The speaker expresses outrage over Michael Cohen's complete reversal to supporting Donald Trump, calling him a grifter who betrayed those who trusted him. Cohen, who once testified against Trump and went to prison, has spent eight months distancing himself from that testimony, claiming coercion, and recently hosted Trump on his radio show, where they laughed together and discussed being "weaponized." The speaker criticizes Cohen's CNN interview with Jake Tapper, where Cohen refused to reaffirm his past labels of Trump as a racist, con man, and cheat, and downplayed his prison time. The speaker also condemns the journalistic practice of phone interviews, which hides body language. In the Trump interview, Trump boasted about "wiping out" Iran militarily, and Cohen echoed Trump's line about preventing nuclear weapons, which the speaker sees as towing the White House's narrative. Critics like Mary Trump and George Conway weigh in, with Conway suggesting Cohen is a narcissist seeking Trump's approval, possibly for a pardon. The speaker is disgusted by Cohen's actions, believes he is untrustworthy to all sides, and doubts Trump will pardon him. The speaker feels personally betrayed, as many had welcomed Cohen into the anti-Trump fold, and urges viewers to unsubscribe from Cohen's channel to signal that such grifting won't succeed.
All right. We've talked about this before. I don't know why we are one of the few liberal YouTube channels talking about this, but we're going to keep talking about it because I am beside myself that Michael Cohen, who really like grifted so many innocent people, so many people who are willing to trust him, has now completely converted back to MAGA.
Now, if you don't know, this has been kind of a, I will say like an eight month evolution where the Midas Touch brothers let him go because he said about eight months ago that he felt like he was coerced by Tish James to speak out about Donald Trump.
And now it's culminated with Donald Trump going on Michael Cohen's radio show. Yes, Michael Cohen had Donald Trump on his radio show, not to not to intimidate.
Interrogate him, but to interview him to laugh together real quick while you're here. Like the video. Subscribe. Check to see if you subscribe because not everyone subscribe. And we are live streaming this Tuesday at 7 p.m. Eastern. Come check it out.
Thankfully, folks have woken up on this. Now, in case you don't know, you might very well still be subscribed to Michael Cohen. We've talked about this about seven months ago, and this mother after lost about 30,000 subscribers after that. Could we get him down to 470,000 subscribers?
I don't know.
I don't know. Maybe you follow him and you don't realize it. But people are realizing that something's shifted. So he does still have his YouTube channel. He has an update in about three weeks. But in this even in this YouTube channel, Michael Cohen is towing the Trump line of saying we just don't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon. And that's going to be bad for your kids and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's literally like as if it came from the White House and the comments are not good, saying he's looking to get his lawyer license back. So he needs a pardon.
Once corrupt, always corrupt, spineless, willing to sell your soul for a pardon. Disgusting. Someone else right here. He got sucked back into Trump vortex today with an interview with the manipulator. We're going to get to that interview in just a moment. But Michael Cohen was on CNN defending himself with Jake Tapper. Now, I have a question for journalists, especially. Why are you interviewing someone on the phone? There's so much you cannot see when it's just the voice.
It is so important.
It is so important that people have to fully show that I don't understand why we've gotten into this like method of interviewing people like Trump, for instance, by phone. It lets them get away with a lot. You can really tell a lot by some. You can really tell a lot how someone responds to a question, not just in what they say, how they say facial expressions. It's important to see it all. So I think this is a really lap. This is like a lapse in journalism that this was allowed to happen just by voice. But that's all we have. And here we have Jake Tapper pointing out that.
And here we have Jake Tapper pointing out that Michael Cohen went to prison. Donald Trump did not get back to the president. Let's shift it back to the president. I'm saying I don't want to get into that. So but the president told you to do things. You did them. And then you went to prison. And he he's had no consequences.
OK, that doesn't bother you.
Chapter not to be the defining moment or the worst chapter of my life. And quite frankly, I feel very good right now. I believe that, you know, it is harder to forgive than it is to throw rocks.
It is tough to forgive people 100 percent, especially if they tell you to commit crimes, you commit them, you go to prison while they're in charge of the country. I mean, that would be really tough for me to forgive.
It is certainly unusual, isn't it?
Right. It's one that's going to go down in history like Jackson and Burr.
Yeah. And CNN Jake Tapper also pointed out Michael Cohen called Trump racist, a con man and a cheat.
But do you still think President Trump is a racist and a con man and a cheat?
You know, again, right. But what you're doing is you're trying to go back in time. And I refuse to do that. I will not do that.
Well, bitch, we will. We're going to go back in time. Actually, we got a clip right here of you pointing.
Now that Donald Trump was trying to not shit his pants. This was not more than two years ago.
He's going like Donald Von shits and pants. That's what he was doing. He was trying to figure out a way how he can sort of squeeze that sucker out.
Right. And it's like, you know, when you see like a baby when they're constipated, that's what Donald's doing. Can we play that again? And I'll show you.
The exact moment he lets it go.
Yeah. Here is Michael Cohen with Donald Trump, a reunion that I literally never thought would happen.
I want to go back to 2016 if we can, because you and I have obviously traveled a pretty rocky road together.
You remember? Do you remember, sir, when I went on CNN with Brianna Keillor and she told me that you were underwater in the polls and I responded?
With those famous two words says who, which became some worldwide meme and advocate.
And then they weaponized you like nobody's ever been weaponized, like few have been.
Maybe just you and I, sir.
Yeah, me too. But I don't consider mine. You know, mine was mine was at a level that nobody's ever seen before.
But they weaponized you. They weaponized a lot of people. And I respect the fact that you recanted everything you said.
And that's a big that's a big thing.
That you did really interesting there. Michael Cohen's trying to buddy buddy with Trump.
Notice how he's also calling him, sir. Like, truly, go fuck yourself, Michael Cohen.
Go fuck yourself, preferably with something sharp and rusty.
I cannot believe that this is happening. I cannot believe it.
What a piece of shit. Seriously, seriously. How many chances can someone get?
I actually thought, you know, listen, I don't know this man at all.
I'd never been on his channel. He's never been on.
Mine. Maybe there's a reason for that.
But I will say this. A lot of good people trusted this guy, probably supported him either through encouragement or perhaps even with money.
And here he is doing what these people do.
He is just trying to get good, get his while the getting's good.
And I am just like, I am just completely, completely offended by this.
Now, Michael Cohen tried playing.
Playing reporter and Trump in this interview says that they wiped out Iran.
We've been very effective. We wiped them out, militarily wiped out.
Now they have some missiles. They have some drones.
Their capacity to build them is very low right now compared to what it was five months ago.
It was five months ago. They were knocking them out.
Now they it's very hard for them to knock out anything.
They're in bad shape. They have inflation that's 300 percent there.
Uh, their currency is valueless, you know, it's virtually values.
Their military is not being paid, so they're in bad shape.
But, uh, the key that the reason I did it and we had no choice and I would have done it again a hundred times and they cannot have a nuclear weapon and they won't be having a nuclear weapon.
And why not just then turn around and tell the American people, you know, the one thing that you may, you may feel some frustration going on right now, economically, the price of gas and so on.
But why not just turn around and say to the American people?
The American people, you know what you get to do, you get to go to sleep at night with knowledge that there will be no intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile being fired towards the United States, because if they had it with their theocracy, sir, you know exactly what they would be doing right now.
So I do tell that the press doesn't get it out and I say it often.
I said it the other day at a big rally I had with the police out on Long Island and we have these.
I mean, this is also just so short sighted because Trump's not going to be around forever.
I mean, he's not a young guy.
Certainly he's not going to be in power forever.
So who I guess Trump's using him as he can to try to maybe get his criminal record expunged to use Michael Cohen to say that he felt coerced and that his testimony is not is worthless.
But Michael Cohen.
And this is all like, no one's going to trust you.
No one's going to trust you.
Mag is not going to trust you.
We're certainly not going to trust you.
I will make sure that everyone knows that you are not trustworthy.
So I don't I just it's just so stupid.
It's so stupid.
But then again, that's kind of how these people are.
They're just grifters.
They don't really think more than what's in front of them.
And they just try to get what they can while they can.
I guess so far it's worked well for them.
But perhaps we can make a change and say, like, it's not going to work.
This time, Mary Trump wrote this saying Michael Cohen is a thug and a convicted criminal who willingly did Donald's bidding.
The idea that he was ever on the right side of things is and always has been ludicrous.
Here's what George Conway had to say.
I think he you know, I feel sorry for Michael.
Right.
I mean, I don't I mean, they're both narcissists.
He and Trump and Trump is a malignant narcissist and somebody who had absolutely no conscience, no ability to apologize.
His tower said no, no remorse.
Michael isn't isn't that way.
He.
He's just more kind of he's more harmless than than Trump is and he's just trying to play Trump.
right now i mean he's trying to play everybody he wants to be loved michael needs he was pretty
aggressive as trump's attorney as i recall yeah but he he also he also feels you know we see today
he feels that he's i mean i'll give you an example um i had a lot of he called me a lot and i talked
to him a lot in january of this year right when we were seeing the headlines about um him saying
he was coerced by the da's office and and i was kind of scratching my head about that but at the
same time he's calling me up saying i'm glad you're running for congress i was running for
congress as a democrat in manhattan on the on the on the on the platform that donald trump should be
immediately impeached and removed from office and he's like saying i'm really glad you're doing it
i wanted to do it myself i'm glad you're going out there and doing this and i'm like i think he's
trying to reconcile with donald trump this isn't a really good way to do it i couldn't make any
sense of it at the time and i still can't make any sense of it here other than he's trying to get you
everybody's good graces and particularly trump because trump at this point could do the most for
well when it comes to a pardon michael cohen has said the following he isn't sure if he will push
for clemency from the president he said we'll see he said will i make that request down the road i
don't know maybe maybe not do you think donald trump's gonna pardon michael cohen i don't think
so at all i don't think so at all but you know who knows i just have i mean i know i'm supposed
to talk for a living but it's i'm just at a loss for words this whole thing is just so so infuriating
and i don't know why it makes me so mad because i've never met him and i've never helped him he's
never helped but i guess i guess i just seem like i do think it requires a level of like trust to
welcome people into the fold and i do think that so many people really did welcome him in he became
such a well-known name so many people thought that he was on the right side of things and it was just
all you know i just think maybe i just feel just a little lied to too and i hate being lied to i hate
being lied to so much anyways uh that's all i got like subscribe unsubscribe from michael cohen
and i'll see you soon bye
