The post Episode 433 Scott Adams: Cohen, North Korea, and Coffee appeared first on Dilbert Blog.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Bom Bom Bom, BOM, BOM, BOM, pom, pom, pom pom, I'm Bob pump pump on hey there, Red Bell and the rest of you come on in take a chair unless you're working out, I know some of you are in the gym or or taking a rather than the
speech right now. Yes,
and you too should pay attention, because today,
is a very newsy day,
it's so newsy, you might need extra coffee. Luckily, you came to the right place, because this is breakfast and now this is coffee with Scott Adams. I forgot who I was there for a moment or where
so what I was doing, that's how much news there is.
Join me now left your cup here
your challenge your Stein and join me for the simultaneous up.
Soon we got a lot of news. Let's talk about it in
reverse order. Let's talk about North Korea. First,
so unless you've been live
under a rock for the last four or five hours uh. You know that the President
has decided to end early the talks with North Korea and
leave with nothing new, no new agreements. Is it
a horrible failure a mark on his legacy at
a confirmation that he was
who is never the right person for the job? Is it that? Well, let's talk about it. Let's talk about the context. The situation here is what we know. We put this back a little bit.
That's better, so we are watching the Cohen testimony.
And what was the news saying
all day yesterday about the juxtaposition of North Korea
Andy Cohen testimony. The news was
The news was reporting it as if Trump needed desk
only to have something happened in North Korea. Uh two competence,
date for all the badness that was happening with go, I will talk about going in a moment
but under those conditions should trump have made a deal nope,
nope. Now the only deal that Trump could have made. Under that backdrop,
of the news saying you're just trying to do this to distract, because that was the setup
no deal was possible. In fact, making.
Pretty good deal would have been a failure, because eh
thing that we did. That was we give you a little. You give us a little any kind of thing that looked like a deal
we're both sides gave something
would have been called a huge failure that never would have happened,
if Colin hadn't been testifying the President
desperately needed to make a deal that he didn't need to make, and so the press, the enemy of the people, made it impossible.
To reach a deal. They had any kind of give and take
now I don't know if a deal was possible anyway. So
So it made no difference at all
It wasn't really a wise thing to do to make a deal under those conditions
unless the deal was
so one sided that even critics couldn't complain,
but knew that wasn't going to happen? Nobody said-
is this going to go over there Kim will give him everything Trump will give him nothing, and that will be the deal. Nobody said that so without that
possibility. The president only had a lose lose scenario. He could not make a deal or he could make any
kind of a deal that had a little give and take on both sides, which would be framed as a failure, because everybody would say you gave a little.
My god. You had your foot on their neck. They sanctions were on. Why did you give them anything?
a terrible idea you lost, and it's only because you were trying to compensate for calling. So the US press
in this example. Very clearly, the enemy of the people created
situation, where the president couldn't do his job to protect the people? That's that really happened, and so we're not
talking about fun and games anymore. Just you know we're not talking about
they the news got factor over there, a little bias now we're at
we talking about them destroying the planet. Now as it come to that, but you can see the potential that there are. In fact
this is so malign line. Is that the word I keep hearing on tv lately? I never think. That's the
right word, but when I hear it I say that's a good word, maybe I'll use that simply their influences. So in the line
sounds like you should be malignant, but I hear people who sound more saying that word. So maybe that's maybe that's right use, don't take my word for that all right. Secondly, president,
This is more context. President Trump wrote a book about
walking away from deals that are not as good as what you want? I.
A lot of people say it's wrong word. I thought it was the wrong word too, but I keep saying seeing smart people saying malign instead of malignant, alright. Well, we'll figure that out later anyway, President Trump is
literally famous for, and this is brand
He says it often, I walk away
from a deal, that's not good enough! So should we have been surprised
that he walked away from the deal. No,
what would have been surprising making a deal now, making a deal would be. The surprising part has he has time on his side. That's that's!
sleeper, addictive development? Whoever has time on their side? In other words, the
Kroger negotiating position tends to walk away
Because they know the other side needs it more than they do and right now
well so long as N Korea seems to be. We think intent are not ramping up their testing
Time is on our side. Trump has turned
a potential enemy into a friend sort of and
Friends are not dangerous friends with some nukes they're, not testing, just not as
Lee Davis and they need us far more than we need them, because the the president has done a tremendous job. I think
in painting. This alternate universe, where North Korea becomes a powerhouse economic entity, so
here's, the story that I haven't seen yet in the news. Have you
see this in the news Kim
hello came all the way to Vietnam. I went home with nothing think about that
Kim came all the way to Vietnam and went home to his starving country. That is
you know it. This is crumbling by the minute. One assumes there and they're not going in a positive direction. Are they I mean
I don't know, but I would think that every day is worse than the day before so yeah he came.
All. The way here on training spend all this money. In fact, how much do you think it cost Kim just to come here to come to
Vietnam, it was probably really expensive how much money did n Korea have sitting around for stuff, like that, probably not a lot. It probably took a big bite out of Kims budget just to show up in Vietnam, with all his security and everything else. Uh
so I don't think I I haven't seen in reporting on this, but even though Kim is a you know, a dictator with full control of his country, I have to think that when he returns empty handed to a starving country, his regime is less stable. Would you agree with that because what didn't happen?
and this is the other smart part of what Trump is doing here. What didn't happen is that they left as enemies. They didn't leave his enemies. They left has better friends then, before the meeting
and Trump is doing this in a fairly genius way, and that he's for the
Just haven't seen this done before, I'm no historian
I haven't seen it done. Is that he's treating
the individual as a
separate decision from from the politics and from the you know, the the countries
And he's made it very clear that he has an affectionate personal relationship with leader, so can Kim go back and say
Damn you united States,
damn you evil trump, I'm going to I'm going to start testing.
Those nukes right away. Well, that would make sense.
That would be the worst thing he could do. Wouldn't it so
somehow now somehow in a smart way, I guess
President Trump has created a situation where time is on our side, because we've already
inverted an enemy into somewhat of a friend, and
they continue. Not testing, which would be the smart thing for them to do, is to continue not testing if they had done. That
if they continue not testing, we just wait. We know take,
will take a little bite out of it every once in awhile just keep
doing things in that direction, and here's the other,
after that puts time on Trump side,
well there is, there is big level. The Goshen Asians between the leaders fact check me on this, but I believe this is true, the north and south Korean
are having continuous low level engagements. In other words there
we're doing smaller things to increase, maybe travel and convert
asian and and just communication, north and south. Let me ask you this: how long can the Kim regime remain if communication improves with South Korea not law, not long right when the North Koreans get a legitimate taste of what's happening in South Korea, the regime will fall so again. Hi
who is on Trump's side as long as he's keeps Kim as a friend as long as he's holding out a legitimate, and I think it's
believable, because it's true
believable carrot, meaning
economic development. The end of hostilities keeps you know Kim,
stays in power, presumably nobody's talking about it, leaving power, it puts trump completely in the driver seat. Here it's just that it's going to take
And he doesn't need to hurry.
There's no reason for Trump to hurry. He has no reason. In fact, hurrying would have been the worst thing that Trump could have done, because any kind of deal would have been.
Would have been reported as a failure. Because of that was the was the context. It was a setup so that any
in the trump did with a negotiated given take would be painted as a failure, because
I was desperate to get the deal he was desperate, so
by walking away early, but politely
this is a polite walk away right, but it's a walkway. It's polite! It's respectful! It maintains friends,
it puts time on our side between the in for
Shin flow between South and North Korea. That is essentially a ticking time bomb for Kim. He can't allow communication, and I don't think you can stop at this.
Point 'cause as long as there are people in the north and the S were talking and they know each other stuff's going to happen. You know communication is going to get through so uh should we be upset that no deal was reached. I'll tell you what, if I hate that I hate that
phrase I'll tell you what one of the things that Trump could easily have given, because it's easy to take it back. Is
signing some kind of an end to the war.
And even that doesn't sound like it was likely to have happened or close. So
It looks like that whole end of the war thing. Even we didn't even want to give that. I was speculating that that would be the easiest thing to do,
The easiest thing to do would be to sign a piece of paper that says that the war's over it's it's the end of the
war, because that wouldn't really change anything that would
require us to remove our troops. It wouldn't require them to denuclearize, but it would change the context and I thought you could at least give Kim that because you can always take it back and Trump didn't, even given that that's some pretty tough negotiating there. Alright, let's talk about color. So in the morning I saw Jeffrey Toobin Describe CO instead
Testimony as I think he used the word earthquake earthquake and by that afternoon I saw Jake Tapper use a different word,
I tried to remember it- maybe somebody here so it, but by the afternoon the Jeffrey Toobin, this description of it as an earthquake had been down
headed it to something closer to an inconvenience. I forget what well word Jake used, it wasn't inconvenience, but it was alarming
Or something like that, or is there something like alarming now earthquake? That's pretty big alarming! That sort of everything. So I think that there was a
sort of a a creeping realization
They all of these things is sounded big when you actually
burrow down onto any one of them they sort of disappeared into the dust. Let me tell you my experience
I listen to the bombshells all morning and then I drove to the gym
As I was driving to the gym, I was trying to remember in my mind,
I was trying to remember- and I listened. I listened closely to all of the testimony and there was like one clay.
After another. These are bad claims and, as
driving way. I tried to ram
of them in my head. You know what are the worst most dangerous claims and what and what are the you know less dangerous once and here's a
I I couldn't remember any, but they they have all become background noise. It is
seems like there were so many claims and the credit.
Of the of each claim was so low and the mental processing
I had to do to sort
hold any one of those week
names in my head was so great that my
angel said well,
Let me borrow a line from family guy, and so
so I'm I'm paraphrasing a joke from family guy where I'm watching co and talk for hours. Just our
hours of talking hours and hours Cohen is making these horrible accusations about the President
and at the end of all those accusations. This was my reaction.
I don't know about any of that: that's the family guy line
I don't know about any of that, meaning none of it. None of it is sticky. Alright, let me give you some examples. You've got the the earthquake
hum. That Cohen was part of a money laundering scheme.
To you know to cheat on
somehow do something illegal. With campaign finance to write a check to the porn star. Anything
God that's bad ad campaign.
Finance violation. That's bad, some kind of you financial crime and then you
two people who are smarter, say worst case scenario? That's a fine Obama did.
Two and by the way it's not illegal. It is literally not illegal to do any of that stuff. So the whole context we're talking about you know this. This payment
porn star. We some we sometimes think past the sale the sale is. Is it illegal
spend money on things that would help your campaign, but at the same time they're the things you probably would have done anyway, because they have a personal use, and this clearly does have a personal you.
Obviously he wanted to keep this quiet, so the first one, the biggest claim I thought,
was going to be that money laundering pornstar payoff thing, but
If you drill down a little bit, it's not even a crime
but if you drill down further- and even if you could imagine it was a crime- it's a fine, that's it that's a fine! It's business. As usual,
Let's take another one of the bomb, it's a bombshell that
Colin, allegedly heard a speaker phone conversation between Trump and Roger Stone, about Wikipedia going to release some stuff
the bombshell. This is at the smoking gun. Now we know that the president was talking with stone about wiki leaks and their connected to Russia. Is Russia, Russia,
Finally, and then you drill down a little bit and you find out that Wikileaks had
tweeting the release of these documents for a long time and that Roger Stone is actually just full of, and he doesn't know anything and here's the best part. I was watching Michael Tracy on Tucker Carlson last night
And Michael Tracey pointed out that the odds that Rogers wrote Roger Stone allowed himself. To be honest,
your phone was about zero and the
as the President Trump would take a call with Roger Stone on a speakerphone phone, basically zero
now, I suppose anything's possible, but the story just sort of falls apart
first of all, there's one witness second,
all he and his the least little Colin is literally famous as being the most most undependable witness of all time. I think he lied four times during his testimony before he goes to jail. For lying to me is the most ridiculous, ridiculously week accusation. So, first of all, it was public information because we keep peace was like working with. He was saying. Second, walls
the owner is a famous fabulous. Does I say or exaggerator or maybe he lies on occasion.
Cohen is the other biggest liar. So basic
It's just this dead of liars
something that wasn't even a problem because it was public information anyway. So the week, Youth Wikipedia thing sounds important. Then just disappears when you start, you start pulling apart. Here's another one, the there's a story about the
Trump uses. Foundation is sort of a shell that was at the foundation to yeah,
bid on a painting for some charity and so that in the the scheme
is so he would, he would bid
There will be a bigger bid for his painting than anybody else is. It would come at the end, but
He was just trumps on money and he was using a using somebody to just be a stand in for himself. Basically, so you could have the biggest bid for his own painting.
Now, if this were somebody else, if this were not trump,
Maybe that would mean something to me, but the fact that it's Trump
it's kind of why he does for a living right. He
a marketing person who is all about his brand in the image, the Trump property image.
And so he pulled a move that is frankly hilarious and I'm, I have to admit, I am influenced by the fact that it's funny it's very funny that he would
run a scheme to make sure that his painting was the people paid the most.
As part of his larger is larger effort to Maine.
In his brand as the of the biggest and the best personally.
Personally here's my reaction to it. Well, that's funny it's funny and it's got a smart because
how it should have worked. You know if you were going to tell me that this would come back and bite him in the ass. When he's president, I would say about. Maybe then that's a bad idea, but on the scope of crimes
If you were to like make a list of the worst crimes in the world, like you know, genocide or something at the top, I need to go down
it's a murdering one person. You know stealing beating somebody up. You know sex crimes,
property crimes, then there's traffic crimes and their speeding,
somewhere
somewhere at about the
The one millionth crime would be pretending that somebody else paid too much for your painting.
Now I can imagine, there's a technical crime there, but it's
the smallest crime I've ever heard of and it's hilarious, it's hilarious,
Would you be disappointed if Donald Trump did not find a way to pay the dues for somebody to pay the most
Where is painting I'd, be a little disappointed if he didn't do that
this sort of what we expect them to do Sparta, while I can frankly, but I'm different.
Then there was a story about collusion. Do you remember collusion
Oh, I remember collusion. It was so long ago, back in the days when people imagined that
Michael Cohen, would know the inside stuff and if there,
any collusion there
Michael Cohen, would know it
who is on the inside, what did Michael Cohen say about the collusion didn't see any?
so? The biggest story out of this is that the collusion thing continued to fall apart. That should have been the main takeaway, but because the nature of the press they have to, they have to make these little stories sound, like they're, bigger the big story.
As the guy who is the closest to the inner workings of the of the thing. Not only
here's the best part, even if you imagine.
That Michael Cohen may not have had all the information he tells us.
Story of the President, who was his longtime confidant, I mean they shared more secrets than anybody right.
The probably was no one who shared dangerous secrets with the president. More than calling.
And Cullen apparently says the President told him on a number of times. It was no collusion, so the collusion thing fell apart. My favorite one is that hit the the president was accused of inflating his net worth and then decreasing his net worth for other purposes. Now I would let me put this to you how many people out there have a for
financial background and when you heard that that charge that the president sometimes inflates is values and sometimes
sometimes takes the low number. If you have a financial background, what was your first impression to that
Now this is only for the people who have a genuine financial experience, normal normal.
If you don't have a financial background, you would say
oh my god. That's the way.
Reporting this sounds like it's a huge financial crimes? Let me give you an example: now, I'm not I'm not
fully informed here, so my example might be inaccurate, but it'll give you an
of what I'm talking about so take
example as a general point.
So I might have some of the details of my actual example wrong. But here's the general point, so we have a golf course
They he valued differently
I think at one point you valued at fifty million dollars and for
for other purposes. I think for property tax he valued at like five million or something very low. So one was like fifty million and was like five million
so it's reported as financial crime right, because it can't be true that something is worth fifty million, but also true, that is worth five million. They can't both be true right
Would somebody with some financial education explained to the rest of the people here? Why those both can be true, you know they both can be true right, there's nothing wrong with that. Here's why? If you're paying proper
tax you're, paying tax on the value of the land and the building that my
seven five million dollars, or at least you could make a case for it being five million dollars? If you're talking about the value of the business, let's say the business is profitable.
You would say: well it's making so much money that it's worth. I wouldn't sell this business for less than fifty million
now that may be inflated, but not,
Cecily illegally inflated. In other words, you can use optimism to value things. You
use the value of the brand. Somebody said so, even if the cash flow is not that high somebody can say yeah
Golf course at the Trump name on it, and- and you know we knew it was
designed by the of Trump people etcetera. So
so my example might be bad 'cause. I may not have the details of this particular thing, but my point is that when you're talking to Forbes about your net worth inflating, it is just sort of normal 'cause you want to. You want to make your brand look good. So you want to look like you're high on the list, but that's not illegal.
Saying that your property is worth only what the building and the land could sell for is not a legal. That's actually just the way it's done right
saying that your business might
worth a lot more than other people. Think it's worth based on its cash flow is normal. That's not a crime, so I think what you're going to find is that I was looking at the article and CNN and they
I'm saying it's very confusing 'cause. We know this and this and the value this at this time- and this is this type- it's all very confusing
It is all very confusing if you have no background in finance,
if you do have a background in business with a background in finance.
You would know that the most normal situation in the world is that the same thing or what you think is the same thing.
Could be valued at wildly different numbers depending on the purpose. Is it for property tax is? If for selling your business is,
for being on the Forbes list. Those are all
different, valuations and should be, or at least could be alright. So the
the net worth exaggerating. Things sounds like it's a big deal right.
To drill down and there's just nothing there. Now I could be wrong, but on the surface it looks
like simply a case where reporters don't understand finance, so it looks like it's a bigger deal than it is then was Michael Cohen said that the trip the president was a racist. No, I didn't watch every minute and I think there was some point where he was was he ever accused of something specific do it, because I think I missed that it's not on the news.
Did Cohen point out to anything specific that only he knew. There was evidence of that claim because I didn't see it, so you can inform me on that, but
so Cohen claimed that the president's comments about Charlottesville we're evidence that the president was a racist. Here's what's wrong with that correct me,
wrong, but Cohen is a jewish name, isn't it well? I know that parts right so Michael Cohen, a close confidant of the confidante of the President, who is jewish.
For ten years hired by the President, despite what other people say are his lack of qualifications work with the president for ten years.
And never noticed that the president was Anti semitic until Charlottesville,
Is that the weakest claim you've ever heard in your life? If Colin had not been jewish, then I would say to myself: I guess: maybe you just wouldn't notice- or you know, maybe that was the final straw or something but code is jewish. The the shell is Phil, marchers were anti semitic. Are you telling me the code works for Trump for ten years and didn't notice didn't notice until the end, and that was based on if I'm fake news for anybody who's new here, the Charlottesville, a hoax? Is that CNN and other people report
That Trump said that there were fine people on both sides? That, of course, was not referring two antifa on one side: 'cause, they weren't find people and he was not referring to the
racists were marching with tiki torches because they were not find people. He was talking about the fact that the event was about statues,
There were fine people on both sides of the general question about statues, and yes, there were other people there besides Antifa and the racist with.
Torches and the next thing you say, if you hate Trump, is well. Let me I've been waiting to do this one. Oh,
So why were they marching with the races? Are you telling me that
non racist who march with racist, is that we take Scott, no Dale. No one's ever said that I'm not saying there
marching with I'm just saying there were there all right
so the Charlottesville thing once again plays on
and then see and then, once again, a let's ago, by as if its fact, which is why you can call CNN the enemy of the people, all right
uh then there was the I saw
it was c some question about insurance.
And she asked her question and then I don't really see any of that in the news. Did you so I don't know what she was talking about with
property values and insurance. So I think that was
another case of you- use different valuations for things based on what your purpose is, whether it's insurance, whether it's Forbes list Center, that's
seems like nothing but I'll tell you what was the most interesting thing about this. If you watch the go and testimony he said that the president speaks three languages.
Did you catch that a lot of people are saying say that President Trump is not that smart, but I didn't know that he spoke three languages, so he speaks English yeah so that that would be used the president's primary language, but as
Co explained with the Charlottesville thing,
the president also speaks a secret coded racist dog whistle. At the same time, he speak English, but on top of that Cohen, told us that he speaks in gangster Code,
so he's got three languages going on he's got his normal english language he's got the racist dog whistle
he's got sort of a gangster code and he can do them all at the same time,
and I'd like to give you an example of that
So if, for example, you were to hear the the President talk about N Korea.
If you only knew about the one language.
It would sound like well we've
I did too.
The North Korea talks and we didn't get
think we wanted, but will keep talking with them, so that
It would sound like just the english language, but now you have to
have to layer on the the whistle. So so that's like this well, we got got a good
we didn't get a good result in North North Korea
say so now you got some English, but you've got the whistle that's in there, but then the
Gangster code is more of a clicking sound
the other would sound so like this you're going to have the English on top of the races whistle on top of the gangster clicking sound, and it was a like a.
What we've decided. Click click
and our conversations in north click click click on Korea.
We're very hope to search click. Click, click hopeful, other things will go better in the future. Now
Those are the three languages that are confirmed.
So we know the president can speak three languages simultaneously. There are just travelling on different frequencies as I, as I give that example, the one that.
Maybe I'm the only one who knows when I
with the president- and I really shouldn't tell you this, but I'm going to tell you this
when I met with the president, we talked privately and he admitted to Maine, and I'm going to tell you that you know that sonic weapon
That was injuring the diplomats in the cuban embassy. It wasn't a sonic weapon. The president speaks four languages, that's right
english racist dog whistle gangster code, sonic weapon.
The president is responsible for that damage to the cuban cuban victims?
So I think that's what we learned. The president speaks four languages simultaneously:
is a lot smarter than we thought he's, possibly an alien, possibly daily.
Somebody Peter noone is seven, says apologists much and that gets you the block.
The word apologists get you blocked automatically on my periscopes, because it's not
It's not like apologises is the worst like insult or criticism. It's just that is empty. You can
lead. Disagree with what I say, I'm always open to that
but to simply label main instead of to talk about the point. That's an instant block, all right, um now on Tuesday next week, will talk to doctor Shiva about um, will talk to doctor shave about climate change and you're not going to want to miss that. But let's see
with a little time left. Was there anything I missed? No, let me just check with you. Was there an
anything that Cohen said the
made any difference to anything, except that it showed the collusion is even less likely than we thought before.
Did I miss anything with the cow testimony because it feels like it's all, nothing the?
Are your there's, the other one of the claims that the up some of the congresspeople made, and it's a claim that Michael Cohen made? Is that the
Trump approves and is aware of every
important meeting in
not only the Trump organization, but in the campaign
how little experience with the world do you have to have to think? That's true? Let you know if you're an experienced business person and you've had any experience in a big organization that could be a government, it could be a large corporation, any kind of Lord get large organ
haitian I am watching these politicians and I'm watching call and say that the president absolutely positively Honda
percent new. Whenever there was a meeting.
At the same time that the president is disengaged and doesn't read defense reports or whatever he supposed to be reading. Are you telling me that the.
People that you've been painting as a hands off and a touch your barely paying attention to his job simultaneously knows every meeting that happens in the Trump Organization, as well as every important meeting, maybe not every meeting but every port meeting in in the campaign. That feels exactly like the opposite of true. In fact, if you said to me Scott I'd like to make about with you, I will bet that I was in trouble, proves of and knows a hundred percent of all meet.
Things that happened under his organizations. I would take that bet really quickly. I would give you pretty long odds. The meetings happen that are important that do not again not get approved by President Trump, all right, so that part was funny. Yeah
just look your comments now. Are you also surprised that we've gotten this far Owen
the other, the other. The other accusation about Trump is that he didn't expect to win the presidency
and he was negotiating for his russian building deal,
you know in case he lossed, and then he would do that deal.
To which I say
which part of that is not just business. Well,
Why should he not keep his options open? What? How is that bad?
it might have been bad if you decided to go ahead with the project after becoming president but yeah the fact that he kept that option open and then I I think, is accused of lying to the press about it, not a crime, not a crime,
Or although said that, he revealed more in his vault than cones testimony. Oh good, I'm glad that
I'm glad that Geraldo is on that analogy,
And then the yeah and then the code reports that that the President said that Don Junior had you know the worst judge me,
in the world now, does that sound true? Do you believe that the President
Meydan Junior the head of his empire at the same time, they think she has the worst judgment of anyone in the world? Do you think that's even
Lee true. That doesn't even seem like in the universe of true, like that at a you know, if you look at the
you, the prominent role, the Don Junior played throughout the
in and after the election etc,
if there's anything you can say for sure. That's that the president has
Justin Don Junior, and I would say that,
so obvious that it's laughable that anybody would say the opposite now
that doesn't mean that the president didn't argue with you know some specific decision,
So you can also guarantee that the president,
and Don Junior have had periods at which you know they very much disagreed on how to do something. So if you tell me that the president
made a sweeping generalization at that time. Maybe, but this clearly is not true as a general statement that that the president doesn't have confidence and Don Junior. I think that's that's as obvious as anything could be, but yeah the last several years of ups
vision Don brought in Michael Cohen, the President.
Hired Michael Cohen, an worked with him for years, and he hired him after he did a good job on a few projects
so you didn't hire him without seeing his work first
did you ever disagree with your dad? Not that much? Actually, I had one of the worst thoughts
I don't know if I can even say this that maybe it's the end of the periscope, but I gotta
but anyway, I would only say this because Cohen is such a horrible person. Let me really is a bad person. Oh should I say this I'm going to get in trouble. If I say this, I'm going to say it anyway, because we're just having coffee right.
So Cohen's wife
who has to endure her all the humiliation of this situation and all of the risk all the emotional turmoil, then her husband going to go to jail for three years and
Then she may have heard for the first time from Matt Gaetz that her husband has
girlfriends or has girlfriends that's the bad news right. So the bad news- and nobody can be happy about that- is that his marriage fell apart and the family are all victims. I so there's nothing funny about that. His family are victims.
So I'm not making light of that. However, however,
I'm just going to say this as a statement of what I think is a fact,
you can do with it. What you will.
Cohen's wife is now the.
Dateable woman.
In whatever city she's in New York City, she might be.
The most eligible
kind of single woman ever because there
a lot of it, going be a lot of people
who are going to see her as having a little extra going on and while
little extra, I mean that you know they
I like her in general, just because she's attractive person
but they're going to like the fact that Michael Cohen doesn't like it, and so he has transformed completely accidentally. He is transform.
His wife who, under any normal circumstances, is you know actually when looked at a picture of her, because I needed to get a mental picture of my head, so she's an attractive woman
and her datability. It just went through the roof in in this weird.
Way that nobody would want it to happen right so she's a victim, no doubt about that of all this, as well as the the kids for sure
but she became really datable.
Really really dateable and we'll see how that works out.
You didn't defend Alex Jones when he was censored. You know, I'm not the guy,
is going to defend people for saying things that I don't agree with. So some people just have to defend themselves, go and will make money from this, maybe yeah. I think I didn't Darrell Scott yeah and I think
Reverend Scott said that in a tweet or something that the co and had tried very hard to get a job in the administration, so we got the outed as a as a liar with
there's nothing worse than being called a liar by Minister yeah.
If you ever get called a liar, you better hope it's not a man of the cloth, I'm not sure if that is a man of the cloth. Is that just a catholic term? I don't know how that works, but
you. Don't want to be accused of a liar by somebody who literally is teaching the Bible. Why did he plead to campaign finance charges? Well, it may be that he was forced into that. It's not unusual for people to to plead to things that they might not
this been convicted for so that's not unusual. So if you're, if you did a big crime but they're going to give
do some lenience on that 'cause. Maybe you were helping them in other ways,
it wouldn't be that unusual to plead guilty to a thing you didn't actually technically do so. I think that's a real thing
or at least a lesser crime. That's a little bit off point. Let's put it that way.
Yes, I hear you saying you want me to talk to Victor David Hanson. I hear your message. I haven't quite decided how many guests I'm going to have on here, but he would be a great one. He would be true,
this than than Lanny Davis, so he's apparently doing
s without pay,
that's so transparently fraudulent, maybe not in the legal sense,
but it's so obvious that,
Davis is not doing this for free.
In one way or another, if you know what I mean right
it may be that nobody's writing about a check per se, but is not doing it for free. I don't think that's happening all right. I think we have a. He was also this topic and I will talk to you all later.
