Michael Cohen

American former lawyer

Nov 9, 2026

37:37
Michael Cohen, you wanted to say something.
37:38
Yeah, you know, there's been a lot of conversation, speculation behind closed doors that he was an investor, that there was a lot of money that was made here.
37:50
Who's he? I'm talking about Lutnick.
37:51
that there was a lot of money through his company that had invested in NVIDIA, that he had given something like over $800 million, maybe it was $8 billion.
37:59
I forget when you start counting that number of zeros.
38:02
That's part of what Democrats are right now beginning to look at.
38:06
Because, again, you don't necessarily immediately have to take the king down.

11 MINS LATER

49:18
Well, you
4:05
you jump off a cliff? Did you try it?
4:08
And I said to myself, it wasn't even close.
4:12
And that's the part that I'm most concerned about is the thoughts that are going through these young people's minds.
4:21
And I talked about it on the show yesterday on our live broadcast show.
4:28
When I saw the thousand young kids at University of Michigan standing online for hours in order to get a selfie with El-Sayed, he has managed to do something, John, hours that they stood online.

14 MINS LATER

19:05
When I
19:05
had the president on my show, when you know, you know, when I had, yeah, I've heard of that.
19:10
Number one, Nielsen rated weekend show.
4:28
Michael Cohen.
4:29
Bill, exactly.
4:30
The Democrats captured the message, the message of affordability.
4:36
And every time that Trump opened his mouth, all they did is refer back to gas, refer back to the fact that you've got to be 41 years of age in order to purchase a home.
4:46
And everything that they said came right back to the same message, and they hammered it home.
4:52
And that's why we're seeing what we're seeing right now.
3:45
Does the people in your party have any testicles?
3:48
No.
3:49
Not only do they not have that, they are so far off the reservation at this point in time that I don't recognize the Democratic Party that I have been affiliated to my entire life.
4:03
These Democratic Socialists, I don't ascribe to what they believe, and I will never allow my party to raise the hand of people like Hassan Piker or Graham Platner or AOC or any of them.

25 MINS LATER

29:00
Michael Cohen.
29:01
Hi, Miranda.
29:02
You know, one of the things, again, that we have to be careful is trying to pick apart who's who.
29:07
Who's on his side? Who's against his side? Obviously, we're going to know that very, very soon when the votes come in.
6:23
Michael Cohen.
6:24
Hi, Miranda.
6:25
You know, one of the things, again, that we have to be careful is trying to pick apart who's who.
6:31
Who's on his side? Who's against his side? Obviously, we're going to know that very, very soon when the votes come in.
6:37
But one thing I can tell you, if we have experienced daily the chaos as a result of the fighting between the Republicans and the Democrats, just wait to what it's going to look like when or if, God forbid, that the Democratic Party takes the House and or the Senate.
122:07
I do
122:08
want to say, Sid.
122:09
Yes, what's that? I came in and I took over the studio, knocking on your door.
122:13
I was with Caroline Schenkel since 6.30 this morning.
122:16
Literally got up at 4.30 in the morning.
122:17
I had to write my sub stack, the whole bit.
122:19
I got out there.
123:33
By
18:13
So Michael Cohen, what about the polls this time?
18:15
I'm going to go back to my original line of says who.
18:18
I don't believe the polls.
18:20
Look, how many times have I said that these polls are nonsensical? Nobody answers these polls the way the questions are framed and the number of people that are being questioned.
18:33
Oh, it's like a poll of 375 people.
18:36
What's 375 people going to tell you about all of, say, New York or the country? It doesn't give you anything.
18:43
They're not random people.

10 MINS LATER

29:09
You know that expression?
47:27
There will be.
47:28
Michael Cohen.
47:29
You know, I think what Bill was trying to refer to at the very beginning, I saw this in a newspaper article this morning.
47:35
I forget which one, but I never heard this term before, Bill.
47:38
Noxious optimism.
47:40
Have you ever heard of that term before where you will only look at things that ascribe to your ideology or what you want to believe to happen?

5 MINS LATER

53:05
By
53:05
the way, I'm a little afraid.
6:21
There will be.
6:22
Michael Cohen.
6:23
You know, I think what Bill was trying to refer to at the very beginning, I saw this in a newspaper article this morning.
6:29
I forget which one, but I never heard this term before, Bill.
6:32
Noxious optimism.
6:34
Have you ever heard of that term before where you will only look at things that ascribe to your ideology or what you want to believe to happen?

5 MINS LATER

11:59
By
11:59
the way, I'm a little afraid.
56:52
There will be.
56:53
Michael Cohen.
56:54
You know, I think what Bill was trying to refer to at the very beginning, I saw this in a newspaper article this morning.
57:00
I forget which one, but I never heard this term before, Bill.
57:03
Noxious optimism.
57:05
Have you ever heard of that term before where you will only look at things that ascribe to your ideology or what you want to believe to happen?

5 MINS LATER

62:29
By the
62:30
way, I'm a little afraid.
12:37
Because it's
12:38
factually accurate, Governor, right? I mean, of course it smells, it stinks.
12:44
It's an obvious ploy in order to confuse the electorate.
12:49
But, Governor, I want to ask you, it's Michael Cohen, I want to ask you a very simple question.
12:53
What do we really know about Dan Sullivan, the fake, right? What would we call him? The faux Sullivan.

7 MINS LATER

20:12
Michael
20:12
Cohen.
20:12
Hey, Ari, there's another part that goes to this where John was bringing up, you know, you can't find him.
7:13
Don't
7:13
you, Michael? How could you disagree with that statement? First, forget the fact it's coming from the judge.
7:18
Just because you're like the judge.
7:20
It's a fact.
7:22
This isn't something that's arguable.
7:25
This is the most consequential election.
7:28
Of our lifetimes.

29 MINS LATER

36:15
What do you think, Michael Cohen?
34:59
And Michael Cohen, your thoughts, too, about the importance of this moment of
35:03
voting.
35:05
You do not have, as Judge just said, you don't even have a choice at this point.
35:09
If you don't vote, if you stay home, in essence, you're casting a vote for the wrong side.
35:15
And that's going to come back to haunt people.
35:18
You know, we hear... election cycle after election cycle.
35:22
This is the most important election of your life.
37:50
And if they come out, it's a cost.
4:50
Michael
4:51
Cohen.
4:51
Hey, Ari, there's another part that goes to this where John was bringing up, you know, you can't find him.
4:57
And you, of course, with that great moniker, Dan on the Lamb.
5:01
If you can't find him, how do you serve him with the subpoena? Meaning that the election will already go through, even if, in fact, the correct Dan Sullivan wins.
5:11
It should not negate the consequences here.
34:56
And Michael Cohen, your thoughts, too, about the importance of this moment of
35:00
voting.
35:01
You do not have, as Judge just said, you don't even have a choice at this point.
35:06
If you don't vote, if you stay home, in essence, you're casting a vote for the wrong side.
35:12
And that's going to come back to haunt people.
35:14
You know, we hear... election cycle after election cycle.
35:19
This is the most important election of your life.
37:47
And if they come out, it's a numbers game.
2:44
Everyone's talking about it today.
2:46
Look, while I'd love to expand upon Alaska, I'd really like to stick to here, just New York, for a quick second.
2:55
Sure.
2:56
I watch as these poll numbers keep getting released every time you turn on the television.
3:02
It's another poll, another poll, another poll.
3:04
Then I read something today.
3:07
It's 1% response.

18 MINS LATER

21:16
Michael
8:46
Michael
8:47
Cohen.
8:47
Nicole, hey, it's Mike Cohen.
8:49
I wanted to say it's always easy to look to the things that, I don't know, aren't going as great as they could.
8:56
There's always room, as my dad always says, there's always room for improvement.
9:00
I wish that you and other Republicans would literally just concentrate on the successes that you and this administration have been successful in accomplishing.
9:12
Talk about, for example, the border.
11:00
Not
6:07
There is something going on here, and they don't want to be part of it.
6:11
Because it's factually accurate, Governor, right? I mean, of course it smells, it stinks.
6:18
It's an obvious ploy in order to confuse the electorate.
6:23
But, Governor, I want to ask you, it's Michael Cohen, I want to ask you a very simple question.
6:27
What do we really know about Dan Sullivan, the fake, right? What would we call him, the faux Sullivan?
6:35
Have we seen him? Where is he? What is
6:37
he up to? What is he doing? Have you had an opportunity even to serve him with a subpoena? Give us some info, if you can, on where he is, what he's doing, because nobody seems to believe that he's even out there campaigning.
19:39
Donald Trump
19:40
is 80 years old.
19:41
The guy's got energy like nobody I've really ever met.
19:44
Maybe other than John Katzmatini.
19:45
I was going to say, those are the two.
19:47
It's true.
19:48
They have incredible energy.

20 MINS LATER

Jose Santamaria
Jose SantamariaCORRESPONDENT
39:21
It's clear, in my opinion, election manipulation.
9:17
It's clear, in my opinion, election manipulation.
9:20
Well, you know, we heard John talk about how the Polish president said there's no way he's going to allow his country to be invaded.
9:29
You know who else actually said the exact same thing? Yeah, exactly.
9:33
President Donald J. Trump said the same thing.
9:35
That's why they get along so well.
9:36
Exactly.
9:37
Because they're all going to stand up for our culture, our values.
10:05
Smashing
6:39
And I really think he thinks that that's what America thinks.
6:44
A good part of the reason he's run for president, why he ran again, is to go to these rallies and to get validation from his audiences that is what motivates him more than anything else that's why he does so many of these events because they are validating and affirming to him and they are ways of of you know sort of filling the limitless void that exists in his soul so i think that's one part of that's one part of what is going on here i think he is you know again he is just trying to stroke his ego The second thing about Iran, I mean, he is, again, living in a world of total delusion about what is happening in Iran.
7:19
And he's trying to keep spinning this.
7:21
This is something Trump's always done.
7:22
He always tries to spin reality.
7:25
But it's just getting harder and harder for him to do it.
7:28
And on Iran, there is no good, you know, way to look at this conflict right now.

10 MINS LATER

18:00
Where are you on this? Do you think Democrats win it? if you
7:34
And I think I really think he thinks that that's what America thinks.
7:39
A good part of the reason he is running for president, why he ran again.
7:43
is to go to these rallies and to get validation from his audiences.
7:48
That is what motivates him more than anything else.
7:51
That's why he does so many of these events, because they are validating and affirming to him, and they are ways of sort of filling the limitless void that exists in his soul.
8:01
So I think that's one part of what is going on here.
8:04
I think he is, again, he is just trying to stroke his ego.

12 MINS LATER

19:52
Where are you on this? Do you think Democrats win it?
24:36
It's not an innocent organization.
24:37
But how is that even possible? How can we ascribe, how can anybody with any seichel, right? Sorry about that, El-Sayed, right? Seichel meaning brains.
24:46
How is it possible that anybody can turn around and believe that Sharia law should become the dominant law in America? It is antithetical to our Constitution.

6 MINS LATER

30:50
Remember the guy who, like, plowed into the synagogue who had the Hezbollah ties? He seems to be making excuses, Michael.
30:57
And how many times have we heard Trump talk about the media and how that they're fake news, that they don't provide information that's accurate? This is the problem.
31:08
The media is not pressing al-Sayed on something that – Even you clearly have all the documentation.
31:17
You have done the research.
31:19
If you've done the research and you put it out there like here on WABC, how is it possible that the media is not pushing this forward? This is significant.
2:05
You can't
2:05
leave it up to just one person, right? Rita, you and I were talking about it sounded like Trump's voice is a little bit tired, but how could it not be? He's out there seven days a week for the last like two and a half weeks out there yelling and screaming and doing what he needs to do to rile the base.
2:23
And what are they doing? They're sitting back, yeah, we need to get out and vote.
2:28
We don't vote, we're going to lose.
2:31
That's not the way to win Texas and to win.
2:35
This is really close.

30 MINS LATER

32:14
Remember the guy who like plowed into the synagogue who had the Hezbollah ties? He seems to be making excuses, Michael.
32:21
And how many times have we heard Trump talk about the media and how that they're fake news, that they don't provide information that's accurate? This is the problem.
62:43
going to be weeks.
62:44
Michael Cohen, anything new? Any breaking news before we go to a break? Breaking news, none at all.
62:49
I'm listening and I'm watching.
62:51
Where's the president right now? He's in Texas.
62:54
He's traveling again.
62:55
You know, I have to be honest.
62:56
Thank God that they have him.
62:58
And I truly mean this because I watched as the others there in Texas were giving their speeches in advance.
