You have a judicial have. I will let go when you show.

Michael Popak (3:34)

Me the judicial warrant. Where is it? We don't have. You don't have authority to arrest US Citizens, sir. You don't have the authority to arrest US Citizens. I'm not obstructing. I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant. By asking for a judicial warrant, you.

Unknown Speaker (4:13)

Don'T have the authority to arrest US Citizens.

Michael Popak (4:15)

Asking for a judicial warrant. Stay back.

Unknown Speaker (4:19)

No, ma' am.

Michael Popak (4:20)

For your own safety. For your own safety.

Unknown Speaker (4:21)

I'm safe.

Michael Popak (4:25)

I can't believe you're arresting. Where are you taking. Hello? You have no authority to arrest US Citizens. Where are you taking me? And with what authority?

Unknown Speaker (4:38)

And with what authority?

Michael Popak (4:43)

Number one is going to go with him. All right, hang on. Where's number one? Hold on, hold on, hold on. I want the warrant. Where's the warrant? Show me the warrant. They're not talking to him. It's obvious that they were instructed by Homeland Security and Kristi Noem by way of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller, who runs the whole immigration scheme of Donald Trump, to arrest, go out of their way to arrest people like Democrats to target them.

Thank you Miracle made for sponsoring this episode. I'll end with where I started. At the top of this hot take, Donald Trump is arresting his political rivals. Could it be worse? I don't know. There was a scenario that was raised during the immunity decision oral argument at the United States Supreme Court a couple of years ago about whether Donald Trump could take out his political rivals using Seal Team 6. And I don't mean for dinner. And they had this very polite academic discussion and debate about and I was crawling out of my skin, I was about to jump out of my skin. You're talking about whether it is okay. The fact that we can even form that question tells you on the Trump and magazine we are lost. We are lost as a society if we can ask that in polite company. And so Brad Lander had the right to be in that courtroom, in that court, in that hallway. But now look at what has been happening over the last 60 days. You've got a no in reverse order, Gavin Newsom threatened with arrest by Donald Trump and by Tom Holman. His borders are the governor of the great state of California, a sovereign state, threatened with arrest for exercising his First Amendment rights and for making sure that states rights were being protected. Alex Padilla in California, they crossed the red line, wherever that was. We crossed it a long time ago. In the first 200 days of the Trump administration. The senior senator, federal United States senator from California, Alex Padilla, basically hog tied, taken down. We can all, we can all debate the niceties of was he taken down? Did he, did they bring him down? I mean, I saw some people in a chat about One of my hot takes. Well, they didn't really, really push him to the ground. No, he just fell to the ground, and then they got on top of him. Senior senator. I think you're missing the point. The senator from California was effectively dragged out of her room and detained by federal officers because he had the temerity to try to interrupt or ask a question of Kristi Noem, who let it all happen, instead of saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's Senator Padilla. And all Donald Trump had to say about it was, well, he looked like an immigrant. You know, he's a tall, brown man. Or words to that effect. Senators under attack. Controllers and mayoral candidates. Democrat under attack. Let's keep going. United states representative, Congresswoman McIver of New Jersey. Great state of New Jersey, where I'm from. Along with Mayor Baraka. Political rivals of Donald Trump. What do they have in common? Indicted, arrested, indicted. Baraka got his indictment dismissed because it was bullshit from the beginning. And now he's suing Alina Haba directly for defamation and false arrest. He's a political rival. He's a leading candidate to run for office in America, for the presidency in 2028. Donald Trump knows that. Has him arrested. Phony charges. The arrest is on the front page. The dismissal of the indictment is on page 38. That's what Donald Trump wants. McIver indicted. Why? What was her crime? Trying to observe peacefully as a member of Congress. Giving oversight to an immigration facility run by a private company. That's lying. Donald Trump's pockets with donations. She was arrested. No. Resisting arrest. Just observations. A Milwaukee, Wisconsin, trial court judge who got arrested and perp walked in a photograph that was released by the Trump administration in violation of the Department of Justice policies in order to have a chilling effect over all the judiciary, to stay in their box, stay in their lane. Don't challenge this administration. Certainly not in your court rulings. And each time a press release, a social media post by the Trump administration. They were bad. They did bad things, these people. They resisted arrest. They're criminals. Nobody will be spared. Nobody but Donald Trump, the only person that's been spared in America for criminal liability. Two groups, criminal liability and exposure. Well, I guess three groups. Donald Trump, the Jan6 insurrectionist, and the couple of thousand people who have been pardoned by Donald Trump, including the Jan6 insurrectionist. They got away, right? Crime doesn't pay. It did for that group of people. And now add to it Brad Lander. Yeah, but. But I'm going to tell you, he should wear that proudly as a tattoo. He should literally get a tattoo on his arm or whatever, henna, a Hannah paint job that says with with pride in defense of democracy. I was arrested by the Trump administration. I'd get one if I had to. That's what I love about Gavin Newsom. His response was, bring it. Bring it. You want to arrest me, the governor of this California? Please, it's a gift. Bring it. And this against the backdrop of not only no King's Day, but somebody who went hunting to assassinate elected officials and their families and was successful. And all the Republicans respond on that on cue. All they have to do to respond to that is, well, public, basically. Democrats had it coming. Mike Lee. Yep. Nightmare on Wall Street. Oh, let me take that down. That seems, that seems cruel, you know, but only because Amy Klobuchar, the Minnesota senator, challenged him and said, it's no joke. It's one of my best friends. I had dinner with her the night she was killed, that elected official. But instantly, Republicans try to politicize it. Oh, the Democrats, it looked like the killer was a Democrat. Killer was obviously a crazed gunman who is who. Who can operate in the seething cauldron of hatred environment generated by Donald Trump. But I didn't politicize it. My first angle was not the Republicans did it, but you be the judge. I'm going to continue to follow it all right here on Midas Touch. Come on over to Legal AF, the YouTube channel.
