Episode 7 - Michael Cohen, Biden and the debate - and a new YouTube channel
Michael Cohen joins me to talk about the Trump prosecutions, a deep dive on Joe Biden's bad debate, and Taking Down Trump debuts on YouTube.
Episode 7 of the podcast has arrived — and now it has a YouTube channel to go with it!
Video versions of all new episodes will drop on YouTube every Wednesday. (The podcast drops at 3 am ET on Wednesdays for reasons that passeth all understanding, and the video of the podcast will likely drop around 5 pm on Wednesdays.1)
Michael Cohen is my guest this week, talking about the Trump prosecutions, especially his experiences as the star witness in the Manhattan DA’s successful prosecution of the campaign cover-up case — and how Trump threw him back into prison for writing a book and posting on social media. Plus we cover the Epstein/Trump revelations, the UK and France elections, and Project 2025. And what if Joe Biden’s bad debate night wasn’t because he’s old — but because of a very old problem shared by most Democratic politicians of the last 75 years?
As always, if you like the podcast — FOLLOW the podcast! So you’ll get episodes downloaded automatically (at 3 am on Wednesdays, apparently).
And make sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel as well, if you like your podcasts in video form — or just because it’d be cooler if you did. Thanks!
Subject to change. Your mileage may vary. Past results do not guarantee future results.
Trump used the GISH GALLOP trick in this and all of his debates. It is a flood of lies, BS, non-sequitur and specious arguments. So many that it is impossible to fact check and rebut them in the amount of time it took to say them.
Then, trying to figure out how to respond makes the opponent look confused. He doesn’t know where to start grappling with the flood of lies that just hit him.
It is a form of gaslighting!
President Biden’s debate prep people failed him. Biden was busied trying to remember the three or four items on his mental list of each issue or topic. In the mean time Trump is bullshitting and lying and making stuff up and what ever else popped into his head! Made Biden look confused.
Madhi Hasan the journalist and master at debate at Oxford University in England, wrote an article for the Atlantic in AUGUST OF 2023 about how to beat Trump in these debates. Pick the weakest and dumbest item and laugh and make fun of it and declare that “Trump lied about this and lied about everything else”.
Biden’s debate coaches should be fired! NOW!!
Prof Heather Cox Richardson in her June 27, 2024 podcast right after the debate immediately caught the GISH GALLOP TECHNIQUE and wrote about it right after the debate ended.
Why are Biden’s coaches clueless????
Your podcast was awesome. I totally agree with you. President Biden was coached very badly for his debate. Perhaps you should send this Episode to the White House for the next debate. We were missing the Joe we all love.
