Speaker 1: Welcome to Political beat Down. I'm been mysellis joined by
our co host Michael Cohen. Where do we begin? Should
we start with? What in the world is going on
with Donald Trump's VP pick?
Speaker 2: JD.
Speaker 1: Van says more footage of him is unearthed from the past,
him saying horrible things about a threat to democracy is
cat ladies, childless cat ladies, horrific things like that. Also,
he kind of seems like almost like George Santos. But
I think even George Santos would be like a better pick.
I mean, like, who is this JD Van?
Speaker 2: I don't know. But that second clip that you just
showed a second ago, that to me is the one
that's going to I think hurt him even more, even
more than the stupid that one right there. How JD.
Vance went from thinking he was gay and changing you know,
he changed his name not twice, I heard he changed
it four times to I don't know if you saw it,
but I put out a post on X. Doesn't he
look like the kid from Two and a half Men?
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, And and there's just so many.
Speaker 2: But by the way, by the way, I don't understand
that whole article he thought he was gay but he's not.
And then there's sex on with the couch, and yeah,
the couch as a rumor.
Speaker 1: AP just to be clear, height having the couch. This
is what AP posted.
Speaker 2: No, JD.
Speaker 1: Vans did not have sex with a couch, but then
AP removed that. So now that page is unavailable. So
some of the media were asking if the Associated Press
retracted its fact check article denying it.
Speaker 2: Very easy to fight, very easy to get the answer.
I'm sure the couch had probably a child because he
doesn't believe in abortion.
Speaker 1: I guess we should identify the couch or the couches
at issue here. But look the fact, you know Donald
Trump better than just about anybody, and Donald Trump's all
about appearances and image. So the fact that his VP pick,
which was kind of pushed on him by some of
those tech bros like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk and
also by his kids, Don Junior was instrumental in pushing JD. Vance.
So now you get JD. Vance who's out there being
having to deny whether or not he had sex with
a couch. And as all of these clips are circulating
of him like picking his nose, and you know him
saying all of these like hateful things and statements that
he's for where he Donald Trump America is Hitler? So
you know Trump, what you think Trump's going to fire
this guy Cohen?
Speaker 2: Okay, So I've been asked that question now about a
dozen and a half times. And here's my thoughts onto this.
First things, First, Donald Trump does not believe that any
press is bad press, and I'm sure you've heard him
say that many many times.
Speaker 1: How we then to the couch story.
Speaker 2: No, no, So that's if it relates to him that
he is the headline story, that his picture is there
and it has his name in it. Now the fact
that Vance that Shadey Vance, his picture is all over,
whether it's having sex with a couch or making a
abominable misogynistic comment like the cat lady and being childless
when referring to Kamala Harris, or go back one second,
going back to this LGBTQ plus that he was having
an identity issue at one point in his life and
that he went from thinking that he was gay to
changing his name and so on. Look, let me be
very clear about it. This is not engendering any positive
feeling because Donald is Donald is always petrified that somebody
will get more press than him. It's not a question
about whether the press is good press or bad press.
It's about just the fact that he's getting this amount
of press. And I am certain that he is fucking pissed,
pissed right now. With Don Junior and Peter Teel, the
two people that, from my understanding are the ones that
pushed Donald into going for jd vance because the rumors
that I heard from people is that Donald was really contemplating,
believe it or not, Nicky Haley all right, and the
determination was that no, jd vance covers a better portion
of the people that not only he has, but that
he wants to get, et cetera, et cetera. This is
not going to engender any positive feelings. But here's the question, Ben,
and this is so unprecedented, how come it's everything with
Donald is unprecedented. Can he actually fire the vice president
or the nominee? Considering he received the electoral votes in
order to make him write the vice presidential nominee by
the RNC, they're the ones that ended up, I believe,
putting him forward. And then it had to I don't
know how it would work because technically he's not really
working for the president, right, and this is all part
of the RNC. The whole thing is so confusing, and
I have actually tried to look it up, but then again,
since it's so unprecedented, there's absolutely nothing on it. So
it's kind of like my speculation is worth as much
as the next guy, which is technically not worth anything
at all. How would the process go for Donald to
turn around and to say, you know what, I've had
enough of this buffoon. He's ruining the ticket. We need
to bring somebody else in. I don't know the answer.
Speaker 1: What you'd probably do is you'd have to request that
he resign, and then you would do some sort of
virtual convention where you just bring the delegates back to
kind of re rubber stamp the ticket online. Is probably
how you would go about doing it procedurally. But we
will see so.
Speaker 2: Now no, but all too But before we jump off
of this, because this is an incredible debate to have,
since it's so unprecedented, would he really resigned and turned
on and say, you know what, I'm not in a
place where I can do this or I don't want
to do it. Wouldn't that sort of be the end
of his political career, and JD. Vance has the same
sort of narcissistic desires and the same sort of personality
disorder as the guy who ended up asking him to
be his vice presidential you know, to be the vice
presidential nominee. So I don't really know. I just don't
know whether or not Vance is willing to throw away
his political career.
Speaker 1: The guy's changed his identity like four times in his life.
He changed his whole personality two years ago to get
here today. Who does that? Who changes every aspect of
your life and identity the way he did? And now
he got what he wanted and he is being shamed
and humiliated and embarrassed and laughed at on the biggest
stage possible.
Speaker 2: If it's George Santos did right, I mean, he changed
his name and identity a whole bunch of times.
Speaker 1: But George Santos is gross. It's this is way more gross.
George Santos at least had like charisma that was funny,
Like there was like an aspect of it that was
horrific and horrible and all the worst things. But like
Santos was like so bizarre and in his own mind
he kind of knew it that he played to it
so kind of afterwards there was a little bit of
a what that was really embarrassing, But like he played
to it. Now jd Vance being confronted with couches and
jd Vance being confronted with.
Speaker 2: All of this past.
Speaker 1: He is such a fraud and a phony that he
doesn't even know how to adapt to this now that
this is all surfacing. So it makes it it makes
it that much worse from his whole story is about
is bogus right? The whole thing that he grew up
in Appalachia and that he was.
Speaker 2: This hill billy.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is a fake. The guy grew up
in the suburbs of Cincinnati. He grew up in the suburbs.
He left to work in Silicon Valley. He made a
lot of money working in tech for Peter Teel. He
moved back to Ohio, created a sham charity. He wrote
this book that's all of these stereotypes on hillbilly's that
he doesn't know because he was not one. He's not
even from the place he claimed to be. So if
you actually speak to people from Appalachia, the first thing
they'll say is pronounce it right, And then the second
thing they'll say is he's not one of us. Who
is this guy? And it's all root in that. And
then he creates a sham charity over there where he
says I'm gonna help the opioid issues here and actually
does no money to opioid addiction, and he uses it
to fund his own polsters and political campaign. He funds
like one researcher, and that researcher worked for Purdue Pharma
putting oxycotton on the street. The guy is the biggest
phony that there is. And that's also why he's so
awkward up there, because there's nothing authentic about him. So
he thinks for him to be authentic Appalachia, for him
to do that, he's gonna go, oh, right, well we're
gonna we're gonna speak out against cat ladies. Oh that's
gonna make me an alpha. It makes you a moron,
it makes you it makes you an idiot, it makes.
Speaker 2: You sexist, misogynistic, jerk off.
Speaker 1: And now Cohen, the Trump campaign is on the defensive.
They're saying, oh, it's taken out of context, it's taken out.
They don't know how to deal with it, and they
look so weak. Really, you think this is.
Speaker 2: How do you deal with it? Because that issue of
infertility or inability to carry to term is not a
Republican issue. It's not an independent issue, nor is it
a democratic issue. It is an unfortunate issue that many
women in America deal with. And this is the one
thing about this is the one thing that my wife
was explaining to me before. Every single woman out there
knows somebody who has had a difficult time in terms
of conceiving, and an attack on one in this case,
is an attack on all. And that's where this jerk
off put his foot right up his own ass. And
there is no way, there is no And I put
this out in a post after I had the conversation
with my wife. I turned around and I said, he
owes every single woman in this country and around the world.
He owes them an apology. You can't. There is no explanation,
So I don't even believe he needs to provide one,
because it's whatever explanation he tries to give is one that,
just like him, is full of shit. It's phony and
it means nothing. He owes them at least an apology
because it is so low and every single woman is
understanding and sympathizing even with their Republican if they're Democrat,
or they're Democrat if they're Republican. Sister, who is unfortunately
dealing with this type of issue. All right, he really
really fucked up this time, you know.
Speaker 1: And when you start to look at you know what
his positions are. What it's very clear obviously is that
they're all just anti women. And that's the Republican platform
in general. Right, it's at every stage of a pregnancy.
It's an attack women, right, that's part of their attack
on IVF right, and then their attack on women's reproductive
rights during the pregnancy, and then and then and then
post term as well. Now they go after they call
him childless catlet. It's every portion of it. It's an
attack on women. It's anti women. And with Donald Trump,
a actual predator leading the ticket, it's just so clear
what they are really all about. And also JD. Vance
is weak. You can see it in his eyes. He
is weak. He's someone who could be broken. He's someone
who's easily manipulated. That's why Donald Trump liked the guy.
But this is a fraud, a phony. This is someone
who Vladimir Putin would lit quite literally eat up. You
know how Trump talks about Hanniballecter eating your brains. This
is a guy who Vladimir Putin would eat this guy's
brains and make him want This guy is weak, pathetic,
he's a loser, he's misogynistic, he's a phony, he's a fraud.
And there's a reason that his approval rating is like
thirty three percent, like negative approvals, the most the most
despised VP pick in history, Cohen, I mean, the worst.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look again, there's nothing here that you can say
and to you know, those that are putting in the
comments and soing. Yes, Ben and I refer to him
as shady Vance. So you have von shitzen Pants and
the shady Vance ticket. That's what you got. And the
thing that I am most curious about is it's not
as if the Republicans don't know who von shitzen Pants is.
We all know who he is by now. We have
all lived with him long enough. You don't my Maybe
my knowledge of him is greater because of the decade
plus time that I spent with him shoulder to shoulder,
and a lot of the things he says are bullshit,
But we now have a good enough understanding of Shady
Vance as well, being as Ben went through it, he's
just he's just a liar, right, and he's a phony
and a fraud and so on and everything else and
in between him, like misogynists and the sexist and so on.
How would they even still these two yutzes? How would
these two yuts is still even in a race with
somebody like Joe Biden or somebody now like Kamala Harris?
How could you put the two into the same bucket
for the same job as she And when people say, well,
you know, I don't really like her position on so
and so, who gives the shit? At this point in time,
we know who the Republican ticket is, who it consists of,
Von Schitz and Pants and shade E Vance. So why
is there even a race here? The numbers should be
as they were with this crazy amount of money that
poured into the Harris campaign close to a quarter of
a billion dollars in three days, and Elon Musk backing out. Now, yeah,
over two hundred million. Could you imagine this? Where is
a forty five million that Donald was relying upon from
Elon Musk was nonexistent. Elon Musk basically called the Mountain said, yeah,
that came from the Wall Street Journal. No, yeah, sure
it did. Right either, you didn't want to give it.
You don't want to say it to the other guy
made it up. It's one or the other. It's simply
one of the other. There should be right now, numbers
that are saying things like Kamala Harris, if the election
was held today, would Beaton, would beat Donald by forty
five points. That's the way the numbers should read because
regardless of whether there's a policy about Kamala you like,
you don't like. You don't like she's a woman, you
don't like she's a black woman, you don't like she
has Indian descent, you don't like her. The fact she
didn't show up to the net and yahoo, you know,
congressional hearing or what have you. Okay, I got it,
I got it. But as Joe Biden said, don't compare
me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative. And
there is no competition here. One person is pro democracy,
pro called with whatever bad stuff. And there are things
I don't like that Kamala Harris believes. But isn't that normal?
Am I supposed to believe what she believes? One hundred percent.
The answer is no. The answer is no. And there
are things that Donald would say that I actually agree with.
But he is kind, she's caring. He believes in equality,
he believes in normal gun control. She believes in climate change.
She believes in, you know, the advancement of all people.
She doesn't believe in providing solely tax breaks to the
uber uber rich. That wouldn't know the difference. It's a
decimal point, I mean, and many more, many more things.
So again I just don't get it. She believes in
democracy and the other guy believes in autocracy, plain and simple.
How is there even a race?
Speaker 1: Well, it shows you the pull of media propaganda out
there that pushes all of this disinformation every single day.
How these billion dollar corporations control local media. What Rupert
Murdoch's done with Fox. How the corporate media even like MSNBC,
CNN both sides the issues.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: One of the advantages with President Biden passing the torch
has actually been an ability for the first time for
the country who's not watching the Midas Touch Network to
focus on what it is that Shade Evans and Donald
Trump are saying. And if you were watching the Midas
Touch Network, which lots of people were and sharing these clips.
There were a lot of Americans who did know about this,
but a lot of Americans who got their news from
corporate media are just seeing a lot of these clips
now and they're saying, whoa, whoa, whoa what? And so, Michael,
I think we have to wait a little bit for
that to set in, because that's actually happening. That we've
had the media reporting all day on GDP growth two
point eight percent, right exceeding exceeding expectations. When have we
really heard the media talk about how strong the economy
is right now by these objective metrics. And so, because
all they've been focused on was agism and mocking President
Biden's stutter and you know, and then wondering if President
Biden going to drop out, they weren't focusing on actual
facts and issues in data, which we were here on
this network.
Speaker 2: And by by the way, do you know who else
wasn't Donald Trump and his campaign people, which is why
that they are so apoplectic right now in the fact
that Biden did the right thing, he did the heroic thing,
and he went ahead and he jumped and he stepped
aside passing, as he said, the torch to the next generation.
He is a true American hero. But remember the Trump campaign,
They're sitting back and saying, holy shit, we got this.
I can't believe it. We got this. And we don't
even need to do a lot. In fact, Donald doesn't
even need to say a single truth. He doesn't even
need to speak, and simply just allowing Joe Biden to
be unfortunately, you know, Joe Biden, based on the age,
they believe that they had it, and they had all
of these attack kids ready to go. They're all in
the uh, they're all in the can, as they so
to say. And now it's not there anymore. And now
they have this this, this typhoon, this hurricane, this this
this just fourth of nature that is sweeping out there.
And then of course you listen to Sean Hannity turn
around and say it's a sugar high. Don't worry, it's
going to you know, it's she's gonna come down and
people are gonna stop. Oh, I don't think so. First
of all, did you ever realize what a great left
that Kamala has and the way that she's able to
interject something that she says with almost like a very
whimsical type of a chuckle that's not nasty chuckle, but
you know exactly where she's going with it. You know
who actually I've seen do that and do it very successfully,
believe it or not, was Ivanka. She had the ability
to catch you with what she's saying, and then she
would say something and sort of either like smile about
it or a sort of like a very loving type
of a chuckle, and you just sort of get drawn
into it. That's what's happening. Yeah, Hurricane Kamala, thank you,
thank you, that's what she is. She's like a hurricane
right now, and they don't know how to dodge it.
They were like in paper huts, and she's just like
a typhoon, this hurricane that's just rolling right over them.
Good for her, she does. She's got a great giggle,
she's got a great authentic way about her and it shows.
Speaker 1: And I like that she's bringing the fight right to
Donald Trump. She's like, let's debate, let's go.
Speaker 2: You know, because now I don't have to be the
only one out there fighting.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well no.
Speaker 1: It's great though, to have the instant response her challenging him,
her saying, look, the American people. This is what she
said in the post. Trump agreed on September tenth to
debate and now appears he's backpedaling. Voters deserve to see
the split screen that exists on a debate stage. I'm ready,
so let's go. She's got the big she's got the
big rally sizes right now. The energy is there, and frankly,
the polls are there as well. There are some that
are mixed, but in a lot of these polls, swing
state poles and others, she's up. I mean this poll
right here, the morning consolet go back to that morning
console poll where Trump led Biden by four. Kamala is
up by one right now, and this is just over
two days. This isn't even considering like post convention, and
I think it's going to be historical convention when President
Biden gives his speech and introduces.
Speaker 3: Com like.
Speaker 1: It's going to be it's going to be incredible. And
then now we're just seeing clips like this all the time,
Like this is the JD Van's clip that people are
talking about. Jennifer Aniston, who never gets involved in politics
or rarely gets involved, she posted about this clip and
how disgusting it was, and she utilized our editor in
chief Ron Philipowski's post in her post here. Just watch
this video that Ron unearthed. You play this clip.
Speaker 4: But look, what I was basically saying is that we're
effectively run in this country, via the Democrats, via our
corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who
are miserable at their own lives and the choices that
they've made, and so they want to make the rest
of the country miserable too.
Speaker 2: And it's just a basic fact.
Speaker 4: You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Bootage, AOC. The entire
future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.
And how does it make any sense that we've turned
our country over to people who don't really have a
direct stake in it.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to ask that question.
Speaker 1: And how is that taken out of context?
Speaker 2: How is that taken First of all, people to j
they do have they do have children? I believe right
he and his partner. I think they do have children,
because I remember there was a whole thing about him
taking some time off, you know, and AOC trust me,
she'll have children right if she wants. I'm certain I'm
certain that you know there's that's not that's not an
issue and talking about I mean, this is just an attack,
a sexist, a misogynistic attack. It is a homophobic attack
by a guy who obviously, based upon what the reporting was,
has his own issues in his own head and you know,
can't come to grips with it for whatever his own
personal reasons are. And truthfully, I don't give a shit.
I really, I really don't. If he wants, if he
wants to live his fake life, I don't care. I
don't care anything about the guy. And there's absolutely nothing
that I find redeeming about him. I really believe that
Don Junior and ped Teel really screws. They They fucked Donald,
plain and simple in the choice to have this guy
as the vice presidential nominee. And you know what, my friends,
I couldn't be happier.
Speaker 1: We'll take a look though, at Donald Trump at his
speech yesterday in Charlotte, North Carolina. It's not exactly like
this is a guy who exercises good judgment. And I'm
glad the entire country and the world can focus on
these speeches. Look after these speeches, we would do a
list everyone and we would say, look at what he's doing.
He's making weird grunting noises. He's talking about Hannibal elector.
He's saying he'd rather be elected acuted than eaten by sharks.
I mean, these things get very bizarre. He changed the
words to the national anthem to a j sixth choir song.
He yells released the hostages Joe about the January sixth insurrectionist.
I mean, it's horrific stuff that this guy does.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: This was Donald Trump yesterday, and he was doing this
throughout yesterday's speech. Here played this first clip and.
Speaker 5: She goes, oh, Olympic triask mom and dad are in
the front.
Speaker 6: And I hate to do it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: My wife says, it's so unprecedential when you do that,
can you believe it? So I used to give it
a big push. For now I'm nbadle, you know, I know,
I'm embarrassed to do it. She said, Darling, your speech
was wonderful, but please do stop with the weightlifting in
the swimming. It's so unprecedential. You know, she's a class act.
But I said, but people like it.
Speaker 6: People like it.
Speaker 1: And then he did it again. Here play the clip
and then we have another one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, turn off your cameras for a second. Okay, Wait,
that's a lot of cameras.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 5: No, no, they get it up and they can't do it.
Speaker 2: Mom, I'm sorry, Ma.
Speaker 1: Then he talks about Hannibal Elector, play the clip pusens in.
Speaker 5: Jails, mental institutions, and insane as Alam's. You know, they
go crazy when I say the late great Hannibal Elector. Okay,
they say, why would you mention Hornibal Elector? He must
be cognitively in trouble. No, no, though, these are real stories.
Hannibal Elector from Silence of the Lamb. He's a lovely man.
He wants to have you for dinner. He'd like to
have you for dinner.
Speaker 2: Absolutely belongs in a presidential speech, along with the photo
over there of Greg Kelly, who, if I'm not mistaken,
lost his job at Fox from me too. I mean.
The funny thing is everything that they project onto the
Democrats is really nothing more than their own deflated sense
of themselves. It's really terrible. And you know what I
didn't I said something which some people are mistaking. I'm
not saying, not for a split second, that Kamala Harris
is not apparent right. You don't have to give birth
to a child to be a parent. She is a parent,
you know. And there are many there are many people
that have stepkids. And that's not the point that I
was making. I was making the point that dealt with
the stupidity and the misogyny and the sexism that was
coming from Shadey Vance.
Speaker 1: I want to show you one more clip right here.
First off, here's just a photo that Donald Trump's team
posted yesterday. This is a Chris las Savita said, Trump
Force one. Hey Joe, you're fired. I'm not sure if
we got this photo right here. And I thought this
was a great response to this, which is I see
a picture of hope and a picture of hate. See
a picture of a wise man and a fool. See
a picture here of a leader and a want to
be dictator, A winner and a loser. Nineteen forty four
and twenty twenty four. Trump is too old. He should
step aside. Jim Jones looks like mother Teresa. Now and
you see that photo right there of Trump looking in
as President Biden's giving this historic address.
Speaker 2: See, I would just turn around, see I see a hero,
and then I see a zero, and.
Speaker 1: Then let me just show you this one, this clip too.
This was on Fox this morning, and so Donald Trump
calls in and Donald Trump tells people, we don't need votes.
I have so many votes. I don't even need your vote.
That's my instruction to his voters. He says, here, play
this clip.
Speaker 6: We have lawyers at every pole booth we have. That's
what I in fact my instruction. We don't need the votes.
I have so many votes. I'm in Florida now and
I drove to another location yesterday and every house has
a Trump Vance sign on it, every single house. There's
not a house that we passed that doesn't. We are
we have the votes.
Speaker 1: What we do Charlie Chris House, I just said, mistake.
Speaker 6: Charlie probably has one up too, if you want to
know everybody has. It's amazing the spirit. And I'll say this.
We had two elections. The first election we did great
the section. The second election we did much better than
the first election. But this election has more spirit than
I've ever seen ever before. And that's because they've seen
how bad these people are at government.
Speaker 2: Saturday Minnesotry and next up Saturday, Minnisterta.
Speaker 6: They're destroying our country Brian destroying.
Speaker 1: No, and that's where there needs to be if no
one's destroying your country. And as Governor Shapiro said, stop
shit talking the United States of America. You've actually never
been stronger than we are now using all objective data.
And Michael Cohen, you say, how is it still even close?
It's because you have powerful propaganda networks like Fox shit
talk the country talking.
Speaker 8: About there's not a single there's not a single Parris
sign on Marvel Igle property anywhere up it.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean that's literally how delusional and how stupid
that he sounds. But can I say, you bring up
one of the best points that I have heard so far?
Why are we even allowing this dipshit to shit talk
the United States of America, even if in fact that
there's even an ounce of truth to what he's saying.
Since when do you shit on your own country and
you want to be the president of the United States.
He has not ever said a single thing positive about
this country other than what he says he's gonna do
in order to make it great again. All right. First
of all, America has always been great, and America didn't
lose its greatness, all right, there are things we lost,
there are things that we need to do to make better.
But America has always been great. It is the envy
of the world. We are the shining beacon at the
type of the Hill, and everybody wants to be America.
You know who doesn't want America to be America The
guy who's running as the Republican nominee. It makes no
sense to me at all. Zilch.

Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, it happened to have been good.
But I was looking on you know, online to see
which one I, you know, I wanted to eat, and
all of a sudden I swew this one with bacon,
and I was like, oh shit, you know I love that,
And then what could be better? I don't know, bacon
and shrimp. It was like, dude, I'm in. I'm in, Cohen.
Speaker 1: You see the new Midas Touch video we put out
earlier today. We call it Where Not Going Back. It's
really good.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Let me show it to you and let me get
your review. Let's play it.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump wants to take our country.
Speaker 1: Backward, but we are not going back.
Speaker 7: We are not going back.
Speaker 1: The tear gas was used to remove peaceful protesters from
Blafayette pard As.
Speaker 3: The president setting up this photo opp for himself dispersing
peaceful protesters is holding up a bible.
Speaker 6: This is a mass grade being dug for coronavirus. Victims
at New York City's Potter's Field.
Speaker 2: They were peaceful people. These were great people in the air.
I've never seen anything like him.
Speaker 5: A group on one side, and you had a group
and the other very fine people on both sides.
Speaker 2: You can do anything with it.
Speaker 1: Grabbing by the pursuit.
Speaker 5: I was able to terminate ro V Wade.
Speaker 1: We are not going back.
Speaker 2: Come on, that's pretty good egh, not good, fantastic, fantastic,
And that's the that's the slogan. That's the slogan Trump
had his when you know, when he won. Lock her up? Right,
how about we're not going back. Look at just the
difference in the in the rhetoric. But you know, I
keep talking about this sort of the distinction between the two,
you know, on the on my my YouTube channel, to
those of you who have joined into it, we are
on the journey to one hundred thousand. You may have
heard me say, listen, we're literally like ninety three plus
thousand so far. I mean, it's it's a it's like
a rock you know best. I mean, you know more
about YouTube than I do. I mean, it seems to
be rarely.
Speaker 1: See a YouTube channel grow that quick. If there's been
kind of any I don't think ay on the political side.
I mean we're talking one hundred thousand subs. You're on
the verge of that in basically a month, three weeks,
four weeks, right, I mean, that's really really good. At
Michael Cohen everybody, and so you do new content every day,
sometimes two videos, some days three videos, some days one,
but usually about two videos. It's a great place for
additional Michael Cohen content. So just search at the Michael
Cohen Show. That's at the Michael Cohen Show. Subscribe, make
sure you turn your notifications on there, and let's grow
Michael Cohen's YouTube channel. But that's kind of you know,
the message right there from Kamala Harris, We're not going back.
This is future focus. It's what President Biden touched upon
in his Oval Office address as well, about passing the torch.
And he said, look, I think that my record should
have meant I get another term, but I also understand
for our democracy it is time to pass the torch.
And as I was watching President Biden give that Oval
Office address, I was thinking to myself, Donald Trump could never,
would never, And it's this baton handoff for democracy that
is something that I think this historical moment will always
be remembered. You know, sometimes it's what you don't do
that is just as powerful as what you do do.
And Donald Trump, when there's crisis, he always does wrong, right.
And I think when President Biden recognized that in this
time of crisis, for him, it was time, after everything,
to step back. Even though the data to me was
suggesting even after the debate, I think President Biden would
have won. I think the data was there. I just
think he thought, look, will never be able to talk
about just the way the media coverages. We'll never be
able to talk about anything else. It's just going to
be a constant news cycle about my age. And I
as unfair as that is, I can't let that be
the discussion point right now, because this is bigger. This
is about our democracy. I mean, you don't get much
more powerful than that.
Speaker 2: Michael, No, you don't. In your head. Was incredible, how
many of our brigadors, how many of those that are
supporters of Midas Touch network, political beat down, Maya Kulpa,
My Michael Cohen show, how many of you believe that
we should ever want to go back? Right? We don't
want to go back. Every advancement brings us to a
place that makes us better. It makes us more, It
makes us more compassionate, it makes us more understanding and
sympathetic to others. Right, I mean, look from civil rights
to LGBTQ plus to now transphobia. I mean, look at
who wants to go back to a day when you know, yeah,
depending upon who you loved, you had to hide, or
if you wanted an abortion, you had to do one
in a back alley. This is what the Republicans are pushing.
This is what Donald Trump doesn't seem to get because
the people that he surrounded himself are true believing. See,
Donald's not a believer in anything. He's just a bullshit artist.
It's the people that are around him, like a JD.
Vance all right, who is a true believer, or people
like a Steve Miller, who's a fucking wackadoodle, or Steve Bannon.
I mean, these folks that he has around him, they
believe this shit that there's there should be a complete
federal ban on abortion IVF you know, METHI, presidtone or
you know. I mean, they believe this is what they believe.
Who wants to go back to that time, not me.
And that's why Ben, kudos to you and to the
brothers and to everybody there at the network themselves. That
ad I hate to say it as great as MTN is,
that ED doesn't just belong on this network. It belongs in.
It belongs literally out there on every station with the
MTN at the bottom, but it belongs to the station
because I think every American who sees that there's some
aspect to what you showed in those various different clips
that touches on the soul of each and every person.
For me, there were two that stuck out. All of
them touched me, but the two that really is, of course,
the January sixth attack on the capital. Because you've heard
me say this before I worked there. I worked there
in eighty seven and eighty eight. One of my favorite
things to do whenever I'm in DC is just to
walk around the Capital. It is one of the most
magnificent it is. It's why it's called the People's House.
And then the other one, of course, was Charlottesville, when
you had these white supremacists, these neo Nazis screaming Jews
will not replace us as the son of a Holocaust survivor.
It's so offensive to see a man who I regarded,
who I worked for, turn around and say the stupid
shit that there are good people on both sides. There
are no good Nazis. Let me be very clear about that.
There are no good Nazis, you know.
Speaker 1: Let me just give you some additional data points. So
earlier in the day, this is what Vice President Kamala
Harris said about debating. Here's the video of her on
the tarmac. Let's play the clip. She said, I'm ready
to go? Is Donald Trump scared?
Speaker 2: You scared? Donald? Here? Watch this listening to Vice President Harris.
Speaker 3: So sorry, previously agreed upon September tenth debate. He agreed
to that previously now at Pearcey's backpeddling. But I'm ready,
and I think the voters deserve to see the split
screen that exists in this race on a debate stage,
and so I'm ready, let's go.
Speaker 2: Will you do it?
Speaker 5: On?
Speaker 1: Are One of our producers made this graphic, Michael Cohen
von Shitzen Pans Shady Vans twenty twenty four. I'm just
not sure this is a winning ticket. When he pulls
up the graphic, I'll show you in a moment, I
think you will. You will definitely enjoy Jeremy, get that
when you can. In the meantime, I just want to
share you.
Speaker 2: So, Jeremy, I have that trademarked.
Speaker 1: You gave us a license in perpetuity on that. Here's there,
it is right there. Cohen, Cohen, your reaction. Cohen, your
reaction to this campaign, so my reaction twenty four gor action.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so one quick change, please, Jeremy, it's p
A N t Z. It's not with an S. He's Germany.
It's von Schitzen pints and it's with a Z, So
please make that correction. Otherwise, genius I told you Jeremy
was a genius and salty and and Sidney you got
you have geniusness over there. It's too bad. It's it's
too it's too bad. Stuff like that needs to go viral.
So again to brigaders. As soon as I get them
to send that to me, I'm putting it out there
on my social media and I'm gonna ask everybody right
to turn around and to repost it.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, one of the things I think I
want to reflect on that I want to give everybody
these data points though, is that with all of the frustration.
I think that's putting it lightly. With corpor media out there.
It's everybody watching this that built this. I mean, like
you and I are blessed that we get to do
this as a job. We get to be messengers at
the Midas Touch Network. Right, you know, I quit my
law job. I do this full time.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I get to spend some time with my little doggies
in the background that you see, and I get to
spend time with all of the brigaders and the Midas
Mighty out there. But this media network is not possible
without you. And just think about what you've built just
over the past forty eight hours. I mean those big
JD Van stories, the diet mountain dew story. You know
who clip that Ason ac Yn and he's a producer
at the Midas Touch Network. The story that when a
JD Vance the clip that was unearthed of him talking
about childless cat ladies running the country. That was Ron
philip Kowski, our editor in chief, your editor in chief
who found that. So because of your contributions, your support,
you're spreading the word. You subscribing to this YouTube channel
and the other channels we've built this like you've created
the network that you've always wanted. So when you've been
pissed at this network or that network not covering it,
you've contributed to building this, which I think is a
testament to the power of a grassroots movement and a
community and doing this organically and building this brick by
brick the way that we did. Here's the press release
that Kamala Harris just put out moments ago. Statement on
a seventy eight year old criminals Fox News appearance. After
watching Fox News this morning, we only have one question.
Is Donald Trump okay? Main takeaways Trump gave to the
American people. Trump praised Project twenty twenty five. Trump is
flustered and lashing out. When Trump wasn't lying, he was
making threats. Abortion bands are good mail in voting is bad.
Praise dictators because he wants to be one. Trump is
clearly worried he made the wrong pick.
Speaker 2: In JD.
Speaker 1: Vans, Trump is old and quite weird. This guy shouldn't
be president ever again. If anyone wants an alternative, Kamala
Harris is offering one.
Speaker 2: And people do the act.
Speaker 1: Blue posted that since Sunday afternoon, small dollar donors have
raised over two hundred million dollars site wide on Act Blue.
The unprecedented amount shows an energy and commitment to the
grassroots movement is what will help Democrats win across the country.
In November, the New Morning consult Paul that just came
out from July twenty second to twenty twenty twenty four
Kamala Harris forty six percent, Donald Trump forty five percent,
and the last one Trump was up by four to
President Biden. You look at Wisconsin bowling, you look at
Michigan poling, and Kamala is surging there as well. And finally, now,
as the Southpaw account says, the thing about a vibe
shift is you get headlines that CNN and others would
never have written about ten days ago, like this one.
The US economy is pulling off something historic, expanding at
a robust two point eight percent rate in the second quarter.
The economy is about to stick what's called a soft
landing fifty one months of the fastest annualized GDP growth
since nineteen sixty nine. The US economy has now been
in an expansion for fifty one months, with annualized real
GDP growth of four point five percent over that time,
the US economy is humming. GDP growth exceeds expectations, and
despite the catastrophic pandemic, we're now ahead of projections from
twenty nineteen. Even with the pandemic, we're still exceeding the
expectations because President Biden steadied ship and the Biden Harris
administration was able to achieve this. Those are real numbers.
That's real data right there, folks. And then let me
show you President Biden's speech in the Oval because I
thought this is the contrast between Donald Trump going when like,
that's what Trump does at of speech. Do you know,
my friend Hannibal Lecter, he'll eat your brains. Compare that
to President Biden's speech in the Oval Office where President
Biden said, look, I believe my record as president merited
a second term, but nothing's going to come in the
way of saving our democracy.
Speaker 2: Here. Play this.
Speaker 7: When you elect to meet to this office, I promised
to always level with you, to tell you the truth,
and the truth sacred cause of this country is larger
than any one of us, and those of us who
are cheers that cause cherish has so much, the cause
of American democrays mus united to protect it. You know,
in recent weeks has become clear to me that I
need to unite my party in this critical endeavor. I
believe my record as president, my leadership in the world,
my vision for America's future, all merit of the second term.
But nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving
our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So I've decided the
best way forward is the past, the torch to a
new generation. That's the best way to unite our nation.
You know, there is a time and a place for
long years of experience in public life, so there's also
a time and a place for new voices, fresh voices, yes,
younger voices, and that time and places.
