where he told them how terrible Detroit was, contemplated the meaning of the word grocery, and appeared to pass gas multiple times. I'm being serious here. I wish I weren't. Speaking of wind energy, Donald Trump also ranted about windmills and ramped up his xenophobic rhetoric even more. And as Trump continues to lie about the hurricane recovery effort, President Biden has had enough. The president did not hold back when asked about his thoughts. Inflation continues to cool as economists agree that the economy is strong

and resilient. We'll give you the full report later. Plus, we're going to bring on Legal AF's Michael Popock for a major update in Trump's federal election interference case. Judge Chutkin just denied Donald Trump's objection to prevent the 300-plus pages of new evidence from being released to the public. My name is Brett Mycelis, and this is the Midas Touch Podcast. I am here with my brother, Jordy. Ben is on paternity leave and should be back in action soon. And Jordy, what's the latest? Oh man, I'm excited for today's show, Brett. I know we have a lot to get through. So you mentioned it at the top.

It just sounds like just a bunch of mad libs at this point when we do these intros. But fortunately or unfortunately, everything that Brett said happened in just, I don't know, the last 24 hours, 12 hours today. So, Brett, I guess why don't we just get into all the madness? Yeah, and this happened within the past few hours. Donald Trump was speaking at the Detroit Economic Club. And this was like, it seems like every day he gets slower and slower and more incoherent and more rambling. But today was even more than usual. And before I even play these clips, I want you all to realize that once again, he's speaking in front of the economic

clubs. So you'd think there'd be some sort of economic message going on here, but there really wasn't much of that. But Donald Trump did find the opportunity to mock Detroit in front of the people who were there from Detroit. Let's play this. I don't think anything that we're talking about today is high on our list. The whole country is going to be like, you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president. You're going to have a mess on your hands. She just.

Yeah, I think it's an interesting strategy. And, you know, you remember he did that like right before he went to Milwaukee for this convention when he said how terrible Milwaukee was in that closed door meeting with the Republicans. This is how he feels about our cities, our American cities. By the way, Detroit is currently experiencing a resurgence, and he has the nerve to say that in front of these people from Detroit. I'm not sure if that is the best strategy for winning votes, but let's see what else Donald Trump had to say there. This is where he speaks about the word grocery. It's a word. It's a word. I have more complaints on grocery about the word grocery. It's a word. It's a word. I have more complaints on grocery. The word grocery, it's sort of a simple word, but it sort of means like everything you eat. The stomach is speaking. It always does.

And I have more complaints about that bacon and things going up double, triple, quadruple. The stomach is speaking. It always does. I don't even know where to begin. But on that note, Donald Trump said that the biggest threat to our democracy is stupid people. You see, that's the real threat to democracy, stupid people. That's the threat. Our biggest threat to democracy is stupid people. And my name is Donald Trump, and I know that personally. I mean, I actually kind of agree with him, but not for the same reasons. Donald Trump also ramped up his fear mongering about immigrants in a particularly vicious and just gross and abhorrent way. You know, trigger warning to people out there, because this is really just despicable language that Trump uses. But let's play this. We allowed them to come in and raid

and rape our country. That's what they did. Oh, he used the word rape. That's right. I used the word raped our country. Said the adjudicated sexual abuser, you know, tell that to E. Jean Carroll, Donald Trump. This is just so completely off the wall, offensive, desperate. It's really just like he truly is the worst among us, just at every single step of the way. And then he has the nerve to say that he's going to keep women safe. Let's play this. And it wouldn't resonate at all with the other side. You have to have the right messenger. Somebody said, oh, we love Trump policy, but we don't like Trump. I think they do. They said that women don't like me. I think women love me because they want to be safe.

And with me, they're safe. With other people, they're not safe. It's true. And you know what, Brett? Just crickets out there too from corporate media. If President Biden did one of these things, went on stage in Detroit and then insulted Detroit, I mean, it's disqualifying in itself. But could you imagine the reaction from corporate media if Biden goes on stage and he starts insulting Detroit in Detroit? They'd be asking if he had some sort of cognitive mishap, Brett. They'd be talking about President Biden as if he was unfit to lead. You know why? Because those things that we just witnessed Donald Trump do on that stage, that qualifies someone as being unfit to lead this country, and yet crickets from corporate media time and time again. Yeah, that's why I loved

when Vice President Kamala Harris at her, at the debate said to people, and she said this during the 60 minutes interview the other day as well. She was like, go to his rallies. Listen to what he has to say. Please be my guest. Because when you actually go and you hear this stuff unfiltered, you see how deranged it is. And you don't get that sane washing that happens when they play these clips on cable news and

on broadcast news networks, which are even worse with this sort of stuff. They really normalize the guy, but we should not be treating this guy in any way like he is normal. Here is Donald Trump apparently farting during this event. We cranked up the volume during that part, so it gets a little loud, just if your headphones, but this actually, this happened. This is a catastrophe for the American dream and a dire crisis. I mean,

I mean, he farted. It wasn't the only time also he tried to cover it up by breathing in deeply while it happened. And that wasn't even the only time, like we, we found at least two or three, at least other instances of this,

but I'll just play you one more because I don't think you need to hear this all podcast episode. From commerce to labor to FEMA. From commerce to labor to FEMA. He is truly such a disgusting individual. I'm not even going to call him a human. He is just so gross. And you know what this reminds me of, right? It reminds me of the story that we actually broke here at the Midas Touch Network when

Donald Trump was apparently disrupting the court with all of his flatulence. And a lot of folks looked at us and like, oh, you guys are making that up. No, we had sources in the courtroom. And sure enough, on display for everybody to see here is him doing the same thing. He can't control. He's not a healthy individual. I think that really needs to be examined because he's also not allowing people to seize medical

records. Yeah, that was our original reporting during the criminal case in New York. And we had heard that from multiple sources. And we thought it was an important data point to put out there that Donald Trump was kind of profusely farting in the courtroom. And George Conway confirmed this through his sources as well. And, you know, we've had plenty of people come and say, oh, you guys made that up. No, honestly, we had multiple, multiple, multiple sources. Conway also had his sources and all confirmed that this was happening. And so when you see it happening during this economic form event,

I don't think it's much of a surprise, you know, at the end of the day, especially you just hear, you know, I think it goes with his entire, like kind of his, he's falling apart.

The guy, you know, he can't speak. He's completely incoherent and he just speaks in these circles and you have no idea what the hell he is even speaking about at times. Like he went on this rant about voter ID. And I still honestly, I don't even know where he was going with this. And I'll play it and then I'll talk about it after.

Aren't they approving voter ID? Democrats don't want voter ID. You know why? Because they want to cheat. But they don't want to. I say, oh, they don't. When I first thought I thought I was seeing things, I thought I was like I didn't hear that when I first started this. Let's say the Democrats will not approve voter I.D. And it's only gotten worse.

Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, just passed a bill. He signed a bill that you're not even allowed to ask anybody whether or not they have voter ID. Not only... Brett, can I ask you a question? Why is Donald Trump... We'll get to what he just said in one second. Why is he even speaking there, Brett? What is the topic? It's the Detroit Economic Club. Do you hear any economic principles or dialogue in this speech? I mean, why isn't anybody talking about that when he goes to deliver these, I don't know, remarks in front of groups that are trying to hear what his economic policy is? And all of a sudden, he's going, Gavin, new scum. And it's like, what are we all even doing here? It's a lot of laziness, honestly. You'll have these reporters.

They'll take the press release that the campaign sends out, which will say, Donald Trump will do his America First economic plans for the American people. And they'll pre-write the stories, and they'll put them out based off the press release. And then he inevitably, every time, delivers this. And you look at the articles they write, and you at these events and you go, hello. And you wonder how, people always ask me, how is this race so close? If anyone's seen these, how could this, you see what he says every day. And it's because you have Fox, which is just a pure propaganda network. Some of the most vile propaganda every single day, injecting that into the veins of people, just lies. If you watch Fox, you're actually going to be less informed than if you don't watch Fox at all. And then you have a whole other group of people who are getting

their news and information from broadcast networks and cable networks that sanitize and they will cover this speech, but they will say, Donald Trump gave a rousing economic speech where he showed his America first agenda in front of a group of topic. And you're like, uh, no, actually that's not what happened. I wish you would just kind of show us how it, what it actually was. Like, I'll read you just like the first bit of that because it's so deranged and I have it typed out, but here's the transcript of the beginning of what Donald Trump said there. I love when you read the transcripts. They don't wanna. I say, oh, they don't wanna.

When I first, I thought I was seeing things. I thought I was like, I didn't hear that when I first start this. They say the Democrats will not approve voter ID. Yeah, if you're as confused as I am, wait till you hear this next clip of Donald Trump speaking about President Biden and circles. It's a very big plant. Many countries, they do that. And then all of a sudden you hear that they're leaving Milwaukee or they're leaving wherever they may be located. It's very sad to see it. And it's so simple. I mean, you know, this isn't like Elon with his rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon where they wanted to land, or he gets the engines back. That was the first I realized. I said, who the hell did that? I saw engines about

three, four years ago. These things were coming, cylinders, no wings, no nothing. And they're coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle. Boom. Reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have, right? He'd have eight circles and he couldn't fill them up. But then I heard he beat us with the popular vote. I don't know, I don't know. Couldn't fill up the eight circles. I always loved those circles.

They were so beautiful. They were so beautiful to look at. In fact, the person that did them, that was the best thing about his, the level of that circle was great. But they couldn't get people, so they used to have the press stand in those circles because they couldn't get the people. Then I heard we lost.

Oh, we lost. No, we're never going to let that happen again. But we've been abused by other countries. We've been abused by our own politicians, really more than other countries. I can't. It's amazing that that's the guy who, when Vice President Kamala Harris gives a very thoughtful, very detailed speech on the economy or policy proposal, him and his followers, Donald Trump and his followers are always like, oh, what is that word salad? I can't understand that word. Your whole life is word salad, dude. No one knows what the heck you're talking about. You're still talking about the 2020 election and the social distancing that Joe Biden was doing back then.

You're whining that it's just, it's weird. And then you have the press, right? Like Donald Trump delivers great economic speech. Once again, that's not anything that I've heard. And this is the guy, Jordy, who has stirred up so much hatred in our country, who has birthed so many lies and who has so poisoned our country with these lies. And some of the lies can be, you know, harmless at times, I guess, but there comes to a point where when you're doing these lies, eventually you hit a point where you are confronting an issue that is life or death for people. And that happened during Donald Trump's presidency with COVID, right? And what did he do? He kept trying to lie his way out of it. He tried to create this alternate reality of, oh, it's not going to come to our shores. Oh, it's 15 cases going down to zero. It's

going to go away like a miracle. We're going to pack the churches by July. I mean, you could go on and on and on and on and on the dozens, if not hundreds of times, Trump tried to lie about COVID and guess what? Never went away. Um, and was a massive problem. And, uh, you know, Donald Trump did nothing to combat it. And this is the same guy now who is employing the same kind of lies and techniques, but doing so in order to cause a danger and cause people to lose their lives in the wake of these horrific hurricanes that we are seeing right now. Uh, first it was Hurricane Helene, then Hurricane Milton. And we are seeing Donald Trump just day in and day out spread the most horrific lies, lying about the FEMA response, which has been excellent. Like everyone on the ground from the GOP governors to the first responders are all

saying how impressed they are by the federal government's effort in the wake of these storms. And Trump just continues to pump in this disinformation, pump in these lies, and then all of his followers follow suit with these lies. And it's just quite dangerous. And so President Biden has been giving these reports each and every day, updating the American people with the facts, trying to set the record straight, because Biden's the first president, I think think ever that has had to face an adversarial opponent who refuses to actually try to assist the next administration. You didn't see George Bush try to constantly take down Barack Obama, right? You didn't see Obama try to take down Trump. You don't see presidents try to take down other presidents. It's not a thing that happens. You don't see them trying to lie to

the American people, calling Vladimir Putin, trying to do these backend deals. This has never happened before. And I feel like it's not talked about enough that every step of the way during the Biden presidency, he's had to deal with this lunatic trying to destroy our country, trying to tear it apart from within. And so Biden now, for all intents and purposes, he's a lame duck president. He's not running for reelection. He is able to say whatever the heck he wants. And I love seeing unfiltered Biden out there just let loose and make his feelings be heard because I think he speaks for so many Americans when he's out there. And so the press, all they want to do is ask about Trump and the lies he's spreading and

what's his response to them. And so one of the things I love today that President Biden did when they asked him about this is he said this. Mr. President, have you spoken before President Trump at all? Are you kidding me? Mr. President Trump, former President Trump, get a life, man. Help these people. Perfect. Perfect. Get a life, man. Such a Joe Biden answer. And I love that. And frankly, we need more of that. I'm so happy. And these reporters just insist on asking him about Donald Trump over and over and

over and over again. Like in this clip, they first ask, like, how are you going to hold these liars accountable? You say you're going to hold the liars accountable, right? And then they ask him again, you know, are you going to speak with Donald Trump? Why would he be, why would he speak with Donald Trump? Have you not seen this man over the past decade and that he's not somebody who you are going to get any good info from and speaking with? And he's not someone who's going to say, oh, President Biden called me. I'm going to stop lying now. Like, why should he have to deal with this crap? And so here was this moment where, as President Biden was walking out of this press conference, the press asked these questions and you'll see President Biden's response. You said you were going to hold those accountable. I'll make a hold of them accountable. You better in the press hold them accountable

because you know the truth. Do you plan to speak with former President Trump? No. Why would I speak to President Trump? And you hold him accountable. Why would I speak to Donald Trump? You hold him accountable, press, and the people could hold them accountable. But the fact that they keep asking this over and over and over, and I swear, Jordy, in the past 24 to 48 hours, maybe even just the past 24 hours, I've heard them ask the question to President Biden at minimum three times, but probably more. Have you considered calling Donald Trump? Did you speak with Donald Trump? And Biden, I think, is as exasperated as I am with the question, as you'll see the way he answered this one. I mean, I really feel for him, B. I really feel because how many times does he Mr. President. That is one of my favorites. I mean, I really feel for him, B. I really feel because how many times does he have to get up there and say the same thing? And then, you know, working with the corporate media in the current landscape is a very defeating feeling at times.

And we get to see it play out in real time because why does he have to answer that question at 1,000 times? And to Biden's point exactly when he turns around, he goes, you're going to hold him accountable. Like you do your job. He's spreading lies. It's not up to me to go and write your papers for you and expose all of the lies that Donald Trump is doing. He's Biden's like, I'm going to focus on the actual relief efforts here. And I leave it to the free press to actually hold these people accountable. The Marjorie Taylor green saying they control the weather. I don't understand

why holding this Republican party in this MAGA party accountable, why the corporate media, their reflex is to always play both sides. It's like, they're scared that they're going to be labeled. Oh, look at this liberal media. Liberal media for what? For just telling facts? If facts are liberal, I'm the biggest lib there is. I mean, it's absolutely bonkers that we live in a society where we actually have to ignore what's going on. Not we, not the collective we here.

I'm saying the corporate media ignores what's actually going on in order to make it feel like that they're just, you know, they're just reporting on the news. This person said that this person said that, well, when Donald Trump and these macro Republicans are spreading lies that are actually getting people killed, corporate media, guess what? You're allowed to call that out. You're allowed to say that's dangerous. That's disingenuous. That's actually harmful to the American people. And you know what? If they call you a lib for that, you could just turn around and say, no, no, these are facts. And you know what?

What's so bad about being a lib? Anyway, Brett, if we're just going to report the facts. Well, Jordy, the Democrats and President Biden are saying that these storms are caused by changes in pressure and climate change. But Republicans are saying that these storms are caused by Jews and the federal government controlling the world. But that's where we're at. So the truth must be someplace in the middle of those two.

The fact that you actually have President Biden, the President of the United States, having to combat a sitting Congresswoman who is, for all intents and purposes, one of the most powerful people in the Republican Party. I know that's a scary comment. But that he has to make a comment about it during his briefings to get the information to the people, I think tells you everything you need to know. Quite frankly, these lies are un-American and there's simply no place for them. Not now, not ever. Former President Trump has led this onslaught of lies. Assertions have been made that property is being

confiscated. It's simply not true. They're saying people impacted by these storms will receive $750 in cash and no more. That is simply not true either. They're saying that money needed for these crises are being diverted to migrants. What the heck are they talking about? Stop it. It's outrageous. It's just not true. Now, the claims are getting even more bizarre. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman from Georgia, is now saying the federal government is literally controlling the weather. We're controlling the weather. It's beyond ridiculous. It's so stupid. It's got to stop. It truly is so stupid. I love that President Biden just calling it out there in plain language. It's so nice to see. You know what's not stupid is Judge

Chutkin's latest order that she gave, her decision. And we're going to bring in Michael Popak to dissect that. This is in Jack Smith's federal election interference case with Donald Trump. I'm excited to hear all about this new evidence, this new bombshell evidence that we are going to see. What are we going to find out? What do we have to know? Michael Popak of Midas Touch's Legal AF is going to tell us all about it. By the way, make sure that you are subscribed to the Legal AF channel on YouTube.

They're fantastic. Brett, where are we going from here? I think it's Michael Popock time. Yeah. Well, speaking of in the market, I'm in the market for some hot legal take, some legal updates and who better to bring in than Midas Touch Legal AF's host, co-founder Michael Popak. Hello, Michael Popak. How are you? I'm doing fantastic. I'm sorry I'm late, gentlemen.

I was making a volcano erupt for the Jewish holidays. Popak. I have that power, apparently. I love it. The beardless Popak has many powers. By the way, I did want to comment on that because he said that we weren't as astute noticing those things. Last episode when Brett and I were actually talking about the mustache, Popak, I got to say, I did want to comment on that because he said that we weren't as astute noticing those things. Last episode when Brett and I were actually talking about the mustache, Popak, I got to say, I already see it in the comments of your videos. People love clean-shaven Pope. Yeah.

Right. The mustache Pope, which lasted for a very short amount of time, that did not go over that well, neither at home nor with my audience. The baby is reacting very positively to clean shaven daddy. Love it. And that's all that matters. I mean, Kipopak, you brought this on yourself by saying that we weren't observant last time. So we had to start off with your appearance. But now let's get to the substance.

Let's talk about this Judge Chutkin's denial of Trump's objection. Donald Trump, I mean, Michael Popak has a paper printed out with the otter. Pope, what happened? What does it all mean? What kind of evidence are we going to be seeing? Is it going to be before the election? I'll let you break all that down. Perfect. I appreciate that, brothers.

Thank you for having me on. And I did, we put it up this morning on that Legal AF MTN YouTube channel that we're doing a collaboration with Midas Touch. I did last night like a preview of what was going to happen today. Almost got it exactly right, including the timing of when we're going to get our hot little hands on hundreds of additional pages of evidence and witness statements and witness summaries just proving that Donald Trump is a criminal before the election. If you love the 165 pages brief that Jack Smith filed last week, then you're going to really love the 300 pages back up the dump truck that Jack Smith is about to give to the American people. It's already been filed with the judge. Judge has it. Trump has it. Of course, the government has it. Who hasn't had it all this time is the American people because it's been sealed behind a wall while the judge with the parties try to figure out how to balance

the appropriate balancing factors that you have to do when a lot of information and evidence is being put into the public domain. Particularly the judge, in this case, Judge Chutkin, which is the only one that makes this ruling, there's like competing interest guys that are going on in every case, regardless of whether the defendant is named Donald Trump or not. One is the protection and the preservation of the right to the accused who's presumed innocent to get a fair and impartial trial with a jury in the future. So you have that one competing interest. Then you've got, in this case, the Department of Justice worried about Donald Trump and

his minions or his proxies attacking witnesses and witness intimidation and going after, and why? Because he's been gagged in every state he's ever been prosecuted, or court system he's ever been prosecuted in, and he blows through those and attacks everybody, including recently this particular judge. So you got that interest. How do we protect that with the, again,

the redaction or blacking out of this bombshell information? And then you've got the third competing interest, which is the interest of you, me, Jordy, Ben, and our entire 3 million plus audience. Because we're the public and the public has a seat at the table of our public justice system. As I like to say, we don't allow secret tribunals or star chambers to happen here. You get indicted in public. You get to clear your name in public. You have a trial in public.

There are certain things that are sealed. But generally, you should be able to both be indicted and clear your name in public as quickly as you'd like. We also have things called speedy trial, which totally got thrown away here because Trump didn't want a speedy trial. He wants a delay to get over. He's like the kid in the backyard game of tag that if you get to the tree first, you're safe. He's trying to outrun. That's all he's doing. That's what this campaign is about. It's not about the American people. It's about trying to outrun the prosecutors and get to the tree first so that he can fire the prosecutor and fire Judge Chutkin and end this prosecution. That's all we're watching. And so

the fight that's been going on is, and it's not really a fight because the fight implies there's two parties that are equally participating. And Trump is not equally participating at all. All he does is file ridiculous papers that are not what the judge told him to file because he doesn't care what the judge tells him. He's contemptuous of the judge. Basically, as I said in a recent hot take, has told her to go AF herself, legal AF herself. And to continue the sport metaphor, he likes to take the practice ball home and then expect that the game is going to stop. Well, that's not how that works. And so the judge told him, all right,

I got 300 plus pages with 30 footnotes, 30 pages of footnotes of evidence to support every line that's in the 165 pages that Jack Smith filed two weeks ago. I'm going to give you 10 days, which ended today, to go through that and make a counterproposal versus what the government has proposed when they filed it about what should be blacked out from the public domain. And I said he wasn't going to play that game, which is exactly what happened. Donald Trump was going to say, none of this should happen. We shouldn't be doing this exercise at all. It's all wrong. The process is wrong. Too much evidence into the public domain before we have an election. Have I mentioned election interference to you lately, Judge? It's exactly what he was going to file. I just miscalculated. I thought he would at least

have the intellectual honesty to put together a credible piece of paper that had actual case law. No, he filed a one, no, less than one page objection effectively. And listen to this, guys. The only citation in it, no case law. I'm a lawyer. I like to see case law. Judges do too. No. It's Ellie Honig who wrote some op-ed piece about attacking the prosecution because Ellie's trying to get ratings. And it's something from the New York Times.

First of all, I thought the New York Times was the failing New York Times that doesn't say anything that's right or that is proper journalism. No, until Donald Trump needs it, and then he cites to it. So while I was doing a hot take for this network to talk about the filing, and I told everybody in the chain when I said I'm doing this one, get ready. A, Chuck is going to rule fast. B, we may see the 300-page tractor trailer plus today, based on what Donald Trump has argued, which is basically nothing. And I was basically right. So he files the order. He files the piece of paper. And it won't take me long. It's one of those rare occasions I can actually read the entire thing. It'll take me 30 seconds. This is what Donald Trump told the judge. And two hours later later I'll tell you what the judge told him.

There should be no further disclosures at this time, this is Trump, of the so-called, quote-unquote, evidence, as if putting it in evidence makes it less persuasive to the American people, that the special counsel's office has unlawfully cherry-picked and mischaracterized. I hate when the special prosecutor cherry-picks about insurrection and violent overthrow of our government. Don't you hate that, guys? I do. During early, in connection with an improper presidential immunity filing, this is just lifted from the thing that failed two weeks ago that they filed. President Trump maintains his objections. That's it, guys. If you're waiting for more, remember those objections I filed last week that you rejected? I maintain those objections. Now, here's the two favorite parts, I think, for the judge, too, when you hear what you did in her order. He said, if the court decides to release additional information relating to the office's filing, the appendix or otherwise, President Trump

respectfully requests that the court, and I'm like, oh, here we go. They're going to bring an appeal, an emergency appeal on these grounds. They're going to bring it to DC or go right to the Supremes. Tell me what you're going to do, Trump. All right. We need more time, a reasonable period. We're not going to tell you how much, so that President Trump can evaluate litigation options relating to the decision. This is like the debate about Obamacare. We're going to evaluate potential issues and options and then tell you what we're going to do about it. And the judge said, yeah, I got one for you. And about an hour later, she issued her order. And the order grants exactly what the government, the special counsel said, should be the filing that goes to the American people.

Which I'm telling you, other than some redactions for names and a couple of other pieces to hide grand jury witnesses from, and we'll be able to figure it out pretty quickly. The rest is going to be like, we can't, this is going to be 300 pages of unedited. And I think more because I think there's exhibits attached to this thing. I think this is going to take up, you know, it's going to be a table piled high to the ceiling in the courtroom of electronic material that we're going to be able to see. And the American people are going to see before the election, which means that the dynamite that Donald Trump was playing with has exploded in his face. He was fighting so hard not to have two briefs that he missed the point about the appendix. The briefs are not the things that are going to kill him. He was successful to only have one

165-page brief against him by the Department of Justice before the election. But it was the appendix all along. And that is going to be revealed to the American people in about seven days because the judge said the following. The court will grant defendants Trump's request for a stay so that he can, quote, evaluate his litigation options. Sarcastic voice was my artist rendering, but I think that's how that was written. And hereby stays it for one week. Okay, this time bomb's now going to explode in his face in one week.

He is never, and I'll come back on this show and I'll say I was wrong. I like coming back on the show anyway. I'll come back on this show if he gets the DC Court of Appeals to grant an emergency stay and to order this judge to not use her discretion, which they're broadly given to trial judges, to decide what's going to be in the public domain or not be in the public domain. There's no way they're going to do that in a week's time. And there's no way even this United States Supreme Court is going to find five votes to tell Judge Chutkan that's not what we wanted. I'll leave it on this.

This problem that we're solving for was a problem of Chief Justice Roberts' creation. in the public domain before the election, then he shouldn't have chastised Judge Chutkin and told her, you've got to go back and with facts, and facts about facts, and facts around the facts, decide if the superseding indictment survives immunity. If he didn't want that, then he should have created a short track process. That's not what he did. He said, you did it wrong

last time. You've got to do it over again. And you've got to look at all the facts in the context. Okay, well how did he think she was going to do that? Unless Jack Smith gave her all the facts and the context with a giant tractor trailer worth of information. Trump knows he's going to lose this. This was a wasted opportunity for Trump. He could have done something different. I won't tell him what it was going to be. And the judge says, basically, stick it up your backside. I'll see you in 10 days when I release finally to the public docket the entirety of the case against you. Well, we love bad legal news for Trump here at the Midas Touch Network.

We like justice. It's not about Donald Trump, honestly. It's about justice. It's about what's right. It's about protecting our country. And this is probably, you know, I mean, all the cases are important, but you know, it's, it really goes to the heart of Donald Trump trying to destroy our democracy here. And Pope, just to clarify something that you said there, Donald Trump was saying, requesting the stay. Is he threatening to sue Judge Chutkan?

Like what, what, what is that threat that he's making at Judge Chutkin, his legal team? Well, that's a good point. I know Ben and I were talking about this earlier. This is, let me just clear it up for our audience. I went to law school a long time ago, but I've been practicing law for that long. This thing that they, this thing is, this term of art is not a term of art in our profession.

I never learned about the ELO, the Evaluate Litigation Option Strategy. profession. I never learned about the ELO, the evaluate litigation option strategy. That was a placeholder, what you would normally say, and this is where you're going, Brett, and why I agree with you. What you would traditionally say is that we would like an extra period of time so that we can take this issue up on appeal and seek a stay from your bosses at the DC Court of Appeals or above. I would sort of understand that. But then you drop a footnote, you'd have to give the grounds and the basis and cite a couple of cases. They filed this early. I would have filed it on time, not early. They filed it early. And they use that phrase, which comes off as a failed threat.

Like what are the litigation options? They've been notorious for suing judges. They sued Judge Angoron in the Manhattan, the New York Attorney General civil fraud case, sued him directly. They've sued basically under certain provisions of New York law, Article 78. They've sued Judge Mershon, the criminal court judge who's about to sentence him after the election for 34 counts of felony conviction in the Stormy Daniels matter. Don't put it past him. And I think that's why they left themselves some optionality. And the judge was like, bring it. I don't know what you're talking about with litigation options, but bring it.

And, you know, it's always this veiled threat against judges, against FBI doing their job, against our justice system to try to destabilize all of it. And to make him, you know, to make him the hero in his own story when he's really the heel. To use a World Wrestling Federation concept that he knows well from being good friends with the McMahon family, he wants to be the heel that everybody loves and adores and cheers for. But that's a threat. And that's why I think the judge put it

back in a bring it exclamation mark back at him. If he thinks he's intimidating Judge Chutkin, then he really has left planet Earth. It's completely bonkers. Just wild. But so great to hear your analysis, Mr. Michael Popak.

Let's face it, after a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. Hey, I got to be honest with myself, right? It feels like I have to choose between having a great night or a great next day. That is until I found pre-alcohol. ZBiotics

pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut it's this byproduct not dehydration that's the blame for your rough next day pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down just remember to make z-biotics your first drink of the night drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow every time i have pre-alcohol before drinks i notice the difference the next day for example after a fun night out with friends at like a local bar or wherever we go i could still get up the next morning and hit the gym. And I'll admit,

I was skeptical at first, but I tried it at a dinner party with some friends. The next morning, I felt great, ready to tackle the day, ready to do more videos here at the Midas Touch Network. I kept hearing about pre-alcohol and wondered what it was actually like. Now that I've tried it, I get the hype.

Love Michael Popak. Love Legal AF. Love the whole Legal AF team, obviously. It's funny, like the arc, like when new subscribers to the channel don't realize that Popak was really like a true as true of a day one as you could get with the channel too. So it's just so great to see him now with his own channel out there. That's almost at 200,000 subscribers. It's just the coolest thing. He's such a great guy.

It's, it's truly amazing. And you know what else is amazing is watching some of these Trump events and seeing very few people in them. And, you know, I, it's funny because people have been following like the polls so closely, especially people are so focused in on,

on politics and, you know, you'll get some polls that are great. And then you'll get some polls that aren't so good. Like there was this Quinnipiac poll yesterday that wasn't so good for Kamala Harris, but then there were like 10 other polls that were great for her. And then some polls that were okay.

And people always focus on like the one bad one and then they lose their mind for like- Is it a focus, Brett? My question to you, is it a focusing on the one bad one or is it also a focusing on the most recent one? Like this one dropped, but this one dropped two hours before.

And now this one dropped three hours later in the afternoon. So it's all- There's certainly a recent bias. The hair on fire. And you're kind of best to, you know, take a step back, go out,

but you know, we'll, we'll get into some of these polls in a little bit, but you know, I I'm feeling optimistic about things, you know, cautiously optimistic. I never,

I think everyone just scarred since 2016, quite frankly. But I think, yeah, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic because I see a difference in the way the campaigns are behaving. I see the messaging that Donald Trump is putting out. I see the messaging that Kamala Harris is putting out.

I see Kamala Harris holding events with people that are uplifting, that are joyful. She's speaking about issues. She's shaking hands. She's doing everything that you should be doing. She's going on all these interviews all the time. Donald Trump is rambling incoherently in front of these crowds who really aren't gettable voters at this point. And the undecided voters who do go to his event end up wanting to vote for Kamala Harris. This Washington Post report did a whole thing on that the other day. But I was watching the rally

yesterday and I could not believe it. I needed a lot of proof before I believed this. And then I saw Donald Trump on stage in Reading, Pennsylvania, and the entire back section was completely empty. And on this clip, you could hear him speaking. And for the audio listeners, you see the entire back section, like mostly empty, hundreds of seats. She wouldn't do that over again either. Maybe the worst of all, and something that a lot of people don't hear about because look at all the fake news. That's a lot of fake news. Like this was what was going on. And then, of course, like he has to go on his, I'll save you the clips, but he goes on and he goes, look, not an empty seat in the house, not an empty seat in the house. Like, dude, we see like all the empty seats in the house.

And the press confirmed because people were asking, so did they section off those seats? Like, say, for security reasons or anything or any no they didn't section them off they just they were empty they couldn't fill them up and uh it was just kind of sorry what are you saying jordy no no the cope that these MAGA supporters their reflex is just to make an excuse without any you know information or anything so their first thing was, he's not on stage. Well, you very clearly, you know, hear him on stage. Oh, they wrote that section off for security. No, that was debunked by many reporters there saying that it wasn't. So you're left with just, you have to face the truth, which is the guy's crowds are dwindling by the day because the message is just a message of hate,

despair, and honestly, hatred for the country. And that's not what people want. We're speaking about the people who are saying that the federal government is causing the hurricanes to help Kamala Harris win. So they are controlling the weather. That's Marjorie. Oh boy. Oh boy.

Oh boy. But, uh, you know, vice president Harris, I think they are being very meticulous about the way they do things. And I mean, Donald Trump has been campaigning now for like four years plus you could argue. I think that he's been campaigning for like 10 years straight. But Kamala Harris, I think, is, at this moment, I'm going to break this out. At this moment, I'm going to do these kinds of events. At this moment, I'm going to do a press tour. And you see it kind of beat by beat happening in a way of a more traditional campaign. And I think people are kind of forget what a traditional campaign looks like because they're so used to

this Trump chaos. And so you see Vice President Harris out there. You see this event with Obama and Governor Josh Shapiro. That's epic. You see the Tim Walls going all around. You see she's doing Univision tonight. She's going to all these places. She has a lot of this momentum. It's going to continue to create a lot of excitement out there. And so when you look at like these polls and you look at the averages of the polls, which one of the reasons why you don't actually look at like any kind of individual ones to get a sense of everything, you see that overall, like the polls have been pretty much stagnant. Like, you know, when, when they're putting the averages over the last, you know, while like she's up on the averages here, like by like about three, a little more than three points or so,

which obviously feels still too close for comfort for a lot of people. But there's a lot of data underlying that, which I think is even more important. And we've had on our show Simon Rosenberg and Tom Bonnier, who do incredible work. Tom Bonnier runs an organization called Target Smart, where they focus on the data of early voting and stuff that comes in. I know Ben probably next week is going to have Tom and Simon on and we'll discuss the latest data. But from everything we're hearing, the data has been incredible for Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats in terms of actual ballots that have been returned. And just so everybody knows, when people return

ballots, they can't tell you what your vote is, but they are able to figure out in the data what party affiliation you have, or you could do modeling in some states where you don't know that to kind of determine who's actually submitting the ballots, which gives you some sense of what direction the election is going. And really across the board right now in states where we see mail-in balloting being submitted, we see overwhelming advantages for the Democrats here. And so if we look in Pennsylvania, these are numbers as of yesterday, you see the vote by mail split, you see around 69.4% of the submitted votes have been for Democrats and just 22.1% Republicans, which is 8.5% being non-affiliated and unaffiliated, which I would

argue quite frankly, that most of those are probably going to Vice President Harris. And what this is doing right now in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and in other states is it's building a firewall for the Democrats, building a blue firewall. And so there's basically a number in the few hundreds of thousands where if the Democrats are able to, by election day, be ahead by a certain number of votes, that's going to be very hard, if not almost impossible for Republicans to make up. And so the fact that right now that Democrats are doing so well and are outpacing previous years, and we're seeing all this excitement, I think bodes very, very well that we're still seeing that excitement that we have seen in this post-Roe era. I mean, even the other day,

we're still seeing this everywhere, right? There was the guy who won the mayor race in the borough in Alaska. I'm drawing a blank on his name right now, but he won in a district trumpet one by like 15 points. He won in his town. And so we keep seeing this, like the data is right there. And we keep seeing evidence that there is overwhelming enthusiasm, especially by female voters for the Democratic Party in post row. And that seems to be persisting. And we could go through, we could keep going through this, that, you know, there've been polls for specific districts, like the Pennsylvania seven district, which is a like suburb Philly suburbs, um, has Kamala Harris up three and, uh, Bob Casey, the Democrat up six over McCormick. And, um, one of the things with this poll to note is that if this, if like, these are the final results basically in the suburbs in Pennsylvania, it's, it's game over. Like vice president Harris wins Pennsylvania. Like, like that's it. Then there's this Pennsylvania, the 10th congressional district, which is a more Republican district

where Scott Perry, the Republican, is the current incumbent. And he is down in his race by like seven points. Vice President Harris there is up five in this poll. So once again, you are seeing this enthusiasm breakthrough. And it's not just in Pennsylvania, you're seeing it in Michigan as well. When you tabulate the vote by mail data that's coming in in Michigan, which is a non-party registration state, but are able to do analysis based on modeling, they're finding that likely Democratic supporters are outnumbering likely Republicans by over 462,000 battle requests. I mean, that's pretty wild. And they're saying almost 40% of this advantage comes from voters with infrequent vote histories. And if I were to guess, those people with infrequent vote histories are people who were inspired to get in the race because of Vice

President Kamala Harris or inspired to get into the race post-Roe, things like that. We're seeing overwhelming enthusiasm for the Democrats in all these races. I mean, these are bonkers numbers. Jordy, were you going to say something? I was just going to say, Brett, so you're saying that Trump attacking vote by mail in 2020 is still having ramifications to this day? Because that's what all the data is clearly showing. Yeah, and telling Detroit that they suck,

as he did today, probably isn't going to help things in Michigan either. And this is the data that interests me, which is why I'm showing it to people. Like there's this poll that came out about Nikki Haley voters, 2024 Nikki Haley voters from blueprint polling. And it said 45% of them plan on voting for Trump. 36% of them plan on voting for vice president Kamala Harris. 23% are unsure that 36%, if 36% of voters or anywhere even close to that of voters who voted for Nikki Haley vote for Kamala Harris, once again, that's unrecovered. You can't recover.

This is why we were screaming from the rooftops, Brett, screaming from the mountains when Nikki Haley kept, when she even dropped out in the primaries, kept getting a huge chunk of the vote. And yet what did the corporate media just continue to report on? The person who was trying to primary Biden getting 4%. And it's like, well, Nikki Haley's taking 20% from Trump. Is nobody going to look at this? And she wasn't even in the race at that time. And so now when you're actually getting this data of Nikki Haley voters and who they're going to vote for between a Donald Trump and a VP Harris, I mean, it's eye-opening. And I love that you showed that breath. That was a really smart one. And I think one of the keys to this election is going to be

through the suburbs. And we see in this Reuters poll that Vice President Kamala Harris has reversed Trump's lead in the suburbs and among middle-class voters by a big margin. Reuters has Harris up 47 to 41% amongst suburban voters, nine points better than Biden was per these new polls from Reuters episodes that came out yesterday. So, I mean, you add all this together, you add up the kind of the difference in messaging in the campaigns. The fact that vice president Kamala Harris raised over a billion dollars, the fact that she has something like over a million volunteers on the ground when the Republicans have like zero ground game whatsoever, you start to paint this picture of a

campaign that's serious, that's putting in the work and a campaign that's just like doing a weird bizarro thing. And also like you have, you have vice president Harris introduced this policy this week, um, to expand Medicare, uh, to include home care for seniors. She described this as for the sandwich generation of people who are both taking care of their parents and taking care of their children. Like these are the kinds of ideas that I think are going to be a resonating people. Plus on top of that, you got some pretty good economic news and economic indicators that continue to improve with every single report. So I know it's every, you know, Jordy, every time I'm doing the podcast, everyone in the comments. So it's like, Brett, we need a net suite. No,

your number segment, we got to hear the updates. So I just got to give the people what they want. And so let's kick this off for some economic updates. This is the NetSuite by Oracle Know Your Numbers Minute. All right. Well, here is the latest news. And it's a great update, honestly, like a really, really great update. Economists are super happy about this. Inflation has cooled to its lowest level since February 2021. The data points to an economy seeing even cooler inflation as the job market remains sturdy and interest rates continue to ease. Inflation is now 2.4% year over year. That's down from 2.5% last month. And a large part of the current inflation that we're seeing

is mainly being driven by rising home costs and rent costs. That's kind of one of the most significant drivers right now. But meanwhile, we have wages continuing to outpace inflation. The average hourly wage gain in the past year was 4% compared to 2.4% inflation. So on the whole, Americans are earning more than prices are going up. So that's a good thing. And wages have grown faster than inflation for 17 months now. All really good indicators. And with Netsuite, you'll always be on top of these economic indicators because you get access to economic data and trends through their integrated analytics.

And I want to put it in perspective for a second. Back in 2018, so this is pre-pandemic under the Trump presidency, inflation was at 2.9%. Today, it is at 2.4%. And so I think that's important if we compare the two, what the inflation levels are. Also, this is probably a relevant statistic. The last six months of the Trump presidency, inflation had risen to 3.2%. In the past six months currently, inflation has been at 1.6%. So about half, just exactly half of what it was during the Trump presidency. So I think this all shows you, I mean, you've got to acknowledge that the economy that was handed to President Biden was in shambles. And there were a lot of mistakes made due to, I mean, that's putting a generous

lead with the handling of COVID and the economy and a lot of printing of money that had occurred before President Biden took office and supply chain issues and all this led to this problem. But like all leaders, you want a leader who addresses the problem and tries to fix the issues. And we're going to keep having leaders who come in who have different economic policies. I mean, no matter what happens this election, I'm sure Vice President Kamala Harris would have her own policies. So no matter the result, with NetSuite, your business will always be ahead of the curve when it comes to changes with the government's economic policies, because NetSuite allows you to quickly adapt to new policies through their agile system updates. And it's

good to be on top of all of that. But these are really good indicators, folks, like people are economists are super thrilled by these numbers. And the Fed, you know, they say that the Fed must be very happy, because they were able to lower interest rates. And we still see this resilient economy, and we see inflation coming down. And that's a very, very big deal. And I think this is like the last report that we're going to see on inflation before the election. So ending it in a positive direction is also, you know, it's going to mean a lot, you know, for Americans. There's always still work to do. That's the latest data right now. And, you know, I'll be back with more updates always. So stick around.
