1
00:00:01,679 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to Political Beatdown. I'm been mysellis joined by my

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,800
co host Michael Cohen. A busy week indeed in Manhattan.

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:17,000
The Trump criminal trial is now on day six. Opening

4
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,160
statements were completed yesterday. The first witness has been testifying,

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,239
that is David Pecker, and he gave some bombshell explosive

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,399
testimony early in the day. Each day of the Trump

7
00:00:31,519 --> 00:00:34,679
trial at the Midas Touch Network, when I do the

8
00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:39,880
recaps with Karen Friedman Agnifilo, we create these scorecards just

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,079
to recap everything that happens each day. I'm a visual learner,

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,679
so we'll go over some of the events that have

11
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:52,920
transpired thus far in the criminal proceedings of Donald Trump.

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,280
There was also a contempt hearing regarding Donald Trump's threats

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,320
and intimidation of witnesses, one of which Michael Cohen, as

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,760
well as Donald Trump's statements about jurors. Also, they even

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,400
had in District Attorney's office stated they would be bringing

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:14,719
another application for a contempt against Donald Trump based on

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,640
even more recent statements that he's made. Each and every day,

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,239
Donald Trump exits the courtroom and makes some inflammatory statements

19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,920
and he takes with him these articles that He has

20
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,280
somebody who's on his payroll. Her name is Natalie Harp,

21
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,359
and she prints out these articles for him from right

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,640
wing media that he believes are flattering, and he just

23
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,879
goes through these articles with the presses like you see

24
00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:43,879
these articles. You see these articles. I mean, his team's

25
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,959
quite literally making a picture book for him. I want

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,120
to talk about that. There's also some news in the

27
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:55,120
House of Representatives and the Senate pushing through the aid package,

28
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,959
particularly to Ukraine that Maga Republicans had been trying to block.

29
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:05,719
We'll talk about that. Donald Trump's been whining about having

30
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:10,560
absolute presidential immunity to order Seal Team six to kill

31
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,599
his political opponents and to kill his enemies. That oral

32
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,960
argument before the Supreme Court is this week, and Donald

33
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,879
Trump just keeps posting, posting, posting, post after post after post.

34
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,840
We'll talk about that and more here on Political Beatdown.

35
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,759
You know, of course, we all know that Michael Cohen

36
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,000
is a witness in the Manhattan District Attorney criminal case.

37
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:34,560
So we're going to be careful. There are some things,

38
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:39,000
of course, that Cohen can't talk about, and we're going

39
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:45,199
to respect those boundaries. My dogs may not respect those boundaries.

40
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,960
But I will respect those boundaries. You never know about

41
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,479
Shaquito right there. But Michael Cohen, I guess first and

42
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,639
foremost before getting into really anything, I just want to know,

43
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,879
how are you feeling right now? How are you doing?

44
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: So? Actually, today I did something that I've been putting

45
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:07,879
off for a while, something that we've talked about here

46
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,240
with the brigaders. I actually did go to the doctor

47
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:18,240
for a full physical cardiac workup waiting for of course,

48
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,319
the results would have liked the distolic and the blood

49
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,879
pressure to have been a little lower, especially considering that

50
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,240
I am on this freaking medication, you know, should it

51
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,159
should really have been a little lower. But then again,

52
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,439
as the doctor said to me, if I was under

53
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:42,120
the stress that you're under, he goes, mine would probably

54
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:45,639
be twice that. And he's in He's at least ten

55
00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:48,520
years older than I, and he's in the greatest shape

56
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,599
of anybody you know that's over sixty five years of age.

57
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:56,400
I mean it looks like he's forty. I hate the guy,

58
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,639
you know, In fact, I love him. He's been my

59
00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:02,719
doctor for like twenty five years, major you know, doctor

60
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:06,280
here in the city. So you know, got to keep

61
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,159
my eyes on that waiting for some of the blood

62
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:13,240
results and so on to come back. You know, it

63
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,639
is what it is. You know, you want to hear

64
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,079
something funny, Ben, Yeah, I think you'll appreciate this. I

65
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,319
don't really want to watch too much of the news,

66
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,199
you know. Unfortunately what happens is a lot of the

67
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,439
journalists that are either there will be looking for some

68
00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:33,079
sort of a comment from me. Hey, did you hear

69
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,000
what David Pecker just said? He's corroborating the stuff that

70
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,800
you've been saying for six years. Okay, that's fantastic because

71
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,600
then I'll put out a short statement, you know, the truth.

72
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:46,800
As you know, Buddha always would say, you know, the

73
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,439
truth shall always rise. Or they'll call up and they'll say, hey,

74
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:54,399
you know Donald at the what is it the gag

75
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,000
order hearing their shit and all over you and Mashan

76
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,800
lost his shit on top Blanche, you know, saying that

77
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,040
you're losing all credibility and so on. That's not a

78
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,439
surprise to me, Todd Blanche who and again I've heard

79
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,040
this from a couple of friends of mine who are

80
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:14,879
criminal defense attorneys. The guy actually had a pretty good

81
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,240
reputation in the industry, that's pretty much shot to shit.

82
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,240
So unless the guy, unless Trump wins and Trump makes

83
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,160
him attorney general. Boy, did he kind of screw the

84
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:29,279
pooch on, you know, on this move because he's making

85
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,439
a complete and total asshole out of himself. Then of

86
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,600
course you can't help yourself. As you're flipping through all

87
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,439
of a sudden, it's like there's the photo of you,

88
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:44,199
whether it's on like Fox A, CNN or MSNBC. So

89
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:47,319
you watch it for a minute or two, and you

90
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,040
know they're basically talking about my credibility, and you know

91
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:57,279
how it's gonna be a bloodbath when Blancha Susan Neckley's decide.

92
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,519
This is actually what came out as the gig order today.

93
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:04,560
They wanted to know how come Michael Cohen can say

94
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:08,319
whatever he wants about Donald Trump, but Donald Trump can't

95
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,680
say what he wants. And I put out this tweet,

96
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:14,279
Hey von schitzen pants, there were attacks of me, stink

97
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:17,959
of desperation. We are all hoping that you take the

98
00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:21,800
stand in your defense. And they actually printed this out

99
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,720
and they supposedly showed it to Murshon, and Marshon kind

100
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,480
of reminded them and again, this is kind of like

101
00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:31,680
what bothers me about media, not what you get here

102
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:34,319
on the Midas Touch Network. I've said this a thousand

103
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,759
times and I believe that it's worth repeating. There's no

104
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,360
innuendo here. It's factual. Now it may be you know,

105
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,480
my facts which happened to be legitimate, but we talk truth.

106
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,480
So here they keep saying, oh, well, Michael's credibility is

107
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:54,800
going to be attacked, and you know, and he, you know,

108
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:58,639
Cohen should keep his mouth shut, and he shouldn't do podcasts,

109
00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:02,399
he shouldn't talk to you know, media, he shouldn't do anything. First,

110
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,480
I'm not doing any media appearances. But the interesting thing,

111
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,360
and I keep trying to say this to everybody, I

112
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,360
want to be real clear about this. Michael Cohen is

113
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:17,439
not a defendant in this case. I am a non

114
00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:22,519
party subpoenad witness. And if they think that me saying

115
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:25,920
the truth, which I've been saying the same thing for

116
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,800
six years, or having you know, this sort of event

117
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,439
with our brigaders, well then just don't call me as

118
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,079
a witness. I'm fine with that because I think that,

119
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:40,079
as I said on the Weekend with Michael Steele and

120
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:46,319
Alicia Menendez and Simone Sanders. I believe that every single

121
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,800
witness is a key witness. I hate when they call

122
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,800
me the key witness. All the witnesses are key witnesses.

123
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,800
I just happen to be the narrator of the story.

124
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,720
And then supposedly what you know, what Pecker basically did

125
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:09,480
is he's corroborated statements that I have been making again

126
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:14,800
for six years, for six years. And you know, right

127
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:19,040
now it was allegedly a very good day for the prosecutors,

128
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,839
a very bad day for Donald because again the nexus

129
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,759
is closing. Wait till the next witness comes. Let's just

130
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,600
say it's Hope Picks. What's she gonna do. She's gonna

131
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:34,159
tell the truth. She doesn't want to get a perjury charge,

132
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,679
I assure you. So she's gonna tell the truth. Which

133
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,799
is gonna do what Ben? It's gonna corroborate David's testimony,

134
00:08:42,879 --> 00:08:45,559
the testimony that I've been giving, and then the next

135
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,080
person will do it, next to next and next, until

136
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:52,159
ultimately when the prosecutors decide it's time for Michael going

137
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,399
to take this stand, and I will, and I will,

138
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,000
I'll take the stand and I'm gonna continue to tell

139
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:01,840
the same story again and again and again, which happens

140
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,799
to be a truthful story, plain and simple.

141
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: Cohen, do you have any sense when it is that

142
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:09,039
you're going to be testifying?

143
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,039
Speaker 2: No clue, no clue. It would be nice if they

144
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:15,399
would kind of, you know, tell you when you know

145
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:18,159
that you're going to be doing it. But for fear

146
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:23,279
of reprisal that that information got out by Trump and

147
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,559
his people, they're not telling anybody. In fact, something which

148
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:34,840
was very strange. They refused to allow Trump's legal team

149
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,759
to even know who was going first until maybe twelve

150
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:45,840
hours before the start, so that was sometime on Sunday night,

151
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:51,039
which I thought was interesting for obvious obvious reasons.

152
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:54,399
Speaker 1: You know, one of the interesting points that you made

153
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,960
in that statement that was posted is is that you know,

154
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,039
Donald Trump is not making an advice of counsel defense.

155
00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,840
If he made an advice of council defense to blame

156
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,360
his lawyers, and he had the opportunity to do that,

157
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,399
Trump would have to take the stand and he would

158
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,200
have to testify, and he would have to explain how

159
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,679
he was misled by his lawyers and what they told

160
00:10:17,799 --> 00:10:21,039
him that was unlawful, and how he materially relied on

161
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,240
that Donald Trump opted not to do that. It's unclear

162
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:29,120
if Donald Trump is going to testify, believe it or not.

163
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,759
My co host Karen Friedman Magniffolo that I do the

164
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:35,360
show with on Legal AF she thinks that there's a

165
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,399
chance that Trump's going to testify. I don't think that

166
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,120
there's any chance that Donald.

167
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: Trump test If you ever get my statement to the

168
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:45,480
guys again at the weekend, like ten days or so ago,

169
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:50,399
when I said, it's about the same chance that I'm

170
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,840
going to wake up tomorrow seven foot two playing center

171
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:58,799
for the New York Knicks. Donald Trump will never testify

172
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,960
because there's no benefit to him doing that other than

173
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,440
grabbing a perjury charge.

174
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: Well, and what I was talking and when I was

175
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,879
having that debate with Karen Friedman Magnifilo, I reminded her

176
00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:15,799
when he sued you for five hundred million dollars, he

177
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,799
was the plaintiff in this case in a federal courthouse

178
00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:22,200
in the Southern District of Florida. He made all of

179
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,080
these accusations against you, and all you did was say, Okay, well,

180
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,840
then why don't you sit for a deposition and you

181
00:11:29,879 --> 00:11:33,480
could answer questions from my legal counsel about all of

182
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:38,080
these accusations that you're making, because I, Michael Cohen, have

183
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:41,440
sat through many congressional hearings. I've given a lot of

184
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:44,440
testimony in my day to talk about all the things

185
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,240
that happened. If you're suing me Donald Trump for five

186
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,600
hundred million dollars, that, okay, why don't you testify under

187
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,720
penalty of perjury at a deposition. Then Donald Trump's lawyer said, Okay,

188
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:56,840
he's going to do it, but we have to reschedule it.

189
00:11:57,159 --> 00:11:59,519
And then as the day was approaching, they said, okay,

190
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:01,799
we need to re schedule it again. And then they

191
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,600
did that again, and then you went into court and

192
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,080
then they told the judge, okay, judge, he's really gonna

193
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,799
sit for a deposition. We promise you this is what's

194
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,799
going to happen. And then he didn't sit, and then

195
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:14,639
there was going to be a hearing, and then Donald

196
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,120
Trump dismissed the lawsuit that he had filed against you

197
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,840
and raised money off of, you know, attacking you, and

198
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,320
all you're saying, and all you've said, co In is look,

199
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:27,759
then just take the stand and tell your story. I

200
00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:30,080
think you and I have both said over and over

201
00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:33,480
again with a fair and impartial jury, they'll get to

202
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:36,600
hear the facts, they'll get to make the decisions. We

203
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,159
have great reverence and respect for our legal system. But

204
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:44,200
the problem that we see with Trump and his MAGA

205
00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:47,240
crew over and over again is that they use and

206
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,159
abuse the legal system. They attacked the system, they tried

207
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,360
to rip it from its seams, they tried to manipulate it.

208
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,919
And we saw that also in Donald Trump's baseless lawsuit

209
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,720
against you. Then dismissed the case without prejudice, right as

210
00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:06,159
he was going to be deposed, and then they kind

211
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,639
of just they run away. It's just the ultimate weakness, cowardice,

212
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,559
the gas lighting. And then he goes out there and Cohen.

213
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:19,559
He's got someone at court who comes with a portable printer.

214
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,600
It's her job. Her name is Natalie Harp, and she

215
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,200
prints articles that Donald Trump views as flattering. And then

216
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,919
he sits there with his sharpie and he removes portions

217
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,759
from these articles that's already being printed for him because

218
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:37,200
they believe it's flattering for him. He removes certain language

219
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,440
and then sometimes they post it on his social media platform.

220
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:45,320
And we've been covering on the Midas Touch network, like

221
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,200
I think in March it was twenty plus times where

222
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,000
he posted manipulated articles where he removed things that he

223
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:54,399
didn't like. And just the very fact that he's got

224
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:56,639
someone following a round with the portable printer like.

225
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: You know, what's truly amazing too. On that is, I've

226
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,159
heard from not even one source or two sources, but

227
00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:09,559
more than five sources, media sources that Trump's team have

228
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:15,919
been out there trying to push the narrative of all

229
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,960
of these documents that he's walking around. He walks out

230
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:25,919
into the hallway and he's playing with these documents and

231
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,559
they're pushing it and trying to get media outlets, legit

232
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,000
media outlets to cover the story of all of these articles.

233
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:39,639
And so they're probably written by Newsmax. Oh An, he

234
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:42,279
just keeps, you know, going on and on and on.

235
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,799
Speaker 3: He knows this is just it's just terrible. Yeah, what

236
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,000
they're doing. I should be in Florida, asual Georgia, and

237
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:53,480
I should be doing this and that it's it's so stupid,

238
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,240
you know, Ben, have you ever heard of the old

239
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,360
expression that you know, people used to use in law.

240
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:04,480
If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them

241
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,679
with your bullshit. That's exactly what's going on right now,

242
00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:11,159
at least that's the way that I'm seeing it.

243
00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:16,759
Speaker 2: It's so stupid. I so wish to God, right, so

244
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:19,720
there you go. I saw that somebody sent me that picture.

245
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:24,279
But I so wish to God that they would ask

246
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:30,720
the witnesses whether or not you would agree to be

247
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:37,080
videoed or to go live for this hearing, because you

248
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,840
know in New York they don't allow that. You know,

249
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,000
the cameras in the courtroom. But I don't understand if

250
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:46,960
I'm willing to have it live. Just blur out the jury,

251
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,559
Just blur them out. They can do that. Make sure

252
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,200
that the cameras do not take a picture of any

253
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,679
of the jurors. I would be fine. I swear I

254
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,720
would turn around right now and I would say absolutely,

255
00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:03,279
And why because I have been trying to get my

256
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,279
story out for sixty years. And thank God from Rashaan

257
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:10,200
saying to Todd Blanche and to Trump, what are you

258
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,039
talking about. He's not the defendant in this case. We

259
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,679
don't have a gag order on him, right or the witnesses.

260
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,559
Because I fall into the general category of witnesses. The

261
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,399
gag order is on him, and this piece of shit

262
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,440
comes straight out and he starts attacking me. Perj're a

263
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:34,159
liar that has to do with Medallion's. He doesn't even

264
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:37,360
know the fucking story, and what he's doing is he's

265
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,080
lying about it too. But I'm just trying to continue

266
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,399
to defend my name, my reputation, my honor. I allowed,

267
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:52,759
I allowed Donald Trump and his acolytes to disparage me

268
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,159
while I was the guy that was there on the

269
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,039
witness stand. And look the things that I pled to.

270
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,240
I have never fought with the underlying you know, with

271
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:06,359
the underlying charge. I do believe other things which I'm

272
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:10,079
certain is going to come out on cross examination, and

273
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,519
I'm so looking forward to it, right, And everybody's saying

274
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:15,680
to me, you just gotta, you know, keep you cool,

275
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,480
same way that I'm here with our brigaders. I'm going

276
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:22,599
to tell my story. I'm not going to be bullied.

277
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,000
That I can assure you. I'm going to tell my

278
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:33,160
story in my general manner. Oh be my myself, you know,

279
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,480
I just out of respect to the court and to

280
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:41,920
Judge Marshan into the jurors, my language will be stellar

281
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:45,680
that I can assure you, right, But I intend to

282
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,720
be exactly myself. I'm going to tell my story. And

283
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:54,680
the beauty about my story is it the foundation and

284
00:17:55,200 --> 00:18:00,559
the elements of my story are all true, and they're

285
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:04,799
all backed up by documents and corroborating testimony. Ben, how

286
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:07,640
many times on this program, how many times in our

287
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:11,640
private conversations have I told you the same thing? The

288
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,319
prosecutors are going to lay out a story via witnesses, testimony,

289
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:24,440
and documentary evidence that's going to corroborate the entire scenario.

290
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: Here, I want to share this with you. This was

291
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:34,200
moments ago Republican Senator Mitt Romney was asked about the proceedings,

292
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:37,680
and you know, it's always interesting when someone removed from it,

293
00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:41,799
someone like a Mitt Romney kind of reflects upon like

294
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,039
what's happening and the way he said it, I haven't

295
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:47,759
heard many other people say it in this way. So

296
00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:49,960
I just wanted to share this with you. This was

297
00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:53,640
moments ago Republican Senator Mitt Romney, who's also said he's

298
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,079
not supporting Donald Trump, to play this clip.

299
00:18:56,759 --> 00:18:59,559
Speaker 4: I think everybody has made their own assessment of President

300
00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:02,480
Trump's character, and so far as I know, you don't

301
00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:04,480
pay someone one hundred and thirty thousand dollars not to

302
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:05,200
have sex with you.

303
00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:12,799
Speaker 1: Wow, that was Republican Senator Mitt Romney.

304
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,559
Speaker 2: You know, let me show you this too, and photos

305
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:17,880
with me and may I gotta tell you remember you

306
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,559
and I actually maybe had had this conversation in the past.

307
00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:23,519
When I turn around, I told you I spent quite

308
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:27,359
a bit of time with Mitt and his family, you know,

309
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,680
his wife and some of his kids. And I told

310
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,640
you he actually has a very funny sense of humor,

311
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,640
and I think it was on full display right then

312
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,119
and there.

313
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: I'll show you this clip. Also, you saw the chiron

314
00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:46,519
before about President Biden being in Florida. Here was a

315
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:51,240
speech that President Biden gave in Tampa, and notable that

316
00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:55,559
President Biden is going to Tampa. You know, there are

317
00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:57,599
a lot of people, I know, smart people who were

318
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,240
following the polls, who actually believe that Florida could be

319
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,200
in play right now. But you've got Biden there in Tampa,

320
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,319
and here he is talking about how Donald Trump brags

321
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,440
about taking away women's reproductive rights. And then President Biden

322
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:17,000
takes a jab at Donald Trump for selling those very

323
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:19,839
sticky bibles. You know how Donald Trump is selling bibles

324
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,880
for fifty nine dollars and ninety nine cents, and just

325
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,640
take a look. Go what President Biden had the same

326
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,720
moments ago.

327
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 5: Trump bragged how proud he was, I have to get

328
00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:33,519
rid of Rover Wade over, so he took credit for it.

329
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: He said there.

330
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 5: Has to be punishment for women exercise in the reproductive freedom.

331
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,440
His words, not mine. He described the job's decision as

332
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,359
a miracle. Mayby's coming from that Bible he's trying to sell.

333
00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:53,039
Speaker 1: WHOA.

334
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 5: I almost wanted to buy one to see what the

335
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,440
hell's in.

336
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: It, folks.

337
00:20:59,839 --> 00:21:03,839
Speaker 4: No, it was a political deal to get rid of Rover,

338
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,079
a deal, political deal he made with the evangelical base

339
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,720
of the Republican Party to look past his moral if

340
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,839
they look past his moral and character flaws and exchange

341
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:18,920
for his commitment good point, Justice Spame Court would overturn Row.

342
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean I thought that was you know, I mean,

343
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,039
that's how she that's what you have to do, and that.

344
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: But how about Donald's statements about Joe Biden. You know,

345
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:34,519
I almost would ask you or the brigators if they

346
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:39,480
think that we should replay Joe Biden making those exact statements,

347
00:21:39,519 --> 00:21:43,000
because here's something that Trump on a regular Basis says

348
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,200
about Joe Biden that he can't put two sentences together,

349
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:52,400
that he has complete dementia, that he's you know, incapable

350
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,640
of running the country. Very funny because how many times

351
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,200
have we also said on this program about deflection. That's

352
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480
what Donald does when he's feeling something is going wrong,

353
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,240
especially like with himself. Did you see that there was

354
00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:09,279
one where he turned around he said that he's the

355
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,960
healthiest that you know, person ever running for office and

356
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,079
so on. Really serious, does anybody actually believe that? I mean,

357
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,160
it's like, why lie about that? Why just why do

358
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,759
you have to be the healthiest ever? Right? How about

359
00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:30,440
just say I'm healthy, I'm doing you know, I'm doing good.

360
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,400
You know I'm working on keeping my weight down, my

361
00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:37,599
cholesterol down, you know, my ticker is in good shape,

362
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,680
my brain is sharp. You could say stuff like that.

363
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:43,359
But you know, when you make these sort of assertions,

364
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,960
and he's so good at making these assertions, he is

365
00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:51,759
the healthiest person running for office ever, I don't think so.

366
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,680
Right on top of that, when he turns around and

367
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,559
he says that if he was president right now, there

368
00:22:58,599 --> 00:23:07,039
would be no Ukraine Russia conflict, Israel Kamas situation would

369
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:12,359
never have taken place. Obviously, Little Rocketman wouldn't be shooting

370
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,079
off missiles or doing any tests. Iran wouldn't be trying

371
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:21,160
to create more nuclear fusion material. YadA, YadA, YadA. Everything

372
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,200
with him is so, it's so, this finality in everything.

373
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,200
If if he was president, right, there would be no

374
00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:34,279
more world hunger, right, the waters would all be clean

375
00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:38,480
and every everything would be would be beautiful. And you know,

376
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,240
America would have the highest literacy rate in the world,

377
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,759
and we would have the you know, the greatest X,

378
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,920
Y and Z, and this conflict in the Middle East

379
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,720
would never have Everything would build, the wall, immigration would

380
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,079
be there, There would be zero fentanel coming to America.

381
00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:00,359
I mean, it's truly fantastical. He lives in his own world,

382
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,960
which is like this really weird sort of red, yellow, blue, green,

383
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,759
orange space that exists between his brain. None of us

384
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:11,680
could see it right between his ears. None of us

385
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,079
could see what's inside that brain, thank God. But only

386
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:20,200
he can. And somehow, somehow he has convinced a massive

387
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,240
swath of this country that the shit that he sees

388
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:30,480
in his own mind is actually real. It's real, and

389
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,720
they repeat it they regurgitate his stupidity over and over

390
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:38,680
and over again. It's really you got to give the

391
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,000
guy fucking credit for that.

392
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,279
Speaker 1: You know what's so interesting as you have David Pecker

393
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,039
on the stand talking about the efforts that Trump was

394
00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:52,559
doing to manipulate the press in connection with the twenty

395
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,119
sixteen election, that Donald Trump has someone printing out flattering

396
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,839
headlines that right wing media like bah and Newsmax is

397
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,519
doing for Donald Trump right now to also push those

398
00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:10,279
same messages like in real time, you have twenty sixteen

399
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,799
and twenty twenty four happening basically, you know, fused together

400
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,240
at the same time, you know, inside and outside the courtroom.

401
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,240
You know, then you have to your point donald Trump's

402
00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:29,200
projection and confession. Like when Donald Trump calls President Biden

403
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:34,119
sleepy Joe, sleepy Joe, sleepy Joe, it's just Donald Trump

404
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,599
talking about that there's a photo of you. I didn't

405
00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:38,200
even know that photo of you is going to show up.

406
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:43,279
It's all projection and confession. I mean, all we've heard

407
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,839
was that Donald Trump's having trouble staying awake in the courtroom.

408
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,200
He was described by Olivia Newsy as kind of being

409
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,640
like like looking like a trout like a fish like

410
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:59,559
with his mouth and having struggling to stay awake throughout

411
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:04,119
the person eats and Maggie Haberman reported how Donald Trump's

412
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,200
been like falling asleep during the proceedings, and so it

413
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,119
actually seems that the sleepy person who can't it's like

414
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,400
a weird nickname to make for someone like sleepy shoe.

415
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,599
Like nothing that President Biden has demonstrated is that he's

416
00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:17,359
you know, he's sleepy. I mean, if you want to.

417
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,319
Speaker 3: Say he's got opee shoe sleepy, show has no idea

418
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,519
what he's talking about.

419
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:26,519
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, Donald Trump's they're sleeping.

420
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 2: What's that.

421
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,039
Speaker 1: You remember this moment too, when it was an odd

422
00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:34,359
moment for Trump to say this, and he says this

423
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,599
in his speech before. Remember when he gave a speech

424
00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:42,519
and he said that people in Beverly Hills smell very bad.

425
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,640
And you know, based on and this is like a

426
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,920
major part of the speech, saying that you know, these

427
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:51,039
rich people in Beverly Hills, they're very stinky. You know,

428
00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:54,400
they smell really bad. And you know, one of the

429
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,680
things that Donald Trump always does is he's like he

430
00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:00,279
calls people ugly. He says that they smell horribly. He

431
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,119
calls them sleepy, and you know, I really wasn't sure

432
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,200
what to do with this data point Cohen and I

433
00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:08,880
reported on it and ended up going viral. Like I think

434
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,920
we've covered now on you know, when I do the

435
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,160
stuff with Karen Friedman Magnifilo where we do the recaps together,

436
00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:20,079
I don't even know, we probably have done thirty forty hours,

437
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,680
give or take of coverage. Maybe a little bit of less,

438
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,880
but we've done so many hours of coverage, especially when

439
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,839
you add the hot takes that I do kind of

440
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,119
separately on my own. And then there was just this

441
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,319
one moment where I had heard from people inside the

442
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,920
courtroom about his smell in the courtroom, and I wasn't sure,

443
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,039
like you can as you watch me saying, and I

444
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,880
wasn't sure, and it was you know, some very credible people.

445
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,000
I just wasn't sure. Do I report on it? Do

446
00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:46,680
I not report on it? And there were so many

447
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,920
people saying it that I was just like, Okay, I'm

448
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,200
going to have to report on it. So I talked

449
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,640
about what I heard was happening in the courtroom, and

450
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,559
that moment went viral. It's like ten million people you

451
00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:00,599
know saw that. I think I'm just excel but I

452
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:03,079
think the reach of that has been you know, fairly,

453
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:05,480
you know, fairly wide. And I'm just saying, look, that

454
00:28:05,559 --> 00:28:07,440
was a data point that I heard. But it just

455
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,559
goes to show you the ultimate kind of projection and

456
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,920
confession of Donald Trump in everything he does. I mean,

457
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,200
why is he giving a speech when he's running for

458
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:20,079
office saying that other people are smelly? Like that's like

459
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,799
just a weird thing for a person.

460
00:28:21,839 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: It just you know, it's childish, That's really what it is.

461
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 3: You know.

462
00:28:26,519 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 2: I in third grade, we had a kid, you know whatever,

463
00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:33,720
for whatever the reason might have been, he used to

464
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,920
urinate on himself all the time. I don't know what.

465
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,359
He always had to bring in an extra pair of

466
00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:43,519
underwear and you know, a ziplock bag, and you know

467
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,359
it was he was a nice kid. Whatever the problem was,

468
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,599
I have no idea, but there was clearly a problem.

469
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,839
But then, of course there's always mean kids in a class,

470
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,319
right And you know, they all had nicknames for him.

471
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,480
You know, his name is Cyrus, was smelly Cyrus and

472
00:29:03,519 --> 00:29:07,720
so and when I hear Donald Trump speak about speak

473
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:13,759
about this, I say to myself, really seriously, what grade

474
00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:18,519
are you actually in? This is a guy who wants

475
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:23,279
to be again president of the United States. The people

476
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:27,039
in Beverly Hill's is stinky. This one is a horse face.

477
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,200
This one, you know, this one is you know, is

478
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,960
a mutt? Is a rat? Is this and that? I mean,

479
00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:37,720
have you ever sleepy Joe? Low energy? Jeb crooked? Hillary?

480
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:40,599
Crooked Joe? I mean, you know it's it's you know,

481
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:45,680
there's a nickname for everyone, right, I tell you something, though,

482
00:29:46,279 --> 00:29:49,519
I've become kind of good at hitting back with those nicknames.

483
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,440
You know, you know that von shitzen Pants really gets

484
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,880
to him. In fact, it's now been the topic of

485
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:03,759
conversation before before judgment Shah and at least several times.

486
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:07,720
Now you know where Donald really doesn't like it? And

487
00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:12,240
why doesn't he like it? Clearly there has to be

488
00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:15,440
a problem going on here, right. He doesn't like the

489
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,279
fact that I call him Von shits and Pants. He

490
00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:21,319
doesn't like the fact that it trends and so on.

491
00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:23,440
And to be honest with you, Donald, because I know

492
00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:25,759
some of your people are watching, I don't give a fuck.

493
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:28,880
I really don't don't. I don't give a fuck. You

494
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,359
want to keep beating up on people keep attacking people

495
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,799
with your third grade nicknames. Well, you know what, sometimes

496

to me and other people, including when you turn around

00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,880

bullshit artist bar right, that bloviated scumbag pull my file

507
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,720
when I was supposed to be released under the CAREZAC

508
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,519
and kept me in for another twenty one days of

509

solitary confinement, thirty six straight days of solitary confinement because

510
00:31:32,519 --> 00:31:35,480
you could Well, you know what, let me tell you something.

511
00:31:35,519 --> 00:31:38,039
Karma is a bitch baby, and it's on its way.

Donald Trump told Americans to inject themselves with bleach. We've

521
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:18,200

580
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,079
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Political Beatdown. I've been mysells joined by

581
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:34,280
Michael Cohen. Cohen four years ago to the day is

582
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,400
when Donald Trump held that press conference where he told

583
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:44,840
Americans to inject bleach into themselves on national television. Now,

584
00:36:45,079 --> 00:36:49,239
one of the things about Donald Trump's malignant narcissism is

585
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,599
that he needs to be the smartest guy in the room,

586
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,519
and he ain't that smart. And so when he's in

587
00:36:55,559 --> 00:36:58,239
a room with scientists, when he's with people like doctor

588
00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:03,480
Fauci or others, donald Trump needs to substitute his gut,

589
00:37:03,519 --> 00:37:07,320
which is always wrong for what the scientists actually say.

590
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,599
So the same moment, and when I saw Donald Trump

591
00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:13,599
giving these press conferences four years ago, it's one of

592
00:37:13,639 --> 00:37:17,239
the reasons why I even started this platform, because every

593
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,760
day the trauma he was inflicting on the country as

594
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,079
we were all locked up because of him and then

595
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:27,280
he would hold these press conferences and then brag about

596
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:32,159
how he's getting better ratings than like TV shows. And

597
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,679
it was such an odd thing. But here's what President

598
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:39,639
Biden posted. He said, don't inject bleach and don't vote

599
00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:43,119
for the guy who told you to inject bleach. And

600
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:48,280
President Biden was posting on the campaign Twitter account or

601
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,199
x account that said, four years ago today, Trump told

602
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,280
Americans to inject bleach on national television. I want to

603
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,400
play this clip just to remind everybody what happened four

604
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:02,760
years ago, go to this day. Let's play it and to.

605
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,519
Speaker 6: Test that too.

606
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 7: Sounds interesting, right, And then I see the disinfectant where

607
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,760
it knocks it out in a minute one minute, And

608
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,719
is there a way we can do something like that

609
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:20,599
by injection inside or or almost a cleaning, because you

610
00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:22,800
see it gets on the lungs and it does a

611
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,800
tremendous number on the lungs. So it'd be interesting to

612
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,400
check that so that you're gonna have to use medical

613
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,440
doctors with. But it sounds interesting to me.

614
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,119
Speaker 1: There you have it, that was four years ago.

615
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 2: And man, for God's sakes, think about this, right, it

616
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:43,039
cleans it out in a minute. He's thinking, he's thinking

617
00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:46,320
about your washing machine. Yeah, you drop a little chlorox

618
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,000
bleach in there, it'll clean out and disinfect your washing

619
00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:52,920
machine in a minute. You put bleach into your lungs,

620
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,400
in a minute, you're gonna be dead. But he didn't

621
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,119
give a shit. He didn't care if you inject yourself

622
00:38:58,119 --> 00:39:03,159
in bleach a fucking climb, because could you imagine inject

623
00:39:03,159 --> 00:39:05,280
bleach into your lungs. Yeah, you don't have to worry

624
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,880
about COVID. You're gonna You're gonna die in about sixty seconds.

625
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:13,119
I mean, it's as dumb as anything. You know, there's

626
00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:16,800
a difference between being dumb and then just being stupid,

627
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,480
and this goes beyond both. When you're sitting there, you're

628
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,760
telling somebody, yeah, you know, there's a way to someone

629
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,840
get it in and the doctors it's not. First of all,

630
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,880
it's not the doctors that would be doing it. Would

631
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,719
be the scientists. It would be like the doctor Fauci's,

632
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,599
you know, the epidemiologists or doctor Burks. It's not gonna

633
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:38,280
be a standard, right, what is it gonna be your

634
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,159
your prostidantist or your your your plastic surgeon is going

635
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,519
to turn around they're going to start looking at how

636
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:49,400
to inject bleach into all I mean to do it

637
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,920
into your lungs. Just from a medical standpoint, so you

638
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,119
know that, actually I used to do a ton of

639
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:57,320
medical malpractice cases. In fact, instead of being a lawyer,

640
00:39:57,519 --> 00:39:59,960
I actually wanted to be a doctor like my father.

641
00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:04,000
There what's called a thracentisis, which is when you put

642
00:40:04,039 --> 00:40:07,880
a large needle into the lungs to draw out a fluid.

643
00:40:08,199 --> 00:40:12,320
Usually you get that from pneumonia or from pleurisy or

644
00:40:12,559 --> 00:40:16,880
something like a pulmonary embolist causes the plurisy, whatever it

645
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,519
might be. But to inject bleach into the lungs in

646
00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:26,559
order to clean out covid is yeahs, As Harold just said,

647
00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:27,800
it's a total schmuck.

648
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, President Biden was in Virginia with AOC and

649
00:40:32,519 --> 00:40:38,000
Senator Bernie Sanders talking about policies to deal with climate change,

650
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,159
and they were having serious discussions about actual tang policy.

651
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,360
On the other hand, let me remind you what happened

652
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,280
when Donald Trump was in office. And here is what

653
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,360
Donald Trump said at a committee meeting or a hearing

654
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,199
that was dealing with the issues relating to climate Take

655
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,000
a loko what Trump said. Let's play this clip.

656
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 8: So I think one area of mutual agreement and priority

657
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,719
is vegetation management. But I think we want to work

658
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,360
with you to really recognize the changing climate and what

659
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,360
it means to our forests and actually work together with

660
00:41:12,559 --> 00:41:15,199
that science. That science is going to be key, because

661
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,440
if we if we ignore that science and sort of

662
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,760
put our head in the sand and think it's all

663
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:23,199
about vegetation management, we're not going to succeed together protecting Californias.

664
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: Okay, it'll start getting cooler. I wish you just watch.

665
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,119
Speaker 2: I wish science agreed with you.

666
00:41:30,599 --> 00:41:32,599
Speaker 7: Oh well, I don't think science knows.

667
00:41:32,639 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: Actually, I don't think science knows actually, is what he said.

668
00:41:39,559 --> 00:41:41,559
And I just think that you keep to remind me.

669
00:41:42,559 --> 00:41:44,639
Speaker 2: But he does. He knows.

670
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,119
Speaker 1: He knows better than anybody else about every issue. And

671
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:51,199
all you have to do is have somebody who travels

672
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,840
with him with a printer, with a portable printer to

673
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,960
print out these articles for him that are flattering. So

674
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,840
all he has to do is take his sharpie and

675
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:03,679
he writes what he thinks the news should be, and

676
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,719
then he goes to the press with it and says,

677
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,599
you look at my Look at my picture book, everybody,

678
00:42:08,639 --> 00:42:10,119
look at the book that I made. Look at all

679
00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:12,960
of these great headlines that I'm getting. It's so much

680
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,159
that I'm having trouble reading all of these great headlines.

681
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,719
And at the same time he's doing that, Cohen, He's

682
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,679
like sending these weird emails to his followers, and he's saying,

683
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,679
tomorrow I could be thrown in jail. I hope this

684
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:32,280
isn't goodbye. He's sending emails like that. He's also saying

685
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,000
that he wants there to be or he's implying that

686
00:42:35,079 --> 00:42:39,679
he wants there to be protests on his behalf at

687
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,239
the courthouse. I mean, he writes, why are the Palestinian

688
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:48,159
protesters and even rioters allowed to roam the cities, scream, shout, sit,

689
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,239
block traffic, enter buildings, not get permits, and basically do

690
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,480
whatever they want, including threatening Supreme Court justices right in

691
00:42:56,519 --> 00:42:59,239
front of their home. And yet people who truly love

692
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,480
our country and want to make America great again are

693
00:43:02,519 --> 00:43:06,760
not allowed to peacefully protest and are rudely and systematically

694
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:10,519
shut down and ushered off to far away holding areas,

695
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,880
essentially denying them their constitutional rights. And then he goes

696
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:19,880
and tells people go out and peacefully protest, rally behind MAGA,

697
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,880
save our country. The only thing you have to fear

698
00:43:24,119 --> 00:43:28,199
is fear itself. And he's quoting a democrat there, he's

699
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,599
quoting FDR. If you look at the turnout though, there

700
00:43:31,639 --> 00:43:35,079
was one person who showed up on Donald Trump's behalf

701
00:43:35,119 --> 00:43:38,679
as the Good Liars wrote massive turnout for Donald Trump

702
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:44,599
today in New York that there was one person showing up.

703
00:43:45,079 --> 00:43:47,280
And let me just share this with you, Cohen, because

704
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,480
this is something that is all of this is happening.

705
00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:55,599
Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba just posted this video directed

706
00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:59,320
at our editor in chief Ron Philipkowski here on the

707
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,599
Midas Touch Network. She previously made a video of herself

708
00:44:03,079 --> 00:44:06,400
like cutting celery, which was weird. So our editor in

709
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,440
chief just played the video. It's like, why is she

710
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:12,719
posting videos like that? And so she just made this video.

711
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,719
This was moments ago, Alena Habba said. This was as

712
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,719
we were recording this. This is what Donald Trump's lawyer,

713
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:24,199
Alena Habba is doing. She goes breaking for the troll skis,

714
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,679
I can't cut an avocado either, And this is what

715
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,320
she's posting on her social media right now during this

716
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,800
very serious criminal trial, Donald Trump's lawyer posted this let's

717
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:38,400
play the clip.

718
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:43,159
Speaker 9: Hey Ice, I've never done a video like this, so

719
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,079
I thought I would try because Jan Filipowski is getting

720
00:44:47,119 --> 00:44:49,480
like a million.

721
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 10: Views from me chopping cellar. This is me eating avocado

722
00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:01,360
happy passover everybody. Hey Ron yellow troll Ski, Well, I'm

723
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,440
not gonna test either.

724
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:07,599
Speaker 2: Your life.

725
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,559
Speaker 1: Just very odd behavior from these like very strange behavior.

726
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 2: Is there anything that anybody really needs to say? Right?

727
00:45:19,079 --> 00:45:22,840
I mean, I'm sure she spent thirty minutes or more

728
00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:26,239
trying to figure out what outfit that she would need.

729
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,039
Maybe she wouldn't got her hair done for it too.

730
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:34,519
You know, look, she's she's a clown. She's a complete

731
00:45:34,679 --> 00:45:39,400
clown who has like so many people. I was there,

732
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,239
I know, I know she's trying to protect Donald. Nobody

733
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,880
knows about protecting Nobody knows about protecting Donald like I

734
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,079
did for over a decade, and I know exactly what

735
00:45:53,159 --> 00:45:57,719
she's doing. Anybody that turns around and says something negative

736
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:04,159
about Donald, like Ron Philipowski, she needs to be able

737
00:46:04,199 --> 00:46:09,239
to show Donald or hope that she gets enough people

738
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,960
who are following her in his inner circle that show

739
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,719
it to him without her being the one to say,

740
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,719
Hey Donald, Donald, Donald, look here, look here, Look what

741
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,039
I've done. Look what I did. I went after him.

742
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:24,280
He's attacking you, so I went after him. You know,

743
00:46:24,519 --> 00:46:29,320
I've seen it a hundred times, more than a hundred times.

744
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:37,239
She's just she's typical for unfortunately what is now surrounding

745
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,920
Trump when you start to see people like Todd Blanche

746
00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:48,599
throwing away a real reputation, throwing it away for what

747
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,159
but Trump does he really think that down the road

748
00:46:53,199 --> 00:46:56,880
that Donald's going to do something for him, especially if

749
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,119
he loses this case, the same way that now now

750
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,079
Alena Haba is sort of relegated to her kitchen to

751
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,639
start eating avocado to make fun of Ron you know,

752
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,960
who posted a video of her chopping celery or whatever.

753
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,760
You realize how stupid that this is. We're talking about

754
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,920
a man who wants to be president of the United

755
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,960
States of America again when the whole world right now

756
00:47:24,039 --> 00:47:28,239
is upside down. I mean, I don't understand what she's doing.

757
00:47:28,599 --> 00:47:31,719
You know, it makes no it makes no sense to me.

758
00:47:32,119 --> 00:47:37,320
This is as stupid as her Saint Bart's at Nikki

759
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,840
Beach party, you know, putting it out there the last

760
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,719
thing in the world that you want to do when

761
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:47,280
you're out there representing Donald Trump, a megabillionaire. We all

762
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,480
know how Richie is, right, Alina, right? Who paid you

763
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,840
money from the campaign? If you really even got that

764
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,400
full amount, going out there and spending it and showing

765
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,239
it off to the people who can't afford their own electricity,

766
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,039
their cell phone bills, or they're ranked, you're actually sticking

767
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,639
the middle thing right into your supporter's face. You should,

768
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,039
she should really just have some kouf, which I don't have. Listen,

769
00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:16,760
she just doesn't, you know.

770
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,159
Speaker 1: One of the things too, that was released yesterday was

771
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,079
some of the confidential documents and information in the Mara

772
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:28,559
Lago case was released based on Judge Eileen Cannon's order,

773
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,000
and some of the stuff is fairly devastating, you know,

774
00:48:32,079 --> 00:48:34,599
to Donald Trump when you go through it. We did

775
00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:37,840
a whole video on it here at the mind of

776
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,559
this Touch network, and you'll have dogs barking in the background,

777
00:48:41,639 --> 00:48:43,599
so just affuse them as they bar.

778
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 2: I did want to say something while while while the

779
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,559
puppies are all are all barking here. You know, obviously

780
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:57,599
I am going through a significant amount of you know,

781
00:48:57,679 --> 00:49:01,480
of documents, So if we can just well, at least

782
00:49:02,519 --> 00:49:04,679
I'll say that I was going to talk about the

783
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,119
go fundme if at all possible, since we have like

784
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:12,199
twenty thousand people that are following us just live right now,

785
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,760
which is fantastic. Yeah, the dogs have an opinion too,

786
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:22,400
if this stuff, this is no joke. You know, they

787
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,239
have put me really behind the april. So to those

788
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,440
of you who can truly appreciate this, every dollar, not

789
00:49:28,599 --> 00:49:31,400
like Donald win ninety cents of every dollar I get

790
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,440
to use for my own stuff, I don't see the amounts.

791
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,599
I happen to know some what comes in only because

792
00:49:37,639 --> 00:49:40,639
my lawyer tells me goes right to her account. You know,

793
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,960
I have so many hours that I have invested, and

794
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,840
I have more hours in order just to go over

795
00:49:48,119 --> 00:49:53,599
you know, past testimony, just to ensure that this case goes,

796
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:59,599
you know, goes properly, especially knowing what Trump's lawyers intend

797
00:49:59,679 --> 00:50:02,760
to do, which is just to attack me day in

798
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,360
and day out, day in and day out, and try

799
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,519
to you know, blur the lines of what's relevant what's

800
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:12,519
not relevant, uh in you know, in this case. So

801
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,239
I do want to be obviously prepared for legitimately what's

802
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:23,480
the first criminal proceeding against a United States president, former

803
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,119
United States president in the history of our country. You know,

804
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,960
there's there's no room for you know, for error here,

805
00:50:32,159 --> 00:50:35,119
and I just want to make sure that there's no

806
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,039
document that I haven't seen in advance of, you know,

807
00:50:39,159 --> 00:50:43,679
my appearance. So if you can, thank you appreciate everything

808
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,840
that our brigaders have done. And more importantly, I hope

809
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,559
you've had a chance to listen. Tony Schwartz is with

810
00:50:49,599 --> 00:50:52,920
me right now on the Maya Culpa podcast. Might just

811
00:50:53,039 --> 00:50:59,239
Touch Network RSS feed blue icon background. It's I could

812
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,320
not be happier to be a part of the Midas

813
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:08,000
Touched Network family, you know, with Ben, with Brett, with Jordi.

814
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,159
You know, I Sawtie, we got we got the whole crew.

815
00:51:11,639 --> 00:51:15,559
And to be honest, the one thing that I can

816
00:51:15,559 --> 00:51:20,639
tell you about this network, there's no innuendo here, there's

817
00:51:20,639 --> 00:51:25,400
no bullshit. There's just facts. And I can't think of

818
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,280
any other place that people are running to to get

819
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,400
the facts.

820
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,199
Speaker 1: Cohen, this is what I wanted to share with you.

821
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,760
So one of the people Donald Trump is taking legal

822
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,840
advice from. In addition to Alena Habba, who you saw

823
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,480
there cutting the avocado for whatever reason is a guy

824
00:51:42,599 --> 00:51:46,559
named Tom Fitton. Tom Finton runs the right wing group

825
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:51,320
Judicial Watch. Tom Fitton is not a lawyer. Tom Fitton

826
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,880
is the one. He's like one of Donald Trump's key

827
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:58,559
legal advisors again who is not actually, I think a

828
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:02,800
licensed lawyer. And Tom Fitton just recently made a video

829
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,440
of himself and Fitten wears these really tight shirts and

830
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,559
apparently also hats that don't fit him. And the same

831
00:52:10,599 --> 00:52:14,199
way Elena Hobba is making these videos of herself like

832
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,960
cutting avocado, Donald Trump's like legal advisor who's not a lawyer.

833
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,039
Tom Fitton is making videos of himself now that look

834
00:52:23,199 --> 00:52:26,559
like this. Just watch the insanity here. Play this clip.

835
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 6: Still, Lennon, it looks like the judge will not let

836
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,519
me go through the graduation.

837
00:52:31,079 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 2: Of my son's work, very very hard.

838
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:38,119
Speaker 6: He's great students' very proud of the fact that he

839
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,280
did so well. And I was looking forward for years

840
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,800
to have a graduation with his mother and father there.

841
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:45,519
Speaker 2: And it looks like the.

842
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 6: Judges an't gonna allow beings who escape this scam.

843
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 2: It's a scam trial.

844
00:52:50,079 --> 00:52:53,119
Speaker 6: If you read all of the legal punished over the

845
00:52:53,199 --> 00:52:56,599
legal scholars today, this now one did I see it said,

846
00:52:56,639 --> 00:52:57,639
this is a case.

847
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 2: That should be grew up or try. It's a scam.

848
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:05,199
Speaker 6: It's a political which it continues, he continues.

849
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 2: Forever, and we're not going to be given a fair job.

850
00:53:07,519 --> 00:53:10,039
It's a very like.

851
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,519
Speaker 1: So wait, wait, wait, so I showed you that. So

852
00:53:17,639 --> 00:53:20,679
I showed you that. That's Donald Trump's main legal advisor

853
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,679
right there. His other main legal advisor, Alena Habba. Let

854
00:53:24,679 --> 00:53:27,719
me just show you Alena Habba's video one more.

855
00:53:29,519 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 2: One more. That's that's his one main legal advisor. Here's

856
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:33,599
the here's the other one.

857
00:53:33,639 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: Play play the Alina Habba one one more.

858
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm waiting for him to jump on Donald off the

859
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:40,159
top of a couch.

860
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 9: I've never done a video like this, so I thought

861
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:48,320
I would try because one Filipowski is getting like a

862
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:50,320
million views from me chopping cellary.

863
00:53:52,039 --> 00:53:57,599
Speaker 10: This is me eating avocado. Happy pass over everybody. Hey,

864
00:53:57,679 --> 00:54:01,920
Ron Lilo Trollski, Well, I'm not cocts either.

865
00:54:06,599 --> 00:54:10,159
Speaker 2: Your wife, I mean Cohen.

866
00:54:10,199 --> 00:54:12,639
Speaker 1: I think I gave you a la. Are you gonna

867
00:54:12,679 --> 00:54:14,599
do a two finger salutor? You're not gonna give You're

868
00:54:14,599 --> 00:54:16,679
gonna do a one thing? You're gonna reserve? Are you

869
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,480
gonna reserved finger salutes.

870
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 2: No, I think our two finger salute has to go

871
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:27,639
to the defendant. You knows, counsel has to go to Actually,

872
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,639
it has to go to that to all of those

873
00:54:29,679 --> 00:54:33,199
that are sitting at that table from Susan netlist, even

874
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,119
though she really hasn't done anything. So let me just

875
00:54:35,159 --> 00:54:39,280
say Todd Blanche and Donald Trump for just really making

876
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:43,920
a complete, uh fucking joke out of you know, what's

877
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:48,599
going on right now and the ongoing constant attacks on

878
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:53,159
myself and other people for you know, their own shits

879
00:54:53,199 --> 00:54:57,079
and giggles. So it's a cutie. So Todd, see you

880
00:54:57,199 --> 00:55:01,800
very soon. You fuck her and Donald? What can I say?

881
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,119
We'll be sitting across the table from one another very

882
00:55:05,199 --> 00:55:08,599
very soon. The only difference is I'll be the one speaking.

883
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,639
You'll be sitting there with your mouth shut, and you'll

884
00:55:11,639 --> 00:55:15,280
be listening to everything that I say, which, in all fairness,

885
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:20,039
will probably corroborate or have been corroborated by every other

886
00:55:20,159 --> 00:55:24,880
witness that it comes forward, including a slew of documents,

887
00:55:25,079 --> 00:55:28,599
so you know, bring it on. You know, I'm not

888
00:55:28,679 --> 00:55:31,480
afraid of you. I'm not afraid of I'm not afraid

889
00:55:31,519 --> 00:55:35,760
of Todd Blanche or Susan neck Lee's like again, as

890
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,199
I had said once before, you know, to quote Buddha,

891
00:55:39,519 --> 00:55:43,599
the three things that will always rise, the Sun, the moon,

892
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,079

fix with the case and so on. I really am

942
00:58:02,519 --> 00:58:07,320
truly trying to do my best not to watch any

943
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,719
of the news. It's very difficult. This is really nothing

944
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,440
on TV, and I've kind of binge watched everything else,

945
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,719

00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,199
