time for popac live Christmas and Hanukkah Eve Edition I'm Michael popac you're on the mest touch Network in legal a took a week off but I'm back I'm tan I'm ready I'm rested and you're on popac live four big topics today we're going to talk about one of them here's my here's my statement here's my Proclamation we can debate it Joe Biden greatest lame duck president of all time and I mean that Mount Rushmore of lame duck presidents what he's accomplishing or what he's accomplished in the last 3 to four weeks alone will make your head spin it it some presidencies weren't this successful all in an effort to Trump proof the Biden Legacy and protect democracy and the Americans serve the American people I'm going to talk about that number two you've heard about the Matt Gates report but not the way I'm going to present it we're going to see what was actually in the report the major findings and even Maga magga have had to admit that it's more likely than not that Matt Gates committed sex crimes obstructed Justice and obstructed Congress committed bribery and used illicit drugs and that's just the beginning let's go to musk and China musk we we musk sorry I'm Punchy today leading into the holiday Elon Musk runs a imaginary organization there's no other way to put it it's called The Department of government efficiency except it's not a department it's not in the government and hasn't really been created yet but in any event he's got China interests and he's letting his China interest show and as a result China effectively told America how it should fund its government I'll cover that all when we get to it and then fourth one cuz I just like the combination of Greenland and Panama Greenland and Panama no Popo's not going into the travel business although I'd like to I'm going to talk about Donald Trump talking about the United States buying Greenland a protectorate of Denmark against the will of the people who live in greenand and to take control again of the Panama Canal something that I Believe Jimmy Carter gave back to Panama and the response it's Dove Tails nicely with the show I'm working on cooking that should be ready right after the new year with Anthony Davis here at the mest touch Network work entitled Global AF where we talk about the international response to Donald Trump's next Administration I'm glad you're here there's a few ways to help us I mean have I have I told you that independent journalism independent commentary and Analysis without outside investors is under attack I mean it is we have no outside investors you are our investors by investing your time and your energy that's all we got right it's just Sweat Equity at this point um but that keeps the lights on and and and in uh in return we give you our unbiased unvarnished unplugged unfiltered unhinged sometimes commentary and Analysis like no other because we're not owned by outside uh uh corporate media entities that are willing to sacrifice the First Amendment and freedom of the press on the altar of their corporate greed there's no other way to put it we don't have a we don't have the owner telling the publisher what the editorial position should be on a certain matter nobody tells us I know nobody wants to believe this and it makes for great reading or on other channels or something but but no nobody is telling me what to say and what not to say and if I say it it's because of the the gravitas of life I earned every piece of gray in my hair I'm going to talk about it right here okay enough about the channel enough about me let's get into it Biden the greatest lame duck president of all time discuss okay what am I talking about what just look at the things that Joe Biden has done in the last four weeks I'm breathless they're on fumes for a guy that took unjustified attacks for him being a sleepy Joe incompetent Joe mentally incapacitated physically incapacitated napping Joe look what his administration is accomplishing with him at the helm let's go over it let's start with um things that are I'll do it in the order of things in the news the use of the pardon and clemency power look at this is a great way to stick it to Donald Trump first of all week or so ago the most clemencies commutation of sentences ever in the history of America 1400 all in one Fell Swoop mainly non-violent crime to get these people out of prison their conviction stays on their record but they get to re-enter Society because Joe Biden showed Mercy in the exercise of his clemency Powers two weeks ago we had 37 37 or so pardons meaning the conviction comes off the books as does the sentence including for his son Hunter Biden the long National nightmare of the hunter Biden laptop Affair and junk pick is over thank you along with others who were also pardoned but that's he's not done I called for that a couple of weeks ago on a hot take on legal AF the YouTube channel for Joe Biden to use his powers of mercy and his pardon Powers which can't be attacked can't be checked can't be balanced to take people off of death row not let them out of jail I don't want that to be any misunderstanding I'm not looking to have them reenter Society but I do want to take away the death killing machine of the US government and from a dignity and morality standpoint and have them serve life imprisonment without possibility of parole we can debate another time the efficacy the morality of the death penalty being exercised by a democracy I can do that another time but for right now 37 out of 30 sorry 37 out of 40 people at Terry ho Indiana thank you for the pronunciation guide those on my legal AF Channel Terry ho Indiana is the home of the federal penitentiary where almost all of these death penalty people sit convicts sit 37 of them are not going anywhere but they're also not going to be dying because they've been given uh a commutation of their sentence conversion of their sentence clemency through the mercy of joob Biden stay in jail only there's three that aren't going anywhere and are still in line for the death penalty so as soon as Donald Trump comes in who has a lust for the death penalty these three will be put to death pretty quickly one is and when I tell you who the three are you'll understand that this is also a reflection of who we are as a people Joe Biden is and the Dignity of Joe Biden and the uh uh uh what's the word I'm looking for the um I'll leave it at dignity till I can think of another word from the uh thesaurus uh the three are you know Dylan rof who killed uh nine black parishioners in the mother Emanuel Church uh the the person the killer uh the mass murderer of more Jews on domestic soil than ever in our history at what we call the Tree of Life synagogue it was a combination of synagogues in Pittsburgh 11 Jews worshiping during the high holy days lost their life that guy's not going anywhere and the surviving brother of the two brothers who devised and implemented the Boston Marathon bombing he's not going anywhere and as I've said at the top of the hot take this particular segment Donald Trump has a lust for execution he just announced not on the campaign Trail like going into office that he's going to ask his Department of Justice likely headed by Pam Bondi his FBI director who could be headed by C Patel to try to find more ways to impose the federal death penalty not less for violent crime now we'll have to see what the United States Supreme Court says about that they've already ruled that the the the right-wing of the Supreme Court has already ruled on a number of occasions that the death penalty is not cruel and unusual punishment under the eth amendment and therefore can be used in America but it's always been tied to very heinous uh treacherous depraved acts that that can't be squared with our morals and our values and they've said that's okay if it's symmetrical if it's proportional to the crime Donald Trump wants to expand it to other quote unquote violent crime I'm not sure as depraved as a certain type of violent crime may be I'm not sure that's going to be enough for this United States Supreme Court to say that that's fair and proportional to the crime for it to be not uh cruel and unusual punishment that will be something we will follow on the United States Supreme Court as Donald Trump tries to expand it soon as he got back into office in 2016 16 he had 16 uh federal inmates put to death Donald Trump whereas Donald whereas Joe Biden showing his morals and values of what we voted for he created in 2021 a federal ban a moratorium at least on execution of prisoners and that's been going on until this moment now the three that I just described uh mother Emanuel Church uh Tree of Life synagogue and atin Marathon bomber will be joined by at least two more one the uh mass murderer Mass shooter in Buffalo in two or three years ago who took out minority in black people at a supermarket in Buffalo he's that's a Biden Administration prosecution under the death penalty uh and under civil rights violations and he's going to join these other uh two so they'll be at Le uh these are three there'll be four and then for another day we'll talk about whether Luigi mangion were somehow to get the death penalty he would join uh and that will be prosecuted by the incoming started by the Biden us attorney uh in the because the crime was committed during the Biden Administration or the the purported crime uh but the Luigi Mion thing that's going to continue beyond beyond the um uh the inauguration it'll be taken over by Jay Clayton who I know from the Securities and Exchange Commission used to be be in that office he will now head that office as the head prosecutor I'm sure he will continue and he will seek the death penalty will continue to follow it here on legal a of the minus touch Network we have a unique perspective not because I talked to her about the case but because my my podcast partner on Wednesday a dear friend of mine is Karen Freedman n nifo here on the mest touch Network in a legal AF and she is representing with her hus along with her husband Mark efo Luigi and Geon so we've got I'm still staying here right now though remember Joe Biden Mount Rushmore of lame duck presidents he also let's move to judges he he did two things when it relates to judges in the last week or two he got confirmed one more judge I think it was 245 245 judges 244 I'm I'm in the ballpark federal judges at every level State uh sorry uh appellate and trial level were appointed and now confirmed under Joe Biden and it's not just the sheer it's the quality of the type of Judges that now reshape the face literally of the Judiciary I think there's 60 black judges now federal judges lifetime appointments article three judges against 12 for Donald Trump 60% of uh Joe Biden's uh confirmed judges are women 24% were women for Donald Trump the prototypical confirmed judge for Donald Trump a white male in his 50s that for uh Joe Biden a uh Hispanic Asian or black let's say black female in her 50s shows you the difference and their backgrounds the prototypical judge for Donald Trump came from Corporate America working for a company in-house counil or for a Maga right-wing organization or worked for a what they call a white shoe Law Firm came from Harvard or Yale Joe Biden all accomplished people all people with great credentials but many of them came from Civil Right litigation being public defenders doing God's work depending people who can't afford who are Indigent and can't afford for themselves uh so these people are coming from the right places they've lived the life and that will help them dispense Justice in our system of justice now you might you might say well if Joe Biden's so pro- Federal Judiciary why didn't he and why did he uh veto just a day or so ago the uh judges act that would have added 65 new judges to alleviate docket congestion all around the country federal courts are are overwhelmed mainly because they have two roles we don't have a criminal federal court in this country and a civil federal court federal judges sit in their jurisdiction and cover both Federal and civil and federal always take priority generally take priority to the civil cases because there's this right of speedy trial under our constitution to process rights that puts civil cases way back I've been involved in civil cases in federal court where it took us four five 6 8 to 10 years to get the trial goes faster for criminal cases 6 months eight months one year maybe two years and so there's backlogged in in popul States like California New York and Illinois and Florida they need judges so be while Joe Biden was still in office there was a bipartison push to add 65 new judges and the compromise the horse trade in Congress was that it would be the next three judges starting with Joe Biden everybody would get like 22 judges or whatever the math is but even though the the Senate passed it you know the deliberative body the mature body passed it they sent it off in in August before the election they sent it off to the house and magah house said uh let's wait to see if it's Trump they wouldn't vote on it while Biden was still in office giving him 25 they didn't want to give him 25 you know Trump's up their ass not to do it and so they don't do it and Joe Biden said you know what was once bipartisan has now been made ruinously partisan these are my words have now been made very very uh partisan and I'm not going to vote for it now because you waited until after uh Donald Trump got in to give him an instant like all of the 65 additional additional Federal clerk uh judgeships and I'm not doing that so he vetoed it he just vetoed it he warned them that he was going to veto it veto it and he vetoed it now what does that mean how secure is it popak oh it's pretty airtight secure because in order to override that veto and do this again whether Trump's in or not or right now there has to be a 2third vote of the house and the senate in order to override a presidential veto two3 vote House and Senate is that happening no it would be 290 votes in the house they only have 215 Republicans and it would have to be uh six 6 uh 67 I think in the in the Senate I'll do my math later not happening dead no more additional uh judges for Donald Trump so that means that if they're going to try to give more judges to uh Donald Trump they're goingon to have to waste valuable time I mean what what they're trying to do here is not make it easy on Donald Trump and make him waste time and waste scarce resources scarce time resources scarce administrative Focus scarce legislative focus on things make him do everything everywhere all the same time he can that will tie him up it'll it'll sort of throw sand in the gears making them if you're going to get more judges you're going to have to do with the oldfashioned way try it all over again and legislation and waste time and everything that's being considered is one less thing that be that can be considered that particular day in the house and the Senate great move by lame duck Joe Biden we talked about death penalty we talked about Judges uh how about debt relief loan uh loan forgiveness sorry for another 55,000 people uh to the tune of $4 billion do mainly Frontline workers who now have had their student loans and debt relief now there's other reporting about other debt relief that the the programs are being Sundown by Joe Biden that's mainly because they can't they can't get them up and running judges have shot them down it's a waste of time to give people debt relief when it's going to be uh it's going to be shot down so that's sort of off the table and similarly legislation that Joe Biden has not been able to get passed and won't have time to get passed like more protection for the transgender community and other things he's pulling them back and pulling them out of committee on Capitol Hill because he doesn't want Maga in the 119th to take over that legislation and have a fast track to make ridiculous terrible unamerican changes to it so he's killing he's killing this these legislation and pulling it back and he's giving orders to do that remember Joe Biden spent the bulk of his career over 40 years on Capitol Hill he knows how to run legislation better than anybody including including Donald Trump who's not yet into power so we have that and then lastly we've got uh hundreds of billions of dollars that in the last three weeks alone up and I mean Beyond this hot take that Joe Biden and his team his administration and cabinet members are pushing out the door and getting agreements signed to fund money that Congress has already funded for for some of Joe Biden's signature policy initiatives so 10 more billion is being approved for infrastructure and being sent not just approved sent out the door 300 sorry 39 billion for Semiconductor and Chip manufacturing that Agreements are being rushed to be signed right now to get that $40 billion out the door along with the science act another $369 billion in clean energy subsidies are being signed as I speak to get that money out the door and7 billion over to Ukraine so when you add all that together you're looking at another $500 billion we're it's a going out of business sale and it's obvious Joe Biden is rightly emptying the tank of everything he can possibly do uh and he's having his cabinet members look at their rosters and making sure that everybody gets raises and everybody gets bonuses and everybody gets elevated in title so when inevitably they try to hollow out these departments it makes it infant in uh infantes itely no that's not the right word it makes it infinitely harder there's the word so I'm going to sorry it's that it's that holiday season uh we're going to talk more uh uh in the next segment about uh Matt Gates what did they determin with this long awaited house Ethics Committee report did Maga Republicans try to help him uh with any kind of counter report didn't he file a lawsuit poak to try to uh stop the publication of the report how do you know all about it I'm going to cover that uh and then I want to talk about Elon Musk uh taking orders from China giving orders to Donald Trump and effectively by transi of property China telling us how and when to fund our government to avoid a shutdown yes I will put that all together and then finally Greenland and Panama will they be acquired militarily or by an offered to purchase by that Real Estate

what was decided and what was not decided by this long awaited house Ethics Committee report now how did that come about it's the only I think it's the only bipartisan truly bipartisan split five and five Republican and Democrat chaired by a republican because they're in control of the house but it's the only true bipartisan committee that there is and I think at the very end when there were they took so much grief about releasing not releasing the report I think they finally decided and they got at least one Republican I don't know who it is yet one Republican had to come over to break the deadlock of 55 we know the chairperson Michael guest uh from Mississippi was a against it so some Republican I'm sure he'll be in the C he or she'll be in the crosshairs of Donald Trump he'll be calling for a primary challenge any moment now but somebody moved the needle and opened it and opened it up now I think they had to because you know can you imagine the president of they do a a 20-month investigation of Matt Gates whether he committed sex crimes used elicit drugs and and bribery and they decided not to release it because he dropped out he only dropped out to avoid the release and if they don't release it what does it say about the committee and its bipartisanship and ethics isn't it in other words isn't it unethical for the Ethics Committee not to release their report I'm sure that was bouncing around in the transom of their mind and the irony of it was not lost on anybody so they got the job done they got the Practical effect they effectively got Matt gates to resign from running or be fired for the Attorney General position and they sort of forced them out by resignation you know they flashed it around like we've got a report and you know Matt Gates knows what's in a report cuz Matt Gates did the bad things and I'm sure Michael guest the Republican chairperson let Matt Gates no that report's terrible for you and so they accomplished all that now the last guas really the last day when they were meeting before the holidays they released the report here's what it found at least 20 times Matt Gates Used thenm Mo and PayPal to have sex including with underaged girls including what would be referred to in Florida as statutory rape since the girl was 17 while he was 35 that he used elicit drugs that he used his power his Public Power improperly in other words he it was an abuse of public trust trying to use his power to benefit one of one of these girls one of these women in order to expedite her passport apparently big tough guy big big uh big guy with power trying to get the passport expedited I can do that for 50 bucks uh he also obstructed the proceedings the Congressional invest instigation obstruction of Congress obstruction of justice because he refused to cooperate with them he said there was evidence counter evidence that would prove his innocence which he never provided and delayed them on that the only thing they didn't clear him of the only I'm sorry the only thing they were able to sort of clear him on is they didn't find substantial evidence to prove that he trafficked girls across state lines or country lines for for sex in other words sex trafficking that's it I mean that's not covering himself in any Glory off of that off of that there could still be in a perfect world that we don't live in there could still be a prosecution of Matt gates for obstruction of justice lying to Congress and also uh statutory rape but the statutory rape and those other things um are generally state law violations guys from Florida that's a that's a Ron to santis magal land that's not going to lead to a prosecution I don't think and then on the federal side C Bond's not going to do it and Donald Trump's going to give the guy especially after the release of the report he's going to give him a pardon so the federal federal stuff's dead DOA uh so there could be time now some of it doesn't have a statute of limitation so that really is the reason that Donald Trump has to give this guy a pardon in in Gates's mind because there's no statute of limitation so if Donald Trump and the sorry if Maga loses in the uh in in the next election for General for the presidency and a Democrat comes in Matt Gates is exposed again so look for a pardon based on the the revelation of this report here's another reason Matt gate shouldn't be the top lawyer in the land as the uh as the head of the Department of Justice as attorney general he doesn't know how to prepare and file a lawsuit because there was a lot of publicity that he filed a lawsuit to try to stop the publication of the report that I already have a copy of it's 41 Pages uh and that uh but he didn't ask for an injunction he didn't asked the judge to stop the release and he filed it after the publication I'm not quite sure where this was going but uh there's a rumor that uh Matt Gates wants to run for the senate seat in Florida abdicated or abandoned by Marco rupo he could then if he tries to get back in then the Senate would have to take up whether he's fit and whether he should be impeached and removed based on the findings of the of that report in the house but then you got the house versus the Senate the Senate will be controlled the Republicans they'll probably seat the guy they'll probably seat him could we could sue over it could try to challenge it we'll continue to follow Matt Gates it's important though that this report came out branding him for what he is a statutory rapist somebody who had sex with girls somebody who paid to have sex with girls who abused his position of power used elicit drugs and obstructed Congress if I was uh running against Matt Gates I might want to bring some of those things up people of the State of Florida I think he was popular in his little corner that he lived in I'm not sure he's popular for Statewide office but that's my own opinion having lived down in Florida for a number of years let me move on under popac live rubric uh now that we talked about Matt Gates let's talk about uh Elon Musk Elon Musk what am I talking about all right Elon Musk was given because he basically bought a president by paying $250 million of his own money to help Donald Trump get elected and in in return he got to head a organization that's got a name that's not in the government nor Department never will be and hasn't even been properly formed yet I mean it could be an outside Blue Ribbon panel I mean that's sort of the best you can do should be awarding you know ribbons at a at a at a 4f fair for the best pig or apple pie but you know apparently it's just going to be somebody that's going to make mean social media posts about Department and entities that got on the wrong side of him in his business world that he wants to get rid of now why is we why am I talking about China and the restart of the government or the funding bill to stop the shutdown right on right on Queue on Christmas that just happened there was a huge bipartisan bill that contained in it bipartisan that contained in it many many restrictions on us investment in Chinese technology um Chinese AI its ability to create cryptocurrency for instance military-grade weapon systems run by Ai and computers right uh by uh Quantum math and there's different ways and like why help our enemy let them get their own money so this bill would have stopped the ability to make foreign investment by us entities in China in these key technologically advanced areas that undermine our national security right we already have the office of foreign asset control ofac ofac which keeps an eye on who owns what foreign entities that are American so we know how there could be attempts at foreign power corruption in America this is about blocking investment you know cap the flow of capital from America into China sounds like a good thing now who would be against that that we can think of on this popac live how about Elon Musk who's the only US Car manager manufacturer that has a plant in China and not just one plant he's got a plant for Tesla he's got a plant for Batteries he's got a plant for AI he's got a plant for self-driving cars and he only operates all of those things at the Le at the at the will and the pleasure and the whim of the Chinese government there's no capitalism in China that isn't owned or controlled by the Chinese government the Chinese Communist party you want to do business in China you you're doing business with the Chinese Communist party and its president the guy that Donald Trump's decided should go to his inauguration why not why not and so Elon Musk has billions of dollars invested with the Chinese and his licenses and his factories could disappear tomorrow with a communist takeover of all of his things he's so beholden to the Chinese and so in their back pocket that when China objected to Elon Musk allowing the Taiwanese who all they want to do in Taiwan is breathe free and that we support as part of our national policy our our foreign policy when China said don't give them the starlink satellites Don uh Elon Musk turn them off they went dark for Taiwan right he's conducting his own foreign policy no China is conducting our foreign policy through Elon Musk and so China obviously told Elon Musk and Elon Musk figured it out for himself that all of that stuff in that bipartisan Bill to avoid the government shutdown that addressed blocking investment in China in these key areas that needed to be stripped away that needed to be that needed to be removed and all the other stuff that that Elon Musk said about it's wasteful there's trillions of dollars there's Bridges to Nowhere there's there's Maple maple syrup studies that need to be removed this is an example of pork barrel at the highest levels in wash that's not that was all bull sorry Merry Christmas that was all bull nothing to do with that that was all that was all smokes screen what he wanted out was the Chinese the limits on Chinese investment because he didn't want to piss off the Chinese and he didn't want to lose his licenses and lose his factories in China worth billions of dollars so he told Donald Trump under any circumstance don't let that bill that bipartisan bill pass because of it undermining already Marco Rubio who's the incoming Secretary of State for Donald Trump that advanced one of the bills to limit Chinese investment sorry American Investment in Chinese technological and military grade Computing AI chip manufacturing and the like Donald Trump has his own businesses in China Trump World Trump organization his cryptocurrency and the rest all millions and billions of dollars invested in China he's not pissing off China despite the fact that it undermines our national security that was a good part of the bill that was the part of the bill that I said that was the part of the bill I did a hot take on and I called for the Democrats to lay down the law unfortunately the Republicans gathered enough votes and then they got this thing passed and the government is open until March now it'll be up to who nobody is going to raise the issues this was the last probably chance we had until the midterms to get investment in China Limited in these key strategic and uh and War military areas until the midterms it's the last chance Maga Congress isn't going to take it up magga Senate's not going to take it up it's done that was it that's the reason that it happened so as we get ready less than 30 days to the inauguration I want to talk about some other things that Donald Trump has said out loud in order to position himself for his foreign policy mainly he wants us the American taxpayer to buy Greenland and he wants to take back the Panama Canal I'll cover all of those International Affairs at the intersection of law politics and insanity uh when I come back uh on popac live in the meantime we've got another word from our

the midest touch Network and let me follow let me catch you up now on the last segment Greenland and Panama are in the news for all the wrong reasons but for related reasons all through Donald Trump first of all let's take um let's take kenland Donald Trump it was whispered in his ear in his first term by Ronald louder from the louder family that owns Estee louder their mother was Estee louder he's a multi- multi-billionaire the family still runs and controls EST louder he was an ambassador he's an art collector if you're ever in New York you want to go to the new Gallery off of uh Fifth Avenue and 86th Street it's amazing it's owned by the louder family it's a tax write off you should go see it all right enough plugging New York tourism the uh in addition to that we have louder whisper referring to Donald Trump back in 2016 2017 that Greenland would be strategically useful because it has a lot a lot much like Canada a lot of uh minerals and natural resources that are part of our strategic reserve for our national security you know Canada has like 37 different of those types of of elements minerals and resources that we use as part of our National Defense and weaponry and defense systems and all like and count and Greenland's the same and with the melting ice caps you got a lot of more opportunity up in Greenland than you did before for maritime and exploration real estate development and the things now what is the status of Greenland because who thinks about Greenland I'm not against Greenland and I and I'm sure I'm hoping we're number one or number two in Greenland for any kind of Law and uh law and news law and politics uh analysis we may be uh hit me up uh in the in the DMS and in the uh chat if you're from Greenland and you're a legal AF Watcher that'd be great Greenland which is really cold for those that don't remember your history the rumor is the old wives tale is that they named uh Iceland Iceland because it was green and they wanted to keep foreign Invaders away from it like oh Iceland sounds cold we don't want to go there and they named Greenland Greenland because it was icy and they wanted the foreign Invaders to go there um so Greenland's let's just put it this way you think Upper Canada is called this is upper upper Upper Canada uh and uh but Donald Trump oh back to what it's what what is its place on the globe it is I believe a protectorate of Denmark it could have declared its own independence in 2009 but didn't so it still gets has a lot of Economic and financial and Military connectivity back to Denmark and the Danes uh and uh they're a protectorate now could some other country become its protectorate I mean in order to own it would have to buy it like a territory you'd have to make a deal I think with Denmark and with the people of Greenland put it to a referendum you have to make a pitch this is what Donald Trump's going to be focused on over the next four years uh trying to buy Greenland like we bought Alaska or Louisiana I don't think it's happening first of all I don't think the people of Greenland want to give up their sovereignty or their protectorate status with d with Denmark and just go to the United States under Donald Trump one of the people in the they have a they have a legislative body one one of the leaders of the legislative body in Greenland said something along the line of I don't know their accent so I'll just make up one uh it's a pretty strange way to approach an ally I don't know why all my accents sound like muddled muddled English I just watched too many shows on BBC obviously so uh that's not happening I don't care maybe a strategic alliance with Greenland maybe but you're not buying Greenland and we're certainly not invading Greenland so let me just announce to the people in Greenland we're not invading you we're you know we're we're friendly like I feel like we're like you know a UFO that just landed in Greenland we're friendly don't worry take us to your leader Panama why is he pissing off Panama Donald Trump likes rocking every boat all the same time I mean Germany's about to fall because of Donald Trump apparently Canada is in turmoil and that government's about to fall Italy's relatively stable uh but but Germany's not France isn't Canada's not wow now you why Anthony Davis and I want to sit around for an hour and talk about global impact of Donald Trump and vice versa on wait for it Global AF or do you like the American and the Brit let me between between an American and a Brit something like that give us some names in the chat here for what we should call the show that we're considering Anthony Davis and me we're going to launch it in January we should have a naming contest I might ask Midas to help me with a naming contest do it here start it here put it in the chat put it right there leave it in comments so we have Panama and U president MTI Muti MTI uh sorry malano malano of Panama has basically responded already to Donald Trump much much the way that President Shin bam in Mexico did which is go pound sand um and here's our middle finger you are never going to take back the Panama Canal from the America from the Panamanian people it is Sovereign they fought for it uh they helped dig it and and uh it was given back to Panama many many many years ago I think under the Carter Administration and Donald Trump's like well there's Fair there's tariffs and fees around Panama cadal we should just take it back not happening but it just shows you why people like John Bolton who was a national security adviser for Donald Trump it was a un Ambassador very well considered among normal respect respectful and and and uh and America loving Republicans they still exist uh by why John Bolton just said recently we are more likely now than ever before to enter into a world conflict because of the muddled thinking of an unclear and undisciplined thought process of Donald Trump that he is so his this this veering from crisis to crisis forcing us to Lurch from constitutional crisis to constitutional crisis attacking our allies holding up our enemies as as somebody to be admired uh this unclear thought this this muddled executive function that we're watching for Donald Trump is leaving us uh vulnerable and compromised and is emboldening our enemies to take advantage of an erratic incoming president so John Bolton and I agree with him thinks that we are more likely than not to suffer an attack testing our vulnerabilities because of the chaotic nature people I love the Republicans who tell me you know what keeps us safe no tell me they don't know what Donald Trump's going to do next he's so erratic they don't want to F with him this is what I this what I heard during the campaign this is what I hear now I call it the legal weapon the Le sorry the Lethal Weapon school of thought it's like you know the character that uh Mel Gibson played you know in the very beginning you know he's so crazy you know nobody knew what he was going to do and Murdoch his partner had to like calm him down but like the the criminals were like oh my God is this guy going to shoot us oh that doesn't work in foreign policy on Glo on a global stage all erratic Behavior undisciplined mind cloudy thinking unformed policy half-baked ideas lack of attention to focus lack lack of attention to detail all that does is invite attacks because our enemies are stronger more disciplined more powerful more patient than Donald Trump is and so they see it as an opportunity to attack not the other way around that's the vulnerability that John Bolton's talking about so when Donald Trump people were like oh he's adorable he's talking about Greenland and Pama again no he's pissing me off because he's making us unstable and insecure if I were a foreign enemy I'd be looking at Donald Trump like hm he doesn't seem too threatening he doesn't seem too organized and he's not running things with an iron fist he seems like a guy that can't keep two coherent thoughts straight in his head yeah so that's where we're at what do we need to do as fair-minded people the moderate and the Democrats Progressive people we need to continue to focus our attention on how to pin back and pin down Donald Trump in the court system with federal judges including the 245 that Joe Biden just put in now that he's denied uh Donald Trump a gift of another 30 or 40 or 50 on the way in we have to oppose the attempt to expand the federal Judiciary under uh Donald Trump's regime we have to uh run into court every crazy executive order and there will be hundreds of them in the first month this is why we form the legal AF YouTube channel go over to Legal AF MTN for Midas Touch Network help us grow that channel to 500,000 in the first quarter of 2025 you know there's going to be so many stories that we're going to have to cover the intersection of Law and politics with filings filed by attorney generals by public interest groups by the ACLU and others supported by the mightest touch Network in legal AF we will have to form a legal AF channel number two like ESPN 2 seriously that's why we did it that's why Ben M Salis and me founded legal AF that's why we brought Karen Freeman nifo in to to help us with the channel and that's why we formed a new legal AF Channel all for that reason and help us here
