Trump Insider Cohen Exposes Plan To Jail Rivals In 2020 | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

HEAR FROM A DICTATOR OR AUTO CAT. >> YOU’RE SAYING, MICHAEL, THIS IS IMPORTANT. YOU’RE SAYING BASED ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE HOW HE WORKS, THIS IS NOT JUST MORE CHATTER. WE JUST WERE TALKING TO HIS NIECE ABOUT DISTRACTION, WHICH AS YOU’RE SAYING, THIS IS PART OF A PLAN IF HE DOESN’T GET WHAT HE WANTS OUT OF THE ELECTION, HE WANTS TO PUSH BARR TO WHAT? >> TO START INDICTING PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY I GUESS PEOPLE WORKING AT THE BALLOTS. YOU WILL RECALL ARI THAT I SAID OVER 19 MONTHS AGO WHEN I TESTIFIED BEFORE THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE THERE WILL NEVER BE A PEACEFUL TRANSITION OF POWER BY TRUMP AND I WAS RIGHT. EVERYBODY IS USING THE SAME EXACT LANGUAGE. 19 MONTHS AGO I SAID IT BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND TRUMP. TRUMP HAS TASTED WHAT HE DEEMS TO BE THE ULTIMATE POWER. NOT THE ULTIMATE POWER FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BUT THE ULTIMATE POWER FOR HIMSELF AND HE HAS NO INTEREST AND NO INTENT ON GIVING IT UP WITHOUT A HECK OF A FIGHT NOW HE HAS BILL BARR ON HIS SIDE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER HE SAID, I.E. PUTTING ME IN PRISON BECAUSE I REFUSE TO WAVE MY FIRST AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT NOT PUBLICSHED A BOOK BUT HE’S RECKLESS WITH POWER AND THAT’S REALLY THE BIG PROBLEM. >> YEAH, AND THAT’S A PART OF ALL OF THIS AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THIS SECOND DEBATE AND OTHER NEWS WE’RE SEEING TODAY OUT OF MICHIGAN AND VIOLENCE AND ALLEGED PLOTS TO KIDNAP PEOPLE. WE’LL GET TO THAT. ON THE COVID -- >> DIDN’T HE ALSO SAID -- ARI, SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU. >> GO AHEAD. >> DIDN’T HE SAY HE’S NOT GOING TO DO THE SECOND DEBATE BECAUSE HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IN VIRTUAL DEBATES? >> HE -- WELL, YEAH. >> HE’S GOING TO HOST A RALLY? >> HE’S CLAIMING, HE’S CLAIMING HE WON’T DO VIRTUAL. HE DID VIRTUAL WITH FOX NEWS. >> HE DID IT ONCE BEFORE AND CLAIMED HE RAISED $6 MILLION FOR THE VETERANS, WHICH WAS NOT TRUE AND HE TOOK THANK GOODNESS TO SOME FINE JOURNALIST IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO DISH OUT THE MONEY THAT WAS IN THE TRUMP FOUNDATION, BUT NO, I BELIEVE HE DOES NOT WANT TO DEBATE. HE DID A TERRIBLE JOB THE LAST TIME, THOUGH, WHY PUT HIMSELF THROUGH THAT WHEN HE’S ALREADY DOWN IN THE POLLS? >> VERY INTERESTING. I ALSO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT OF COURSE WE MENTIONED TRUMP’S PENSION FOR SECRECY LIMITING MEDICAL CARE. THAT MEANT THAT TWO QUALIFIED DOCTORS WERE BARRED FROM TREATING HIM BECAUSE THEY BALKED IS THE SECRECY CONTRACTS, A PATTERN FROM TAXES TO HOW TRUMP HAS DEPLOYED, OF COURSE, OUR GUEST TONIGHT MICHAEL COHEN WHO WAS HIS PERSONAL LAWYER RANGING AS HUSH PAYMENTS TO STORMY DAN KEL YS DANIELS. TRUMP HID HIS NAME DAVID DENNIS SON AND REFUSED TO SIGN AND THE PAST MATTERS WHEN THOSE MEASURES FAIL AND IT BECAME PUBLIC, A TURNING POINT AS MICHAEL, I’M SURE YOU REMEMBER IS TRUMP TELLING A LIE THAT THE EVIDENCE LATER REBUTTED. HE CLAIMED HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND EVERYONE SHOULD DOES ASK MICHAEL. TAKE A LOOK. >> WE HAVE TO ASK MICHAEL COHEN. >> MICHAEL, WE KNOW AS I MENTIONED THAT HE DID NOT WHAT WAS GOING ON. WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE POINT HERE FOR VOTERS TO ASSES SECRECY ON TAXES, SECRECY ON HEALTH CARE, SECRECY ON HIS PERSONAL DEALINGS? >> WELL, I THINK YOU FORGOT ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING THAT I TALK ABOUT QUITE A BIT IN THE BOOK DISLOYAL. THE FACT THAT HE TASKED ME TO KEEP HIS GRADES STARTING FROM NEW YORK MILITARY ACADEMY TO UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA AND TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THREATS OF SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC ROOM IN THE EVENT THAT THEY FAILED TO KEEP HIS DOCUMENT, FORGET ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE, HIS SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENT SECRET. AND THEY DO THAT FOR EVERYONE ANYWAY BUT HE WANTED TO MAKE DOUBLE SURE WHICH IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING GOING ON HERE AT WALTER REED. DOCTORS DO NOT RELEASE INFORMATION. WE KNOW WE HAVE THIS HIPPA AND THEY JUST DON’T RELEASE INFORMATION. HE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT IF YOU SPEAK ABOUT MY MEDICAL CONDITION AND THE ON REASON HE’S AFRAID, HE’S IN HORRIFIC SHAPE. HE HAS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. HIGH COALHOLESTEROL AND THAT WOU CONTRADICT WHAT HE HAD AN EARLIER DOCTOR SAY DONALD TRUMP IS THE FITTEST PRESIDENT THAT WE’VE EVER HAD. >> DID YOU THINK HIS GRADES WERE LOW -- >> JOGGING -- I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY WERE LOW. >> YEAH. SO THAT GOES TO THE BASIC INFERENCE HERE, WHICH IS HIDING THE THINGS THAT LOOK BAD IN THAT BACK AND FORTH LITIGATION, ULTIMATELY ABOUT THE DONALD TRUMP AND HUSH PAYMENT, YOU TRUMP AND HUSH PAYMENT, YOU SPARRED WITH MICHAEL AVENUE NOT TEE HE SPOKE OUT AS WELL I’M SURE YOU REMEMBER SOONER OR LATER AND LEARNED OF IT DURING YOUR ORDEAL. TAKE A LOOK. >> I THINK TIME IS RUNNING OUT ON MICHAEL COHEN. >> YOU’RE SAYING MICHAEL COHEN IN YOUR VIEW IS LIKELY TO BE ARRESTED AT THE END OF THE SUMMER? >> YES. >> MICHAEL COHEN IS NEITHER A HERO OR PATRIOT. HE LIED FOR MONTHS ON END ABOUT HIS CRIMINAL CONDUCT AND THE ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. HE DESERVES EVERY DAY OF THE 36 MONTH SENTENCE. >> MR. AVENATTI SINCE SPENT TIME IN PRISON AWAITING TRIAL AND HE’S FACING SERIOUS CHARGES HIMSELF. YOUR RESPONSE? >> WELL, AS YOU-ALL KNOW, MY CHARGES STEM FROM LYING TO CONGRESS AND CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATION AMONG OTHER THINGS WHERE I PLEAD GUILTY TO A TAX EVASION CHARGE THAT WOULD NOT BE A TAX EVASION CHARGE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT I WAS MICHAEL COHEN AND THEY NEEDED THEIR CONVICTION AND THEY NEEDED TO PUT SOMETHING IN THAT WAS NOT RELATED TO DONALD TRUMP. UNLIKE MR. AVENATTI WHO STOLE MONEY FROM PEOPLE. I’VE NEVER OWED A DOLLAR TO ANYBODY. THE JUDGE HIMSELF EVEN STATED THERE IS NO ECONOMIC LOSS TO ANY INDIVIDUAL OR ANY INSTITUTION EVER IN MY LIFE AND MINE IS ALL SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MY PROXIMITY TO TRUMP. HIS PROBLEMS STEM FROM HIS OWN CORRUPT BEHAVIOR AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE IS HAPPY I WAS
