether he is in contempt of the court for violating his gag order, and he (and his cronies - Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani) were named un-indicted conspirators in TWO State's false elector's plots (MI and AZ). In addition to ALL OF THAT, SCOTUS heard his "immunity" claim.
Speaking of SCOTUS, they also heard a case to decide whether women could receive (and doctors could give) an abortion in case of EMERGENCY in state's with bans.
Finally, we discuss two prominent, legacy GOP politicians who took the same information about Donald Trump and his attempts to steal the 2020 election, and even arrived at the same conclusions, but made two very different choices for how to handle the upcoming 2024 presidential election. That's Bill Barr and Liz Cheney.
Listen for all that, a round of IT'S GIVING, a stop in our GROUP CHAT, and a GOOD VIBE to say goodbye on.
New episodes of Vibes Only drop every week. If you like the show, the single biggest thing you can do is leave a rating and a review… it's free, it takes ten seconds, and it's how we get in front of more people who need a politics podcast that isn't going to make them want to move to the woods.
Vibes Only is a weekly political podcast hosted by Brian Derrick (Political Strategist and Founder of @oath.vote) and Glennis Meagher (Political and New Media Strategist and Co-founder of @generatorcollective), two post-Obama political operatives turned creators breaking down the stories of each week in politics, elections, and culture. We aim to be your break from the doom-scrolling and consultant-speak. Just the vibes (and the receipts) with new episodes every Thursday morning.
