      Trump counts every penny. He would never have consented to a $260K payment to Cohen for legal expenses when he could have gotten away with $130K for a disbursement unless he INTENDED for the payment to be RECORDED as a business expense rather than a disbursement. That's the whole case right there.

      I hate to tell you this, but Midas touch is paid propaganda, made legal by the Obama administration. They tell you exactly what emotions to feel about who. Hate anger, outrage… That’s not news. That’s called propaganda for your mind. News gives fax and let you come to your own conclusion.. Both sides of the political aisle are corrupt with insider trading and special interest interest group payouts. Both sides hate one man because he threatens the piggy bank with term limits. Trump. We send hundreds of billions to Iran and Venezuela both who support Hamas , we send billions to Ukraine 10% kickback to the big guy, we send billions to Israel… None of this strikes. She was odd? Military industrial complex makes no money under Trump. He’s against war. people that support Trump don’t always like his ways but simply are trying to stop hyper inflation, the fall of the American dollar for the great reset, trying to stop open borders estimated 9 million people came through by the end of this year, cartels are gaining strength and power, trying to stop world wars… We knew it would happen and here. We . Are.
      The only reason the alphabet agencies allow the politicians to get all these kickbacks because they’re part of the same team. Trump said there needs to be more checks and balances, term limits.
      we’ve known media is corrupt for 20 years. That’s why we all switched for online, now that’s also co-opted. It’s known that alphabet agencies set the agenda in the media with meetings a couple times a week.( Twitter file and testimonies project mockingbird.) your manipulated by them telling you exactly who to hate for the last six years they use the emotions of hate, outrage, and anger because they’re the emotions most used to move a population mindset because most people are casuals and never will actually look into anything. Don’t be a sheep. It’s good versus evil.

      10 minutes listening to contradicting “reporting” is the waste of time.
      In my experience, going directly to the source is the only way to make informed decisions about a subject that interests you.
      Listening strictly to opinionated summaries (like Ari has given us today) is how we got “stop the steal” and the J6 insurrection.
      It is time every bit as well spent (for some) as spending that time - say - writing and/or recording a song.
      I have spent many hours reading full transcripts, reports or congressional bills in order to make an informed decision and be able to express my reasoning.
      This is historical in that it is the first time in American history that a firmer POTUS is being tried in a criminal court. It’s important and fascinating….and admittedly sad that we have fallen so far.

      It's true the facts are wrong but the points are correct. He told Ben he wasn't going to talk about the case on Political beatdown but I heard him discuss Trump with someone else on Mea Culpa. And now he did that on Tic Toc. After the trial this would have been a moot point.

      YUP. That is correct !!!. It's lazy to say that t-shirt is Cohen's, as it is NOT. I watch MTN. I remember the day the Meiselas brothers debuted that shirt on their online store site about 2.6 years ago or more. It was hilarious!! The only connection Cohen had to that shirt besides laughing his head off was his promotion of the t-shirt when he started MEA CULPA on MTN. That's it. TRUMP for PRISON 2024!!! Cheers from NYC!!

    Michael Cohen doesn’t sell the merch. It’s from the MeidasTouch store! He doesn’t make any money from it.

    That shirt is not the property of Michael Cohen. The merchandise belongs to the Meidas Touch, which is owned by the three Meiselas brothers. Michael Cohen does not own this merchandise. Facts are important.

    Why are you having Trump pundits on to spread falsehoods? Why don’t you have someone that can push back and just accept his opinions as facts. I’m disappointed.

    He has the documents and proof to back up his testimony. So why are we even talking about this? Why is Trump not in jail yet? That's the big news.

    Suggestion: I wish at the end of every interview you would ask the guest: "Do you know anywone who was hurt or killed on Jan 6?" I'm thinking maybe this simple question will remind everyone what Trump did on that day. Thanks!

    I've said this before, but it seems fitting with this video too. Todd Blanche should pay attention to Cohen and be taking notes, in a few short years, he could be sitting where Cohen is now.

    MidasTouch put out a statement that Micheal Cohen dose not OWN the Merchandice store or any of the company. He just has a few shows with the media company.
    Need to report that real fact.
    Go ahead confirm with them , they even put out a video on it today.

      Nothing weird about it. He was a lawyer. Whether or not Trump knew what he was doing was illegal is one thing. But a lawyer actively participating in helping their client circumvent the law is a crime on its own.
