About this episode

Joe Plenzler interviews Daniel Maurer about the legal limits of military power and the implications of treating drug traffickers as enemy combatants.

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.
