  Speaker 2: Clearly, I've had my differences with President Trump on Iran, clearly.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I have my differences with President Trump on Turkey clearly.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I have my differences with President Trump on the way
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: he talks about Mom Donnie compared to BB. All those
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: things are true. I don't shy away from that. But
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I also feel he's the best president ever and I
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: love him. I adorum and I think he still feels
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the same way about me. I don't know. I got
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to try to find him first. He's been very busy. Well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: my next guest in studio, Somebody's been on the station
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: quite a bit the last couple of weeks. Also great
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: relationship with President Trump. Best friends, really best friends, much
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: closer than I have ever been with Presidrump. And then
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: it got ugly. But then, as a lot of good
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: friends do, they find a way to make it good again.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: A lot of you folks so like, oh, why you're
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: putting this guy on. He's a trader, he's a backstabber.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Calm down, calm down.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: First of all, don't ever tell me would have put
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: on my show ever. Okay, if it was up to you,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you'd be hosting the show, not getting number one weddings. Like, guy,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: get I know what I'm doing, and I've had conversations
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: with this guy, and I believe him. His name is
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Michael Cohen, used to be Trump's attorney, got very very ugly.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: You went to prison, not jail, prison. He's gotten out
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and he has repaired the relationship with President Trump. I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: think part of the issue Mike is at and we've
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: had very good conversations, you and I. I think part
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of the issue is, for some reason, the audience either
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: chooses or is having a hard time believing that you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and Trump are okay now. But you can guarantee that
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: right now, can't you? I absolutely can. In fact, so
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: has the President on his true social posts. But more importantly,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I understand, I truly understand why there is a divided
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: opinion of me, especially on conservative talk radio. I totally
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: get it. The reason because it's the same as what's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: going on in America, the divisiveness. There is a camp.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It's Camp Trump. Anyone who does or says anything, yourself included.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You don't agree with Donald Trump on Iran, I actually
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: do agree with Trump on Iran. We're permitted to have
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: differences of opinion. That's what makes America America. It's what
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: makes us great. But if in fact you say something
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that doesn't ascribe to their ideology, automatically said you're a trader,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you're a backstabber, you're a loser, right, I mean, on
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: my show when you know you know that comes out
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, we're doing Michael's mail bag. A lot of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: people send me, as I'm sure you receive.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I get a lot.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they send me some let's just call it insanely
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: graphic texts and dms and so on, and I plan
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: on exposing them. You want to be a texting tough
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: guy with me, male or female, that's great, but understand,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I too have the right to call you out, of course,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: and I will so you're pissed. Of course I'm pissed. Look,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I mean these people.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: But what I would tell you is I've been doing
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: this a long time and I get that stuff every
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: day for twenty.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Years, is who cares? You know?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: If you really are good at gun with the president?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And I know you are.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I know you are.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: You did your time, you serve prison time, so you
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: paid back. You're you did what you had to do. Okay,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: why do you care? But some computer tough guy in
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn says about you? They have no idea who you are.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: They don't know the president of the United States. They
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: love them. That's great. I love them too, But they
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: don't know anything. Why does it bother you so much?
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: So, in fact, it's not the people that will be
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: listening to me, it's the people who are now calling
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: me a trader. Because I acknowledge what Trump is doing
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: in Iran. I believe personally that what he's doing is right,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: not just for Israel in the Middle East, but for
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: the world. I ascribe to the notion that Iran must
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: never ever be a nuclear power, that it would be
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: devastating to the world, to my children and future generational.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Agree on that. That's not exclusive to you. I just
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: don't like the way you handle the war the last
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: two months. Otherwise I agree with everything, and right now
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: he's clearly an agreement with me because he's taking the.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Clubs off well.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: And I actually predicted it on my sub stack when
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: I wrote I understand Trump probably better than anybody there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: In fact, if I was the Ayatol Hominy, the new one,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: if he's even.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Still alive, he's all mangled, I'd probably hire me as
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a consultant in order to tell Please tell me you
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: wouldn't take that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you very much, I know Mom, Donnie would.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Well when you say.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: The reason, the reason I say that he should because
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: they don't understand Trump at all. They are constantly getting
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: him wrong. Yes, he will pull back, he will turn
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: around and want to go the route of peace. But
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: understand when you when he loses his patience for their stupidity,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: by the way, the same nonsense they've been doing for
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: forty sevens.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: And they don't care. They don't.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I think they do understand. I just don't think they
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: can now they don't care.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: They don't understand how far you can actually push Trump
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: before which he's going to do what he did just
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: the other day, another one hundred plus targets.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank god. So you said you've known Trump for
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a long time, So let's date that back.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: What you did? You meet President Trump.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: In two thousand and five?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Two thousand and five, even bright, you've known the president
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: now going on twenty two years and finally initially just
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: because you know him in the neighborhood. How quit me?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Did he make you his attorney?
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: That would have taken place in two thousand and seven.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: All right, So for about two years, you guys knew
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: each other, you hung out, then he made you as
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: personal attorney.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Well, I was doing some legal work for him at
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: the time. I was a partner over at the law
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: firm of Phillips Nyser, and he had some issues. Whether
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: it started over at Trump World Tower, it then morphed
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: onto Trump Mortgage, and after Trump Mortgage it was Trump
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Entertainment Resorts, and so I was just another sort of
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: sharp elbowed attorney for it. At which point the Trump
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Entertainment Resort case is an interesting one. He was losing
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: control voting control to the board, and he had asked
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: me if I would review some documents. It was a
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: chapter eleven reorganization that would give him back some control.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Is this the casinos?
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, this was the casino Trump, the taj Mahal and
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: the Tower, right, that's correct, there was several. There were
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: three casinos initially, okay, And so what happened is I
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: being obsessive compulsive. I started reading. He gave me two books,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: each one was bigger than War and Peace. And I'm
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: reading it, and my wife knew this is gonna be
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: a problem because he needed the hook. So I'm going
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: through the book and I have my highlighter and I'm
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: reading it and each one, I'm telling you, it's like
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: warm piece. Must be nine and a thousand pages between
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: the two, and I couldn't find it. And it drove
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: me crazy, and I didn't go to sleep. So I go,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I start again, finally about I know, maybe twenty one
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: hours into it, I find the hook and then I
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: type up a memorandum for him. I go, I meet
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: him the next day in the office. I turn around,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: I tell he goes, Michael.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: That may be the best thing I've ever He goes,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: we're gonna kill him. I go, quiet right, we're gonna
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: we're gonna take them with part. And by the way,
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: I went with him to the GM building and I
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: watched him disassemble them with a masterclass yet of just
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: business acumen. But here's the great part. He then turns
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: out on the way back to the office after laughing, laughing,
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: And by the way, as we left the GM building,
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: and it's only what one block from Trump Tower must
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: have been five thousand people swarmed him. I got the
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: understanding and the taste. It's not about money, it's about fame.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: It was about the power wedding was. The power was
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: really in his notoriety, and he knew how to use it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: So we're sitting in the office and he says, well,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: how much do I owe you? So so I said
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: to him, I put in probably. He goes give me
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: a discount, so I said, probably about one hundred grand.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: So he goes, why don't you come work for me.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: So that's where it all happened.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: It's all happened. So so you worked with him.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: By the way, you know, he never he never paid
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: me the hundred grand.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I'm sure no.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: He said, you want to get fired on team number one.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That's funny. So you're with him for a long time,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and you're right there from the very beginning when he
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: first announced he's going to run for president.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, hold on a second. I started the campaign. I
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: wasn't there for the.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Give give me about five minutes, give me the details.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I was the beginning.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: You were the beginning.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Twenty eleven, wasn't Steve Bannen wasn't stop it. Steve Bannon
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: came in. I don't know, like months and months after this.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: I started with Trump on this. In twenty eleven, there
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: was an article in the paper and said, who would
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: you vote for for president? That you know nobody would
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: think of? Five percent? Said Donald Trump. So I knocked
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: on the door, say, hey, boss, wants he something cool?
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: I handed him. He goes, let's do it. Let's check
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: it out. So I actually have a book. It's a
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: leather bound book that I hired a lawyer from Texas
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: who went ahead put together every single district, every single
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: state in the country how to win the election. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: by the way, I'm going to put it in the
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: presidential library. It's mine. I own it. Not only that.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: So then we decided not to do it in twenty eleven,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and I have the original letter too where he attacks
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Barack Obama on it in twenty so he said, I
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: can't do it. I was co president at the time
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: also of Trump Productions negotiated a sixty five million dollars
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: for him deal. He said, you don't walk away from house?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Is that the apprentice?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: That was the apprentice? That correct Hollywood walks away from you.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: He also bought the Darral. He just bought the Scott
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: in Miami when actually first took ownership with that course,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I was there too, and then he also bought one
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: in Scotland and one in Ireland. So he was like,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: there's too much going. But I swear to you, Michael Well,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I swear if you're with me shoulder to shoulder. In
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: twenty fifteen, the entire campaign consisted initially of two people,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: him and I.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think most people know that. So again, because
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: we have to be ablit version, because I got other
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: guests coming up, I don't want to bring it back.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It got ugly at some point, and what is your understanding?
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Your understanding Mike Cohen of why it got ugly.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: I was subpoened to testify before the initial one was
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: the Senate Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. I brought in
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: a guy who was referred to me by Sean Hannity
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: by name of Jay Seculo, a lawyer, and he said
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: to me, you don't need to show up, just send
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: to them and thank you very much for inviting me.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: But I refuse, and then they subpoened me. And now
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden Trump was angry. He's like, what
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: are you doing. It's a bad story. I want you,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: I said, I don't want to testify. I do not
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: want to be This.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Is all about the stormy Daniel's money.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: This was about yes and Russia hoax and the Russia hoax.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Most mostly the Russia hoax, no Steel DOSSI yes, sir.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Mostly was about the Steele dossier, which was a bunch
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: of nonsense. Thirteen allegations raised against me. Not one of
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: them is I could I am named in the Steele
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: dossier more than anybody else that I went to Prague.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I went with ten million in cash. I went to
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: go payoff Russian compromise for the benefit of Paul Maniford,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: who I don't even like, by the way, and too yeah,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: and and then I own a Datcha in Sochi next
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: door to Poot. My family is the biggest real estate devilo.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: There's a view of getting Pete on the bed as well.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: And no, you won't involved in that, thank God. No. No.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: But thirteen different spots.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Thirteen allegations raised against me in that fake document, and
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: that's what they were using in order to go. You know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: people don't even fully understand, which is why why when
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you know, you know is going to be so important
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: because you don't know. My God said, you're doing this
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: every single day. You don't know. And if you don't know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine how anybody else would, which is why
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: I'm so thankful to John Katzman Tit's WABC and the
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: President for giving me an opportunity within which to express
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: the truth, the real facts behind it.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: And it got really bad for you to the point
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: where you went to prison. You lost millions and millions
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: of dollars. Don't worry about giving you the exact number.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I know what it is, but it's it's bad. I'm
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: sure your wife was furious, your family had to be
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: very very unhappy. What was your lowest point? Was it
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: one morning, Michael in prison, and you're like, oh my god,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the president hates me. I just lost blah blah blah
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: million dollars. And what was your lowest point?
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: My lowest point was when the judge sentenced me. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: had my family there, my father.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Did you think he wasn't going, oh, you know, you
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: lost already, But did you think the second light would be?
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I pled?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, my entire case, so you know, lasted forty eight hours,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: that's it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: So did you think he'd be more lenient?
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I guess is the question one hundred percent?
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: By the way, the amount of money. For example, on
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: the tax because I'm the first time tax event, I
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: had paid over twenty million dollars in taxes, and then
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: if I have never filed the late tax return, I
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: know overseas bank accounts, there was no cash. Every single
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: document was given to my CPA, every single document in
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: an organized, tabulated, three ring notebook. Even the federal agent
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: turned around and said, is this really how you do
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: your tax I'm obsessive, compulsive. It's how I do things.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Everything is organized, and he was like, I can't believe it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: So I was like, every single deposit was there. So
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: the account made a mistake, Okay, tell me how much.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Unlike you or anybody else, I was never afforded an
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: opportunity to even discuss it. I was told on a
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Friday at four five thirty PM on a Friday, you
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: have until Monday at nine am to come in and
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: plead guilty to what we tell you, or we file
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: an eighty page indictment that includes your wife.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's not right.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: So I'm asking everybody, well, the listens, what would you
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: do the same thing you did?
• 14:07

• 14:43
  Speaker 2: it a tax from President Trump? Was it a call
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: from President Trump? How long ago? And what exactly happened
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: that you guys are now friendly again.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: In the most absurd of ways, the most absurd. I
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: started getting attacked by the are left people who would
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: call me all the time just to joke. People would
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: call them, we be on each other sub stack lives,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: and so they start they start including me into the epstein.

• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, now you been to prison. Now you're a real
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: tough guy. You have no idea. My former partner of
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Bern God rest his soul. Actually, one said, this guy,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Michael Cohen is a cross between Clarence Darrow and Tony Soprano,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: just that, you know, so.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: More like a Ray Donovan soprano. I'm kind of fake.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: You're in good shape, you'll look good. I'll give me
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: one more name and then he can continue.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Is Tara Palm, Mary lev parnass Zev Shalevajah hot Ali,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Joe Walsh, Jojo from Jersey, I mean, all of them.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden. There was a case that I
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: handled for Trump and it was called Jane Doe versus
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. It was a fraudulent case.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: In fact, the lawyer who I spoke to acknowledged they
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: never met the client, and so he withdrew the case.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: They started associating a different case, Katie Johnson Jane Doe case.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: I tried to explain to them, there are more Jane
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Doe cases filed in the United States than there are
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Ford f one fifties in the country.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: True, and it is true.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: And so I turned said, all I did is work
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: on this case. I never and during all the time
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: that I was with Trump more than any human being,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: probably even to this day alive, I never saw Trump
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: speak to him. I never heard him on the phone.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I never heard Epstein, never communicated with him. Mind you,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: that's from when I started two thousand and seven through
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: twenty eighteen. Never we never talked about him other than
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: this one case that ended up on my desk that
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: I had withdrawn. And I tried to explain that it
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: wasn't enough for them. Anything that they can try to
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: throw at this man, to harm him, to dirty him up.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: They were happy to do it. And I said, if
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: it was true, I assure you I would not be
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: defending him. But Lo and behold, they don't care. No
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: truth doesn't matter to them so long as they have
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: the ability to throw mud.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: So Trump became aware that you were defending him, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: what he texted you. He called you Margo Martin called
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you who called you well that we can't say that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It was actually a friend from both of both of
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: ours who got involved. And then LOI expressed to me
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: that Trump felt really story. They were beating me up
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: every single day, every single one of them, going on
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: for hours, and they were only doing it for clicking
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: to make.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: All those names and know them more us comebacks. When
• 17:30
