Speaker 1: Welcome to Political Beatdown and welcome back Michael Cohen.
Speaker 2: This isn't a special edition.
Speaker 1: This is Michael Cohen is back on Political Beatdown. Back
to our regularly scheduled programming here on the Midas Touch Network.
Welcome back, Welcome back, Welcome back, Michael Cohen. Great, I'm
even singing for you at the beginning. How the heck
are you doing? Michael Cohen?
Speaker 2: You know, it's a great question. I haven't figured it
out yet. You know, today I was go over to
my usual watering hole in the morning, you know, to
meet up with a bunch of friends, and we were
just having our general coffee and everybody asked me the
same question, how are you holding up? And the truth is,
I don't know yet. You know, sleep is still It's
remember that I've been on this journey for six long years,
troubling six long years. So just because we now have
thirty four out of thirty four guilty convictions doesn't mean
that it's over. It might be over in terms of
the court, but it's not like you just turned around
and you rip your shirt. So you take the shirt
off and your throat in the garbage and you go
get a new one. It doesn't really work like that.
You know, you still have all of your triggers, you
still have all of the anxiety that's there. It's uh,
trying to keep myself busy, so I'll let you know
when I figure it all out. I just don't really
have an answer. It's crazy. I thought that i'd wake up,
you know, on that Tuesday, right, and I would feel differently.
It's almost it's like when you go from your twenty
nine to thirty, well, thirty nine to forty or forty
nine to fifty, right, It's it's hard to explain, but
it's going to take some time for me to come back.
Speaker 1: Well, now, what all of the MAGA people are saying
is that everything was rigged.
Speaker 2: The judge was worth, the jury was rigged.
Speaker 1: Everything is rigged. And they're now even starting to say
the appeals process that's rigged.
Speaker 2: And you just go back and look.
Speaker 1: You know this better than anyone about Donald Trump, right,
his entire history of failure or criminality is when he loses,
he always says something is rigged. There's that famous moment,
of course, during the debate with Hillary Clinton where she said,
you know, you claim the Iowa and Wisconsin primaries were rigged.
You claim the Emmys were rigged, and you know it's
you know, funny if it's not in the context of
our democracy and leadership and somebody making life and death
decisions with real impacts over our country and the world.
Then you know, she gave that warning in twenty sixteen,
and you know, here we're seeing it again.
Speaker 2: And when you.
Speaker 1: See people too, like Todd Blanche who spent twenty one
hours or so, your whole testimony was twenty one hours,
but he spent many.
Speaker 2: Days on the half of it was him. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: So he's out there now and his reputation is just
totally destroyed at this point. I mean, and so he's
going on and that work.
Speaker 2: He shit on his reputation. Let's just call it what
it is.
Speaker 1: And so here he is in a recent interview where
he says that, uh, he's asked a very basic question, Right,
did Donald Trump get a fair process here?
Speaker 2: Which of course he did.
Speaker 1: Right. There was a grand jury that in die Donald
Trump's lawyers were involved in the jury selection. There was
over about seven weeks of trial, five weeks where evidence
was received, about twelve hours of jury deliberations. Then there
was a unanimous jury. That's our process. The crimes were
committed in New York, That's why they were brought where
the crimes took place. But let me show you what
Todd Bland said then, I want to get your reaction
to it. Michael Cohen, let's play that clip.
Speaker 3: Did your client get a fair trial?
Speaker 4: I mean no, I don't think so. I mean we've
been saying for over a year that we couldn't get
a fair trial in Manhattan. We couldn't get a fair
trial with the judge, and it played out in lots
of ways exactly as we expected.
Speaker 2: I mean, truly amazing. Right. First of all, look who
he's talking to. Do you really take Jesse Waters and
Fox News seriously? Jesse Waters is the next version of
fuck Carlson, plain and simple. Todd Blanche as we need
to all reference him as he is the Slott. You know.
The funny thing with Trump and with Blanching, with this
whole group of misfits, they like to come up with acronyms,
so we developed one ourselves. Todd Blanche is the Slott,
the stupidest lawyer of all time. I mean, this guy.
Let me just give you a quick for instance, He's
like the male version of Alina Haba. Do you guys
remember when Donald was bitching and complaining, bitchin and complaining
right why because he ran out of peremptory challenges. He
was so angry at Todd because he thought that he
had unlimited challenges. Todd didn't even do what every lawyer
does who's on trial that doing preempty child. You put
a piece of paper down and you mark off the
number of challenges that you use. You don't get unlimited,
you get ten. But Trump, in his own mind, is
I'm allowed to have as many as I want. No, No,
you're not. Blanche didn't even keep track of it, the
same way that Habadaba Baba Shmaba didn't even check off
the box for a jury trial, and she shipped that
one up. Meanwhile, Blande shited this one up. And here's
the worst part about somebody like Todd Blanche going on
Fox News. He's already shited his own reputation. Here's what
I know of him. He's not honest with his client.
And it's very hard that part. I don't. I don't
fault him on though in a case like this, you
need to be extremely honest with the client. What he's
doing right now by going on Fox and saying, you know,
the same shit over and over again, the Trump message,
stay on message. You can't get a fair trial. It's
already in the bag. Blah blah blah. Right, what he's
doing is Blanche is keeping Trump as calm as he
possibly can be with wrong information. And it's the same
wrong information, my friends, that led that led up to
the bed strategy that Todd Blanche employed in this case
that ultimately resulted in thirty four out of thirty four
guilty verdicts, plain and simple.
Speaker 1: There's the photo right there that the Biden Harris campaign posted,
and they're just saying, look, it is important that everybody
know that Donald Trump got a fair process, and he
is a convicted felon, and he is someone who has
been adjudicated to have engaged in a sexual assault. He's
someone who has adjudicated to engaged in a massive civil fraud,
and it's important that we don't mince words. That is
who is the leader right now of the Republican Party.
And they're all in on it. The Magua Republicans think saying, oh,
we may do our convention from prison and corporate media
almost treating that like it's somehow like a normal thing.
You're gonna do your convention from prison. There's nothing normal
about his behavior. There's nothing normal about how he behaved
outside the courtroom, inside the courtroom afterwards. I mean even
the mafia, you know, in the way they behave at
criminal trials. I mean, the the way Donald Trump acted
so juvenile and like a little like a little fascist baby.
It was just a it's a very strange thing. And
I think Michael Cohen that a few things have happened.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Obviously, the fact that Donald Trump is a convicted felon
carries with it serious and implaytions. But I also think
it was an event that blew up the corporate media
narrative where they couldn't keep hiding their best kept secret
of what a maniac he is, which they always try.
And there both sides ism to normalize. So the American
people were served a bunch of lies, not just of
course by Fox and right wing medium, but by corporate
media that this was somehow a normal race and a
normal event. And you had someone who's liberal and someone
who's conservative, and this is just like Obama McCain, right,
or Obama Romney, or you go back to you know,
George W. Bush al Gore or George W. Bush carried it.
This is just politics. It isn't And I think one
of the things I want to get your take about it,
but when every paper in the country has the headline guilty,
convicted felon and it's undisputed, sure you have the Maga cult.
But outside of the Maga cult, people in our country,
I think, by and large still respect our jury system,
our justice system, and the justice system went through its
normal process and he was convicted. So I think now
also people are paying attention and people are now seeing
him speak like he did on Friday and over the
weekend and saying, wait a minute, he's saying that the
insurrectionists are hostages and should be freed. He's bragging about
overturning Roe V.
Speaker 2: Wade.
Speaker 1: He's saying. People are paying attention now because of this
as well. You know, I think they should have been paying
attention before and watching Beatdown, but they're paying attention now.
Speaker 2: Michael Gohen, Well, fortunately they have an outlet like Political Beatdown.
Fortunately they have an outlet like the Midas Touch Network
or you know, my Maya Culpa podcasts, Well you can
now actually, and by the way, the new one is
dropping any any day now. I have norm Eiesen on,
who I thought would be an absolute perfect first guest
because he was there in the courtroom every single day.
Every single day, you know, he was in the courtroom.
But I want to go back and talk to first
of all, in that picture of Trump, is it me
or you know, does he really not look well in that?
In that picture? You know, there's something that's really looking
very off there. I can't figure out what's going on,
but there's something definitely going on there. Yeah, he just
doesn't look you know, healthy or normal to me. But
he's becoming more and more unhinged. Yesterday I did MSNBC
with joy Reid and she asked me a really great question,
how do you think Donald Trump is handling the fact
that he is now looking at some form of prison time.
He is a convicted felon that a jury of his peers, twelve,
a cross section of New York of male, female, you know,
white collar, blue collar, black, white, brown, you name it
all there on that jury unanimously in nine hours, determined
that he was guilty. That they acknowledged my narrative and
that the story that I have been telling for six
years was true. That's actually not a bad picture. That's
probably one of the few that's not atrocious. My thought
my thoughts here as I was asked that question is
only because Donald Trump is kind of like he's like
a donkey right with a carrot in front of its nose.
He can only see what's directly in front of him.
When you have, now, what does he have till the eleven?
So that's uh, you know what do you have five
weeks left? Give or take? Right now? He sees five
weeks as in the turnity because he has so many
other things that are preoccupying his mind. But when he
starts getting down to the fourteen day and then to
the seven day, watch how unhinged he becomes. He's gonna
be so unhinged. He's going to make that press conference
the other day look like, you know, like a Harvard debate.
I mean, it's gonna be absolutely nuts. It's gonna it's
it's gonna be nuts. He's going to go absolutely batshit crazy.
You're going to hear every second of the day. You're
gonna start seeing it on TikTok you're gonna start seeing
it on Instagram, on all forms of social media. Donald
screaming that this entire system is designed in order to
prevent me, your favorite president, from beating Joe Biden at
the polls. Because I'm beating him in every single poll,
and you know I've raised in May one hundred and
fifty one million dollars. Let me turn around and start
by saying bullshit. I'm calling bullshit on that. You see,
he knows that the reporting doesn't have to come around
for another three months, so he's gonna lie and try
to get more money from people. Now, do I think
that he raised a ton of money, Yes, yes, but
not from the small dollar donations that he's claiming he
got money from, like Sheldon Adelson's wife, or John Paulson,
or you know, any Steve Witkoff, any one of these
sycophantic assholes that are pouring money into him because it
benefits them. They use him like the useful idiot that
he is, plain and simple. They want something out of him,
each and every one of them. You know. They want
to be the next Secretary of the Treasury. They want
to be an ambassador, they want to be whatever the
fuck they want to be. They are going to go
ahead and use him because he is biable. You can
purchase Donald Trump based upon what you give today. All
you need to do is offer the carrot. Put the
money in front of him. So somebody like Sheldon Nagelsen's wife,
doctor Adelson. You know now that Sheldon is deceased, she's
worth what twenty two, twenty four, twenty five billion dollars?
Who cares how much money that you give. So if
she gave him fifty million dollars, big shit, How is
it going to change her life at all? The answer
is it's not. And by the time that the reporting
period comes to you know, comes to fruition, she'll have
made that money back in interest alone. That's the power
of this kind of billionaire class. That's the danger of
this billionaire class. And it's something that we, the average person,
we have to ensure because regardless of how much money
you have, your one vote is equal to their one vote.
So we have to make sure that that vote that
we have is cast in the right direction, plain and simple.
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen, of course, your show is called Maya Culpa,
and I think you and I and we the brigaders
believe in people's abilities to have their maya culpa moment.
And I think it's interesting that Joe Takapina, donald Trump's
former lawyer, who quit the trial team after the first
Egen Carol trial loss. He wasn't representing Trump on the
second Egen Carrol. He quit right before the criminal trial started,
and he recently, over the weekend, went on Al Sharpton's show,
and he wanted to be clear, you can say what
you want about the trial. It was not rigged. That
Donald Trump got a fair process. The jury deliberated and
it is not rigged. And I think that's something that Look,
we've been very critical of Takapina in the past when
he was serving less as a defense lawyer and more
as a tool of destruction for our democracy. He fell
into that obvious trap that should be so clear that
you've been warning lawyers against. But here he is over
the weekend, and in this clip he you know, first
is very critical of Tim Scott and other Republicans for
their attempts to destroy our judicial system, and then he
shares his own views. So we could share the whole
clip right here, and then I want to get your
response to this because you have been very critical of
him in the past. Let's play it.
Speaker 5: They might have a spring today, but it's not going
to last very long because what happened in New York
is a travesty of justice.
Speaker 6: Everybody knows that.
Speaker 7: I can't believe the hoax, this sham, this absolute injustice
justice system, weaponizing the justice system of the United States
of America against a political opponent, un American. Joe Biden,
You're fired.
Speaker 8: I do believe the Supreme courtiate step and obviously this
is totally unprecedented and it's dangerous to our system. This
will be overturned, guys, there's no question about it.
Speaker 6: It's just going to take some time.
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on what you just heard, Joe?
And as I mentioned, there are just a few of
the many of the Republican.
Speaker 8: Yeah, what I hear like Tim Scott is someone I
used to respect, but I sort of lost a lot
of respect from what I just heard because he sounded
so uneducated, unintelligent, and made no sense at all to
say that. Look, I understand there's a political motivation to
a lot of what's going on in our country today,
and everyone wants to sort of paint a broadbrush, and
you know this is a political vendetta and weaponization of
the justice system. This is a statecase. This is different
than the Jack Smith cases. Okay, this is not a
federal prosecution. Joe Biden or anyone from his Justice Department
have absolutely zero to do with the Manhattan disc Attorneys Office.
They have no jurisdiction over him, they have no contacts
with them, they have no control certainly over him. So
to say that Joe Biden brook this case is one
of the most ridiculous things I've heard. We know that's
not the case, and even even Trump's lawyers know that's
not the case.
Speaker 5: Wait your idea, because as you say, even Trump's lawyers
know that's the case. You are an attorney with Trump.
You are on Trump's case early and got off the case,
so you would you're speaking as one that knew as
you signed into work for Trump, which you explained on
this show why and you explained why you got out
that this had nothing to do with Joe Biden any
of the federal government trying to lean in on Donald Trump.
Speaker 8: The federal government has no input on the Manhattan distc
atturns of state prosecution.
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen what's your reaction to Donald Trump's former lawyer
Joe Taccapinas somewhat made a culpa there.
Speaker 2: First of all, you know, good for Rev. Good for
Rev for asking the tough question and for actually having
Tacapina on on the show, and good for Tacapina for
coming up with his own maya culpa. Personally, I would
have liked to have heard even more from him. I
would have liked to have heard, you know, some of
the things that you know, he knows that Donald wanted
to do. That validates the points that he's making, and
it could be a issue, and I get it of
you know, attorney client privilege, so I fully get that. However,
Trump is so deranged in what he's saying that I
don't know whether or not that this would rise to
you know, a you know, a violation where Takapina, who
has been attacked by Trump also as being disloyal, has
the right to defend his name and his reputation because
rest assured, if you don't get it gets muddied up
very very quickly. So good for Joe in that case,
in coming clean and acknowledging that our Justice Department under
the Biden administration has not been weaponized. Is not corrupt. Now,
I want to be very clear about something something I
also said the other day on Joy Read. The real
issue here is not the Biden administration's weaponization of the
Justice Department. You see, Donald believes that everyone out there
is as corrupt and as he is. All right, he
believes that everyone is as corrupt as he is. And
he knows exactly what he did with Attorney General former
Attorney General Bill in their weaponization of the Justice Department
against me. When they went ahead and they unconstitutionally remanded
me back to Otisville off of a counterfeit, fraudulent document
that they prepared specifically for me. It had no federal
identifiable numbers to it, it was not a federal location
monitoring agreement. It violated my First Amendment constitutional rights. And
when they asked me to sign it and I wouldn't.
It's not even a legitimate document. They had the marshalls
waiting for me, handcuffed, shackled, and then returned me to
Otisville until fortunately my lawyer, Donya Perrody, was able to
file a Habeast petition that took fifteen days before which
Judge Federal Court Southern District of New York. Alvin K. Hellerstein.
Alvin Hellerstein, Federal Court judge turned around and called it
retaliation by the present and the Attorney general to silence
a critic. Does any of this not sound familiar in
terms of what Trump is saying about the Biden administration?
This is deflection, or as Trump was like, it's deflection. Deflection,
all right, that's what he's doing. He's deflecting what he
did to me, believing that everyone is as corrupt as
he is, so that therefore, since he did it to
me through his Attorney General, through his Justice Department, that
that's what Biden is doing. He's trying to deflect upon
this administration despite the fact is absolutely not just that
there's no proof. It's insane.
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen, you testified for twenty one hours. You've probably
have testified in more proceedings in our country for longer
durations than almost any ammer.
Speaker 2: Somebody check that out and see if I get at
least from Guinness Book of World's Records, Right, I would
like to get a plaque that says, you know, I mean,
I testified before seven Congressional committees, right, New York AG
now the Manhattan District Attorney, can somebody check it out.
Maybe we need to go to Guinness Book of World's
Records and see if I can't get in there. Yeah,
and Donald Trump, I can't do the hula hoop. My
back is really bad these days.
Speaker 1: So we don't want to see you do the huluhu.
Michael Cohen, just join me on political beat down on
a regular basis, and I think everyone will be uh
will be quite happy. But of course Donald Trump didn't
testify at the criminal trial. You and I both said
there was zero chance he was going to testify. Let
me show you here, though, what his lawyer, Todd Blanche
said in a recent interview when he was asked on CNN,
why did Donald Trump not take the stand? And here's
what Trump's lawyer had to say. Let's play it.
Speaker 6: Why did Donald Trump not ultimately take the stand? Here?
Speaker 4: Well, that's a very personal question to him and to me, honestly,
and it's a very difficult question. Of course, he wanted
to testify, and I don't say that because that's what
he has said. He wanted to get his story out.
I think the judge had made some decisions before the
trial or the day of the trial started about what
what would be allowed to be asked of him by
the by the prosecutors if he took the stand, And
some of those questions were really complicated to answer because
there's still appeals going on and and so there's a
lot of there's a lot of decision points that go
into whether somebody testifies. Ultimately, it's his decision, and he
listened to us, and he relied on our council and
he reached the decision that he that he thought was right,
which I very much agreed with.
Speaker 6: So that means your counsel was for him to not
take the stand. I'm not going to tell you what
my counsel was. He said, he relied on council and
he went with that decision and he didn't take the stand.
Speaker 4: Ultimately, it was his, it was his decision. And I
never say, and I think colleagues and folks of you
havevan hopefully agree with me, I never say to somebody,
don't take the stand, right, That's that's their decision, and
that's a decision that.
Speaker 6: They have to make.
Speaker 4: But but I want them to have They'll want to
know what will happen on the good and the bad
if they do take the stand.
Speaker 6: So no regrets on him not taking the stand.
Speaker 4: Look, the verdict came down a couple hours ago. I
don't know if I have any regrets about anything yet.
I'm still I'm still thinking things through and I think
so or so is he, and so is so everybody
else around him. But at this point, I don't think
that we that there was a conviction because he did
not take the stand.
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, he reminds me of Michael Cohen,
the weather man from Anchorman, that Steve Corell character.
Speaker 2: Right, he's exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have an image of that,
we'll pull it up in a little bit. But what
do you make of that?
Speaker 2: Something like Brock Remember he was like, you know, and
where did you get that triton from? Remember he threw
a try into someone's chest? I don't know.
Speaker 1: There he is exactly. I don't know why he didn't test.
I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll tell you why. First and foremost, Todd
Blanche is a sloat And second, the reason Donald didn't
take the stand because you scared shitless to take the stand.
First question, out of the box, you have an affair
with Stormy Daniels. Just ask the question, were you in
the room in August of twenty fifteen with Michael Cohen
and David Pecker? Right? Did you hatch the scheme within
which to catch and kill stories whatever you want to
call it, right, and that would harm you and to
plant stories that would be beneficial to you and detrimental
to your opponents? Did you do all of this stuff right?
Did you have an affair with Karen McDougall. Did Michael
Cohen sit down with you on a dozen or two
dozen or three dozen occasions and talk to you about
what needs to be done regarding an NDA? I mean,
you can't ask these questions of somebody like Trump. See
Blanche who the slot right, the stupidest lawyer of all
times should have said, there's no way that we can
allow Donald Trump to take the stand. It would actually
be legal malpractice for us not to say to him,
don't take the stand. Most defendants do not take the stand.
Because and as Donald turned around and said, so, that's
how we know. That's how we know that this conversation
certainly came up when he said, if I say the
slightest thing wrong, if I say the slightest thing wrong,
they'll get me on perjury. And so no, not the
slightest thing wrong. You bullshitt and a half artist, all right,
when you fucking lie on the stand like you did
even in the Ingern case, the New York Attorney General case,
when Judge anger On demanded you take the stand and
asked you point blank, who were you talking about when
you went out right now, right before you went out
and you spoke to the press, who were you talking about?
Were you talking about my law clerk? Oh no, no, no,
I was talking about Michael Cohen. And he goes what,
he goes, yeah, I was talking about Michael Cohen. They're
all sitting there scratching the head. Really, yeah, yeah, And
then he had the lawyers lie too, right, And so
Judge and Goron, in his ninety three page decision turned
around and said that Donald Trump lacked credibility even for
that one, very very specific question, for that one Veron.
You see, he refuses to take accountability for his actions.
He refuses to accept responsibility for the diarrhea of his
mouth because he knew that he would be vie elading
the gig order by doing that. That's who he is.

Speaker 9: And now let's take a quick break to talk about
our next partner, Roan. If you're like me, you understand
the pains of finding out what to wear. Let's face it,
most clothes are uncomfortable or too tight, or never actually
the size that you really are, and not to make
the annoyance of trying to put together a good outfit,
and when you finally do have a good fit, you
can only wear it for a few hours before you
have an important meeting or dinner and then you have
to change. Everyone wants to dress their best and look
good at all times because frankly, it's a confidence booster.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal.
Speaker 9: Men's closets were due for a radical reinvention, and Ron

the video.
Speaker 1: It was good to see Jordan doing those doing that
adread at the end, but I want exclusively Michael Cohen adreads.
There's nothing like a Cohen ad read. It just kind
of jolts you awake and makes it it's experiential. When
I see a Cohen adread, I feel it's an immersive experience.
And by the way, I know that Cohen really likes
all the products because he talks to me about him
all the time, and he would not let me post
videos of these if he didn't actually use all of
the products. But Cohen, I want to talk more about
just how whiny Maga is being right now, so much
so that with the Hunter Biden trial taking place in
federal court in Delaware for a paper violation of purchasing
a firearm, Apparently, while the allegation is well, Hunter Biden
was addicted to drugs, and so with the other special
council that was a kind of Trump special council utilized
was Hunter Biden's book where Hunter Biden says that he
was addicted to drugs at that time. So basically they said, look,
you purchased a gun then, and you didn't check the
box saying that you were addicted to drugs when you
purchase the firearm. And even though that's quite literally never
been used before, unlike falsification of business records which has
been used many many times before. And even though the
whole Maga Republican position is to get rid of these
forms in general and everybody should have weapons of war
and ar fifteens, they're going after Hunter Biden for the
purchase of a handgun and saying that he didn't check
the box, saying he wasn't toxic anyway. Look, the bottom
line is is that I have confidence in the jury process,
and however it plays out, I'm going to respect the verdict.
That's the way our system, that's the way our system works.
But here is what all the Maga Republican influencers are saying.
You have this Johnny Maga account, which Donald Trump always reposts.
And now they say the Hunter Biden trial has been rigged.
So they say the Hunter Biden jury has been selected,
and it's comically rigged. Of course, includes six people directly
impacted by drug addiction and a former Secret Service employee
who Ashley Biden smiled at. And what they are utilizing.
There is a clip from Jesse Waters of Fox where
he's saying, meet the jurors, and he's saying, those jurors
are rigged. Cohen, all of this wine over.
Speaker 2: This is so gross, Bend, It's so gross. I can't
believe we're actually even engaged in this type of a conversation.
The attack on the judicial system, the attack on the process,
on tax on the judges, on attacks on the on
the jurors, on the on the the witnesses, attacks on everybody.
That's all they know how to do. It's just to
keep attacking, attacking, attacking, and even after a situation like
what happened. Look, you know, fellow brigaders, let me be
very clear. So many people, and I love you all
for your concern about whether it's my health, physical, emotional
and so on, understand that the bullshit of MAGA doesn't stop.
Because Donald Trump got nailed thirty four out of thirty
four times with guilty, with a guilty with guilty decisions
a determination of guilt by the jur in the thirty
four counts. It doesn't stop. So you may have heard
that now I've gotten docked, not just me, but my
wife and my children. What they do is they punish
you day in and day out. So yeah, you know,
the country, the world, those who dislike Donald for good reason,
by the way, are happy that he has been held accountable.
That doesn't stop the pain that keeps getting inflicted on
me and my family day in and day out, day
in and day out by these maga assholes who on
who just constantly are trying to find ways to hurt you,
to make it known that if you do something which
is injurious to Donald von schitzen Pants, they are going
to make you pay for it. This docs and shit
is real, all right. It's not just the phone calls.
It's not just the vile texts and emails, or the
sending of food to my home at all hours. You know.
It's it's not that they did it again today. They're
only hurting the local restaurants like they send I'm gonna
those chicken wings. I've never had a piece of chicken
in my life, so they clearly know that. So they
send it there and they don't pay for it upfront.
So now the restaurant is losing money because they not
only did they send it out, but they also had
to prepare the food. And I'm not buying it first,
so I wouldn't eat it in the first place. They
did it with pizzas last night, and then they again
the vile comments that come. They hateful till I have
the FBI now involved in it. I contacted my local
precinct so that they know my bigger fear is not
about so much the dosing as much as it is
about the swatting, because that comes next. So I put
the precinct on notice, my local precinct, that I promise
you thirty years. I'm married to my wife. You know
there's no issue in our marriage. My children are fine.
If anything comes up where somebody claims that there's an
issue in regard to my address, with my apartment number
and so on, here's my cell number, here's my wife's
cell number, here are my children's cell numbers. Just call
us and you'll understand that there's absolutely nothing on it's swatting,
that this is all part of this maga cult behavior.
This is not normal. It's just not normal. And understand
that this this doesn't allow me to try to decompress
from the six years of pain that this man has
and his administration, like the Bill Barrs of the world,
have put me through. All Right, they don't care. This
is a message. They already know that I got them,
all right. You know, not only is he now, as
a result of my testimony, a felon. And when I
say mine, I don't want to say mine as meaning
just me and me alone. There were twenty prosecutorial witnesses,
and all of our testimony corroborated each other's testimony, plus
plus the hundreds of pages of documentary evidence, all corroborated
again the statements I was, as I like to say,
I was the narrator of the story, the same narration
of a story that ultimately led to the New York
Attorney General, with Judge and Goron deciding that Trump was
guilty of that as well, to the tune of five
hundred million dollars. Now, so he's civilly liable he's criminally liable.
He's liable as well, civilly to e Gen Carroll, this
is not this is not what we should be looking
for in a future president. And the fact that the
Republican Party cannot extricate this cancer from there, from you know,
one of our two political parties, it's amazing. And how
about the fact, let me just go and tell until
Rantia for a second. I apologize, but it's important. He
lies every single time he opens his mouth. Could you
imagine he's sitting there again Fox News, He's out there
lying that he never said in regard to Hillary Clinton,
lock her up. He never said it. It wasn't me,
it was the crowd. So what do they do? They
show one clip like what like what we do here
on political Beatdown. They show one clip after another after another,
and another and another and another, and then another another
another and another and so on and so forth. He
lies every time he opens up his mouth. That's how
you know he's lying. His lips are moving. And this
is crazy that again, that there's even a race here.
How could there even be a race. You've got a
guy who's criminally liable, civilly liable. He's been held accountable
for civil rape. You know, I mean, this guy, this
guy is just not who America should want as its leader.
And it blows my mind. It blows my mind that
you have people Republican and Democrats alike that say, yeah,
but Joe Biden, right, what about Hunter Biden? Let me
be very clear, my friends, And this is the answer
that we have to say. Hunter Biden's not running for president. Okay,
he's not. And I'll tell you something too. If Hunter
Biden is by chance found guilty and ordered to do
prison time, I guarantee you Joe Biden is not going
to pardon him. It's gonna turn around and let him
do his time, because Joe Biden respects the rule of law. Now,
I'd like to see people start looking into Trump's kids.
Why don't you look into the two and a half
billion dollars that Jared Kushner went ahead and god what
the six hundred and forty million that was made by
Ivanka and Jared during their time in the White in
the White House's senior advisors, or some of the things
that Don Junior has done or Eric Trump has done.
Why don't they start looking into these kids too? I mean,
is that what is that really what we're supposed to do?
Or Lara Trump with the way that she's handling the
Republican National Committee, the fact that they're paying people off
like Boris Epstewm, the fucking lapdog that he is. Could
you imagine this? They are all fucking dirty. They're dirty,
and all they know how to do is use They
use them their megaphone, and they have a big megaphone,
use it in order to hurt people like me every
single day. They're angry because I told the truth. They're
angry that their daddy and them of course by proxy,
as the scion. They're angry that their company has been
held responsible, that the dad is gonna have to pay
the company is going to have to pay five hundred
million dollars. They're angry that he has to pay plus
this ninety eight million to EG and Carol. They're angry
that he's looking at the repercussions of thirty four out
of thirty four criminal convictions. All right, They're angry about it,
and so they need to take it out on somebody.
And they don't want this continuing. There's three more cases
coming down the road. They don't want anybody testifying against
Donald And how do you do that? You show the
pain and the suffering that a witness is going to
go through if you go to the other side like
I did. And that's that's called obstruction of justice. It's
called witness tampering. And each and every one of them
should be held accountable.
Speaker 1: Cohen, It wasn't so long ago where that trial before
Justice and Goren was held. The civil fraud trial. It
was a bench trial, meaning it was just before Justice
and Goroon, not a jury. And I recall every day
Donald Trump and his lawyers Alina Habba would whine, no,
this wasn't about checking the box. We were deprived of
a jury. And had we had a jury here in
the civil fraud trial, this would come out very very different.
We wanted a jury, we were deprived of that right here.
And then in the criminal case they get the jury. Oh,
the jury's rigged. It's all rigged. While Donald Trump is
saying at the same time, New York is going to
turn red. Have you seen the crowds outside? There are
so many Trump supporters there, but yet the jury's rigged.
But all of your supporters are also outside. And there's
a line that goes and stretches for miles according to you.
But right, Cohen, wasn't their whole thing? If we just
got a jury would come out differently. Well, you got
a jury. Not only did you get a jury, the
Trump organization got a jury in the other criminal case,
and that jury found Donald Trump's organization, the Trump organization
guilty of tax for it. You got a jury in
the first Egen Carol case, you got a jury in
the second Eging Carol case jury jury, jury jury, and
you were found liable or guilty in each of the
four recent jury trials. And you were also found civilly
liable before justice and goron here. So I think that's
worth mentioning because they're talking points don't even make sense.
And let me show you the most recent one right here.
This is now what Fox is saying. And Fox is
such a plague on our country, as are all this
right with media and frankly lots of corporate media for
viewing this propaganda. Now they say the appeals court is rigged.
I mean, just think you're mister and missus Magdonia. You
think you're watching the news, but you're getting North Korea
propaganda basically style propaganda beamed into your living room, and
you're just being blatantly lied to to tear, to shreds
our system from an adjudicated sexual assault. This is what
Fox is going with. Now the appeals court is ragged,
so the same way the jury was, the judge was,
now the appeals court is. So don't expect Donald Trump
to win there because they're all democratic operatives as well.
Here's what Fox is saying. Let's play this quick.
Speaker 10: Of the twenty one all but one was appointed by
a Democratic New York governor, and a review a federal
estate campaign record show at least fourteen of the tornaent
one justices gave campaign contributions to Democratic politicians, democratic committees,
or clubhouses in the past before they were appointed to
this court, but even while they were serving as judges
in lower courts. The newest judge appointed here is Justice
Marsham Michael. She was appointed eight months ago by Governor
Kathy Hochel. In twenty fourteen, Justice Michael ran for a
New York State Assembly seat in the Bronx and the
Democratic primary. She was endorsed in that race by the
New York City Public advocate Letitia James, who went on,
of course, to become the New York State Attorney General
who prosecuted Trump in the real estate fraud trial last year.
Here you see Judge Michael and James at the time
ten years ago on the campaign's sump. But Judge Michael
lost that race two months ago. It was Judge Michael
who ruled against Trump when his lawyers tried to stop
Judge Jan Merschawan's trial from starting just days before opening statements.
Another justice here, Ellen Gessmer, gave thousands of dollars of
campaign contributions to Democrats before she took the bench. Federal
Election Commission record so she gave two thousand dollars to
Senator Chuck Schumer's campaign in nineteen ninety eight and to
Hillary Clinton's two thousand New York Senate race seven twenty
five dollars. She gave two hundred and fifty bucks to
Howard Dean's presidential campaign in two thousand and three, and
seventeen hundred dollars to Democratic campaign committees.
Speaker 2: I mean, just the seventeen hundred dollars, two thousand dollars,
I mean, come on, that's that's Eric Sean. He's actually
a pretty decent guy. I've known him a long time
at Fox News. Seriously, oh my god, he gave seventeen
hundred and fifteen dollars and ten years ago the two
of them had a cup of coffee together, you know.
And I mean the whole thing is this. It's as
crazy as when you see Donald Trump waving to these
fake crowds. Right, so Ben, here watch, I'm gonna do
it too, right, I mean, how ridiculous is this? How
can I show that video?
Speaker 1: We've got that.
Speaker 2: Let me show you.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, Donald Trump leaving Trump Cower filming a
propaganda video, but the cameras were on the wrong side,
so you can see that he's waving to nobody while
they're making this video. Here, let's let's play this video.
Speaker 2: I thank you all, Thank you all. I truly appreciate
everybody coming here. I mean to watch me live in
my in my home as I'm here on political beatdown
with my buddy Ben my cells. Thank you all so
very very much. I know, I know, thank you, thank you, No,
thank you, Ben. I mean, this guy is so full
of shit. It's like, you know, and then did you
see it with the press conference? Half those people I
recognize them they work in, they work in the building.
I mean, it's it is truly amazing the fact that
he literally believes that everybody is stupid, that he could
pull the wall over everybody's eyes, you know, day in
and day out. But you know, look, now that I'm back,
certainly not going to forget about the two fingers salute.
That's going to go to the people who are doxing
me and my family. Fuck you all when I find
out who you are, all right, And we will ultimately
find out who you are some way or another. The
FBI is on it, police are watching, I'll try, I'll
put private people on it. I will figure out who
you are, and I will one hundred percent, to the
fullest extent of the law. We will come after you
with everything that we got, plain and simple. I have
absolutely had enough of the attacks on myself, the attacks
on my family. That's exactly what they are. They are cowards, cowards.
This has got to be the stupidest thing in the world.
This isn't like when you're a kid and you make
a phone phone Mom, Mom, I need you help, Mom?
Oh my god, who is this mom? Right? I mean,
this isn't funny. They're sending police to people's homes. That's
called swatting. They're calling in the middle of the night.
They're texting the most vile things you know, to me,
to my wife, to my children. Seriously, seriously, this is
what we've become because of political discourse. You don't like
the fact that your guy is being held accountable for
the first time. I should say the first because Egene
and the New York Ag he's being held accountable for
a crime. I should now have all my personal information
put out onto the dark web. Come on, fuck you.
Speaker 1: I remember Donald Trump saying that if only he was
not at the criminal trial, he would be campaigning. But
Friday golf, Saturday golf, Sunday he golf, Monday he golfed,
and he's out again. I mean, look, his whole golfing
thing is very weird. I mean, that's a lot of
time to be I get that golfing's, you know, fun,
and I get people can have hobbies, but like, there's
something pathological about the sheer amount of times the guy
is actually playing golfing every single minute of every single day.
