This is Michael Popak, Legal AF.
Donald Trump's about as hot as a cat on a hot tin roof.
He's jumpy, he's nervous, he's looking behind him.
He's paranoid.
This is the guy that's running to be the leader
of the free world, not when his entire office
in the Republican National Committee office in West Palm Beach, Florida and
his campaign office shut down because somebody put $14 prank plastic quote-unquote
listening devices under the desks and they started beeping. Now look, I get it.
They're paranoid. The Iranians, according to the FBI and other
intelligence agencies, the ones that Donald Trump doesn't believe exist or believe that they do a
good job, they've already told the Trump campaign that there's been an attempt to hack his emails.
And now they're looking for, I don't know what, communists, socialists, Kamala Harris,
the Democratic National Committee, everything under their desks.
And the West Palm Beach police had to be called out
for this all new reporting,
both in the New York Times and in other places,
which I thought was hilarious.
Now I lived in West Palm Beach.
I lived in Palm Beach County.
I sort of know these people
and I know the law enforcement there.
Here's how they wrote up in their police report.
And I'm sure they had a bite a hole in their tongue and in their cheek how they wrote up in their police report, and I'm sure
they had a bite a hole in their tongue and in their cheek when they wrote this.
All in caps as only police reports can do. Found potential listening devices,
heard beeping by desks, internal security also found device. The police report read
thinks the the person who made the report thinks they have found listening devices, quote unquote,
bugs in the office. And I don't mean ones you need an
exterminator for. I mean, the Trump campaign and the Trump
people are so skittish right now. Okay, that if you just,
whoa, boo, they would they would be startled. And this is a guy
that's supposed to be focused
on preparing for a debate that he thinks he's already won
because he's the better debater against Kamala Harris
who spent her life giving opening statements
and closing arguments and being a prosecutor.
I got news for him.
And she spent the last four years being vice president
of the United States.
Kamala Harris is ready.
Kamala Harris is being prepared.
And what Kamala Harris and her people aren't doing
is jumping at the sight of their own shadow
or a $14 listening device prank gift
that you too can buy on Amazon.
Now, I don't know what's more delicious,
the person that actually planted these three listening
devices, fake listening devices to scare the crap
out of the Trump organization or
that person knowing that the Trump organization are now so paranoid that they think there is like
Watergate at every turn. Let me return to Watergate for a minute so people remember
where all these gates came from. Watergate refers to the Watergate Hotel. And that is where the committee to reelect the president,
yes, it was called CREEP, C-R-E-E-P,
who was the campaign arm of the Nixon candidacy
for a second term,
decided that they were gonna use a bunch of,
quote unquote, plumbers out of Miami,
primarily led by people like G. Gordon Liddy,
to break into the Democratic National Committee offices
in the Watergate Hotel, tape the door open
and rifle around and look for things.
These bumblers were caught by security guards and police
and that led to the Watergate scandal.
And now the term we use for anything
where there's a scandal, it backs up to the presidency,
it's usually called something gate.
And so that's where it came from.
This isn't listening bug gate, Amazon gate.
This is just a bunch of skittish Trump campaign officials
who thought nothing, but instead of to look at it
and decide that this was a prank,
try to blame the Democrats,
try to blame Kamala Harris for blowing $13.97 on Amazon and sticking this beeping device under
their desks. That's where they belong. They belong under their desk. Now, this is a person
who's campaigning to be the leader of the free world, to run and be the
commander-in-chief, to run our national security, to be the head ultimately of
all of our intelligence community. And he and his people can't tell the difference
between a $13 beeping prank gift that you can buy on Amazon and an actual
spy gear listening device. I mean, Donald Trump should spend
less time commenting on Kamala Harris's appearance, her ethnicity, her racial makeup, how she
identifies herself, how Joe Biden looks in a bathing suit. And he should spend a lot
more time getting his professionals kind of banded together, properly trained and ready because
they are not ready for prime time. This is the group that's going to get swept into the White
House by a Donald Trump win. I don't want them anywhere. I don't even want them to be allowed
to take a White House tour, let alone go back to the White House. I mean, you know, you can buy lots
of things on Amazon. You can buy, remember, you can buy plastic vomit. You can buy whoopie cushions.
You can buy itching powder. Remember all those things? There used to be a company that was
right near me in New Jersey called Adams, for those that remember. You get a fly ice cube and
you put it in your friend's drink
or a dribble glass.
Do you remember all those things?
Those things are great.
And now you can buy a $13.97 listening device
and you too can freak the crap out of the Trump campaign
and have them call the local police
and close down their door for the day.
Cat food has been the same forever.
It's time for cat food to move
into the 21st century. That's why you've got to try Smalls. It's time to make kibble a thing of
the past. Smalls cat food is protein packed recipes made with preservative free ingredients
you'd find in your fridge and it's delivered right to your door. That's why veterinarians.org rates smalls 10 out of 10
for ingredient quality.
My cat, Chanel, yeah, Chanel,
her favorite flavor is smooth fish.
And my cat prefers smalls way more
than her previous cat food.
I did a taste test.
I put two bowls side by side
and Chanel immediately went to smalls.
Smalls was started back in 2017 by a couple of guys
home cooking cat food in small batches for their friends.
And a few short years later,
they've served millions of meals to cats across the US.
I feel better knowing I'm feeding my cat Chanel
real food, not burnt kibble.
I can finally open a packet of cat food
and not get nauseous. I actually recognize the ingredients
in a packet of Smalls food.
After making the switch to Smalls,
88% of cat owners reported overall health improvements.
That's a big deal.
The team at Smalls is so confident
your cat will love their product
that you can try it risk-free.
That means they will refund you if your cat won't eat their food.
Now is the time to make the switch to Smalls.

I mean, they went out of business effectively for the day.
This may explain why Donald Trump
was not on the campaign trail on Labor Day. He's supposed to be trying, he is supposed to be trying to attract the
labor vote, the blue-collar vote, the union vote, and yet he found something
else to do. I don't even know what it was on Labor Day. While Kamala Harris, Joe
Biden, and Tim Walz were out with shoe leather, right? Pounding the pavement, whistle stop tour,
meeting voters, doing rallies, doing speeches and the rest.
That's what you're supposed to do if you want to be president of the United States,
not do some stupid podcast interview. Donald Trump's energy is flagging. He is quietly
energy is flagging. He is quietly quitting his campaign. He's phoning it in almost literally. The substitute for rallies, campaigning, meeting voters, going out and seeing them,
apparently is to do podcasts and softball interviews and phoning into radio shows.
That's what he's doing when he's not sending JD Vance out to attack
women one way or the other and demean them and make them second-class
citizens in a misogynist, almost rhetorically violent manner. That's what
they're doing while their staff and their campaign are busy hiding under
their desk literally looking for phony listening devices that they think were
planted there.
I got news for them.
The Democrats and progressives and independents don't need to eavesdrop on your campaign.
We don't want to adopt your strategy.
It's very transparent what it is.
You just wheel out this almost 80-year-old guy who's got the beginnings of dementia and you let him just
you just pull a string in his back and you let him attack away and say nasty, violent,
misogynistic, pornographic things about Kamala Harris. And when he's not doing that, he's
busy complimenting himself or promoting his narcissism. That's your campaign strategy.
I didn't need a listening device for that.
You guys are unhinged.
You're going for the Bubba vote, I got it.
You're going for the bro vote.
You're going for the brohemians or whatever you call them.
I have a news flash for them.
There's not enough white under 25 year old
World Wrestling Federation Federation MMA podcast supporters to
vote you into the White House. Now look I get only 40,000 votes mattered last time.
I'm not sure that's how that's gonna roll this time. I know that people think
it was only 0.04% of the entire electorate voted for the
president or got the president elected at the end, you know,
but I'm not sure that's going to happen again. Not if Kamala Harris has her way and her campaign
continues to roll. But I got a report, even though it made me laugh and I had a stifle of laugh
throughout this hot take, I had a report on the great national security expert, the great
the great national security expert, the great believer that he can solve all world wars just by thinking about them.
He's got the secret sauce to solve why Russia invaded Ukraine.
It would never have happened on his watch.
I got news for people that believe that.
I've interacted with some of them recently on the other side.
They don't understand history.
They never studied history, and they have no idea what continuity of history means at all. Okay? When the Soviet Union
rolled ahead, nobody blamed Ronald Reagan, right? When all the other wars started on the Republican time.
We didn't blame that administration.
Clinton didn't have any wars happen to him.
That was more a coincidence than it was a factor of his foreign policy.
The fact that Obama, we had no wars except Russia tried to take part of Crimea.
Biden, no wars except Russia decided to take part of Crimea. Biden, no wars except Russia decided to take part
of its neighbor again. Israel has been on fire since the 1970s and it doesn't matter our political
electoral calendar doesn't matter. It matters what they want to do at any particular time about their
sovereignty and about dealing with terrorists
next door. That's how that works. So, but for those people that put Donald Trump up
on a pedestal and say, he's the great, he's the great unifier. He's the great protector
of our democracy. He's the great expert on foreign policy. He can't tell the difference
between a $13 toy listening device and actual bugging of his campaign. And we
don't need to bug your campaign. We're gonna beat you fair and square. But
you're not gonna get out from under the justice system just because you think it
also has a bad look while you're running for office. We'll continue to follow it
all at the intersection of law and politics. I do it right here in the
Midas Touch Network. I don't blow smoke or sunshine. People know that about me.
I'm not censored. I'm not, I'm not, nobody tells me what to say. I barely know what I'm going to
say when I take to the microphone. Join me on Legal AF. Can everybody see that? At the intersection
of law and politics, every Wednesday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern time, we curate the top five
stories at the intersection of law and politics. We bring it to you right here on a podcast we call,
what is it? Legal AF.
And then you can pick us up on all podcast platforms,
audio podcast platforms.
Just look for our, what?
Our album cover.
There it is again.
