Speaker 1: Welcome to political beat down. I've ben mycellas joined by
Michael Cohen Cohen. Each and every day this cognitive meltdown
of Donald Trump gets more severe. You and I have
been covering this though for a while now. We've been
covering his speeches. So whether he's praising Hannibal Lecter, the
fictional cannibal, or whether he's out there talking about being
eaten by sharks, he's been saying this in his campaign speeches.
When he started that first speech, think about this in Waco,
Texas on the thirtieth anniversary of the Waco Siege. Donald
Trump launched the campaign in Waco to pay homage to
those who were domestic terrorists then and now to the cult.
That's where he chose to start it, and that's when
the corporate media started normalizing it. And you and I
were saying, what in the world do you y'all see
he's in Waco, Texas right now changing the national anthem,
heck Cohen, When do you think the corporate media is
going to pick up that he's changed the national anthem
to the j sixth anthem and then they're all going
to be like, whoa where did that come from? I
don't know. Maybe if y'all do your damn job, you
would know that. But from Waco, Texas to the Capitol
Hill Club in Washington, DC, this has been a disaster
for Donald Trump, but frankly a disaster and embarrassment not
just for the Republican Party but for our country. Cohen
that this exists, That's why we have Political Beatdown to
call it out and to push back against all the disinfall.
Speaker 2: How great would it be if mainstream media or the
news would report things the way Midas Touched Network does.
I mean, it would be a very very different. Now,
I'm not referring to, of course Fox News, Oh way
In or Newsmax. I'm clearly referring to here Political Beatdown,
my Maya Culpa podcast, Legal af, Myself's brothers, right where
you're gonna where you get the oh God, where you
get the you know, the raw and unfiltered truth about
what the heck is really going on there? And when
you talk about how you know it's not just an
embarrassment to our country, to our you know, to the
or to the Republican Party, but to the country. I
would even expand it and say we're becoming almost like
an embarrassment to the world when you have a person
who's going to be the leader of one of our
two political parties referencing time and time and time again,
a fictitional character in a very psychological thriller, you know,
murder scenario meaning Hannibal Lecter, silence of the lambs. I mean,
this is who you're referring to when you're in a
political speech, something that doesn't exist. I mean, it's it's
so bizarre, it's so batshit crazy, and you can even
see the faces or you see the body language of
the people that are there at these various rallies. When
he starts to talk about, you know, Hannibal Lecter, they're like,
what the fuck right? You know, what is he talking about?
But then he'll say something wacky or stupid, and then
they laugh as if by saying something wacky or stupid
it negates the fact that he just spent five hours
talking about the great Hannibal Lecter. I mean, who is
he talking? Do you know, Ben? Do you know what
Donald's favorite movie is?
Speaker 1: What's his favorite movie?
Speaker 2: The Deliverance? Which, again, when when we'd be on the
airplane and he'd be like, well, we're gonna watch the Well,
we watched that, going, why are we watching? Let's watch
something else. So then we'd watch The Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly, the Clint Eastwood movie, which also happens
to be it fantastic movie. But when he starts talking
about The Deliverance, Listen, there's there's a lot about that movie, right,
the banjo in the woods and so on. Squeal like
a pig. I mean, I don't know what it is,
but he loves that movie. There's something very seriously wrong.
The only difference in those days, In those days when
his mental faculty were significantly better than they are today,
it wouldn't openly discuss it as he does now, let
alone at political rallies.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, while you have Donald Trump at the Capitol Hill
Club ranting about Hannibal Lecter, talking about potentially having romantic
relationships with Nancy Pelosi and saying what a horrible city
Milwaukee is, which is where the Republican National Convention is
going to be, Like that's what he was doing today.
On the other hand, you have President Biden at the
G seven where he met with President Zelenski of Ukraine.
They signed a ten year security agreement which includes the
supply of Patriot and squadrons of aircrafts, including F sixteen's,
And so you have President Biden at the G seven
actually doing things that we expect leaders to do. Now,
if for whatever, which.
Speaker 2: Is it's so nuts, time out, A time out I'm calling.
I'm calling a fucking timeout. I'm throwing the flag for
a second here, salty, would you do me the favorite
police of going back to the She says, holy crap,
can you go back to the very first slide that
you just showed? He at this one? I mean from
Trump to House Republicans? Right? Nancy Pelosi's daughter, who, by
the way, I've met Alexandra she is an incredible documentarian.
Is a wacko? Noh, she's not her daughter. First of all,
Nancy Pelosi's daughter is a wacko. Her daughter told Is
he told on Nancy Pelosi? Or is he talking about Alexandra?
I can't make it out here, but her daughter told me,
if things were different, Nancy and I would be perfect together.
There's an age difference, though. What is he helped me
out here? What is what is the wackadoodle? The former
wackadoodle in chief actually saying? Here is it is it
Alexandra that he's talking about, because there is Alexandra's more
my age, you know, than Nancy. But what the hell
is he talking about here? I mean again, it just
goes to the level of insanity that this man is
spewing day in and day out. And by the way,
I hope that Salty has a has the video of
Donald walking down the steps. He's so scared that he's
actually going to fall because his balance is not nearly
as good as it used to be. If you watch,
his n buckles actually turned white as he's walking down,
holding on to the to the banister. Meanwhile, I think
there's all of five or six stairs in the entire
in the entire you know, in the entire place. So
IF's Salty, if you have that, show it, because it's
really going to show that he's really, he's really on
a serious decline. And you're right, Let's now compare that
to Joe Biden, who whatever you want to say, Joe
Biden's old. Okay, so is Donald at the same point
in time. You know, Joe Biden, you know, fell off
a bicycle. Yeah, meanwhile, he's still riding a bicycle. I mean,
it is really comical when Trump goes on these rants
along with MAGA attacking Joe Biden when he's there right
now doing things that not only benefit America but show
America's strength around the world, versus Donald Trump, who's talking
about either having a relationship with Alexandra or with Nancy Pelosi.
Either way, I don't understand where that reference is even
coming from.
Speaker 1: Well, look, here's the thing. If you disagree with President
Biden's policies at the G seven, and you want to
which I happen to agree with President Biden's policies. I
agree with the support we are providing Ukraine, I agree
with our support of NATO. I agree with President Biden's
foreign policy. But if you're part of another political party
and you disagree with something, I don't know. Maybe you
think that there should be more F sixteens, Maybe you
think there should be less F sixteens. Maybe you think
that the funding is too low, maybe you think the
funding is too high. Maybe you think that there should
be some alternative approach to how the funding takes place. Now,
Michael cod that's at least a normal political discourse. That's
at least a normal discussion. You can come with your facts.
I'll come with my facts, which are well researched. We'll
talk through the recent sanctions by the Treasury Department on Russia,
how that is impacting the Russian economy. We can talk
about America's policies with its oil reserves and how that's
broken down OPEC, and you can have you could articulate
counter positions. We could maybe try to find agreements, or
maybe we'll just agree to disagree, but we can have
intellectual debates and discussions on this issue through a framework
of what's best for our country, through traditional political lenses
of we support democracy, we support NATO, we support our allies,
and that's politics. Politics is not that it shouldn't be
that we have one political party now, the Democrats that
stand for democracy, whose leader is at the G seven
discussing very serious issues and entering into very important deals.
And on the other hand, you have one political party,
the Republican Party, that's become a cult, whose leader is
talking about Hannibal Lecter is musing about having romantic relationships
with Nancy Pelosi and calling Nancy Pelosi's daughter a wacko.
As part of this ranting and raving, saying that the
Department of Justice are dirty, no good bastards. He goes,
this is what Trump says. They're dirty, no good bassard.
And Taylor Swift. Why why doesn't Taylor Swift support me?
Why is she endorsing the dope he doesn't know how
to get off a stage and then telling stories about
getting eaten by sharks or being electrocuted, or talking about
connections to MIT because he has an uncle who taught
there and stopped teaching in nineteen seventy five. The point is,
and this is how we started this episode, that the
corporate media has normalized a very weird and deranged and
unhinged politics as just the other side.
Speaker 2: And it isn't.
Speaker 1: It's not even politics what that is. It's freaking deranged
cult behavior. It's not republican. It's just weirdo cult stuff.
And we need to all unite, put on our objective
caps and call it for what it is and recognize
the existential threats. And I just think today's another good
example of that code.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, let me be clear about something. I want
to refresh everybody's memory. You may recall in twenty the
sixteen for that election, it wasn't Taylor Swift who was
the big name as it relates to social media and
so on, it was Kim Kardashian. And you may remember
the relationship that, especially now that Ivanka has fostered, as
did Jared with Kanye to the extent that believe it
or not, that Jared's brother is actually one of the
initial investors in Skim. I mean they've really I mean
they're really entrenched into each other's family. But right now,
it's not Kim Kardashian who is what media is talking
about as the we'll call it the Queen, Right, it's
two people. It's Taylor Swift and Beyonce. You have those
two on the Q be right. If you have those
two on your side, you could only imagine just how
strong you can be with social media. That's what Donald's
looking for when he's sitting there and he's putting out
there on social media. Why would Taylor Swift support Joe
Biden and all the nasty things that come with it, right,
and question Taylor swift support for Biden. The reason is
because if hypothetically Taylor Swift came out with a statement
saying that she supports Donald, you could only imagine how
that would explode on social media, and all he cares
about is his name in lights, right, he doesn't care
you know what she stands for. He doesn't know what
she stands for. In fact, if he knew what she
stood for, he would understand that there isn't a prayer,
a prayer of a chance that she would support somebody
who thinks, especially about women, misogyny, sexism, rape, xenophobia, homophobia, islamophobia,
anti Semitism. These are not ideals that Taylor Swift, you know,
is a part of. In fact, she is the exact opposite.
And so the notion that Donald thinks he can put
out a tweet or a post or whatever the hell
he wants to put out and think that he's going
to bring Taylor Swift to his side because he's questioning
why is she going to support Biden, and that he
thinks that she's beautiful, which, by the way, nobody needs
him to tell us about her looks. You know, she's
a beautiful young woman. She's an incredible, I believe, talented
young woman. Notice he doesn't talk about her incredible talent.
He talks about her looks because he's superficial that way.
It is so absurd that he thinks by putting out
a post that he's going to change her mind and
that he's going to go ahead and get her to
switch it to now come out and support him. It's
as delusional as his conversations or his comments about Hannibal Lecter, sharks,
boats run by batteries, electrocution, and the rest of the
crazy shit that he spews day in and day out.
Speaker 1: Here's the main page of the highest distribution newspaper in Wisconsin,
the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Trump calls Milwaukee a horrible city
weeks before RNC comes to town. And just think about it,
Donald Trump has called whether it's New York, Chicago, Iowa,
now Milwaukee. He basically says the same thing about all
American cities. And then they tried to pivot and say, oh,
he was talking about the crime in Milwaukee. Well, the
crime in Milwaukee is down fifty percent in the past
two years. The crime was higher, of course when he
was in office, but crime is down in Milwaukee. So
they tried to make all of these excuses for him.
But that's what he does. He goes around city to
city and he attacks the cities, and he attacks America,
and he says, what a bad country America is it
couldn't be a better gift for Vladimir Putin and our enemies.
By the way, Christine Pelosi writes, speaking for all four
Pelosi daughters, this is a lie. His deceitful, deranged obsession
with our mother is yet another reason Donald Trump is unwell, unhinged,
and unfit to foot anywhere near her or the White House.
And in light of all of this, Cohen, what I
want to show all the brigaders right now, everybody watching
this network, though, is that Donald Trump saying these things
is not new. I think it is new that finally,
after we've kept on reporting on it over and over again,
finally corporate media can't hide it anymore. As we get
closer to November, which, by the way, you and I
said that was going to happen, that all's going to
be like, they.
Speaker 3: Don't do the national anthem at Republican events anymore. They
do the J sixth anthem. What he's calling them hostages.
When did that happen all the time? Starting all the time?
That's when, So.
Speaker 2: Take a look at this.
Speaker 1: Here's this is from Trump this past weekend where he
tells that story about Mit and he says that makes
him smart, and he talks about how he'd rather be
electrocuted than eaten by a shark. I want to play
this for you, But then what I want to show
you is this is actually part of his campaign speech.
It wasn't like it wasn't like that just came out
of nowhere. That's part of what he says when he
goes around the country. So first let me show you
from this past weekend in Las Vegas. Let's play that clip.
Speaker 4: So I said, let me ask you a question, and
he said, nobody ever asked this question, and it must
because of Mit. My relationship to Mit. Very smart. He goes,
I say, what would happen if the boat sank from
its weight and you're in the boat and you have
this tremendously powerful battery, and the battery is now underwater,
and there's a shark that's approximately ten yards over there
by the way. A lot of shark attacks lately, did
you not under said a lot of shok I watched
some guys justifying it today. Well, they weren't really that
angry they bit off the young lady's leg because of
the fact that they were they were not hungry, but
they misunderstood what who she was. These people are great,
he said, there's no problem with sharks. They just didn't
really understand a young woman swimming now who really got
decimated in other people to a lot of shark eText
So I said, so there's a shark ten yards away
from the boat ten yards or here? Do I get electrocuted?
If the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery,
the boat is sinking, Do I stay on top of
the boat and get electrocuted? Or do I jump over
by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will
tell you he didn't know the entry. He said, you know,
nobody's ever asked me that question. I said, I think
it's a good question. I think there's a lot of
electric current coming through that water. But you know what
I'd do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted.
I'll take electrocution every single time. I'm not getting dear
the shark.
Speaker 1: So we get But just so you see that that
is part of his speech. Let me show you several
months back, and I could show you multiple other examples
of this. Let me go several months back in Iowa,
Donald Trump slurring his words starts again riffing about how
he'd rather be electrocuted to death than eaten by a shark.
Here play this clip.
Speaker 4: But if I'm sitting down and that boat's going down,
and I'm on top of a battery on the water,
start sweating in I'm getting concerned. But then I look
ten yards to my left hand. There's a shark over there.
So I have a choice of electrocution or shark. You
know what, I'm going to take electrocution. I will take
electrocution every single time. Do we agree, Yeah, I will
take electrocution.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yay, everybody starts to agree. Listen, let me say
something about this, Ben, please, This dumb fuckery of the
orange mandarin Mussolini is so stupid. Clearly, whoever the genius
was that he was talking to, who clearly thought that
this was It's a great question. It's a great question.
Nobody ever asked it before. No one ever asked it before,
because it's so fucking stupid that there's not there's not
even a response that anybody can. Let me explain to
you why this is dumbfuckery. First and foremost, a battery,
assuming that there was a battery big enough to power
a massive boat like he's talking about, right, and the
boat is going down and the battery gets wet. There
is not a constant current which is running through that
battery that would cause an electricution. You see, it's not
the same Donald as if hypothetically you have what everybody
has always seen in some of these horror movies where
somebody has a hair a hair dryer attached to ready
for this one, an electrical socket. You know what that is, right,
that thing in the wall that has what's called an
electrical current that is ongoing, constant and repeating itself. Right
when you throw the hair dryer in, what are you doing?
You're creating a contact between the socket, between the current
that is continuing and the water, right, which is a
conductor of electricity. The battery here is not connected to anything.
The notion that that battery has a self containing current
is so absurd, it's so stupid that it defies logic.
I truly hope that if this stupid shit comes up
at the upcoming debate with Joe Biden, and if I
was Joe Biden, I would already be thinking of how
am I going to bring in this issue? This dumb
fuckery which I wish Biden would call it at the debate.
I know he won't because he's not vulgar like I
am in that respect, but I would if I was
on the stage with Trump, I would turn around, I say,
I would turn around with it with a question. I
would say, you do realize that the statements that you
continuously make about batteries and sharks is tantamount to dumbfuckery
that without an electric without an ongoing and continuous electrical current,
your whole theory, mister uncle went to MIT sixty years ago. Right,
makes absolutely no sense, and it defies something that you
defy over and over and over again, the existence of
this crazy thing called science. Right, you have no idea
what you're talking about. You didn't understand science as it
related to COVID, and you certainly don't understand science as
it relates to batteries.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, though, Cohen so, Donald Trump shows
up on Capitol Hill. He speaks with the Maga House
Republicans at the cap at Hill Club. He says, Milwaukee,
where we are having our convention, is a horrible city.
He says Nancy Pelosi's daughter is a wacko. Her daughter
told me, if things were different, Nancy and I would
be perfect together. But there's an age difference. He says
that the Department of Justice is a bunch of dirty,
no good bastards. He whinds about Taylor Swift not supporting him.
He praises Hannibal Lecter. Right, I mean, if President Biden
did any of those things, he'd probably lose my support.
I know, like he'd be done, he'd be over right.
But this is how the Associated Press covered Donald Trump's
arrival in Washington, DC today. Now, Associated Press, Right, they're
supposed to be right right down the middle. That's how
they brand themselves. Right, They're just reporting the facts and
what's happening. Here's how the Associated Press just wrote about
all of the things that we just talked about, which
are just quite frankly, as crazy and as unhinged as
it can be. But according to the Associated Press, Donald
Trump made a triumphant return to Capitol Hill on Thursday,
his first with lawmakers since the January sixth, twenty twenty
one attacks, embraced by energized House and Senate Republicans who
find themselves reinvigorated by his bid to retake the White House.
Also just look at that photo right there. Zoom in
on the photo right there, and this, Michael Cohen, is
everything that is wrong with corporate media that wants to
lead our country into a Hitler like fascist regime. It's
why we have to create this thing. This is why
the Midas Touch was created. I don't know like how
you could objectively say the things that just went down
and have somebody come up with that description unless your
sole goal is to have America taken over by a dictator.
Now I want to talk about that with you. I
also want to talk about what President Biden's been doing
and a lot more. But we got to take our
first quick break of the show. But but but but
but Before doing that, I want to thank everybody who
joined us on that incredible Patreon meeting.
Speaker 2: How much fun can I say? Before we go to
very quickly, the rumor on the street is if Donald
gets back into the White House that he is going
to remove George Washington from the one dollar bill and
he's going to place because you know that he's fixated
on sharks, he's going to place Jabbajaw. In case any
of you remember like I do, He's going to replace
Jabajaw with George Washington. Everybody knows that that's going to
be on your one dollar bill. Jabijua. Well there you
have it.

Speaker 1: Welcome back. This is Political beat Down. I'm Benmycellas joined
by Michael Cohen. You know, I saw a lot of
people who were talking about really enjoying the zoom meeting
we had on our Patreon, and so if you attended
the zoom meeting and you're here right now, tell the
other people who may be thinking about joining if you
think it's worth it. So to all of our Patreon members.
I know sometimes people may be on the fence, So
if you're in the comments, and you are a member
of the Patreon share with others. Whether you think it's
worth it or if you think it's a waste. Whatever,
you be honest and tell others what you think about it,
because there may be people saying should I join? Should
I not join? One more time, it's patreon dot com
slash political Beatdown. We got a great comment too. I
saw during the break and it reminded me. So this
is from Vic, and Vic says Stormy Daniels actually said
that Shark Week was on the TV in the background
during the less than one minute when she and Donald
Trump were whatever, and that she that he had made
her actually watch Shark Week while he was in the
hotel with you.
Speaker 2: You know, if we can go back. I don't think
that's the one that you really wanted to read. I
think you wanted to read the one underneath from Michelle Petrillo.
Michael has the best smile, and it's good to see
him smile. Well, thank you, Michelle. I think it's more
important than the fact that Trump doesn't realize that Sharknato
is not real, right, and that you know, and that
you know, yeah, he is absolutely just obsessed with sharks.
And I don't know why, considering he doesn't go in
the ocean, but neither he nor there.
Speaker 1: And then I just wanted to fact check that. So
I saw some of these articles from the New York
magazine Intelligencer, the time Stormy Daniels exposed Trump's weird shark phobia.
And then this one was from Vulture March twenty six,
twenty eighteen. Stormy Daniels says her alone time with Trump
included watching a Shark Week documentary. So there I thought
there were those those deep seated shark issues, and that
reminded me of that as well. Then there's the third
comment there, Michael from Heather b says, Michael, what the
heck is wrong with Trump? Is this dementia or is
he bipolar?
Speaker 6: Or what?
Speaker 1: Well, you've you've been with him more than almost anybody
from the past. You see him, Now, what what do
you make of it?
Speaker 2: Well, let me let me be clear that Donald Trump
is not bipolar, right, And you know that's a very
serious condition. And you know, I don't I won't even
you know, get into it, uh, you know, to poke
fun because it is it's it's a condition that ruins
certain people's lives as far as I'm concerned, is it dementia.
I think it's definitely some form of early onset of dementia,
something I believe that both his parents suffered from. But
I'm not a psychiatrist. I'm certainly I'm not a doctor either.
You know, I'm a disbarred lawyer, right, so far from
me to turn around and to give him a medical diagnosis.
But one thing I can turn around and tell you
without it being medically related, is that, you know, this
goofball is back shit crazy.
Speaker 1: I want to go also to you know, we talked
about how Trump keeps on bringing a Panibal Elector. He
brought up Hannibal Elector today once again at this speech
at the Capitol Hill Club, and then the Associated Press said,
what a triumphant visit it was, What a triumphant visit.
Trump's return was where he talks about Hannibal Elector and
how he attacks the city of Milwaukee and says it's
a horrible city and talks about being in a romantic
relationship with Nancy Pelosi and calls people bastards. According to
corporate media, that's that's triumphant in their view, versus calling
out How could you imagine what the headline would be
from Associated President if President Biden got up there talking
about Hannibal Elector over and over again. But I just
want to show you, though, that that's part of a
pattern with him, and so he talked about it, for
example in that Wildwood, New Jersey event, where he talks
about Hannibal Lecter over and over again. Here let me
show you this first one just so you see from Wildwind,
New Jersey, where he brought up the late great Hannibal Elector.
Let's let's play that clips.
Speaker 4: But if I'm sitting down and that boat's going down
and I'm on top of a battery on the water,
start sweating in how I because that's a vicious thing.
I said, that's silence of the limb. You know that
is Has anybody seen silence of the lamps?
Speaker 2: Hannibal Elector? How great an actor was he?
Speaker 4: You know why I like him because he said on
television on one of the I love Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: So I love him.
Speaker 4: I love him. I love him.
Speaker 2: He said that a long time ago. And once he
said that.
Speaker 4: He was in my camp. I was in his camp. Yeah,
I don't care. If he was the worst actor, I'd
say he was great to me.
Speaker 1: Just so you know that last one was not the
Wild Wind New Jersey one. That's him speaking in Iowa.
I just want to show you that he goes around
the country talking about Hanniballecter. He also goes around the
country in his traveling fascist circus events and he tells.
Speaker 2: The Anthony Hopkins Ben, can someone fact check that did
Anthony Hopkins say that Donald Trump is fantastic?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident that he's never bless you. And then
Donald Trump. Then Donald Trump goes goes around and says
it is part of his speech, he tells the story
about a one of his kind of demeaning his attacks
on the transgender community is that it's like unfair competition
in the weight room. So he tells the story about
how he says a woman's like lifting weights, and then
he describes the woman lifting weights. And this is part
of his speech where he goes up there in front
of his crowd and he like makes this noise, so
you know, like why that's the pretext of the story.
But then he goes up there and he's like, and Colin,
I know you've commented on this before, but this is
this is part of the speech you play.
Speaker 7: It, and they're proud, they're clapping, they're going, I can't
do it, Mama can't.
Speaker 1: Just so you see he does that in the other one.
Here's just another speech where he does that. Let me
show you that. Let's play it.
Speaker 2: And just bad news. Bad things are happening. Eh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: And then he talks about how he thinks he has
a better body than President Joe Biden. Here, play this clip.
Speaker 4: He's got a consultant somewhere. This is the worst consultant
in politics that thinks he looks good in a bathing suit.
Right now, he spends so much time at the beach,
you know, how do you do that? And you know,
I have a much better body than him, But I'm
not really sure that I want to expose it with
the sun blaring down and a sand, the surf, the wind,
you know, I mean, you know, it's not a pretty side.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's just not normal politics. That's that's that that behavior.
That's not triumphant. That's not normal.
Speaker 2: I think on the debate, Joe Biden should turn around
and say I'm prepared to go shirtless in front of
America if you are. I mean, you know, I mean
it may get you know, X rated where they're gonna
have to like, you know, blocked out you know Donald
Trump's chest. But I can short you right, it doesn't.
You don't even have to take off the shirt to
realize who of the two of them, right, you know,
is is in better shape? Right? I mean, you know,
one guy's big you know big exercise is lifting a
double cheeseburger, you know, a big mac with cheese to
his mouth. The other guy actually gets onto a bicycle,
you know, he takes his long walks and YadA, YadA.
I mean, come on, you know it's it's ridiculous. It's
like turning around and it's almost like as ridiculous as
you know, anything I've ever seen. I mean, there's a
thousand and one examples each and every one of us
to thinking about in our head right now, I mean,
stop it, right, Why would you go after the one thing,
especially that you know is not true. You want to
turn around and say, Okay, you know I'm a better
businessman than Joe Biden. I've made more money than Joe
Biden over the course of my fifty plus years of business. Okay, okay,
you know there are things that we can all say
about how he made his money and so on, But
that would probably be a true statement. But it's almost
like Trump saying to Arnold Schwarzenegger or to Sylvester Stallone,
that I have a better body than you do. You know,
there are people that go to the gym, there are
people that ride bicycles and do things for their health,
and then there's Donald Trump who doesn't believe in exercise.
Here's something that's interesting, and I've heard him say it
many many times, and I guarantee if you fact check it,
you'll find it too. But Donald Trump does not believe
in working out. He doesn't believe in going to the gym.
Because ready for this one, Brigaders, you can't make this
shit up. And this is true, and I really hope
that a few of you out there start to google
it and check. Because every human is born with what
Donald considers to be your life energy, right, and if
you use up that life energy by going to the gym,
then you die earlier. He truly believes that.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 1: All right, let me show you from Capitol Hill, though,
what the Magga Republicans were saying, and compare that to
what the Democrats have been saying. So this is just
so embarrassing.
Speaker 2: So this is.
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green's response following Donald Trump speaking at the
Capitol Hill Club. Yes, it is a very weird cult
to your play this club.
Speaker 9: I really found his speech to be one of my
favorite speeches. He came in, talked to the conference, was
very honest, he was funny. He was joking around constantly
with everyone. He was really sweet to me. He said
to Speaker Johnson, he goes, okay, you got one more seat.
You need to be tougher. He saw me. I was
sitting back a little ways. He saw me in there,
and he was like, hello, Marjorie. He's always so sweet
and recognizes me, and he said, are you being nice?
He was joking and are you being nice to Speaker Johnson?
And I said eh, And he said, okay, be nice
to him. And I nod in my head.
Speaker 4: And then.
Speaker 1: It's some weirdo stuff.
Speaker 5: You know how Sometimes I sometimes I just it.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I let's see it check Michael Cohen found it. Okay,
this is from CNN. Crystal. There you go, all right.
He turns right back to the batteries. Other than golf,
he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person like a battery.
Let me let me do it in dondlap, like a battery,
is born with a finite amount of energy. Right, And
this is Evan as knows in a piece entitled how
Trump could get fired that appeared in the May eighth
edition of The New Yorker. All right, this was by
Chrystalizza on May fifteenth of twenty seventeen in CNN. Right.
I mean, you cannot make this stuff up. This, This
just goes to a point that this man is so
fundamentally flawed, that his thinking is so fundamentally flawed, that
we are all born with a certain amount of life
energy and therefore expending it stupidly in a gym, right,
which obviously what he's saying, because he plays a lot
of golf, that golf is not really a sport that
you expend too much energy on, but going to the
gym would, and that would of course shorten your life.
But then again, like I said, goes right back to
this whole thing about batteries and batteries and sharks and
sharks and batteries. Amazing.
Speaker 1: You know, when I see clips, when I see clips
like that from Marjorie Taylor Green or some of these
other magga Republicans and then I see like the Associated
Press right a headline, and like the stuff that Donald
Trump is saying is just the most crazy deray things.
Sometimes the way I just feel it or I try
to explain it, it's like being in a zombie movie
and like the zombies like keep getting new people, and
it's just like to get these zombies away from like
what are you talking about? Like could we just be
could we just be normal? And like they're just trying
to reach out and get more and more Americans to
like think that this crazy stuff is is normal. And
then like you find out that one of your friends
or someone that you knew is like buying into this
like life energy crap or you know, saying the shark
stuff or you know, repeating all this crazy you know
this crazy trumpy and stuff. And it's just like the
zombies got another like this is crazy. We just got
to stand up for our country. And I just think
sometimes though, they want us to feel that this craziness
and this unhinged dystopian American carnage vision of America is
unstoppable and that that's gonna take over, and they want
us to feel there's nothing we can do. And the
part of what they want to do is take away
our power by just thinking that this craziness is never
going to end. And look, I sincerely believe, sincerely believe
that the true silent majority of this country just wants
normalcy and just wants democracy and just wants to not
have these magas go after their freedom. And I just
think it is so important on this brigader community to
go out and to and to just tell the truth
and just to let people know what's up and what
the facts are and what's really going on here. And
I'm glad we have pro democracy Democrats, the Democratic Parties
now the party of law and order by far, the
Democratic Parties, the only law and art party, the old
party that supports democracy, and the only party that supports
your freedoms. Period.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm supportive of it. Those values a little.
Speaker 2: Then I know why Donald likes Marjorie Taylor Green and
Marjorie Toilet Green cares for von Schitzen Pants because they
are both bleached blonde, bed built, butch body and they
remind one another of each other. And there's no doubt
that that's got to be the reason because I can't
think of anything else that puts the two of them
in the same voat in the same category.
Speaker 1: I want to say this too. This from a new
Gallup poll. A record high percentage of voters told Gallop
that abortion is the issue that will determine their vote
the selection cycle. Nearly three quarters of those single issue
voters are pro choice, or as I call it right now,
pro freedom and keeping away the maga Republicans from taking
away women's reproductive freedoms and rights. Let me just share
with you some of what the pro democracy Democrats are saying,
because you know this always motivates me as well when
I see this new group of Democrats in Congress who
are fighters, who are pushing back. Here's congress Member Eric
Swalwell saying, I just want a show of hands. Here,
a show of hands. Here, watch what he has to say,
play this club.
Speaker 10: I want to talk a little bit about judicial bias,
because they've suggested that there's a bias that occurred in
this case Ambassador Eisen in Donald Trump's other case where
he's alleged to have stolen national security secrets. Who is
the judge who appointed the judge to the bench in
the Southern Florida federal case.
Speaker 8: Unlike the Special Council in the Hunter Biden prosecution. Who
is a Trump holdover? David advice. That was the last
minute to referring back to our history midnight appointment, you
can call it by Donald Trump of Judge Eileen Cannon.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 10: Donald Trump is complaining about bias in his case and
he's on trial for stealing national security documents.
Speaker 2: With the judge that he appointed.
Speaker 10: That's interesting. I didn't hear any of you all talking
about that. Well, let's talk about the Supreme Court, who's
deciding whether he has absolute immunity and can send the
Navy seals to kill any of his opponents, as he
alleges in his arguments that he can do. One judge
is flying an insurrection flag in solidarity with the insurrection
on January sixth that tried to overturn Donald Trump's loss
in the twenty election. Another judge's wife was at the
President's speech on January sixth, right before the insurrection occurred.
Speaker 1: But and then let me show you the other one
that I wanted to show you. Here, play this clip just.
Speaker 10: To show a hands for anyone in the room who
hung out with a felon today? Hey guys, i'd want
to hit your hands up. You're hanging out with convicted
felon Donald Trump. I don't think anyone on our side did,
but that's why we're here.
Speaker 1: I want to show you congress Member Adam Schiff. Here's
what he had to say. Play the clip.
Speaker 6: I want to begin by quoting the jury in the
Manhattan hush money payment trial.
Speaker 11: Guilty guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty.
Speaker 6: This was what the jury pronounced, unanimously on every count.
My Republican colleagues don't really contest Donald Trump's guilt. This
is the fascinating thing. Their argument is, essentially he should
never have been prosecuted, or they falsely claim it was
a political prosecution when they falsely claim it should have
been a misdemeanor, not a felony. But they don't contest,
not really, that Donald Trump was making hush money payments
to a porn star to hide their affair from voters.
What they're really saying is they're more than comfortable electing, nominating,
and electing as the president of the United States someone
making money payments to a porn star. The party formerly
of the moral majority is now I suppose, hoping to
fashion some kind of immoral majority to reinstate Donald Trump
as president.
Speaker 1: Powerful stuff, right there, eh. And then just to prove
the point, though Cohen, here's Maga, Republican congresswoman's spars, and
what she says is that now Americans are all very
worried that if they make hush money payments to porn
stars and falsified business records, they could be prosecuted. So
that's what Maggo was talking about today at the hearing.
Here listen to congress women spars.
Speaker 12: Interestingly enough, I've been talking about intimidations, threading in and disinformation.
I would say, you know, I'm not an attorney. I'm
actually a CPA and being involved as finances for vera
long time, and I think a lot of Americans should
be intimidated and warrit if they pay to attorney and
put a legal expense and they can have thirty four
felony counts for that. That is true intimidation, That is
a true what the law is, you know, So that
would make anyone very nervous.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: But ah, zombies, Cohen, get these men that it's like zombies,
right doing You talking about.
Speaker 2: People nobody knows, including Congresswoman's Sparks, including Jim Beg Jordan,
including Marjorie Toylet Green. They're all it's look, they're all
doing what they do best, and that's kissing the orange
ass plain and simple. I mean, no, she's not drunk,
and she's not high. She's just in the cult, plain
and simple. And you know, look, as we sort of
come to the hour here on political beatdown, I thought
long and hard about this one about who deserves today
the two fingers salute. And no, it's not Congresswoman's spars
it's not Jim beg Jordan again, it's not Marjorie Toylet
Green again. It's not going to be Donald Trump again.
In fact, I'll tell you who gets the two finger salute.
All of these fucking idiots that keep going to his
rally and every single time he says something absurd, insane, racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic,
anti Semitic, and they laugh about it, and they egg
him on as if this is some sort of a
fucking comedy cafe that they're attending instead of a political
rally where you're supposed to be talking about what you're
going to do to benefit the American people, what you're
supposed to be doing in order to protect America and
to do more for the American people, as opposed to
what the American people can do for you. To all
of you idiots wearing the red hats that are helping
to hide your lobotomy scars.
Speaker 1: Fuck you, Michael Cohen. A lot of people in the
chat want to find a way to get a signed
copy of your books. I've been getting a lot of dms,
a lot of messages. You and I should figure out,
you know, maybe we make it available on Patreon or
otherwise and figure out a way to do that big.
But I just want to acknowledge everybody's requests. You and
I will figure out however we want to do it.
You can figure out the best way Cohen to do it,
and then we'll report bast week. But one way possible
is to put a link to like a secret site
to buy it on Patreon just but alternatively, we can
figure out another way, maybe do an auction.
Speaker 2: You and I have been.
Speaker 1: Talking about some of the stuff offline. We'll get back
to all the brigaders sometime next week with a plan
that's acceptable to Cohen and that's acceptable to the brigaders
and makes everybody happy. But we hear you on that request.
I want to thank everybody who joined that Patreon. It helps.
Let's face it, you know, the competition is funded by
deca billionaires who are pushing out disinformation. So the fact
that we fund this through Pro Democracy sponsors Patreon and
things like that, you know, that's that's our way to
keep this truly independent and to also find a way
to keep building. So patreon dot com slash Political Beatdown
and heck, it's also very fun to have those zoom
meetings with you. I really enjoy those greatly. I want
to remind everybody as well to subscribe to Mayaculpa Blue.
Some great guests there as well, not red Blue. Easy
to remember right there, it is Michael Cohen's a cuppa
search wherever you get your audio podcasts, and the same
thing search and download Political Beatdown on audio podcast too.
It helps us with the rankings on the Apple charts
and that goes a long way to just to help
the show. A reminder as well, store dot Mitas Touched
dot com is where you can get all the best
pro democracy gear, but especially the Maya Culpa Mara Lardo
Correctional Facility shirts, the original, the authental ones, the exhibit
that was introduced during the cross examination of Michael Cohen.
There it is one hundred percent union made on what else.
Speaker 2: We're going to do, Ben. I think what we'll do
is we'll figure out maybe we'll do like five or
ten of those shirts and I'll sign them with a
big giant you know marker, you know for somebody. We
can either auction them off for uh maybe we'll do
something also, whether it'll be on Patreon or will do
it just through our Political Beatdown. But that's a great
idea between the books, you know, signed or maybe the shirt.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. Also reminder today the
brother the Midas Touch podcast I do with my Brothers
will be live at eight eastern five Pacific. Don't miss that.
Just again eight eastern five Pacific and Cohen it's great
to have you back beat down Brigaders. It's great to
have all of you here in this chat. We're so
grateful for all of you and helping us continue to
expand this pro democracy community. I feel confident right now,
I feel momentum. I feel there's a lot more work
that we have to do together, a lot more work,
but I feel good. Let's keep kind of a steady hand.
Let's focus on the work ahead of us. Let's always
remember that we have each other in this community. We
could lean on each other, and we're so grateful for
everything you do. So thank you, thank you, thank you.
Shout out to the Brigaders, Shout out to the Midas Mighty.
