- From our archives a very special guest, John Dean. For those of you who lived through Watergate, his name is synonymous with the political intrigue of the 1970’s. Dean served as White House Counsel for President Richard Nixon from July 1970 until April 1973. In that position, he became deeply involved in events leading up to the Watergate burglaries and the subsequent scandal and cover-up. Referred to as the "master manipulator of the cover-up" by the FBI, Dean’s testimony before the House was watched by some 80 million Americans. Granted immunity, Dean laid out in stunning detail and intricacy how the President not only knew about but orchestrated the break-in and burglary of the DNC. He ultimately was sentenced to one year in Federal Prison, but emerged from the experience as a changed and soulful individual. Dean renounced his former politics and started a second life as an author and speaker. He’s penned five books about Watergate and 10 books in total; including his most recent tome, Authoritarian Nightmare: Trump and his Followers. Dean is now the last man standing from that era, He is the last connection between this nation’s authoritarian past and present.

Our Right Wing Supreme Court Justices has GOT TO GO!!!!
Increase SCOTUS to 13 to match 13 District Courts. Justices are rotated to each District every 2 years. Full retirement required at age 70. Also need to undo the dysfunction at the Appellate level as well
@@nicnic1981 republicans would, mainstream Dems will just wring their hands silently.
They have to be held accountable.... They lied twice to the people, they have all broken their oaths.
@@nicnic1981- no age limit, but need term limits as We The People don't and can't vote them out. I say 12 year term limit. We need to be able to get the older, experienced, wise justices in. This shouldn't be a lifetime position that young, inexperienced person is appointed to. We need the 70 year olds appointed to the position as with age comes experience and wisdom and there's no substitute for experience. We also need to reverse Citizens United to make sure they aren't bought n paid for n owned. We need to make bribery illegal again or all sense of right n wrong is lost. (John Dean here is a perfect example of who we need as a SCOTUS). Also, There are 13 districts now because of the larger population in the country. These are SCOTUS districts, not courts and the justices don't change them out every 2 years. You are referring to the Federal justices, not SCOTUS that have all that. Currently, since we have 9 SCOTUS, but 13 districts, Roberts is in charge of 3 districts, Alito has 2, Kavanaugh has 2, all others each have 1. So this isn't even disributed evenly. We need to add 4 more SCOTUS so each SCOTUS has only one district. As soon as Biden is re-elected, and we win wth majority in the House and keep the Senate, then Biden can expand SCOTUS. Then we can reverse Citizens United and make bribery illegal again.
ABSOLUTELY 💯💥
30 years from now it will be viewed as the greatest blunder in US history. He could have just walked away in 2021.
Yet..... here we are.
They were duped just like his wives and business.
Knowing the Corrupted Republicans and the Corrupted Supreme Court’s Justices, they will lie and blame 1/6/21 insurrection on the Democrats. The Republicans will lie as though the Democrats caused the insurrection or January 6, 2021 never happened.
Justice matters 45 belongs in prison.🔐🔐🔐🔐😈😡
TRUMP TOLD THAT MICHAEL COHEN IS A LIAR AND ALSO FOX NEWS TOLD THE SAME
John Dean is brilliant & so articulate. He garnered my respect and admiration since I first saw him testify at the Watergate hearings. Thanks, Michael, for an excellent discussion!
👍
I too remember him testifying during watergate
I remember that as a small child
My dad was Marine in WW2 and fought in all four battles in the Pacific Theater❗️
He would be appalled at what's happening now in our country. We must VOTE💙BLUE to preserve our DEMOCRACY‼️
🗳💙🇺🇲🗳💙🇺🇲
Voting 💙 for your father and for our democracy!! 💙 💙 💙
I can talk about everyone to 99.98% in Europe we hate Trump really we HATE trump
We do too I have been hating trumpo since the 70s
I'm happy to hear that. It really says something when other countries cheer for us when Biden took office
I can't tell if this guy is pro trump or not. It kinda feels like it
Aussie here. Australia refused Trump a casino licence because of his connection to “the mob”
We do too
The only thing Donald Trump has that's residual, is his odor.
Now what about the Supreme Court with there dragging their feet. The people demand he be held accountable, were not stupid we saw and have heard all that this criminal has done.
We need term limits on supreme Court justices. They're bought and paid for. Trump has picked quite a few of them and they all do anything to protect Trump. It's total BS
Agreed! They owe it to the people. Supreme Court delay is very scary right now. Totally unnecessary! If only RBG had retired earlier we would have one more reasonable Justice. A job for life is a really bad idea!
All these arguments about Presidents being immune from prosecution are total BS. In our countries history no President has ever faced charges for legitimate actions he took as President. The only Presidents who ever faced prosecution for their actions in office were the 2 criminal Presidents Richard Nixon and now Diaper Donald Trump. Things are as they should be. If you commit crimes in office you should face impeachment and trial in court. If found guilty in court you should face the penalty for your crimes. No President is being prevented from doing his job because he's afraid of unfairly being prosecuted after he leaves office. The only President afraid of prosecution for his actions in and out of office is Diaper Donald who should be crapping himself because NO ONE is above the law in the USA!
Increase SCOTUS to 13 to match 13 District Courts. Justices are rotated to each District every 2 years. Full retirement required at age 70. Also need to undo the dysfunction at the Appellate level as well
Excellent COMMENTS FOLKS👍💙🏄🏄🏄🏄🏄
My Dad and all my uncles fought against the likes of Trump and the Supreme Court in WWII.
Absolutely that is what they were fighting against.
So did my grandfather-remember dump thinks they are suckers and losers and so do I guess the entire trump trash republican party.
Truth is this current fascist agenda has the greatest generation rolling in their graves. NO chance you'd be mouthing this shit if your father/grandfather was still alive. In your parlance they'd "slap the living shit out of you"!
One uncle of mine was killed in Italy. Two others fought in the Pacific. We have to vote and rid ourselves of trumpism
Truth is the fascist agenda has the greatest generation rolling in their graves. NO chance they'd be mouthing this shit if their father/grandfather was still alive.
Wisconsin here!!! Biden 2024!!!💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ty for John Deans wise words! He’s a legend! He knows what he’s talking about! Ty for helping to protect our democracy!
I remember his honesty and wisdom from back during the Nixon debacles. 👏
Keep strong. You're doing great Michael.
Thank you for explaining and reminding people that the former president is a criminal.
many of my co-workers have no idea. none. nada.
They need to indict every Republican CRIMINAL!
@@rhlang11 Do you All live in MARS??
HE PARDONS CRIMINALS FOR $$$$
You have the best reporting. Michael thank you for all you are doing to help correct past wrongs.
There's no correcting the past bad deeds. The damage is done.
@@emgeekleesWRONG 🚫
@@emgeekleesOf course there is!
@@gillianoneill3375 Don't get me wrong. I like Michael and I respect him. But we're here with that lunatic running amok because of Michael and other bad players. It's hard to let the resentment go sometimes.
@@emgeeklees I know what you mean. He was an enabler and he was wrong to do what he did. He knows that now though. At least he is trying to put the part right that he was involved in. I give him the benefit of the doubt, and will more so if Trump gets convicted out of it.
#TrumpforPrison #SaveourDemocracy vote blue 💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
John Dean - my hero from the Seventies!
John Dean. Always wonderful to hear his voice!
DJT has shown his absolute dishonesty aswell his Criminal intentions to the world! Our judicial system must honestly engage and continue the Prosecution of djt's fraudulent and criminal behavior!
Our nation and the world is watching our Judicial systems, and will not accept, dishonest or fraudulent behavior!
We certainly hope
Not to accept B.S. anymore… BUT…
?!
Michael, you have redeemed yourself in my eyes. I am so pleased that you saw the light and came out from the dark side. go get 'em. I hope you get your life back after this trial. I hope you get some justice on the unlawful additional incarceration for retaliation for your book by Trump/Barr Justice Department.
🎯🏆
Staying strong Michael Cohen! Way to go! We support you! Hang in there!!🎉
Sending love and surrounding you with angels to keep you strong❤❤❤❤❤
Took it for that “human.”
Is Trump paying taxes on the money he's using to pay his lawyers?
hahaha he's "TOO SMART" for that. His own words. By rights, in my opinion, that money should be used for nothing more than campaigning, not personal or legal use.
From the people😂
@@prestonnicodemus9336 isn't his daughter-in-law taking care of a lot of this?
I bet not
Do you mean a tax exemption as a business expense?
Good morning to everyone. It would be nice to wake up and not hear Trumps mouth and Bs
I admire John Dean! Watched all of watergate and when he testified then I could tell he was telling the true!.He and his beautiful wife captured me. Keep keeping John Dean!🇺🇸
Yeah, we'd run home from school to watch the Watergate hearings to see what Maureen Dean would be wearing that day. All eyes were on her.
I love Jamie Raskin, Professor of Constitutional Law, who is never afraid to speak out the truth
Ever since Watergate I've enjoyed hearing John Dean explain legal issues. We are so fortunate that he is still sharing his wisdom and perspective with us.
Wow! John Dean and Micheal Cohen two great heroes.❤❤
Michael Cohen??? How much $$$ has this schlep made off of being Trumps waterboy? I don't buy the come to Jesus moment, he was pissed trump didn't give him a position in the WH!
Cohen is a complete POS. He got caught and paid the price - but to consider him some form of a democracy advocate is fucking completely laughable.
I agree!
Definitely 👍💙🏄🏄🏄
Thank you Cohen for your guest John Dean, right on 😊
John Dean is simply superb. Deep appreciation.
I can totally understand Michael why you joined the Trump organization. I left a job in city government to work for a sleezy developer like Trump bc it was exciting. He ended up in prison for defrauding the City if Long Beach CA out of $10 Mil!
John Dean is absolutely amazing, but my guess is he's got so much experience in this area, so does Michael Cohen they know the ins and outs better than anyone, may these two men be highly respected and blessed.
I want to hear from Bill Barr. All of these cowards need to go back on TV after the Time magazine article.
Barr needs to be in jail for doing trump’s dirty work like he did to Michael… love you Michael 💙👍
Barr has already said on media he will vote for Trump again. He knows Trump is a monster yet he said Biden is worse. How? Never explains that.
@@MelaP-ei1om Epstein (imo) as well.
You got that right. Bill Barr is also a part of the mess. A very huge part of this mess. Instead of draining the SWAMP they are the SWAMP🤬.
Barr would still vote for Trump because Democrats are the Devil Incarnate and will somehow magically cause America to vanish or some shit.
Thank Mike. America wants to go back to the days where we wake up with a smile instead of a furrowed brow.
Dean and Cohen ....a pair that two aces couldn't cover . Hindsight is always 20/20 .
Excellent interview with the honorable Mr Dean 🙏🏼 thank you! 💙 vote blue
God bless John Dean and Michael Cohen!!!💪💥✨
Michael Cohen will be happy to know, I saw both Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel refer to Donald Trump as 'Von Shitzenpants'. Contrats! You've made it to lage night.
THANK you M Cohen and JOHN DEAN….EXCELLENT, CLEARLY explained….your knowledge is PRICELESS…
The perfect guest for these times, Michael. A valuable bridge from Watergate to trump's crimes. Both you and Dean prove there can be redemption.
Thank you Michael and John for your insightful and truthful discussions. Listening to you is giving me some hope that American democracy will not be broken. Sam 🇬🇧

When this first started Garland had a chance but he BLEW IT!!!!! Out of his own mouth he said no one is above the law if he had DONE what was right we will not be going through this now what a waste.
He's worthless coward.
Read Liz Cheney's book, "Oath and Honor." It was Mitch McConnell and the Republicans who dropped the ball. Mitch thought they didn't need to censure tRump hoping he would just go away. TRump got impeached the second time but not censured so here we are. RIP GOP. Voted all MAGA members out of our government.
Relevant coverage and discussion.
No one thought the Supremely Corrupted Court would take up the issue of absolute presidential immunity
Astonished me. Circuit got it right. Enter JUDGE Pann as opposed to “judge” you-know who.
Why do we deal with trump at all ?
No one talks to BOTS
Sells advertising
TO GET RID OF HIM💥
He stole from US. "Lock trump Up Permanently."
Because he keeps on doing alarming shit that shows how dangerous he really is.
Do your duty to the USA constitution and people. Our parents, grandparents and forefathers did theirs against internal and external enemies.
Here here! Creepy so many loves mad man. STILL duped; he needs them, then will ignore or crush them. Scared ‘ol Mitch to death.
You go, Michael!
Keep up the great work exposing the truth and spreading the truth. Bless you.
With Executive Privilege, there is an expectation of Executive Responsibility. Making a decision to target a known terrorist leader or compound, is a legal use of presidential power, and if civilians are collateral damage in the strike, he/she should not be able to be charged with murder. But if the president used his/her power to cause the death of anyone, without just cause, that IS murder & he/she should be held accountable.
🏆🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🏆
Great work, Michael Cohen and TY John Dean, for your insight.
Mr Cohen, thank you.
What a wonderful opportunity to have John Dean on the network!💙💙
If any living person has an understanding of corrupt American presidents, it's Mr. Dean. He was on the scene throughout the Watergate mess with Nixon and his lawless henchmen.
I love John Dean. He sees clearly. Great wisdom
We the People
Loved everything this historic hero had to say. Wish someone would have told him to back up just a tad so we could see all of him as he spoke truth to maniacal truly evil power.
Happy Saturday, Meidas Mighty and the Mod Squad!! 🎉
Thank you Michael & John❣️Great interview!!! Michael we love you.😉❤️💙⚔️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️⚔️💙😎
Right on Mr. Dean, and I was around in the 70s and was 19 years old as a matter of fact. Glad to hear you. Both of you gentlemen look fantastic! You are so right about Dems and messaging Mr. Dean!
Garland is a damn disgrace !!!
Donald should never this far in the game think he deserves special anything. NONO NO NO IMMUNITY FOR TRUMPIE😊
It looks like the 'supremely corrupt court' is leaning that way!! 😠🤬🧐🤬😵💫🤬😤
I AM AFRAID THAT TRUMP WILL GET IMMUNITY FROM THE SUPREME COURT
@@jackiecordova7291 - Me too!!!
@@jackiecordova7291That wouldn't make any sense unless tRump won't accept another loss in November. From my understanding, the day SCOTUS pulls the no immunity BS, it won't cover tRump unless he becomes President again. It will cover Biden and future Presidents and not tRump.
I just love Michael and thank him for all he is doing ❤️💙
SCOTUS took it up to delay delay delay.
I HAVE A FEELING THAT TRUMP WOULD GET TOTAL IMMUNITY FROM THE SUPREME COURT
Good interview. Thank you!
I think it was smart to go into archived recorded interviews to share while Cohen shows respect to the Judge during the trial
Keep it up Cohen we need you! Don’t stop!
They can’t message what corporate media doesn’t report. Let’s be completely honest about the current situation
GO JOHN.
Good morning, everyone!
Core out criminal traidor fuera
A malignant narcissist leaves wreckage wherever he goes. We'd have known who he is beforehand if they required psych screening for POTUS nominees.
Thank you Michael
I guess, if anyone is qualified to render an opinion on this matter.. I look forward to hearing what it is
Hey midas mighties 😊 respect from denmark
👋Good morning Mighties 👋
Good morning to you 💙
Good morning, @jeffereyroderick7006!
John Dean is as sharp as ever!
tuning into Meidas & company is reassuring; we are sane !
go freedom!
I know without them I think I would be a basket case 🙈
Fabulous interview! Thanks!
What shows you these Whitehouse aides and congressmen all knew they were provoking a criminal act is that none of them personally addressed the crowd once they stepped on the Capitol lawns. People whose whole life is all about making speeches to the public.
Bannon and Jones were also both very careful to not go into the Capitol, indeed to stay at a distance and know when to literally put the megaphone down.
My grandmother told me about Nixon & Watergate. She was sure that nothing like that could/would happen again. As much as I miss her, I'm glad she didn't live to see the 45 crap.
Good morning from Oregon I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. 💙🌊💙🌊💙
Have a great weekend too from Buffalo! 😊💙
Also from the uk. 🖐😊
Thanks for the replay with John Dean. I saw the Watergate hearing on TV when I was a kid. To me, John Dean was the man with the pretty blond lady sitting behind him. I didn't understand a lot of it but I remember a question from one of the Senators, "What is the significance of the asterisks beside some of the names on this document?" John's reply (paraphrased), "They are all lawyers. I wondered how so many lawyers could have created this criminal mess. They are the people who should have known better." "They are the people who should have known better" still rings in my ears.
I was there, too.
I didn't understand what was going on at the time (~8), but I, too, remember that statement.
I majored in history after hating it in hs; Uni profs opened the understanding of the inextricable web of occurrences we pass through.
Thanks for your comment. Gave me a Heather Cox Richardson moment.🤔🤓🩵
Very good show.
Ann Coulter called trump stupid, she finally learned
I read John's first book and was amazed. I learned the word DISSEMBLING. Much appreciated. 💙
I said it when you played guilty and went to prison that you were going to be the American hero I didn’t like you back then but you are going to be the American hero and it brings me to tears and I’m proud of you Michael
Hit the 👍
Great program. ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
No doubt about it Jamie Raskin knows exactly what he’s talking about🇺🇸☮️🇺🇸
No doubt about it , Whether it was a January 6 committee Subpoenas, or any other subpoena you show up to the subpoena! If you don’t show up for subpoena, there should be definitely be consequences!
Lawful consequences 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
John Dean is spot on. I watched him during Watergate. It was a long tortuous process. People don't understand that.
It really was important that it was televised. All Trump's courts should be as well. Police have said suspects who fall asleep are usually the guilty ones. The innocent are pacing, anxious and at complete attention. It helps to observe behavior.
@@katwalkableNo thanks. I don't want to see tRump at all. He will turn it into a circus and will act out on purpose for his foot soldiers.
Being a paid member has its attributes but the information and knowledge provided is VALUABLE to people. much respect Cohen
I love this program because of the experts you have on it and the questions you ask!
I Appreciate the Heart Mr Cohen, had in Court against His former boss The Dunce Trump! 😂
Good morning my brothers and sisters
Hi Dwight Smith 🎉
Mornin'! 😊💙
Good morning, Dwight!
Hey Mike: on piece of advice for when you testify: count to 15 before you answer and take your time. Remember every minute in that courtroom is torture for trump.
Michael you are and will go down in History as important and Patriotic as all-of our forefathers. You have found the right side of history.
Pandemic would have been another “dust bowl” and Steinbeck Grapes of Rath event if the GOP prevailed.
terribly wrong with people who put capitalism first..and dismiss the rest of us work hard making minimum wage and when we lose our rights we may as well be living in Russia..God help us..Vote BLUE
what a great guest ! this was a good one !
I love Raskin!
Thank you Micheal✨🇺🇸✨💙✨
Michael Cohan is NOT a hero. The man is a criminal who got caught and is just now trying to save his sorry ass. He said just before Christmas that he wishes he could go back in time and run from the subpoena he got to testify and that if Donnie wins again he’ll flee the country. Words of a coward, not a hero. Even if 45 became 47, which he won’t, there’s no way he could pull off his “Shitler” fantasy. He’d need a huge nationwide size army of neo nazis and a brain which he has neither.
Thanks for re-running this Michael, interesting to revisit all this again. a great reminder of the Roe issue with the Supreme Court, and the actual facts that has come out since about Trump and company. Michael, I have never said anyone say they like Ted Cruz, so you are in good company!
Good old John Dean from Watergate. He looks good!😮
