1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to Political Beatdown. I'm Ben Mysell has joined by

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,279
the one and only Michael Cohen. Even my dogs who

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,279
are by my side are excited for this episode. Right now,

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,079
we're gonna discuss Michael Cohen's reaction to everything that has

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:24,839
transpired since Donald Trump was arraigned in Miami Federal Court.

6
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:28,480
I want to get Cohen's reaction. Remember we were broadcasting

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,320
live during the arraignment. Now we've had the opportunity to

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,240
learn everything that's gone down since that arrangment. We're going

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,240
to talk as well about how the GOP has been

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,280
exposed yet again, lying about President Biden admitting that this

11
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:50,520
recording they claim existed of Biden bribing someone connected to

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,240
Vladimir Putin. Guess what, it never existed, doesn't exist. Rudy

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,600
Giuliani saying, oh, whistleblowers are dead now and that's why

14
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,920
just complete and total bs are moderate Republicans turning against

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,079
Donald Trump. We will analyze that. Let's turn to some

16
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,799
of the hearings that happened this week in the House

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,040
of Representatives, which once again backfired on the GOP, as

18
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,480
did the GOP effort to try to censure and find

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Democrat Adam Schiff for investigating Donald Trump for Trump's Russia connections,

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,439
and a federal judge in New York granted Eging Carroll's

21
00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:30,200
motion to amend her other lawsuit against Donald Trump with

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,640
new allegations based on Trump's recent defamatory statements. And the

23
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,000
federal judge just set a trial date before we went

24
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:41,920
live for that other trial. That Ejen Carroll still has

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,519
another defamation trial that will be January fifteenth of twenty

26
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,599
twenty four. Michael Cohen A lot to discuss. How are

27
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,319
you doing?

28
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,239
Speaker 2: Oh? You know, how am I doing? So?

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: I spend some time the other day over at sixty

30
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:02,640
centers Street, As I explained a couple of days ago

31
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,920
to our brigaders, I went there for pre trial conference.

32
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:11,039
It turns out that Council for Trump and Trump Oregon

33
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,479
this specific case, they filed the whole series of motions

34
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,840
and limony. Again, it's all about the delay, right. It's

35
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:22,479
almost like somebody should fig figure out this song. It's

36
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:25,680
all about the delay, about the delay, about the delay, right,

37
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:28,000
somebody needs to write us a song for this one,

38
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,800
because they think that they have this thing down packed.

39
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,159
Speaker 2: They don't. We now have to go.

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,479
Speaker 3: Back July seventh in order to meet with the judge

41
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,280
for the pre trial conference. But our our trial is

42
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,919
scheduled for July twenty fourth, and it is set in stone,

43
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,120
you know, looking forward to it, and to be honest

44
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:53,400
with you, you know, part of our schedule at the

45
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,400
pre trial conference is going to be to set up witnesses.

46
00:02:57,759 --> 00:03:01,639
And there are some pretty interesting names that are going

47
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:06,560
to be released on you know, on our witness list,

48
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,800
because they're imperative to this case. Obviously you could imagine

49
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,599
that Donald happens to be one of them. Now, clearly

50
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,319
they're going to try to argue that there's no nexus

51
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,120
any longer between Donald the Trump organization in New York.

52
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,879
Will see how the judge rules on that. But other

53
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,639
than that, it's been a long journey to hold Donald accountable.

54
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,800
You know, I was on CNN the other day and

55
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,879
I was talking with Abby Phillip, And even before Abby,

56
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,840
I was on another CNN program where I explained the

57
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,280
problem that exists with Donald is he does not understand

58
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:55,000
the word accountability. So therefore he has never done anything wrong.

59
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,000
Because if you do something wrong, obviously you have to

60
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:00,840
be accountable for it. And so the whole thing is

61
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:04,280
just like a dog running after its tail. It's a vicious,

62
00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:10,280
vicious circle cycle. Well, what we're seeing now is Donald

63
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:14,879
being held accountable as an example for the e Gene Carroll,

64
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:20,079
you know, assault, and he was fined, as you may

65
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,360
well remember, five million dollars. But this idiot, I mean,

66
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:26,600
and there's no other way to describe him other than

67
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:31,800
an idiot. After less than twenty four hours, goes off

68
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,680
and now he's at the town hall, the CNN town

69
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,360
Hall with Caitlin Collins, and he starts saying the same

70
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,839
exact things that he just got set.

71
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: What do you call it that the jury just.

72
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 3: Came back with the verdict on of five million dollars,

73
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,279
and of course that was broken up between several different

74
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,519
parts of the case, but let's just say five million

75
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,680
dollars as the civil fine. He goes on, he says

76
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,839
the same thing. Well, today, you know, the judge allowed

77
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,240
a new case to be filed or to amend the

78
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:08,199
existing complaint to add additional defamation costs. This is how

79
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,959
I described it yesterday. Is Donald is like a petulant

80
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:16,240
child that just for some unknown reason wants to keep

81
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:21,079
sticking his finger into the electrical socket. Now, despite the

82
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:23,240
fact that we all know that you're going to get

83
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,079
hurt from it, the same way Donald knows by saying

84
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,959
these things he's going to get hurt. He still wants

85
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:35,000
to stick his finger into the socket, to the metaphorical socket. Well, no,

86
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,360
it's stupid, and there's nobody around him that has the

87
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:43,480
balls enough to say to him, Donald knocked the shit off, right,

88
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,839
you're hurting yourself, not just in this specific case, not now,

89
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,839
in the fact that she's gonna bring a second defamation

90
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,319
action against you, considering she already won the first. So

91
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,120
it's kind of res judicata, right, I mean, the thing

92
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,639
already speaks for itself, and she could use the earlier

93
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,279
determination is a basis as a cause of action for

94
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:07,040
the second case. So she will then go ahead and

95
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:11,040
follow this, which she's now permitted to do. This defamation case.

96
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,800
He keeps wanting to stick his finger into the electrical

97
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,000
the proverbial electrical socket, and nobody could figure out why.

98
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:23,120
On top of that, there was statements that were allegedly

99
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,480
made in regard to the document, the mishandling of the

100
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:32,000
document case, that there were lawyers that were there telling Donald, hey,

101
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,959
just send the stuff back what are you doing send

102
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:39,480
the stuff back it's not yours. But of course Donald

103
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,439
only listens to one person, and that's himself, But he

104
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:46,480
will listen to you if, in fact you agree with

105
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,800
his knee jerk reactions. So look, there's so much that's

106
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,759
going on, Ben for us to be talking about. All

107
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,079
I can say to you is this is going to

108
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,600
be one ass exciting show.

109
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: And so just to break it down so everybody knew

110
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,399
what you were talking about at the outset, you have

111
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,680
a case that you filed against the Trump Organization for

112
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,600
fees that they owe you, correct, and that's the case

113
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:13,920
that's headed to trial July twenty fourth. When you talk

114
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:18,920
about Donald Trump filing or the Trump Organization filing all

115
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:23,720
of these motion elimonades, those are basically pre trial motions

116
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:27,759
to try to exclude evidence from coming in. And your

117
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,639
point there is that all of these pre trial motions

118
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,439
have now been filed. We commonly refer to that, or

119
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,240
you may hear about it as like they're trying to

120
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:40,519
paper the case to death. Basically, right, they're trying to

121
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,839
do everything to derail your case against Donald Trump, which,

122
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:47,279
by the way, you know we're talking about it here,

123
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:49,079
which is important because it's going to be getting a

124
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,560
lot of attention. I mean, the Trump organization and Trump's

125
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,519
failure to pay you. That case is going to trial

126
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:58,120
July twenty fourth. As you mentioned, of course, Donald Trump

127
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:01,600
should be a witness to the case. He's probably the

128
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,160
key witness, and in fact, I think a strong argument

129
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,759
to make that he should definitely be a witness is

130
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,040
the fact that he filed a frivolous lawsuit against you

131
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,759
as well in the Southern District of Florida in the

132
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,759
Miami Division. Coincidentally.

133
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,879
Speaker 3: Where is it this endemic of exactly what's going on

134
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:25,000
with all of these other cases.

135
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:27,279
Speaker 2: I mean, it isn't it.

136
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: It's the fact that he cannot get lawyers in order

137
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,039
to represent him. It's simply because he doesn't pay. This

138
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,600
is all par and parcel for how Donald Trump acts

139
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,679
and how he behaves. He doesn't pay, even when he

140
00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:46,440
knows that he owes it. Even when you do a

141
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,120
good job, it doesn't matter. It just it makes it

142
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,399
harder for him to say that he's not going to

143
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,159
pay when he screws up, and when or when that

144
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:57,360
lawyer screws up and they don't win, which in his

145
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,879
mind is a screw up when he doesn't win. For him,

146
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:02,279
it's an easy one to turn around and to say

147
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:07,440
that I'm just not going to make a payment. Okay, great,

148
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,480
you know this is the problem. This is why he

149
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,600
cannot find someone of competency to represent them.

150
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:18,159
Speaker 2: Now he does have, you know, Todd Blenche.

151
00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: Well respected lawyer, you know Chris Keyes, and so I

152
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:24,320
don't know who's going to be representing him. According to

153
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,480
the transcript, they do claim that they will be there

154
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,240
for the trial and for appeals and so on. Chances

155
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:37,480
are I don't buy it. I'm certain that they probably

156
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,360
went ahead and they probably got their money in advance.

157
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,720
But not only does he not pay you, he's an

158
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,240
incredibly difficult client. He likes to do things the way

159
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:53,039
he wants. The problem is, not only does he not

160
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,399
understand the law, he doesn't appreciate the fact that there

161
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,039
were rules, that there were procedures. He doesn't care. He

162
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,960
wants what he wants. Again, going right back to the

163
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,919
metaphor of the petulant child.

164
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,159
Speaker 1: You mentioned Chris Kiss, who Donald Trump's political action arm

165
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:16,039
back last August or September paid Christopher Kist three million

166
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,720
dollars and Christopher Kiss had a reputation of being a

167
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,799
fairly well respected lawyer in Florida. He was the Solicitor

168
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,320
General of Florida. There. He is right there and Christopher

169
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,240
Kiss went to Donald Trump in the fall of twenty

170
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,879
twenty two with a strategy, which is, let's reach a

171
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,600
settlement agreement with Merrick Garland. Let's try to kind of

172
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,360
tune things down a little bit, Let's try to ease

173
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,960
a lot of the you know, conflict taking place. And

174
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:49,159
let's go there and let's try to offer a deal.

175
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,200
It may not be a great deal that you know

176
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,480
that you're gonna like Donald Trump, but you're gonna have

177
00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:57,480
to admit that you did certain things wrong. But in return,

178
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,600
they're not going to prosecute you. And I believe this

179
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,679
is what Christopher said.

180
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,919
Speaker 3: O'donald ever acknowledged that he did something wrong. This is

181
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,919
a man who said on Fox that he's never apologized,

182
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,559
he's never asked for, you know, forgiveness from God because

183
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,360
he's never done anything wrong. I mean, that's truly an

184
00:11:21,399 --> 00:11:25,679
amazing thing for somebody to say, and to say with

185
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,639
legitimate conviction that he believes he's never done anything wrong,

186
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:35,799
he was never mean to anyone, He was never inappropriate

187
00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:40,240
with somebody, He never screwed somebody over. He never you know,

188
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:44,080
did something that he was sorry for, not even his

189
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,360
own siblings. He never got into a fight with his

190
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:51,080
siblings or anything like that. He's unapologetic for anything. You know,

191
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,240
this same exact topic of the Washington Post article whereby

192
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,960
this idiot, this former idiot in chief had an opportun

193
00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:05,399
tunity to avoid all of this, but instead he fought

194
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,840
he had to buck the system. Why, because that's who

195
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:11,600
Donald Trump is, you know, salty. If you have my

196
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,399
clip with with what do you call CNN, if you

197
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,639
can play it's it's exactly the same exact opic. He

198
00:12:19,759 --> 00:12:24,279
doesn't learn, and it's insane. It's truly insane that this

199
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:27,480
man wants to be the president again of the unsay,

200
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,000
do we not learn our lesson the first time?

201
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: Please?

202
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 4: Do you think in your mind that he was ever

203
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:37,759
going to opt for an option of taking a settlement

204
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,679
instead of battling this out in public.

205
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: Now?

206
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: So Donald's position is never to settle ever, because he

207
00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:50,639
thinks it's a sign of weakness. Unfortunately, he didn't have

208
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,799
anybody around him to guide him properly. He's like a

209
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,720
petulant child that just keeps sticking their finger into an

210
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:00,519
electric socket. And then you keep saying, don't do it,

211
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,960
you don't want to do it, you don't want to

212
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,399
do it. But nevertheless, he's gonna do it anyway because

213
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,600
in his mind he knows better. And then you have somebody,

214
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,840
for example, like a Boris Epstein, who will turn around

215
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:13,919
and will say to him, yeah, you're right down, stick

216
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,000
your finger into the socket. It's good, it's good, you

217
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:18,960
can do it, instead of guiding him like many of

218
00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:21,159
us used to in the past and say.

219
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: To him, no, you can't do that.

220
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 3: All right, turn to think about how many of these

221
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,720
matters right now would not even exist had he listened

222
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,519
to somebody who was providing him just a sintilla of

223
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,720
good advice, just a sintilla.

224
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: And I think we a lot of people look at

225
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,600
this and wonder was anybody telling him to just give

226
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,000
the documents back? And this reporting really confirms that people were.

227
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:49,320
And according to the Washington Post, this was just one

228
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:52,480
of several times that those lawyers tried to move a

229
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,240
Trump to prevent what basically unfolded in court. When you

230
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,799
hear that, I mean, what do you think and got

231
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,879
Trump to the point where holding onto documents was more

232
00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:07,600
important than staying out of real legal jeopardy.

233
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: Here, First of all, I don't buy the nonsense that

234
00:14:12,039 --> 00:14:14,559
people were telling him not to hold on to it.

235
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,879
Speaker 2: Number one, he wouldn't listen.

236
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,759
Speaker 3: But number two, nobody really has you know, the cajones

237
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,080
enough to turn around and to tell Donald that you

238
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,799
need to send it back. In fact, the proof in

239
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,879
the pudding is that you had people like Evan Corkran,

240
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,080
or you had people like kath what's your name, Bob

241
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:37,200
the other attorney who signed as the David's to the government,

242
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:42,840
Christina Bob Right, stating that they had searched the premises

243
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,919
that there were no documents that were left on mar

244
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,000
Al Lago or in other locations that Donald had control.

245
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:53,799
Speaker 2: And Cohen.

246
00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:58,519
Speaker 1: There you mentioned Boris Epstein and Evan Corkran. But one

247
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,720
of the voices Donald Trump has been consistently listening to

248
00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:05,159
is someone who is not even a lawyer, somebody by

249
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,000
the name of Tom Fitten, who wears those really tight

250
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:12,679
shirts that he can't fit in, and he starts a group.

251
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:15,679
He has a group called Judicial Watch, and they're the

252
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,360
ones who filed this lawsuit against the National Archives. He

253
00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:24,519
lost this lawsuit Fitton did in twenty twelve. The court

254
00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:27,799
found there was no jurisdiction at all and found that

255
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:32,840
the underlying premise of this matter involving former President Bill

256
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:38,200
Clinton's handwritten notes relating to his autobiography. The court said, well,

257
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,519
the National Archives is saying those are personal records. Clinton

258
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,360
saying it's personal records. This happened twelve years ago. It's

259
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,320
not like classified information. He's not stealing national briefings. These

260
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,440
were personal records that Clinton took and put in a

261
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,840
draw so that he could write his autobiography. And the

262
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,879
court laughed Fitten out and the case was dismissed against it.

263
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,720
That's when Donald Trump talks about the Socks case. He goes,

264
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:07,480
the Socks case is precedent. The Socks case isn't precedent.

265
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,320
First off, it's a district court opinion. It's not a

266
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:12,840
Supreme Court opinion or a circuit court opinion.

267
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: And not only is it.

268
00:16:13,799 --> 00:16:18,159
Speaker 1: Not precedent, it's not persuasive authority because Fitten lost. And

269
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,559
if anything, it goes against all of Donald Trump's theories

270
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:25,039
because we were talking about personal notes that were written

271
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,879
by Clinton in connection with a personal autobiography, not stealing

272
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:32,559
classified records. But that's the voice Fitten the Socks case,

273
00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:35,200
and it just goes to show you though, not just here,

274
00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:39,960
but Donald Trump listens to people like Fitton who run

275
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,279
everything into the ground. That's how he runs the country,

276
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:44,279
ran the country.

277
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:49,559
Speaker 3: And yet there's still a large group of people that

278
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,639
will turn around and tell you, even though we know

279
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:57,159
that Donald is accountable and was it seventy percent sixty

280
00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:01,159
eight seventy percent of the country leaves that Donald Trump

281
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,400
should be charged with mishandling of these documents, that does

282
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,160
not negate the fact that there's still millions of people

283
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,720
that are supporting him. I mean, it is amazing. And

284
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,119
what really gets me and really angers me is the

285
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:24,319
equivalency that there are so many of the Trump acolytes

286
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,319
or Donald himself when he gets up and he speaks

287
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,680
at these rallies, of these restaurant tours, whatever it is

288
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,240
that he's doing, they use these equivalencies in order to

289
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:40,960
justify what Donald did. So they turn around and they say, well, listen,

290
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:46,359
should Donald Trump be held accountable as stated in the

291
00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:52,960
thirty seven count indictment against him by Jack Smith, Should

292
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,079
he be held accountable for the mishandling of these of

293
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,599
these classified documents, these top secret documents, And they say, well,

294
00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:05,119
what about Hillary Clinton, what about George Bush, What about

295
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,240
Barack Obama?

296
00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: What about Bill Clinton?

297
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 3: And so I'm not really sure that I understand the

298
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,400
argument that they're making. If in fact that it is

299
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,000
determined that Joe Biden failed to return the documents obstructed

300
00:18:20,319 --> 00:18:24,160
justice in the same manner to which that Donald Trump did,

301
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:27,559
which I can assure you is not accurate. It is

302
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,400
not true. And we know that because he never had

303
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,680
Affid David signs stating that the documents that were in

304
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,680
his possession have been returned, when in fact that they weren't.

305
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,759
What we do know is that when he located these documents,

306
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:46,400
he's the one who called the National Archives, called NARA,

307
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,079
and had them come we do a complete sweep of

308
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,359
his property to check to ensure that there's nothing else

309
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,359
that you don't see or hear people saying, well, Joe

310
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,680
Biden turn around and said, don't go into those boxes.

311
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,680
My boxes, just say that there's nothing into them. Right.

312
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,839
This is the problem with Trump. He doesn't believe in accountability,

313
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,119
doesn't believe in rule of law, doesn't believe in the Constitution,

314
00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:16,440
has an authoritarian mindset. He is an autocrat wannabe. He

315
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:19,960
is a monarchical individual and at the end of the day,

316
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,359
this is not going to bode well for him. He

317
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,160
will be held accountable for this. Now everybody's attacking Judge

318
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,759
a Leen Cannon that she's gonna delay, she's gonna do

319
00:19:31,759 --> 00:19:35,279
Donald's bidding. I'm not so sure that they're right. I'm

320
00:19:35,279 --> 00:19:40,279
really not. I and again for me not being the

321
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:43,920
more pessimistic of the two of us, all right, in

322
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,799
terms of the DOJ especially you know judges, because I

323
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,480
have a real issue with the way my case was handled,

324
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,759
I can tell you I do believe that after the

325
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:58,200
first go around, after you get slapped the way that

326
00:19:58,279 --> 00:20:02,880
she did, for that improv her determination on the raid

327
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:06,720
of the Mara a Lago property and the obtaining of

328
00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:10,440
the documents to make a determination whether they were or

329
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,720
were not attorney client privileged, I think that she's on

330
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,279
a very straight and narrow I don't believe that she

331
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,400
wants to destroy her reputation, and I do believe that

332
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:29,000
her judgment and that her decisions will be in accordance

333
00:20:29,079 --> 00:20:32,359
with proper fair judicial outcome.

334
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: I think you give Judge Eileen Cannon a lot of credit.

335
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:39,440
She was overturned the first time by the Eleventh Circuit

336
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,799
Court of Appeals, and then she still did not remove

337
00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:45,920
herself from the case. Back in twenty twenty two. It

338
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,680
had to take a second order by the Eleventh Circuit

339
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,480
Court of Appeals compelling that the case be removed from RCUs.

340
00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:55,839
She never had jurisdiction in the first place, so to

341
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,440
be overturned twice. And then why I disc agree with

342
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,640
you here is that if she was following the law Cohen,

343
00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:07,599
she would have self accused, okay, and she didn't.

344
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 3: And she didn't do anything wrong yet not yet. You know,

345
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:15,079
let me see, if it was yesterday, it was overturned, right,

346
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,000
she was, she was reprimanded. Let's let's at least give

347
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:21,200
her a chance. And now I'm not saying that I'm right,

348
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:24,079
and I hope I am and I hope you're wrong

349
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:30,240
simply for judicial process. But if in fact I'm wrong,

350
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:31,960
and I will be the first one to come clean

351
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,759
and say, hey, I finally got one wrong, I do believe,

352
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:38,960
all right, that we have to give her that opportunity.

353
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,960
You know, this was not as some people want to say,

354
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:48,160
because everybody today is somewhat conspiracy. You know, theorists. She

355
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:52,160
did not fix the wheel. They spun the wheel and

356
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,079
her name came up. Just shit, luck, all right, it

357
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,440
is what it is, so all of a sudden Now

358
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,279
it's that they had the thing fixed, and that Donald

359
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,039
only wants her, and that she's the one that's going

360
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,039
to set things right for him and so on. I'm

361
00:22:08,079 --> 00:22:09,319
not so sure about that.

362
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm really not.

363
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: Let's geek geek out with me a little bit on

364
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,039
the law here. I want to look at twenty eight

365
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,359
US Code, section four fifty five. We'll go to one

366
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,359
forty four in a second saltee, but go to four

367
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:27,000
fifty five Disqualification of Justice, judge or magistrate. And it

368
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,039
has sub section A which says, any justice judge or

369
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,920
magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify it should

370
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,200
be himself herself for themselves in any proceeding in which

371
00:22:39,279 --> 00:22:45,519
his her there impartiality might reasonably be questioned. So Cohen,

372
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:49,240
the standard there is in did she affirmatively do something wrong?

373
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:50,559
Speaker 2: The question is.

374
00:22:50,599 --> 00:22:55,519
Speaker 1: Would there be an appearance of impropriety based on a

375
00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:59,160
reasonable reasonableness standard? Go to sub section B.

376
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:02,559
Speaker 3: Why you jump off of that, let's just talk about

377
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:04,119
that the question of reasonable.

378
00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: It's one of those terms, like the term.

379
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: Normal, define reasonable, say it's in whose opinion? So as

380
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,519
an example, let's say, hypothetically, instead of Judge a Leen Cannon,

381
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:22,440
that it was Judge Ben Mice ellis all right. The

382
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,519
first thing that they would say is, well, you were

383
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:31,839
appointed by Barack Obama. Therefore you cannot be impartial, and

384
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,720
so you should recuse yourself under this standard. People can

385
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:41,240
say that doesn't mean it's true. So the reasonablest standard

386
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,160
is a really tough one. It's so broad that it

387
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,039
really has very little meaning.

388
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,279
Speaker 1: But the appointment in and of itself is not to me.

389
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,119
What creates the appearance of impropriety? It might, I mean

390
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,839
she was appointed by the post.

391
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,599
Speaker 2: What did you just say? It might?

392
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,319
Speaker 3: That's all that you require under that specific code, which

393
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,759
is why I say it's so broad, Ben that anybody

394
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:08,519
and again whose opinion?

395
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: Michael Combs, I don't think.

396
00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:13,759
Speaker 1: So then then to me where it's But then where

397
00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:17,119
it goes from it might to I think it does

398
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:20,839
create the appearance of impropriety. Is the fact that she's

399
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,000
now overturned twice by the eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals,

400
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,480
not just in any case in a case involving the

401
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:33,680
criminal defendant. Here in a case involving Donald Trump in

402
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,839
connection with a search warrant executed at mar A Lago

403
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,960
that led to this criminal case being filed, where it

404
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,680
was determined by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeal her

405
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,119
supervisors that she didn't just get it wrong or make

406
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:53,759
a mistake right, that she affirmatively acted unlawfully in asserting

407
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:56,880
jurisdiction in a matter that she should have had and

408
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,319
it happened twice, And I go to the Eleventh Circuit

409
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:02,119
Court of Appeals precedent in the two thousand and eight

410
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,200
case United States versus Martin, where a federal District court

411
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,240
judge who was overturned twice by the Eleventh Circuit Court

412
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,079
of Appeals on a sentencing matter was reassigned and removed

413
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:17,599
from the case because they consistently didn't follow the Eleventh

414
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,160
Circuit Court of Appeal law regarding a specific defendant. But

415
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,200
to me here it's kind of one plus one equals too.

416
00:25:24,759 --> 00:25:27,599
On the one hand, she was appointed by Donald Trump,

417
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,440
So to me, that creates a borderline feeling of an

418
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,720
appearance of impropriety. But then number two, she's made rulings

419
00:25:35,759 --> 00:25:38,839
regarding the person that appointed her that was deemed to

420
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,079
be unlawful twice. To me, that creates an appearance of impropriety.

421
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:43,759
Speaker 3: So now the.

422
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: Question, though, is she's not self accusing. So the question

423
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:51,559
becomes what does Jack Smith do? Is Jack Smith as

424
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,680
optimistic as you are, Michael Cohen and says, you know what, I'm.

425
00:25:55,559 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 5: Not optimistic, I'm hopeful, hopeful right because Jackson, I agree

426
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,000
with you with everything to say, your interpretation of this

427
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:12,920
code is probably correct, and I am probably incorrect.

428
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to be hopeful.

429
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 3: That the system is not as fucked as we all

430
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:24,440
believe that it is. That there are some judges that

431
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,799
you will never get a fair shake if you're Donald Trump,

432
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,079
and then there are other judges that you will get

433
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,599
an unfair shake because you're Donald Trump.

434
00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:34,319
Speaker 2: My hope is.

435
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: That the system rebalances itself out, that we're able to

436
00:26:38,759 --> 00:26:42,039
get back to a place where I hate to use

437
00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:44,960
the term because it's not a real term, but normal,

438
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,480
that we go back to the way things used to be,

439
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,359
that when you went to a judge, that the judge

440
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,000
was judicious, that they acted upon the law. They didn't

441
00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:57,839
act upon the Department of Justice being weaponized by you

442
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,319
know by we'll call it the chief Executive Officer, so

443
00:27:03,039 --> 00:27:06,799
as to punish a critic. Hello, Donald, I'm talking about you.

444
00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:10,720
I'm talking about you, Bill Barr. My hope is that

445
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:14,039
she saw the light in the error of her way.

446
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,000
She was reprimanded, which no judge wants to be. In fact,

447
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,799
I believe that if she does again what was done

448
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,440
before that there could be a very serious repercussion to

449
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,839
her where she is removed from the bench. So I

450
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,960
don't think that that's what she wants. I don't think

451
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,880
that's what any judge wants. So again, I agree with

452
00:27:38,039 --> 00:27:42,319
everything that you're saying. If you look at history, and

453
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,599
everybody will tell you that history tends to repeat itself.

454
00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:50,440
My hope is that history in this case does not

455
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:53,960
repeat itself, That she does the right thing, that she

456
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:59,319
realizes the entire country, the entire world is watching her

457
00:27:59,519 --> 00:28:02,839
and every every single move, including her supervisors.

458
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: So because she did in self recue, Special Counsel Jack

459
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,880
Smith has an important decision to make. Does he file

460
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,759
a affidavit of recusal under twenty eight USC. Section one

461
00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:18,119
forty four and that has to be done pretty soon.

462
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,640
Salty pull up twenty eight USC. Section one forty four

463
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,200
so people can see that's the statute right there. And

464
00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:26,400
as we go into the text, it says, whenever a

465
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,440
party to any proceeding in a district court makes and

466
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,480
files a timely insufficient affidavit that the judge before whom

467
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,200
the matter is pending as a personal bias or prejudice against,

468
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,960
either against him or in favor of any adverse party,

469
00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:44,119
such judge shall proceed no further therein, but another judge

470
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,000
shall be assigned to hear such proceeding. And I believe

471
00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:50,480
that would be reviewable by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeal.

472
00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:53,680
One thing that Special Council jack Smith certainly has on

473
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,079
his mind as well, though, is that this case is

474
00:28:56,119 --> 00:29:00,519
brought under SIPA, the Classified Information Procedures Act, where most

475
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:05,480
of the rulings that will be made preliminarily are automatically

476
00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:09,000
appealable to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals because of

477
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:13,440
the unique statutory structure of the Classified Information Procedures Act.

478
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:17,079
So Special Counsel Jacksmith may say, you know what, I'm

479
00:29:17,079 --> 00:29:19,839
hopeful I'm not going to I'm not going to file

480
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,960
the recusal. Let's wait until we see her make an

481
00:29:23,079 --> 00:29:27,759
order that violates clear eleven circuit precedent, appeal it right away,

482
00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:30,640
then go to the eleventh Circuit. Look, we gave her

483
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,160
a shot, and now we are making the move for

484
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,559
a recusal. That's what Special Counsel Jacksmith's weighing right now.

485
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, Ben, one of the reasons why, And to

486
00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:42,240
my brigadors, and I know some people are angry and

487
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,960
they say you being you know, you're being ridiculous, and

488
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,240
you know, stop stop, you know, trying to be hopeful.

489
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,079
There's a reason why I want to be hopeful that

490
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,119
Judge Cannon does the right thing. One of the problems

491
00:29:58,119 --> 00:30:02,000
that we have right now in terms of holding Donald J.

492
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:08,119
Trump accountable for the multitude of illegalities, the thirty seven

493
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,720
counts in this specific case, the counts in the D

494
00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:14,400
eight case, the civil case by Attorney General to James

495
00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:17,519
what will soon be followed by the Fulton County DA

496
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,839
fani Willis, etc.

497
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: All Right, one of the problems that we have is time.

498
00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:24,960
We do not have time.

499
00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:28,799
Speaker 3: Why because one thing Trump knows And I'm telling this

500
00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:32,279
to my brigaders because I have the experience in this area.

501
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,680
Donald knows delay and we cannot afford a delay. So

502
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,559
if in fact, Jack Smith goes ahead and files this motion, okay,

503
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:45,119
so he files the motion. Let's say there's a returnable

504
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,759
date in thirty days and twenty seven days. Donald comes

505
00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:52,680
back with his counsel and says, I need additional time,

506
00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:56,359
your honor. Okay, no problem. We have to give it

507
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:58,839
to you on the first request. So how much time

508
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,880
do you need? I need an additional sixty days. Not

509
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,920
the most unreasonable request. So even if the judge grants

510
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,559
him only thirty days, we just wasted sixty days. Fine,

511
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,200
they put in their papers thirty days later. Government has

512
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,640
the ability to put in I'm sorry, uh what you

513
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,279
wanna call it? Defense counsel has the ability to put

514
00:31:19,319 --> 00:31:21,880
in their papers. Now we're at ninety days. You see

515
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,880
where I'm going with this bend. You see where I'm

516
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,480
going to librigators, Then you have to give the judge

517
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,240
an opportunity in order to make a determination. Well, okay,

518
00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:33,759
so now we're ninety days out. The judge, let's say

519
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:38,440
he's incredibly incredibly quick in terms of this because of

520
00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:42,359
the import of this case. Thirty more days now we're

521
00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:44,799
four months into it. Well, all of a sudden it

522
00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:47,920
comes back she needs to recuse herself. Well, that's now

523
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:48,880
going to be appealed.

524
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: So now you.

525
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: Got your time period. Let's say another thirty days. We're

526
00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:55,519
five months into it to follow the appeal. Then all

527
00:31:55,519 --> 00:31:58,000
of a sudden, Government gets its opportunity to put in

528
00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:00,599
its appeal YR six months, right, Do you see where

529
00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:02,240
I'm going with this? And then it takes two three

530
00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:06,000
months for the judge to make their determination. Were nine

531
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,400
months into this game before you blink an eye off

532
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:13,559
one one for cocked emotion about recusal, we could be

533
00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:16,759
close to a year. A year now, all of a sudden,

534
00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:19,200
he's gonna turnround and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

535
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,000
whoa everybody. We're in the middle of a fucking campaign.

536
00:32:23,559 --> 00:32:27,039
I'm the leading candidate for the GOP. It is an

537
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:30,920
unwritten rule of the DOJ that they will not interfere

538
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:34,519
in an election, So everything goes on hold.

539
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: Who wins? Donald wins.

540
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying I am hopeful that she does

541
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,200
the right thing.

542
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: Am I being naive? Probably?

543
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,359
Speaker 3: But nevertheless, it will then mean that in nine months

544
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,759
to a year from now, we will be literally months

545
00:32:53,759 --> 00:32:56,920
away from a trial instead of just the beginning of

546
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,359
the case.

547
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,759
Speaker 1: And look, one important thing that Special Counts Jack Smith

548
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:04,039
still has in his pocket is, if you read this

549
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,200
thirty seven or thirty eight count indictment, Donald Trump actually

550
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:14,799
wasn't charged with showing the classified information at Bedminster itself.

551
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:18,200
That is an independent and separate crime. So many have

552
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,559
surmised that Special Counsel Jack Smith could ultimately bring another

553
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,119
case not just only on the willful retention of national

554
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,599
defense information under the Espionage ac but the actual transmittle

555
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,920
and showing it to people, as a separate case that

556
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,000
would be filed in New Jersey. And of course Special

557
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:42,200
Counsel Jack Smith's ongoing criminal investigation into Trump's conduct relating

558
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,160
to the January sixth insurrection and wire fraud and Trump

559
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,000
threatening local and state election officials. That case and that

560
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:53,559
investigation proceeds in earnest and I think we will see

561
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:59,240
indictments there in the fall, probably potentially even end of summer.

562
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:00,400
Let's talk about that.

563
00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:02,839
Speaker 3: And before we jump off this topic, I just wanted

564
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,720
once again to my brigaders to say I am hopeful

565
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,880
because I want Trump to be held accountable. But here

566
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,119
is the interesting thing as well, while all this bullshit

567
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,199
is happening, and everybody that's been out there and you

568
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:20,199
know now they're all a bunch of prognosticators and handicappers saying, well,

569
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,519
this case is more significant, for example, than the Alvin

570
00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:29,480
Bragg case, the hush money payment as well as the

571
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:34,199
business falsification of records and so on. That everybody's saying, oh, well,

572
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,599
that's not as significant. And in fact, you know, you

573
00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:39,559
also have the finding will this case, which may or

574
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:44,039
may not be as significant as classified document mishandling. That's

575
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:47,000
national security. But none of this is of course as

576
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:50,719
important or as significant as and trying to overturn the

577
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,320
federal government, meaning the January sixth insurrection. Let me be

578
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,280
very clear about something, all right. Alvin Bragg is proceeding forward.

579
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,559
He is not stopping, all right. And if that means

580
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,360
that Donald gets convicted, he gets tried and convicted on

581
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:10,960
a state indictment, well so fucking be it, all right.

582
00:35:11,039 --> 00:35:14,639
So instead of going to a federal institution, he will

583
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:18,119
go to a state institution. Now again, I'm not certain

584
00:35:18,159 --> 00:35:21,639
that he'll see any institution as a former president, but

585
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:25,639
the repercussions will nevertheless be there. Whether it be a

586
00:35:26,119 --> 00:35:31,840
state run home confinement or a federally run home confinement irrelevant.

587
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,760
It will put Donald in the classification as a felon right,

588
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,320
and it will now ensure accountability, and it will make

589
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,679
his life incredibly difficult as it relates to.

590
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: Whether it's campaigning or thing.

591
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:52,039
Speaker 3: It's what I always referred to as the al Capone theory.

592
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,159
Couldn't get him a murder, extortion, racketeering, bootlegging, et cetera.

593
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,880
They got him on tax evasion.

594
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: Not forget speaking about tax evasion. That New York Attorney

595
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,440
General Letitia James civil case where she's seeking at least

596
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,679
two hundred and fifty million dollars against Donald Trump, his

597
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,199
adult children, and the Trump organization, probably in the billions

598
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,920
at the time of trial, and an injunction effectively shutting

599
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,000
down Donald Trump, his adult children, and the Trump organization

600
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:24,880
from ever doing business in New York. That's said to

601
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,280
be heard October second of this year, and that has

602
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,880
major implications as well. We got a lot more to

Speaker 2: Let's go, Jordie.

672
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,639
Speaker 1: I'm benmsell is joined by Michael Cohen, and you are

673
00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:38,719
watching and listening to political beatdown. Cohen, it seems not

674
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,199
a week goes by where Maga Republicans are not making

675
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,599
up some defamatory story against President Biden. And it gets

676
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:52,360
more outlandish each week because the Maga Republicans aren't offering

677
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:56,679
any policies to the American people. They're not talking about jobs,

678
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,760
the economy, they're not talking about Social Security except taking

679
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,119
it away from they are sending.

680
00:41:03,199 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: But Ben, they are also sending migrants, you know to California, Texas,

681
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,800
not Texas, New York, you know, DC and so on.

682
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:19,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're kidnapping people, torturing people and like laughing about

683
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:22,440
it on Fox. It's utterly disgusting. So what they do

684
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:27,159
is Donald Trump is on a recording talking about classified information,

685
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,920
so they go, ah, let's make up something about President

686
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,280
Biden on a recording. Hey, did Rudy Giuliani once like

687
00:41:35,559 --> 00:41:39,639
launder these documents from a Russian oligarch who just lied

688
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,119
about Biden when he was the vice president from seven

689
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,960
years ago? Hey, can we find that form. Let's find

690
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,039
a form that's literal disinformation pushed by Putin, and then

691
00:41:51,119 --> 00:41:53,440
let's claim that it's valid. And then let's just say

692
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,280
these allegations are true. And then let's go a step

693
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,199
further and say they're actually recordings out there that exist.

694
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,440
And then let's make up a number and say there's

695
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,119
not just one recording. Let's just make it up and

696
00:42:04,159 --> 00:42:09,239
say there are seventeen recordings that involve President Biden when

697
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,119
he was the vice president being bribed. Every aspect of

698
00:42:13,199 --> 00:42:15,960
this is completely an utterly false. I want to show

699
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,400
this clip of congress Member Dan Goldman at a hearing

700
00:42:19,519 --> 00:42:22,639
yesterday breaking it down beautifully. Play this clip.

701
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 7: We've heard so much about this FBI ten twenty three

702
00:42:26,599 --> 00:42:30,880
form and how it includes sensational allegations about a massive

703
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,719
alleged bribery scheme by President Biden. So I was really

704
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,760
eager to read that document this week. Did the majority

705
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:43,840
actually find some actual evidence of wrongdoing by the president,

706
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,599
of course not. But it's even worse than that. This

707
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,280
document that they will not stop talking about is shockingly

708
00:42:53,159 --> 00:42:58,880
just a three year old, second hand hearsay, uncorroborated rehashing

709
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:05,519
of Rudy Juliani's bogus allegations that he got from Ukrainian

710
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:09,760
corrupt Ukrainian officials. Now we all know that former President

711
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,800
Donald Trump was impeached because he tried to extort President

712
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:18,400
Zelenski to announce an investigation into this Ukrainian company, Barisma,

713
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:23,320
that would benefit Trump's political campaign. The theory goes that

714
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,599
then vice president urged Ukraine to fire its prosecutor general

715
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,559
because he was investigating Barisma, and the president wanted to

716
00:43:31,599 --> 00:43:35,920
help his son, who was on the Barisma board. You

717
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,360
know where Giuliani got this information from, that fired prosecutor

718
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:45,760
general himself, the corrupt prosecutor general, and we know with.

719
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 2: And Cohen.

720
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: Of course, the document, the document is completely made up,

721
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,360
The recordings are completely made up. In his own words,

722
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,119
I just want to play you this one in his

723
00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:01,880
own words. This is what Jim Jordan said in an

724
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:02,920
interview earlier today.

725
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,119
Speaker 8: Play this clip, this oligarch who you know. I mean,

726
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:08,400
you can blame him because he wanted he was trying

727
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,000
to buy his way into the US government. But allegedly

728
00:44:11,079 --> 00:44:13,079
he had a client he was able to buy off

729
00:44:13,159 --> 00:44:16,920
Joe Biden and his and his Koke head son. Now

730
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,840
many people believe that once this oligarch is identified, that

731
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,000
he could be a target for those who don't want

732
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,880
this information out there. Is the GOP taking steps to

733
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,400
protect the oligarch?

734
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 9: Well, we we that that name in the in the

735
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,519
when I read the report, the ten twenty three, that

736
00:44:38,519 --> 00:44:42,440
that is redacted. So yeah, that that's that's in the report.

737
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 2: The too.

738
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,599
Speaker 9: Look, we don't want anyone to get hurt. You certainly

739
00:44:44,639 --> 00:44:47,159
don't want a source who's been helpful to our country.

740
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,079
You certainly don't want to have to do anything that

741
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:52,960
woul jeopardize his safety. We understand that. But by the

742
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,000
same token, the American people, we the people have a

743
00:44:56,079 --> 00:44:58,679
right to know what's really going on, particularly with the

744
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:00,519
guy who's the head of our government. Because United say,

745
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,920
if this stuff it's what the ledge is actually you

746
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,440
know accurate, that's that's that's huge news, that's huge concern,

747
00:45:07,519 --> 00:45:10,760
that's a big problem. So that's why we think This

748
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,000
needs to be made public with the appropriate redaction of

749
00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:15,719
the sources.

750
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,079
Speaker 2: Name is the.

751
00:45:18,159 --> 00:45:21,679
Speaker 1: GOP taking steps to protect the Russian oligarch.

752
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it's so stupid. I mean, you

753
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:26,719
said there.

754
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: Look, I don't even remember this guy's name, the one

755
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,159
that looks like Quagmire.

756
00:45:30,559 --> 00:45:31,639
Speaker 10: Gig gig gig.

757
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what this guy's sitting there and then

758
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,639
trying to put anything. So he's sort of my double

759
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:37,440
fingers today.

760
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,079
Speaker 2: Fuck you, you idiot.

761
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,519
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no other way to describe you. You're

762
00:45:41,559 --> 00:45:42,800
a fucking idiot.

763
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: Right.

764
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 3: They're making stuff up, They're promoting more lights and conspiracies

765
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,639
again and again and again. You know, I don't know

766
00:45:50,639 --> 00:45:54,360
if you saw this, Ben or Brigaders, but Rudy Juliani

767
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,800
was on Fox News and he was having a conversation

768
00:45:58,159 --> 00:46:00,719
with the Fox host who turned and said, no, no, no,

769
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,159
mister Giuliani, you're wrong about that. There is no proof.

770
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,920
You know, There's two very important words that we're going

771
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,039
to ask you, and those two words are prove it.

772
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,960
You can't just say something and expect us to accept

773
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,440
it as facts. You need to come with the proof.

774
00:46:19,639 --> 00:46:23,719
And he went off on her, screaming at her. You're

775
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,960
going to have to apologize to me. You can come

776
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,840
to my office and see the documents anytime that you want.

777
00:46:31,599 --> 00:46:34,800
We have the documents. The documents are in all possession.

778
00:46:35,599 --> 00:46:38,840
So she said, okay, why didn't you bring them or

779
00:46:39,039 --> 00:46:41,599
can I come tomorrow? Well, I can't show them to you,

780
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,000
but you're going to apologize to me because I'm right

781
00:46:45,039 --> 00:46:48,800
and you're wrong. This is the crazy logic of people

782
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,760
like Rudy Kaludi. This is the crazy logic of jim

783
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,320
Bo Jordan. This is the crazy logic of people like

784
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:01,159
Marjorie toilet Green and so many others. They are hijacking

785
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:06,719
our Congress for what Because because somebody impeached Donald Well

786
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,599
maybe he fucking deserved it, maybe he deserved to be impeached.

787
00:47:10,639 --> 00:47:14,800
But instead of allowing the process to be legitimate and fair,

788
00:47:15,039 --> 00:47:18,119
the second that you attack the furor, they think that

789
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,280
they need to come to his rescue. But he doesn't

790
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,960
need them, and they don't need him, and our country

791
00:47:24,039 --> 00:47:27,199
doesn't want any of it. But it doesn't matter because

792
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,800
they're all afraid that they're gonna piss off this maga base,

793
00:47:31,039 --> 00:47:34,280
which will shut down the spicots of money coming into

794
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,079
their you know, to their coffers, and that they will

795
00:47:37,079 --> 00:47:40,519
lose their seat, which means losing their power, which in

796
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,719
fact means losing their job. So they're protecting themselves at

797
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,400
the at the you know, at the cost and the

798
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,800
damage to who, to you, to me, to our country.

799
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: It's fucking despicable.

800
00:47:53,159 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, then they so they they do the lie, they

801
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,000
do the defamation. Then you have Murdoch's New York Post

802
00:47:59,119 --> 00:48:02,519
or whatever, they write the story Joe Briben, this, that

803
00:48:02,679 --> 00:48:05,119
and the other. Right, and then when it's like, okay,

804
00:48:05,199 --> 00:48:08,199
shown me the evidence, right that you just said Giuliani

805
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,199
went on Fox, they should show me the evidence. So

806
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,360
then what do they go to? The whistle blower's dead.

807
00:48:13,559 --> 00:48:17,599
The whistleblower disappeared. We can't find the document. It existed,

808
00:48:17,639 --> 00:48:20,599
but it got destroyed just all of a sudden. And

809
00:48:20,639 --> 00:48:23,559
this cycle repeats, this is Juliani from earlier in the

810
00:48:23,639 --> 00:48:26,400
day saying that the GOP witness who had all of

811
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,199
this information regarding the fake bribe, the fake Biden bribery,

812
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,719
ski guess what, died again, died again again.

813
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,159
Speaker 11: The clip on a day in which we find out

814
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,159
that the Bidens took a ten million dollar bribe from

815
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,920
a Ukrainian mikeelo Zschewski, which I could have told you

816
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,840
you know, and did tell them three years ago, and

817
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,039
they followed up on none of the evidence I gave them.

818
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,199
They were hoping that people would disappear or die. It's extraordinary.

819
00:48:56,519 --> 00:49:00,960
I gave them one witness that any investigator would jump

820
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,280
through hoops to go to. Gave him a witness who

821
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,360
is a woman who was the chief accountant at this

822
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,400
Crookeet company, Bisma. She was the wife of the former

823
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:18,079
owner who died under suspicious circumstances, and she was willing

824
00:49:18,199 --> 00:49:22,480
to give up all of the offshore bank accounts, including

825
00:49:22,519 --> 00:49:25,480
the bidens, but she died, you know.

826
00:49:25,559 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: And then when juwe by the way, when Juliani says

827
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:32,119
I gave them the information, you know who he's talking about, right,

828
00:49:32,199 --> 00:49:35,280
He's talking about Bill Barr. He gave the information to

829
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:41,039
Bill Barr in twenty twenty to go after Donald Trump's

830
00:49:41,039 --> 00:49:44,679
opponent Biden. Bill Barr was trying to go after Biden.

831
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,840
But Bill Barr saw these records and knew they were

832
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:52,599
so batshit crazy that Bill Barr's like, these records are

833
00:49:52,679 --> 00:49:57,320
actually going to undermine my weaponization and what I'm trying

834
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,400
to do for Donald Trump. Here Juliani stopped giving me

835
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,360
these crazy documents. And if Bill Barr believed in the

836
00:50:04,519 --> 00:50:08,159
veracity of these documents, of course we know what he

837
00:50:08,199 --> 00:50:11,559
would have done. The procedure is you appoint a special council.

838
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,199
So the fact that Bill Barr got these records didn't

839
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:19,199
appoint a special council is proof that they were rejected

840
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,719
by Bill Barr. And now the Maga Republicans are saying,

841
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,119
what this is a conspiracy that Bill Barr wanted to

842
00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:30,320
help take down Donald Trump and get President Biden elected.

843
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:33,119
It gets completely insane. And then to your point, when

844
00:50:33,159 --> 00:50:36,480
you attack Donald Trump, when you attack their fear, if

845
00:50:36,519 --> 00:50:39,679
you investigate him, you now have this whole It's just

846
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,760
a clown show there. Did you see this Anna Paulina Luna,

847
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,679
this Magga Republican, she's like the new version of George Santos.

848
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,119
She's like teamed up with George Santos and Kevin McCarthy.

849
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:55,039
Let this get to a House floor vote to censure

850
00:50:55,159 --> 00:50:59,760
Adam Schiff for investigating Donald Trump for his relationship with

851
00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:03,559
Russia back, you know, several years ago. So they have

852
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:09,320
this resolution and you have George Santos, Anna Paulina Luna

853
00:51:09,559 --> 00:51:13,639
locking arms with Kevin McCarthy. They claim this resolution is

854
00:51:13,679 --> 00:51:16,840
going to pass. The resolution did not pass. It backfired.

855
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,880
Twenty Republicans actually joined with Democrats fortunately and did not

856
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,760
vote for this resolution. But let me show you. This

857
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,599
is George Santos, now a face of the modern day

858
00:51:28,639 --> 00:51:33,280
Republican Party, talking about ethics and why he and Anna

859
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:38,679
Paulina Luna, backed by Kevin McCarthy, are bringing this censure

860
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,320
motion resolution against Adam Schiff. Play this clip.

861
00:51:43,039 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 12: Hi, Congressman George Santos here, I'm here today to talk

862
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:51,639
about Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna's resolution to censor Congressman Adam

863
00:51:51,679 --> 00:51:57,480
Schiff of California. Congressman Shift continually pursued scurless accusations against

864
00:51:57,519 --> 00:52:01,599
President Trump for the entirety of his residency, alleging that

865
00:52:01,679 --> 00:52:05,199
the President in his campaign colluded with the Russian government.

866
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,960
This has now been proven to be patently false, as

867
00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:13,480
if it wasn't a painfully obvious witch hunt before. Additionally,

868
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,119
the measure would find a former House Intelligence Committee chairman

869
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:21,880
sixteen million dollars, just half the cost of the fabricated investigation.

870
00:52:22,679 --> 00:52:26,760
Congressman Shift abused his power to pursue the Trump campaign

871
00:52:27,079 --> 00:52:32,800
and its campaign staff. This abhorring behavior is unacceptable for

872
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:37,119
a member of Congress. Congressman Shift has called this resolution

873
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:41,639
to censure a quote terrible misuse of House precedent and

874
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:46,639
resources and an attack on the Constitution. I would suggest

875
00:52:46,679 --> 00:52:50,679
Congressman Shift look inward and more closely consider his remarks.

876
00:52:51,039 --> 00:52:54,960
This investigation is what, in fact, was a terrible waste

877
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:59,519
and misuse of taxpayer money. To not carry out a

878
00:52:59,639 --> 00:53:02,159
cent or would be a miscarriage of justice and a

879
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,800
dereliction of our sworn duty as members of the House

880
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,599
of Representatives. We must preserve the integrity of the US

881
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,239
House of Representatives and censure Adam Schiff.

882
00:53:12,679 --> 00:53:19,639
Speaker 1: Today you have George Santos talking about preserving and protecting

883
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,159
the integrity of the House of Representatives. What a clown

884
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,960
show the mega Republicans are. And when you listen to

885
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000
George Santos, he doesn't even know how to say the

886
00:53:30,039 --> 00:53:33,039
word abhorrent. He goes aberrant or whatever he said. But

887
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,159
I think there are signs and I want to see

888
00:53:36,199 --> 00:53:38,400
if you feel the same way, Cochen, like I have

889
00:53:38,639 --> 00:53:42,320
noticed that there are some Republicans who are at least

890
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,559
since the indictment, who have been giving some th press

891
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:50,159
interviews talking about how, look what there's no way to

892
00:53:50,199 --> 00:53:53,000
defend this, There's no way to defend what Donald Trump's doing.

893
00:53:53,039 --> 00:53:56,840
One of them is a representative Republican named Dan Bacon,

894
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,000
and Dan Bacon's also talked about how maybe he said,

895
00:54:00,039 --> 00:54:02,000
and he said this, he goes, maybe a group of

896
00:54:02,079 --> 00:54:04,480
us more moderate Republicans need to just join with the

897
00:54:04,519 --> 00:54:07,320
Democrats at this point. If we have the Matt Gates

898
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,800
and the Lauren Boberts and the Annapolione a Lunas, maybe

899
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,960
this is beyond repair the Republican Party, and maybe we

900
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,280
should join with the Democrats. They're very interesting that.

901
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 3: You know. It's why I constantly say on every single

902
00:54:19,519 --> 00:54:23,280
one of these shows, vote vote, vote, vote vote vote,

903
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,199
vote all right, and vote b loo. Make sure that

904
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,480
you are fully ready to go. Make sure that you

905
00:54:29,599 --> 00:54:33,079
have you know, this set up for you so that

906
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,159
you know you can get your you know your pass,

907
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,760
you go straight in, you vote boom out. Make sure

908
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,960
that everybody in your house was of age, is capable

909
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,039
and it is capable of voting, is there and voting

910
00:54:46,159 --> 00:54:48,920
if that means you have to get a right in ballot,

911
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,199
and you write in ballot, make sure your neighbors, your

912
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,519
you know your relatives, anybody that may need your help.

913
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,920
If we do not get these animals, these lunatics out

914
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,920
of office, I'm telling you right off the bat, it

915
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:06,400
is going to be a really shitty additional four years.

916
00:55:06,599 --> 00:55:09,199
Whether or not Joe Biden, you know it's gonna be.

917
00:55:09,559 --> 00:55:12,519
It's a disaster for a democracy if Donald ends up

918
00:55:12,519 --> 00:55:16,960
becoming president. But if something like Joe Biden, who's trying,

919
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,119
and look, there's not everything that Joe Biden does I

920
00:55:20,159 --> 00:55:23,199
don't agree with, but I have to say he's trying.

921
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:28,239
The country is doing well, he's passing bills, he's doing things.

922
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:32,800
He is a decent, decent human being. Yes, his age

923
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,559
is his age. You can't change that, but it doesn't

924
00:55:36,599 --> 00:55:39,599
matter at this point. It's going to be a Biden

925
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:45,360
Trump election. And if Donald comes anywhere within a thousand

926
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,840
feet of the front gate to the White House, our country,

927
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,320
our democracy is in massive peril. And that's why I

928
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,119
keep saying we need that big, massive blue wave. And

929
00:55:56,159 --> 00:55:58,840
the way that we will get there is through the Brigade,

930
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,519
through folks like yourself, and we will do calls to action,

931
00:56:03,079 --> 00:56:06,440
asking to please make sure that your family, your friends,

932
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,719
your neighbors, your cousins, your you know, everybody has the

933
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,440
who has the ability to vote, is registered, ready to

934
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:16,760
go and make sure that they get to the booth.

935
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,280
It's one thing if you're registered, it's another thing if

936
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:22,239
you don't go and vote. We must ensure that people

937
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,880
like the Marjorie Toilet Greens, like Jim Jordan, they have

938
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,599
no place in our capital. Anyone that does not acknowledge

939
00:56:29,679 --> 00:56:33,239
that January sixth was an insurrection, that this was an

940
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:38,360
attack on our capital, on our democracy, on our government. Right,

941
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,039
there's something wrong with you and these people need to

942
00:56:42,159 --> 00:56:44,880
go now. I'm not saying the people that there aren't

943
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,920
some you know, some people on the Democratic side i'd

944
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,280
like to see go as well, but for the for

945
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,679
the time being, in order for Joe Biden to be

946
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,400
able to accomplish the things that he's doing. And interestingly enough,

947
00:56:56,559 --> 00:57:00,400
what he is doing is all bipartisan. Some of the

948
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:05,000
saw from the early administration, from the Trump administrations by partisan.

949
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:09,079
So look, my friends, vote, It's all about the voting,

950
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,239
and it's all about ensuring that the crazies, these far

951
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,599
right wing Trump acolytes.

952
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: They all need to go because we need to have

953
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:23,480
intelligible conversations, not this Maga Republican clown show. And I'll

954
00:57:23,519 --> 00:57:26,000
leave you with this Cohen and Brigaders. This is what

955
00:57:26,199 --> 00:57:30,679
went down yesterday on Wednesday at one of these Maga

956
00:57:30,679 --> 00:57:35,639
Republican performative hearings, where you had Lauren Bobert questioning a

957
00:57:36,199 --> 00:57:39,960
very distinguished individual by the name of Sally Katzen. So

958
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:44,159
you've got Bobert who's failed at running her restaurant and

959
00:57:44,199 --> 00:57:48,679
gave everybody diarrhea and made everybody sick before bankrupting her restaurant.

960
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:53,960
She's questioning Sally Katzen, an NYU law professor. She was

961
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,239
a member of the Obama Biden Transition Project Agencies Review

962
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,800
Working Group responsible for the Exactecutive Office of the President

963
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:05,320
and Government Operation Agencies. She held White House positions in

964
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,519
the Clinton administration, including as the Administrator of the Office

965
00:58:09,599 --> 00:58:14,000
of Information and Regulatory Affairs. And Sally Katzen was called

966
00:58:14,119 --> 00:58:18,920
as the Democratic Party's witness as the Democrats minority witness

967
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,480
to talk about some of the issues. And just watch

968
00:58:21,559 --> 00:58:26,199
this exchange because it shows everything that is wrong and

969
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,920
encapsulates it all in this one clip. With MAGA Republicans

970
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:29,599
play this clip.

971
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 13: Would you say that this is an abuse of that

972
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,280
separation of power because that rule is not something that

973
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:40,360
Congress has delegated, but the ATF has taken it upon

974
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,800
itself to regulate this rule that they created to make

975
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,280
millions of Americans felons with respect.

976
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,519
Speaker 10: I was trying to answer your question before you interrupted

977
00:58:50,559 --> 00:58:54,920
me to say that the ATF had in each of

978
00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:03,119
these instances sufficient statutory authority from Congress and that that

979
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,159
and he challenges to them.

980
00:59:05,159 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 13: Miscats in it is my time. So Congress never authorized

981
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:13,079
the ATF to ban pistol braces. Congress never authorized the

982
00:59:13,079 --> 00:59:17,760
ATF to do that to make millions of Americans felons overnight.

983
00:59:18,199 --> 00:59:20,320
And so I would go back to your statement that

984
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:25,800
you said in your testimony that, uh, these agencies are

985
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:30,119
not free agencies and they can only do which Congress

986
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:35,320
has delegated to them to do. Congress is not excuse

987
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,199
me my time, no, ma'am, it's my time, thank you,

988
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:45,639
It is my time, thank you. And if you stated

989
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:49,639
Congress delegates, but then some officials are quick to condemn

990
00:59:49,679 --> 00:59:50,480
the agencies.

991
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:56,559
Speaker 1: And by the way, this issue was over administrative agency

992
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:01,159
kind of one oh one the authority of to delegate

993
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:05,800
certain powers to agencies like the ATF. What Lauren Bobert

994
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,159
there was yelling at the witness over is that the

995
01:00:08,199 --> 01:00:11,920
MAGA Republicans big issue d joure of the day is

996
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:16,199
to have more pistol braces, which were intended for disabled

997
01:00:16,199 --> 01:00:20,760
individuals who want to fire AR fifteens. The MAGA Republicans

998
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,920
want the pistol braces for people who are not disabled

999
01:00:24,159 --> 01:00:28,280
so that they could fire AR fifteens and not even

1000
01:00:28,559 --> 01:00:32,199
not even listening to the answer of the question from

1001
01:00:32,239 --> 01:00:32,559
so Ben.

1002
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:37,199
Speaker 3: Here's here's the thing. I've been down this road before

1003
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:42,000
with members of Congress, not once, not twice, but seven

1004
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:47,039
seven times when I testified to seven different Congressional committees.

1005
01:00:48,239 --> 01:00:52,559
If you are a Democrat and the Republican has the

1006
01:00:52,599 --> 01:00:56,199
floor to ask the question the five minutes, they're not

1007
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,000
interested in asking you a question. In my house over

1008
01:01:00,079 --> 01:01:04,719
recite committee hearing, not one Republican asked me a single

1009
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:08,400
question about Donald They each took the five minutes to

1010
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:13,199
you know, to castigate who you know, to disparage, to

1011
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,480
denigrate you. And that's what Lauren Bobert is doing here.

1012
01:01:16,519 --> 01:01:20,199
They are as dumb as they come. They are as

1013
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,840
obnoxious as anything that you've ever seen. I mean they

1014
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,199
think that this is I mean, I personally enjoy watching

1015
01:01:27,519 --> 01:01:31,000
you know, Parliament in England because I find it funny.

1016
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,400
But I don't find it funny here in America because

1017
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,280
they don't even do it here with class. She's just

1018
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:41,239
a classless asshole that thought that she was going to

1019
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:48,360
be rate honorable Katzen all right for coming in in

1020
01:01:48,519 --> 01:01:52,800
order to testify as to some issue that they deemed

1021
01:01:53,159 --> 01:01:57,400
necessary and appropriate. Fine, she did what Katsen did what

1022
01:01:57,519 --> 01:02:01,960
she was required to do. She appeared not asking her questions,

1023
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,400
not interested, as she stated in an answer, just merely.

1024
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 2: To attack her.

1025
01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 3: Why so that they could make a couple of minute

1026
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,360
clip use that raise more money and you know again

1027
01:02:14,519 --> 01:02:19,719
fill up their coffers for themselves. It's fucking despicable. Under

1028
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:24,920
every single you know metric, it's just despicable.

1029
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:29,559
Speaker 1: Just performative fascist theater. But I think the American people

1030
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,400
are waking up. I think there is this broader coalition

1031
01:02:33,519 --> 01:02:38,519
that has coalesced of pro democracy loving Americans, people who

1032
01:02:38,599 --> 01:02:43,559
are liberal, progressive, independent, not affiliated with any political party,

1033
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:49,159
people who are truly conservative, not this fake maga Republican conservativism,

1034
01:02:49,199 --> 01:02:50,440
which isn't conservative at all.

1035
01:02:50,559 --> 01:02:52,559
Speaker 2: What about the fake outrage?

1036
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,119
Speaker 3: Look at the fake outrage that we're seeing from the

1037
01:02:55,119 --> 01:02:58,360
GOP every single day. I mean you see them, they

1038
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,760
stand there anytime that they can get in front of

1039
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,719
a camera. Boy, performative art. I mean, this fake outrage

1040
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:09,880
over everything. Joe Biden, this Hunter Biden, that right, you know,

1041
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,079
you have, Kamala you have I mean, it's it's everything.

1042
01:03:14,159 --> 01:03:16,320
Oh my god, it's all nothing but a tax on

1043
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,519
Donald Trump. It's all attacks on Donald Trump. And the

1044
01:03:19,559 --> 01:03:22,880
worst performative artists in these cases are the Lauren Bolberts,

1045
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,159
the the Ted Cruzes, the Jim Jordan's. It's out of control.

1046
01:03:27,719 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 2: You know.

1047
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: We had congress Member Jared Moskowitz on the show yesterday

1048
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,119
and one of the things that he pointed out, I

1049
01:03:34,119 --> 01:03:36,840
thought it was a great observation, is that the modern

1050
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,280
day Republican Party, the maga Republican Party, learned all of

1051
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:44,639
this from Donald Trump. These tactics, this performative fascism, this

1052
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:50,480
clownishness is just mimicking what Donald Trump does. And they saw, well,

1053
01:03:50,519 --> 01:03:53,599
Donald Trump griffs, he makes all this money doing that.

1054
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,800
Carry Lake said, I'm just gonna follow that strategy. So

1055
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,880
they've all coalesced and just do what Trump does. And

1056
01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:02,760
that's the modern day Republican Party doing nothing for the

1057
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,880
American people, not focused on any issues that matter, just

1058
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:09,920
some performative fascist theater and hey, raise money, raise money,

1059
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,599
raise money. American people are sick and tired of it.

1060
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,159
And I'm proud to host Political beat Down with you

1061
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,960
and to share this time with the Brigaders so we

1062
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,239
could talk about this, because i know what I love

1063
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,679
about this is the Brigaders don't just watch this, turn

1064
01:04:22,719 --> 01:04:24,800
this off and then move on. What they do is

1065
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,880
they share these videos, subscribe to the YouTube channel, tell

1066
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:32,800
their family, friends, coworkers, colleagues, everybody they know about Political Beatdown.

1067
01:04:33,119 --> 01:04:36,199
Because what Political Beatdown is about, what the Midas Touch

1068
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,480
Network is about, what the Midas Mighty is about, is

1069
01:04:39,519 --> 01:04:43,800
this is a pro democracy movement, okay, And the key

1070
01:04:44,079 --> 01:04:48,840
ingredient in this movement is you watching this, you listening

1071
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,159
to this, and you spreading the word and telling the

1072
01:04:52,199 --> 01:04:55,800
truth and letting people know what the facts are. It's

1073
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,519
why we spend a lot of time not just on

1074
01:04:58,639 --> 01:05:02,320
sound bites, but going through the court opinions, going through

1075
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:06,840
the facts, showing you actual evidence what's being said, and

1076
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,639
not just arguing and yelling for the sake of it.

1077
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,719
That is why I'm so proud that the Midas Touch

1078
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,440
Network is innovating a whole new way that the media

1079
01:05:16,519 --> 01:05:19,440
should be in political beat down one of the marquee

1080
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,719
shows here doing that. Cohen, I'll give you the final

1081
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:22,760
word before we wrap it.

1082
01:05:23,159 --> 01:05:25,559
Speaker 3: So when we talk about beatdown, what we are going

1083
01:05:25,639 --> 01:05:28,039
to do as a brigade, as a group, as a

1084
01:05:28,159 --> 01:05:32,599
united force, we will beat down this GOP stupidity. We

1085
01:05:32,639 --> 01:05:35,519
will beat them right into the ground. We will ensure

1086
01:05:35,559 --> 01:05:38,559
that they lose their seats. We will ensure that there

1087
01:05:38,599 --> 01:05:42,239
will be a House that is controlled by Democrats, that

1088
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,320
they will be a Senate controlled by Democrats, and the

1089
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:50,920
White House will again return a Democrat will return Joe Biden.

1090
01:05:51,239 --> 01:05:55,239
That's our goal. That's our beatdown goal at the moment.

1091
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,920
So thank everybody tomorrow on maya Culpa when it drops

1092

at midnight tonight, it's Harry Littman. You gotta hear this one.

1093
01:06:03,079 --> 01:06:07,239

01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,800
the ground like Harry Littman. And short of that, you know, again,

1095

01:06:20,159 --> 01:06:24,320
must grow and we must grow quickly because again time

1098
01:06:24,519 --> 01:06:27,159
