1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,639
Speaker 1: Welcome to Political Beatdown. I'm Ben micellas joined by Michael Cohen.

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,400
We have a lot to discuss. Obviously, at the top

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,359
of the show, the breaking news about Susie Wiles, Donald

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,839
Trump's chief of staff, gave this interview, actually eleven interviews,

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,800
separate interviews with Vanity Fair, and Vanity Fair got this

6
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:28,160
incredible access to her and others in the Trump cabinet.

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,000
They wrote this two part story. At least two parts

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,280
have been released thus far. And in the story, Susie

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Wiles says that if you go back to that first one,

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,679
she talks about how Donald Trump has the personality of

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,240
an alcoholic. She says, he's all over the Epstein files.

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,399
She basically refers to Jay d Vance as a phony.

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,520
She says Bondie really screwed up, regarding the Epstein files

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,600
as well. Additionally, the way she describes the Epstein file,

15
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:00,719
she's like Donald Trump and Epstein. Yes, they're all over

16
00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:03,359
the files. But they were young, she goes, He goes,

17
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:05,519
they were like young. She goes, this may sound possible,

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,359
but they were young playboys roaming around town together, and

19
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:13,120
that's just what young playboys do. That's what she said,

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,719
and she goes, yeah, of course he's all over it.

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,519
She also said that Bill Clinton is not you know,

22
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:20,280
has nothing to do with the island. And she said

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,079
she's seen the files that Clinton has nothing to do

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,480
with it. Let me show you how the White House

25
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:29,519
is handling it. Caroline Levitt moments ago gave a press conference.

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,200
Let's show you this and then Cohen, because you know these,

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,280
you know how it operates there. I want you to

28
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,480
give us the kind of insight in what's going down

29
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:41,079
to the White House. But let's play what Levitt said,

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,519
Let's play machine gun lips.

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,439
Speaker 2: Was working hand in glove with Vanity Fair. And yet

32
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,480
here's Susie Wiles's reaction to the series of articles.

33
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: Quote.

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,519
Speaker 2: The article published early this morning is a disingenuously framed

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,599
hit piece on me and the finest president, white House staff,

36
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:59,799
and cabinet in history. Significant context was disregarded, and much

37
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,120
of what I and others said about the team and

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,760
the president was left out of the story. I assume

39
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:06,920
after reading it that this was done to pay an

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,840
overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the president and our team.

41
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:13,800
She goes on after that, you can read the full

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,599
thing on x but what happened, what went wrong?

43
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:19,759
Speaker 4: Well, look, I would just echo my boss, Susie Wiles,

44
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,719
who is the best chief of staff in our nation's history,

45
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:26,400
working for the greatest president in our nation's history, and

46
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:30,560
that this was unfortunately another attempt at fake news by

47
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:33,639
a reporter who was acting disingenuously and.

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 5: Really did take the chief's words out of context. But

49
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:40,080
I think most importantly, the bias of omission was ever

50
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:43,960
present throughout this story. The reporter omitted all of the

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,240
positive things that Susie and our team said about the

52
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,639
President and the inner workings of the White House. And

53
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,680
as Susie said today, it's deeply unfortunate that happened, but

54
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:55,599
it won't distract us from making America great again.

55
00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:04,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, is there anybody that's with us right now that's

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:12,039
not sort of laughing at the level of stupidity emanating

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,639
from that gaping anus.

58
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:19,159
Speaker 7: Under machine gun lips his nose. Let me be crystal

59
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:22,719
clear about something. First of all, Trump is furious, Okay,

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,199
he's furious because one she compared him to like a

61
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:32,800
raging alcoholic. She referred to Elon Musk as like a

62
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:37,800
ketamine addict or something like that. She referred to something

63
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:42,000
negative about everybody on the inside. But here's the reason

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,560
why Trump is so angry about it, because it's all true.

65
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:50,080
And in order for him to turn around and to say,

66
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:54,479
you know, this is a hit piece, that this is stupid,

67
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:57,159
this is a lie, it would be like me turning

68
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,000
around and saying Ben that I'm seven foot two. You

69
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:04,039
would say, no, you're not, and I would say, yes,

70
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,719
i am. I would stand up next to you, You'd say, Okay,

71
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:09,240
maybe you're a few inches tall than me, but you're

72
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,039
not seven foot two, and then I say, yes, well,

73
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,560
it's stupid and it's not something that you can't argue. Well,

74
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,879
in this specific case, he knows exactly what was said

75
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:23,680
happens to be accurate. And yes, as Teresa just said,

76
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,839
because she took the words right out of my mouth,

77
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,759
the truth hurts. Let's not be shocked, not for a moment,

78
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,759
if in fact they're already trying to figure out who

79
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,519
will be Susie Wiles's replacement, because this is exactly the

80
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,079
same level of stupidity and ignorance, all right, and no

81
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:50,120
and nonsense that took place during the first administration when

82
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,720
Jared Kushner brought in Woodward in order to interview Trump,

83
00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:58,920
and he did it like five six times. The fact

84
00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:03,600
that you don't like what a journalist is writing about you, well,

85
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,240
then don't do the interview, right, I mean, that's just

86
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,040
the way that it goes. It's one thing. If this

87
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,680
journalist had not interviewed anybody, had not sat with Susie

88
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:23,399
Wiles for eleven different occasions in order to get this information,

89
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,199
and Rest assured, Rest assured that these records, that these

90
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:32,759
are all recorded, and as soon as Trump is going

91
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,480
to turn around and threaten Vanity Fair, who he doesn't

92
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,639
like anyway, he will turn around and regret that because

93
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,279
again he's asking her right now, and if he hasn't,

94
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,800
let me put it into his mind Susie was with

95
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:54,759
the interviews recorded by the journalist, and when she says yes,

96
00:05:56,199 --> 00:06:00,279
then Rest assured there's gonna be no lawsuit and they

97
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,759
will allow it to dissipate until such time as the

98
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,360
next sort of article comes out referring to.

99
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,319
Speaker 1: Donald Trump as an alcoholic or having the personality of

100
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:18,879
an alcoholic rather based on Trump's background, that's one of

101
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,160
the kind of worst things in his mind, right that

102
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,800
you can call him given his views about you know,

103
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,639
or at least his purported views about al you know

104
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,040
about like for you to compare him to basically like

105
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:36,360
a drunk talk to us about that Cohen because of

106
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:37,560
the family and.

107
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,439
Speaker 7: Look, and again, I was by Trump's side for almost

108
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,160
a decade and a half. I've seen him hold a

109
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:48,959
glass of red wine. I've seen him hold a glass

110
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,959
of champagne. You know, while he would put it up

111
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,040
to his lips, he never drank it. It was just

112
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,319
sort of the look so that people didn't think it odd.

113
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,000
Would then put it down on a table and then

114
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:06,959
very nonchalantly mosey away from it. He's not an alcoholic.

115
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,639
He doesn't drink. He lost his brother Fred to alcoholism.

116
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:17,319
He actually despises those people who behave like that, who

117
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:23,279
are alcoholics. He has no patience, he has no empathy

118
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:28,079
for them, very much like what we've seen in other scenarios.

119
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,079
So the fact that you can call him something that

120
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,560
he truly despises, that's a.

121
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,759
Speaker 1: Problem, you know. And she said, you know, his personality

122
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:42,720
is that you know likely also referring to hitting rock bottom,

123
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:51,120
engaging in erratic behavior that has severe consequences that don't

124
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,279
seem to be thought through. I mean you know, but

125
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,759
it makes it worse in many ways that no, this

126
00:07:57,839 --> 00:07:59,680
is this I don't know if it makes it worse,

127
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,759
but that this is actually who who he is, right,

128
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,800
And you know, we covered it a lot yesterday, but

129
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,519
you know, I always like to hear your perspective on

130
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,079
these on these issues, and let the public hear your

131
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,079
perspective on these issues. But like you know, this brutal

132
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:20,360
murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle, the suspect

133
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:26,920
being their son suffered from drug addiction, and incredibly tragic,

134
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:32,000
the most tragic situation, really fathomable. And within hours of

135
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:36,360
that happening, Donald Trump first does a social media post

136
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:41,919
attacking Reiner, and then Donald Trump gives a press conference

137
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,840
where he says horrific things.

138
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,279
Speaker 7: And I think we have you know, Ben, I got

139
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:48,720
to tell you when I saw it, and I'm dying

140
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:51,759
to get your take. And in fact, if I could,

141
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,080
other than this idiot Lie McGrath that's trying to troll

142
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,039
us here, what I would really like to do is

143
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,440
ask some people in your mind what we call out

144
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:05,039
fucking idiots. All right, So here's the thing I would

145
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,000
love for each and every one of you to be

146
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,080
able to share. What were you thinking when you actually

147
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,679
saw whether it was for the first time or second time,

148
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,399
or wherever you saw it, that post by President Trump

149
00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:25,519
regarding Rob Reiner. This one a very sad thing happened

150
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,879
last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling

151
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:33,759
but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has

152
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,000
passed away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to

153
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,159
the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and

154
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,639
incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump

155
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:53,320
derangement syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS. I mean, I'm

156
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:56,000
dying to know, Ben, when you saw this, what was

157
00:09:56,039 --> 00:09:57,080
the first thing you thought?

158
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: It's an unfortunate thought because the answer is always the same,

159
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,200
like this is AI, This isn't real, Like this can't

160
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,080
be what it is? This is this real? Was my

161
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:11,360
first thought. But then it quickly realized, Yes, this is who,

162
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,639
this is who we and I'm and I still get

163
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,039
upset that sometimes my initial reaction to it is to

164
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,799
be skeptical, you know that how could a human being

165
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,320
post this? But that was my initial reaction, Cohen, was

166
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,159
I thought that you know, there from time to time

167
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,639
people share with me those things that look like they're

168
00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:32,679
Trump posts, but they're like a different, somewhat different font,

169
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,960
and you're like, Okay, you don't need to be sharing

170
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
that one because the stuff that he says is even

171
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,480
worse than some of the fake stuff that's put out there.

172
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:41,039
But that's you know, but that's what I thought. And

173
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,799
then my next thought is kind of just, you know,

174
00:10:44,919 --> 00:10:47,039
I view this not from a political ends, and as

175
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,519
you know, I didn't get involved in this to be like,

176
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:53,960
oh like, let's go Donkey team, let's go democraty, Like

177
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:57,440
that's not like really what excites me. You know, ultimately

178
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,000
my values align more with one party than the other.

179
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,480
But I lead with values versus rooting for specific parties.

180
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,519
But I'm transparent that my values and principles align more

181
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,039
closely with one political party. But my but my view

182
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,639
about this stuff is just I just don't understand or

183
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,919
I do understand actually, just the way that people can

184
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,240
read this and that a portion of the population still.

185
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 7: So ben I I did not I had not heard

186
00:11:27,879 --> 00:11:32,960
that Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle had passed, and

187
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:35,799
so when I saw it, I was like, oh man,

188
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:39,679
you know, people are fucked up write this AI these

189
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:43,360
these fake posts and so on, there are posts about

190
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,679
me that I committed suicide and and so and it was.

191
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:51,120
It was terrible. It was actually one of my children

192
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,879
that saw it when alerted me to it. So the

193
00:11:55,919 --> 00:12:01,879
first my first reaction was I googled Rob Reiner and

194
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:05,480
fucking a. It turned around and it said that right

195
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:10,720
now outside of his home there in which area he's

196
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,759
by where about a block away from where OJ was

197
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,159
in Brentwood, in Brentwood, that the police are there right

198
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,159
now on scene for a double homicide. And I was like,

199
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:26,120
oh my god. Right, So then I went ahead and

200
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:28,600
I looked at the New York Times, Wall Street Journal,

201
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Washington Post, and miss NBC or NBC, ABC, CNN and

202
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:38,039
lo and behold, all of a sudden, I start finding

203
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:44,480
articles that have Trump's post attached to it. And then

204
00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:49,159
I felt physically ill. I was saying to myself, you

205
00:12:51,159 --> 00:12:56,120
cannot have really put this. I was almost like, if

206
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,399
I was talking to him through the air, you really

207
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,639
did not do this. You really could not have thought

208
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:06,000
or anybody around you could not have thought that this

209
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:10,000
would be a good idea to put out while two

210
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:15,799
people lay deceased on the floors in their home from

211
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:19,159
a homicide, that this is the right thing to do.

212
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,120
First of all, you're wrong. He was not killed by

213
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,039
some deranged individual that he got all wild, you know,

214
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:29,679
riled up.

215
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: The though Cohen is that Trump didn't say a deranged individual,

216
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:38,240
did it. Trump almost insinuated that this was the natural

217
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,279
consequence exactly of criticizing Trump.

218
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 7: That was the point I was going to make right that,

219
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:49,159
you know, this Trump derangement syndrome is not necessarily against

220
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,559
the perpetrator, but against but it lies in the hands

221
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:55,720
of the victim as well.

222
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And you know, there are so many moments

223
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,639
though in a day that make you, you know, you know,

224
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:10,759
question basic humanity. I'll just give you another example. I'll

225
00:14:10,759 --> 00:14:12,879
give you two examples just in the past twenty four

226
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:18,360
hours with the school shooting that took place at Brown University.

227
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,600
And by the way, Brown University was one of those

228
00:14:21,639 --> 00:14:25,080
schools that made the deal with Donald Trump for him

229
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,440
to basically influence their curriculum. And then Donald Trump attacks

230
00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:33,879
Brown University and he says that, you know, even though

231
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:36,200
Donald Trump was one of the first people spreading the

232
00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:40,320
lies and disinformation frankly, after Brown University put out a

233
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,919
statement that the suspect was not in custody. Donald Trump

234
00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:46,879
put out a statement that he was briefed and said

235
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:51,200
the suspect is in custody. And then Donald Trump's FBI

236
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,360
handed over to Providence the wrong guy. They said, we've

237
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,039
got the suspect based on our FBI stuff, and they

238
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,519
gave the wrong guy, and that guy's information made it

239
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:07,799
to the public. That guy's life has basically been ruined

240
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:10,240
as well, because all of his info is out there.

241
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,279
I mean, obviously people know he didn't do it now

242
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,480
and the real killer, the shooter, the terrorist, is out there.

243
00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:20,759
And Donald Trump, when he was asked about it at

244
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:24,399
a press conference, says, you know, I don't really know

245
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,759
much about it. That's not an FBI thing. That's not US.

246
00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:30,600
That's the school. They'll deal with it. That's yours response

247
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:31,759
as the president of the United States.

248
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 7: Right. Funny because normally what he does is he automatically

249
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:38,720
contacts the National Guard, right and sends them out there.

250
00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:41,840
I mean, he's certainly doing that because people were protesting

251
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:44,399
in front of a building, which of course that has

252
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:47,200
nothing to do with them either. So here, all of

253
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,000
a sudden, it's now up to the school to figure

254
00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:54,159
it out. Yet you have Kesh Patel or others advising

255
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,120
him incorrectly, which when the President of the United States

256
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,360
says something, whether you like him or not, words matter.

257
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that with him though words a deal,

258
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,799
they don't matter. They're a tool for Trump to keep

259
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,720
power and to deceite like that's a sad state for

260
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:24,639
this country. And we talk later in the show about

261
00:16:24,639 --> 00:16:29,519
what's going on in Europe and how they're viewing the

262
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:35,440
United States, how the main security intelligence agencies am I

263
00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:41,240
six in the UK, in France and others. How the

264
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:46,960
German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz is treating the United States now

265
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:53,279
openly treating the US as a hostile enemy force that's

266
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,639
allied with Putin. That's where we are right now as

267
00:16:56,679 --> 00:16:58,879
we reach the end of this year.

268
00:16:58,879 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 7: And Europe has walked away. Europe has not only walked

269
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,000
away from US in terms of sharing of intelligence, which

270
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:08,160
puts each and every one of us in harm's way.

271
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,559
You know, there's only so much information that can be

272
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,680
gathered from our Nssay, we work in concert with our allies,

273
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:21,319
which is why NATO, which is why keeping our allies

274
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,880
allies is so important. Do you really think for a

275
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,759
second anybody that Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, you know, Erdowan,

276
00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:38,200
or any of these, you know, any of these monarchy dictatorships,

277
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,519
our our adversaries are actually gonna share with us legitimate

278
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,440
intel in order to make the world better. Instead, we've

279
00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:53,160
now literally shipped on our allies. We've embraced our adversaries.

280
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:57,599
Europe is saying this is out of control. We're walking away.

281
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,440
We're going to be the ones that work with with

282
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:09,079
Zelenski and Ukraine to assure that Russian threat no longer

283
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,400
progresses and continues. And then and then on top of that,

284
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,640
to make matters look worse, to make us look even

285
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:24,039
more pathetic if we could as a country. They decide

286
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:28,160
that they're going to have Zolenski in Berlin and they're

287
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,079
going to engage in Europe is going to engage with

288
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:37,480
Zelenski about providing armaments and financing and assistance anyway that

289
00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:43,839
they possibly can, and trump this administration not wanting to

290
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,200
look like they are no longer involved in these I

291
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,599
don't even want to call it these peace conversations, right,

292
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,880
these sort of I don't know, Ben, what would you

293
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,119
call it these hoaxes, these these shrods.

294
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: Right, it's definitely sure, Yeah, I mean it is. It

295
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:08,599
is performance theater that is being referred to as peace

296
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,759
discussions when the end game is the United States is

297
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:17,240
working with Russia to get Ukraine to surrender.

298
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:20,519
Speaker 7: But my point is, so, now what does Trump do?

299
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,279
He ships off Witkoff and Kushner to immediately run to

300
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,160
Berlin so that we could now be a part of

301
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:35,519
these discussions. So in that way, if hypothetically something comes

302
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:37,440
out of it, which of course you know that it can't,

303
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,839
especially if you listen to like Lavrov and y and

304
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,920
all of if you listen to all of them, you

305
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,640
know that's not possible. But if in fact that it is,

306
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,799
why is it that Trump sent Witkoff and Kushner over

307
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:55,079
there to Berlin? So of course he can take credit

308
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,200
for it. It's yet another win for him. It's now

309
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,400
the ninth war that he has stopped, including one that

310
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,599
he says will be the basis for World War three.

311
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: It's an important point though, as you say that could

312
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,279
be the basis of World War three. But yes, you

313
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,440
had Yushikov, Yuri Yushakov saying he's one of the top

314
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,160
foreign ministers in Russia. The only deal they'll accept is

315
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,400
surrender of Ukraine. We want all of eastern Ukraine, and

316
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:29,240
Ukraine can join the EU and can't join NATO. That's

317
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:34,920
what Yushakov says. You have Dmitriev Kirol Dmitriev saying the

318
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,240
same thing. You have the Russia ambassador to the UK

319
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:41,039
saying the same thing. You have Putin saying the same thing.

320
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:44,079
You have Lavrov saying the same thing. So Russia's made

321
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,880
their point. They're saying it publicly. You know, I do

322
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,839
these videos in the morning where I translate what they're saying,

323
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,400
and I said, just here, just listen to what they're saying.

324
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 7: So do you speak Russian?

325
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't, but no, but we translated. I do not

326
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,839
speak Russian. I do, and then I do, like you're

327
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:06,240
fluent in Russian. Not fluent, but like you could have

328
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:09,440
a pretty good conversation with them in Russian. I don't

329
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:15,680
know that. Yeah, so you have that. But now what

330
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,480
you're seeing happen is in Europe. These European leaders are

331
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:25,599
now using apocalyptic language of World War III as well,

332
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:32,839
because for them, obviously nothing else is working with Trump.

333
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,799
So what they're making it clear, and it's the reality,

334
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,680
not just a negotiating framework that they are saying in

335
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,359
their countries. We've had the Leader of six, first female

336
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,920
leader by the way, in the UK the c we

337
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,640
did a video on her this morning. That's what they

338
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,559
call the Leader of I six. You have these intelligence

339
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:59,759
agencies and leaders in other European countries and they're all

340
00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:04,039
said saying, prepare your sons and daughters for a world war.

341
00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:06,960
This is what they're saying in Europe. Prepare them for

342
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:09,480
a world war because one's going to start very soon.

343
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:13,759
And that message is being sent also back and it's

344
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,599
ratcheted up in the past week also. And why because

345
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:23,759
Donald Trump has given Ukraine the Russian ultimatum of you

346
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,640
need to give all of don Bas Ukraine to Putin,

347
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,759
basically carve out most of eastern Ukraine that Russia has

348
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:34,160
not been able to take over and give it to

349
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,640
Putin and that's it, and then and then we have

350
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,119
a deal.

351
00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 7: Well the more to that deal, right, all the all

352
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,480
the rare earth mineral rights they want, obviously, the oil

353
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,599
that's there in the dombas h All they want, they

354
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,640
want it all, they want everything. That twenty point plan

355
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,880
is not a peace plan. It is a surrendered declaration.

356
00:22:55,279 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so you have that taking place right now,

357
00:23:01,319 --> 00:23:04,640
you know as as well you have Europe ratcheting it up.

358
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,599
But the we we got here in a circuitous way.

359
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,319
One of the things I was, I was I wanted

360
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,960
to go hit on, is like, we want serious people

361
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,279
in serious jobs, right, and we knew that someone like

362
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:22,400
Cash Battel and Pete Hegseith, we're just not serious human beings,

363
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,640
not qualified human beings. They didn't have the moral character

364
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,640
to hold these positions, setting aside your politics or your views.

365
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,039
And now we're seeing it play out. Like I'll just

366
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,440
show you Cash Battel, it's been using the private jet

367
00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:43,759
paid for by taxpayers, travel around with his young girlfriend

368
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,319
and while and our friends and while.

369
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 7: Using our FBI our secrets are using a like uber drivers,

370
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,480
Uber driver, I mean, talk about this.

371
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: Cash is so funny. Cash. Oh my god, he's got

372
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,799
the empty just think of and and that and Cash

373
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,000
like yeah, you know, yeah, this is what we did.

374
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,720
Yeah outa there, you know, just stupid. But this is

375
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,839
what Cash, This is what Cash was doing yesterday when

376
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,160
there's all of these issues that the FBI is dealing with.

377
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,039
This is what Cash was doing. Let's play we are

378
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,039
so excited to be joined by Cash and his beautiful

379
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:24,079
girlfriend Alexis. So I just clairefor you're not Jewish, I'm

380
00:24:24,079 --> 00:24:28,880
not You're not from Israel? No, So how did we

381
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,359
get to Are you a Massada agent? You know, that's

382
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,039
a great question.

383
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 7: Where's her ring?

384
00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:37,319
Speaker 1: Just to clarify, how often has he traveled to see

385
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:38,880
you since January twentieth?

386
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: Is there been one moment where you're like, you.

387
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: Can't make this up? You know there was I've seen

388
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,920
a lot of even like former right wing peoples, former

389
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,359
people who supported Trump out there even saying, now, how

390
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,000
did we get into this timeline?

391
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 7: Like what what?

392
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: What the hell is that? Like seriously, what the hell

393
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:02,759
is that? I mean every aspect of it. You have

394
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:10,240
Stephen Miller's wife, as Stephen Miller has this operation with

395
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,759
ice and border Patrol torturing people, rounding people up. You

396
00:25:13,799 --> 00:25:20,519
have his wife hosting a podcast with the FBI director

397
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:26,240
and the FBI director's young girlfriend who's traveling around on

398
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:29,319
the taxpayer dime, and they're like mocking it. So that's that.

399
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,680
Then you have Hegsith. Let's talk about what heg Sith said.

400
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,440
This morning, let's play that clip of Hexyth.

401
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 8: Also going to tomorrow allow the hask and sask to

402
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:44,079
see the unedited video of the September second alongside with

403
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,119
Admiral Bradley, who has done a fantastic job, has made.

404
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 7: All the right calls, and we're glad he'll be there

405
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,000
to do it.

406
00:25:50,319 --> 00:25:53,559
Speaker 8: But in keeping with long standing Department of War policy,

407
00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:55,960
Department of Defense policy, of course, we're not going to

408
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,599
release a top secret, full.

409
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: Unedited video of that to the general public.

410
00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 8: Haskin Saskin appropriate committees will see it, but not the general.

411
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:14,759
Speaker 1: Just think about it.

412
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:18,079
Speaker 7: Here's so this is the greatest we're gonna show you

413
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:24,400
the American public. We're gonna show you our incredible laser

414
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:30,799
guided drones and missiles blowing up a twenty foot aluminum

415
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,039
vessel with twin outboard. But we're not going to show

416
00:26:36,079 --> 00:26:41,359
you thereafter because that becomes top secret. Can you tell me, Ben,

417
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,200
how would and when I saw Hegseeth make this comment,

418
00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:49,519
all I kept saying is why didn't anybody ask him?

419
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:52,480
Can you tell us why is it? Why is it

420
00:26:53,920 --> 00:27:00,839
under now seal as being top secret or classified? What? What?

421
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:05,680
What's the basis for it? So the first strike, well,

422
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,559
that's okay, that everybody.

423
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,799
Speaker 1: Can see that's not classified. The first strike is.

424
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:18,079
Speaker 7: But the double dip that that second strike classifying classified.

425
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:21,799
I'm just waiting for somebody to explain to me because

426
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:24,920
sometimes when I listen to these guys, I feel very

427
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,480
stupid because I can't figure out what is it that

428
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:29,640
I'm missing.

429
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:38,079
Speaker 1: Or which is rhetorical. You are feeling these stupidity radiating

430
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,599
from them and the corruption radiating from them. And again,

431
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:48,880
when I try to frame this network around values, principles, truth, objectivity,

432
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:55,440
I look at that and just say, that's undefensible, indefensible,

433
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,200
right what Pete Hegseith is saying there? Not only did

434
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,519
Donald Trump previously say that he would release the second strike,

435
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:05,559
but he said it publicly. Then Trump changed his position,

436
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,680
and so whatever heg Sith says. And then, by the way,

437
00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:12,839
yesterday heg Sith released another video of eight more people

438
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,599
murdered by US, and I say us, because it's being

439
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:18,039
done in the name of the United States. He showed

440
00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:23,519
that video not classified. Apparently not that not classified, and

441
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:26,599
then now he's saying, we're not showing you this. So

442
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,640
just everything with this regime from Trump's medical records and MRI,

443
00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:38,359
to the Epstein files, to this, to this video of

444
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,319
the double tap killing. Everything is a cover up, and

445
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,640
the American people are sick and tired of it. American

446
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,680
people are sick and tired. If the economy we're doing well,

447
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:54,440
the Americans would be sick and tired of these antics. Okay,

448
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,359
but the economy is not doing well. When we get back,

449
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,599
what we need to talk about is what we saw

450
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,000
this morning. Unemployment ticked up to four point six percent.

451
00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:10,799
We've basically had zero job growth since April, zero job

452
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:14,519
growth since April. The only sectors that are propping up

453
00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:20,599
jobs at this point health care and education, the two

454
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,880
areas under attack from the Trump regime, are the only

455
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,039
areas that are creating jobs. But if you look at

456
00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:32,519
professional financial, information and transportation, manufacturing, wholesale mining and logging,

457
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:40,079
of course, government jobs all seeing sharp declines. Manufacturing jobs

458
00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:45,519
decline negative over this period of time, negative. And that's

459
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:49,960
Trump's whole pitch too. Versus former President Biden. There was

460
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,880
a manufacture objectively, there just was a manufacturing boom taking place,

461
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:57,319
and there were sixteen million jobs that were created under

462
00:29:57,319 --> 00:30:01,119
former President Biden. Those are just fact. We'll talk about

463
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,279
this and more when we come back from our first break.

464
00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:06,319
But you know, Trump and the regime try to sell

465
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:09,359
us that this is the Golden Age, this is great

466
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,160
and everybody's thriving, everyone's doing amazing, and we know that's

467
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,599
not the case. And I'll just show this before we

468
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,640
go to break. And this is JD. Vance in Allentown

469
00:30:20,559 --> 00:30:23,519
being asked, is this an A plus plus plus economy?

470
00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:26,200
And let's just show you what JD. Van said. Let's

471
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,160
play the club. Go.

472
00:30:28,119 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: President Trump plust week gave his economy a grade of

473
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,039
a plus plus plus plus. What grade would you give

474
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:35,000
the economy today?

475
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:40,359
Speaker 1: A plus plus plus? Yeah, we'll take our first. We'll

476
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,519
take our only quick break of the show. Dissect that

477

485
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:16,440
break of the show.

486
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:20,799
Speaker 7: You ever tried launching a podcast with zero experience? Well,

487
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,279
let me tell you something. It's like being tossed into

488
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:27,640
a cage match with a grizzly bear, blindfolded wearing clown shoes.

489
00:31:27,799 --> 00:31:31,119
Because when I started political beat down with Ben, I thought,

490
00:31:31,279 --> 00:31:35,079
come on, man, how hard can this be? Scriptwriting, logos,

491
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,559
production schedules, and deals? And don't even get me started

492
00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:40,480
on the tech setup. I mean, I feel like I

493
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:44,240
was decoding a damn matrix. Now if only i'd Shopify

494
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:49,200
when I launched this beast. Shopify is the platform behind

495
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:53,839
millions of businesses across the globe, responsible for a whopping

518
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:21,519
Speaker 1: Welcome to Political beat Down. Let's play that clip that

519
00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:24,200
we showed right before the break one more time of JD.

520
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:27,440
Van saying a plus plus plus plus about the economy.

521
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,359
Let's play it go.

522
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:32,079
Speaker 3: President Trump plast week gave his economy a grade of

523
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,240
a plus plus plus plus. What grade would you give

524
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:36,160
the economy today?

525
00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:41,559
Speaker 1: A plus plus plus No cochen, he missed one plus.

526
00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:44,400
He didn't miss one plus, So that's actually means f

527
00:33:48,079 --> 00:33:51,119
that's the laws of my mathematics. It's like a seventeen

528
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,359
hundred percent decrease. So coin, let's talk about this. Though

529
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,960
he's in Allentown, okay, he's in an area that is

530
00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:01,759
actually hurting, should be notable. It wasn't a big crowd,

531
00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:05,200
but he got people to show up, probably forced to

532
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:10,559
be there at this point, and they were applauding him.

533
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 7: While we know that how big How big was the

534
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,800
audience if you don't want me.

535
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,639
Speaker 1: Oh, it was not I mean from what I don't

536
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:20,079
want to mistate the number, but it was close in

537
00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:23,000
the hundreds, not the thousands. You know, it looked like

538
00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:24,079
it was under two hundred.

539
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean see that's the whole thing. You can

540
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,880
find two hundred fucked up people anywhere, right, I mean

541
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:35,760
just imagine, you know, they go into Allentown and somebody

542
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,679
wants to be there for whatever the reason may be.

543
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,280
I don't get it, and they're willing to go ahead,

544
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,039
which is the scary part that each and every one

545
00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:48,280
of us. It's why I constantly say that this network

546
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,320
and the various people that contribute to it, it's why

547
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,320
we ask you all the time to help continue to

548
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,960
grow this community, because when you have communities Allentown, Pennsylvania

549
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,400
right where they are hurting. They've been hurting for a

550
00:35:05,519 --> 00:35:09,559
while now, but now they're really hurting based upon you know,

551
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:15,360
that fake word, that hopes word, that democratic hopes word, affordability.

552
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:20,960
And they're still out there applauding a couch fucker seriously,

553
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:24,280
a guy who I mean seriously, who follows a guy

554
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,199
who took his I don't know, his love chair, his

555
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,199
armchair right to prom I mean, let's get serious for

556
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:36,719
a second. They're cheering on what ice, on the inhumanity

557
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:42,239
of rounding people up, separating children, taking there. You know,

558
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,920
I'm applauding all of the callous nonsense, including the fact

559
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,519
that many of them are losing their benefits like snaps

560
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:53,639
or healthcare and so on. But this is who you're

561
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:55,920
going to You're going to turn around and now attack

562
00:35:56,039 --> 00:36:00,800
Somalia simply because what you don't like ilhan Ohmark Great,

563
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,480
I don't like either, But what does that have to

564
00:36:02,519 --> 00:36:05,119
do with Somalia. You're going to turn around and now

565
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:08,400
tell people who may be your neighbors that they're not

566
00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:11,599
welcome here in this country, despite the fact that they've

567
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:14,599
been living here for thirty forty fifty years. How about

568
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,320
you're going to turn around and disrespect your military as

569
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:23,159
they do every single day. No, no, But yet there's

570
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,639
still a group of idiots that are willing to go

571
00:36:26,679 --> 00:36:30,119
there like a bunch of fucking seals and bounce their

572
00:36:30,159 --> 00:36:33,840
hands back and forth, hooton, holler, and so on. The

573
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,360
question that you have to ask yourself is why would

574
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,159
they do this? And the fact that we know that

575
00:36:39,199 --> 00:36:42,119
they are there is the reason why I ask every

576
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:46,239
single one of you help Midas Touch Network, help me,

577
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,880
help all of us to grow this community. With almost

578
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,639
six million subscribers, imagine if each and every one of

579
00:36:53,679 --> 00:36:57,440
the subscribers brought just one person. You realize that it

580
00:36:57,559 --> 00:37:01,079
dwarfs papers like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal.

581
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:06,079
It literally makes the voice magnified to the extent that

582
00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:10,159
when you have idiots like this in Allentown, you know

583
00:37:10,199 --> 00:37:13,119
how fast it would be for us to mobilize account

584
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:17,880
to strike against everything that's happening. Because these midterms, as

585
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,039
great as we are doing right now, and rest assure,

586
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:27,079
basically every single special election so far held has actually

587
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:30,639
gone to the Democrats. So while we have the momentum,

588
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,920
this is not the time for us to take a

589
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,840
step back. It's not. Now's the time for us to

590
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,960
literally floor it right, push the pedal to the metal,

591
00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:41,880
and let's just keep moving with the same vigor and

592
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:46,599
enthusiasm and and anger that we at least the anger

593
00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:46,960
I have.

594
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: This will make you angry. Then JD. Vance in that

595
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:55,280
same Allentown speech, this is what he had to say

596
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,360
about affordability. He goes, I hear the Democrats talk about

597
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,280
this as if they're gonna fix this on day one.

598
00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:05,039
No one can fix these issues on day one. Here's

599
00:38:05,039 --> 00:38:07,199
what Jdban says. Let's see, you know, I hear these guys.

600
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,559
Speaker 7: I hear these Democrats talk about this as if you were.

601
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,639
Speaker 8: Going to fix these problems in a single day.

602
00:38:12,679 --> 00:38:15,119
Speaker 1: It reminds me of probably the third day in the

603
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:17,639
Oval Office where eggs had.

604
00:38:17,519 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 7: Gotten so expensive under the Biden administration.

605
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, Cohen. First off, it's not day one

606
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:23,119
right now.

607
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:26,679
Speaker 7: It's also they have yeah, points Ben, they literally have

608
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:32,400
hid it's eggs and gasoline. By the way, they're not wrong.

609
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,079
That's all. You got gasoline prices one hundred percent. Everybody

610
00:38:37,119 --> 00:38:41,119
here will acknowledge that gasoline prices are lower weather, it's

611
00:38:41,159 --> 00:38:44,519
ten cents twenty thirty cents than they were a year ago.

612
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:48,880
It's just it's just factually accurate. But the eggs had

613
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,159
nothing to do with JD Vance, nothing to do with Trump,

614
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,559
nothing to do with this administration. During the Biden administration,

615
00:38:56,079 --> 00:39:00,800
there was air flew and they had to literally destroy

616
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:07,039
seventeen plus million egg laying chickens. Okay, now you have

617
00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:11,079
to rebuild replenish that lost amount, which is what's happening,

618
00:39:11,199 --> 00:39:14,920
meaning more eggs, more to the market. Right, the demand

619
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,199
stays the same, price goes down. That's just an economic principle.

620
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:23,519
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, first of all, accurate. Okay, although the Trump

621
00:39:23,559 --> 00:39:26,320
regime says they brought gas below two dollars a gallon,

622
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,320
and while it's lower right now, it's not at like

623
00:39:29,559 --> 00:39:34,159
historical lows. And the fact that gas prices are down

624
00:39:34,599 --> 00:39:40,880
is certainly not slight slightly down, not like wow, slightly down,

625
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,960
which we can acknowledge, but it's not below two dollars

626
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,880
and that's not offsetting the massive rise in electricity prices

627
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:54,400
and energy prices at home. So okay, on the one hand,

628
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:59,559
you've had gas prices drop seven cents a gallon, which

629
00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:01,519
is the every cent matter, So I don't want to

630
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:05,360
be like, uh, whatever that matters. It adds up. Go

631
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,320
look at your electricity bill at home, because that's increased massively,

632
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,519
and that's going to continue to increase massively. Why because

633
00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:18,639
of the data centers that are being built, the AI,

634
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:23,400
the crypto is draining the energy and the corporate greed

635
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:28,000
of these electricity companies that are charging more money. All

636
00:40:28,039 --> 00:40:31,199
of that together, so we're in an environment right now

637
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,079
where inflation overall is significantly higher. But I want to

638
00:40:35,159 --> 00:40:38,480
spring it back to a more simplistic level though than

639
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,159
getting in the weeds, because when you get in the

640
00:40:41,199 --> 00:40:45,840
weeds sometimes it's important to and we're very detailed oriented here,

641
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,079
but sometimes you pull back and go, wait a minute.

642
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:52,119
So JD. Vans is saying right, essentially, it would be

643
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:55,800
total fraud for anybody to say that they would start

644
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,679
lowering prices on day one. That was his point in Allentown. Okay,

645
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,880
what did Donald Trump run his campaign on. He ran

646
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,480
his campaign on day one, Day one, I will bring

647
00:41:08,559 --> 00:41:15,199
down the prices. Now. Former Vice President Kamala Harris said, well, actually,

648
00:41:15,199 --> 00:41:17,440
if we give a twenty five thousand dollars, tap boot,

649
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:21,440
you lost me. You lost, You lost a lot of

650
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,960
the She's laying out a plan that would work, that

651
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,679
would make housing more affordable by targeting people who cannot

652
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,519
otherwise afford homes to get homes. But by the time

653
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:37,159
you've explained that, it was easier to just say what

654
00:41:37,199 --> 00:41:39,119
Donald Trump just said. Here play this clip.

655
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 2: So when I went, I will immediately bring prices down

656
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,320
starting on day one, we will end Kamala's war on

657
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,440
American energy, and we will drill, baby, drill.

658
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,159
Speaker 7: We're gonna drill.

659
00:41:53,039 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: Okay, now, real baby drill.

660
00:41:56,079 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 7: That's the answer to everything.

661
00:41:58,199 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: Just drill, baby, you know. But but that's where you

662
00:42:03,079 --> 00:42:06,519
say it a lot on these shows, this network and

663
00:42:06,639 --> 00:42:13,079
other independent media in general, though we didn't have the

664
00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:19,119
size and scope of platforms that we have now to

665
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,320
get out the truth. And we're going to be using

666
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,639
it responsibly, and frankly, I think in a rather a

667
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,039
political fashion because I mostly talk about facts more than

668
00:42:28,039 --> 00:42:31,559
anything you know on the show. Occasionally I'll give you

669
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:34,719
an opinion, but by and large it's grounded in facts.

670
00:42:35,159 --> 00:42:38,880
But when you see that and you say, here's the

671
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,880
promise that he made now that segment, that what you

672
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:46,119
saw right there, Cohen, what he said, that's what made

673
00:42:46,199 --> 00:42:50,800
it onto every local broadcast leading up to the election. Yep,

674
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,400
they didn't cover when he'd be out there going boing

675
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,159
boing boing boing boying, or when he would be doing

676
00:42:56,159 --> 00:42:59,280
blowjobs to the microphones, and when he would be out

677
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,719
there saying man deportation, or when he would be talking

678
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,480
about Golfer's penises, and when he would be zell you know,

679
00:43:06,519 --> 00:43:08,760
he's got a big penis everybody, and I'd be I'd

680
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,800
be covering, and I'd be like, why is he talking

681
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,840
about Arnold Palmer's penis like in his speech, and like,

682
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,760
no one thinks that that's like an odd thing for

683
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,840
them to cover. You know, when he would talk about

684
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,480
the mass deportations, when he would talk about when he

685
00:43:21,519 --> 00:43:24,840
would use language that looked like the type of language

686
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,360
that Hitler used, and you'd say, that's kind of similar.

687
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,880
I mean the language right there, this is some dangerous stuff.

688
00:43:32,079 --> 00:43:36,039
When he would use the Project twenty twenty five talking points,

689
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,800
what would the media do Two things. One, they would

690
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,159
show the clip when I win, I will immediately bring

691
00:43:44,199 --> 00:43:48,159
down the prices on day one. Oh, that's the stop.

692
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,480
And then they would say, on the other hand, you know,

693
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,000
former President Biden is getting hammered in the economy today.

694
00:43:55,159 --> 00:43:58,320
That would be the package that all local media would blast.

695
00:43:58,760 --> 00:43:59,920
And I would say, I don't know, how did he

696
00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:04,079
not cover the other stuff right there? And then when

697
00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:07,880
it came to the Project twenty twenty five stuff, what

698
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,960
would they show Donald Trump denies any knowledge of Project

699
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,199
twenty twenty five. Then you would do a story on

700
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,320
like Midas Touch would do a story on it, and

701
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,039
others would say, look, Project twenty twenty five, this is

702
00:44:19,079 --> 00:44:22,320
their plan. What would they do? You would get a

703
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,519
fact check, you know, and those fact checkers that people

704
00:44:25,559 --> 00:44:28,400
rely on for a lot of stuff too, the Snopes

705
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,440
of the World or snoops or whatever it's called, you know,

706
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,880
and the network fact checkers, what would they say. They

707
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,559
would say, Midas Touch is lying. And by the way,

708
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:40,519
then that stuff like makes it to your Wikipedia page,

709
00:44:41,039 --> 00:44:44,159
like like you're not telling accurate stuff. And it's like

710
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,000
Midas Touch has been fact We were saying the accurate things.

711
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,320
We were given the warning and now you're out there

712
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,079
saying that we're liars. You know, they ran I remember,

713
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,280
you know, and Snopes has done a few fact checks

714
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,119
or Snoops has done a few fact checks on us.

715
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,119
There was one where we were like, Marjorie Taylor Green

716
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,559
was not applauding when Zelensky was giving the speech because

717
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,599
she doesn't support Ukraine, and we would get a fact

718
00:45:08,679 --> 00:45:11,320
check on it and they would say, she actually touched

719
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,840
her palms and it resembled an applause. But like, first off,

720
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,480
that's not a clap. That's not the way a clap works. Second,

721
00:45:17,519 --> 00:45:20,760
our point wasn't the clap, it is when you're a walrus,

722
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,719
by the way, our point, our point was that the

723
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,519
Maga Republicans are going to throw Ukraine under the bus.

724
00:45:26,679 --> 00:45:29,920
There was one we did where we said, basically, Rubio

725
00:45:30,639 --> 00:45:35,000
is supportive of these insurrectionists. But then they would say, well,

726
00:45:35,079 --> 00:45:38,800
Rubio actually said that he does not support what happened

727
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,920
on January sixth, but look at his behavior about what

728
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,320
he did before, and how we cheered on the buses

729
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:51,920
that were trying to like derail Biden's Biden's bus tour, like,

730
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,199
look at their behavior, look at what their acts are.

731
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,320
So the broader point is is that we now have

732
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:03,119
to be louder. We now more people watch this network

733
00:46:03,159 --> 00:46:05,360
than ever before. We have to be responsible in our

734
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,920
coverage but enough of like saying, here's what they said.

735
00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:12,679
Trump said, He's a liar, He's a fraud. That's just

736
00:46:12,679 --> 00:46:14,400
who he is. Callen two fingers salute. Do you want

737
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:14,760
to give it to?

738
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's a tough one because so many

739
00:46:19,039 --> 00:46:28,079
people deserve it. Obviously Pete Hegseth for the ongoing continuous lying,

740
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,320
for these attacks on these vessels, the fact that they're

741
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:38,280
guest lighting American Obviously Shady Vans for his ongoing continuous

742
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,719
lies during these I don't even know why you would

743
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,519
call him a rally considering what the hell are they

744
00:46:44,599 --> 00:46:49,880
rallying about. You know, Trump's not running and Jade Vance

745
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,239
has zero chance without him for anything, including dog Catcher.

746
00:46:54,519 --> 00:46:58,360
Then of course you have machine gun lips Levet, you know,

747
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:04,119
with her daily lies and the obnoxious behavior that they take.

748
00:47:04,199 --> 00:47:07,840
And you have Hassett, who sits up there like smiling Bob,

749
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:12,559
you know, the rectile dysfunction commercial guy with the small

750
00:47:12,639 --> 00:47:16,639
like yeah, yeah, people are really suffering. They're not going

751
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,239
to be able to eat in a couple of days,

752
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,440
but you know it's we're doing great thanks to our

753
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,199
incredible president. And then you have Bessin who sits there,

754
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,960
you know, and honestly everything that this group that they

755
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:36,079
think about bestn't and and others you know who are

756
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:41,440
part of his community, he's still he still is knee

757
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,400
deep with them in the lies. And so I mean,

758
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,480
I can go on with each and everyone. So you

759
00:47:46,519 --> 00:47:49,159
know what, I think the only fair thing to do

760
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,639
is there's not one who's a bigger piece of shit

761
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,880
today than the other. It is the organized dismantling of

762
00:47:58,039 --> 00:48:01,360
our norms. The fact that we can even have people

763
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,440
that are surrounding Trump, including the President, who would put

764
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,519
out something as vile as that email, right and then

765
00:48:09,639 --> 00:48:12,679
talk about it, and all these fucking assholes that are

766
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:17,639
on Fox that and on and whatever that keep promoting

767
00:48:17,679 --> 00:48:20,639
this sort of behavior that if it was your kid,

768
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,280
you would, I mean, this kid would be locked up

769
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,519
inside his room for a year until he learned how

770
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,800
to behave and show some manners. So to all of them,

771
00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:33,199
to all of these people that are participating in the

772
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:38,639
dismantling of the norms, fuck you all. We've all had enough.

773
00:48:38,679 --> 00:48:43,719
And by the way, be forewarned right now from Michael

774
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:48,079
and Ben, be fucking forewarned that twenty twenty six is

775
00:48:48,119 --> 00:48:51,400
coming with a major fucking vengeance. And when we do,

776
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,199
and when we all step up, and when we end

777
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,079
up changing the house and God willing to send it

778
00:48:57,119 --> 00:49:00,840
as well, well, that's when they're gonna understand the fucking

779
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:06,719
term accountability and rest assured that term is no democratic hoax.
