Speaker 1: Welcome to Political Beatdown. I'm Ben Marcellis, joined by Michael Cohen. Michael,
We've got a lot to discuss on today's Joe. Donald
Trump is in Wisconsin right now. Once again, our editorial
team at the Midas Touched Network has caught Donald Trump
leaving his plane and waving to absolutely no one. That's
one of his go to moves for the propaganda videos,
and we caught him doing it, and they try to
frame it in a way that he's waving to a crowd,
but there's quite literally nobody there but his driver. So
moments ago, when Donald Trump landed in Wisconsin once again waving.
Speaker 2: To nobody here, play this clip.
Speaker 1: Will bring you any breaking news from Wisconsin, if there
is any. I want to talk about that, but Coen,
I also want to talk about what I think Our
editorial team also did a very good job calling out
Donald Trump for that stunt he was trying to pull
in Detroit where he rented out a purported black church.
He filled the church with all of his white Magas
supporters who were there, and then they tried to play
it off like he was speaking to the black community.
We then were able to capture the images of who
was there, and it was a bunch of white Magas
supporters disrespecting the church as well, I mean wearing hats
to the church. And I mean just look at on
their cell phones chanting Trump's name. And if you just
take a look, I mean take a look at this
crowd right here, you'll see the people. I'm not making
this up that Kelly and Conway and Trump's campaign claimed
that there were eight thousand people who were there, that
eight thousand people from the black community in Detroit showed up.
Speaker 2: And Cohen, I mean, this.
Speaker 1: Is desperate, this is pathetic. Corporate media runs with this
and they give him the headlines. But there's a real
transformation happening though right now where I see people taking
back their power from the kind of corporate king makers.
If you will, what do you think about all of this?
Speaker 2: Look, what's there really to think about. The fact of
the matter is Donald Trump is not regardless of what
media is trying to tell everybody that he is beginning
to make headway in the black community and so on.
And when they start taking a look at the number
and they realize that the only you can't win elections
off of fake news, you can't win elections off of
you know the fact that Fox News and even CNN
now are coming up with this horseshit that you know,
Donald Trump is making ground roads in the black community
and there were eight thousand people in the you know,
in this black church and so on that's not going
to on November translate into any votes. And so you
know what they need to do is they need to
pull stunts like this where they go ahead and they
rent a church, right, a evangelical black evangelical church, and
then negative claim that it's all filled with you know,
with churchgoers clearly clearly this view, this view if any
that are really there. I mean, look, Donald will tell
you don't trust your lying eyes trust what I'm telling you. Well,
I think we already have the answer to that. And
you know this, Ben, I got to tell you something
you and the guys from my touch in catching and
calling out von schitzen Pants for his fake you know,
for his fake waves and for his you know, fake crowd,
I do want to tell you that what I have
done here today is I have brought in a bunch
of our Maya Kulpa political beatdown might have touched network
support fans here and in my dining room. I have
about two and a half thousand people that want to
watch us do this thing live. And I'm going to
turn around and say, guys, how do you think that
Bet and I are doing.
Speaker 1: It's a very crowded space. There looks to be at
least three I'm gonna go three hundred thousand people who
are in that room there. But the people who were
there also were the same people when Trump tries to
pull this stunt in other areas, like remember when Trump
showed up to the Chick fil A in Atlanta, and
that's Mikhaela Montgomery there. She's a AGA operative who basically
follows him around city to city. And then when Donald
Trump says he wants to do black outreach, you have
Miguela Montgomery kind of comes out and she hugs him
and then and then the wild thing is is that
the media runs with this thing. And you know, even
when the Chick fil A stunt happens, we immediately you know,
provided data that she works for the Republican Party, she
works for Charlie Kirk and she's an operative. By the way,
after Trump was at the black church event with no
real black people there, he then crossed the street where
Charlie Kirk was having a Turning Points event where there
was a banner I kid you not, Michael Cohen that
said white Boy Summer. And that was the theme, or
at least a major theme of the next speech that
Donald Trump gave was at an event that was themed
white Boy Summer. And this wasn't like a parody. This
wasn't a joke. If it was, it wouldn't have been
fun anyway. But this was very serious. That's a white
nationalist meme, the white Boy Summer. And I just want
you to think about it that the leader of the
Republican Party, a convicted felon thirty four times over staged
a fake event at a fake black church or a
black church with not the actual congregants there, then crossed
the street and then gave a speech at a place
where they were promoting white Boy Summer. And the media
is like, well, well, on the one hand, you've got Republicans,
on the other hand, you've got like Democrats, And I
don't know, it's all very confusing. It's a very divided
country we have. Why is it so divided? I mean,
it's just some ridiculous up of Cohen. One of the
interesting things, though, that you have first hand knowledge of
is that you actually, when you were working for Trump.
Sorry to bring back these memories right now, but you
actually attempted to do authentic outreach in the black.
Speaker 2: I attempt to do it. I've succeeded in doing it.
I actually succeeded in creating what was called the National
Diversity Coalition, which was a coalition that I founded along
with Pastor Daryl Scott of Cleveland, Ohio. That's the church
that I actually spoke at in Cleveland. It's called the
New Spirit Revival Church. Why Daryl fell off the bandwagon thereafter,
I get it, it's all about trying to make money.
But when you see something like White Boys Summer and
that's an event that von shitzen Pants is going to attend,
I have a real problem with this. I have a
problem with it because America is not a white Christian
nationalist country. I mean, why can't we just get that
through our heads. And the fact the fact that there's
even a black pastor whose church it probably is, that's
sitting there and you know, allowing this bullshit, this this
usage of his church, this denigration of Christianity, in order
to promote Trump's lives. Fuck him serious, and he's not
worth the two fingers salute. That's probably gonna go to
Charlie Kirk today. In fact, you know what, it's gonna
go to Charlie Kirk today because this white Christian nationalist
group that just constantly keeps promoting Donald Trump and this horseship,
and that they allow this thing to happen in a
church for what So you could not get paid by
the Trump campaign? Come on, man, smart enough, and Charlie Kirk,
the fuck is wrong with you? Charlie, to you, my friend,
to you, the two salute? All right, there you go,
that's going to Charlie Kirk. Enough for ready, we know
all absolutely had enough.
Speaker 1: You know that church, it's called the one all the big,
big crowds there in Cohen's apartment right there. I think
you can fit probably at least twenty thousand people in
that small room of yours. At least fifty thousand people
are applauding you. The church was actually called the one
hundred and eighty Church. It's unclear if the pastor is
actually the pastor of that church because it's embroiled in
massive litigation. There have been accusations that the pastor is
pastor squatting because a lot of the parishioners have left
under protest previously. And there's a lot of doctrine and
I won't really get into it here. It could be
a legal af about immunity that's afforded to churches from
courts getting involved in church business. And so they were
actually back and forth restraining orders going on with this pastor.
So it's a very controversial church embroiled in massive litigation.
So of course that would be the site right of
where this would where this would take place. Cohen also
want to talk about as well as some of these
posts that Donald Trump is making. He's posted this one
with this is he posts this almost every other day
now of Jesus on his shoulders. This is Trump reposting
this angel account. So Trump is posting images like this,
and I mean, just again, like you don't even have this,
doesn't it does have to be a religious thing to say,
how blasphemous you know this is.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm certain that if somehow, right, some way,
Jesus had come down from the heavens within which to
revisit Earth, to revisit right his you know his followers.
I'm pretty sure that one of the last people on
his stop, if not the last, would be von schitzen Pants.
Let me be very clear about that. This guy doesn't
have a religious bone in his body. He doesn't. He
doesn't go to church, he doesn't pray. The closest that
he's come is his sixty nine dollars trumpy Bible, plain
and simple, terrible. The whole thing is, really, the whole
thing is just so wrong. I mean, it really is.
It's so wrong on so many levels.
Speaker 1: So he posts that, then he posed this the preamble
of the Constitution hugging him, and he's like humping the Constitution.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Take take a look at this photo again. This is
something that Donald Trump is posting, and he's posting dozens
of memes like this. I'm not going to try to
gross out our audience any more than showing I'm just
trying to show you that this is his behavior. This
is what he is reposting this photo, you know, And
I thought that it's worth reflecting that he does this.
He does this photo right there of the Constitution's preambi.
Speaker 2: How can you do if there was can you go salty?
Can you go back to that other one with with
Jesus touching Donald's shoulders and so on for a quick second. Yeah,
that one. See, I have a little bit of a
different one which I want to show you, so if
you'll come back to me. I think this is really
more like it. I mean, I mean, that's probably more.
That's the one that I have. I don't know which
one that way you got yours, but that's the one
that I'm read every time they put up, the one
that every time the time that they put up the
one that you just showed. I put this up and
follow I think you got your picture all wrong. I
love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. Here's here's the preamble of the Constitution, though,
just so we all can see what it actually says.
I think it's if Donald Trump wants to post those
no offense to clowns, clownish fascist photographs of himself hugging
the Constitution AI weird stuff like that. Let's talk about
what the preamble says. It says we the people. First off,
let's be clear, we the people of the United States,
not I Donald Trump, not me me, me, me me,
We the people of the United States, in order to
form a more perfect union, meaning to be together, not
to divide us, like Donald Trump. Wants to establish justice,
not a convicted felon like Donald Trump ensured domestic tranquility,
not lead insurrections to overthrow free and fair elections like
Donald Trump. To provide for the common defense, not what
Donald Trump wants to do by attacking our allies and
attacking Americans. Promote the general welfare. Not what Donald Trump
did when COVID was coming our way and said, like
a miracle, it was all going to go away and
secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
Donald Trump could care less about posterity. All he cares
about is me, me, me, do ordain and establish this
Constitution of the United States, and I'll prove it to you.
I take a look at this next post that Donald
Trump made right here. He reposts this Father's Day message
from this account boom Oo that says Happy Father's Day
to you, sir.
Speaker 2: We will do it.
Speaker 3: Again and more. Hashtag maga for the felon. Hashtag maga
for the felon. Donald Trump is reposting.
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen, the Peter of the Republican Party, is posting
hashtag MAGA for the felon, and corporate media. I'm not
talking about right wing media, that's propaganda, ridiculous stuff. But
corporate media wants to tell us that someone who just
to recap rented out a black church and brought white
MAGA supporters into it and pretended it was the black church,
then gave a speech at some place with a banner
up that says white boy Summer, who then posted himself
getting hugged by the Constitution Jesus on his shoulders and
hashtag MAGA for the felon.
Speaker 2: Look, how many times am I going to have to
say the same thing before it finally sinks into people's heads.
I've told you all along. I said it in twenty
nineteen when I testified before the House Oversight Committee. That
was the one that I did live, and I told
you that Donald Trump is a racist, right He's he's
a biggod. He's a misogynist, he's sexist, he's xenophobic, he's homophobic,
he's islamophobic, he's anti Semitic. I don't know. I don't
know what else one person has to do in order
to ensure that people continue to repeat it over and
over and over because that's what he does. He uses
the media. He's very clever at media usage. Why because
the media is so hungry for his antics. I can't understand.
It's like it's like watching Saturday Night Live, right, or
reality Television twenty four to seven. It's like I was
out the other night and I was talking to a
friend of mine who actually happens to be a Republican
cannot stand Trump, but is a Republican, and he turned
around he said to me, you know, I can't imagine
what a day would look like if Donald wasn't preoccupying
the news. So just imagine like today that he wasn't
preoccupying the news with all the lies that he tells
and the fucking media, right serious, whether it's like the
New York Post, that garbage, ragtag horseshit. I you know,
I was speaking with Michael Steele this morning. He was
on MSNBC Morning Joe. I love Morning Joe's show, but
what bothered me is that Joe and Mika we're talking
about the New York Post, which is also you know,
which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, as is I believe
it's what the Wall Street Journal, And there was an
article in it talking about Trump, and it is so
apparent that what the uh, the story is is an
absolute and a complete lie. It's just a complete lie.
And my thought was, well, if it's a complete lie,
and everybody knows that it's a lie, why are you
talking about it? Why are you promoting it? Which then
gives people that, hey, you know what, let me go
check out and see what it is that they're talking about.
Let me go see what it is that they're that
these two papers are saying. No, if it would, I
have never seen Morning Joe talking about like the front
cover of the National Inquirer or you know, or Newsmax.
What Why are they then doing it with the Post?
Why are they legitimizing? Why are they legitimizing the New
York Post or the other article? Did anybody else see
what I'm talking about this morning on this And I'm
not kidding, I'm telling you this was on this morning
with Michael Steele responding to it, and I was and
I texted him and I said to him, why what
are you doing? Why are you guys even acknowledging the
existence of this garbage paper, these two garbage papers that
are run by Rupert Murdoch, who's sole goal? Whose sole goal? Well,
it's not even him anymore now, it's one of his kids, right,
I think, is it? Lachlan is running the show now.
All they want to do is continue to sell more
ad space. It's all about profit. There's no journalistic integrity
in any of that. There was a lie that was
promoted and they were regurgitating it.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll take a slightly different perspective on it. If
you're going to cover it, I think you have to
explain the counterpoint, though, which is why are they doing it?
And they're doing it because they know that it's a
big problem for Donald Trump, that Trump has real, actual
cognitive issues. So if they attack President Biden, the kind
of paradigm they create is a head's eye win tells
you lose er in the case of Biden, tells you cheat. Right,
So they attack Biden all the time. They go, Biden's
got dementia, Biden's delusional, Biden all of these things, right,
except when the American people then see President Biden. Then,
Michael Cohen, what do they say when people can actually
see a speech, whether it's the State of the Union,
whether it's the debate whatever. Then they go, oh, it
was rigged. Biden got the questions in advance or more recently,
what they've been saying is Biden's on steroids, Biden's on drugs,
Biden's on provigil.
Speaker 2: They said that Biden was on cocaine, which is able,
that he was on cocaine that gave him the lift.
First of all, can you think of anything more disrespectful
than to turnaround and to say it not only because
of his son and the addiction that his son had,
but the fact that he is eighty years old, he's
the president of the United States, he does not have
a drug problem. And the fact that he gets up
there and that he was traveling to the G seven,
then he was going from one place to the other,
trying to resolve issues that are plaguing not just this
country but the whole world. And while he's doing this,
while all of this is going on, he's still created
the best the best economy in the world, with the
highest stock market that this country has ever had, with
the lowest unemployment that this country has ever seen. That
he's still working on the Chips Act and infrastructure and
so on, and he's you know, was successful in getting
more money now to Ukraine in order to fight this
important war against Russia. And he's working with net Yahoo
in Israel in order to create a cease fire and
to create some peace and stability in the Middle East.
And the best at the Trump that the Trump assholes
can do is to turn around and to say that
the guy is on drugs. Seriously, and even US, even
US Bench repeating it. It's so offensive to me, just
as the New York Post is offensive to me, just
as the fact that the Wall Street Journal put out
the same article just by a different writer. This is wrong.
You would not give the National Inquirer the attention that
we're giving to these articles. And it's I find it
just I find it disgraceful. There's no more journalistic integrity,
at least with those papers. Anyway.
Speaker 1: Well, you think about the masterful job that President Biden's
done with actually expanding NATO membership, bringing together the G seven,
ensuring that Ukraine has the weapons that they need. You're
seeing some major momentum right now with Ukraine in their
fight against the unlawful invasion by Russia, now that they
actually have the weapons that they had been asking for.
President Biden had one of the most successful G seven
meetings in Italy that's ever taken place. But what the
Murdoch Properties did is there was a skydiver who had
like landed as part of the kind of pomp and
circumstance of the ceremony. President Biden, in his cordial way
was looking at the skydiver and was telling the skydiver
really good work. The skydiver was off frame and President
Biden I met him before. He's a very sociable guy.
He chats you up, he talks, and eventually he talks
so so long sometimes to people because he's a very
engaging person that even like his secret service have to go,
all right, President, let's go, we gotta we gotta go.
Stop talking to people. You know, the roads are shut down.
It's his nature to have like long conversations with people
until it's kind of his detail team where people around
him state, let's go. So what the New York Post
then the Murdoch Properties did is they cut the frame
to act like President Biden was delusional and having like
an imaginary conversation. And that's what they ran with a
big cover on the New York Post that says President
Biden embarrasses the United States at the G seven and
again it's it's just utterly false and they claim to be,
you know, the news, but what this really is Cohen.
And it's interesting as I think about the trial that
you testified in, where the National Inquirer was like the
was like the G League, you know, compared to where
like the D team, right, compared to what Trump has
now he went from the National Inquirer doing these false
stories to one hundreds of billions of dollars with the Murdochs,
with Sinclair, with all of this right wing media who
I guess want to be part of a future oligarchyan
and authoritarian regime, just pushed this stuff relentlessly every single day,
and it's just inconsistent with the data about and what's
taking place.
Speaker 2: Because you know what, as an example, it's not even
when it comes to the New York Post that it's
every day, it's every hour they're putting something out. Approximately
one hour ago, the New York Post put it on
their digital. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
The New York Post put up on its digital at
three point forty this afternoon Eastern Standard time, an article
by this fucking Putts Ryan King, And it's under the
politics section. But here's the headline of this article. Trump
come up, Biden dead even nationally with first presidential debate
just nine days away. According to a poll, can you imagine?
And this is an NPR PBS News Marigs poll survey
out on Tuesday, with the presumptive Republican nominee receiving a
one point uptick in support from the previous poll in
late May, the incumbent Democrat backing dropped by a single point.
So it has Biden at forty nine, Trump at forty
nine and then two percent undecided. Can you imagine? Can
you imagine this? I gotta ask our brigaders here, what
else does Trump have to do? What else does Trump
have to say? What other airsenine act does this guy
and his sycophantic followers have to do before people turn
around and say that's it now, I've had it. That drew,
that drew the straw. First of all, I don't believe
this poll. I don't believe any of these pole there
you go, any of these polls. I don't believe any
of them at all. And the reason why, all right,
this nonsense about Trump gaining momentum with the with black males.
Black women. Let me be clear about this. Okay, black
women will never ever vote for Trump. That's why he
has to pay them, you know, to show up like
that woman that's on the payroll from the what's her
name again? Here?
Speaker 1: Montgomery?
Speaker 2: There you go, Mikhaela Montgomery. All right, she's a political
consultant and she's a hack. All right. That's why Trump
has to pay her. Because black women see through Trump's shit.
Now do I think that black men do. Actually, you're right,
you know what, Janet, You're right there. Most women see
through trump shit, all right. For whatever the reason is.
Guys think it's funny. I mean, it's almost like you're
being fucking entertained twenty four to seven. You know, when
was the other time, like you know, you really were
entertained by whether it was Dan rather or morally safer right,
or any of those guys. The answer is you're not.
You're not. You watch the news in the past, you
watch the news for the news. Now they're not watching
it for news. They're watching it seriously for entertainment purpose.
It's like watching the Housewives. It's like watching you know,
below Deck or one of these other reality shows. That's
what it is. Are guys going to fall for it
at the ballot box? No? No, but they do give
it oxygen. That's the big problem. Now. Of course, I
want to be clear about something I am not talking about,
not for a second about the maga morons, that thirty
percent of the electorate that's out there, or the sixty
percent of the Republican Party. But I want to do
my famous numbers again because it's extremely important Donald Trump.
It's already been shown thirty percent or more of the
Republican Party will not vote for him now that he
is a convicted felon, not just a convicted felon one count,
but thirty four counts. They will not vote for him.
They will vote for anybody else, whether it's an RFK
or a writing like a Nikki Haley or what have you.
That's thirty percent of the Republican Party. No Democrat's going
to vote for him, right, that you could bet your
bottom dollar on. So it leaves the other one third
of the Independent. But in order for him to make
up that thirty percent loss, that means that he has
to take sixty percent of the Independent, which is never
going to happen. Even at best, at best he gets
fifty percent, he loses by twenty, plain and simple. The
numbers don't lie. That's the whole thing. And when you
start seeing these sort of this NPR Marris poll, I
call bullshit.
Speaker 1: You know, one way to be able to call it
like that is the New York Post and all the
right wing media. What they've been pushing for very long
is that Donald Trump is crushing in the polls. Right,
That's been the narrative that they've been pushing. Big crowds lie,
big polls lie. So pull that up one more time.
Trump Biden dead even nationally with first presidential debate just
nine days away. Poll and they try to frame that,
Michael Cohen as a positive for Donald Trump. I just
find that to be very interesting given all of the
other things that they've been pushing, where they've been.
Speaker 2: Saying it's it's it's.
Speaker 1: Trump is crushing. This isn't even close, and we've been
saying that's that's not the case. Look, we live in
a unfortunately a fairly a fairly divided country, and there
is to your point, about thirty to thirty five percent
of the country who Donald Trump very much represents to
a t from being a con artist to being a sociopath,
to his views towards women, to his views towards other minorities,
to his school assaulter. Yeah, and that's actually the quality
that thirty to thirty five percent of our country like
about him. Hashtag Magafoor felony. They like his criminality and
they see themselves in that behavior. That's that's a sad
realization to make. And in the past, the Republican Party
has always flirted with that group, right, whether it was
kind of the Tea Party thing, there was, you know,
whether you know George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan kind of
appealing to that group, but.
Speaker 2: They would at least still.
Speaker 1: Stop the overt white Boys summer, you know, type of stuff,
which which which maybe you say is worse that they
concealed it versus put it out in the open, which
allowed it to kind of grow and metastasize the way
it did. But as we kind of reflect on it,
I think the good news is though, that there is
about sixty five.
Speaker 2: Look at look at this Trump's supporter.
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's that's thirty percent of America. I mean,
you know, that is thirty percent of America.
Speaker 2: And seventy of Trump's MAGA army right there, the guys
with the three teeth, the four brain cells. I mean,
you know there's there's something just fundamentally wrong. Yes, you
have to laugh because it's said, it's pathetic. First and foremost,
let me be very clear about something. I do not
understand how a single woman in this country, regardless of
her race, religion, her creed, her color, regardless of any
any of her you know, anything that you know group
that she falls within, how could a woman possibly vote
for a man who takes credit for interfering with her
reproductive right decision making. They're not just doing your reproductive
right decision making, but they're also jeopardizing your health. I mean,
we all have talked about this with D and i's
we've talked about it now with IVF that they want.
They just thank god that, you know, the Supreme Court
ruled against you know that magamnia as it related to
methi prestone. I don't understand what people are thinking. And
then you have the men, the men who are connected
to the women, whether it's their spouse, whether it's their daughters,
whether it's their nieces, whether it's their friend's daughters, whoever,
whether it's their colleagues. How do you accept somebody patting
themselves on the diaper and turning around in saying things
like I take credit. I'm the one that overturned fifty
year starry decisives. How do you accept somebody who's willing
to go that far? And it's the same Supreme Court
now that's looking at cases to overturn the right of
same sex marriage, to overturn interracial marriage. This Supreme Court
is out of control. And worse than the Supreme Court
being out of control is the guy that ended up
putting the last three people.
Speaker 1: On Michael Cohen. You've got a new YouTube channel. It's
called The Michael Cohen Show. Everybody should go.
Speaker 2: And set at the Michael Cohen Show on YouTube.
Speaker 1: Yeah, at the Michael Cohen Show partner with the Midas
Touch Network. We want to try to grow that very
quickly to one hundred thousand subscribers, so I know you're
going to be posting daily videos there. Subscription is free,
free subscription at the Michael Cohen Podcast. Make sure you
subscribe that you did your first hot take today on
that channel. You're going to be updating that daily. So
we hear you loud, unclear beat down brigaders.
Speaker 2: We are. Can we post a link to make it
a little easy so that our brigaders can actually see
how that works. Yeah, we'll put it in that.
Speaker 1: We'll put it in the chat as well, and we'll
get that and just uh, we've got a lot more
show to discuss. I hear this Wisconsin and then by
Trump's just completely going Nutso right now we'll talk we'll
talk about that and more. Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 2: Have you ever wished that you had whiter and a
brighter smile? Well, before you visit a dentist used to
know that they're whitening treatments. They're very expensive, and you
know what, it's not just the price. You also have
to book the appointment, schedule time away from work or
family to sit in a dentist office chair while undergoing
this procedure. It's a hassle. Fortunately, now you can try
smile actives at home or anywhere anytime. Smile Actives offers
a safe and an affordable alternative to those expensive whitening procedures.
You see, I've had past experience with these whitening agents
and I got to tell you, I hated it. It
causes the zingers afterwards. It's really uncomfortable and I'm a

Speaker 1: T Welcome back Political Beatdown in Action. Cohen, Did you
you want to talk about some of those pro democracy sponsors?
Speaker 2: It seemed yes, I do. We'd always like to talk
about those pro democracy Uh, I happened to, I happen
to like my smile, I use it. I told you
that I drink a lot of coffee, usually especially at night.
You don't believe it or not. I drink a lot
of coffee at night before I go to bed, and
then right before I go, you know, I do another
round with uh, you know, with the whitening, and I
wake up in the morning look looking good, feeling good. Cohen.
Speaker 1: New York's highest court, which is called the Court of
Appeals because New York loves to make it extra confusing
for law students who have to try to remember all
the different court systems across the country. The trial court
in New York is called the New York Supreme Court.
The highest court is the Court of Appeals. So Donald
Trump appealed the gag order in the Manhattan criminal case
where he was convicted on thirty four separate felon accounts,
first to the Appellate Division, which is like the intermediate
Court of Appeals. He lost there. He then brought it
to the highest court, the Court of Appeals in New York,
and the highest court said, basically, why are you even
bringing this to us? This does not raise substantial constitutional
questions like get out of here, Like look, you're basically
you're a convicted felon, You're a criminal defendant. This is
not a controversial issue that there would be a gag
order that prevents you from attacking the family members of
court staff and the judge from attacking the jury and
attacking witnesses. That's what's called being a criminal defendant. That's
just what happens. Not a violation of the First Amendment,
it says. Appeal dismissed without cost by the Court Susponte, which,
by the way, it means, don't even submit us extra
things like we're just doing this on our own.
Speaker 2: Go away.
Speaker 1: They didn't even have to look at any filings. Just
don't bring this here.
Speaker 2: And let's not get that Trump can wa he can
seek leave to appeal. You know, it's it's again. You
know what's what's Donald's entire mo delay delayed delay, not
this time, you know, not this time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, appeal dismissed without costs by the Court Suisponte upon
the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.
I mean, Cohen, you're technically not technically you are a
protected person under the existing gag order. What do you
make of of it? I mean, look, it's just not
a normal thing for a criminal defendant, now, a convicted felon,
to behave the way he does. He is free, by
the way, I mean, he still talks about you all
the time. He thinks that it's like he thinks that
just because he calls you like the lawyer, that like
that gets around it. I think that should get addressed.
I hope that gets addressed by the Manhattan District Attorney's
office because they were multiple times I thought where he
violated the gag order during the trial.
Speaker 2: Five more times he violated the gagorder. Three of them
were about me. And there is a motion which is
going to be heard holding him again in contempt of
that gag order. Let me be clear about something. You know,
the problem with Donald is he's very myopic. He's kind
of like a donkey and you have a carrot. Remember
like the old what was it like our gang, right,
the little rascals, and they had a donkey, and to
get the donkey to move, they put a they put
a carrot in front of its nose that he can
never even got him to start moving. That's the problem.
Donald can't see past the tip of his own nose.
Why he needs to go now. On July eleventh, he's
going for sentencing on thirty four guilty charges, thirty four
counts guilt. On top of that, he's now violated the
court order ten times, to which he was fined ten
thousand dollars. Now, let's not all pretend for a split
second that that ten thousand means anything to him. Even
if it was one hundred thousand, he wouldn't care because
he'd find a magna moron to pay it, or a
whole group of them to pay it. So he's not
thinking about the money. It's what's the repercussion to him
for those violations. Well, so far, so far, Murshan has
been so solemony. And I'm not talking about I'm not
talking about that right now. It's merely its by law,
it's one thousand dollars max for a violation. They hit
him with the ten thousand. But when it comes time
to sentencing, including the fact that the entire PSR, the
pre sentenced report meeting with the Probation Office, lasted under
twenty five minutes, which is impossible, impossible. Just taking down
your personal information takes at least twenty minutes to do it.
It's much more in depth than you would think. What's
going to end up happening, I believe it's sentencing. This
is where Judge Marshawan is going to say, you know,
mister Trump, you're found guilty by a jury of your
peers on thirty four counts. The maximum is technically four
years per count. Nevertheless, because all of the counts revolve
around one specific scenario that it will run consecutive and
as a result, the most that he could potentially sentence
him would be to four years. However, however, as the judge,
he is permitted to do anything. As it relates, the
discretion that judges have is enormous, and Judge Murshan, if
Trump at the different I believe, I believe that he
would suspend the sentence. He would do something based upon
what we're dealing with here. A former president, YadA, YadA.
But not only has he shown zero contrition, he has
actually gone out of his way to attack the judge,
to attack the jury, to attack the judge's daughter, to
attack witnesses, to attack the Department of Justice, the entire process.
And this cannot stand because if you allow somebody, whether
it's a former president or you and I Ben to attack,
to attack the system to the extent that he is
doing with the ferocity and the use of members of Congress,
how does the system contain itself? How does it move forward?
How does it advance? How do we as a society
as a democratic republic move forward, and the answer is
you cannot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's his behavior is an affront to our entire
system of law and order and the fact that you
have the Republican Party that countenances that and promotes it.
And then you even had those Republican attorney generals from
twenty four states. They wanted to petition to be AMACKI
and file an amicus brief to support Donald Trump's claim
that Trump should be able to attack law enforcement by
lying that they were trying to assassinate him, which is
just false. And you have Republican attorney generals, the top
law enforcement officers in the state who want who's saying
that Donald Trump should be able to attack the DOJ
and FBI. It just goes to show you that the
entire Republican Party is completely gone to rot at this
point because of MAGA. There used to be some issues
that we could have, you know, important intelligent discussions with
we could agree to disagree on certain things, agree to
have civil discussions. It's just all kind of maga rot
right now. And speaking of that, I'm not going to
go through all the stuff that Donald Trump's been doing
in Wisconsin but I'll just show you what went down
moments ago, and this is what you and I were
talking about, Cohen, Like, this is Donald Trump's cognitive issues,
and this isn't like just like a moment of the speech.
I watched the full speeches of these things. I haven't
gotten to watch the Wisconsin full speech yet, but I
will after this. But when you watch his full speeches,
they're filled with him having imaginary converse sations with fictional
cannibals like Hannibal Lecter. It's filled with him talking about
how he rather be electrocuted than eaten by sharks. It's very,
very odd, but this is just what happened moments ago.
Let's let's play this clip.
Speaker 2: See Joe Biden's forming granting mass singer. He's going to
formally grant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's he's not even saying it's it's
a lot of that. We'll do a hot take after this,
or I'll do a hot take on this YouTube channel.
You did a more fulsome hot take as well on
the denial of Trump's gag order appeal. That's on your
YouTube channel. So in the description right now, we have
your the link to your YouTube. So if anybody wants
to go there, subscribe and follow the Cohen YouTube on
a daily basis.
Speaker 2: Let's let's you.
Speaker 1: Know you should do that now. So Coen a few
things to point out as well. Do you see the
story about there's this mysterious company that claims to be
from North Carolina, but no one in North Carolina has
seen this company registered in North Carolina, but they're showing
up in Donald Trump's financial reports and they've received like
three million dollars. And when you go to the website
of this of this company, it's like there's like nothing,
there's no one's answering reporters questions, but it's received about
over three million dollars from the Trump campaign. It just
always goes right back into this pattern, right Cohen, like
when it comes to.
Speaker 2: Praise about the benjamins. For God's sakes, you know, I wish,
I wish that there was a way for me to
go on Fox News with a story like that and
then just basically say to them, if you want to
give Donald money, give him money. If you want to
get give him, just give it to whoever you want.
But to have somebody create a fake company so that
they can steal money, that you're giving to a campaign
and you don't have a problem with that. I don't know.
I mean, you must be you must be raking in
the dough like it's you know, like it's fallen out
of at the sky. I don't understand it. Who wants
to be lied to and actually clap for the guy
who's lying to him? I don't get it. I don't
get it, you know.
Speaker 1: And then we also have seen the Trump Media stock
tanking over the past few days as well. I mean, look,
there was news that in the first quarter of this year,
Trump Media lost three hundred and twenty seven million dollars, that's,
according to their own financials, earned seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in revenue. There was a re audit of
last year's financials where they lost fifty eight million dollars
and earned around four million dollars in revenue on a
fifty eight million dollar loss. So they've gone from losing
fifty eight million dollars in one year to losing three
hundred and twenty seven million dollars in one quarter and
only earning seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars in revenue.
And again, you just go back to all of them.
Speaker 2: Just throw this in place for our brigaders. During the
best market in America's history.
Speaker 1: Every it's a great it's a great point. Every day
there are new records being set. And look, I don't
think that we should judge our economy by the stock market,
but we sure did when Donald Trump was in office. Yeah, right,
every day when Trump was in office, we heard if
the stock market went up that day even a little bit.
Speaker 2: Look how powerful it is. The economy is booming.
Speaker 1: The stock market right now is like double what it
was when Trump was in office, like double.
Speaker 2: My economy is doing better than any other time in
America's history. Thanks to me, you're all going to be
able to retire early, at least a few years earlier.
The guy's fucking nuts. He's really nuts.
Speaker 1: And you just think about the moves that President Biden's made.
How President Biden has made a commitment to fighting climate
change while also facilitating more domestic drilling than under Trump.
President Biden's basically broken OPEK So the OPEC cartel controlled
in the Middle East, tried to jack up the prices
to over one hundred dollars a barrel. Then President Biden
started releasing strategic reserves to bring the price down. So
Biden sold high, bought low, made billions of dollars. Say
it's like the greatest oil trade in history and has
brought down the gas prices significantly by breaking OPEK. At
the same time, President Biden has led a coalition with
Ukraine to fight back against Russia's unlawful invasion. Right Russia
claimed to be the second most powerful army in the world.
They're the second most powerful army right now in Ukraine.
I mean, just think about that task, and just think
about all of the things that President Biden's just doing
on a day to day basis at a domestic level.
I mean everything from addressing some of the problems that
existed with student loans and how the bad really the
bad credit more than anything to end the loans themselves,
were just preventing Americans from going about their lives. How
President Biden is addressing people's credit issues with medical debt
and exploitive collection tactics related to medical debt, how they're
has been over one million claims by veterans under the
Pack Act. These veterans would not have gotten life saving
care for being near burn pits, but for President Biden
pushing through the pack deck at a time where the
Maga Republicans were fist bumping each other and celebrating trying
to block the pack deck. President Biden has expanded the
Affordable Care Act significantly. He's reduced prescription drug prices. I
mean in every he.
Speaker 2: Got rid of a whole bunch of student debt, you know.
I mean, just to just to name a few, just
to name a.
Speaker 1: Field, I want everybody abscribed, and I want.
Speaker 2: You to keep going, just to keep going, because people
have to understand just how much Joe Biden has actually accomplished.
Speaker 1: How about this over forty thousand infrastructure projects right now
that taking place because the Infrastructure Act. How about the
Chips Act revitalizing the semiconductor industry here in the United States.
I could go on and on. In fact, I will
go on and on and on, but for and I'll
do that in other hot takes, but for now, Michael Cohen,
I want to remind everyone about your new YouTube channel.
