All right, we have breaking news. This is actually, I don't know if this is shocking or surprising, but it's certainly interesting. It's interesting, and I think it's a sign of where we are in this country where Michael Cohen, I think one of the biggest grifters in American history has decided that the rats need to leave the sinking ship. The sinking ship is the Democratic Party or America, and he's trying his best to get back into Magus, Good Graces, and Donald Trump. And Donald Trump is listening. He's paying attention. Now I have some exclusive insights as to why Michael Cohen has decided to say, as is reported here by Fox News.

Michael Cohen said that the New York prosecutors, Tish James and others, pressured and coerced him into anti-Trump testimony. Now, he wrote this in a substack saying I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government's desire to build the cases against insecure judgment and convictions against President Trump. I have insight as to why that happened. But first, Lev Parnas, Aaron Parnas' dad, actually had this to say about all of it. One of the people he's been trying to get through is he's built, it's so interesting, he's built a relationship with George Santos. So, yeah. Moscow, George. Yeah.

More breaking news, folks. More breaking news, you know. We're going to give you lots of breaking news. So he's built a relationship through and through others, like he's kept a relationship with Matt Gates in the background and others that he's been trying to get into Trump world and asking me even how he could get there. Because he has a way he told me that he could deliver him and Jesse Jackson Jr. could deliver Trump the Democratic vote and Trump could win. And that will get Jesse Jackson a pardon. He'd get a pardon. We'd all get pardons. I turned around, told him, said, you're a sick man. If you think that Trump cares about your plan about democracy,

while you embarrassed him and his wife in front of the whole world about his little pecker and Stormy Daniels, I said, that means you don't know Donald Trump. So he answered me, so he answered me very interesting. He goes to me, love, no, I'm the contrary. I know Donald Trump very well. And I'm telling you, if we could find something, because he was saying we, because he thought I wanted a pardon also,

so I was playing along with it. He goes, if we could find something that could be big enough, that Trump, what? Trump, it doesn't matter. He will forget it. Look at JD Vance. And that started, I got the head thinking at that moment. I was like, you know, what is he really up to?

What is he looking at, you know? So I started playing him in the background, listening to some of his conversation, but at that point, I was already on his case. And then if you guys go back to look at some of our unleashed episodes, you'll see that we started budding. heads and going until finally that last one where we hit it so here's their plan guys michael cohen has uh and i don't know if it's through exactly who has finally reached out uh

to trump's ear has lied about this whole extravagant story to be able to give trump uh and this is michael's plan that he pitched trump and i guess trump bought into it because this is where we are now uh that trump could get his whole case thrown out because it's in appeals right now because Michael Cohen is going to come out and say that he was coerced by these prosecutors and specifically Letitia James and Alvin Bragg. And as we see, Michael Cohen has done just that. Now, we also have, and this is where I have some exclusive insights as to what happened with this allegation from Michael Cohen. But we also know something too. Now, I can now talk about this because it's out there in the open, but I know this

to be true from multiple sources. So there's also these allegations asked here, why is Cohen not spilling the beans? He defends Trump of the Epstein stuff. He, quote, can't believe it. Trump is the monster that he is and he keeps chatting every single day in his podcast. Now, this person here, Opperman reports, was a PI on the Katie Johnson investigations. and the Stormy Daniels investigation. So this is a legit individual who says, I have heard from several people that Jerry Falwell Jr.

Pace him not to talk about abortions in Epstein. I have heard this from people that don't know each other. So Michael Cohen, who had rebranded himself as someone who saw the light, who understood the error of his ways, this entire time allegedly, and I've heard this too now, from other sources that he's actually being paid from an evangelical pastor this entire time to stay silent on Trump's abortions and on Epstein. And with Michael Cohen now coming out and saying that he has been pressured to say the things

he did in the Donald Trump case, what he's actually doing to, he is creating an environment. Now, remember, Donald Trump has been trying to go after Tish James. Unsuccessfully, comically, he's been trying to go after her for real estate charges and been very unsuccessful. What Michael Cohen has done right here is he's made it so that perhaps Donald Trump's appeal could go through his love partner said. But more importantly, what he's offering Donald Trump is the ability. to go after Tish James for criminal charges too. And we know that very desperately, that is something that Donald Trump wants. And now Donald Trump has actually responded to this, saying the following,

the truth social. These horrible radical left people doing everything possible to destroy our country and should pay a big price for this. It was a set up from the beginning. New York courts with many fair and wonderful judges are embarrassed by what happened. We cannot let this pass. So Donald Trump is paying attention. Now, in response to all this, I got to give a shout out to Midas Touch, who the second when Michael

Cohen came out and did this, Midas Touch, they wanted to do the principal thing and they wanted to stand up for what is right. And they immediately cut ties with Michael Cohen saying here, programming note, Midas Touch Network will no longer be producing or carrying the show. political beatdown or Mia Culpah with Michael Cohen. And I got to say, this to me more than anything, was very hopeful because on the right, we have a lot of right-wing grifters. And though I never, ever wanted to interact with Michael Cohen, I do think that this is a great sign that at least with the largest, one of the largest progressive networks on our side, they're still acting

from a place of with ethical behavior and virtue, which is so needed right now. It's so needed right now. And as I said, I've never interacted with this. I think maybe I met him and I don't even think I've like met him in person. Maybe I have it like, I think he was at a substack party and I met him very briefly. I don't know if it's intuition or if it's a if it's just good bullshit to tell. I don't know what it is. I never want to talk to this guy. And I feel very validated by all this because I never bought it. I never bought it. As you know, he's never been on the channel. I never wanted his channel. Now, what I'm wondering is the people who did go on his channel, are they going to speak up? Because I haven't seen anything. We saw Midas Touch do the right

thing. But as you can see here, you have Malcolm, Malcolm Nance, Joe Jersey. As she said anything about Michael Cohen and what he's doing to cover up Epstein? Is she speaking up about how Michael Cohen is trying to keep Donald Trump from having accountability, how he's basically helping Donald Trump press criminal charges against New York Attorney General Tish James? Is Joe Walsh, who is a new Democrat going to come out against this? Is Jolly Good Ginger going to come out and denounce Michael Cohen. I think, I hope they all do. I think they should. We have to be very clear about where we are right now and what we will and will not allow on this side of the aisle. And my hope is that folks who have done what they could to lift Michael Cohen up and to legitimize him also do what they can to point out

that he is a grifter, a liar, looking out for himself, and is no doubt. defender of democracy. And so anyone who's been on his show, my hope is that you come out, you denounce him and you point out that he has no space in this party anymore, and at least no space on the left. Let this just be a reminder that just because people say what you want to hear doesn't mean they're doing what you'd want them to do. There's two different things. It's very easy to tell someone what they want to hear. It's a totally different thing to live a life that backs that up. That's why I'm just going to point out, I might have this YouTube channel. I've been, this was not, this is not where I thought I'd end up.

I literally started this, started my career in politics, volunteering to the local level. I joined my local Democratic club. I've worked for the New York City Council. I've worked on campaigns, citywide campaigns, statewide campaigns, presidential campaigns, and all for the service of hopefully helping shape the country into a direction that I thought would be more progressive, more liberal, more democratic. This channel happened because I just felt like there weren't enough voices out there. But you can look at my history to know that I'm not in this for clicks.

I'm in this because I actually want the country to be better. I think the country is sick and I'm hoping to do my part to make it well. I think there's a lot of people, not like Michael Cohen, on our side, Lindy Lee is another one. who was an influencer that became MAGA. There's a lot of people on our side who say a lot of things that sound, sound great, but really they got into this for a different reason. I think we have to be a little bit more mindful about who we pay attention to. Okay.

Bye.
