what you heard, and what s going to the public. what i heard is awesome. thank you very much. thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. happy to have you here. so once upon a time, not all that long ago in the grand scheme of things, but once upon a time the biggest celebrities in america were pilots. you know how time magazine has person of the year, used to be man of the year? time magazine actually invented that whole idea because of a pilot. they figured they needed to do something because in 1927 the pilot charles lindbergh became the first person to fly nonstop solo across the atlantic ocean. he became the biggest celebrity in the world for doing that. there were parades held for him and international prizes and all kinds of honors. he instantly became the most famous man in the world when he did that in 1927. and so that is where time got the whole man of the year thing in the first place. they invented it specifically for him. amelia earhart was th
Bringing it up . But like maybe you trust me enough to stick with me through it. Tonight is one of those nights. I fully concede this is going to start off seeming very, very much out of nowhere. But i swear, it is on the days news and if you bear with me for just a second, i will make it make sense. Okay. One of those nights. Here we go. Ready . Meet this guy. The most highly paid nazi agent in the United States in the leadup to world war ii. His job here was to spread propaganda for the nazis in the United States. This guy was charged and convicted of being a nazi agent in the u. S. And he was a relatively well known figure so it was relatively big news when he was charged and convicted. Made the front page of the new york times, for example. But the bigger scandal about him was that he got a whole bunch of members of congress to participate in this Propaganda Thing that hitler was paying him to do. Members of congress were involved with him, lots of them. Then he was indicted a seco
Decade doing trumps dirty work. Credibility issues are why the prosecution used the 20 witnesses who proceeded cohen to basically corroborate his story before they even put him on the stand. It is also why trumps defense team has singlemindedly sought to state their case on discrediting him. Even in cases that might not be read crucial to rebutting the prosecution. For that reason the defense may think they racked up a victory for themselves today because during the crossexamination this morning, cohen admitted that he stole from the trump organization. In addition to the reimbursement for the hush money for stormie daniels, cohen was also given 50,000. That money was supposed to be a repayment for what cohen spent to hire a tech from to rig an online poll on trumps behalf. We dont have time to get into that detail. But as cohen said on the stand, he only paid trump 20,000 and kept the rest for himself. Asked point blank today whether he stole from the trump organization, cohen said, y
With him realized that what they had done with him working with o convicted nazi agent, they realized what they had done wita him was probably going to come out at that trial and that would be a bad look, so they decided to take action. One particularly powerful senator who was implicated in p this thing went to the attorneyi general and basically threatened the Attorney General that he would tie the doj up in knots, he would go after the Attorney General himself unless the Attorney General fired the prosecutor who was leading this case. And the senator had kind of a hook for doing this. The prosecutor he wanted fired had just been criticized by the court because when he was n prosecuting that nazi agent, th court said he spoke with basically too much passion, witk too much emotion about that defendant in front of the jury. So the prosecutor had been criticized in court. That was the hook they used for going after him. And you know, thats not exactly a Capital Offense as a prosecutor.

Members of congress were involved with him. Lots of them. Then he was indicted a second time, the same guy. And the first time it was for being a nazi agent. The second time it was not just for him personally being a nazi agent, it was a much bigger indictment. For him being part of a large, Seditious Conspiracy against the United States. And that is when members of congress who had been working with him
