1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: Welcome to Political Beatdown and welcome back Michael Cohen.

2
00:00:09,759 --> 00:00:11,679
Speaker 2: This isn't a special edition.

3
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:18,879
Speaker 1: This is Michael Cohen is back on Political Beatdown. Back

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:25,480
to our regularly scheduled programming here on the Midas Touch Network.

5
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:34,359
Welcome back, Welcome back, Welcome back, Michael Cohen. Great, I'm

6
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:36,840
even singing for you at the beginning. How the heck

7
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,200
are you doing? Michael Cohen?

8
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's a great question. I haven't figured it

9
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:47,880
out yet. You know, today I was go over to

10
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,799
my usual watering hole in the morning, you know, to

11
00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:53,079
meet up with a bunch of friends, and we were

12
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:56,280
just having our general coffee and everybody asked me the

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,320
same question, how are you holding up? And the truth is,

14
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:04,000
I don't know yet. You know, sleep is still It's

15
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,120
remember that I've been on this journey for six long years,

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,439
troubling six long years. So just because we now have

17
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,400
thirty four out of thirty four guilty convictions doesn't mean

18
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:26,359
that it's over. It might be over in terms of

19
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,159
the court, but it's not like you just turned around

20
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,599
and you rip your shirt. So you take the shirt

21
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:33,200
off and your throat in the garbage and you go

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,840
get a new one. It doesn't really work like that.

23
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,439
You know, you still have all of your triggers, you

24
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:42,959
still have all of the anxiety that's there. It's uh,

25
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:48,439
trying to keep myself busy, so I'll let you know

26
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,079
when I figure it all out. I just don't really

27
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,280
have an answer. It's crazy. I thought that i'd wake up,

28
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:59,560
you know, on that Tuesday, right, and I would feel differently.

29
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,079
It's almost it's like when you go from your twenty

30
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:05,280
nine to thirty, well, thirty nine to forty or forty

31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,159
nine to fifty, right, It's it's hard to explain, but

32
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,680
it's going to take some time for me to come back.

33
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: Well, now, what all of the MAGA people are saying

34
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:20,719
is that everything was rigged.

35
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: The judge was worth, the jury was rigged.

36
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: Everything is rigged. And they're now even starting to say

37
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,360
the appeals process that's rigged.

38
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: And you just go back and look.

39
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: You know this better than anyone about Donald Trump, right,

40
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:46,080
his entire history of failure or criminality is when he loses,

41
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:48,919
he always says something is rigged. There's that famous moment,

42
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,560
of course, during the debate with Hillary Clinton where she said,

43
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,719
you know, you claim the Iowa and Wisconsin primaries were rigged.

44
00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:00,479
You claim the Emmys were rigged, and you know it's

45
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:03,560
you know, funny if it's not in the context of

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,240
our democracy and leadership and somebody making life and death

47
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:14,039
decisions with real impacts over our country and the world.

48
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:17,800
Then you know, she gave that warning in twenty sixteen,

49
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,000
and you know, here we're seeing it again.

50
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:20,719
Speaker 2: And when you.

51
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: See people too, like Todd Blanche who spent twenty one

52
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,080
hours or so, your whole testimony was twenty one hours,

53
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,360
but he spent many.

54
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: Days on the half of it was him. Yeah, you know.

55
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: So he's out there now and his reputation is just

56
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,759
totally destroyed at this point. I mean, and so he's

57
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,919
going on and that work.

58
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: He shit on his reputation. Let's just call it what

59
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,000
it is.

60
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: And so here he is in a recent interview where

61
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,639
he says that, uh, he's asked a very basic question, Right,

62
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:56,680
did Donald Trump get a fair process here?

63
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: Which of course he did.

64
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: Right. There was a grand jury that in die Donald

65
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,400
Trump's lawyers were involved in the jury selection. There was

66
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:07,879
over about seven weeks of trial, five weeks where evidence

67
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:12,439
was received, about twelve hours of jury deliberations. Then there

68
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,199
was a unanimous jury. That's our process. The crimes were

69
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,920
committed in New York, That's why they were brought where

70
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:20,800
the crimes took place. But let me show you what

71
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Todd Bland said then, I want to get your reaction

72
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,120
to it. Michael Cohen, let's play that clip.

73
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:27,519
Speaker 3: Did your client get a fair trial?

74
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: I mean no, I don't think so. I mean we've

75
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:35,079
been saying for over a year that we couldn't get

76
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:37,759
a fair trial in Manhattan. We couldn't get a fair

77
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,279
trial with the judge, and it played out in lots

78
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,040
of ways exactly as we expected.

79
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: I mean, truly amazing. Right. First of all, look who

80
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,079
he's talking to. Do you really take Jesse Waters and

81
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:59,600
Fox News seriously? Jesse Waters is the next version of

82
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,600
fuck Carlson, plain and simple. Todd Blanche as we need

83
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:09,079
to all reference him as he is the Slott. You know.

84
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,519
The funny thing with Trump and with Blanching, with this

85
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,040
whole group of misfits, they like to come up with acronyms,

86
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,079
so we developed one ourselves. Todd Blanche is the Slott,

87
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,480
the stupidest lawyer of all time. I mean, this guy.

88
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Let me just give you a quick for instance, He's

89
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,600
like the male version of Alina Haba. Do you guys

90
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,319
remember when Donald was bitching and complaining, bitchin and complaining

91
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:43,120
right why because he ran out of peremptory challenges. He

92
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,000
was so angry at Todd because he thought that he

93
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:52,720
had unlimited challenges. Todd didn't even do what every lawyer

94
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,240
does who's on trial that doing preempty child. You put

95
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,120
a piece of paper down and you mark off the

96
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,680
number of challenges that you use. You don't get unlimited,

97
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:07,480
you get ten. But Trump, in his own mind, is

98
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:10,519
I'm allowed to have as many as I want. No, No,

99
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:13,959
you're not. Blanche didn't even keep track of it, the

100
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,920
same way that Habadaba Baba Shmaba didn't even check off

101
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,000
the box for a jury trial, and she shipped that

102
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,800
one up. Meanwhile, Blande shited this one up. And here's

103
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,279
the worst part about somebody like Todd Blanche going on

104
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:33,040
Fox News. He's already shited his own reputation. Here's what

105
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:37,360
I know of him. He's not honest with his client.

106
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,800
And it's very hard that part. I don't. I don't

107
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,920
fault him on though in a case like this, you

108
00:06:44,079 --> 00:06:48,959
need to be extremely honest with the client. What he's

109
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,639
doing right now by going on Fox and saying, you know,

110
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,680
the same shit over and over again, the Trump message,

111
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,560
stay on message. You can't get a fair trial. It's

112
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:03,360
already in the bag. Blah blah blah. Right, what he's

113
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:07,240
doing is Blanche is keeping Trump as calm as he

114
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:12,079
possibly can be with wrong information. And it's the same

115
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,240
wrong information, my friends, that led that led up to

116
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:21,439
the bed strategy that Todd Blanche employed in this case

117
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,920
that ultimately resulted in thirty four out of thirty four

118
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:30,600
guilty verdicts, plain and simple.

119
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,839
Speaker 1: There's the photo right there that the Biden Harris campaign posted,

120
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,600
and they're just saying, look, it is important that everybody

121
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,759
know that Donald Trump got a fair process, and he

122
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:46,839
is a convicted felon, and he is someone who has

123
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,040
been adjudicated to have engaged in a sexual assault. He's

124
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:55,519
someone who has adjudicated to engaged in a massive civil fraud,

125
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,319
and it's important that we don't mince words. That is

126
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,199
who is the leader right now of the Republican Party.

127
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:07,079
And they're all in on it. The Magua Republicans think saying, oh,

128
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,480
we may do our convention from prison and corporate media

129
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:15,240
almost treating that like it's somehow like a normal thing.

130
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:20,000
You're gonna do your convention from prison. There's nothing normal

131
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:25,720
about his behavior. There's nothing normal about how he behaved

132
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:32,039
outside the courtroom, inside the courtroom afterwards. I mean even

133
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,720
the mafia, you know, in the way they behave at

134
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,639
criminal trials. I mean, the the way Donald Trump acted

135
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,480
so juvenile and like a little like a little fascist baby.

136
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:48,879
It was just a it's a very strange thing. And

137
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:53,440
I think Michael Cohen that a few things have happened.

138
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:53,919
Speaker 2: You know.

139
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,639
Speaker 1: Obviously, the fact that Donald Trump is a convicted felon

140
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,039
carries with it serious and implaytions. But I also think

141
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,559
it was an event that blew up the corporate media

142
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,559
narrative where they couldn't keep hiding their best kept secret

143
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,519
of what a maniac he is, which they always try.

144
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,159
And there both sides ism to normalize. So the American

145
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,159
people were served a bunch of lies, not just of

146
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,919
course by Fox and right wing medium, but by corporate

147
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,320
media that this was somehow a normal race and a

148
00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:30,240
normal event. And you had someone who's liberal and someone

149
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,080
who's conservative, and this is just like Obama McCain, right,

150
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,759
or Obama Romney, or you go back to you know,

151
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,120
George W. Bush al Gore or George W. Bush carried it.

152
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,279
This is just politics. It isn't And I think one

153
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,279
of the things I want to get your take about it,

154
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,279
but when every paper in the country has the headline guilty,

155
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:57,399
convicted felon and it's undisputed, sure you have the Maga cult.

156
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,840
But outside of the Maga cult, people in our country,

157
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,120
I think, by and large still respect our jury system,

158
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:08,120
our justice system, and the justice system went through its

159
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:11,039
normal process and he was convicted. So I think now

160
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,279
also people are paying attention and people are now seeing

161
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,360
him speak like he did on Friday and over the

162
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,799
weekend and saying, wait a minute, he's saying that the

163
00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:23,679
insurrectionists are hostages and should be freed. He's bragging about

164
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,720
overturning Roe V.

165
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: Wade.

166
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:28,799
Speaker 1: He's saying. People are paying attention now because of this

167
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,200
as well. You know, I think they should have been paying

168
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,240
attention before and watching Beatdown, but they're paying attention now.

169
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,279
Speaker 2: Michael Gohen, Well, fortunately they have an outlet like Political Beatdown.

170
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,519
Fortunately they have an outlet like the Midas Touch Network

171
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,159
or you know, my Maya Culpa podcasts, Well you can

172
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,799
now actually, and by the way, the new one is

173
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:51,879
dropping any any day now. I have norm Eiesen on,

174
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,039
who I thought would be an absolute perfect first guest

175
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,200
because he was there in the courtroom every single day.

176
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,200
Every single day, you know, he was in the courtroom.

177
00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:03,919
But I want to go back and talk to first

178
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:06,399
of all, in that picture of Trump, is it me

179
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,960
or you know, does he really not look well in that?

180
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,320
In that picture? You know, there's something that's really looking

181
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,200
very off there. I can't figure out what's going on,

182
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,480
but there's something definitely going on there. Yeah, he just

183
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:29,639
doesn't look you know, healthy or normal to me. But

184
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:35,279
he's becoming more and more unhinged. Yesterday I did MSNBC

185
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:39,080
with joy Reid and she asked me a really great question,

186
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,080
how do you think Donald Trump is handling the fact

187
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:47,879
that he is now looking at some form of prison time.

188
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:54,360
He is a convicted felon that a jury of his peers, twelve,

189
00:11:54,600 --> 00:12:00,600
a cross section of New York of male, female, you know,

190
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,039
white collar, blue collar, black, white, brown, you name it

191
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,600
all there on that jury unanimously in nine hours, determined

192
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,080
that he was guilty. That they acknowledged my narrative and

193
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,399
that the story that I have been telling for six

194
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,080
years was true. That's actually not a bad picture. That's

195
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:29,440
probably one of the few that's not atrocious. My thought

196
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:33,919
my thoughts here as I was asked that question is

197
00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:38,519
only because Donald Trump is kind of like he's like

198
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,120
a donkey right with a carrot in front of its nose.

199
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:45,799
He can only see what's directly in front of him.

200
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:49,320
When you have, now, what does he have till the eleven?

201
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:52,320
So that's uh, you know what do you have five

202
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,080
weeks left? Give or take? Right now? He sees five

203
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:02,080
weeks as in the turnity because he has so many

204
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,759
other things that are preoccupying his mind. But when he

205
00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:09,559
starts getting down to the fourteen day and then to

206
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:15,799
the seven day, watch how unhinged he becomes. He's gonna

207
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,559
be so unhinged. He's going to make that press conference

208
00:13:19,639 --> 00:13:25,080
the other day look like, you know, like a Harvard debate.

209
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:29,000
I mean, it's gonna be absolutely nuts. It's gonna it's

210
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,240
it's gonna be nuts. He's going to go absolutely batshit crazy.

211
00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:37,279
You're going to hear every second of the day. You're

212
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:40,240
gonna start seeing it on TikTok you're gonna start seeing

213
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,519
it on Instagram, on all forms of social media. Donald

214
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,759
screaming that this entire system is designed in order to

215
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,159
prevent me, your favorite president, from beating Joe Biden at

216
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:56,120
the polls. Because I'm beating him in every single poll,

217
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,879
and you know I've raised in May one hundred and

218
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,960
fifty one million dollars. Let me turn around and start

219
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,440
by saying bullshit. I'm calling bullshit on that. You see,

220
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,519
he knows that the reporting doesn't have to come around

221
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:12,559
for another three months, so he's gonna lie and try

222
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,039
to get more money from people. Now, do I think

223
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,120
that he raised a ton of money, Yes, yes, but

224
00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:22,399
not from the small dollar donations that he's claiming he

225
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:27,639
got money from, like Sheldon Adelson's wife, or John Paulson,

226
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,799
or you know, any Steve Witkoff, any one of these

227
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,559
sycophantic assholes that are pouring money into him because it

228
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:41,000
benefits them. They use him like the useful idiot that

229
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,240
he is, plain and simple. They want something out of him,

230
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,279
each and every one of them. You know. They want

231
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,879
to be the next Secretary of the Treasury. They want

232
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:53,759
to be an ambassador, they want to be whatever the

233
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:56,240
fuck they want to be. They are going to go

234
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,559
ahead and use him because he is biable. You can

235
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:05,120
purchase Donald Trump based upon what you give today. All

236
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:08,159
you need to do is offer the carrot. Put the

237
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,919
money in front of him. So somebody like Sheldon Nagelsen's wife,

238
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,559
doctor Adelson. You know now that Sheldon is deceased, she's

239
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,159
worth what twenty two, twenty four, twenty five billion dollars?

240
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:23,639
Who cares how much money that you give. So if

241
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:27,399
she gave him fifty million dollars, big shit, How is

242
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,919
it going to change her life at all? The answer

243
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:34,200
is it's not. And by the time that the reporting

244
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,919
period comes to you know, comes to fruition, she'll have

245
00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:41,759
made that money back in interest alone. That's the power

246
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,080
of this kind of billionaire class. That's the danger of

247
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:50,639
this billionaire class. And it's something that we, the average person,

248
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,159
we have to ensure because regardless of how much money

249
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,200
you have, your one vote is equal to their one vote.

250
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,000
So we have to make sure that that vote that

251
00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:06,759
we have is cast in the right direction, plain and simple.

252
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,159
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen, of course, your show is called Maya Culpa,

253
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,840
and I think you and I and we the brigaders

254
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,159
believe in people's abilities to have their maya culpa moment.

255
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,679
And I think it's interesting that Joe Takapina, donald Trump's

256
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:30,639
former lawyer, who quit the trial team after the first

257
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:34,200
Egen Carol trial loss. He wasn't representing Trump on the

258
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,840
second Egen Carrol. He quit right before the criminal trial started,

259
00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:43,519
and he recently, over the weekend, went on Al Sharpton's show,

260
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:46,200
and he wanted to be clear, you can say what

261
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,200
you want about the trial. It was not rigged. That

262
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,000
Donald Trump got a fair process. The jury deliberated and

263
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,879
it is not rigged. And I think that's something that Look,

264
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:02,320
we've been very critical of Takapina in the past when

265
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,720
he was serving less as a defense lawyer and more

266
00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:09,920
as a tool of destruction for our democracy. He fell

267
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,799
into that obvious trap that should be so clear that

268
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:17,640
you've been warning lawyers against. But here he is over

269
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,759
the weekend, and in this clip he you know, first

270
00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:24,200
is very critical of Tim Scott and other Republicans for

271
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:29,519
their attempts to destroy our judicial system, and then he

272
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,000
shares his own views. So we could share the whole

273
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:34,359
clip right here, and then I want to get your

274
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,480
response to this because you have been very critical of

275
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:39,079
him in the past. Let's play it.

276
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 5: They might have a spring today, but it's not going

277
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:44,799
to last very long because what happened in New York

278
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,160
is a travesty of justice.

279
00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:47,079
Speaker 6: Everybody knows that.

280
00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 7: I can't believe the hoax, this sham, this absolute injustice

281
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,160
justice system, weaponizing the justice system of the United States

282
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,799
of America against a political opponent, un American. Joe Biden,

283
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:04,079
You're fired.

284
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,839
Speaker 8: I do believe the Supreme courtiate step and obviously this

285
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,920
is totally unprecedented and it's dangerous to our system. This

286
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,279
will be overturned, guys, there's no question about it.

287
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:13,319
Speaker 6: It's just going to take some time.

288
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on what you just heard, Joe?

289
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,400
And as I mentioned, there are just a few of

290
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,839
the many of the Republican.

291
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, what I hear like Tim Scott is someone I

292
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,559
used to respect, but I sort of lost a lot

293
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,200
of respect from what I just heard because he sounded

294
00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:35,799
so uneducated, unintelligent, and made no sense at all to

295
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,359
say that. Look, I understand there's a political motivation to

296
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,160
a lot of what's going on in our country today,

297
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:46,000
and everyone wants to sort of paint a broadbrush, and

298
00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:49,119
you know this is a political vendetta and weaponization of

299
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,200
the justice system. This is a statecase. This is different

300
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,000
than the Jack Smith cases. Okay, this is not a

301
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:59,799
federal prosecution. Joe Biden or anyone from his Justice Department

302
00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:03,319
have absolutely zero to do with the Manhattan disc Attorneys Office.

303
00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:06,359
They have no jurisdiction over him, they have no contacts

304
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,640
with them, they have no control certainly over him. So

305
00:19:09,759 --> 00:19:12,480
to say that Joe Biden brook this case is one

306
00:19:12,519 --> 00:19:15,359
of the most ridiculous things I've heard. We know that's

307
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,640
not the case, and even even Trump's lawyers know that's

308
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,200
not the case.

309
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 5: Wait your idea, because as you say, even Trump's lawyers

310
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,160
know that's the case. You are an attorney with Trump.

311
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,480
You are on Trump's case early and got off the case,

312
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:34,119
so you would you're speaking as one that knew as

313
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,559
you signed into work for Trump, which you explained on

314
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,799
this show why and you explained why you got out

315
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:43,000
that this had nothing to do with Joe Biden any

316
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,599
of the federal government trying to lean in on Donald Trump.

317
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 8: The federal government has no input on the Manhattan distc

318
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,559
atturns of state prosecution.

319
00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen what's your reaction to Donald Trump's former lawyer

320
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,720
Joe Taccapinas somewhat made a culpa there.

321
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,599
Speaker 2: First of all, you know, good for Rev. Good for

322
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,920
Rev for asking the tough question and for actually having

323
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:15,119
Tacapina on on the show, and good for Tacapina for

324
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:18,799
coming up with his own maya culpa. Personally, I would

325
00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:21,839
have liked to have heard even more from him. I

326
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:24,680
would have liked to have heard, you know, some of

327
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:30,480
the things that you know, he knows that Donald wanted

328
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,319
to do. That validates the points that he's making, and

329
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,279
it could be a issue, and I get it of

330
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,160
you know, attorney client privilege, so I fully get that. However,

331
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,160
Trump is so deranged in what he's saying that I

332
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,519
don't know whether or not that this would rise to

333
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:57,880
you know, a you know, a violation where Takapina, who

334
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,640
has been attacked by Trump also as being disloyal, has

335
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,960
the right to defend his name and his reputation because

336
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:11,000
rest assured, if you don't get it gets muddied up

337
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,359
very very quickly. So good for Joe in that case,

338
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:20,599
in coming clean and acknowledging that our Justice Department under

339
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:27,440
the Biden administration has not been weaponized. Is not corrupt. Now,

340
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,920
I want to be very clear about something something I

341
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,200
also said the other day on Joy Read. The real

342
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:40,640
issue here is not the Biden administration's weaponization of the

343
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,200
Justice Department. You see, Donald believes that everyone out there

344
00:21:45,759 --> 00:21:50,240
is as corrupt and as he is. All right, he

345
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,839
believes that everyone is as corrupt as he is. And

346
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,799
he knows exactly what he did with Attorney General former

347
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:03,640
Attorney General Bill in their weaponization of the Justice Department

348
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:09,359
against me. When they went ahead and they unconstitutionally remanded

349
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,279
me back to Otisville off of a counterfeit, fraudulent document

350
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:18,319
that they prepared specifically for me. It had no federal

351
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,880
identifiable numbers to it, it was not a federal location

352
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:27,240
monitoring agreement. It violated my First Amendment constitutional rights. And

353
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:29,759
when they asked me to sign it and I wouldn't.

354
00:22:29,799 --> 00:22:33,519
It's not even a legitimate document. They had the marshalls

355
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:38,160
waiting for me, handcuffed, shackled, and then returned me to

356
00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:43,480
Otisville until fortunately my lawyer, Donya Perrody, was able to

357
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:48,039
file a Habeast petition that took fifteen days before which

358
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,200
Judge Federal Court Southern District of New York. Alvin K. Hellerstein.

359
00:22:53,759 --> 00:22:57,680
Alvin Hellerstein, Federal Court judge turned around and called it

360
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:03,039
retaliation by the present and the Attorney general to silence

361
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,480
a critic. Does any of this not sound familiar in

362
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:10,680
terms of what Trump is saying about the Biden administration?

363
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:17,079
This is deflection, or as Trump was like, it's deflection. Deflection,

364
00:23:17,519 --> 00:23:20,759
all right, that's what he's doing. He's deflecting what he

365
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:24,319
did to me, believing that everyone is as corrupt as

366
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,359
he is, so that therefore, since he did it to

367
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,759
me through his Attorney General, through his Justice Department, that

368
00:23:31,759 --> 00:23:34,960
that's what Biden is doing. He's trying to deflect upon

369
00:23:35,319 --> 00:23:39,359
this administration despite the fact is absolutely not just that

370
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,400
there's no proof. It's insane.

371
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:47,319
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen, you testified for twenty one hours. You've probably

372
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:53,160
have testified in more proceedings in our country for longer

373
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:55,200
durations than almost any ammer.

374
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: Somebody check that out and see if I get at

375
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,720
least from Guinness Book of World's Records, Right, I would

376
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:02,960
like to get a plaque that says, you know, I mean,

377
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,880
I testified before seven Congressional committees, right, New York AG

378
00:24:08,559 --> 00:24:11,599
now the Manhattan District Attorney, can somebody check it out.

379
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:14,680
Maybe we need to go to Guinness Book of World's

380
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,119
Records and see if I can't get in there. Yeah,

381
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,880
and Donald Trump, I can't do the hula hoop. My

382
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,440
back is really bad these days.

383
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: So we don't want to see you do the huluhu.

384
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,920
Michael Cohen, just join me on political beat down on

385
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,079
a regular basis, and I think everyone will be uh

386
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,680
will be quite happy. But of course Donald Trump didn't

387
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,880
testify at the criminal trial. You and I both said

388
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:40,160
there was zero chance he was going to testify. Let

389
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,680
me show you here, though, what his lawyer, Todd Blanche

390
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,119
said in a recent interview when he was asked on CNN,

391
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:50,680
why did Donald Trump not take the stand? And here's

392
00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:52,519
what Trump's lawyer had to say. Let's play it.

393
00:24:53,079 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 6: Why did Donald Trump not ultimately take the stand? Here?

394
00:24:57,039 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 4: Well, that's a very personal question to him and to me, honestly,

395
00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:08,920
and it's a very difficult question. Of course, he wanted

396
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,640
to testify, and I don't say that because that's what

397
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,640
he has said. He wanted to get his story out.

398
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,480
I think the judge had made some decisions before the

399
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:20,720
trial or the day of the trial started about what

400
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,880
what would be allowed to be asked of him by

401
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,920
the by the prosecutors if he took the stand, And

402
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,039
some of those questions were really complicated to answer because

403
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:32,079
there's still appeals going on and and so there's a

404
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:34,839
lot of there's a lot of decision points that go

405
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,680
into whether somebody testifies. Ultimately, it's his decision, and he

406
00:25:38,759 --> 00:25:41,799
listened to us, and he relied on our council and

407
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,359
he reached the decision that he that he thought was right,

408
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,960
which I very much agreed with.

409
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:49,039
Speaker 6: So that means your counsel was for him to not

410
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:50,559
take the stand. I'm not going to tell you what

411
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:52,480
my counsel was. He said, he relied on council and

412
00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:54,359
he went with that decision and he didn't take the stand.

413
00:25:54,519 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 4: Ultimately, it was his, it was his decision. And I

414
00:25:57,519 --> 00:25:59,680
never say, and I think colleagues and folks of you

415
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,599
havevan hopefully agree with me, I never say to somebody,

416
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,079
don't take the stand, right, That's that's their decision, and

417
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:05,880
that's a decision that.

418
00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:06,519
Speaker 6: They have to make.

419
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,279
Speaker 4: But but I want them to have They'll want to

420
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:13,839
know what will happen on the good and the bad

421
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:14,960
if they do take the stand.

422
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 6: So no regrets on him not taking the stand.

423
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 4: Look, the verdict came down a couple hours ago. I

424
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,400
don't know if I have any regrets about anything yet.

425
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,200
I'm still I'm still thinking things through and I think

426
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:27,920
so or so is he, and so is so everybody

427
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,640
else around him. But at this point, I don't think

428
00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:33,400
that we that there was a conviction because he did

429
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,359
not take the stand.

430
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,599
Speaker 1: By the way, you know, he reminds me of Michael Cohen,

431
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,559
the weather man from Anchorman, that Steve Corell character.

432
00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: Right, he's exactly.

433
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have an image of that,

434
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,240
we'll pull it up in a little bit. But what

435
00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:50,000
do you make of that?

436
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: Something like Brock Remember he was like, you know, and

437
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,599
where did you get that triton from? Remember he threw

438
00:26:57,599 --> 00:27:00,880
a try into someone's chest? I don't know.

439
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: There he is exactly. I don't know why he didn't test.

440
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:08,599
I don't know.

441
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:11,839
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll tell you why. First and foremost, Todd

442
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,519
Blanche is a sloat And second, the reason Donald didn't

443
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:20,559
take the stand because you scared shitless to take the stand.

444
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,640
First question, out of the box, you have an affair

445
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,839
with Stormy Daniels. Just ask the question, were you in

446
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,720
the room in August of twenty fifteen with Michael Cohen

447
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:36,240
and David Pecker? Right? Did you hatch the scheme within

448
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:40,279
which to catch and kill stories whatever you want to

449
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:44,119
call it, right, and that would harm you and to

450
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:49,160
plant stories that would be beneficial to you and detrimental

451
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,759
to your opponents? Did you do all of this stuff right?

452
00:27:52,799 --> 00:27:56,519
Did you have an affair with Karen McDougall. Did Michael

453
00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:59,400
Cohen sit down with you on a dozen or two

454
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,200
dozen or three dozen occasions and talk to you about

455
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,599
what needs to be done regarding an NDA? I mean,

456
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:11,519
you can't ask these questions of somebody like Trump. See

457
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:16,160
Blanche who the slot right, the stupidest lawyer of all

458
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,759
times should have said, there's no way that we can

459
00:28:19,839 --> 00:28:23,279
allow Donald Trump to take the stand. It would actually

460
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,279
be legal malpractice for us not to say to him,

461
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:32,359
don't take the stand. Most defendants do not take the stand.

462
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,519
Because and as Donald turned around and said, so, that's

463
00:28:35,519 --> 00:28:38,279
how we know. That's how we know that this conversation

464
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,039
certainly came up when he said, if I say the

465
00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:45,519
slightest thing wrong, if I say the slightest thing wrong,

466
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,119
they'll get me on perjury. And so no, not the

467
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,640
slightest thing wrong. You bullshitt and a half artist, all right,

468
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:56,799
when you fucking lie on the stand like you did

469
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,839
even in the Ingern case, the New York Attorney General case,

470
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,079
when Judge anger On demanded you take the stand and

471
00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:10,160
asked you point blank, who were you talking about when

472
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,200
you went out right now, right before you went out

473
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,359
and you spoke to the press, who were you talking about?

474
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,559
Were you talking about my law clerk? Oh no, no, no,

475
00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:23,279
I was talking about Michael Cohen. And he goes what,

476
00:29:24,039 --> 00:29:27,079
he goes, yeah, I was talking about Michael Cohen. They're

477
00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:30,920
all sitting there scratching the head. Really, yeah, yeah, And

478
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,480
then he had the lawyers lie too, right, And so

479
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,359
Judge and Goron, in his ninety three page decision turned

480
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,359
around and said that Donald Trump lacked credibility even for

481
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:48,279
that one, very very specific question, for that one Veron.

482
00:29:48,279 --> 00:29:52,359
You see, he refuses to take accountability for his actions.

483
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:56,599
He refuses to accept responsibility for the diarrhea of his

484
00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:00,480
mouth because he knew that he would be vie elading

485
00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:04,160
the gig order by doing that. That's who he is.

486
00:30:05,799 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: Michael Cohen. We're gonna be having an exclusive zoom meeting

487
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:15,880
with our Beatdown Patreon members, and we're going to try

488
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,119
to do it at a time where we can hopefully

489
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,000
get the most audience to show up there. So we're

490
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,200
going to do it tomorrow morning. We're going to do

491
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,480
it at seven am Pacific ten am Easter Time, so

492
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:33,119
ten am Easter Time, and hopefully that allows some of

493
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,880
our international audience. We're often it's a little bit too

494
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,680
late for them to join these after shows, so we

495
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:42,400
try to time this one to make sure everybody can

496
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,720

00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 9: And now let's take a quick break to talk about

551
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,559
our next partner, Roan. If you're like me, you understand

552
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:54,119
the pains of finding out what to wear. Let's face it,

553
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,880
most clothes are uncomfortable or too tight, or never actually

554
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,960
the size that you really are, and not to make

555
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,319
the annoyance of trying to put together a good outfit,

556
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,480
and when you finally do have a good fit, you

557
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,519
can only wear it for a few hours before you

558
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:08,480
have an important meeting or dinner and then you have

559
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:11,559
to change. Everyone wants to dress their best and look

560
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:14,800
good at all times because frankly, it's a confidence booster.

561
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:16,039
Speaker 1: So here's the deal.

562
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 9: Men's closets were due for a radical reinvention, and Ron

563
00:34:20,039 --> 00:34:23,239
stepped up to the challenge. Ron's Commuter Collection is the

564
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,320
most comfortable, breathable, and flexible set of products known to man.

565
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: And here's why.

566
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,599
Speaker 9: Ron helps you get ready for any occasion with the

567
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:35,840

00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,480
what to wear when you have the Rone Commuter Collection.

570
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,360
Ron's comfortable four way stretch fabric provides breathability and flexibility

571
00:34:46,519 --> 00:34:48,960
that leaves you free to enjoy what life throws your way,

572
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:51,840
from your commute to work to your eighteen holes of golf.

573
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,719
It's time to feel confident without the hassle. With Ron's

574
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,000
wrinkle release technology, Wrinkles disappear as you stretch and where

575
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:01,920
the products. It's that easy.

576
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,119
Speaker 2: With the gold.

577
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,559
Speaker 9: Fusion antioder technology, you'll be smelling fresh and clean all

578
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:08,880
day long. And on top of that, Roan is one

579
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,159
hundred percent machine washable, so you can ditch the dry

580
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:16,639
cleaner altogether. I absolutely love Roan. This has truly become

581
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,719
my go to commuter fit. We're on the move a lot,

582
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,039
whether it's jumping from meeting to meeting, or catching a

583
00:35:22,039 --> 00:35:25,519
flight or an important dinner. The Rone Commuter Collection has

584
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:28,840
never let me down. The versatility and overall comfort of

585
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,920
the collection is undefeated, and even after I wear it

586
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,559
all day, I still feel super fresh because of that

587
00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:38,440
gold fusion antioder technology. The Commuter Collection can get you

588
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,920

595
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:06,679
the video.

596
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,199
Speaker 1: It was good to see Jordan doing those doing that

597
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,880
adread at the end, but I want exclusively Michael Cohen adreads.

598
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:18,039
There's nothing like a Cohen ad read. It just kind

599
00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:22,239
of jolts you awake and makes it it's experiential. When

600
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,760
I see a Cohen adread, I feel it's an immersive experience.

601
00:36:26,119 --> 00:36:28,320
And by the way, I know that Cohen really likes

602
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,639
all the products because he talks to me about him

603
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,400
all the time, and he would not let me post

604
00:36:33,519 --> 00:36:35,920
videos of these if he didn't actually use all of

605
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,480
the products. But Cohen, I want to talk more about

606
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:43,039
just how whiny Maga is being right now, so much

607
00:36:43,079 --> 00:36:46,360
so that with the Hunter Biden trial taking place in

608
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,239
federal court in Delaware for a paper violation of purchasing

609
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,760
a firearm, Apparently, while the allegation is well, Hunter Biden

610
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,960
was addicted to drugs, and so with the other special

611
00:36:59,039 --> 00:37:02,119
council that was a kind of Trump special council utilized

612
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:05,920
was Hunter Biden's book where Hunter Biden says that he

613
00:37:06,199 --> 00:37:10,960
was addicted to drugs at that time. So basically they said, look,

614
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,880
you purchased a gun then, and you didn't check the

615
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,679
box saying that you were addicted to drugs when you

616
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,559
purchase the firearm. And even though that's quite literally never

617
00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:24,320
been used before, unlike falsification of business records which has

618
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,320
been used many many times before. And even though the

619
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,760
whole Maga Republican position is to get rid of these

620
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,880
forms in general and everybody should have weapons of war

621
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,119
and ar fifteens, they're going after Hunter Biden for the

622
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:40,119
purchase of a handgun and saying that he didn't check

623
00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:43,199
the box, saying he wasn't toxic anyway. Look, the bottom

624
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,760
line is is that I have confidence in the jury process,

625
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:49,320
and however it plays out, I'm going to respect the verdict.

626
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,760
That's the way our system, that's the way our system works.

627
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,880
But here is what all the Maga Republican influencers are saying.

628
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,519
You have this Johnny Maga account, which Donald Trump always reposts.

629
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,960
And now they say the Hunter Biden trial has been rigged.

630
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,800
So they say the Hunter Biden jury has been selected,

631
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,199
and it's comically rigged. Of course, includes six people directly

632
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,440
impacted by drug addiction and a former Secret Service employee

633
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:23,320
who Ashley Biden smiled at. And what they are utilizing.

634
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,760
There is a clip from Jesse Waters of Fox where

635
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,840
he's saying, meet the jurors, and he's saying, those jurors

636
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,840
are rigged. Cohen, all of this wine over.

637
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:38,599
Speaker 2: This is so gross, Bend, It's so gross. I can't

638
00:38:38,639 --> 00:38:42,760
believe we're actually even engaged in this type of a conversation.

639
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,360
The attack on the judicial system, the attack on the process,

640
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,000
on tax on the judges, on attacks on the on

641
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:56,920
the jurors, on the on the the witnesses, attacks on everybody.

642
00:38:57,119 --> 00:38:59,639
That's all they know how to do. It's just to

643
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:04,880
keep attacking, attacking, attacking, and even after a situation like

644
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:08,760
what happened. Look, you know, fellow brigaders, let me be

645
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,280
very clear. So many people, and I love you all

646
00:39:11,559 --> 00:39:16,960
for your concern about whether it's my health, physical, emotional

647
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:23,920
and so on, understand that the bullshit of MAGA doesn't stop.

648
00:39:24,199 --> 00:39:28,199
Because Donald Trump got nailed thirty four out of thirty

649
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,719
four times with guilty, with a guilty with guilty decisions

650
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:38,239
a determination of guilt by the jur in the thirty

651
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:43,400
four counts. It doesn't stop. So you may have heard

652
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:47,320
that now I've gotten docked, not just me, but my

653
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,199
wife and my children. What they do is they punish

654
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,800
you day in and day out. So yeah, you know,

655
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:03,800
the country, the world, those who dislike Donald for good reason,

656
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,400
by the way, are happy that he has been held accountable.

657
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:14,920
That doesn't stop the pain that keeps getting inflicted on

658
00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:19,880
me and my family day in and day out, day

659
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,079
in and day out by these maga assholes who on

660
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,119
who just constantly are trying to find ways to hurt you,

661
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:33,320
to make it known that if you do something which

662
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:39,400
is injurious to Donald von schitzen Pants, they are going

663
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,760
to make you pay for it. This docs and shit

664
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,119
is real, all right. It's not just the phone calls.

665
00:40:46,119 --> 00:40:49,559
It's not just the vile texts and emails, or the

666
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,440
sending of food to my home at all hours. You know.

667
00:40:54,079 --> 00:40:56,760
It's it's not that they did it again today. They're

668
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,400
only hurting the local restaurants like they send I'm gonna

669
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,519
those chicken wings. I've never had a piece of chicken

670
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,599
in my life, so they clearly know that. So they

671
00:41:05,639 --> 00:41:07,880
send it there and they don't pay for it upfront.

672
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,440
So now the restaurant is losing money because they not

673
00:41:12,519 --> 00:41:14,400
only did they send it out, but they also had

674
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,679
to prepare the food. And I'm not buying it first,

675
00:41:16,679 --> 00:41:18,239
so I wouldn't eat it in the first place. They

676
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,239
did it with pizzas last night, and then they again

677
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,079
the vile comments that come. They hateful till I have

678
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,800
the FBI now involved in it. I contacted my local

679
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,599
precinct so that they know my bigger fear is not

680
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,440
about so much the dosing as much as it is

681
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:39,280
about the swatting, because that comes next. So I put

682
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:44,320
the precinct on notice, my local precinct, that I promise

683
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,840
you thirty years. I'm married to my wife. You know

684
00:41:48,639 --> 00:41:53,280
there's no issue in our marriage. My children are fine.

685
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,719
If anything comes up where somebody claims that there's an

686
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,440
issue in regard to my address, with my apartment number

687
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,639
and so on, here's my cell number, here's my wife's

688
00:42:03,639 --> 00:42:06,800
cell number, here are my children's cell numbers. Just call

689
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,199
us and you'll understand that there's absolutely nothing on it's swatting,

690
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:16,000
that this is all part of this maga cult behavior.

691
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,760
This is not normal. It's just not normal. And understand

692
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,000
that this this doesn't allow me to try to decompress

693
00:42:25,079 --> 00:42:29,119
from the six years of pain that this man has

694
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,039
and his administration, like the Bill Barrs of the world,

695
00:42:33,079 --> 00:42:37,159
have put me through. All Right, they don't care. This

696
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,079
is a message. They already know that I got them,

697
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,360
all right. You know, not only is he now, as

698
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:50,880
a result of my testimony, a felon. And when I

699
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,800
say mine, I don't want to say mine as meaning

700
00:42:54,920 --> 00:43:00,599
just me and me alone. There were twenty prosecutorial witnesses,

701
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:07,960
and all of our testimony corroborated each other's testimony, plus

702
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,000
plus the hundreds of pages of documentary evidence, all corroborated

703
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:16,519
again the statements I was, as I like to say,

704
00:43:16,679 --> 00:43:20,840
I was the narrator of the story, the same narration

705
00:43:21,039 --> 00:43:24,000
of a story that ultimately led to the New York

706
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,559
Attorney General, with Judge and Goron deciding that Trump was

707
00:43:29,599 --> 00:43:34,679
guilty of that as well, to the tune of five

708
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:40,400
hundred million dollars. Now, so he's civilly liable he's criminally liable.

709
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,639
He's liable as well, civilly to e Gen Carroll, this

710
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,760
is not this is not what we should be looking

711
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,199
for in a future president. And the fact that the

712
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:58,000
Republican Party cannot extricate this cancer from there, from you know,

713
00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:02,920
one of our two political parties, it's amazing. And how

714
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,559
about the fact, let me just go and tell until

715
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:10,840
Rantia for a second. I apologize, but it's important. He

716
00:44:11,199 --> 00:44:15,000
lies every single time he opens his mouth. Could you

717
00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:19,239
imagine he's sitting there again Fox News, He's out there

718
00:44:19,679 --> 00:44:24,039
lying that he never said in regard to Hillary Clinton,

719
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:27,440
lock her up. He never said it. It wasn't me,

720
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:31,320
it was the crowd. So what do they do? They

721
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,519
show one clip like what like what we do here

722
00:44:34,599 --> 00:44:40,280
on political Beatdown. They show one clip after another after another,

723
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,920
and another and another and another, and then another another

724
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,960
another and another and so on and so forth. He

725
00:44:47,079 --> 00:44:50,639
lies every time he opens up his mouth. That's how

726
00:44:50,679 --> 00:44:53,840
you know he's lying. His lips are moving. And this

727
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:59,039
is crazy that again, that there's even a race here.

728
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:01,840
How could there even be a race. You've got a

729
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,280
guy who's criminally liable, civilly liable. He's been held accountable

730
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,280
for civil rape. You know, I mean, this guy, this

731
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:18,000
guy is just not who America should want as its leader.

732
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,119
And it blows my mind. It blows my mind that

733
00:45:22,199 --> 00:45:26,320
you have people Republican and Democrats alike that say, yeah,

734
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,440
but Joe Biden, right, what about Hunter Biden? Let me

735
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,119
be very clear, my friends, And this is the answer

736
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,320
that we have to say. Hunter Biden's not running for president. Okay,

737
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,840
he's not. And I'll tell you something too. If Hunter

738
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,639
Biden is by chance found guilty and ordered to do

739
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,639
prison time, I guarantee you Joe Biden is not going

740
00:45:48,679 --> 00:45:51,599
to pardon him. It's gonna turn around and let him

741
00:45:51,599 --> 00:45:57,519
do his time, because Joe Biden respects the rule of law. Now,

742
00:45:57,559 --> 00:46:00,920
I'd like to see people start looking into Trump's kids.

743
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:03,119
Why don't you look into the two and a half

744
00:46:03,159 --> 00:46:06,360
billion dollars that Jared Kushner went ahead and god what

745
00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:09,559
the six hundred and forty million that was made by

746
00:46:09,599 --> 00:46:13,679
Ivanka and Jared during their time in the White in

747
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,199
the White House's senior advisors, or some of the things

748
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,920
that Don Junior has done or Eric Trump has done.

749
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,960
Why don't they start looking into these kids too? I mean,

750
00:46:24,039 --> 00:46:26,199
is that what is that really what we're supposed to do?

751
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,719
Or Lara Trump with the way that she's handling the

752
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,960
Republican National Committee, the fact that they're paying people off

753
00:46:34,199 --> 00:46:38,599
like Boris Epstewm, the fucking lapdog that he is. Could

754
00:46:38,639 --> 00:46:43,639
you imagine this? They are all fucking dirty. They're dirty,

755
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,440
and all they know how to do is use They

756
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,400
use them their megaphone, and they have a big megaphone,

757
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,400
use it in order to hurt people like me every

758
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,559
single day. They're angry because I told the truth. They're

759
00:46:58,639 --> 00:47:03,519
angry that their daddy and them of course by proxy,

760
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:08,800
as the scion. They're angry that their company has been

761
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,000
held responsible, that the dad is gonna have to pay

762
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,679
the company is going to have to pay five hundred

763
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,119
million dollars. They're angry that he has to pay plus

764
00:47:19,159 --> 00:47:22,320
this ninety eight million to EG and Carol. They're angry

765
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,920
that he's looking at the repercussions of thirty four out

766
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:30,599
of thirty four criminal convictions. All right, They're angry about it,

767
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,159
and so they need to take it out on somebody.

768
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,599
And they don't want this continuing. There's three more cases

769
00:47:37,639 --> 00:47:41,400
coming down the road. They don't want anybody testifying against

770
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,199
Donald And how do you do that? You show the

771
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,920
pain and the suffering that a witness is going to

772
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:53,039
go through if you go to the other side like

773
00:47:53,199 --> 00:47:57,400
I did. And that's that's called obstruction of justice. It's

774
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,280
called witness tampering. And each and every one of them

775
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:01,840
should be held accountable.

776
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: Cohen, It wasn't so long ago where that trial before

777
00:48:07,199 --> 00:48:10,760
Justice and Goren was held. The civil fraud trial. It

778
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,079
was a bench trial, meaning it was just before Justice

779
00:48:14,119 --> 00:48:17,639
and Goroon, not a jury. And I recall every day

780
00:48:18,119 --> 00:48:21,960
Donald Trump and his lawyers Alina Habba would whine, no,

781
00:48:22,159 --> 00:48:25,840
this wasn't about checking the box. We were deprived of

782
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,159
a jury. And had we had a jury here in

783
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:34,320
the civil fraud trial, this would come out very very different.

784
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,039
We wanted a jury, we were deprived of that right here.

785
00:48:38,679 --> 00:48:43,679
And then in the criminal case they get the jury. Oh,

786
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:48,159
the jury's rigged. It's all rigged. While Donald Trump is

787
00:48:48,199 --> 00:48:51,400
saying at the same time, New York is going to

788
00:48:51,519 --> 00:48:55,199
turn red. Have you seen the crowds outside? There are

789
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:59,440
so many Trump supporters there, but yet the jury's rigged.

790
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,400
But all of your supporters are also outside. And there's

791
00:49:02,519 --> 00:49:06,480
a line that goes and stretches for miles according to you.

792
00:49:06,599 --> 00:49:08,960
But right, Cohen, wasn't their whole thing? If we just

793
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,480
got a jury would come out differently. Well, you got

794
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,400
a jury. Not only did you get a jury, the

795
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,639
Trump organization got a jury in the other criminal case,

796
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:22,199
and that jury found Donald Trump's organization, the Trump organization

797
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:25,280
guilty of tax for it. You got a jury in

798
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,079
the first Egen Carol case, you got a jury in

799
00:49:28,159 --> 00:49:33,079
the second Eging Carol case jury jury, jury jury, and

800
00:49:33,159 --> 00:49:36,239
you were found liable or guilty in each of the

801
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,760
four recent jury trials. And you were also found civilly

802
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:45,199
liable before justice and goron here. So I think that's

803
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,920
worth mentioning because they're talking points don't even make sense.

804
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,519
And let me show you the most recent one right here.

805
00:49:51,559 --> 00:49:54,559
This is now what Fox is saying. And Fox is

806
00:49:54,599 --> 00:49:57,239
such a plague on our country, as are all this

807
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,599
right with media and frankly lots of corporate media for

808
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:04,239
viewing this propaganda. Now they say the appeals court is rigged.

809
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,360
I mean, just think you're mister and missus Magdonia. You

810
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,079
think you're watching the news, but you're getting North Korea

811
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:16,559
propaganda basically style propaganda beamed into your living room, and

812
00:50:16,599 --> 00:50:20,800
you're just being blatantly lied to to tear, to shreds

813
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,719
our system from an adjudicated sexual assault. This is what

814
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,039
Fox is going with. Now the appeals court is ragged,

815
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,559
so the same way the jury was, the judge was,

816
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,719
now the appeals court is. So don't expect Donald Trump

817
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,000
to win there because they're all democratic operatives as well.

818
00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:38,920
Here's what Fox is saying. Let's play this quick.

819
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 10: Of the twenty one all but one was appointed by

820
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,119
a Democratic New York governor, and a review a federal

821
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,159
estate campaign record show at least fourteen of the tornaent

822
00:50:48,199 --> 00:50:53,599
one justices gave campaign contributions to Democratic politicians, democratic committees,

823
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,639
or clubhouses in the past before they were appointed to

824
00:50:56,679 --> 00:50:59,760
this court, but even while they were serving as judges

825
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:03,400
in lower courts. The newest judge appointed here is Justice

826
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,840
Marsham Michael. She was appointed eight months ago by Governor

827
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,000
Kathy Hochel. In twenty fourteen, Justice Michael ran for a

828
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,840
New York State Assembly seat in the Bronx and the

829
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,880
Democratic primary. She was endorsed in that race by the

830
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000
New York City Public advocate Letitia James, who went on,

831
00:51:18,039 --> 00:51:20,440
of course, to become the New York State Attorney General

832
00:51:20,679 --> 00:51:23,920
who prosecuted Trump in the real estate fraud trial last year.

833
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,280
Here you see Judge Michael and James at the time

834
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,719
ten years ago on the campaign's sump. But Judge Michael

835
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,719
lost that race two months ago. It was Judge Michael

836
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,239
who ruled against Trump when his lawyers tried to stop

837
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,280
Judge Jan Merschawan's trial from starting just days before opening statements.

838
00:51:40,599 --> 00:51:44,039
Another justice here, Ellen Gessmer, gave thousands of dollars of

839
00:51:44,119 --> 00:51:48,519
campaign contributions to Democrats before she took the bench. Federal

840
00:51:48,599 --> 00:51:51,559
Election Commission record so she gave two thousand dollars to

841
00:51:51,639 --> 00:51:55,480
Senator Chuck Schumer's campaign in nineteen ninety eight and to

842
00:51:55,559 --> 00:51:59,880
Hillary Clinton's two thousand New York Senate race seven twenty

843
00:52:00,079 --> 00:52:02,440
five dollars. She gave two hundred and fifty bucks to

844
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,400
Howard Dean's presidential campaign in two thousand and three, and

845
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,159
seventeen hundred dollars to Democratic campaign committees.

846
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 2: I mean, just the seventeen hundred dollars, two thousand dollars,

847
00:52:14,599 --> 00:52:17,400
I mean, come on, that's that's Eric Sean. He's actually

848
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,360
a pretty decent guy. I've known him a long time

849
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,480
at Fox News. Seriously, oh my god, he gave seventeen

850
00:52:24,559 --> 00:52:27,559
hundred and fifteen dollars and ten years ago the two

851
00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:29,960
of them had a cup of coffee together, you know.

852
00:52:30,159 --> 00:52:32,400
And I mean the whole thing is this. It's as

853
00:52:32,559 --> 00:52:36,679
crazy as when you see Donald Trump waving to these

854
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,400
fake crowds. Right, so Ben, here watch, I'm gonna do

855
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:51,519
it too, right, I mean, how ridiculous is this? How

856
00:52:51,679 --> 00:52:52,800
can I show that video?

857
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: We've got that.

858
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:54,760
Speaker 2: Let me show you.

859
00:52:54,679 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, Donald Trump leaving Trump Cower filming a

860
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,079
propaganda video, but the cameras were on the wrong side,

861
00:53:02,519 --> 00:53:06,119
so you can see that he's waving to nobody while

862
00:53:06,159 --> 00:53:08,840
they're making this video. Here, let's let's play this video.

863
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: I thank you all, Thank you all. I truly appreciate

864
00:53:29,039 --> 00:53:32,559
everybody coming here. I mean to watch me live in

865
00:53:32,639 --> 00:53:36,320
my in my home as I'm here on political beatdown

866
00:53:36,559 --> 00:53:39,400
with my buddy Ben my cells. Thank you all so

867
00:53:39,639 --> 00:53:45,159
very very much. I know, I know, thank you, thank you, No,

868
00:53:45,599 --> 00:53:49,480
thank you, Ben. I mean, this guy is so full

869
00:53:49,519 --> 00:53:51,079
of shit. It's like, you know, and then did you

870
00:53:51,119 --> 00:53:53,440
see it with the press conference? Half those people I

871
00:53:53,559 --> 00:53:56,880
recognize them they work in, they work in the building.

872
00:53:57,159 --> 00:54:00,199
I mean, it's it is truly amazing the fact that

873
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,199
he literally believes that everybody is stupid, that he could

874
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,159
pull the wall over everybody's eyes, you know, day in

875
00:54:07,199 --> 00:54:09,960
and day out. But you know, look, now that I'm back,

876
00:54:11,199 --> 00:54:13,679
certainly not going to forget about the two fingers salute.

877
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,320
That's going to go to the people who are doxing

878
00:54:16,639 --> 00:54:20,280
me and my family. Fuck you all when I find

879
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:23,400
out who you are, all right, And we will ultimately

880
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,320
find out who you are some way or another. The

881
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,280
FBI is on it, police are watching, I'll try, I'll

882
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,079
put private people on it. I will figure out who

883
00:54:33,119 --> 00:54:36,480
you are, and I will one hundred percent, to the

884
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,760
fullest extent of the law. We will come after you

885
00:54:41,039 --> 00:54:45,039
with everything that we got, plain and simple. I have

886
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,400
absolutely had enough of the attacks on myself, the attacks

887
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:54,079
on my family. That's exactly what they are. They are cowards, cowards.

888
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,880
This has got to be the stupidest thing in the world.

889
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,159
This isn't like when you're a kid and you make

890
00:54:59,199 --> 00:55:02,639
a phone phone Mom, Mom, I need you help, Mom?

891
00:55:02,679 --> 00:55:05,400
Oh my god, who is this mom? Right? I mean,

892
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:09,719
this isn't funny. They're sending police to people's homes. That's

893
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,599
called swatting. They're calling in the middle of the night.

894
00:55:13,679 --> 00:55:17,159
They're texting the most vile things you know, to me,

895
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,800
to my wife, to my children. Seriously, seriously, this is

896
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,199
what we've become because of political discourse. You don't like

897
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:29,239
the fact that your guy is being held accountable for

898
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,360
the first time. I should say the first because Egene

899
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,280
and the New York Ag he's being held accountable for

900
00:55:36,679 --> 00:55:41,360
a crime. I should now have all my personal information

901
00:55:41,559 --> 00:55:45,559
put out onto the dark web. Come on, fuck you.

902
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: I remember Donald Trump saying that if only he was

903
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,280
not at the criminal trial, he would be campaigning. But

904
00:55:54,119 --> 00:55:58,920
Friday golf, Saturday golf, Sunday he golf, Monday he golfed,

905
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,679
and he's out again. I mean, look, his whole golfing

906
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,840
thing is very weird. I mean, that's a lot of

907
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,599
time to be I get that golfing's, you know, fun,

908
00:56:07,639 --> 00:56:10,440
and I get people can have hobbies, but like, there's

909
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,280
something pathological about the sheer amount of times the guy

910
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:19,079
is actually playing golfing every single minute of every single day.

911
00:56:19,119 --> 00:56:22,360
But there was Cohen's two fingers salute, Michael Cohen. We

912
