    Military Legal Expert: Trump Just Crossed a Major Line...

    Meidas Defense host Joe Plenzler sits down with retired Army JAG officer, law professor, and combat veteran Daniel Maurer to break down the legal limits of military power — from Operation Southern Spear and deadly maritime strikes to the removal of senior military lawyers and the growing use of troops on U.S. soil. Maurer argues the administration lacks legal authority to treat drug traffickers like enemy combatants and warns that sidelining military lawyers can make it harder to push back against unlawful policies. He also explains why Americans should be wary of becoming accustomed to troops operating in civilian spaces.

    Navy Commander goes Nuclear on Trump's Election Scheme

    On March 31, President Trump signed Executive Order 14399. It does not ban voting by mail but it builds a gate. States hand the Postal Service a list of approved mail voters 60 days before the election, and USPS delivers ballots only to the names on that list. Federal law already requires ballots go out to deployed troops 45 days before a federal election. That protection has been on the books since 1986. And nobody's voter list is finished at 60 days. So picture the sailor who requests a ballot on day 50. Legally entitled to it. Deployed to the Middle East. This Executive Order could silence their vote; a vote that deserves to be heard. Retired U.S. Navy Commander Bobby Jones breaks it down.

    Lawyer Blows Whistle on Trump Military Strikes

    On today’s Meidas Defense Podcast, Joe Plenzler is joined by trial attorney Mitch Jackson to discuss military orders, due process, government overreach, and the role Americans play in protecting democracy. Jackson raises serious legal questions about recent military strikes on suspected drug boats and also discusses masked ICE operations, jury duty, political pressure on law firms, and why the courts still matter. They also break down why civic participation — especially voting and serving on juries — remains one of the strongest tools Americans have to demand accountability.

    Commander Sounds Alarm on Dire Military Conditions

    Six months ago, 1,300 Navy dependents left Bahrain with what they could carry. Last week the Navy told them they can't come back for the foreseeable future; pick a new home base stateside. The Navy planned for twelve days. It's been six months. Vice Adm. Renshaw told families the service has been making it up as it goes, and that hard decisions got delayed because leadership didn't want to close the door on going back. So nobody decided. The calendar did. Ordered departure can't run past 180 days, and that wall hit this week.  What will the families do?  What CAN they do?  Bobby Jones discusses.

    Navy Commander Speaks Out on Trump Attack on War Hero

    Pearl Harbor. A 22-year-old mess attendant runs to a battle station that's already been destroyed. So he carries his dying captain off the bridge, mans a .50 cal the Navy never let him train on because he was Black, and fires until the ammo is gone. His name was Doris Miller. First Black American awarded the Navy Cross. Killed in action at 24. In 2020 the Navy named a carrier after him. This week, CNN reports they're working to take it off — and the sitting President's name is reportedly on the table. His family found out from the news. Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones breaks down what Doris Miller actually overcame, why the Medal of Honor was denied and how carriers really get named.
