we should pay close attention what is the subject of this book that my viewers should pay more attention to actually it is the whole book there is no section of this book that is more relevant than the other I wish people would have listened to me Going back to 2018 with the House oversight committee but I wish the press would have covered my sentencing even more fairly eg , had released a statement that was the um sentencing report that goes to the judge, no one really reads it, most journalists just read it. the government sentencing memo, which was nothing more than lewd nonsense again to belittle me so they could sentence me to these three years I was so angry about it that I actually put the whole document in this book at the end of the notes that I want people to read is that I am not saying something today that I did not say five years ago when the sentence was carried out I said exactly the same thing there is no tax evasion there were no lies I did it I lied to Congress I did it but do you know who else was involved in this and i gave them the documents donald through his lawyer jay sekul ivanka jared whatever and they all had a hand in writing the statement to congress and what was the LIE do you remember how many times i talked to donald trump about a failed real estate project in moscow i told congress three the real answer was 10 right let's talk about the people who are still around you there are many you have supporters in congress you have supporters in the republican party you have supporters in high places you are very much the subject of the book is the way that it turns against people, in fact your frustration is the way it turns against you, you didn't think it could happen to you because you were the guy doing the dirty work. and the uprising, what do you have as advice for those people who not only stay with him, but in many cases are operating on the basis of his support, for sure, so that they can remember again in the supervision of the house that he Did I say Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan?

I know. what you are doing well I know the playbook because I wrote it and nothing good is going to come of it. Look, I said the same thing to Rudy Giuliani, not just on TV, but I ran into him at a restaurant in Fresco here. in town and i told him what are you doing he's coming back to bite you lo and behold once again i'm not prophetic i'm not nostradamus i just know the man well enough to know he doesn't care about anyone or anything and will use anyone, their children included, so as not to get into trouble.

A lot of people are speculating that he will run in the 2014 elections and you always tell me that he doesn't tell me why because it would destroy the big scammer if he runs all the money it would have to go to a campaign fund people would have to start expressing who they are and it's on the list that they don't want that anymore than he wants that in his pack people don't notice this he can use total discretion 90 of all funds 90 cents of every dollar has total discretion could buy another one plane or he can use the money to fix his old plane right now I mean you're just a slush fund but you know what's important about revenge is that he uses my case not so much to exonerate myself that's what he does, but what it really does is a clear

warning

to you Ali just start winning over everyone by watching the show everyone in this country what happened to me can and will happen to you if we allow our democracy to be in jeopardy thanks to Donald Trump and his supporters and his acolytes will happen to you and after his chapter on you being in prison he has a chapter called Democracy in Danger and one of the things he talks about in this book very specifically is the degree to which Donald Trump flirt with fascism we have we have horses right now with the Oath Keepers and the uh and and and and groups like that facing trial for seditious conspiracy we have people who don't want democracy supporting Donald Trump and Donald Trump continues to play with those groups of people tell me about Donald Trump and its fashion headline well first of all they are crazy to still support a man i certainly remember and i'm sure you can find the clip donald says to do this.

I'll take care of your legal fees. taking care of anyone's legal fees including his own he believes everything should be in the right arm going back to his Old Roy cone days everything should be free well no it's not and now he's seen some of these guys some of these insurgents with five seven year jail sentences where is donald? Is he going to take care of his families? He also doesn't care if they are out there and speak positively for him. That's all he cares about at the moment they. you're not able to sorry uh rhodes who stuart rhodes who michael and what is that donald we did that to you when you got arrested yeah he actually meant you because i mean he didn't call you the guy from the cafe but basically he didn't call you the attention as the center of their entire operation, it's correct and it's funny because that's something that bothered a lot of people who know me well, there wasn't a night where I would go out to dinner. there wasn't a night where there were guests i was at someone's house where he didn't call one two three times even when he was on vacation it was an everyday event four in the morning 11 at night it didn't matter he was there to be used by him the same way he's using all these other people and they too, like Rudy Giuliani, will understand how devastating government can be, especially when you have someone like Donald Trump arming the justice department using a lap. attorney general dog to go against your critics Michael thanks for the book Thanks for being here I always appreciate seeing you good to see you too Michael Cohen is the author of the new book Revenge how donald trump used the Justice Department as a weapon against his critics it's just out off foreign printers
