WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:06.799 Welcome to Political Beatdown. It's Michael Cohen here with Today. 2 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.400 Today we have Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis is part of 3 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.759 our Midas Touch Network family. He has five minute news 4 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.960 He's done all the time. Anthony, Which other shows do 5 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:19.039 you have there at MTN? 6 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.000 On Wednesdays I do Uncovered with Ron philip Kowski where 7 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.760 we uncover the mac of propaganda, and on Sundays I 8 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.039 do the Weekend Show, which is the long interview shows 9 00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.600 where we get deep into the you know, the pro 10 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.840 democracy rhetoric. So you know, I'm a huge fan of yours, Mike. 11 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.600 I just want to start with that, just to blow 12 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.960 a little bit of smoke in your direction, because I'm 13 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.759 a big fan of this show, so to be here 14 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.679 it feels very weird. You know. I feel like we're 15 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:45.679 crossing the streams in those Marvel movies. 16 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:47.560 Yeah, well, I appreciate that. 17 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.759 The Only thing is that the accent is kind of 18 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.359 throwing me off because you know what ends up happening. 19 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.039 I'm actually going to be on the BBC tonight. 20 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:59.119 I'm doing some election result work for them, so I'm 21 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:04.040 actually believing in Washington, DC right now, and that's why, 22 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.079 of course you'll notice the bed in the background. 23 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.159 Not my home. This is a hotel room. But look, obviously, 24 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:11.640 today's the big day. 25 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.439 Today's the day that we have been talking about now 26 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.920 for a long time. Ben In, myself and everybody on 27 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.280 the MTN network, we've all been talking about this day 28 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.920 for a really really long time. And you know what 29 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.560 I want to do, Anthony, I want to actually place 30 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.280 our brigaders. That's what we call our political beatdown. They're 31 00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.519 the brigaders. I want to put some of some of 32 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.439 your minds to ease here, all right, because we're going 33 00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.359 to show you some stuff, as we always do, that 34 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.640 should sort of explain why Donald Trump cannot possibly win, 35 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.040 why there is not fifty point one percent of this 36 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.760 country stupid enough to believe and to listen to the 37 00:01:52.959 --> 00:02:00.599 absolute rambling, nonsensical speeches of a lunatic mind, right because 38 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.640 that's really what it is. It's the nonsensical rantings of 39 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.200 a lunatic mind. That's actually from the movie Young Frankenstein 40 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.400 with Gene Wilder. And one of the things that I 41 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:13.360 want to first start out with is, there's so many 42 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:17.840 people standing right now. They have these correspondents at so 43 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.159 many different swing state poll sites, and so on, and 44 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.400 what we're beginning to get information on is forgetting about 45 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.400 all of the ballots. It's like seventy two to seventy 46 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.879 four million ballots have already been sent in. I believe 47 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.400 that the number is obviously even more. But they're polling 48 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:42.120 people at these sites, asking them who who you're voting 49 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.840 for and why, because it's not just major news outlets 50 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.919 and cable news outlets, but it's those the people like 51 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.159 us podcasters, and people would chose like Harry Sisson, he's 52 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.039 over there and he's talking to people in Philadelphia and 53 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:58.039 so on and so forth. 54 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.120 I want to show you a clip. All right, we're 55 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.960 in deep red Georgia. In Georgia, all right, deep red Georgia. 56 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:11.800 They start asking them questions. Voters are voting blue. Just 57 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:12.560 play the clip. 58 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.639 I have voted with Ove again. Yeah, yeah, I love 59 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.800 for the man. I don't love for their party. 60 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.159 So what are your thoughts on the election or my 61 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.800 thoughts on my what on the election? Hey? Much? Think 62 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:36.360 about it? Well, who are you going to vote for? Trump? Okay, 63 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:36.960 tell me why. 64 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.439 Last time you saw him talking, did you watch his 65 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.159 lips moment? 66 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:43.719 He's lying? 67 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.039 Yeah, he's lying right, By the way, that was deep 68 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:50.280 red Georgia that I don't think that county has seen 69 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:57.080 a Democrat in like forty some odd years. It's incredible, right, an. 70 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.159 I get the feeling that the media fallen for Trump's 71 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.599 confidence trick, right, which is to convince the country that 72 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.479 he's popular, to convince the country that he's a winner. 73 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:10.919 The guy hasn't won anything since twenty sixteen, and so 74 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.520 everything has to be performative. We know that. I mean, 75 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:16.199 did you see that clip where he was at the 76 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.439 rally and he was like, there's never an empty seat here, 77 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.600 and the cameraman decided to zoom out and show all 78 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.480 these empty seats in there. I mean that was finally, 79 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.600 you know, the curtain being pulled back from the Wizard. 80 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.800 I really get the sense that the media have been 81 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.600 so slow to kind of realize that this whole storyline 82 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:39.319 is basically a production and that in reality, voters are 83 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.040 not going to put a convicted felon back in the 84 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.759 White House. They're just not, and the polls they don't 85 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:46.639 seem to reflect that. 86 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.720 You know what's very funny is I was just you know, 87 00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.639 checking out X and just one person turned around and said, 88 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.639 there's no doubt Kamala is going to win. There is 89 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.800 its reality versus is reality TV. 90 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.519 And that's really the best way to kind of it was. 91 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.480 I thought it was brilliant reality, which is what Kamala 92 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.240 Harris and Tim Walls are living in. And then you 93 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.920 have reality TV where everything is you just stated, of course, 94 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.000 in a much better accent than my you know, Semi 95 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.959 Long Island, Brooklyn, New York. I'm a yeah, well that's 96 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.560 only because it's not yours, right, Yours is the accident 97 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.519 that gets the women. So what ends up happening is, 98 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.439 you know, it's reality TV. It's all about him sitting 99 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.759 there by the way, Jeremy, if we have that, if 100 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.279 we have that clip of the cameraman who goes ahead, 101 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.519 I don't know if it was actually done to embarrass 102 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.319 Trump per se as much as it was is to 103 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:49.040 again acknowledge that Donald Trump is lying, that he's basically 104 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:53.360 lying to people who are there, so in essence saying 105 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.040 ignore your lying eyes. 106 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.800 Right, Maybe we can talk about that for a second, 107 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.000 because you you know him, right, you've been with him. 108 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.079 There is something about someone with a character like that 109 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.360 where he could be in a room with people and 110 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.560 literally tell them that the sky is a different color, 111 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.879 and they'll kind of believe it because he's standing there 112 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.240 and they buy into his confidence and to his kind 113 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.920 of lying narrative. Is this some truth to that that 114 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.560 actually everybody in that rally room knows that it's empty, 115 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.399 but because they are in the cult of Trump, they 116 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:28.439 ain't going to say anything. 117 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.399 So nobody's saying anything because at a rally, right and 118 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.800 you're there with other maggots, you're not going to say anything. 119 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.199 But of course they realize that he's lying. In fact, 120 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.480 one of the things that so many cameramen are actually 121 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.120 showing as well, which again Donald is lying about when 122 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.920 he says nobody ever leaves my rallies. 123 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.360 Quite frankly, they leave hers. There's nobody even there. She 124 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.839 only had one hundred people, and we're full to the capacity, 125 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.519 and there's hundreds of thousands of people waiting outside. And 126 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.160 again that people are like looking around, like what you 127 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.240 what are you talking about here? This is that's that clip. 128 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.160 I would love for you to play it, you know, 129 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.720 just just interrupt me and just drop it right in there, 130 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.160 you fire it. 131 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:21.120 Right in because it's absolutely hysterical here. All of a sudden, 132 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.959 all of a sudden he's saying something that you know 133 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.480 that you know is not true. It would be like 134 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:31.959 if I turn around and I said to you that 135 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:37.720 I'm the center for the New York Knicks and you're saying, yeah, 136 00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.120 I actually happen to know who the center is and 137 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.279 you're five to eleven, he's like seven foot four, that 138 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.600 there's got to be something wrong, Like you're sure that 139 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.439 you really need you're the center for the New York Knicks, 140 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.040 And I say, yeah, one hundred, that's exactly who I am. 141 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.920 And I scored a quadruple double yesterday, you know, And 142 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.319 they're saying to you, nobody's ever done that history of basketball, 143 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.519 nobody's ever played basketball, quite frankly, the way I played 144 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:06.399 basketball on the best basketball player ever. 145 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:07.839 And you sit there and. 146 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.720 You're like, stop it, right, but you're not saying it. 147 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.199 For what reason, I don't know, but I do have 148 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:20.480 to say Donald Trump can be extremely charming. He can, though, 149 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:25.279 the Donald Trump that we're seeing today is extremely different, 150 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.920 extremely different than the Donald Trump that I knew when 151 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.440 I was with him for almost a decade and a half. 152 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.639 So mine isn't like some casual meeting where it's like, hey, 153 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.399 I was the first phone call every single morning at 154 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.679 like five am, and the last at eleven and change 155 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:47.440 at night before he went to sleep for over a decade. 156 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:49.519 All right, And I'm going. 157 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.759 To tell you something too before I end up showing 158 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:57.320 you that clip. He doesn't have a Michael Cohen around him. 159 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:02.519 He does not, and you know, but I'm actually thankful 160 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:06.039 that he doesn't, because if I was still around him, 161 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:08.879 things would be very different. And I think that this 162 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.000 election would actually be a whole lot closer for him, 163 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.960 if not even him victorious, because we have so many 164 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.200 great mistakes, Anthony, There's so many great mistakes that I 165 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.120 see them making on a daily basis that I said, 166 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:24.919 I never would have allowed this to happen. 167 00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.240 I never would about how he's, how he's changed, because 168 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.480 you said he's he's changed in the last decade. He's 169 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.840 kind of unrecognizable. And I even noticed that, you know, 170 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.000 this morning he went to put his you know, put 171 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.080 his ballot in the in the box in Florida with 172 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.320 his pay per view wife, and I was just like, 173 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:47.080 he seemed really very not meek, because that's never a 174 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.639 word I really want to use to describe that guy. Maargic, 175 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.559 like a shadow of his former self tell us about 176 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:55.399 the difference between then and now. 177 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:56.240 Well, first of. 178 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.799 All, remember I worked for Donald as an employee as 179 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.759 executive vice president of the Trump Org and special counsel 180 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.840 to Donald from two thousand and seven to twenty seventeen 181 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.399 to the day of inauguration. 182 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:18.200 Then I became personal attorney to President Donald Trump. It's 183 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:18.960 many years ago. 184 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:23.279 I mean, you're talking about almost you know, eight years 185 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:27.399 ago from the time I stopped as opposed to eighteen 186 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:34.720 years ago. Everybody changes over eighteen years. He's lethargic. Now 187 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.039 he's also. 188 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:38.360 Angry. 189 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.000 And the problem with Donald Trump is when he gets angry, 190 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.519 he doesn't think straight. And what he does he believes 191 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.080 that whatever he says is the gospel, it's one hundred percent. 192 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.279 But he doesn't know. There you go. 193 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.720 Now he wants reporters shot too. I mean, this is 194 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:59.200 this is crazy. This is just craziness. He doesn't know 195 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:02.759 what to say in order to keep not just his base, 196 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.399 but he thinks that this is going to draw people 197 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.559 in because look, Anthony, I'm sure you know you have 198 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.519 issues with you know, the press as well. They say things, 199 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.559 they write things, they don't really care about fact checking 200 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:20.080 or truth at least that's things that I've experienced. 201 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.559 And then you turn around and say, but do I 202 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.080 really want them shot? 203 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:24.399 No? 204 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.600 Absolutely not. You know, I believe in a free and 205 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:30.080 fair press. But I want to go back for a 206 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:31.159 second before. 207 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.679 We actually and I want to show you the lie 208 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:37.919 that we started this entire conversation, Anthony. I want to 209 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.360 show you and the brigaders, the lie of Donald Trump 210 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:47.159 telling the audience that his crowds are always capacity. Hers 211 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.360 are not. Play the clip. 212 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:53.799 Nine years we've had the biggest rallies in history of 213 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:59.080 any country, and every ralli's full. You don't have any 214 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.200 seats that are empty. You don't have anything yet. I 215 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.480 mean the one we had today you missed beauty. We 216 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.600 could have filled that place up twenty times. I mean 217 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.600 that was beautiful. And the Virginia round. Did you hear 218 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.200 about the Virginia Really that was on Glenn Youngkin did 219 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.159 a great job the governor of Virginia, and they had 220 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:18.799 a crowd there. 221 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:25.440 Yeah. Remember what I said before, don't trust your lying eyes, 222 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:26.320 trust mine. 223 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.639 It's it's so interesting that this is a guy who 224 00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:34.519 you know, after a decade of lyne because I was thinking, 225 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.639 you know, when you when you and him party company 226 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.919 in twenty seventeen. You effectively gave him to us twenty 227 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.440 eight in twenty eighteen. We've had him since that period, 228 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.320 and it's been difficult, to say the very least, because 229 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.159 it changed the whole political landscape. Suddenly he was kind 230 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.960 of riding off the back of being anti establishment. I'm 231 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.919 not a politician, and he's not even a business man. 232 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.639 I mean, the guy played one on TV. But you know, 233 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:01.440 I was reading that stuff about the marketing director from 234 00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.559 The Apprentice who said, you know, his boardroom was too shabby. 235 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:07.279 We had to create a set with one to kind 236 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.799 of make him look like he was more of a 237 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:14.080 serious business person than he really was. And he was available. 238 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.480 I mean, all the other billionaires they went to simply 239 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.480 weren't available to do that show. But Trump is a 240 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.440 is a showman first, Isn't he like that? Kind of 241 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.240 really to me, I get the impression that he maybe 242 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.159 should have just been an actor or reality team she. 243 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.879 Wanted to be he as a young man, that's really 244 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.639 what he wanted to be and left. He wanted to 245 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:36.279 be an actor. 246 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.399 So he was acting the role of president for four 247 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.360 years because he didn't want to work. I mean, the 248 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.080 guy just wanted to sit and watch TV talking about 249 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.600 him in the dining room. 250 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:50.399 Yeah, a lot of the things that he is interested in, 251 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.320 Like if there are times that his plane wasn't available, 252 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.960 it was either in for service and whatever, and he 253 00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:59.919 was going down to Florida, so he would jump on 254 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.440 yet Blue or Delta or American Airlines, which I always 255 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:05.879 thought was very endearing. 256 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.399 I really did. I thought it was endearing. But when 257 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.559 he would show up, he would show up with a 258 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:13.759 stack of newspapers. Ivanka used to do the same thing. 259 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.759 She used to copy Daddy in that all the time, 260 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.639 they show up with a stack of maybe twelve to 261 00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:20.799 fifteen newspapers, and he'll go through them, even when he's 262 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.159 on his own plane, you know, he'll go through them. 263 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:27.799 He's not reading the newspaper for the news or the information. 264 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:30.480 He's reading it in order to see if his name 265 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:34.480 is actually in it. Right, So that's a very different 266 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.759 that's a very different type of a person. Right, I'm 267 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.440 reading the newspaper for the article for what it says. 268 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.879 He's reading it to see if he made the newspaper, 269 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.879 or if there's some opportunity that he thinks could be 270 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.840 there for example, how he ended up learning even about 271 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:55.919 the Kluege estate, which is what ultimately became the Trump winery. 272 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.759 He read about that in a paper or the Running 273 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.240 Horse project in Fresno, California that he sent me on. 274 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.559 He read in the newspaper. 275 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.960 About how this thousand acre property is supposed to be 276 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.919 the site of like the twenty ten US Open, the 277 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.039 golf right, a PGA championship, which he did not have 278 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.240 one at the time. And he always wanted to say, 279 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.840 He's like, go get it right, go see if we 280 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:24.080 can't get that project. 281 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.200 And you know, I went to Fresno a couple of times. 282 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:29.120 It didn't happen. But that's how he reads. 283 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:32.840 The newspaper, mostly for his name, but also to see 284 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.039 what could be potentially available. But I do really want 285 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.279 to get back into these swing states. I want to 286 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.960 get into the conversation on these swing states. And you 287 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:49.039 know how we're beginning to see voters actually turn and 288 00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:55.200 move away from red or purple to blue. 289 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.600 Play the clip on the Wisconsin I mean you have 290 00:15:58.639 --> 00:15:59.679 a vote for conviction. 291 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:03.240 Tel, I'm the president of that conservative mart Gannon says 292 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.399 instead of Trump, he's picking the Harris was ticket. 293 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:09.039 I voted for him the first time he read. I 294 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.840 was grave with this. The point of it. I think 295 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.240 we need younger people. 296 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:14.960 I mean, what's an eighty year old person know what 297 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.159 thirty year old's family needs. 298 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.399 Yeah, there's a lot stacked against him. I mean, A, 299 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.320 he's seventy eight years of age. B he's done it before, 300 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.559 and he screwed up COVID so badly. We know he 301 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.519 inherited Obama's economy, so he can't really take credit for that. 302 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.559 I think people are starting to realize that now. But 303 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.600 I just cannot see why people would want someone who 304 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:45.320 is so divisive, so aggressive, so abusive with their language 305 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.840 to represent America. That's the bit, you know, from a 306 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.919 holistic perspective, that's the way I look at this. That 307 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.559 you know, you can pull these swing states as much 308 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.480 as you like. There's going to be an awful lot 309 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.519 of Republicans who might not publicly admit that they voted 310 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.080 for Harris, but privately, when they're in the booth, that's 311 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:03.799 what they're going to do. 312 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.799 And the only person that's going to know who you 313 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:11.359 voted is you and your God, plain and simple right. 314 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.279 And then the person who's taleling up the vote you know, 315 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:17.759 if in fact that it's by a mail in ballot 316 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.000 or right the machine itself, that information is between you 317 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.720 and yourself and your God. And so the notion that 318 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.799 everybody who is a Republican is voting for Trump, we 319 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.880 already know that thirty percent of the Republican Party become 320 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.799 the Nikki Haley supporters have already said they are not 321 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.799 voting for Donald Trump for a multitude of reasons, some 322 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.799 of which, Anthony, you spelled out. The divisiveness, the rhetoric, 323 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:51.480 the anger, the vitriol, the attacks right the again, the sexism, 324 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:55.119 the racism, et cetera. That's not That's not what I 325 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:58.480 think people want. Will I think the American people, at 326 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:03.079 least more than fifty point point one percent are tired 327 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.880 of waking up to the chaos, to this like Kardeshian 328 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.440 reality show that we call our daily news. 329 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.119 Do you remember that every day and of course you 330 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.279 remember every day under the Trump administration was a scandal, right, 331 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.680 whether it was in drawing the hurricane with the sharpie 332 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.839 or you know, something that just everything was going wrong 333 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:25.319 and I would wake up and I'd be like, what's 334 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:28.480 it going to be today? They criticized Kamala Harris with 335 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.640 Joe Biden's administration for not doing anything. But what they're 336 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:35.640 actually saying is there wasn't a daily scandal, and they 337 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:39.559 just assume that without daily scandals, that they aren't doing anything. 338 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:43.680 I don't want the administration to be drawing attention to itself. 339 00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.920 I want them to be running the country quietly and effectively. 340 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:50.000 And I think that is the greatest fear. Going back 341 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.519 to Trump means going back to the controversies and to 342 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:59.880 the extremism, the insane, weird relationships, the secret meetings with Putin, 343 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.720 and you know, thinking Victor Auburn is a great person 344 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.759 to kind of give you a reference. I mean, come on, 345 00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:08.759 I just think the American people are smarter than that, 346 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:10.079 which is partly why I moved here. 347 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:15.039 Yeah, look, I hope I hope that they are, because 348 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:20.359 I can't imagine what the next decade is going to 349 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.720 look like. We're already having to and I think we're 350 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.599 all acknowledge this even when Trump loses. Even when he loses, 351 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:34.319 there is still trump Ism alive in America. 352 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:36.160 There are too many. 353 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:39.759 Politicians that have decided that they want to be the 354 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.920 Trump two point oh, the Trump three point oh, guys 355 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:47.480 like Ron DeSanctis, who Trump himself has excommunicated. 356 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.440 This guy was on the trail with Trump. You know. 357 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:55.079 Newsweek did an article last week. It's written by Catherine 358 00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.759 fun Funng. I talk about it since I read it 359 00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.279 just the other day. Popped up on my and I 360 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:05.519 actually had to call her and to thank her for 361 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:11.519 the article, which was really done many weeks ago, but 362 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.599 she revived it and then wrote and wrote the story 363 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.079 where I had made a comment to her in a 364 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:23.440 conversation that Donald Trump eats alone. And when I say 365 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:26.200 Donald Trump eats alone, I'm not talking about this is 366 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.720 a guy who goes out to the twenty one club 367 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.839 or the Polo bar or what have you, by himself 368 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.640 and he has his steak with his potatoes in the 369 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:40.799 whole nine yards. No, I'm talking about it as a reference, right. 370 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.960 It's an analogy meaning Elon Musk thinks that Donald Trump 371 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.480 is going to be a useful idiot for him to become, 372 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:50.640 you know. 373 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.839 The ruler of the whole world, or. 374 00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.799 To take over the world, or to be involved with 375 00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:02.200 our NASA and so on. Again, what this is is 376 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.200 a fantasy by Elon Musk. In fact, when Elon Musk 377 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.000 at that rally, the racist rally at Madison Square Garden, 378 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.960 got those booming cheers when he got out for like 379 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:17.759 five minutes, the crowd was going crazy. He got more 380 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.279 applause than Donald did. Don't think for a second that 381 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:24.039 that is not noticed by Trump. 382 00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.400 And when I say Donald eats alone, he doesn't like 383 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:30.799 anybody else getting any accolades at all. 384 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:35.920 In fact, that's the death touch. That's what Ron DeSantis 385 00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:39.680 ended up experiencing. When people were saying, you know, he 386 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.480 would be a great president, all of a sudden, Trump 387 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.200 is like, the fuck what. 388 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.119 This guy, this guy's getting, this guy's getting all this 389 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:50.519 notoriety off my back. And now all of a sudden 390 00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.400 they're talking about maybe he should end up being the president, 391 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:55.519 and so on and so forth. And that was the 392 00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.279 kiss of death. 393 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.759 The same thing for guys like John Paulson, for Howard Lutnick, 394 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:01.359 for Steve Whitcoff, all. 395 00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.279 These guys, all these guys turn out, oh, you know, 396 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.640 Donald's my best friend, Donald's my best friend. Fuck out here, 397 00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.119 all right. 398 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.359 You know, tries increasingly isolated, though, isn't he And not 399 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.720 just from people that used to be friends, but even 400 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.079 just the way in which he operates. He almost has nobody, 401 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.920
