00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Political Beatdown. I'm Ben my Cellas, joined by

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Michael Cohen. What a historic episode this will be. This

3
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>is our last episode before the Manhattan District Attorney criminal

4
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>trial against Donald Trump commences. Donald Trump made ten separate

5
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>attempts at trying to get an adjournment three this week,

6
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>including two extraordinary articles seventy eight emergency appeals to the

7
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Appellate Division, First Department. Trump was rejected each and every time.

8
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>The last time he was rejected was yesterday afternoon. So

9
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 1>all signs are pointing to the first criminal trial against

10
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump commencing on Monday. Michael Cohen, your reaction to

11
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>this all.

12
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, Monday is a very big day. Salty

13
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 2>throw it up there, so people understand that the day

14
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:11.920
<v Speaker 2>is expected to be mostly stormy with a chance of incarceration.

15
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.000
<v Speaker 2>This same will probably follow from Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and

16
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 2>then Friday. Let me be clear though, right without trying

17
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 2>to be funny or conical, which is my general nature,

18
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Monday is the beginning of what deer. That's where they're

19
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 2>going to try to impanel a jury that will ultimately

20
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 2>sit twelve jurors. Two alternates for the you know, for

21
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 2>the life of this of this trial. I'll tell you

22
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>a prediction that I do have ben which is Todd

23
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Blanche and Susan Necklace are going to do everything that

24
00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>they can to drag the void dea process as long

25
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>as they can, and each and every time that Judge

26
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 2>Murshan tries to speed it up and to move it along,

27
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>because you know, in New York, especially in state court,

28
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>the judges play a very active role in the voisda process.

29
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's already a list of questions that they're

30
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>going to provide. We talked about that on the last show,

31
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>where one of the questions is have you ever listened

32
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>to Michael Cohen's May Kulpa podcast? Have you ever listened

33
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 2>to his political Beatdown podcast? Have you read either of

34
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>his books? Or do you follow him on social media?

35
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, we'll see what happens there. But they're going

36
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>to use that as an attempt to once again file

37
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 2>more motions to delay this case, claiming that they are

38
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 2>impeding in Trump's ability to have a fair trial based

39
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.919
<v Speaker 2>upon the Vaidias selection. They're gonna look to have Judge

40
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Murshan recused. They're gonna look to have the venue changed

41
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>like these past ten I don't even know what's the

42
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>right way to call these motions. Ben frivolous, you know.

43
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Cohen, absolutely frivolous. Because let me say this, if any

44
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>other litigant brought these types of things in any other context,

45
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>they would be seriously sanctioned, and they would be labeled

46
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 1>a vexatious litigant and be prohibited from making these filings.

47
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 1>That's my understanding. If anyone else was doing this, I'm

48
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 1>sorry for interrupting.

49
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Well you're not. That's the word I was looking for.

50
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, they would be a vexatious litigant and they

51
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>would be sanctioned. He's obviously, as we talk about regularly,

52
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>because this case is so unusual that this is a

53
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>case of first impression. This is the first time that

54
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 2>a former president of the United States is being tried

55
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>in a court of law in a criminal case with

56
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>what is it, thirty four charges, thirty four counts. It's unprecedented,

57
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 2>and it's starting in just a couple of days.

58
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Big news. Indeed, let me just share with everybody just

59
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>so you see what these denials like look like that

60
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>are issued. We can pull up the one from yesterday

61
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>that says Article seventy eight proceeding in the nature of

62
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 1>a prohibition. After hearing argument from Council for all parties,

63
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the Court denies movements application to stay all of the

64
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>proceedings pending resolution of the Article seventy eight proceeding in

65
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the nature of prohibition. And here were the reasons that

66
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.959
<v Speaker 1>Trump cited yesterday. The unconstitutional effects of Justice Mersham's rulings

67
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>are causing ongoing, irreparable constitutional harms to Donald Trump and

68
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the voting public. And if not stopped, we'll prevent petitioner

69
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>from receiving a fair trial. I mean, you don't get

70
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>much more frivolous than that. Then we had the prior

71
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>denial defendant's application for a stay of trial pursuant to

72
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>CPLA Section two thirty point three to zero, pending the

73
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>determination of Defendant's motion for change of venue is denied.

74
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Then we had another one, the application for an interim

75
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.959
<v Speaker 1>stay of the proceedings pending resolution of the Article seventy

76
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>eight proceeding is denied without prejudice to any determination by

77
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>the full Bench regarding Trump's attempt at recusal. So venue recusal.

78
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Justice Mershon's other orders that Donald Trump just generally and

79
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>vaguely says are unconstitutional. But Donald Trump right now is

80
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 1>on his social media platform making videos of himself cursing

81
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 1>in these videos. He's making selfie videos of himself just

82
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.160
<v Speaker 1>saying this is this is but bs, this is bullshit,

83
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>this is bullshit, and then posting them on his social

84
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.480
<v Speaker 1>media platform. Let me show you this video that he

85
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>just made and posted.

86
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 3>So they weaponize government and they take me to court

87
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 3>on bullshit.

88
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>So we are going to win. We're going to win big.

89
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>We're going to go through these horrible Biden trials and

90
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the day, November fifth, everyone's coming

91
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 3>out to vote for Trump, Thank you very much.

92
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 1>You know. And as you watch that, here's the thing

93
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:04.279
<v Speaker 1>that I want to make clear. Trump is presumed innocent.

94
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 1>That is our system. I can have my opinions based

95
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.079
<v Speaker 1>on all of the evidence that I've seen that Trump

96
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 1>will be found guilty and in a fact based way

97
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 1>that we do here, we will or I will explain

98
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>why Trump's behavior though, to rip to shreds our judicial

99
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 1>system is something so anathema to our system of justice,

100
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 1>to law and order, to our democracy, to normalcy. You know,

101
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>if Donald Trump were to make a video and say, look,

102
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 1>as everybody knows, I'm on trial, I'm going to fight

103
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:50.279
<v Speaker 1>for whatever myself and I'm hopeful that there will be

104
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 1>a verdict in my I wouldn't be critical of it.

105
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everyone has the right to do that and

106
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 1>to speak out. But when you have him like that

107
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 1>saying it's bullshit, this is bullshit, you know, it's like,

108
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>grow up, I mean, just grow up and stopped acting

109
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 1>like that. Also, we've got some additional leaked footage Michael

110
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Cohen of Donald Trump's speech he recently gave at Marco

111
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the same time, he is or has been threatening witnesses

112
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 1>like you and Stormy Daniels. He's been posting a lot

113
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.079
<v Speaker 1>of stuff about Stormy Daniels recently. Here's what he's saying

114
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>to people at mar A Lago privately. And so when

115
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 1>people are saying, oh, Cohen, the threats against you, are

116
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 1>you fearful? What do you think? Donald Trump is out there.

117
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 1>He's the leader of the Republican Party. He was once

118
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the President of the United States, disgracing that office where

119
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>he had all the power. He has said that he

120
00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:53.759
<v Speaker 1>believes he should have absolute immunity to order Seal Team

121
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>six to kill his political enemies, and at mar A Lago.

122
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.600
<v Speaker 1>In this new leaked footage that we got from speaks

123
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 1>very fondly of al Capone's ability to murder people and

124
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>get away with it. Let's play this clip.

125
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 4>And before I became well known as somebody that was

126
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 4>indicted more than Alphonse Capone, the legendary Alphonse Capone. You

127
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 4>know al Capone. If he took somebody to dinner and

128
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 4>he didn't like him, he'd kill them. If somebody looked

129
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 4>at him the wrong way, he would kill them. He

130
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 4>once had a date, very lovely young lady, and the

131
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 4>man next to him tried to pick her up. Guess

132
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 4>what happened to him. It wasn't good. Scarf Fast that

133
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 4>it was not good to go after Alphonse Capone's go friend.

134
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.200
<v Speaker 4>I'll teach that to these guys, so you don't want

135
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 4>to do that. But it was not a good situation.

136
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 4>He got indicted less than I did. Alphonse. I got

137
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.440
<v Speaker 4>indicted four times. He only got indicted two times. Now,

138
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 4>the good news is our Poe numbers went through the roof.

139
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:00.759
<v Speaker 4>The bad news is I have to deal with these maniacs.

140
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Their maniac colin look wonderful political speech it just goes

141
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>to show you how fantastic his knowledge of history, his

142
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:22.240
<v Speaker 2>intent to be legitimate as a candidate or as a president.

143
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>He's already telegraphing what he's going to do, you know,

144
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 2>these ongoing continuous tax when he's speaking before the crowd

145
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:36.679
<v Speaker 2>of idiots at Marilardo, who gives a fuck? Not me,

146
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>I truly don't care at all. But when he starts

147
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 2>posting on his truth social where he's able to get

148
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 2>his to blow his dog whistle to his MAGA supporters,

149
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.399
<v Speaker 2>these are the ones that you need to be careful for.

150
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>These are the ones that are armed to the teeth.

151
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.120
<v Speaker 2>These are the ones that don't believe, you know, in

152
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.159
<v Speaker 2>gun laws. They're the one that have all the ar

153
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>fifteens and tens of thousands of rounds, and they are

154
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the ones that are somewhat let's just say, unhinged in

155
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 2>order to do the bidding of their furre. It's the

156
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>same sort of group that got suckered into going to

157
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>the capital, many of whom already spent time in prison

158
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 2>or jails, had their lives turned upside down. They're the

159
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.679
<v Speaker 2>ones that he's blowing the dog whistle to. In fact,

160
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 2>salty if you have this one, to me was the

161
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Kappa of all kappas. Michael Alvinadi, as we talked about

162
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.559
<v Speaker 2>the last show, is asked to come on, or actually

163
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 2>he asked MSNBC and they complied and they gave him

164
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 2>this massive, massive platform. You're talking about a guy who

165
00:11:54.600 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 2>robbed a bunch of his clients, including Stormy Daniels, including araplegic.

166
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>There's a guy who tried to extort Nike. There's a

167
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:09.200
<v Speaker 2>guy who went ahead and paid off this guy, Jonathan Frye,

168
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:14.159
<v Speaker 2>an IRS agent in San Francisco, to pull my information

169
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 2>off the Finsen system, that's the financial crimes network. This

170
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 2>is not a good guy. And he goes on and

171
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 2>he starts, he becomes the Talmudchachem, Right, this is the

172
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:32.679
<v Speaker 2>genius of all geniuses that being asked to opine on

173
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the upcoming Alvin Bragg case. Could we go back to

174
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 2>it for one sex salty because this, to me was great.

175
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Avenati comes out then in a statement through of course,

176
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.320
<v Speaker 2>a buddy of his on the outside, the same friend

177
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>that was trying to get him on all the shows,

178
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.200
<v Speaker 2>on all the stations. It's just MSNBC. Ari Melbur was

179
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.639
<v Speaker 2>the only idiot that really did it, and he writes,

180
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:59.120
<v Speaker 2>we can't be hypocrites when it comes to the First Amendment. Really,

181
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.840
<v Speaker 2>how about my fuck and First Amendment constitutional rights being

182
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 2>violated by el Chiedo. It is outrageous that Cohen and

183
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Daniels can do countless TV interviews, post on social and

184
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 2>make money on bogus documentaries or by talking shit about Trump.

185
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.080
<v Speaker 2>But he's gared and threatened with jail if he responds.

186
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine that Avenatti is now trying to champion

187
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Donald's cause? And what does Donald do? Salty show it? Right?

188
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:35.879
<v Speaker 2>What is don? What does Donald do? He puts that

189
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 2>up thank you to Michael Avenatti?

190
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:39.279
<v Speaker 4>Right?

191
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine that he is thanking Michael Avenatti? What

192
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 2>do you think is really going on here? Ben? I'll

193
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.039
<v Speaker 2>give you my I'll give you my my take on it.

194
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Avinatti knows he has another nine years left on his sentence,

195
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.480
<v Speaker 2>and somewhere along the line, I guess he think that

196
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:06.000
<v Speaker 2>if he's successful in helping to either delay this case

197
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>or to witness obstruction of justice or witness tampering, or

198
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:18.159
<v Speaker 2>to get into the head of a juror a prospective juror,

199
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 2>and Donald ends up getting off as a direct result

200
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:27.279
<v Speaker 2>that maybe, just maybe Donald will consider pardon him if

201
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.600
<v Speaker 2>God forbid a million times he wins the election. First

202
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:34.240
<v Speaker 2>of all, Avenati's an idiot because Donald will not pardon

203
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 2>him for anything in the world. He blames him for

204
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.919
<v Speaker 2>a lot of this. He's got a disdain for him.

205
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 2>He'll use him as much as he can, but he

206
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.440
<v Speaker 2>will never do a damn thing for him, that I

207
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>can assure you of. But the fact that Avenadi was

208
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 2>given this opportunity, given this platform on Ari's show, Seriously,

209
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.320
<v Speaker 2>he made a fool of himself. He got a s

210
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>smacked on social media for doing this. Go explain because

211
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

212
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>No, it was inexplicable. And you know Ari Melber, who's

213
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 1>done some good interviews before. It always just kind of

214
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.399
<v Speaker 1>shocks me when legacy media appears to think that that's

215
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.039
<v Speaker 1>how you get ratings and it isn't. I mean, what

216
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>we've shown here at the Midas Touch Network is you

217
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.279
<v Speaker 1>get ratings by just telling people the truth and showing

218
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.679
<v Speaker 1>people the facts, and then showing people the documents and

219
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 1>treating the audience like the intelligent people that they are,

220
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and always representing democracy through that framework and not through

221
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:51.600
<v Speaker 1>what's going to be so shocking that gets the most

222
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 1>ratings for us? He mightas touched network on political beatdown

223
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.799
<v Speaker 1>on all of our shows. We have principles and we

224
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 1>have values, and if politicians, candidates and guests meet those values,

225
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.559
<v Speaker 1>even if we disagree with them on a lot of

226
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>other issues, they're invited on our network. And if they don't,

227
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to allow them to spew propaganda for

228
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the belief that they may help our ratings. I want

229
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:26.159
<v Speaker 1>to have civil, intelligent, fact based conversations here, and I

230
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.919
<v Speaker 1>respect and we respect our audience so much that we

231
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 1>also understand that when you gaslight people the way MSNBC

232
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>does sometimes and the way CNN does, and the way

233
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.519
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times does with the headlines like the

234
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:47.720
<v Speaker 1>recent New York Times headlines saying both presidential candidates are

235
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>not the best messengers on the issue of women's reproductive rights.

236
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>That was actually a headline on New York Times. I

237
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.120
<v Speaker 1>mean Donald Trump actually the person who took away women's

238
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>reproductive rights and brags of it, and President Biden making

239
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.119
<v Speaker 1>a major part of his platform protecting women's reproductive rights,

240
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and the New York Times headline was both sides. Both

241
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 1>people are not good messengers. That gas lighting also causes

242
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 1>a great deal of trauma to people. You know, we're

243
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.799
<v Speaker 1>all living in this thing together where there's a want

244
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 1>to be authoritarian who's trying to overthrow our democracy. You know,

245
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.359
<v Speaker 1>we don't have the luxury of being in our ivory

246
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:37.599
<v Speaker 1>tower like some writers and media companies. We that Trump

247
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.720
<v Speaker 1>and what and Maga and everything they're talking about with

248
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Project twenty twenty five, that if they get into power,

249
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to kill us, that our family members

250
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:50.759
<v Speaker 1>can die, that people that we love for us, this

251
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:54.160
<v Speaker 1>is life or death. And so when a legacy media

252
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.759
<v Speaker 1>treats this whole thing like a game or treats us

253
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:02.119
<v Speaker 1>all like we're stupid, causes such a degree of trauma.

254
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's why when it comes to the coverage here

255
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:08.200
<v Speaker 1>of this criminal case, we're gonna have only the top

256
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 1>experts and people who know like people you like you,

257
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>My Michael Cohen.

258
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, was here. Yeah. The problem here is that

259
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Ari should be ashamed of himself. He should be embarrassed.

260
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:25.880
<v Speaker 2>In fact, he should spend the next the next episode,

261
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 2>at least the first ten minutes apologizing to the American people,

262
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:36.039
<v Speaker 2>to his viewers, to his loyal viewers, the viewers of MSNBC,

263
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>for making a complete and total asshole out of himself

264
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>in terms of putting somebody like a Michael Avnatti on

265
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the stand. This isn't the Michael Avinatti of three years ago,

266
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the narcissist who thought he was going to run for

267
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>the presidency, who was on every single show gaslighting everything,

268
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:02.160
<v Speaker 2>making stuff up because that's what the American people were

269
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:06.960
<v Speaker 2>soaking in. It was like making America into a Kardashian country.

270
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>It was like a Bravo episode of Housewives. All right,

271
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what they were doing, and they fell for it.

272
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.359
<v Speaker 2>And then what happened We learned the truth. We learned

273
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 2>that the guy took money. He stole money from a quadriplegic,

274
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.559
<v Speaker 2>he stole money from Stormy. He turned around and he

275
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 2>tried to extort Nike. Right, but he turns on and

276
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:31.519
<v Speaker 2>he goes, well, you know that he's been that he

277
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:38.079
<v Speaker 2>has been unfairly treated. Could you imagine this maniac staying

278
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:40.359
<v Speaker 2>shit like this? Really?

279
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:44.599
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing though, too, it's also kind of

280
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:49.640
<v Speaker 1>taking accountability, acknowledging you know that that you were wrong,

281
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and I mean, to your point Cohen. It is all.

282
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 1>It feels also kind of very opportunity. It feels so

283
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 1>very opportunistic and sure it's surpris sleep by the way.

284
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.599
<v Speaker 2>For the station, their goal is to Their goal was

285
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.599
<v Speaker 2>to bring them on. They put a little picture of

286
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:08.920
<v Speaker 2>him in the chiron coming up eight o'clock that right,

287
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.480
<v Speaker 2>and they kept promoting it and promoting it. They did

288
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 2>it because they're smashing ratings, right, They're actually doing very

289
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.079
<v Speaker 2>well in there, and they wanted to do something that

290
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:27.359
<v Speaker 2>was even bigger. Instead of being thankful for the ratings

291
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.759
<v Speaker 2>that they have, it also helps them to boost their

292
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:36.640
<v Speaker 2>income regarding advertisers, right, That's why. That's why they did it.

293
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 2>It makes no sense to me at all. I thought

294
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:42.960
<v Speaker 2>it was a huge mistake. Many people even at MSNBC

295
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 2>who I spoke to or believed that it was opportunistic

296
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:50.079
<v Speaker 2>and that it was a massive mistake. And he's taking

297
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:54.559
<v Speaker 2>meaning Ari and his show are taking a massive, massive

298
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.119
<v Speaker 2>beating as a direct result of it. And you know

299
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 2>what I say, This called the count ability, and that's

300
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>what it is. It's accountability.

301
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 1>Let me show you here from more of the leaked

302
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:11.119
<v Speaker 1>footage from Moro Lago. Here we have Donald Trump glitching,

303
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:17.200
<v Speaker 1>claiming he's being prosecuted by someone named Letitia Jones. Let's

304
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.880
<v Speaker 1>play this clip.

305
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.720
<v Speaker 4>They put him into the State of New York and

306
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 4>then ultimately into the DIA's office to run the case.

307
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.920
<v Speaker 4>This is being run by Biden. They put a man

308
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:31.559
<v Speaker 4>in to the state Letitia.

309
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Jones peekaboo, I call her.

310
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Peekaboo.

311
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.839
<v Speaker 4>They put a man into that one to uh Letitia.

312
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 4>They put a man into that one to run it.

313
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:46.599
<v Speaker 4>And then he went into the die's office.

314
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:49.079
<v Speaker 1>What's he even saying there?

315
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:51.599
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea. First of all, Leticia James is

316
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:54.839
<v Speaker 2>a female. I mean, because don't forget his cognitive test

317
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 2>man woman child camera TV. He clearly doesn't know the

318
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>difference between a man and a woman. Tis James is

319
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>a female, all right, Alvin Bragg, I don't know who

320
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.720
<v Speaker 2>or what he's talking about. But can I say this

321
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 2>to you, Ben, The part of that of that video

322
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.759
<v Speaker 2>that I find the most troubling is not how stupid

323
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Donald sounds, or how rambling and nonsensical a point he's

324
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 2>trying to make that he just doesn't I predict.

325
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.160
<v Speaker 1>See if I can mind meld with you right now.

326
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>The people who are there laughing at him saying the

327
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:32.440
<v Speaker 1>racist about New York attorney.

328
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I don't understand what they're thinking, all right. I

329
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:39.599
<v Speaker 2>don't understand. First of I don't know who it is

330
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 2>that's doing it. I wish that I did. But I

331
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:47.119
<v Speaker 2>feel sorry for them, I really do. I don't know

332
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 2>what makes them tick or why they think something like

333
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 2>that is funny, or they just laughing at how stupid

334
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Donald sounds. I don't. I don't think so, right, because

335
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:00.880
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like at a point after uh, I

336
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:06.480
<v Speaker 2>call her peekaboo, peekaboo James, Yeah, peekable, and they're laughing.

337
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Why is that even funny? What? What's funny about it?

338
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.400
<v Speaker 2>You're being you're being criminally charged? Is it thirty four

339
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:19.960
<v Speaker 2>or thirty seven counts? Thirty four thirty four thirty four

340
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:26.519
<v Speaker 2>counts starting on Monday. This is not like Tiss James's

341
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:31.000
<v Speaker 2>civil fraud trial that she got slapped with a five

342
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:36.839
<v Speaker 2>hundred million dollar decision. This is criminal. This is where

343
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:41.079
<v Speaker 2>they turn around, like with Alan Weiselberg right after sentencing.

344
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Please take the orange man, stick him in an orange jumpsuit,

345
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:50.119
<v Speaker 2>all right, and if he wants to appeal, this is

346
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>something Marshan can certainly do. He could remand him to

347
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.759
<v Speaker 2>jail pending the appeal. That's certainly within his right. So

348
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.799
<v Speaker 2>why he's doing the things that he's doing, why he's

349
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 2>saying the things that he's saying. The only the only

350
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:09.920
<v Speaker 2>thing that I could surmise from this sort of ridiculous

351
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>scenario is that Trump has lost his mind. That he's

352
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:23.200
<v Speaker 2>fucking petrified, beyond petrified, and he's just an idiot. I

353
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:28.960
<v Speaker 2>really don't have another way to describe it. I'm not

354
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:34.400
<v Speaker 2>happy about the whole situation. I'm really not, but accountability

355
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 2>must be had.

356
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.039
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you another data point right here. In one

357
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of those selfie videos that Donald Trump was making of

358
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:46.720
<v Speaker 1>himself and posting throughout today. Here he says that radical

359
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:51.880
<v Speaker 1>left Windmills and all sorts want to destroy the country

360
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:55.559
<v Speaker 1>or play this clip. Oh well, they don't have it

361
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:59.039
<v Speaker 1>when they when they get it, please load that. At

362
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the same time, though, let me show you this though,

363
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:05.119
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully we've got this, so we know that Trump's

364
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:11.000
<v Speaker 1>installed Lara Trump as the head of the RNC, the

365
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 1>types of interviews that she's doings, as my team finds,

366
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 1>as our team finds the windmill video clip. You know,

367
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:21.359
<v Speaker 1>this guy Alex Stein, who is who got famous for

368
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.920
<v Speaker 1>sexually harassing AOC and saying all these things about her.

369
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.599
<v Speaker 1>So he's like a very big popular right wing podcaster.

370
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 1>So amongst the MAGA base, they love this guy. So

371
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Lara Trump recently went on his show, and while he's

372
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:45.119
<v Speaker 1>interviewing Lara Trump, he takes this baby doll and he

373
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.319
<v Speaker 1>starts he says that under Biden, you can't hit baby

374
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.079
<v Speaker 1>dolls anymore, and that he really wants to be hitting

375
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.039
<v Speaker 1>baby dolls. So he starts slamming the baby doll, and

376
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.960
<v Speaker 1>then he takes the baby doll and he kicked and

377
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:01.920
<v Speaker 1>then he and then he goes and takes the baby

378
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 1>doll again, and he starts burning the baby doll's head.

379
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:08.799
<v Speaker 1>He takes a lighter to the head of the baby doll.

380
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we've got this photo as well. It's in

381
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the same photostat guys there, it is right there and

382
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>starts burning and Lara Trump's sitting there and laughing at

383
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:23.400
<v Speaker 1>all of this. And you know, as we find that

384
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:26.880
<v Speaker 1>windmill clip, you know, and him saying these things. Cohen,

385
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:31.319
<v Speaker 1>it's so dangerous the want to be authoritarianism. But also

386
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 1>as you just look at this stuff and Lara Trump

387
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:38.640
<v Speaker 1>on this show, like, what is I'm thinking to myself,

388
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.559
<v Speaker 1>what is going this is? You know, I want to

389
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.119
<v Speaker 1>channel President Biden when he goes this is the United

390
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>States of America. This is like a weapon of mass embarrassment.

391
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:54.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm so I'm just I'm embarrassed.

392
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.640
<v Speaker 2>That this is what It's worse than embarrassment. Then I'm confused.

393
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually confused about what point was he trying to make?

394
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, what what what is What is the nature

395
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 2>of the point that he's trying to make in lighting

396
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:19.920
<v Speaker 2>a doll, a baby doll on fire? What's the point

397
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:25.359
<v Speaker 2>that Lara is trying to make, you know, laughing about it?

398
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:31.000
<v Speaker 2>This is not normal behavior, you know, It's almost like laughing,

399
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, when you have an older person and you're like, well,

400
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what, they've they've had their they've had their

401
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:42.319
<v Speaker 2>their time here, you know, and being that they're not Republicans,

402
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:44.960
<v Speaker 2>we should do X y Z. This whole thing is

403
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 2>it's not even like crazy reality television. It's so much

404
00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:57.759
<v Speaker 2>worse than that. I am absolutely concerned. I'm mortified, I'm confused,

405
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:04.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm free, doubt, a nauseated and go on and on

406
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:10.920
<v Speaker 2>and on with with just the bewilderment that I experienced

407
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 2>when I was watching this for the very first time.

408
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I try I'm still at this moment trying to figure

409
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:23.319
<v Speaker 2>out what's the point. What's the point? Yeah?

410
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.880
<v Speaker 1>There there. He just randomly starts saying that, you know,

411
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:33.119
<v Speaker 1>one of his producers just had a baby for the show.

412
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.839
<v Speaker 1>So the producer takes the baby like a real baby,

413
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and then Lara Trump you'll see here pull up the

414
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:43.799
<v Speaker 1>photo of Lara So Lara Trump's actually holding the real baby.

415
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:46.519
<v Speaker 1>That's the producer who's dressed like the clown in the

416
00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:52.559
<v Speaker 1>American flag jumpsuit. And then another producer hands the main host,

417
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.759
<v Speaker 1>Alex Steine, the baby doll, and then Alex Stein starts

418
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>taking the baby doll and smashing it on the floor

419
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>over and over again, and then starts kicking the baby

420
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:07.319
<v Speaker 1>doll and then punts the baby doll, then takes the

421
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>baby doll. Lara Trump's here the whole time watching it.

422
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:13.160
<v Speaker 1>She's laughing at this. She thinks it's funny. And then

423
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Alex Stein's like, under Biden, you can't hit baby dolls.

424
00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to hit baby dolls. I'm a baby doll hitter.

425
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.400
<v Speaker 1>And then he takes the baby doll, punts it, brings

426
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 1>it back, and then lights the baby doll's head, you know,

427
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:28.799
<v Speaker 1>on fire on the show, and Lara Trump is like

428
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:31.640
<v Speaker 1>laughing at this. And I think about things like this.

429
00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.799
<v Speaker 1>I think about the fact that Donald Trump and MAGA

430
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.160
<v Speaker 1>has changed the national anthem, like the fact that, you know,

431
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>we talked about the media gas lighting before, Like the

432
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:45.640
<v Speaker 1>fact that, look, I represented Colin Kaepernick right in twenty

433
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.640
<v Speaker 1>sixteen and twenty seventeen, when all of the media was

434
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to say, oh, it's such a disrespectful thing to

435
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.559
<v Speaker 1>the national anthem. When Colin took a knee to peacefully

436
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:59.920
<v Speaker 1>protest police brutality, he stayed to himself. He didn't put

437
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>in people's faces. And for that, Colin was basically banned

438
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:06.440
<v Speaker 1>from the NFL and can never get a job, and

439
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:09.559
<v Speaker 1>all of the right wing media attempt him. And then

440
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>right now the magas the Republicans did a new national anthem.

441
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 1>They took our national anthem. They now call it I'm

442
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:21.000
<v Speaker 1>making this the j sixth anthem. They play the j

443
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 1>sixth anthem instead of the national anthem, which is sung

444
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:28.960
<v Speaker 1>by the most dangerous rioters. From January sixth, and then

445
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump praises them, calls them hostages, and says that

446
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.160
<v Speaker 1>he's going to free them and that they're patriots. Twenty

447
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.279
<v Speaker 1>seven of the twenty nine of them that are in

448
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the DC jail either assaulted or attempted to assault police officers.

449
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:49.240
<v Speaker 1>These are people who threw explosives at police officers, people

450
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.680
<v Speaker 1>who beat officer Sick Nick, who then later died after

451
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:57.440
<v Speaker 1>his injuries. They did a new national anthem. Lara Trump,

452
00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the head of the RNC, is going on shows where

453
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 1>they're burning baby dolls heads like what is going on here?

454
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 1>And that's to me where we talk to independence, we

455
00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.799
<v Speaker 1>talk to mainstream Republicans and we say, folks, we can

456
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.839
<v Speaker 1>agree to disagree on certain issues, but fundamentally, when it

457
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>comes to democracy and normalcy, we need to band together.

458
00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Right now, Coin, I want to get your reaction to that,

459
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:22.079
<v Speaker 1>but I want to remind everyone that we're doing something

460
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.480
<v Speaker 1>really special and really historic tonight. So at nine thirty

461

468

470

482
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Field of Greens is the healthiest thing I do every day,

483
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:42.400
<v Speaker 2>and I want you on this journey with me. It's

484
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:46.720
<v Speaker 2>literally one scoopid day and it tastes great. I personally

485
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:49.640
<v Speaker 2>like the wild berry flavor. In fact, I also like

486
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 2>the strawberry lemonade, and it's completely improved my life. This

487
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:59.640

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:05.160

490
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.880

491

550
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump starts talking about the windmills. And so for those

551
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:07.840
<v Speaker 1>who are just joining us, you know, we talked about

552
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, Donald Trump praising Alphonse Capoe and people like

553
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:14.280
<v Speaker 1>laughing at that. We showed the video of Donald Trump

554
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:18.679
<v Speaker 1>making more racist statements about New York Attorney General Letitia James.

555
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:21.719
<v Speaker 1>We then showed you that Lara Trump, the chair of

556
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the RNC, went on a right wing podcast where they

557
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 1>were laughing about burning a baby doll and kicking the

558
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.360
<v Speaker 1>baby and punting the baby and slamming the baby's head

559
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:35.599
<v Speaker 1>against the ground. And then Donald Trump is saying this

560
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:37.440
<v Speaker 1>about windmills. Let's play this clip.

561
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:39.760
<v Speaker 2>That group is radical left.

562
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:44.239
<v Speaker 3>They want windmills, they want all sorts of things that

563
00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:47.239
<v Speaker 3>are going to destroy our country and we're not going

564
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:47.840
<v Speaker 3>to allow it.

565
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:49.920
<v Speaker 1>What's going on?

566
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:53.559
<v Speaker 2>What is this again? I don't know the problem is

567
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:58.199
<v Speaker 2>that he's rambling. When he rambles, then there's no there's

568
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:02.519
<v Speaker 2>no way to understand actually what he's talking about. You know.

569
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:07.199
<v Speaker 2>The one thing he doesn't ramble about is the gas lighting,

570
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:12.199
<v Speaker 2>the blowing of the dog whistle to his MAGA supporters.

571
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:17.679
<v Speaker 2>In terms of coming after people like myself, like Stormy,

572
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:22.960
<v Speaker 2>like the DA, like the Attorney general, like the judges,

573
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:27.960
<v Speaker 2>like the judge's daughter, like the law clerk. I mean this.

574
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:31.320
<v Speaker 2>He knows what he's doing. And so many of you

575
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:36.039
<v Speaker 2>are so kind, so kind in terms of your comments.

576
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:40.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, yes, keep your chin up, stand tall, stand strong,

577
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 2>and so on. Let me be very clear about something,

578
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.800
<v Speaker 2>all right, And I've said this now for quite some time.

579
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:54.679
<v Speaker 2>My hope is that Judge Murshan does more to gag

580
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Donald from what he's doing right now. He's using Avenati

581
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:01.840
<v Speaker 2>to do it, he's using others to do it. He

582
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:06.519
<v Speaker 2>knows exactly what's going on, and he's doing it because

583
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:11.920
<v Speaker 2>it gins up this sort of energy. Right. Can you

584
00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:15.239
<v Speaker 2>imagine this here? I did nothing wrong in the horse

585
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:18.159
<v Speaker 2>face case. I see she showed up in New York

586
00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:21.800
<v Speaker 2>today trying to drum up some publicity for herself. Yeah,

587
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:24.559
<v Speaker 2>says the guy who thinks he's missed a publicity. I

588
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:27.320
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen her spoke into her since I took a

589
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.239
<v Speaker 2>picture with her on a golf course in full golf

590
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:34.280
<v Speaker 2>gear including a hat close to eighteen years ago. Did

591
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:39.079
<v Speaker 2>you imagine including a hat? She knows nothing about me, well,

592
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.760
<v Speaker 2>so much to that other than her con man lawyer Avanadi.

593
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:45.800
<v Speaker 2>This is a guy who he's now praising and convicted

594
00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.920
<v Speaker 2>liar and fell in jailbird Michael Cohen may have schemed

595
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:55.280
<v Speaker 2>up this is what caused aon or oan, I should say,

596
00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:58.920
<v Speaker 2>to start writing up that stupid story about me and

597
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.239
<v Speaker 2>Stormy scheming this up. And it was really me who

598
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:06.280
<v Speaker 2>had the affair with Stormy Daniels. But Donald, being the

599
00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:09.440
<v Speaker 2>good guy that he is, gave me one hundred and

600
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:12.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty thousand dollars to pay her to keep her silence

601
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:16.159
<v Speaker 2>because he didn't want it to affect my wife and

602
00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:20.360
<v Speaker 2>my life. He's so good. Let me tell you this

603
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:25.360
<v Speaker 2>is not easy, and I know most of you understand this,

604
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:30.199
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not sure you understand exactly how difficult that

605
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:34.679
<v Speaker 2>this is on the witnesses. I am not the defendant

606
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:38.679
<v Speaker 2>in this case, all right. I am a non party

607
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:44.000
<v Speaker 2>subpoenad witness to this case, and I think it's incumbent

608
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:48.639
<v Speaker 2>upon the DA and the prosecutors and the system to

609
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:53.360
<v Speaker 2>hold him or anyone accountable that attempts to interfere in

610
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:58.480
<v Speaker 2>a criminal trial in a proceeding, its obstruction of justice.

611
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.440
<v Speaker 2>It's witness tampering. The amount of hate that comes your

612
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:06.960
<v Speaker 2>way is more than any of you could possibly imagine.

613
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:12.960
<v Speaker 2>On top of that, the simple pressure of being a

614
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:18.920
<v Speaker 2>key witness in an unprecedented case against a former president

615
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:24.280
<v Speaker 2>of the United States, in the first criminal trial against

616
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:29.239
<v Speaker 2>a former president in America's history, and the amount of

617
00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:34.280
<v Speaker 2>phone calls that I get from media, from television, across

618
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:38.639
<v Speaker 2>the board. It is staggering and overwhelming. As I'm just

619
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:43.119
<v Speaker 2>trying to rebuild my own life, so you can imagine,

620
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:50.400
<v Speaker 2>it's like it's like exam week, right, and you have

621
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:56.119
<v Speaker 2>exam week every single day for months. It's like it's

622
00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:00.480
<v Speaker 2>just overwhelming to the point where you can't eat, so

623
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:02.760
<v Speaker 2>and so many of you turn around and say, you know,

624
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:07.119
<v Speaker 2>get some sleep, keep yourself strong, and so on. Sleep.

625
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:10.079
<v Speaker 2>You think that I'm not even dreaming about this shit

626
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:13.960
<v Speaker 2>in my sleep and eating it's I have. I've lost

627
00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:17.800
<v Speaker 2>my entire appetite I mean, you know, not to not

628
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:22.480
<v Speaker 2>to uh, you know, to divulge too much. I've lost

629
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:27.079
<v Speaker 2>over twenty three pounds since i started Political beat Down

630
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:31.440
<v Speaker 2>with you, Ben. It is it's im. I'm not hungry

631
00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:35.280
<v Speaker 2>when I eat, I just I feel nauseous because there's

632
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:38.400
<v Speaker 2>not a minute that goes by that I'm not getting

633
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:42.000
<v Speaker 2>some sort of a phone call from somebody wanting to

634
00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:44.760
<v Speaker 2>ask me a question. In fact, even when we go

635
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:49.320
<v Speaker 2>out for dinners with friends, they're so interested in this case,

636
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:54.480
<v Speaker 2>as is everybody else. It's why Political Beatdown is the

637
00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:57.679
<v Speaker 2>number one It's the number one show Ben between you

638
00:42:57.800 --> 00:42:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and I on YouTube during the hour in the world

00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:03.599
<v Speaker 2>world because people want to hear, they want to know

640
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.599
<v Speaker 2>its stress is right, and it's so hard to get

641
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:09.599
<v Speaker 2>out for dinner with friends. All they want to talk

642
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:14.400
<v Speaker 2>about is this orange crusted shitted and it's like it's overwhelming.

643
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, can I just eat one meal in peace

644
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:21.679
<v Speaker 2>that I don't have to be thinking about the mandarin Mussolini.

645
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's why tonight on patreon dot com slash Political

646
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:30.360
<v Speaker 1>beat Down, We're not really gonna talk that much about

647
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:32.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. I want it to be more

648
00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.360
<v Speaker 1>like a fun as much as we can have fun

649
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:38.039
<v Speaker 1>thirty minutes where we could talk about I don't know.

650
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I want people to ask questions. The way I'm going

651
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:43.079
<v Speaker 1>to try to structure it is ask questions about like

652
00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:47.800
<v Speaker 1>your hobbies, movies coming out. I could talk about my

653
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:50.519
<v Speaker 1>wedding coming up. I'm not sure that's why they're gonna

654
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:54.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about We'll talk We'll talk about things like that.

655
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:56.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of the things when you study though

656
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump's pathology the way you and I do, and also

657
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.719
<v Speaker 1>you know from our various backgrounds and experiences, you know

658
00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:07.360
<v Speaker 1>where you know I've worked with SPACs before. You know,

659
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I've worked with companies trying to go public via this

660
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.000
<v Speaker 1>spack route. I've worked with companies that raise money, you know,

661
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:18.800
<v Speaker 1>in my prior life as a lawyer before being run

662
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:21.079
<v Speaker 1>in this network. You know exactly.

663
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:21.280
<v Speaker 2>You know.

664
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So you and I knew two years ago when this

665
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:28.079
<v Speaker 1>Trump media thing was announced and this SPAC was announced

666
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that this was a mean stock and very problematic. And

667
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:38.800
<v Speaker 1>knowing Trump's pathology too, he doesn't stop until he literally

668
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:42.400
<v Speaker 1>goes bankrupt or is convicted or found liable, and then

669
00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:46.199
<v Speaker 1>he whinds about it and what made this one particularly

670
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:49.360
<v Speaker 1>dangerous and mischievous. Though, also is that you and I

671
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:52.639
<v Speaker 1>knew how much this was going to harm the regular

672
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:56.119
<v Speaker 1>retail investor who doesn't know a lot about stocks and

673
00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:59.840
<v Speaker 1>puts their life savings into Trump media because it's being

674
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:02.280
<v Speaker 1>hyped and kind of pumped up in a way, also

675
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:06.000
<v Speaker 1>being pumped up by legacy media that doesn't understand the

676
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:09.079
<v Speaker 1>way the stock market works. And go back to videos

677
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:13.000
<v Speaker 1>two years ago, you and I were predicting almost to

678
00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:16.239
<v Speaker 1>the dollar amounts the types of drops that are going

679
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.079
<v Speaker 1>to happen right now. And so today the stock dropped

680
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:24.039
<v Speaker 1>to about thirty two dollars. I mean it's it's continues

681
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:27.239
<v Speaker 1>to go down by significant amounts every day. It dropped

682
00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:31.559
<v Speaker 1>another five percent today. There was another report today about

683
00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:34.760
<v Speaker 1>you know how like everybody's suing everybody. The co founders

684
00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:37.039
<v Speaker 1>are suing Trump say he's trying to take their eight

685
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:40.239
<v Speaker 1>point seven percent. Trump's suing the co founders. The person

686
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:43.280
<v Speaker 1>who started the spack is suing Donald Trump. One of

687
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the new headlines today is a Trump media director is

688
00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:52.519
<v Speaker 1>being accused of quote hacking files in attempted corporate coup

689
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:57.599
<v Speaker 1>DETA lawsuit alleges investment firms led by the former CEO

690
00:45:57.719 --> 00:46:01.039
<v Speaker 1>of the Trump spack that merged with Ronald Trump's media

691
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:05.400
<v Speaker 1>company alleged that their files were hacked and stolen by

692
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a current member of the media company's board of directors.

693
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:12.800
<v Speaker 1>And it goes on to talk about how in this lawsuit,

694
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:17.159
<v Speaker 1>the firm that started the spack is accusing a board

695
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:21.320
<v Speaker 1>member named Eric Swider of plotting a coup in early

696
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:25.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three to replace Patrick Orlando as the CEO

697
00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:29.320
<v Speaker 1>of the Trump Spack. Earlier this week, we got this

698
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:35.000
<v Speaker 1>headline from the Financial Times, the Trump Media's independent auditor,

699
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:39.880
<v Speaker 1>BF borgers this guy from Colorado who has this office

700
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:41.800
<v Speaker 1>in Colorado that I think you said looked like a

701
00:46:41.880 --> 00:46:46.239
<v Speaker 1>rest stop. It turns out that this auditor and I

702
00:46:46.400 --> 00:46:48.800
<v Speaker 1>was so surprised that like this. I was like, this

703
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:50.800
<v Speaker 1>is not one of the Big four. This is supposed

704
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:54.079
<v Speaker 1>to be a company of some size, Like, how do

705
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you have this guy as your auditor? But we're learning

706
00:46:56.320 --> 00:47:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that this orditor got a one hundred percent deficiency rating

707
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.719
<v Speaker 1>by the PCAOB which is the regulator that the audits

708
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:10.239
<v Speaker 1>auditor that audits the auditors in public spaces, and found

709
00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:13.079
<v Speaker 1>that twenty one of the twenty one files were deficient.

710
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Then you just take a look at the finances of

711
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.480
<v Speaker 1>this entity of Trump Media losing fifty eight million dollars

712
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.800
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty three making only four point one million

713
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:26.920
<v Speaker 1>dollars in revenue. So you know, remove all of the

714
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:31.639
<v Speaker 1>politics and political parties and New York Attorney General Letitia James,

715
00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:35.000
<v Speaker 1>this and special counsel Jack Smith like like this was

716
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:38.480
<v Speaker 1>this was a new entity that Trump created in Cohen.

717
00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:47.079
<v Speaker 1>It follows the Trump playbook two at lawsuits, accusations of coups, incompetence,

718
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:51.760
<v Speaker 1>ethical collapses, and worse. We're seeing it all unfold and

719
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:52.360
<v Speaker 1>we are.

720
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Now also seeing more than fifty percent of the value, which,

721
00:47:57.679 --> 00:47:59.840
<v Speaker 2>by the way, as we've talked about on this show,

722
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:05.159
<v Speaker 2>Gators is over inflated by a multiple that I can't

723
00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:09.840
<v Speaker 2>even think of. They've lost more than fifty percent of

724
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:14.079
<v Speaker 2>that value in just two weeks. I mean, that's just

725
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:18.239
<v Speaker 2>another phenomenal scenario. Not to mention that this guy Borger,

726
00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:23.119
<v Speaker 2>I think he got his CPA degree from Trump University.

727
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:28.239
<v Speaker 2>So what do you expect one hundred percent deficient? I mean,

728
00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:32.239
<v Speaker 2>think about that before you go ahead and you invest

729
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:35.039
<v Speaker 2>your money in a company that the guy who is

730
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:39.360
<v Speaker 2>doing the auditing on your company is considered one hundred

731
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:44.599
<v Speaker 2>percent deficient by the agency that's supposed to rate individual

732
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:48.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's fantastic. The story in and of

733
00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:54.280
<v Speaker 2>itself is fantastic that somebody with this, with these credentials

734
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:58.360
<v Speaker 2>or lack thereof, is in charge of an eight billion

735
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:02.880
<v Speaker 2>dollar you know, pumpin' trump you know type of stock.

736
00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm blown away by it, just like you could you

737
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:09.920
<v Speaker 2>imagine at one point in time that this stock was

738
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:14.480
<v Speaker 2>over one hundred dollars. It was like one one seventy

739
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:17.639
<v Speaker 2>eight or one forty eight, something like that, and then

740
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:20.360
<v Speaker 2>on the opening of the bell, it was like eighty

741
00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:24.000
<v Speaker 2>something dollars, and now it's thirty two forty one, down

742
00:49:24.119 --> 00:49:29.159
<v Speaker 2>over fifty over fifty some odd percent since going public.

743
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:34.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that is what's called a spectacular death spiral.

744
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I forgot to mention also in giving the

745
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:41.079
<v Speaker 1>rundown of everything that's happened with this stock, that the

746
00:49:41.880 --> 00:49:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Schwarzman brothers, who are initial directors in the Trump spack

747
00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:52.199
<v Speaker 1>have pled guilty to criminal inside trading and can face

748
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:55.519
<v Speaker 1>up to twenty years for making more than twenty or

749
00:49:55.599 --> 00:50:00.039
<v Speaker 1>thirty million dollars from trading on inside information when the

750
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:03.800
<v Speaker 1>spack was first announced, and they're guilty plea took place

751
00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:06.000
<v Speaker 1>in the past few weeks. I also want to show

752
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:09.840
<v Speaker 1>you what Donald Trump's been doing lately. After he issued

753
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:14.800
<v Speaker 1>his statement on women's reproductive rights and after he took

754
00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:18.360
<v Speaker 1>them away, he issued the statement saying that all of

755
00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:23.679
<v Speaker 1>those state bands should remain in place. And here Donald Trump,

756
00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:27.280
<v Speaker 1>in this interview in Atlanta, Georgia, says that he was

757
00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:31.320
<v Speaker 1>okay with throwing doctors in prison if there are state

758
00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:35.880
<v Speaker 1>laws that prevent doctors from providing women with reproductive care. Here,

759
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:39.519
<v Speaker 1>let's play this clip of that Trump wants to throw

760
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:41.159
<v Speaker 1>doctors in prison. Let's play the clip.

761
00:50:41.559 --> 00:50:44.199
<v Speaker 4>Christin you answered some questions about abortion, but do you

762
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:48.400
<v Speaker 4>think a doctor should be punished who will perform abortions?

763
00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:51.480
<v Speaker 5>I'd let that be to the states. You know, everything

764
00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:54.440
<v Speaker 5>we're doing now with states and states rights, and what

765
00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:56.599
<v Speaker 5>we wanted to do is get it back to the states,

766
00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:59.199
<v Speaker 5>because for fifty three years it's been a fight, and

767
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:01.480
<v Speaker 5>now the states handling it, and some have handled it

768
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:03.599
<v Speaker 5>very well, and the others will end up handling it

769
00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:04.119
<v Speaker 5>very well.

770
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:06.400
<v Speaker 3>And those are the things that states are going to

771
00:51:06.760 --> 00:51:08.039
<v Speaker 3>make a determination about.

772
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Horrific, horrific stuff right there. And then while he's getting

773
00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:19.519
<v Speaker 1>on the tarmac in Atlanta, he says that any Jewish

774
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:24.400
<v Speaker 1>American who doesn't support him hates their religion. Let's play

775
00:51:24.440 --> 00:51:25.519
<v Speaker 1>this clip, and.

776
00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:28.679
<v Speaker 5>Any Jewish person that votes for a Democrat or votes

777
00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:30.400
<v Speaker 5>of viden to have their head.

778
00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Examine what you want to comment on that?

779
00:51:33.800 --> 00:51:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Coe, Look, what is there to comment on? First of all,

780
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:42.159
<v Speaker 2>before you turn around and you question somebody else's, you know,

781
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:47.400
<v Speaker 2>religious convictions, and you know, he has to have religious

782
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:52.280
<v Speaker 2>conviction of his own, and creating the trumpy Bible does

783
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:55.679
<v Speaker 2>not make him a good Christian. I can tell you

784
00:51:56.039 --> 00:52:00.199
<v Speaker 2>that in the twelve years that we were together the

785
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Trump Organization, I cannot remember, not once that Donald Trump

786
00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:12.840
<v Speaker 2>went to church, not once. You know, it's he does

787
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:17.280
<v Speaker 2>not have religious convictions. And for him to make a

788
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:22.239
<v Speaker 2>statement like that, it's not just stupid, it's insulting. And

789
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:28.239
<v Speaker 2>yet there are so many Jewish billionaires that are supporting him.

790
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand what they're doing. I don't understand what

791
00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:34.559
<v Speaker 2>they're thinking. They make me nauseous, to be honest with you,

792
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:38.199
<v Speaker 2>kissing this guy's ass for what so that they could

793
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:41.360
<v Speaker 2>end up buying another airplane that they need another one

794
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:45.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand square foot home in another sort of desolate area.

795
00:52:46.639 --> 00:52:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it is insulting, and I don't understand why

796
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:53.079
<v Speaker 2>they're doing it. I don't understand why they're willing to

797
00:52:53.400 --> 00:53:00.960
<v Speaker 2>trade America's democracy for a Trump autocracy thinking that there's

798
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:03.280
<v Speaker 2>some way in the world that they will be able

799
00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:07.159
<v Speaker 2>to benefit from it. And that's really sick, especially when

800
00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:12.280
<v Speaker 2>America has given them so much. They're great, great great

801
00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:16.480
<v Speaker 2>great great grandchildren will never ever have to work a

802
00:53:16.679 --> 00:53:20.000
<v Speaker 2>single day in their lives, that's how much money some

803
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:23.559
<v Speaker 2>of these fuckers have, and yet they're willing to put

804
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:29.400
<v Speaker 2>our democracy in jeopardy for the almighty dollar. Shame on them,

805
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:34.000
<v Speaker 2>because look, I'm all for capitalism, I'm all for making money.

806
00:53:34.119 --> 00:53:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm all for doing the best that you can do,

807
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I really am, but not at the expense of America's democracy,

808
00:53:42.119 --> 00:53:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and especially not putting it in the hands of somebody

809
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:49.400
<v Speaker 2>like Trump and his acolytes that are following him. No way.

810
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:50.159
<v Speaker 2>You know.

811
00:53:50.239 --> 00:53:54.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't love covering Poles, but because the media wants

812
00:53:54.199 --> 00:53:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to put out all these false narratives on polling, it's

813
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.320
<v Speaker 1>worth pushing back on that. That mostly all all of

814
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the national averages right now have President Biden in the lead,

815
00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:09.000
<v Speaker 1>some by smaller margins than others, but there seems to

816
00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:12.480
<v Speaker 1>be a big shift that has been taking place and

817
00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:16.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot of momentum going to President Biden. Also, a

818
00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:20.039
<v Speaker 1>recent Pew Research poll that shows a lot of the

819
00:54:20.199 --> 00:54:23.719
<v Speaker 1>and they're known for being the gold standard and demographic trends,

820
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:29.199
<v Speaker 1>actually shows that young voters and black voters and Hispanic

821
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:33.519
<v Speaker 1>voters are still supportive of the Democratic Party in President

822
00:54:33.599 --> 00:54:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Biden at around if not more, the same percentages from

823
00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:41.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty to twenty sixteen, despite all of those prior

824
00:54:41.719 --> 00:54:46.719
<v Speaker 1>bad polls trying to suggest the opposite. And you know what, ultimately,

825
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:55.320
<v Speaker 1>for me, what I think we're seeing too is mainstream Republicans, independents, liberals, progressives,

826
00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:58.840
<v Speaker 1>people who don't even know what they are politically, but

827
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:02.800
<v Speaker 1>know that Donald Trump discuss them just kind of joining together.

828
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:05.199
<v Speaker 2>And if I can just add to that the one

829
00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:10.199
<v Speaker 2>quick second here, did you also see the IPSOS Reuter's poll.

830
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think that's a better understanding of exactly

831
00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:17.239
<v Speaker 2>what's going on here. You see, as a result of

832
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:22.159
<v Speaker 2>this case, this upcoming trial, one that Donald wasn't even

833
00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:25.760
<v Speaker 2>really thinking about, because the idiots that are around him

834
00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:30.599
<v Speaker 2>are telling him how inconsequential it is. And you know

835
00:55:30.960 --> 00:55:33.320
<v Speaker 2>why they said it to him. I don't know the answer.

836
00:55:33.559 --> 00:55:38.519
<v Speaker 2>He's got such bad advice around him. The IPSOS Reuter's

837
00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:42.639
<v Speaker 2>poll has Biden beating Trump in the general election thirty

838
00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:48.079
<v Speaker 2>eight to forty one percent, whereas before before, and I'm

839
00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:52.119
<v Speaker 2>talking about just a couple of months ago January, they

840
00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:57.360
<v Speaker 2>had Trump ahead forty three to thirty seven. So you're

841
00:55:57.360 --> 00:56:00.360
<v Speaker 2>talking about like a nine point swing. And I think

842
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:03.119
<v Speaker 2>it's extremely important here. I'll show it to you in

843
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:07.599
<v Speaker 2>case we don't have it. The importance of this is

844
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:13.519
<v Speaker 2>to show you that the wacky shit that Trump and

845
00:56:13.639 --> 00:56:18.480
<v Speaker 2>his people are doing it is being noticed by the

846
00:56:18.599 --> 00:56:24.719
<v Speaker 2>American people. And as more and more months go and

847
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:28.880
<v Speaker 2>we get closer to the November election date, and you

848
00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:34.679
<v Speaker 2>see Donald unhinged more and more saying these wacky, stupid things,

849
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:38.920
<v Speaker 2>taking credit for things like the overturning of Roe V. Wade,

850
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:44.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about the nonsense that he's talking about, attacking Jews

851
00:56:44.960 --> 00:56:48.719
<v Speaker 2>who want to vote for a Democrat. None of this

852
00:56:48.920 --> 00:56:53.360
<v Speaker 2>is going to benefit him. Talking about how Blacks appreciate

853
00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and like him because he's been indicted again. Insulting, racist,

854
00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:03.079
<v Speaker 2>the fact that blacks, especially black males, like him because

855
00:57:03.079 --> 00:57:08.039
<v Speaker 2>he's in the sneaker business, racist, insulting. I mean, these

856
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:10.960
<v Speaker 2>are the stupid things that this guy is saying. He's

857
00:57:11.039 --> 00:57:13.719
<v Speaker 2>so nervous, he doesn't know what to do or what

858
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to say. He thinks he's reading the womb. But it's

859
00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:21.039
<v Speaker 2>not happening anymore. He's lost that, he's lost this edge.

860
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:24.719
<v Speaker 2>And as long as Biden and his team continue to

861
00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:29.639
<v Speaker 2>do what they're doing, be reasonable, talk about things that

862
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:33.880
<v Speaker 2>need to be done. This one, this Arizona Supreme Court,

863
00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:38.119
<v Speaker 2>they're going back to eighteen sixty four, that's before the

864
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Civil War, that they're going to bring women's rights back

865
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:46.280
<v Speaker 2>to eighteen sixty four. And this ass clown is sitting

866
00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:51.840
<v Speaker 2>there talking about, right, how Biden did this that it's

867
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:56.559
<v Speaker 2>amazing to me. I just don't understand. It's about states' rights.

868
00:57:57.119 --> 00:58:00.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he has no idea what he's talking about. Yeah,

869
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:04.119
<v Speaker 2>bye bye Trump. He has lost it and America is

870
00:58:04.280 --> 00:58:08.119
<v Speaker 2>now seeing it firsthand. So you know what, while I'm

871
00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:12.079
<v Speaker 2>at it and I'm on this little tirade, two fingers

872
00:58:12.119 --> 00:58:14.960
<v Speaker 2>salute to you again. Donald. All right, back at you

873
00:58:15.119 --> 00:58:17.480
<v Speaker 2>for two weeks and for two episodes in a row,

874
00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Can I fuck you? It's enough? For ready? All right,

875
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:24.920
<v Speaker 2>it's absolutely enough. I want to just say one last

876
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:27.119
<v Speaker 2>thing and I'm going to ask you to close down

877
00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:32.679
<v Speaker 2>the show. When you talk about these polls and why

878
00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Biden is now increasing Trump is decreasing. A lot of

879
00:58:39.519 --> 00:58:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the credit has to go to like Midas Touch Network,

880
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:46.559
<v Speaker 2>to go to you, to Brett, to Jordi, to all

881
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:50.920
<v Speaker 2>of the personalities that you have on the various Midas

882
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Touch Network programs like Maya Kulpa, like Political Beatdown, like

883
00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Legal af the you know, the Uh, the Midas Brough,

884
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:03.760
<v Speaker 2>the Mizell Brothers and so on. It really is important

885
00:59:03.840 --> 00:59:10.119
<v Speaker 2>because between all of our various podcasts and programs. As

886
00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:15.039
<v Speaker 2>an example, Maya Kulpa turned over three hundred million downloads

887
00:59:15.239 --> 00:59:18.239
<v Speaker 2>since starting. Thank you for that all, right, over three

888
00:59:18.360 --> 00:59:25.199
<v Speaker 2>hundred million downloads. People are beginning to listen. They're beginning

889
00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:31.440
<v Speaker 2>to understand that we are providing them with truth. We're

890
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:36.000
<v Speaker 2>providing them with facts, no innuendo, there's no spin. You

891
00:59:36.199 --> 00:59:38.480
<v Speaker 2>take it the way you want to take it. We're

892
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:43.519
<v Speaker 2>not here like vot does Oraan or Newsmax to guide you.

893
00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:48.599
<v Speaker 2>We're basically providing you with information. Yeah, much of it

894
00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:52.239
<v Speaker 2>has to do with our interpretation of it. But the

895
00:59:52.440 --> 00:59:55.760
<v Speaker 2>facts are the facts. We don't skew them. We give

896
00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:59.679
<v Speaker 2>it to you. Look, I'm not telling you that Biden

897
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.840
<v Speaker 2>is up by ten points, that there's no chance for

898
01:00:03.280 --> 01:00:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Trump to pull a Hail Mary, none of that. I'm

899
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:11.199
<v Speaker 2>giving you the facts that he is now beating Trump

900
01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>in the general election by the IPSOS Reuters poll by

901
01:00:16.159 --> 01:00:20.760
<v Speaker 2>four points, which is an eleven point swing since January.

902
01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>That's not my opinion. That is fact, and that's all

903
01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:31.119
<v Speaker 2>that this network. That's all that maya kulpa political beatdown,

904
01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:34.199
<v Speaker 2>that's all that we end up wanting to do. And

905
01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:37.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of this really needs to go again to

906
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>the to the Midas Touch Network, to other you know,

907
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:45.480
<v Speaker 2>organizations that are doing the same thing, the same good

908
01:00:45.599 --> 01:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>work that we're doing, you know.

909
01:00:47.559 --> 01:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>And look, when you give the credit to the Midas

910
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Touch Network, well I'm appreciative, but both you and I

911
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:57.599
<v Speaker 1>also know that this network is community driven. It's the

912
01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>beatdown Brigaders, it's the Midas m it's the legal afforts,

913
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>it's all of us uniting. And we may be on

914
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:10.639
<v Speaker 1>different sides of the traditional political spectrum right, progressive, liberal

915
01:01:11.159 --> 01:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>versus conservative, mainstream, republican, independent, whatever. We've been able to

916
01:01:16.599 --> 01:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>join together out of this value set for the love

917
01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:25.599
<v Speaker 1>of our democracy, for decency, for normalcy. When I embarked

918
01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>on this journey of politics, I don't really felt I

919
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't really feel all that political. So at first I thought, well,

920
01:01:33.000 --> 01:01:35.639
<v Speaker 1>I must have to choose a team, I have to

921
01:01:35.760 --> 01:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>choose a tribe, and then I have to dislike the

922
01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:42.199
<v Speaker 1>other tribe just because. But what I learned over time

923
01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>is that what was most important about this all were

924
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>the principles, was the value set. Was talking about freedom,

925
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>was talking about pro democracy, was leading with empathy and

926
01:01:55.199 --> 01:01:59.079
<v Speaker 1>understanding and love and trying to be caring and having

927
01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:04.480
<v Speaker 1>flaws and being vulnerable and having this experience with everybody,

928
01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and then understanding the threat posed by MAGA and how

929
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:11.920
<v Speaker 1>it's not normal what's happening there, and how it's so

930
01:02:12.239 --> 01:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>dangerous to our country, and then leading with the values

931
01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>as a community. And then if the politicians or the

932
01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>politics want to align and meet those fundamental values and principles,

933
01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that's great. But that to me is how this community

934
01:02:29.360 --> 01:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>has been so empowered because we've led with those traits

935
01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think that's really been done before in

936
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>a way that this community has been able to bring

937
01:02:41.079 --> 01:02:44.199
<v Speaker 1>that together, and Michael Cohen, you're a major part of that.

938
01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:46.719
