Speaker 1: Welcome to Political beat Down. You got Michael Cohen, you
got Ben Mycellus, and moments ago you got the Midas
Touch Network hitting two million, two million subscribers, Midas Mighty,
you did it. There it is right there. Oh, don't decrease.
Go up million, two million subscribers right there and growing
there we go two million and nine. Thank you all
so much. We have such an incredible team here. I
want to thank Salty, Jeremy, my brothers, Michael Cohen, our
incredible other hosts of our shows here, everybody from Michael
Popak to Karen Friedman Igniffolo. I could go on and
name every single one of our hosts on all of
our shows, but that would take the full time. You
know who you are. Thank you so much for all
you do for this network, and thank you to you
beat Down Brigaders, the Midas Mighty, the legal afforts and
continuing to grow this community. In Cohen. Here's another good
data point as well, that the Midas Touch Network is
now beating Fox on YouTube. The new charts came out
that shows that it's Midas Touch Fox and then Forbes
in that order, and then we're eighth globally of all
YouTube channels across all genres and in the US right
now number one. And to me, what that shows is
what we're actually seeing out there in the United States
of America when you actually talk to people, the United
States of America is a pro democracy, normalcy craving place.
And don't get me wrong, there's MAGA out there, but
that's not the United States of America. We saw that
with some of the exit polls in New Hampshire. We
saw that with how close New Hampshire was. We see
that throughout this country, and Michael Cohen, I think you
see it with the growth of shows like this, platforms
like this that are just focused on the facts, normalcy,
bringing people together.
Speaker 2: Listen, you know, thank you to each and every one
of our brigaders. Thank you to those that follow all
of the various different podcasts on the Minus Touch network.
One of the things that Ben and I when we
first started speaking about not just the Maya Culpa podcasts,
which I'm proud to announce you know exists on this
network that's the one with the blue icon, but when
we decided to do this political beatdown and to create
this community with you in order to make a difference,
one of the things that One of the reasons I
should say that we decided to do this is because
of the extensive misinformation, dis information, malinformation that is out
there in this eco sphere of news or fake news.
And I hate to use that term because it's a
term that Donald von shitzen Pants uses all the time,
but it happens to be accurate that there is so
much misinformation, disinformation and malinformation that's being spewed. So our job,
our goal in starting this was to ensure that everything
that we talk about here, everything that we show you,
all of the information is not created for a specific purpose.
But these are facts, and we will do everything in
our power to continue to promote the facts so that
more and more and more people have an opportunity to
understand what's really going on out there.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the facts that took play and the
Egen Carol defamation federal trial against Donald Trump. It was
delayed on Monday, where Alena Habba said that she had
exposure to COVID. Also during number three had called in sick.
And though we saw Alena Habba in New Hampshire, she
seemed to be doing pretty fine there and they actually
kicked out a MAGA influencer who posted a photo with
Alna get.
Speaker 2: A young kid named Dylan Quatucci took a photo and
posted it and that obviously sent von schitzen Pants into
a you know, into a frenzy, and they ended up
having this kid, who is part of the staff or
somehow affiliated there you go, had him thrown out of
the event. My statement that I put onto my Twitter
account or my exec count if Alina Hobbla was really
at the New Hampshire victory event last night, pictured here
with Trump's staffer Dylan Quatrucci. The the it should say
the ear to ear smile will disappear when she returns
to Judge Caplan's courtroom tomorrow. You know, one of the
things I absolutely hate is my eyesight is absolutely going.
But worse is when you have the spell change that
that drives me crazy. I really do have to take
these things slower. But I meant ear to ear smile,
which she had. I spoke with friends of mine who
are in the courtroom today and I'll tell you to
my dismay, Judge Caplin did not do what I thought
he would do, and that would be to put her
on the stand and ask her where was she last
night or on you know, on uh was it Tuesday? Wednesday?
Speaker 1: Tuesday? On Tuesday?
Speaker 2: Where were you on Tuesday night? Were you not feeling well?
Did you not tell the court that you were under
the weather? Can you explain? And then he has every
right to admonish her, to sanction her, to hold her accountable.
The only reason I can imagine that this thing took
the route that it did is simply because one of
the jurors also stated that they weren't feeling well. Possible COVID,
which clearly it was not. Because everybody was back in
the courtroom today and again proceeding forward.
Speaker 1: And so look, I think that Judge Kaplan wants this
to go to verdict already. And there was a question
if Donald Trump was going to try to testify, and
if so, what was the scope? So egan Carol and
her lawyers. They rested their case today, introduced some other
kind of deposition testimony, some of Donald Trump's statements that
he's been giving recently, in order to kind of put
forward the financials for the punitive damages aspect of the case.
They played clips where Donald Trump was bragging about how
valuable mar A Lago is and that it's a billion
dollars or a billion five. So they used Trump's words
against him. When Trump was bragging about how rich he was,
to say, look for punitive damages, you have to assess
net worth. Donald Trump says he's mar A Lago alone
is worth one point.
Speaker 2: Then he also said that the Durrel was worth three
and a half billion, and that is just a pittance
compared to the value of the brand. I mean, the
guy's really fucking delusional. That value of the brand exceeds
Durral and mar A Lago combined combined. You talking about
five billion dollars. Let me be very clear. I think
Donald paid something like one hundred million dollars for the Durral,
and I can assure you in the few years that
he has owned the Doral, it has not gone up
year over year by twenty five one hundred percent per annum.
I can assure you that it did not. So where
he's coming up with this two and a half billion
dollar number, I don't know. What I'd like to see
is the City of Homestead, which is kind of like
where it's ad or a Miami, whichever has the actual
taxable control over the property. What I'd really love to
see is them now retax the property at a three
and a half billion or a two and a half
billion dollar valuation and Palm Beach to do the same
as it relates tomorrow, Lago. That's the way I see it.
Speaker 1: Fuck it, and then it'll be a nine figure tax
bill if you go back and pay where he's purposefully
also deflated the valuations of the property so as to
pay less property taxes. Regardless the fact that Donald Trump's
boasting on tape or an in deposition about his net
worth was used for punitive damages. He didn't even have
to ask Donald Trump about how much money he has
because he brags about it all the time. So that happened.
The plaintiffs closed their presentation of evidence, Alena Habba called,
you know, one other witness and the.
Speaker 2: Question was fifteen my cell phone, Big Ben literally exploded.
Everybody that was there inside the courtroom. All the journalists
reached out to me and they said by text, you're
not going to believe this. Trump is taking the stand,
and he did. Alena Habba called up as a witness
in this case. You can't I mean, I can't imagine
anything stupider, right, So they call up Donald Trump as
a witness in the case, and everyone's jaw dropped. Well,
lo and behold, Judge Caplin warns him again that there
are several things that he may not do. He may
answer the questions, but he may not defein eging Carol.
He may not deny that the assault, that the rape
took place, that's already been decided. There have already been
several there have been several issues that are not in contention,
and that Judge Caplin warned Trump that he would not
allow him to speak of if in fact, you know,
the questions are asked, well, right out of the gate,
the very first question, Donald goes on another tirade. He
does it for question number two, and he does it
again for question number three, at which point in time
they rested. Donald then got off the stand and that
was the end of this massive, massive I want to
take the stand, I want to testify, And so what
he really wanted to do is to continue to defame
Egene Carroll. Which look, think about it this way. If
you have a loose wire attached to a lamp, and
every time that you turn the lamp on, you get
shot how many times are you going to turn that
lamp on before you stop turning it on? Because you're
electrocuting yourself, and the answer should be once to the
wise is sufficient. But not for Donald. He was going
to continue to use the court to defame her, knowing
that there's a press pool inside there and that he
would be able to use it as let's just say, uh,
more fodder to gain more money from grifting to his supporters.
Judge Caplan shut that shit down one, two, three, stopped
him in his tracks. Everybody's waiting for the release of
the transcript to see whether he even meaning. Judge Caplan
even redacted the transcript where it did not even acknowledge
a yes or no or the responses thereafter by Donald.
We're all waiting to see that.
Speaker 1: And it started with Alena Habba calling Donald Trump to
take the stand, and Alena Habbas said, we hereby call
President Donald Trump to the witness stand. Judge Caplan immediately
corrected her and said, you mean Donald John Trump, Alena Habba,
not President Donald Trump. Donald Donald John Trump, the defendant
in this case. So just setting the tone, you don't
get to call yourself things that you're not right now
in my courtroom. Even before that, when Alena Habbas said
that she intends to call Donald Trump to take the
stand outside of the presence of the jury, Judge Lewis
Caplan said, well, what are your questions going to be?
And Alena Habba goes that he stands behind his deposition.
I'll ask about his state of mind. He'll say he
was defending himself. Then Judge Caplin goes and that's it.
Alena Habbas says, yes, and that he never intended to
hurt Miss Carroll. And then ROBERTA. Kaplin, Egen Carroll's lawyer,
said he had an opportunity to participate in a trial.
And then Judge Caplan says, and he lost. He lost,
so I will instruct the jury more than once that
he lost in the previous trial. Then Donald Trump tried
to speak and say I wasn't even at that trial.
I never met this woman judge, and Judge Caplan said,
mister Trump, keep your voice down. Mister Trump, keep your
voice down. Do you understand? Then Judge Caplan looks at
Alena Hobblin and says, will your client abide by the
rules of my court, And Alena Habba goes absent having
a glass ball, and then Trump starts speaking more, and
then Judge Caplan goes, mister Trump, that is not allowed.
I will permit him to get on the stand. You
ask if he stands by it. That's it. And Alena
Hobba goes only one question, and Judge Caplin says, you
can ask the second question. And Habba goes, why did
you make the statements? Judge Caplan goes no, and Alna
Habba goes, I have a right to ask about intent,
and Judge Caplan goes, I will decide what he has
a right to do here. That's my job, miss Habba,
not your job. And then Alina Hobba goes, I can
ask it that way. Judge Kaplan goes, it will not
be an open ended question. If you ask it, there
is likely to be an objection, and I am likely
to sustain it.
Speaker 2: Haba.
Speaker 1: That's it, Judge Caplan, Okay, Haba, what about the second question?
Judge Kaplan, it keeps on changing, Haba as long as
we have the deposition, and I think I'll be fine.
Judge Caplin, well, I hope you will. Then the jury enters.
The judge tells the jurors I hope lunch was better
than the cafeteria usually is. To some laughs, Miss Habba,
you may call your witness, and that's where she says,
President Donald Trump, and he goes Donald John Trump, and
then Hobba goes, you view your deposition, and Trump goes,
I stand by it one hundred percent yes, And then
Trump tries to say she said something that I considered
a false accusation, eging Carroll's lawyer objection. Judge Judge Caplin
goes sustained, and Alina Hobba goes, I have no further questions.
Judge Judge Caplin goes cross examination, eging Carroll's lawyer. Roberta
Caplin goes, mister Trump, there was a trial here, correct,
Donald Trump, Yes, Roberta Caplin, Mister Trump, is this the
first trial between you and miss Carroll? You've attended? Donald Trump, yes,
Roberta Caplin, no further questions. Then Alina Hobbit asked Trump,
did you have counsel at the previous trial and follow
their advice because they were trying to throw Joe Tacapina
under the bus and blame Tacapena for why Donald Trump
lost the first trial and didn't testify Donald Trump then
says yes. ROBERTA. Caplin eging Carroll's lawyer says objection irrelevant.
Judicial sustained. No further questions, No further questions, jurors. You
may go until tomorrow morning, where there will be closing
arguments and there may be a verdict Michael Cohen tomorrow.
But that was close scene.
Speaker 2: So if I can't all right, got my sleeves rolled
up now, I'm getting all into the rope of dope.
I want our brigadors to understand something which is happening
right here and right now. In furtherance of what bing
bing boom boom Ben just said, there could be a
verdict as early as Monday on this case. I don't
think it would come immediately as tomorrow, but it could
come as early as Monday any day thereafter the decision
by Judge and Goron in the New York General case
that we know is a base now of three hundred
and seventy million, and that's just the fine. That doesn't
include penalty or interest, which would bring the number to
almost double, right, so we're talking about maybe close to
six hundred plus million. Could you imagine in one week?
Von Schitzen pants gets smashed with whatever, and I think
it'll be at least ten million dollars to Egene Carroll.
That's not including punies. I'm only talking about the fine
of ten million dollars for the defamation for the defamatory statement.
But could you imagine he gets hit with that one
and the loser or the former loser in chief ends
up then getting the verdict by judge and goron into
the five, six, seven hundred million dollar range. That's a
pretty bad fucking week, if you ask me.
Speaker 1: And look, we've been talking about that here, going back
what six months ago, seven months ago, we were talking
about what was going to happen right before February one,
and they both can happen at the same day. In fact,
at least as of this live recording, we don't even
have a result yet on the DC Circuit Court of
Appeals ruling on Trump's appeal on the issue of absolute
presidential immunity, which we all expect them to reject, although
it's taking them a little longer than I would like
them to have ruled on that. I thought that ruling
would happen before February first, but on the earlier side,
and we're getting very close to February first, So Cohen,
three things can happen. You can get an eging Carol verdict,
a New York Attorney General verdict, and any EC Circuit
Court of Appeals ruling denying absolute immunity, all within a
two to three day period, and all of this is
kind of coming to the fore in the next three days.
So folks, this is all happening, whether it's all gonna
happen on Friday, Monday, Tuesday, but like this is right
around the corner.
Speaker 2: All of this is happening while the unhinged one is
now attacking Nicky Haley and McCarthy and others simply because
they're saying things that he doesn't like. Nicky Haley had
a very decent showing in both Iowa and New Hampshire,
and people like Ben and I when we talk to you,
when we go out there and we make our voices known,
and we say things like Donald did not do as
well as he wants you to believe. He just did not.
For example, fifty percent of the Republicans that voted for
him did not I'm sorry, fifty percent of the of
those that vot voted did not vote for him. All right,
that's pretty substantial. When you're not talking about let's say
you're not talking about the the primary, when you're not
talking about becoming the nominee, we're talking about the general election.
He is really doing very, very poorly. For example, Iowa,
fifty six two hundred some odd people voted for him,
forty nine thousand change did not. On top of that,
there's like two point eight million voters, so you talk
about one out of fourteen people voted for him. Those
numbers will not win you a general election. In fact,
it's also being said by even folks on Fox News
that the only person that Joe Biden could beat And
I don't know if I agree with this, but I'm
going to stick with it because it doesn't make a
difference at this point. The only person that Joe Biden
can actually beat in an election would be Donald Trump.
That he would lose to Nikki Haley by a lot,
and that he would even lose to Rond sanctimonious to
snot knows by a smaller margin, but that he beats
Donald Trump, Well, this is driving a bun shits and
pants crazy because he like putin there you go. He
thinks like Vladimir Putin that he should have a ninety
two percent. It's the craziest picture I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Have you seen that one?
Speaker 2: I have? I have, But could you imagine he thinks
he's good. That's great. I mean that he's gonna have
a ninety two percent approval rating and he doesn't. But
that is a great photo.
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 2: We'll put it up.
Speaker 1: Put it up an actual cat. He's actual Garfield the cat.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: But but but yes, Cohen, he is alienating and has
totally alienated mainstream Republicans and absolutely alienated Independence.
Speaker 1: And I think there are a group of mainstream Republicans
who still have this tribal allegiance to their team and
their party. So don't know what to do when you
have maga that is not the Republican Party. It's and
Trump keeps saying it. You're not welcome here, You're not
welcome here. I mean, just take a look at this.
Nikki Halley won Independence sixty one percent to thirty seven percent,
according to a CNN exit poll. This is not only
a big warning sign for Trump's general election prospects like
these numbers, Cohen are It's unprecedented data. And don't get me.
You know, there's all these polls out there that, frankly
right now are all very mixed. But it was the
same thing when I was looking at the so called
red wave and the results in twenty twenty, I'd be like,
why are you focused on some one than two hundred
people who who knows how you found? Why don't you
look at the actual data, Like we have real tangible data.
We had it from Iowa, which was showing this trend
in New Hampshire. We're seeing it overwhelming that there's now
a solidified group of people in the Republican Party, not
just independents who previously voted for Trump in twenty sixteen
and some even in twenty twenty who say never again.
The way he handled twenty twenty humiliates us, the way
he acts as disgusting, his conduct on January sixth, the
way he treats people, how he wants to destroy democracy.
And we're seeing tangible data. And I know the media
loves the horse race and all of that, but I
just want to reflect that what this data is actually
saying and is reflective of, is what Cohen, You, myself,
all the hosts that the Midas Touch Network have been
talking about. And when we started this network, we made
clear that this is a pro democracy network and we
are welcoming in this network to liberals, progressives, independents, mainstream Republicans,
so we can bring our country together and preserve, protect
and defend not just our democracy, but normalcy as well.
Speaker 2: Michael Cochen, you know, been one of the reasons why
this Midas Touched Network political beatdown, Maya Colpa and so
on are all doing as well as they're doing is
simply because mainstream media. I want you to think about
this for a second. Imagine if they turn around and said,
right now, Joe Biden has this election in the bag.
He's gonna win sixty evan to thirty three right at
the general election, blah blah blah, and according to so
and so poll, and then another poll comes out and
says the same thing. Nobody's going to be glued to
the television anymore. And what's the basis they why they
keep putting up a lot of this bullshit information. It's
to keep you glued to the television, worrying about the
future of democracy, worrying that tomorrow there'll be another case
like a Roe v. Wade that gets overturned like an
Obergefeld or others that will take away or impede on
our additional constitutional rights. But no, that's not what you're
going to get here from us. We're going to tell
you because we don't. We don't do it so that
the my pillow guy ends up advertising here. We use
the advertisement so that we can actually bring you the truth,
no innuendo on this station that I promise you they
need to keep you glued to their TV twenty fourth
to seven because that keeps the advertisement dollars coming in.
That's the unfair thing, and by doing so, it's why
mainstream media and others. The second Trump gets off the
toilet and he's on his way to court, they have
their waiting outside with live cameras following this fuck nut
following him to court where he rolls in like a
fucking rock star. He's not a rock star. He is
not a president. He is a former president who happens
to be a defendant in a rank case. And in
March on the March twenty fifth, which what appears to
be the first of all of the cases that'll be
the Manhattan District Attorney the Alvin brad case. He's gonna
roll up again to that courthouse at sixty centis street
like a rock star, when in fact he is a
defendn't in a criminal case the same way he will
roll up on the additional three indictments. So this is
not right. They're not supposed to make him look like
a rock star, make him look like what he is,
Make him look like the defendant, the rapist, the criminal
that he is. So that way people stop, they stop
trying to rationalize why they don't want to vote for Biden,
and that the only alternative is who Trump. My opinion
is what's going to happen in general election. As you
saw from the data that Ben just put up sixty
seven percent of the undeclared, the independents will not vote
for Donald Trump. That's the loss. My hope is that
we ensure that either these people vote, or if they
don't vote, that enough Democrats get out there, and that
we do what Ben and I are begging each and
every one of you to do each and every week
since we started Political Beatdown. Make sure you're registered right
now to vote, and make sure that your friends, your family,
your neighbors, your colleagues, everyone you know is registered to vote,
and that they vote blue, that they vote for Democrats
in twenty twenty four, and let's send a message once
and for all. Like I end in my book Revenge,
trump Ism is fascism and we must eradicate it from
our body politics once and for all. Together we can
accomplish that.
Speaker 1: Or, as we say here on the Midas Touch Network,
MAGA equals fascism plus idiocracy, and fortunately the idiocracy has
far exceeded the ability of MAGA to implement their fascist designs.
But it is a combination of both of those things,
you know. I saw some somebody in the chat talk
about how they went to a Nikki hallyavent or it
was by their home, and they found the people there
to be kind of fairly normal people who attended it.
And I just want to remind the pro democracy community, though,
the way you win elections and the way you build
coalitions is through building and reaching out to people and
sharing ideas and being inclusive and allowing people who may
have different ideas than you, but who want to fundamentally
support our democracy to let them join with all of
us in a common endeavor to defeat MAGA fascism and idiocracy,
and it's something that I preach here a lot on
the Midas Touch network because one, it's really important for
our country to extend a hand even to people who
maybe even vehemently disagree with on certain issues and policies. Fundamentally,
we need to preserve and protect and defend our democracy.
Democracy is on the line right now and there'll be
a time where we could have a lot of these
policy disputes with people, but we need to make sure
that MAGA extremism is no more and contrast that, by
the way, to what Trump's doing, because when we come
back from our break, I want to show how Trump
has become even more unhinged after New Hampshire, how he's
threatening people. If you contribute to Nicki Halley, you're not
welcome in MAGA. His constant attacks on Nicky Halley and
anybody who is not one hundred percent obedient to his cult,
and that's not how you do politics by reducing your base.
But this is an opportunity for all of us in
the pro democracy community to grow our community. I want
to remind everybody.
Speaker 2: He's back at it again with the nicknames all right
now of course it's it's bird brain. And when I
hear people say that, like at a table we were
out last night, it's a kind of a funny story.
Was out last night for dinner and who by chance
happened to be in the same restaurant Hope Picks, Trump's
former communications you know, director, who I happen to have
brought into the campaign and I have helped out literally
going back over you know, ten years since she first
started working at that. But you know I heard people
at the table next door referring to Nicki Haley as
bird brain. There are many things I don't agree with,
many things that Nicki Haley turns around and says. But
one thing I will turn around and say, she is
not She is not looking to do to America what
Donald Trump is doing. And as far as being a
bird brain, you know, at least she has a brain.
The other guy is literally unhinged. And prior to us
just going to the commercials, if all of you could do,
because we are rocking right now with all of you,
please maya kopa. We switched over, as you may recall,

want to let you know that tomorrow the drop is
going to be with Michael L. Rosa, who is the
former chief of staff to Doctor Jill Biden and incredibly
close with the Biden family. We talk about a lot
of things that are personal and this election. He's no
longer there on Capitol Hill, but it is a fascinating,
fascinating conversation. So please thank you and thanks for joining

every day. I sent one out myself today Midastouch dot
com slash newsletter. And also when we come back, you know, Cohen,
the data is also reflecting that Biden was overperforming in
New Hampshire as well. So I look at this data
and then I look at the narratives and I'm just like,
can we match and marry the narrative to the actual data.
I mean, I know that the media also wants to
paint this picture of college students and young people are
in supporting Biden. He overperformed amongst the young people in
New Hampshire as a write in his name wasn't even
on the frickin' ballot, and he overperformed in college areas.
That's just what the data shows. This is from Adam Carlson.
Now that we have close to final numbers in New Hampshire,
Biden as a write and outperformed his statewide vote share
in the bigger college towns seventy one percent handover we're
Dartmouth seventy nine percent, statewide sixty four percent. If Biden's
in trouble with the youths, there's no evidence of that
in New Hampshire, and folks, that's just the data. More data.

Speaker 1: Cohen with the killer adread. When you do the ad reads,
it brings a smile to my face. I really enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you're enjoying it. And I want to
thank everybody who's smashing those blue hearts. Thank you also,
and let me tell you, let me thank each and
every one of you as well for making the Midas
Touch network as it is right now two million, all
right now, we need to go to five million, and
that's why we ask you to please not just subscribe,
but share, bring your friends in, have them join the brigade.
We have ten months to make the difference that's going
to affect our children and future generations to come, and
we we this brigade are on the front line. So
thank you all for being a part of this brigade.
It means so much to both being being Ben and myself.
Speaker 1: And the reason you call me being being Ben is
when I think Donald Trump was trying to describe what
the missile systems and one of his speeches, Donald Trump
was like, yeah, when I was in office, you know what,
you know what I told the military generals. I told them,
I told them being a being, being a buying swosh
a bank.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I watched this clown up there, and I'm like, y'all
realize this, man.
Speaker 2: If you have that video, we need to show well
you got a bang.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm like, this is so embarrassing. This is so embarrassing.
I'm embarrassed for our country. Other people are watching this,
They're like for like for real, and I'm like, look,
that's not the full country. Okay, that's like he's got
like thirty percent of people who are like that, and
we know who they are. But look, folks, that's why
I say we got to keep expanding this pro democracy community.
So in New Hampshire, after Donald Trump underperformed you know
normally in these speeches, I mean, he's still won in
New Hampshire. He underperformed, but he won. Normally, what you'll
try to do right is reach out to people and say, Okay,
now's the time for unity. We come together. That's what
you're supposed to do in these speeches. But here Donald
Trump extorts Nikky Halley and Base says that she'd be
under investigation if people knew the things that she did
in about fifteen minutes. And so this is how what
Donald Trump bet to say about her. Here play this.
Speaker 4: Club and just a little note to Nikki. She's not
going to win, but if she did, she would be
under investigation by those people in fifteen minutes. And I
could tell you five reasons why already, not big reasons,
a little stuff that she doesn't want to talk about,
but she will be under investigation within minutes. And so
would Ron have been. But he decided to get out.
He decided to get out.
Speaker 1: No, I mean you have that here, Donald Trump says, did.
Speaker 2: You see the two idiots standing behind them, I mean
between Tim Scott and Vivik Ramaswami with that stupid smile
on his face. Does he not understand like this this
moron that got tossed out, Dylan whatever his last name was, Fadrucci, right,
I mean this idiot quat Trucci. Donald doesn't give a
shit about anyone or anything other than himself. Jim Jordan
is now under potential investigation as well. When I stood
before the House Oversight Committee in twenty eighteen, I said
to him, look at what's happened to me. What happened
to me will happen to you if you continue on
this path now years later, Lo and behold what's happening
six years later. Looks like he's gonna be under investigation.
But as I'm saying to Ramaswami the moron or Tim
Scott the smiling buffoon, I'm telling you both right now,
Donald will throw both of your asses under the bus
like he did to this kid, Quadtrucci. He will throw
it under the bus and not think twice about as
it's going over you, and the next one comes and
runs you over, and the next one as well. He
doesn't give a shit about you. He doesn't give a
shit about the country. He doesn't give a shit about
anyone or anything other than himself.
Speaker 1: Think about you're the Quatrucci kid, and you're like super
in this Maga cult. You're like a MAGA fan, and
you wear the red hat and you show up at
a Maga event and your work. You're doing everything that
Maga tells you to do. And you see Alena Habba there,
who's more of a Maga influencer than even a lawyer
at this point. So you go up, she takes a
photo with you, you post it, and then security guards throw
your ass out on the street, and you're like, what
did I even do? Right here? I just took a
photo with Alena Haba. But because Alena Habba didn't tell
the truth or she wasn't candid with the federal judge
in a defamation case involving Donald Trump's rape victim, and
was then partying with Donald Trump in New Hampshire after
saying she had exposure to COVID. Think about that, mad libs.
Right there, you're now being thrown out on the street
by your own cult because you posted a photo with
Alina Haba, who doesn't even know really how to ask
a question during a federal trial. Yes, you played yourself.
And here Donald Trump in his New Hampshire speech, he
starts like cursing, and he talks about Nikki Hally's dress.
He was obsessed with her dress during his speech in
New Hampshire. Here he says, you can't let people get
away with bullshit. He says, here play this clip.
Speaker 4: I felt I should do this because I find in
life you can't let people get away with bullshit.
Speaker 1: Okay you can't.
Speaker 4: You just can't do that. Now, when I watched her
of the fancy dress that probably wasn't so fancy, come up,
I said, what's she doing? We won, and she did
the same thing last week. But he was much more
angry about it than I was. I said, get up
there and you let him know.
Speaker 1: And he has a particular hatred for women. You know,
he's focused on the dress and the dress being not fancy.
He can't help himself.
Speaker 2: Clapping to Ben Luke, who's sitting there clapping and egging
him on the dumbest of the three eldest children.
Speaker 1: Eric.
Speaker 2: He's sitting there clapping his hand, you know, as if
as if to yeah, dad, you know, you go, that's right,
you know, you attack this You attack this woman because
she refuses to get out of the race, because she
believes in democracy. Yeah you go, dad. I mean that's
when you talk about Beavis and butt Head. It's exactly
why people make fun of Eric and Dawn because it
is the stupidest. Even dumbast Ramaswami wasn't clapping about that.
I mean, oh, it's wearing that expensive which probably wasn't
so his fancy dress which probably wasn't as expensive. I mean,
now Donald knows about values of dresses. Why because he's
a cross dresser and he's got an entire closet full
of shit? What kind of nonsense? Why is what I mean?
Don't you think that you really are to worry about
your own campaign? Why don't you worry about trying to
find some middle ground so independent? You know, don't think
that you're the fucking ask clown that you really are.
I mean, no, no, And also, oh my god, Donald
Trump said bullshit. And you hear these bunch of maggot morons,
these fucking idiots with three teeth and four brain cells.
Yay yay, Donald said bullshit? Yay? Why why a guy
who wants to be the leader of the free world.
This is the way he expresses himself. Even I, if
I was running for the presidency, would tone down my rhetoric.
I wouldn't be saying the shit that I'm saying, now,
if I was standing on a national page, well maybe
I would, but you know, but then again I'm different.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I described that I think in our
last show as like people at SeaWorld like clapping for
Shamou and when they do a trick, like Donald Trump
goes up there with the MAGA base and he's like,
and I passed a cognitive test. I took it twice
and I passed it, and they're like yeah, And I'm
thinking to myself, I'm like, you're clapping for him. He
took a test that people take when they have brain injuries.
And he's bragging that he takes this quite frequently, and
you're clapping for it. One of the things going that
I like as well, or I like it just happening
and I like commenting on it, I suppose, and it
shows how extreme this MAGA thing has become and how
the republic Party's over. So Marjorie Taylor Green just like
Marjorie Taylor Green and Laura Loomer, who are both extremists
who like compete for his love and affection basically, and
they both hate each other. So you've got Laura Lumer
talking about how like the Democrats are controlling the weather patterns,
and the Republican establishment and Rhinos are trying to make
the weather bad or to help Donald, to hurt Donald
Trump or whatever. And then you have Marjorie Taylor Green.
This is what she was saying. She goes again, the
numbers are fake. The numbers were fake for Nicki Haley.
No way, this is real. Here play this clip.
Speaker 5: These are fake numbers. Nicki Haley does not have this
much support. She's going to come out and claim that
she's rising in the polls. All these fake news media
people up here on this platform are going to claim
that Nicki Haley is rising.
Speaker 1: In the polls.
Speaker 5: It's a total, complete lie, absolute lie. Tonight Nicki Haley
was defeated. The problem is she's going to be dumb enough,
and she's going to be a fake candidate and she's
going to keep going and we are going to destroy
her in South Carolina. It's going to be a complete humiliation.
I can't wait to see it happens on her.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if she's sober or I'm not sure
what she's doing there.
Speaker 2: You know something, Ben, when I saw that, and I
don't want you to laugh too hard about this because
it is funny, but it's true. Just when I think
that my life is difficult and it's hard, I get
very very I get very very upset, and so on.
I start to think that somebody is Marjorie Taylor Green's gynecologist.
And then I say to myself, my life isn't so
fucking bad, all right? Or could you imagine her proctologist?
And then all of a sudden, it's like, you know
what ends up happening? Right, So all the time I'm
gonna be stating and this is what I'm gonna be hearing. Right, Hey,
God go Michael, that's right. You keep talking about Marjorie
Taylor Green and her gynecologist in her and her proctologists. Yeah,
thank you very much, thank you, thank you, thank you
very much.
Speaker 1: Were you doing sound effects there?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Yes, do you have like a sound effects ready? You have?
As we hit two million, As we hit two million subscribers,
we got you with a little sound effects things.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine just when you think that your life
is bad and that things are really rough, remember somebody
is her gynecologist or proctologist, and that's well.
Speaker 1: That's her boyfriend who's interviewing her I mean, just think
about how incestuous and maggiet. So her boyfriend runs the
channel that interviews her and follows Trump around, and her
boyfriend used to when he was a host of another
news network, would frequently dress up and drag, and so
there's all these photos of him dressed in drag at
all of these events. And then when I think it
was one of our Midas Touch reporters unearthed those photos,
he was like, yeah, I was just having a good time.
I'm having fun. And then he has all of the
posts recently as well, attacking its people who address and direct.
Everything is projection and confession with them, and it's and
it's weird and it's unhinged. I'll show you one more
Marjorie Tailer Green clip. But then I want to talk
about the UAW endorsement of President Biden. Sean Pain gave
an incredible speech, but here you got Marjorie Taylor Green
saying that political consultants who work for Nicky Halley should
go to jail play the clips.
Speaker 5: Primary is over with. Can you imagine being a donor
and lighting your money on fire like that, donating to
Nicki Haley begging her to stay in the race. I
mean these political consultants, they should go to jail for
continuing this campaign. I mean, it is so dishonest.
Speaker 1: I can't even believe it. For what know, the moment
they take a drink, everybody even before that, it's everybody
should go to jail. You go to jail. And by
the way, Donald Trump posted today that if you contribute
to Nicky Halley, you are hereby banished, permanently barred from
the MAGA camp.
Speaker 2: Or as they would say in what's the name of
John Wick, ex communicado.
Speaker 1: Let me show you two clips right now. The u
a W President Sean Fain in Washington, d C. Yesterday
endorsing President Biden. Here he talks about how Donald Trump
is a scab. Play the clip.
Speaker 6: Donald Trump is a scab. Donald Trump is a billionaire,
and that's who he represents. If Donald Trump ever worked
in an auto plant, he wouldn't be a ua W member.
He'd be a company man trying to squeeze. He's the
American worker. Donald Trump stands against everything we stand for
as a union, as a society. When you go back
to our core issues wages, retirement, healthcare, and our time,
that's what this election's about this elections, about who will
stand up with us and who will stand in our way.
Those are the questions that will win or lose this
election and will decide our fate. Those are the questions
that will determine the future of our country and the
fate of the working class.
Speaker 2: Power this guy, Sean Fain, I mean, he's got more
power than what people realize. You're talking about how many
United Auto Workers are there, hundreds of thousands, But it's
not just hundreds of thousands. It's also the relationships that
he has with other union leaders. If you are against
one union, you are against all unions. And Donald without
the Donald von schitzen pants, without having unions, he is sunk.
He's always tried to be the blue collar billionaire, but finally, finally, somebody,
like a guy like Sean Faith has demonstrated with pretty
specific language that Donald Trump is not one of them.
But you know who is the guy who stood on
the picket line with them when this thing didn't look
like it was going to be over for a long time.
It was Joe Biden who did it, all right, That's who.
And when you call somebody a skim, that's pretty tough.
Pretty tough words.
Speaker 1: And speaking of Joe Biden, you had Sean Faine acknowledge
that President Biden stood with the auto workers. Here a
play the clip.
Speaker 6: When I first came into office, we made some headlines
by saying that our endorsements would be earned, not freely given.
We've said we'd stand with whoever stood with us in
our fight, not because somebody was nice to us and
we want to be nice to them, but because we
need to know who's gonna put up and who's gonna
shut up. And going even further, we need to know
who's gonna stand up with us. And this choice is clear.
Joe Biden bent on the American worker, while Donald Trump
blamed the American worker. We need to know who's gonna
sit in the most powerful seat in the world and
help us win as a united working class. So if
our endorsements must be earned, Joe Biden has earned it.
Speaker 1: Powerful, powerful speech. And here's what Biden had to say
after earning the endorsement of the UAW Play the clip.
Speaker 7: I've always thought for a strong auto industry with UAW
built cars leading the world.
Speaker 2: This is what that's about.
Speaker 7: A simple proposition. You built these iconic companies you built TM,
you built, You built these companies. You sacrifice to save
them in the worst of times, and you deserve to
benefit when these companies thrive. As Sean said, record profits
mean record contracts.
Speaker 1: Powerful, powerful stuff. Michael Cohen, Cohen, We're gonna need a
two finger salute on this show.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I was just gonna say, two fingers salute.
Who do you think I'm giving it to today? Ben?
I give it who deserves it?
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, Marjorie, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Marjorie toilet Green. Okay, all right, Margarie, there is
nobody stupid, in my opinion, almost nobody stupider in the
People's House than Marjorie toilet Green. The ship that comes
out of her mouth must make her ass jealous, plain
and simple. And for that toilet you get the two
fucking fingers salute for the week. You seriously are the
dumbest asshole that you are. An embarrassment to this country.
You are the dumbest person that I have ever ever
had the displeasure to watch, whether it's your stupid questions
when you're when you're I don't even know how you
end up being on a committee. I mean, it is
pathetic that our tax dollars are going to fund your
perverted life, your sick you're sick, fucking dementa. So I again,
I get so angry when I see that face of
yours and the stupidity that comes out of that gaping
hole under your nostrils. So for that, you fucking toilet.
Fuck you.
