1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to Political beat Down. I've been my cellas of course,

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,439
joined by Michael Cohen. Where do we even begin? Should

3
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:14,000
we begin with the fact that in some of the

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,440
last seven national polls, Donald Trump is getting his ass kicked.

5
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,399
You have it right there, civics led your fau the

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,239
economist you goov which take a look at the economist

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,879
you gov. By the way, Donald Trump was previously up

8
00:00:29,079 --> 00:00:33,799
plus three, and that's shifted now to Vice President Kamala

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,520
Harris up to Now. I'm not one who dwells on

10
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:42,000
poles all that much, but what I do care about, Cohen,

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,119
are trends. And when you see a trend heading in

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,200
a direction, not one poll, not cherry picked, but all

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,560
of them, and all of them in the battleground states,

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,560
and then massive movements within the same type of poll firm.

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,960
I just had Simon Rosenberg, who was one of the

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,719
kind of foremost people pushing back on the bogus red

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,959
wave narrative in the twenty twenty two midterms, and he said,

18
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:13,560
you know this, Poland's wrong, that Poland's wrong. Focus on

19
00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:17,439
the trends, focus on what's really happening, you know, on

20
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:20,879
the ground, and don't cherry pick this poll or that pole.

21
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:26,000
It's it's definitely, Michael Cohen. We're seeing an important trend here. Also,

22
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,799
Donald Trump that National Association a Black journalist event than

23
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,959
at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I mean, gave the worst interview, worst

24
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,400
speech I've ever seen, not just in politics, but in

25
00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:49,159
my whole life, including elementary school presentations, middle school presentations,

26
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:52,280
high school presentations. It was the worst. And while it

27
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:56,319
is getting a lot of attention for how bad it was,

28
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:59,840
it deserves way more attention for how bad it was. Michael,

29
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,599
how are you doing today, sir?

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,599
Speaker 2: You know I'm hanging in there, my brother, and I'm

31
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,879
thankful for all the brigaders that are with us. As always,

32
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:14,360
the way I saw it when I watched this interview,

33
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,560
the first thing that came to my mind, and I'm

34
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,520
sure that it came to yours and all of our

35
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:24,319
brigader's minds, including the trolls that we have on the

36
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,759
MAGA trolls, is why is Donald doing this right? Who

37
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,800
is it that told him that they think that this

38
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,759
is going to end up working out favorably for him?

39
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,240
I have no idea. It's got to be Don Junior again. Well,

40
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,919
maybe Peter tile, the same two yo yos that stuck

41
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:47,520
him with Shady Vance. I'm sitting there, I'm saying to myself,

42
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,560
as I was listening to the very opening of this bend,

43
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,759
if you would have taken Donald out of it and

44
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,759
told me that this was David Duke who was making

45
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,919
this statements, I would turn around and I would say, yeah,

46
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,039
it makes perfect sense. It was so on par with

47
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:18,719
racist tropes, with white supremacy, with clansmen ideology. The whole

48
00:03:18,719 --> 00:03:22,520
thing was just filled with these sort of tropes. And

49
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,919
I'm saying to myself, Donald, what the fuck did you expect?

50
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,319
What did you expect they were going to ask you?

51
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:34,479
What's your favorite burger? How many do you eat at

52
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,840
mar A Lago a week? Right? Well, you know what's

53
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:40,759
your favorite golf course that you own? What did you

54
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,919
think they were going to ask you? You thought this

55
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,800
was another Sean Hannity interview. The answer, I was so

56
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,599
blown away, Ben, join me for a second, Ben, because

57
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,360
I need to see your reactions as I go this.

58
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,919
So I managed to get a hold of the trans

59
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:07,240
script for the NAJB, and I only printed out the

60
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,400
first few pages of it because I knew that you

61
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:13,479
and I were going to have to actually talk about it.

62
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:19,519
So in the opening, the interviewer turns around and says,

63
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:24,639
as journalists, we have opportunities like these voth to inform

64
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,120
our reporting, but also to help voters understand the choices

65
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,639
that they face in a consequential and historic election year.

66
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,240
NABJ has partnered with PolitiFact to fact check this conversation

67
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:43,720
in real time. You can access the feed on social

68
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,319
media using hashtag NABJ fact check and the hashtag is

69
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:53,079
NABJ fact check. Okay, so we have a lot to

70
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,519
go to and we do not want to waste any time,

71
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:59,279
So let's bring out the former president of the United States,

72
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:05,079
the republic nominee for president, former President Donald Trump. Snap

73
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,360
snap snaps. Okay, mister President, we so appreciate you giving

74
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,000
us an hour of your time. I want to start

75
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,959
by addressing the elephant in the room, sir, fair, fair comment, right,

76
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,360
address the elephant in the room. You can't turn around

77
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:24,959
and ask him a softball question. A lot of people

78
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:27,279
did not think it was appropriate for you to be

79
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:31,959
here today. You have pushed false claims about some of

80
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,360
your rivals, from Nikki Hanley to former President Barack Obama.

81
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,360
Staying that they were not born in the United States,

82
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:44,079
which is not true. You have told four congresswomen of

83
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:48,680
color who were American citizens to go back to where

84
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,199
they came from. You have used words like animal and

85
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:58,079
rabid to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists,

86
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,720
calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask

87
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:06,639
are quote stupid and racist. You've had dinner with a

88
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,199
white supremacist at your marro Lago resort. So my questions, sir,

89
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,439
now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you,

90
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,519
why should black voters trust you after you've used language

91
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:24,399
like that and so? Ben, the best Donald Trump could

92
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,959
do in responding, Well, first of all, I don't think

93
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,279
I've ever been asked the question so in such a

94
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:36,600
horrible manner. The first question. You don't even say, hello,

95
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,800
how are you? Are you with ABC? Because I think

96
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:44,399
they are fake news network, a terrible network. And I

97
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:49,360
think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. Ben,

98
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,399
I need to ask you, as I just as I

99
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:56,120
just continue for a second, what the hell is he

100
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,279
talking about again? Did he turn around and think that

101
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,720
they were going to give him a Sean Hannity softball

102
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:07,720
question about you know, how are you doing, how are

103
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,920
you holding up? You know, how was your ear? You

104
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,040
know what did they think that he was going to

105
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,240
ask any thoughts on that?

106
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: Well, look, in a normal political environment where corporate media

107
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:24,920
does their job, Donald Trump is disqualified right there, He's

108
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,639
out the moment. He said, I have never been asked

109
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,399
a question in such a horrible manner. You don't even

110
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:35,160
say hello and hi to me, your ABC, your fake news.

111
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:37,600
That should be it. I mean, there was once a time,

112
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,839
Michael Cohen where people would spell potato wrong and that

113
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:44,000
would be the end of their career. Howard Dean shouted

114
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,560
in a weird tone, and that was the end of

115
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,639
his run for the presidency. I mean, when you see this,

116
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:53,120
this is not normal behavior at all. And I think

117
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:57,160
Donald Trump went in there like the malignant, narcissist sociopath

118
00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:00,319
that he is, and I think that he thought that

119
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:02,839
it was not going to be Rachel Scott asking the

120
00:08:02,839 --> 00:08:05,759
first question, but it was going to be Harris Faulkner

121
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:08,800
from Fox who was on the panel, because she was

122
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:12,560
giving him softballs, and Rachel Scott got the first question.

123
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:17,199
I think because of the controversy of inviting him, and

124
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,720
then it went off the rails from there. But it

125
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:22,360
went off the rails because Trump is off the rails.

126
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560
The questions were fair. Trump is off the rails, which

127
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,279
is why there were some people who were saying, should

128
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:32,039
you invite him to that in the first place? And

129
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,559
my response is if you handle it the way Rachel

130
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,039
Scott does and did. I thought she did an exceptional

131
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:42,600
job in asking the right question so people could see

132
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,480
Donald Trump like that. But if you approached it like

133
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,840
Harris Faulkner and gave the softball interview, then that is

134
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200
meaningless and it just serves as propaganda.

135
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:55,519
Speaker 2: I mean, he goes on. And the reason why I

136
00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:01,279
think it's important that we not allow the comments that

137
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,000
were made by Trump. I don't want to interpret them

138
00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:08,399
in my words. I can go on and I can

139
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,879
basically rattle off a couple of them, but it's not

140
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:15,600
in his words. It's not in his language. And this

141
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,799
is what I believe that the Harris campaign that Democrats

142
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,879
need to do. We need to use Donald Trump's words.

143
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,320
So while I am repeating them, I'm repeating them for effect.

144
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:36,159
We cannot ever allow somebody like this near the White

145
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:39,919
House ever again. Not even on a tour, not even

146
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,080
on a tour the racist Trumps. Imagine what a second

147
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:50,600
term would mean. It would mean included increased divisiveness in

148
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,519
racism and hatred. And so he goes to say, and

149
00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:57,759
this is the greatest I think this was. This made

150
00:09:57,759 --> 00:10:01,080
me laugh my ass offt I love the black population

151
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,919
of this country. I've done so much for the black

152
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:09,919
population of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones. With

153
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,840
Senator Tom Scott, I'm sorry, with Senator Tim Scott of

154
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:18,679
South Carolina, right of course, employing the name of one

155
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,960
black follower of his. That's that's there on the stump,

156
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:26,440
which is one of the greatest programs ever for black

157
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:30,279
workers and black entrepreneurs. I've done so much. And you

158
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,440
know when I say this, historically black colleges and universities

159
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:38,639
were out of money. I mean, the reason I'm bringing

160
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:42,679
this up again, he is all over the spectrum. If

161
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,639
the spectrum is zero to ten, he went from a

162
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,240
one to a nine in the split second. That's not

163
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:51,799
what they're asking him. They're not asking him with it.

164
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,159
What's the reason. But let me just go on. They

165
00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:58,759
were stone cold broke and I saved them, and I

166
00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:02,879
gave them long term financing. Where and how? I mean,

167
00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:04,759
I'm not aware of this, and I kind of read

168
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:09,360
everything and nobody else was doing it. What it's like.

169
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,600
I think it's a very rude introduction. I don't know

170
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:15,759
exactly what you would do something like that, why you

171
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:19,360
would ask a legitimate question. Do you see what? Yes?

172
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:22,320
Trump is an idiot. But it goes on and let

173
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,759
me go a step further. He doesn't even know when

174
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:27,759
to shut up. He doesn't know when he already stuck

175
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:31,200
his foot up his ass instead. Right, he's got he's

176
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,039
got to really bring it up this so his pinky

177
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,480
toad tickles his tonsils. I mean, he goes on, He

178
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,879
goes I was invited here, and I was told my opponent,

179
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:43,360
whether it was Biden or Kamala, Really you don't know

180
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,240
who your opponent is now. I was told my opponent

181
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,080
was going to be here. It turned out my opponent

182
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,559
isn't here. You invited me on the false pretense, which

183
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,519
means what, which means what? What are you trying to say?

184
00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:59,399
I mean, he goes on to say that this is

185
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,879
the best part so far, just so we understand, I

186
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,080
have too much respect for you to be late they

187
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,399
couldn't get their equipment working or something was wrong. I

188
00:12:09,399 --> 00:12:12,960
think it's a very nasty question. I have answered the question.

189
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:16,600
I have been the best president for the black population

190
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,399
since Abraham Lincoln. That's my answer. That's my answer for

191
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,320
you to start off a question and answer period, especially

192
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,960
when you're thirty five minutes late because you couldn't get

193
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,639
your equipment to work in such a horrible manner. I

194
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,759
think it's a disgrace. I really do. I mean, I

195
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,320
just thought this response to the first question out of

196
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,279
the gate is so telling in terms of it goes

197
00:12:45,399 --> 00:12:51,639
beyond beyond narcissistic, pathologic, being a pathological liar. It goes

198
00:12:51,759 --> 00:13:01,120
way beyond that. It is a complete detachment from reality. No, Donald,

199
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,879
you are not the greatest president for the black community

200
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,360
since Abraham Lincoln. You are not all right. In fact,

201
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,360
neither is Joe Biden. But if you are here, Joe

202
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,399
Biden is here, let me be very clear about that.

203
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,559
And the fact the fact that you keep throwing that

204
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,080
out over and over and over and over again. What

205
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,639
is the what are you trying to do? I'm going

206
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,600
to give you all the answers, my brigaders. What he's

207
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:36,679
trying to do is to repeat the lie again and

208
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:40,799
again and again as often as possible, and have his

209
00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:45,799
sycophantic acolytes out there doing the same to rewrite history,

210
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,480
because his belief system is something he's been very very

211
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,000
successful at doing. The more you repeat the lie, the

212
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,559
more the lie is repeated, the more the lie becomes

213
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,279
the truth. Okay, let me be very clear about that.

214
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,320
And that's what this is all about. He again, whoever

215
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:07,799
told him that he should go to this thing and

216
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,840
answer questions? This is the way what Rachel Scott did

217
00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:16,080
is the way that Joe Biden should have done it.

218
00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:19,000
And as great as Rachel Scott was, and I give

219
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:22,000
her an eight out of a ten, I give her

220
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,919
an eight, maybe even an eight and a half, Kamala

221
00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:28,440
Harris will be a ten. He will be a perfect

222
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,840
ten on this because she will go balls to the

223
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:34,960
wall if in fact, Donald has the guts, which I

224
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,840
don't think he will come September to sit down for

225
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:38,480
that debate.

226
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,279
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's already canceled that September debate, and Vice President

227
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,480
Kamala Harris says, look, Donald, you want to make all

228
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,639
of these comments, Okay, say it to my face. It

229
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,039
was interesting. Sean Hannity and others on Fox tried to

230
00:14:55,159 --> 00:14:58,840
use the National Association of Black Journalist event to say,

231
00:14:58,879 --> 00:15:02,919
you see, that's why Donald Trump needs to cancel the

232
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:06,639
debates or any further debates with Vice President Kamala Harrison.

233
00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:09,639
It's like he's already won you toilaterally canceled it. But

234
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,159
Trump is scared of her. Michael Cohen like, we shouldn't

235
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,960
mince our words. Donald Trump wakes up, goes to sleep,

236
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:23,799
and is terrified of her. And now he spends the

237
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,519
entire day posting images of her with the Indian side

238
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,600
of her family and then saying she's not black. And

239
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:35,759
that's what he's going with over and over again. And

240
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:38,600
he goes, thank you, Kamala for the nice picture you

241
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,519
sent me from many years ago. Your warmth, friendship and

242
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,840
love of your Indian heritage are very much appreciated. It's

243
00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:50,960
a very creepy message, and it's the message of an abuser.

244
00:15:51,039 --> 00:15:55,000
Also though it's more than just racist, which it's like,

245
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:56,320
how could he be more than just racist?

246
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 3: It's racist, but that's what rape say, Like that's like

247
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:05,559
a weird abuser stalker.

248
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,759
Speaker 1: You know, thank you for these lovely photos. It's it's

249
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,639
really creepy stuff.

250
00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:15,759
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, I mean I wanted just to chime in

251
00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:18,919
for a second on that photo and then just say

252
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,639
again if that doesn't tell you all you need to know.

253
00:16:24,519 --> 00:16:26,600
And the fact that can we go back for a

254
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:30,799
quick second to the poll, to that slide that you

255
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:37,840
put up seven new national polls. You got Harris up

256
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,840
by four in the Civics, you have her up by

257
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,279
three in Ledger fau by two econ Yugov, which is

258
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:54,759
two Redfield Wilton two Angus read two Morning Console. One

259
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,639
reason I bring this up, can somebody please explain to

260
00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:04,200
me why it's within the margin of error for where

261
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,200
we're at. Trump is an idiot. Let's just all acknowledge that.

262
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,200
How many times have you heard me say he's racist,

263
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:19,200
he's sexist, he's misogynistic, he's xenophobic, he's homophobic, he's islamophobic,

264
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,000
and he's an anti semite to boot. And now that

265
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:26,640
you turn around and you heard it from the horse's mouth,

266
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,240
you heard it right from the AS's mouth himself. You

267
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,200
can't say this is Michael Cohen now saying something and

268
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,720
then putting words into Donald's mouth. This is once again

269
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:48,039
Donald on television during this NABJ conference, turning around and

270
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:56,279
saying things that are again, bash it crazy, And I'm

271
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,720
just trying to figure out, Ben, how is it that

272
00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:03,799
we're still within the margin of error for this election.

273
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:11,119
How is it not that Kamala is not up by

274
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,920
twenty points, that this election is already over before it started.

275
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,240
And I understand that Harris is winning. Don't get me wrong,

276
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,519
I am a believer. I've called the last four elections

277
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:28,440
correctly and almost almost one hundred percent, almost one hundred

278
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,200
percent for the state. So I feel very confident that

279
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:39,319
Kamala has got this. But my question is, how is

280
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,200
this even within the margin of error for these polls

281
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,359
when you have somebody who says the things that Donald

282
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,079
Trump says, and they are so revolting, they should be

283
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,359
revolting to every single American, all right, not just if

284
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,039
you're black, not just if you're a woman, not just

285
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:04,039
if you're a black woman, but it should be every

286
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:11,559
single person of every race, creed, color, gender, whatever, because

287
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,960
what he says is so un American. And to go

288
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,599
ahead and to have him in a race to be

289
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:26,839
president of the United States again says something about us.

290
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:29,680
It says something very badly about us.

291
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: It does, and we'd probably need an episode that would

292
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:35,960
last two to three hours where we can look at

293
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:42,480
the historical origins of the memo post Nixon that Rogerrel's

294
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:48,680
created to have a right wing propaganda network to permit lawlessness.

295
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:52,519
Roger al saw the direction that the nation was headed

296
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:56,640
and needed a propaganda network to lie to the people,

297
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,240
to basically brainwash people to avoid what happened to Nixon.

298
00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:05,519
When you had the Fourth Estate actually do its job

299
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:09,759
and on a bipartisan way, we could agree to objective reality.

300
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,799
So that started Michael Cohen in the nineteen seventies. So

301
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,000
where Fox is today in twenty twenty four, where it

302
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,519
was in the nineteen nineties was part of a generational plan.

303
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,039
The same thing with the Federalist Society. And I think

304
00:20:28,079 --> 00:20:32,920
that people who believe that our democracy would last forever,

305
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,240
and we believe that Roe v. Wade was the law

306
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:40,359
of the land, I think we took for granted the

307
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:45,000
fact that these freedoms would always be here. Meanwhile, you

308
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:50,319
had a propaganda network building. You had the Federalist Society

309
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,000
growing and picking out the JD. Vansays of the world

310
00:20:54,039 --> 00:20:57,599
and people like that and elevating them ultimately up to

311
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:02,119
the Supreme Court, so that you could ultimately have incongruous

312
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:07,839
outcomes where if you actually go through the issues, Michael Cohen,

313
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:13,079
seventy percent of America, seventy five percent of America agree

314
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,240
on issues of gun control and climate and women's reproductive

315
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:21,440
rights and wages and agency stuff and healthcare. I could

316
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,039
go on and on throughout the list how veterans should

317
00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:28,480
be treated. Yet you see polls that are very evenly divided.

318
00:21:28,839 --> 00:21:32,000
And what's to account for that is I think the

319
00:21:32,039 --> 00:21:36,200
phenomenon that I just described, which was generational. What we

320
00:21:36,279 --> 00:21:39,240
want to build here with political beat down, with the

321
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:42,359
Midas Mighty, with the Midas Touch network is Look, we

322
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,160
have a job to do each and every day when

323
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,119
we wake up rapid response. We got to put on

324
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,759
a show every day. But we have to be planning

325
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:57,559
also generationally to make sure that our freedoms are protected

326
00:21:57,599 --> 00:21:59,960
here in the United States. So, speaking of Roger l

327
00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,599
let me show you this. Let's go back to the

328
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:10,480
nineteen nineties an interview with Roger L's and Donald Trump. Okay,

329
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,480
Roger L's and Donald Trump. And in this interview with

330
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:19,200
Roger L's, Donald Trump contrasts his casinos with ones on

331
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,039
Indian reservations, and Trump says his casino is great for

332
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:29,599
the country, but Indian gaming will cause the greatest single

333
00:22:29,799 --> 00:22:33,799
crime wave in the history of the country. It's the

334
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:38,599
same exact language, it's the same template, and Fox pushed

335
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,039
that over and over again. Here, let's play this clip.

336
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:41,880
Let me show you.

337
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,759
Speaker 4: Atlantic City's way up from last year, way up from

338
00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:47,039
the year before. It's having the best year it's ever had.

339
00:22:47,319 --> 00:22:49,160
And I don't say it's great for the country, but

340
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,640
you know, more and more you're seeing this. I will

341
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,079
say this, I think the greatest crime wave in this

342
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,960
country is going to be caused by the Indian gaming.

343
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,119
I think it's totally out of control. I don't think

344
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,400
it's properly supervised. The politicians are doing a tremendous service too.

345
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 5: What's going on.

346
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:07,799
Speaker 4: I mean, the great great crime wave, the al capone

347
00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:10,960
crime wave of this time, of this generation, is going

348
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,759
to be cause, in my opinion, by what's happening on

349
00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:15,599
the Indian reservations with respect to what I consider to

350
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:16,759
be unsupervised gaming.

351
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: It's the same exact thing, but occasionally.

352
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: People, Yeah, let me just explain to what he's talking about.

353
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:30,359
There because it needs to be put into context. At

354
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,480
that time, his casinos were failing and he could talk

355
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:38,079
about Atlantic City was doing great, and soon he was not.

356
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,279
And we know this because he had filed a Chapter

357
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:46,319
eleven reorganization three or four times. What he's referring to

358
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,839
is the fact that the Indian gaming do not pay

359
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:56,279
taxes and so all the profit that they make is profit,

360
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:01,480
whereas in his casinos and profit that's made he pays

361
00:24:01,559 --> 00:24:04,559
taxes on. Plus he has the unions that he has

362
00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:08,359
to deal with. So he saw it as a disadvantage

363
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:12,799
to the system and he wanted them to shut down.

364
00:24:13,559 --> 00:24:16,119
This is what he wanted. He wanted them to shut

365
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:22,480
down the Indian gaming reservations like the ones in Connecticut

366
00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:26,400
and so on, because he found he felt that he

367
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,839
was not able to compete or that they were getting

368
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,480
a leg up over standardized gaming, despite the fact that

369
00:24:35,519 --> 00:24:40,799
people like Steve Winn or MGM, or you know, guys

370
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:46,240
like Tilman Fertita with a golden nugget, they were all

371
00:24:46,319 --> 00:24:49,799
killing it at the time. Donald Trump is just a

372
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:53,240
bad operator when it came to casinos, plain and simple.

373
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:56,519
I mean, just think about how many casinos do you

374
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,880
know that go under and the answer is very very few.

375
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: Well, at that time you had Kirk coryan MGM. He

376
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:07,559
was crushing it at that time, and Donald Trump was

377
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:11,400
losing all that money. Here was another moment, this moment

378
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,640
of this committee hearing that Donald Trump attended in nineteen

379
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,519
ninety three, though so reminded me of the type of

380
00:25:20,599 --> 00:25:24,559
language that he's always been using. But specifically we see

381
00:25:24,599 --> 00:25:28,240
it more and more right now against Vice President Kamala Harris.

382
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,240
Let me show you this one right here, because when

383
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,759
I watch some of this stuff in the past, you

384
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,839
really see that it's prologue for what we see right

385
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,000
now here. Let's play this clip.

386
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 6: Is this you discussing Indian blood. We're going to judge

387
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,079
people by whether they have Indian blood, whether they qualified

388
00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:46,400
to run a gaming casino or not.

389
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,759
Speaker 7: That probably is me absolutely, because I'll tell you what

390
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,079
if you look, if you look at some of the

391
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,920
reservations that you've approved, you so your great wisdom have approved,

392
00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:00,240
I will tell you right now, they don't look like

393
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:03,000
Indians to me, and they don't look like to Indians. Now,

394
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,920
maybe we stay politically correct or not politically correct, they

395
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,160
don't look like Indians to me.

396
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,799
Speaker 6: And they don't look like Indians to Indians, And.

397
00:26:09,759 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 7: A lot of people are laughing at it, and you're

398
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,960
telling how tough it is, how rough it is to

399
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,160
get approved when you go up to Connecticut and you look.

400
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,759
Speaker 6: Now, they don't look like Indians to me, sir, Thank god.

401
00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:24,599
That's not the test of whether or not people have

402
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,440
rights in this country or not. Whether or not they

403
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:29,440
pass your look test depends whether yeah, it depends whether

404
00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:31,000
or not you're approving it to No.

405
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: No, it's not a question whether I'm improving it. That's

406
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,160
not a question what I'm improving.

407
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,319
Speaker 6: Its trump you know, you know, in the history of

408
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,920
this country where we've heard this discussion before, they don't

409
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,000
look Jewish to me. They don't look Indian to me,

410
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,640
they don't look Italian to me.

411
00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:49,799
Speaker 3: And that was a test for whether people could go

412
00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:51,960
into business or not go into business, whether they could

413
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:52,720
get a bank loan.

414
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 6: You're too black, you're not black enough.

415
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,279
Speaker 1: So now compare that Micao code.

416
00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: By the way, that's the point of what he was

417
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:09,480
doing at the NA at the NABJ. All right, Kamala

418
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:13,799
Harris is not black enough for him, all right, which

419
00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:16,799
is why he's trying to run on this concept that

420
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,119
she's not black at all, but rather Indian. There's nothing

421
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,559
that Donald Trump is saying today that ben You and

422
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:28,000
I can't find a clip on something that Donald has

423
00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:32,920
said and done before. It's why he knows absolutely nothing

424
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:38,079
nothing about DEI. And when it was brought up again

425
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,680
by Rachel Scott, the first thing says, define it, define it.

426
00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:44,279
He doesn't even know. He doesn't even know what it

427
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,599
stands for. He doesn't understand what it's all about. And

428
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,799
it's not that he can't understand it, it's because he

429
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,519
doesn't give a shit to understand it, because it doesn't

430
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:56,319
benefit him at all.

431
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,599
Speaker 1: It's exactly why, though I wanted to show that clip

432
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,640
from nineteen ninety three, and then this clip from July

433
00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:08,000
thirty first, twenty twenty four, the one that you just referenced.

434
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,039
You're Jeremy Cole.

435
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 8: Follow up, sir, and then we'll move on to other

436
00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:15,359
questions here. Some of your own supporters, including Republicans on

437
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,000
Capitol Hill, have labeled Vice President Kamala Harris, who is

438
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:21,240
the first black and Asian American woman to serve as

439
00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:23,799
vice president be on a major party ticket, as a

440
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,960
DEI hire.

441
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 6: Is that acceptable language to you?

442
00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:30,799
Speaker 8: And will you tell those Republicans and those supporters to

443
00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:31,319
stop it?

444
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 6: How do you how do you define DEEI? Go ahead?

445
00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:37,759
How do you define diversity? Equity inclusion? Okay, yeah, go ahead?

446
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:39,799
Is that what your definition? Give me? That is that?

447
00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:41,720
That is? Give me a definition? Then would you give

448
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,400
me a definition? Yeah? Yeah, give me a definition, Sara.

449
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,319
Speaker 8: I'm asking you a question.

450
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 6: You have to find it, define the define it from

451
00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:49,319
me if you I just defined it, sir.

452
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 8: Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only

453
00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:53,599
on the ticket because she is a black woman?

454
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 6: Well, I can say no. I think it's maybe a

455
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:56,759
little bit different.

456
00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 4: So an owner, a long time intorec not directly very much,

457
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,480
and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was

458
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,920
only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black

459
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,599
until a number of years ago when she happened to

460
00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:15,119
turn black. And now she wants to be known as black.

461
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,880
So I don't know is she Indian or is she black?

462
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,599
Speaker 8: She is always I.

463
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 4: Respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she was

464
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,920
Indian all the way. And then all of a sudden

465
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,440
she made a turn and she went she became a black.

466
00:29:32,079 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 6: I think somebody should look into that too.

467
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,599
Speaker 4: When you ask a continue in a very hostile, nasty tone.

468
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: It's a direct, hostile, nasty tone, he says. And then

469
00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:45,759
he does that weird thing too where he like talks

470
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:46,480
like a baby.

471
00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 6: She said she was black.

472
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a There's so many aspects even

473
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,680
within the racist answer that deserve extra attention as well

474
00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:00,920
of this pathology right here anyway, I want to talk

475
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,200
more with you, Michael Cohen about that. I want to

476

that shrimp and put in a lot of bacon in there.

588
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:14,800
You know, by the way, I didn't realize that bacon

589
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,239
is actually good for you. No, it's not.

590
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:21,559
Speaker 1: I don't really get Just so you know, con really

591
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:23,800

592
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:25,280
sometimes Cohen.

593
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 2: The sheets are very good to wash. Von Schitz and

594
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,039
Pants actually told me that.

595
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,079
Speaker 1: Let me show you what Let me show you what else.

596
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:36,199
Donald Trump has been posting. You know, he's selling new sneakers.

597
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,840
So he previously sold those ugly gold fake red bottoms,

598
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,679
fake gold. Then he sold the Assassination Edition sneakers, like

599
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:50,599
actually sold assassination attempt sneakers. Now he's selling as well,

600
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,800
Bitcoin sneakers. There they are and he's promoting that the

601
00:37:56,039 --> 00:37:59,519
Trump it says crypto president on him. They're incredibly ugly,

602
00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:02,519
and he says, go have fun, go to get Trump

603
00:38:02,519 --> 00:38:06,840
sneakers dot com before they are gone. I mean, how

604
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,760
bizarre can you It's not bizarre.

605
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 2: It's not bizarre. It's not bizarre. Donald Trump is for sale.

606
00:38:16,159 --> 00:38:19,719
You've heard me say this a thousand times. He sold pardons,

607
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:25,559
he sold nuclear secrets, he sold everything. In fact, if

608
00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:28,199
he could, he would have taken half the paintings and

609
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,679
half the furniture out of the White House and sold

610
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,159
that too. He doesn't care about any of this stuff.

611
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,239
It's all about the mighty dollar. I mean, he's got

612
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,920
his you know, some of his biggest supporters. He's got

613
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,039
the Vinkeelbas brothers that are there. That's where this bitcoin

614
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:47,000
sneaker is now coming from. Listen, if you go back

615
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:50,760
in time, you will hear Donald talk about how all

616
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,519
of this crypto is a scam. It's a complete and

617
00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:57,679
total scam. It's predicated on nothing, it's based on the air.

618
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,719
It's being manufactured and manipulary just a couple of people

619
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,079
who will ultimately dump it. These are the things that

620
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:09,480
Donald used to say. But but all of a sudden,

621
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,519
all of a sudden, he needs the money, right, and

622
00:39:13,599 --> 00:39:17,679
so in comes the billionaire class. And by the way,

623
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,519
I don't blame them for what they're doing. But what

624
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:23,519
I am doing is I am warning each and every

625
00:39:23,559 --> 00:39:26,280
one of our followers, and then I ask you and

626
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:31,000
everybody else to pass this message along. Donald Trump is

627
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:35,239
for sale and America will be for sale as well.

628
00:39:35,559 --> 00:39:37,920
So when people say, oh, well, you know, I have

629
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,559
to vote for Donald because I'm you know, pro Israel,

630
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,840
Israel will be for sale, as is Ukraine. When Putin

631
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:52,800
comes forward and provides Donald with some financial benefit for him,

632
00:39:53,159 --> 00:39:56,320
he will turn around and he will cease helping you

633
00:39:56,639 --> 00:40:01,760
Ukraine with anything, financial munitions, etc. All right, and he

634
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,159
will allow Russia to walk straight through, and now all

635
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:08,719
of a sudden, once they finish with that, they're on

636
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,840
the way to Poland, which of course is part of NAFTA.

637
00:40:14,199 --> 00:40:18,119
He doesn't care, he's not gonna care about that. He's

638
00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:21,000
gonna I'm sorry NATO. He's gonna turn around and he's

639
00:40:21,039 --> 00:40:24,719
just gonna say, you know what, we're out. We're out

640
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,000
of NATO, which is something he talked about before. And

641
00:40:28,039 --> 00:40:31,679
I don't know why people just don't see the writing

642
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,400
on the wall, which brings me right back to where

643
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:39,480
we've already gone twice, which is the clip showing the

644
00:40:39,559 --> 00:40:44,960
different polls. I don't get it. I just don't understand

645
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:48,519
how it's still within the margin of error. We know

646
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,599
the damage he's going to do, and yet we close

647
00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:56,559
our eyes thinking that by closing our eyes, by doing

648
00:40:56,559 --> 00:40:58,320
that like you do with a child, and you go

649
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,840
peek a boo, that all he can't see, nobody can see.

650
00:41:02,039 --> 00:41:06,039
And so on. Why are we going down to Donald's

651
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,519
to Donald's umbuh, you know, mentality? Why why are we

652
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,119
degrading ourselves? We need to stand up. We need to

653
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,800
fight like hell. And when I say fight like kell,

654
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,519
I'm talking about at the ballot box. We need to

655
00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:24,960
make sure every single American who is capable of voting

656
00:41:25,599 --> 00:41:30,800
is registered to vote and votes Democrat votes Blue, straight

657
00:41:31,039 --> 00:41:34,639
up and down the entire ticket, plain and simple, because

658
00:41:34,679 --> 00:41:37,599
that's the only way that we're going to stop this

659
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,320
bullshit once and for all.

660
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: You know, one of the points that you made earlier

661
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,280
in the week, I was saying, well, why is Donald Trump,

662
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,119
you know, doing that? You're like because Bend, he doesn't

663
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:52,280
have any policy to talk about, so all he wants

664
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,239
to talk about are things like whether it was the

665
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,239
bullet versus the shrapnel or a piece of glass that

666
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,320
hit his ear and Butler Pennsylvania because for him he

667
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:07,480
can say bullet, bullet, bullet versus what's your healthcare plan? Donald?

668
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,800
What are you really going to do to protect Social Security?

669
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,400
What's your plan regarding Medicare? What's your infrastructure plan that

670
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,559
you promised you were going to roll out but fail

671
00:42:17,639 --> 00:42:19,639
to remember when you said you were going to have

672
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:22,679
a plan that was better than Obamacare, better than the

673
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,920
Affordable Care Act and then did nothing.

674
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 2: And you said the same about immigration, what's your immigration plan?

675
00:42:29,159 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: How did his plan was to destroy You know, you

676
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,480
have to think about it, right destroy the bipartisan bill

677
00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:41,360
that would have done more to help the situation on

678
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,280
the border than ever before. Donald Trump ordered Maga Mike

679
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:51,079
to kill a bipartisan border deal whose lead negotiator was

680
00:42:51,119 --> 00:42:57,840
the very conservative Senator Republican from Oklahoma, James Langford, and

681
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,159
Trump said, nope, Langford, and you may have devoted your

682
00:43:01,159 --> 00:43:05,800
whole life to this President. Biden led these bipartisan negotiations.

683
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,199
Biden's a great negotiator. Actually, I mean, look at him

684
00:43:08,199 --> 00:43:12,599
bring the hostages back, which Trump did not do when

685
00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:16,239
Trump was.

686
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 2: And with somebody who he calls, you know, his close friends,

687
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,719
his you know, his ally, my pal who I'm writing

688
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,880
love letters to. Right what Donald.

689
00:43:26,639 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: Trump previously said, right here, Michael Cohen, he says.

690
00:43:29,199 --> 00:43:31,679
Speaker 2: Can We'll do that for me, but not for anyone else? Well,

691
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,039
guess what once again, Donald wrong?

692
00:43:36,039 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 6: Wrong?

693
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,199
Speaker 2: And I mean it's look, I can go. I want

694
00:43:40,199 --> 00:43:42,719
to say it now for the fourth time because I think, Ben,

695
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,159
it's important that we just keep hammering the same thing home.

696
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,320
How Why why are the polls even as close as

697
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,599
they are? Why are we still within the margin of error?

698
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,920
Do you not see that every single thing that this

699
00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:02,320
man utters at of his mouth is either inaccurate or

700
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,639
just plain straight up bullshit.

701
00:44:05,519 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: Well, I'll give you an example. Like let's take today

702
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:13,519
for example, right President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris bring

703
00:44:13,599 --> 00:44:19,400
these hostages home. Vice President Kamala Harris surging in the polls.

704
00:44:20,039 --> 00:44:23,840
When she gives speeches, she's talking about issues. She's talking

705
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:28,960
about protecting women's reproductive rights. She's talking about things like

706
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,599
the border. She's saying, I, if you were to elect me,

707
00:44:33,159 --> 00:44:36,239
I'm going to make sure we push forward the bipartisan

708
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,480
border bill that Donald Trump was you know, killed, And

709
00:44:40,199 --> 00:44:43,239
these are important issues to me. Now, what's the right

710
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,920
wing talking about all day today? Talking about in the

711
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:52,880
Olympics an Algerian boxer who beat the Italian boxer and

712
00:44:53,159 --> 00:44:56,199
they're saying that the out that in Algeria that this

713
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,039
boxer was a was a trans boxer who beat the

714
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:06,159
Italian female boxer, and that's somehow the United States government

715
00:45:06,199 --> 00:45:10,960
should be involved in the Internet boxing Olympics commission to

716
00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:14,800
determine what the what the boxing rules are. And the

717
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,719
people in Algeria, by the way, in Algeria, they like

718
00:45:19,039 --> 00:45:21,719
we're saying Algeria is like supposed to be what like

719
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,480
a woke like, what are they even arguing without with Algeria?

720
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,559
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

721
00:45:28,679 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: But here's the but here's the here's my point though.

722
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,719
My point is is that they will seize an issue

723
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,960
like that, they will talk about it the whole day,

724
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:45,039
and then they'll show the image of the Italian female

725
00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:50,400
boxer losing, and then they'll try to insinuate to to

726
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:54,239
the American population that somehow this should be the role

727
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,239
of the presidency to get involved in a boxing match

728
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,559
and how boxers are sotified.

729
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 8: It.

730
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:05,039
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. But then you think about

731
00:46:05,079 --> 00:46:07,320
what they also talk about. What do they talk about

732
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:11,039
all the time? The bathrooms? You know, this person goes

733
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,440
to the bathroom, and so they bring up these issues

734
00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:18,880
because that Frankly, you know, I was teaching a class

735
00:46:18,519 --> 00:46:23,519
in law school as a professor, and there was all

736
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:27,519
this effort to block a trans athlete from playing a sport,

737
00:46:27,639 --> 00:46:29,719
and I think it was in West Virginia, went all

738
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,079
the way to the top court of West Virginia. Then

739
00:46:32,119 --> 00:46:36,320
I asked my class, I said, how many trans athletes

740
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,039
do you think we're in West Virginia that this case

741
00:46:39,159 --> 00:46:43,480
actually impacted where you had one hundred and fifty of

742
00:46:43,519 --> 00:46:47,000
the like the top like lawyers on all different sides

743
00:46:47,039 --> 00:46:50,559
of like political spectrums, probably hundreds of millions of dollars

744
00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:53,360
in legal fies. Cohen, what would your guest be this

745
00:46:53,519 --> 00:46:56,400
whole case that worked its way up. How many athletes

746
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,719
were they actually talking about where this was an issue?

747
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 6: Was one one?

748
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,159
Speaker 1: They were talking about one person? And you know, it's

749
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,039
a long way of answering your question. But what this

750
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:15,920
right wing propaganda echo chamber wants to do is use

751
00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:20,320
hate and bullying and all of these things to distract

752
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,519
people from the kitchen table type issues that actually impact

753
00:47:24,599 --> 00:47:27,199
their family because they don't have policies and points.

754
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 2: So one of the funniest things is when I saw

755
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,199
the Republicans and I saw you know, the Trump acolytes

756
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,599
out there attacking you know, President Biden regarding this topic,

757
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,679
it brought me right back to an issue that I

758
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,719
dealt with for him many years ago. Also, as I

759
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,159
was on the board, it was me, it was Trump

760
00:47:48,199 --> 00:47:51,760
and Alan Weiselberg represented the board for the Miss Universe

761
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:57,280
pageant and there was a transgender contestant it would I

762
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,360
think her name was her lessons like Ala Kova, and

763
00:48:02,119 --> 00:48:08,199
they didn't want her competing because she was transgender. Well,

764
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,480
Glory already jumped in and I had lunch with her

765
00:48:12,599 --> 00:48:15,800
and another gentleman that worked for her, And while she

766
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:18,880
was on her way to California to do a press conference,

767
00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:22,000
you know, attacking Donald Trump because they didn't want to

768
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:24,639
do it, what we ultimately ended up doing while she

769
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,119
was in the air is just deciding that we were

770
00:48:27,159 --> 00:48:30,079
going to follow Get a load of this bend ready.

771
00:48:30,519 --> 00:48:38,199
We were going to follow the Olympic rules regarding transgender participation,

772
00:48:38,519 --> 00:48:41,559
which is, if it's that's what it says on your

773
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:47,599
birth certificate, whether it's revised or not, that's your gender identity.

774
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,960
And so we let her compete. She was competing for Canada.

775
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,400
She never made it into the finals in order to

776
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,079
go to the Miss Universe pageant. It was a local

777
00:48:58,119 --> 00:49:03,800
Canadian you know, petition. But we followed the Olympic rule.

778
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,000
Now all of a sudden, we're not following the Olympic rule.

779
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:10,119
There's a new rule to follow. So when it benefits him,

780
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,000
that's the rule we follow. When it doesn't benefit him,

781
00:49:13,119 --> 00:49:16,840
when we expand it in order to make it no rule.

782
00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:22,239
I mean, I again, it's so typical Donald, For God's sakes,

783
00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:28,159
my friends. We need to educate. We need to educate Maga.

784
00:49:28,559 --> 00:49:32,079
We need to educate those that, for whatever the reason

785
00:49:32,159 --> 00:49:37,480
might be, are still undecided. We have what ninety four

786
00:49:37,559 --> 00:49:41,440
days left before the election. There is no time to stop.

787
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:46,679
We need to continuously keep educating them on the dangers

788
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,880
of this man and the danger that he poses to

789
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,239
America's Democratic Republic, plain and simple.

790
00:49:54,079 --> 00:49:59,519
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's posting purportedly Vice President Kamala Harris's birth certificate

791
00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:04,599
right now, that's he's back to doing that. And you

792
00:50:04,639 --> 00:50:08,000
know her, her dad's side of the family is Jamaican,

793
00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:12,280
her mom's side is Indian. We did a little ven

794
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,760
diagram right there. That's Kamala the ven diagram for Donald

795
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:21,679
Trump right there is Trump is fraudster and rapist equals

796
00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:24,880
Donald Trump in the ven diagram right there. Just a

797
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:29,639
helpful graphic. And this whole idea that Donald Trump's now

798
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:34,119
pushing that Vice President Kamala Harris is is not black.

799
00:50:34,199 --> 00:50:37,599
I mean it again, it is that this is what

800
00:50:37,639 --> 00:50:41,760
he's reposting. Not only does Kamala harris own bird certificate

801
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:46,960
prove that she's lying about being black, but I mean again,

802
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:51,519
how is this the leader of a major political Party

803
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,920
in the United States of America. Then he has your buddy,

804
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,920
Elena Habba. I'm joking, of course, she spoke at the Harrisburg,

805
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,559
Pennsylvania event. She's one of the keynote speakers. Now and

806
00:51:04,639 --> 00:51:07,199
here let me show you what Elena Habba said yesterday.

807
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:08,000
Here played this club.

808
00:51:10,599 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 5: I am a strong woman, a mom, a lawyer, and

809
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:27,800
an American And unlike you, Kamala, I know who my

810
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,639
roots are. I know where I come from, and I

811
00:51:31,679 --> 00:51:33,519
don't play around with the Constitution.

812
00:51:39,079 --> 00:51:42,599
Speaker 1: It's like watching the Idiocracy movie. It's like watching I

813
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:43,679
know what makes it?

814
00:51:44,039 --> 00:51:46,079
Speaker 2: Then what makes it even worse?

815
00:51:54,519 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 1: Not sure did we lose Cohen there? For a second.

816
00:51:56,639 --> 00:51:59,440
Coen was going to say what makes it even worse? There?

817
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,800
But as I was saying it to me, is like

818
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,800
watching Idiocracy. And I've seen some of the actors from

819
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:11,719
Idiocracy who were recently interviewed saying, like when they watched

820
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,599
Hulk Hogan on stage at the Republican National Convention and

821
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,880
Hulk Hogan was ripping off his shirt. I mean, the

822
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:26,039
main speaker before Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention

823
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:33,000
was Hulk Hogan, a former WWE wrestler who gets up

824
00:52:33,039 --> 00:52:36,960
on stage and he rips off his shirt and he goes,

825
00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:42,000
I'm the Hulkster, and the Hulkster's telling you that if

826
00:52:42,039 --> 00:52:45,119
you don't vote for Donald Trump, the Hulkster is gonna

827
00:52:45,159 --> 00:52:47,039
beat you down or something like that.

828
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm watching this and I'm like, what is happening to

829
00:52:51,679 --> 00:52:55,760
our what's going on here? I'm just saying, this is

830
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,199
not normal, and there are people's freedoms and rights that

831
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,440
are on the line, and this is what we are seeing.

832
00:53:02,599 --> 00:53:07,000
This is what's dominating the coverage of the Republican National Convention.

833
00:53:07,079 --> 00:53:11,400
And look, Michael Cohen read the transcript from part of

834
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,239
that interview at the National Association of Black Journalists.

835
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,679
Speaker 1: But let me read you this. This is from Donald

836
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:22,599
Trump's June ninth, twenty twenty four speech. And we'll wait

837
00:53:22,639 --> 00:53:24,880
for Cohen to come back, but I'll read this to

838
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,079
you just to hear the types of things that Donald

839
00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:29,280
Trump says. And I think when you see it in

840
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:33,000
a transcript form, it kind of brings it home in

841
00:53:33,039 --> 00:53:36,360
a different way. Trump's giving a speech to the audience

842
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,480
in Las Vegas and he goes, so, I said, let

843
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,719
me ask you a question, and he said, nobody ever

844
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,599
asked this question and it must be because of Mit.

845
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,559
My relationship to Mit. Very smart, he goes. I say,

846
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,920
what would happen if the boat sank from its weight

847
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,119
and you're in the boat and you have this tremendously

848
00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,880
powerful battery and the batteries now underwater, and there's a

849
00:54:01,039 --> 00:54:03,960
shark that's approximately ten yards over there by the way.

850
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:05,800
A lot of shark attacks, lady.

851
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,519
Speaker 3: Did you notice that a lot of shark I watched

852
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:10,400
some guys justifying it today.

853
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: Well, they weren't really that angry.

854
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,639
Speaker 3: They bit off the young lady's leg because of the

855
00:54:14,639 --> 00:54:18,880
fact that they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what

856
00:54:19,039 --> 00:54:19,960
who she was.

857
00:54:20,119 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: These people are cray, he said, there's no problem with sharks,

858
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,079
they just didn't really understand a young woman swimming now

859
00:54:27,199 --> 00:54:30,039
really got decimated and other people to a lot of

860
00:54:30,079 --> 00:54:33,679
shark attacks. So I said, so there's a shark ten

861
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,400
years away from the boat, ten yards away from the

862
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,960
boat ten yards or here? Do I get electrocuted? The

863
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,159
boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat

864
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,199
is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat

865
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,400
and get electrocuted? Or do I jump over by the

866
00:54:48,519 --> 00:54:51,880
shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you

867
00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:55,320
he know the answer. He said, you know, nobody's ever

868
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,880
asked me that question. I said, I think it's a

869
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,679
good question. I think there's a lot of election current

870
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,920
coming through that water. But you know what I do,

871
00:55:04,079 --> 00:55:07,360
if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I'll

872
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:11,679
take electrocution every single time. I'm not going near the

873
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:16,280
shar This is the type of things that he's saying

874
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:21,079
at his traveling fascist circus events that he calls rallies,

875
00:55:21,119 --> 00:55:26,400
and for far too long, the corporate media has normalized this,

876
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:33,159
and fortunately the Midas Mighty community, we've reclaimed our agency,

877
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:37,440
We've reclaimed our power, and we've reclaimed what gets front

878
00:55:37,519 --> 00:55:42,800
page coverage in our media network. By our media network.

879
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:47,000
I'm talking about you, the Beatdown Brigaders, the Midas Mighty,

880
00:55:47,679 --> 00:55:52,039
the legal efforts we programmed this. Now together we decide

881
00:55:52,039 --> 00:55:55,039
what's on the front page, and what's on the front

882
00:55:55,039 --> 00:56:00,559
page is our desire to protect and defend our democracy,

883
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,639
our freedoms, and our rights, and to call out this

884
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:11,519
behavior by Donald Trump and Shadey Vance and Maga, Mike

885
00:56:11,639 --> 00:56:14,400
Johnson and all these people who want to take away

886
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,519
our freedoms. The corporate media may go along with their

887
00:56:18,639 --> 00:56:23,559
hustle to try to distract us from the facts and

888
00:56:23,599 --> 00:56:27,159
the truth then the evidence. But we won't be distracted

889
00:56:27,199 --> 00:56:31,679
here on the Midas Touch Network on political Beatdown. That's why,

890
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,800
according to Jeremy, the latest view count for forty eight

891
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:40,320
hours is actually twenty five million, seven hundred and fifty

892
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,440
thousand views over the past forty eight hours, again beating

893
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,599
Fox Seed at an MSNBC. And that's thanks to you.

894
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 3: I mean, Cohen's having potentially some connections issues, so I

895
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,800
will give the two finger salute on his behalf.

896
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: The two finger salute goes to Donald Trump and Shadey Vans,

897
00:57:00,519 --> 00:57:03,519
especially Donald Trump for what he did in the National

898
00:57:03,639 --> 00:57:10,360
Association of Black Journalists. His behavior there was abhorrent, it

899
00:57:10,599 --> 00:57:14,559
was disqualifying, and for that, Donald Trump, I give you

900
00:57:15,039 --> 00:57:18,280
the two finger salute. I want to remind everybody about
