Legal AF Host 1
well, Donald
Michael Popach
Trump in his own words just committed election fraud because he calls mail in ballots mail in cheating. He calls mail in ballots crooked. Well, guess who just used a crooked cheating mail in ballot for an election this coming Tuesday in Florida, right? Donald Trump. Because these things are recorded like in the Palm beach county election office. And we know who's voted and we know when they voted and how they voted. And that's how Donald Trump voted. See, Donald Trump is busy trying to scare the crap out of people. So to undermine our election system, right, in order to scare people and scare Democrats away from voting by putting a boogeyman under everybody's bed. That there is voter fraud rampant in America when there is not. Let me get that straight here. It's an immutable fact that voter fraud is so, so small in this country that it's almost nonexistent. 0.0001%. Give an example. In Georgia, out of all the votes that were cast in 2020, the tens of millions of votes that were cast, eight ballots were found to be fraudulent. Eight. And Joe Biden didn't win Georgia by eight votes. So it's not outcome determinative fraud. It's just fraud. It can people get caught. They sign penalty of perjury that they're, that they're not voting in two precincts at one time or they're, they're an American citizen or whatever it is. And you know, there's prosecutors and inspectors general and in bureaus of investigation that go after these people. It's not the reason to totally upend our entire system of voting, especially when Donald Trump is nothing but a fraud. Here's Donald Trump talking about crooked ballots during the State of the Union. Who can forget play it that cheating
John (Guest or Co-host)
is rampant in our elections. It's rampant. I'm asking you to approve the Save America act to stop illegal aliens and others who are unpermitted persons from voting in our sacred American elections. That cheating is rampant in our elections. It's rampant in our. All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote. And no more crooked mail in ballots except for illness, disability, military or travel. None. Why would anybody not want voter id. One reason, because they want to cheat. There's only one reason they want to cheat. They have cheated. And their policy is so bad that the only way they can get elected is to cheat.
Michael Popach
I.
John (Guest or Co-host)
And we're going to stop it. We have to stop it. John, these people are crazy. I'm telling you, they're crazy.
Michael Popach
And just in the last week when he went to Memphis, Tennessee to try to take credit for the falling crime rate, he also said that he referred to mail in ballots as mail in cheating. I think by the time he made this next statement, he had already voted by mail in balloting in Florida. Play the clip.
Donald Trump (quoted)
We'll never lose a race for 50 years. We won't lose a race. We want voter ID. We want proof of citizenship. And we don't want mail in ballots except for the military far away, except for people that are ill, disabled, or people that are away even for a vacation. We'll be generous, okay? Other than that, we don't want mail in ballots because mail in ballots, they cheat.
Michael Popach
Now, what Trump's really trying to do is to force this Save act to require not just like proper identification for voting, because even the Democrats are not that upset about that, but citizenship, to show proof of citizenship, a birth certificate with your proper name on it, people that got married and changed their names or adopted good luck, or a passport, which 40% of America doesn't even have, or a combination of both. Now, Donald Trump wants to use and wants to drive all of the tourists and business commuters crazy who are at airports by forcing the Republicans not to compromise about a partial shutdown of the government and the TSA in particular, because the Democrats are still holding ICE and Border Patrol and Department of Homeland Security accountable until they see major changes. Trump's like, don't bargain with the Democrats. Let's just have long lines, literally in Atlanta that stretched out the door and outside for a lineup for tsa, that's like a four or five hour line. I've been to Atlanta airport many, many times to visit family. And what does Trump do to try to, to try to save the day? He sends in ice, right? Maybe as a test run. Well, let's just do a test run with ICE to see how we'll use them during the election. Right? I mean, that's what, that's what Steve Bannon recently said. So he sends them there not to help process people to get them to their planes on time, but to drive everybody crazy, to actually cause delays, try to continue to capture illegal immigrants at the airport instead of helping get people to their planes, their business meetings, their vacations, their loved ones, their travel, their homes, whatever, on time. They don't even know why they're there. So this is all a charade, right, to try to get the SAVE act passed. See, it's stuck in the Senate, and it's not going to get passed in the Senate because the Democrats have said they will filibuster. Right. It's a procedural move. It used to be we'll talk at length, for weeks at a time to block the bill, but just by putting up the filibuster. In order to overcome the filibuster, the Senate senators, the Senate Republicans have to have 660 votes, and they don't have 60 votes. So the SAVE act is not getting passed. And Trump wants to make this a major issue. But. But he doesn't want to tell the American people, like, I don't mail in ballots when you guys use them as crooked and corrupt and cheating. But when I use it, oh, I happen to live in the White House and I got a vote back in Florida, where I've been registered since 2019. It's this kind of hypocrisy that just, you know, we can't let it go. One of the reasons we do so many videos and so many hot takes, if you want to know our business model here at Midas Touch and Legal af, is because we need to platform these events that get kind of ignored by mainstream media and don't get enough focus and attention, or at least not the level of drill down and analysis that you have come to rely on here on Midas Touch on Legal af. You know, we're back to why independent journalists and commentary is so important and ones that aren't, you know, sort of beholden to corporate parents. Like, I don't worry about profits. I don't worry about shareholders. I don't. I worry about my audience. I worry about being credible and authentic and truthful. And that's why I'm here. Not doing and not. You know, I remember when I first started this, my wife was like, oh, I want to see you on cnn. I'm like, I don't. That's not where I want to. That's not the people. That's not where the people are that I want to be with. I want to be with them here. And so we grab these stories about elections and voting that matter so much to our audience, and we're like a dog with a bone. We don't let up on it. We don't. Both sides it. We focus, we give you, you know, facts to make your own opinion. We give you our good faith, honest commentary, which you rely on and we appreciate. So that's why all of this goes on in the Midas Touch and Legal AF ecosystem. It's, you know, I don't just want it to be at the bottom of a birdcage. Donald Trump votes, mail in balloting. It's like buried in the New York Times. I don't want it to be buried. I want to drill down on it with heavy artillery to show the hypocrisy and the immorality and the lawlessness of this administration. And to those that continue to follow him, he doesn't respect you. He, he takes advantage of you. He hopes you don't know about these things. Right. He patronizes you and he doesn't think much about your intellect because if he did, he wouldn't think he could get away with it. And we don't let him get away with it. Here on Midas Touch at legalif.
