Speaker 1: Welcome to Political Beatdown. I'm Benmcellas joined by Michael Cohen.
We're both in a little bit of a mood, so folks,
things might get a little spicy on this show.
Speaker 2: Today. We're first going to talk about a stressed out
and haggard looking Donald Trump making videos of himself begging
for money, so as he says he could fight the
communists and the fascists and lunatic prosecutors and please just
give me money. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's lawyer Alena Habba, or
as the Daily Mail refers to at the Glamorous Alena Habba,
celebrated her fortieth birthday in Saint Bark's and as part
of this birthday, she gave everybody unique door gift bag.
She stayed at a five star resort and villas and
we'll show you all of that. And they've been posting
videos celebrating with the champagne bottles and missus Macedonia. You
done well. I mean, she's out there partying as she
just lost a four hundred and sixty four million dollar
judgment in the New York Attorney Generaval fraud case and
eighty three point three million dollar judgment in the eg
and Carol Case will break it down. Also, you've got
President Biden just hammering Donald Trump in ad after ad
mocking Donald Trump for just sitting at mar A Lago
and doing nothing. As President Biden is crisscrossing the nation
going to all swing states and talking about actual issues,
and as Donald Trump is there sitting in mar A Lago,
He's now attacking, uh, the Justice Juan Mershon's daughter by
attacking a fake X account that actually doesn't belong to
Justice Juan Marshan's daughter, exactly like Donald Trump did with
Justice in Goren, where they kind of made up a
fake account for Justice In Goran's wife and then said
in Goran's wife was posting photos about Trump, which was
not the case. And here the court administrator PR person
had to once again say that that account does not
belong to Justice Mershon's daughter. But again here you go again,
Michael Cohen attacking the wives, the daughters, the family members.
Oh how are you doing, sir?
Speaker 3: You know, I'm trying to I'm trying to keep it
all together, you know it. It never stops with this
group of animals. So you may have seen, you know
the other day that Judge Murshan, They they fire. You know,
he passed that gag order, that partial gag order, and
my curiosity is what's going to happen if and when?
And we know it's not a matter of if, but when? Uh?
And can we already make the statement that the attacks
on Judge Mershon's daughter is already a violation of that
gag order? But wait, there'll be more right, I feel
like an infomercial. I'm curious as to what Mershon will
ultimately do because we've seen other judges, including in Goroon
and look, I have absolute total respect for them and
the system. But so far, a lot of people turn
around and say, you know, one more time, just one
more time, and then he's like, yeah, all right, and
your daughter is the next So this one is that?
Or he starts going after witnesses or you know, it's
I'm dying to see what will ultimately happen and how
far Mershon will actually hold this guy to the gag order.
And I bring this up, Ben simply because and Brigaders,
you may have seen that an article was written yesterday
and put out there. It blew my mind when friends
started sending it to me, and here's the latest. There
you go whistleblower Avenatti alleged that Stormy and I had
the affair, that it wasn't Donald, it was I, and
that since two thousand and six, and that the two
of us created this pre twenty sixteen Trump extortion plan.
And it's a guy that worked with Avenati named Tony Seruga.
I have no idea what this guy does. All I
know is that he was associated to Avenatti. But this
guy puts out there the story. Oh, ann you know
runs with this, with this story, it's really an amazing
it's amazing to think that anybody could possibly, as I said,
if you believe this story, I have not one, but
two bridges is to sell you here in New York.
All right, let me tell you why this thing is
so stupid, other than the fact it's absolutely asinine, and
they I cannot tell you how right wing media has
been running with this as if oh fuck it, bombshell,
bombshell news explosion. Right, Cohen and Stormy have been planning
this extortion on Trump since twenty sixteen. First of all,
where that's insane is that when Trump first met Stormy
in two thousand and five, something like that at the
Utah Golf outing, I wasn't even working for Trump. I
didn't even know anything about this. I didn't learn about
this until twenty eleven, right, I mean, that's the craziest.
I should sue. I should sue for defamation. But putting
all of that aside, imagine this. There, I am, executive
vice president of the Trump organ Is and special counsel
to Donald making all of these allegations that Trump is
worth ten billion, twelve billion, whatever the amount of money is.
And I'm going to extort a president a presidential candidate,
or at the time when they're saying that I was
extorting him was around right before the election. I'm going
to extort this uber megabillionaire for one hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. I mean, just think about how stupid that
that is. And I was saying last night because guys
like Jonathan Turley, who's another asshole, you know, they all
sit there, they all want to jump in and they
want to give everybody wants to give their opinions. This
is hands down the stupidest And I actually hope that
it's a defense that they try to use at the
upcoming trial, because all I can tell you is, you
know that I do have a pretty decent sense of humor.
I got a ton of things that I would like
to say to a jury sitting in that jury box
regarding this nonsensical conspiracy theory. I mean, by the way,
assuming right that my affairs would store me Daniels, Well,
did I also have the affair with Karen McDougall? Was
I also with Billy Bush sitting in the bus talking
about grabbing women by their pussy? Was I the one
that e G. And Carol pointed out and said he
sexually assaulted me at a department store? How stupid can
these people be? Let me tell you, though, Ben and
Brigadeer's what it tells me. And I know, I know
the Mandarin Mussolini right, the orange Jesus, he's scared. And
this is what Donald and his sick of fan followers
do when they're desperate and afraid, you know.
Speaker 2: And when we talk about Alina Haba in a bit,
you know, this lavish party that she threw in Saint
Bart's for her, she may also be viewing it as
her last dance as part of this bigger and broader grift.
Let's go out on a bang right here with all
of the money that she's made. And we'll talk about
that more in a bit, but when you talk about
Michael Cohen, these unhinged conspiracies, our editor in chief Ron
Philipkowski at mightas touched dot com, he just kind of
posted the following listing some of the recent unhided conspiracies
that have a life of their own now on Elon
Musk's social media platform and right wing media without any
retractions at all. This is the modern day Maga Republican Party.
There's a car crash near the Canadian border. It's migrant terrorist,
a migrant invasion. It was actually a guy coming back
from a casino. The Buffalo mass shooting they claim is
a false flag, the bridge disaster, what do they say?
It's a terrorist attack. The super Bowl parade shooting, It's
a migrant terrorist. It's an American. The Gonzaga Hoops team
bus was traveling the Maga Republicans go migrant invasion. This
is the level and depth of the disinformation and lies
that are pumped out, and basically they create right wing
media and the modern day Republican Party a completely alternate
reality where these magas live and exist in this reality,
and ultimately the final push here though, for this fear
or the terror, you always got to follow the money,
follow the money, because with all of this fear, they
push you to give us the money. We're gonna protect you.
We're gonna protect you. So was Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: And we are literally literally two weeks away from the
start of the very first criminal trial ever against a
former president of the United States, and out of nowhere, nowhere,
this horseshit comes in. Now. I happen to be very
fortunate in that I'm going on thirty years of marriage,
all right, and you know, when Matt Gates tried to
do this to me right before my testimony of the
House Oversight Committee hearing, it didn't jog us, didn't jog
my wife at all. However, I will tell you what
it does.
Speaker 2: Your wife would be, I know, your wife would be like,
good luck with that Cohen.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, and I mean you know it
did not you know, it didn't phase her when I
showed it to her. But I will tell you that
we probably got, you know, a couple of dozen phone
calls from people. Whereas this coming from whistle blower and
the fact that they use the word whistle blower right
the fact that they use, that they do that because
that's supposed to be the buzzword, the buzzword or legitimacy.
That this isn't coming from some unnamed source. This is
coming from a whistle blower. Could you imagine this? And
the article goes on and it goes into all of
these conversations about Avanadi telling this guy Saruga and that
you know that they kept it to themselves, and then
you know it's the article in and of itself is discombobulating,
but it's designed in order to try to demonstrate some
level of legitimacy to it. And the worst part is
that media outlets from you know, other you know, other
media outlets, they start calling and sending me text messages, Hey,
do you have a response to the article put out
by o Ann regarding your affair? Would storm me? Daniels.
And again, the only thing that I can say, if
you believe any aspect of that story, I have two
bridges in New York to sell you. Michael it reeks
of Trump desperation.
Speaker 2: Speaking of wreaking of Trump desperation. We previously reported about
Donald Trump now endorsing and selling official Trump endorsed bibles
for fifty nine dollars and ninety nine cents, and the
pages may indeed be very sticky, so you got to
watch out for those sticky pages. That's on the Frequently
Asked Questions part as well as no refunds. But the
day after Donald Trump made this video, here's a stressed
out and haggard looking Donald Trump pleading with people is
Macedonians to send him as much money as they can
so he can fight the communists, fascist and lunatic prosecutors.
Speaker 4: Play this clip, but the Soro's packed, prosecutors and politicians, democrats,
all that are after us.
Speaker 3: We have to go out. We have to fight their communists.
Speaker 4: They're fascists, they're lunatics, and they just don't stop. They
don't know how to give up. And you got to
hand it to them for that. But that's the only
thing you got to give them credit for. They're bad people.
They're against our country. They don't want our country to
make it. There's something wrong with them. But we're fighting,
we're winning. You see what's going on. So whatever you
can do to help financially would be fantastic because we
have to beat it. If it's five dollars or ten
dollars or one hundred dollars, whatever you can.
Speaker 3: Do, Colin.
Speaker 2: Remember Billy Madison and that scene in the bathtub where
he goes, I'm shampoo.
Speaker 3: No, I'm conditioner.
Speaker 2: Stop looking at me, swan like Donald Trump's basically making
videos like conditioner, No, I'm shampoo.
Speaker 3: I make your head. Simultaneously, he's telling you how rich
he is, that he doesn't need any money. Yeah, I mean,
he doesn't need any money. But then three seconds later,
look at all the shit that he's hacking. Right, it's
not just bibles. He's at the hocking NFTs. He's out
there anything that he gets, sneakers, you know, and not
just the ugly gold pair, but the red ones and
the white ones. I mean, there's nothing that this guy
won't slap his name onto if there's a buck in
it for him. And remember I liked how he talks about, Oh,
you know, my good buddy, what's the name League Greenwald
or whatever. The guy's name is Greenwood, Yeah, and so on.
This is a guy. By the way, there's I don't
know if you've ever seen her, and she's fantastic. There's
a girl Stella I think on TikTok or whatever. It is.
But she did this whole thing about Trump holding the Bible,
and then she opened it and she decided to read
some passages. Could you imagine between Greenwood and Trump, right,
what could be more Christian than the fact that the
two of them together have seven wives? Fidelity? And then
she goes on and she starts talking about the seven sins.
Each one of the sins lying, cheating, stealing, et cetera, infidelity,
Every single one of these is something that is regularly
done by von shitzen Pants and Greenwood and the rest
of these maggots.
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned Lee Greenwood. Look Midas. Touch dot com
did an investigative piece on our website. Is touch dot com.
I did a video this morning on our YouTube channel
that many of you may have seen. You know, the
Bibles that Donald Trump is selling with Lee Greenwood. They've
actually been around for about two years and they've received
a lot of customer complaints for not shipping on time,
months and months passing, the bibles not being in like
good shape. And so we took a deep dive into
this and looked at it like, look, Donald Trump, whether
we like it or not, and it not for me
is a former president of the United States. So who
are you doing deals with? That's important, right if you
think about giving somebody things like the nuclear codes and
command over troops. So who are you doing business with?
To me, that should be biparts. That shouldn't matter if
you're a Democrat or Republican. Who do you surround yourself with?
And when you're not in office, who are the types
of people that you go That's the person I want
to do a deal with. So Lee Greenwood was making
of himself regarding these bibles. This is the company Trump
partnered with where he was quite literally selling these bibles
back in December of twenty twenty three, not a long
time ago, from the back of his truck, and he
was trying to show people, look, we're getting you. I
know your orders are here. We're gonna make sure we
fulfill your orders. And it's Greenwood himself folding the things
and putting the bibles together himself that Trump is now selling.
Here play this first clip of Greenwood. Hi, this is
Bee Bringwood.
Speaker 5: And as you see, we're doing our very best to
sign all these bibles that have been a requested and
get him out to before Christmas. God bless you all
have a very merry Christmas and a happy holiday.
Speaker 2: Okay, and here's another one of that.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 2: Play this clip of him putting in his trunk. Play
this clip.
Speaker 5: Well, it's twelve thirty in the morning, and these are
going to the post office right now shipping our bibles
to you.
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. Well, here's the photo. Here's the photo of
Donald Trump saying, order today the God bless the USA
Bibles for fifty nine ninety nine. There it is. And
then we have a bunch of one star customer reviews
that say if we could give zero stars, we would.
But but Michael Cohen, again, that's why I always say, look,
I don't view this network actually as being like, Okay,
you guys are democratic, you're a liberal, You're I go, look,
I go, look, I'm normalcy. I'm team pro democracy. That's
what I am. Okay, what I'm looking at there not normal.
Very weird, should be absolutely disqualifying, and every media network
should be playing what we just played right there. Michael Cohen,

Everyone was waiting on bated breath for Michael Cohen's reaction.
They also got two great adreads right there. Thank you
to our pro democracy sponsors. The discount codes are in
the description below that helps fund the show. So thank
you to them. Some great products right there, Cohen. Let
me show you Donald Trump trying to sell these bibles. First,
let's play that clip.
Speaker 3: If we got it.
Speaker 6: If we're proud to be partnering with my very good
friend Lee Greenwood, who doesn't love his song God Bless
the USA. In connection with promoting the God Bless the
USA Bible, what can we do? Stand up, speak out
and pray that God will bless America again. I'm proud
to endorse and encourage you to get this bible. We
must make America pray again. And I think you all
should get a copy of God Bless the USA Bible
now and help spread our Christian values with others.
Speaker 3: There you have it, that's the Bible.
Speaker 2: And then Cohen. This was from this past December. This
is Lee Greenwood packing up these bibles like he's the
person who works at his company doing this. Let's play
that clip.
Speaker 5: Hi, this is Beet Brenguin And as you see, we're
doing our very best to sign all these bibles that
have been requested and get him out to the before Christmas.
God bless you all have a very merry Christmas and
a happy holiday.
Speaker 2: The stage is yours, mister Cohen.
Speaker 3: First of all, Lee looks like he's in his mom's basement.
But that's a whole nother story there. It reminds me
so much of what's the movie The Wedding Crashes, Like Mom,
more meat loaf, Mom. You know, he's yelling down upstairs
to Mom, you know, while he's sitting there packing up
these Cocta Bibles that he made. But here's where I
have a real issue. On top of everything. Listen, Trump
would trump. There's nothing that Trump won't hawk right in
order to make a buck. But the funniest thing, and
nobody's really talking about it, some of the things that
are included in.
Speaker 7: This this this King James, USA Bible Constitution, the Declaration
of Independence.
Speaker 3: You have uh, what else did they have in there?
They also had, uh, I think they had.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I'm not sure if it's the
actual anthem or if it's the j sixth anthem which
Donald Trump made.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not I'm not sure which one either. But
but somewhere along the line, they're forgetting that there is
a fundamental separation of church and state, and people aren't
really talking about it. It's almost like, you know, it's
adding two mixtures together that should never be mixed together.
You're not supposed to. You know, the Bible stands on
its own. Of course, of course it stands on its own.
It's Donald's favorite book, right that, and of course mine come.
But that's not the point. The point is when you
start taking religion and you couple it with the Constitution
and documents regarding our democracy and freedom and America and
so on, now you are mixing church and state, and
that is a fundamental no no, literally, going back to
the very very very early days of our founding fathers.
That's where there, without the separation of church and state,
you ultimately end up with something that looks exactly like
that Netflix show Gilead. It's where all of a sudden.
Now democracy, the constitution laws are all predicated on theocratic principles,
and that's not what American democracy is supposed to look like.
Speaker 2: I'll make the one comment and give a disclaimer that
we don't know for sure. Michael Cohen doesn't know for
sure if Mind Kemp is actually Donald Trump's favorite book,
but we certainly do know he makes a lot of
quotes that certainly resemble statements that were made by Hitler.
Speaker 3: All I was doing, all I was doing is repeating
what allegedly Ivana has talked about in the past.
Speaker 2: But we have a whole list at the mightas Touched
where we show those comparisons, and a lot of them
look very very similar to the types of statements, the
use of terms like vermin and things like that that
that Hitler would say, you know, just speaking of all
of this insanity, though, I want to pivot, if we
won't even want to call it a pivot, to Alena
Habbas celebrating right now and basically mocking mister and missus Magadonia.
Haba's gotten paid. We know that because we've seen her
disclosures or Trump's financial disclosures for the political Action committees
in November of twenty twenty three, it was at least
three point five million dollars. And I would estimate right
now again because that was before a lot of these
other cases and trials, I would imagine that that number.
I don't know this, but my estimate is probably that's
closer to about five million dollars. Now. Now, Alina Habbo
was not a talented lawyer before she did like what
like traffic ticket stuff and low level stuff and you
know things and parking garages and things like that. You know,
but but you know, she gets paid basically through Trump,
not basically through Trump's political action committees. The Save America
pack is the one that pays her. There, and that's
mister and missus Macedonia. The Trump donors give Trump the
money Trump pays her. And now she's celebrating a very
lavish vacation in Saint Bart's. The Daily Mail took some
of the photographs that she and her friends posted. That's
her friend right there named Siggi Flicker on the left,
who posts a lot of these photos. That's how we
get it, because Siggy, that's her friend right there with
the Chanelle bag. She's the one kind of posting and
bragging about the wealth that they have, and we see
things like this. Siggy uploaded a picture that showed the
gifts laid out on the table next to a series
of d Or gift bags that were filled with more goodies.
He saw the Chanel bag. Then we see that the
group stayed at a private villa.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, can we can we halt that right there?
Do you do you notice that the very first terry
cloth Powell there, Michael, the rope has my initials on it.
Do you think that Habba the Horrible actually got me
a rope?
Speaker 2: It looks like Alena Habba got Michael Conor. Let's pull
that back up. Well, here's what it's being described as.
Speaker 3: You know so many I've said so many mean things
about her being talentless as a lawyer and having no
idea what she's talking about, failing to check off a
box that would have, you know, given Trump the opportunity
to have a jury instead of a bench trial. You know,
maybe I should take some of it. No, I won't
take it back. I don't need The robe is a
very nice looking robe.
Speaker 2: It is a potential Christmas present that I will get
you one that looks just like this or a Haneka
president for you there. Very nice of her, but she
provided all of the attendees with the headwear as well
as personalized robes to wear on the trip. Let me
just share you this clip as well. This is how
Trump donor money is being put to good use in saying,
Bart's at Alina's birthday party. And this is video that
like you know, this isn't like we have a private investigator.
They are taking this video like they're posting this video here.
Play this clip, Cohen. That lunch right there probably cost
more than what most Trump supporters make in an entire year.
And that lunch right there is being funded by social
Security checks and by you know what could be rent money,
you know, from mister and missus Macedonia, from their supporters.
That's going to basically Alena Habba. Alena Habba makes the
money and that's what she's doing with it. Alena Habba,
who also says this about whether she'd rather be smart,
whether it's rather be intelligent or attractive. Play the clip.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you something. Somebody said to me, Elena, would
you rather be Would you rather be smart or pretty?
And I said, oh easy, pretty I can fake being smart.
Speaker 2: And here's Alena Habb at mar A Lago holding what
appears to be a seventy thousand dollars Hermez Croc Birken
bag right there. And again that bag alone, if it's
an authentic one, which you know who knows, but you
know it appears to be by many people who know
these bags. But there are a lot of fake bags
going on. There would be twice probably the salary of
most of what Trump supporters make in a year. And
just think about that that's going on at Marlagele. I've
described it Cohen as the reverse Robinhood. Here they steal
from the poor and give to the rich. What do
you make of.
Speaker 3: It, Well, it's it's one thing if to show you
how stupid she is, If this is the way that
you're going to spend the money that you've gotten for
fucking up the entire every case that she's basically handled
so far for Donald she's just you know, she and
her team, they've just fucked it up. Right now, to
go ahead and to flaunt the fact that you've taken
money from MAGA supporters, from Trump's supporters, and you are
spot on there, Ben, These folks don't have that kind
of money. They're not walking around with seventy thousand dollars
crocodile ermz burkin bags. They're not all right, and then
to flaunt it on top of everything, it's it's really again,
it's grotesque. Now, I don't I have such a hard
time believing that, whether it's Trump because he doesn't pay
any of the bills, or whether it's the RNC that's
flipping some of it, or the Superpack. The super Pack
right now has no money and they're trying to get
money back from another Superpack that they gave that was
supposed to not work with them, but they do work
in tandem. You know, they're so that everything with them
is so schmade rate, it's so corrupt and dirty that
you can't figure it out. And our problem is we
have become numb, truthfully, as a as America Republican Democrat undecided,
we are all numb to the level of stupidity, arrogance,
ignorance that this MAGA group that Trump and the Habbahs
and the Matt Dates, the Josh Hollis, the Lauren hanjob Hobert's,
and the Marjorie Toilet Greens, all of them. We're so
up to our neck. We're up to our neck in
this Trump derangement syndrome that it is absolutely I mean,
nothing shocks us anymore. Nothing. Listen, go to Saint Bart's.
I love Saint Bart's. It's a wonderful place to go
with friends and family, and you have a great time.
But to sit there and to after you're taking the
money from people, you said, and rightfully so these folks
don't have the money to go to Saint Bart's, you
know they, But and then to flaunt it, to flaunt
it right now into people's faces. I mean, now she's
buying Chanel begs for everybody in hats and robes and
stuff all to think about it, no different than Donald
von Schitz and pants to celebrate her. Right, this isn't
about celebrating a massive win, like you know who should
be celebrating right now, Tiss James should be the one
celebrating in Saint Bart's with a bunch of friends buying
them stuff off of just the interest the one day
interest of one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars a day
a day. Yeah, on behalf of New York. I say, Tish,
take a bunch of your friends. Treat them there, take
a private plane, for all I care. You just added
a half a billion dollars to the coffers of the
great state of New York. Instead, hobb is out there
spending other people's money because she certainly didn't do her job,
that's for sure. She's spending the poorest people's money in America.
That is, supporting a guy, a narcissist, so that she
could be a narcissist and she can do what she can.
Celebrate herself. Very humble, by the way, By the way,
very Bible, right, I mean, I'm certain that there's got
to be something there in that King James Bible about,
you know, sort of sticking it right into the ass
of all of your supporters.
Speaker 2: It's very sticky pages, so that page may be stuck
together and it may be hard to remove. I wouldn't
advise Tis James to go take that private jet. I
would still travel through regular business class or a regular
And that's how I was.
Speaker 3: She did she did such a good job. My point being,
she did such a good job in the handling of
that case. I understand celebrating when you accomplish something really
great and co and the accomplished.
Speaker 2: You and I and the Brigaders, though, are not numb
to this, you know, I think legacy media is numb
to this. And part of our mission, together with the Brigaders,
with the Midas Mighty out there, is to really kind
of shake the country and wake them up. Notice and
the stories that you and I have covered so far.
I would love to talk about policy issues. I'd love
to get into the nooks and crannies of healthcare policy,
but look, magas want to take that away. Magas want
to take away your social security. Magas want to take
away your reproductive rights. And you know, we're not having
nuanced based discussions not because you and I don't want
to have them, It's because the Republican Party no longer
stands for any policy. It stands for one man. It
stands for Donald Trump, and their behavior is just very weird,
very dangerous, and it's this wanna be fascism. And so
it is important that we call out the political landscape,
the legacy media who tries to normalize this, that this
is just another normal election between Democrats and Republicans. You
know how I know it's not. There are DESSANTUS supporters
who are Midas Touch supporters. There are Nicky Haley's supporters
who are Midas Touch supporters. There are a huge amount
of independents who are Mightas Touch supporters. And of course
there are progressive and liberals. There are so many people
who disagree vehemently on so many Ish hoos who come
together in this network and say, look, stalemate on that.
Let's deal with democracy right now. Let's deal with normalcy
right now. Alina Haba and this friend of hers, Siggy whatever,
that's weird, that's deranged, that's unhinged. Donald Trump out there
grifting and selling bibles for fifty nine dollars and ninety
nine cents, that's unhinged. That's weird. Donald Trump changing the
national anthem to the j sixth anthem and calling insurrectionist hostages.
That's unfathomable. That's despicable stuff. And so we just need
to reflect and call that out. That that's the stuff
that's not American. And all they have, all Magas and
Fox and right wing media is to try to make
you feel so scared with all of their lives, with
all of their disinformation, that you just won't open up
your eyes, and rather you'll feel that you're part of
this whole victimhood with Donald Trump, and everyone's out to
get you, and everyone's trying to destroy you and deep
state this So really, what political beatdown is, what this
network is is a beatdown on disinformation and a wake
up call shaking the country to say.
Speaker 3: We can't be numbed.
Speaker 2: We have to be awake and alert to what is
going on, and we have to protect and preserve our
democracy when we get back. I want to show Donald
Trump threatening justice Juan Mrshan's daughter. I also want to
talk about what President Biden is doing as the campaign
is heating up. Let's talk about that and more. Let's
take our last quick break of the show.

Michael Cohen. President Biden is hitting back at Donald Trump
and basically doing what you have to do with want
to be authoritarians, and authoritarians you gotta mock them. You
got to bring them down to size, something that we
do here in the Midas Touch network as well.
Speaker 3: What do you say and not me? Maybe you? I
never I never mocked von and pants.
Speaker 2: You would, you would never do such a thing. I
think that's actually beneath me. I think that was beneath
our brigaders. I mean I think that was the nickname
that Fred gave him. Anyway, So I don't think that
you even came up with that as all at all.
Here's President here, right, here's President. Here's President Joe Biden saying,
I'll tell you this, there's a difference between two candidates
in this election. Let's play this new ad that came
out by President Biden's good stuff.
Speaker 8: With the President visiting eight swing states in just eighteen days.
Throughout the month, Biden has crisscrossed the country.
Speaker 2: Visiting the southwest of the Blue Wall the South.
Speaker 9: His campaign stops have focused on border security, we productive rights,
and lowering healthcare at house costs, as well as the
celebrating chips and science and acts investments.
Speaker 2: For those just watching on audio, during the music portion
was Donald Trump playing golf and one of Donald Trump's
social media posts where he bragged about winning his own
golf tournament. Michael Cohen, what do you make.
Speaker 3: Of that new app Yeah, not only did he win
the club championship, but he won the senior club championship
as well. And as I said the other day when
we were on, could you imagine him standing in front
of and this is what he does. He stands in
front of the entire crowd there over at Marolardo to
congratulate himself on winning his own tournament and presenting to
him elf a beautiful glass vase that says Club Champion
twenty twenty four, blah blah blah, and he'll get it beside,
I just want to congratulate myself on winning again the
tour winning. You know this, I mean it is it's
truly pathetic if you think about it. First of all,
if by chance you happen to own your own club,
you shouldn't even be playing in it. And if you did,
you shouldn't be winning it year after year after year.
Who is it? Very much like on a miniscule, minuscule level,
it's identical to save Vladimir Putin, who ends up getting
ninety to ninety two percent of all of the vote
because it doesn't matter. You know who you vote for.
All that matters is who's counting the vote. He controls
who puts in what score. So Ben, hypothetically you come
in with a seventy eight right on your on your score,
and that's the lowest score for the eighteen all right,
you played eight underpar whatever. He now knows what that
number is. He puts in a score of seventy seven.
I mean, it's truly, it's remarkable. In fact, if you
go to if you go to a couple of articles,
he claims that he's got like a dozen holes in
one that he should actually be in the Guinness Book
of World's Records because he has beaten out even Tiger Woods,
who only has like half of that. It's you really
have to give the guy a lot of credit for
creating his own universe that exists in his head and
getting others to buy into it.
Speaker 2: He's got the entire Republican Party to buy into it,
the entire right wing media to buy into it. And
that's again where I always say, like, okay, folks, this
isn't normal. Like I refuse to accept a world where
things like this are normalized. This dangerous and it's really
weird and we can't cover our eyes and close our
ears too.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 2: Speaking of which I want to share with you right now,
Michael Cohen and the Brigaders, the anatomy of a conspiracy
and how Donald Trump wields these conspiracies to attack the judiciary,
and specifically, Trump relies on people like Laura Lumer who
basically say that they're journalists and then they go and
report these really wild and frankly defamatory, in my opinion,
kind of conspiracy theories about people. Here's what Laura Lumer
says about Justice Juan Mrshon's daughter. That's the judge who's
presiding over the Manhattan District Attorney criminal case breaking Judge.
Mrshon's daughter, Laura and Mershon just blocked me on X
and locked her account after I exposed her profile picture
that has President Trump. That's what Laura Lumer calls him.
I don't call him that behind bars. Then she goes
and says, don't worry, Lauren, I archived your entire x
account and screenshots are forever you evil. Then it says
B word hashtag lumored, and then it shows this account
And I was thinking to myself Cohen. Where did I
see this before?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes, three months ago from Laura Lumer about Justice Arthur
and Goron with also a Twitter account that was made
up and did not belong to Justice in Goron's wife.
Here's what Laura Lumer said when the other trial took place.
Don't worry. We'll show that one in a second. We'll
pull up Laura Lumers. Now it says, don't worry, b word,
I archived your entire account before you could lock it
or delete it. I have it all hashtag Trump twenty
twenty four. There it is right there. And then Trump
took what Laura Lumer posted, and then he goes on
his social media and to all of his millions of followers.
Wife of New York judge and civil case against Trump,
has been attacking ex president on social media. Well, the
court staff had to come out with a statement and say, no,
this was not Justice in Goran's wife, this was a
made up account. Same thing here, this account at Lauren
m four to six is not the account of Justice
Mershon's daughter. The court pr staff had to come out
with the same statement saying this does not belong to her,
it's a manipulated account. But Trump didn't care. Trump posted
judge Jan Mrshan, who's suffering from Trump Derangement's syndrome, that
his daughter has just posted a picture of me behind
bars her obvious goal and makes it completely impossible for
me to get a fair trial. So it's the same
pattern that we see here over and over again he
relies on. And by the way, Laura Lumer is not
a fringe figure in Trump's world. She should be in
all of our worlds. But this is someone who is
one of the right hand people of Donald Trump. She's
someone who could become and you could be like, oh, Ben,
this is wild. She could become Secretary of State. She
could she could become ambassador of the United Nations. She
could become the Defense secretary, she could become the Treasury secretary.
Here she is right here next to Donald Trump. She's
always by his side. And here Trump basically talks about
in this video he's sitting next to a loomer, and
here he talks about what a great person she is.
Here play this clip.
Speaker 6: Hey, everybody, we're here at Bedminster and with the greatest
president ever, President Donald.
Speaker 2: Trump, who is killing it right now. There's a new
poll out right you're crossing it. You're up over fifty points.
And it's a beautiful day here, beautiful club. It's my
first time here at Bedmnso.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's great to have you.
Speaker 4: And you've been really very special.
Speaker 2: You were hid and you are you are are opinionated, lady.
Speaker 5: I have to take you that and in my opinion,
I like that.
Speaker 3: I and everybody appreciates you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you, thank you so much for inviting me
to say with you tonight, pleasure, good abesss.
Speaker 5: I love you.
Speaker 2: There's another video of her from twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: Years before we go to the next Before we go
to the next video, let me just tell you something,
all right, give you a little inside baseball here. First
of all, the only way to get to Donald's table,
the only way for him to sit there and to
say these nice things about you. Oh, you're opinionated, but
I love it because you are flattering him. That's the
That's what everybody around him will tell you. The only
way to stay in that camp. No different than Hobba
the Horrible, No different than you know then Todd Blanche
or Susan Netley's or you know any of these folks
that you know the what's the other one? Uh, you know,
I don't even remember the names of the of the
lawyers that do it. They all kiss his ass. It's
all saying the same thing. You gotta go on to
say how rich he is, how smart he is, how
he's winning in the polls. You have to call him,
you know, mister president, and so on. It is one
big giant, you know, just it's a stupid fest, and
each and every one of them are playing into his narcissism,
despite the fact that nothing that they are saying one
has any relevance or two has any truth attached to it.
Every time they speak. Every time they speak, all you
need to do is to fact check the information and
you will realize just how badly they are lying. But
he's so happy. He sits there and he shakes his head,
yeah yeah, and so on. He needs the adulation. Twenty
four to seven. That's the absolute epitome of a narcissistic
so seal path.
Speaker 2: Colin, I want to ask you two more questions. Then
you got to give a two finger salute.
Speaker 3: First to Alena Habber. It goes to Alena Habba for
being a fucking asshole and for basically shoving into the
face of Americans who are don't listen. If you donate
your money to a Donald Trump, that's it's your money.
God bless you. You do whatever you want. I think
it's a stupid investment. I think it's an investment to
someone who wants to destroy democracy. But it's your money.
You do with it as you wish. But when you
have somebody who's crying poverty every single day like Donald is,
and hawking these these bibles or NFTs or anything else
that he could stick his name onto for a buck,
and then you're paying somebody who's completely ineffective at their
job for what reason, I have no idea, And then
that person takes the money and sticks it in the
face of every one who gave them the money, right
could you imagine this? For that, you have no choice
but to give that person the two fingers salute. So
everyone join me, Alina, fuck.
Speaker 2: You Lightning round, just like we did exclusively for our
members of patreon dot com slash political Beatdown. By the way,
you and I had so much fun on our last meeting,
so we're gonna do another one on Tuesday. What you
and I should do, though, is let's do it a
little bit. If you're okay with the code, I haven't
run this by yet, maybe we do it a little
bit later in the day on Tuesday for those who
can't make it, then we'll come up with the time
that's mutually agreeable. I know you're super busy, but let's
figure out a time.
Speaker 3: So what am I only I mean, I'm I'm only
just trying to make sure you know that I'm fully
prepared for, you know, the very first criminal trial against
the former president ever in the history, and hopefully you know,
we get the you know that he is convicted and
ultimately demock saved. I don't know, you know that.
Speaker 2: Busy Patreon dot com Patreon dot com slash political beatdown.
Sign up and you'll meet Michael Cohen next Tuesday. We'll
see what we'll see at the time. Patreon dot com
slash political Beatdown. Here's the lightning round John Eastman. It
was recommended by the Colorado by the California State bar
Colorado is Donald Trump's other lawyer, Jenna Ellis, who got
admonished by them. Atlanta is where Jenna Ellis pled guilty California.
Also Atlanta is where John Eastman was indicted California got
to follow the map. Right here, California is where the
state bar court just recommended that John Eastman, Trump's lawyer,
get disbarred, lose his legal license in sixty seconds or less.
Your reaction, Michael Cohen.
Speaker 3: It was justified. It's absolutely justified anybody who tries to
overturn a free and fair election and wants to go
along with it one hundred percent. It's accountability, imagine, and
everybody around Donald myself included, ultimately is held accountable. This
is now the very first time that Donald Trump is afraid.
He's petrified, he's von Schitzing in his pants because he
knows that accountability is around the corner, and he will
be held accountable, no doubt.
Speaker 2: Next, next question. The Appellate Division in New York reduced
the bond from four hundred and sixty four million dollars
to one hundred and seventy five million dollars. Donald Trump
has still not posted the one hundred and seventy five
million dollar bond. You would think that if you had
that cash, why would you wait? You would post it
that day, you would do it. He still hasn't posted yet.
You think he's having trouble coming up with one seventy five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think he is the one seventy five.
But you know, now they're out there, they're you know,
they're hitting the they're hitting the campaign trail. They're speaking
to their big mega donors, the mega billionaires that are
supporting him. And by the way, most of these megabillionaires
that support him, you should hear the shit that they
used to talk about behind his back that the only
reason they support him is because they know that they
could make even more money under a Trump administration, that
the White House, that Washington becomes for sale. And these
guys have no compunction within not to do such a thing.
And it's all about them increasing their net worth the
way they did under the Trump administration by a significant
significant margin.
