You see her quiet evil satisfaction, while she was knowingly watching, her her husband senator wind up and do his thing. It is a brilliant scene. It is brilliant just in terms of the rioting and in terms of what is happening in the plot, but its brilliant in the terms of how it shot. Even though she is in the room with him while he is causing the scene, she is physically in the same spaces him, you can see the way its shot that shes not actually looking at him in person. She is paying attention to the screen, which you can also see in her field of vision. On the screen, she can see what he looks like on camera, on live television, as he pulls off this stunt in a congressional hearing room with the secretary of defense. It is such a great scene and, yes, the guy, you will recognize halfway into it, is in fact Frank Sinatra and he is amazing in this movie. This has been my favorite movies since i was a teenager for this reason. Just watch this. Mister secretary. I have a question sir. We who are you sir . I am United States advisor. I have a question so serious with that the safety of our nation may well depend on your answer. We who . We know evasions Mister Secretary no evasions. If you please, sir.

I demand an answer, Mister Secretary there will be no covering up,. Sir what . No covering up. You see angela in the foreground, she has no Speaking Role in that scene, but shes watching it playing on the screen. She is, on paper, in terms of the facial action of what is happening in that scene, she is just an observer. But you can see her coolly nodding along as this is playing as the room erupts into chaos, as he makes this incredible allegation, the target of his allegation who has no idea what hes talking about, maybe cannot here, maybe does not recognize them. Such a great scene. That is in the manchurian candidate, angelas character gets her senator husband, that is how she starts him on this set to become internationally famous and on track for the presidency. The plot takes very many turns from there. Its a fantastic movie, one of the greats. And that character, not angelas character of the scheming wife who is controlling everything, but this senator, the loud senator who has an amazing voice, with a low list of communists, Whatever Else was going on in that movie, that role, the role of johnny eyes lynn, that senator, was very much based in reality. In the decade before the manchurian candidate came out, it was real life senator jon mccarthy of wisconsin, who really did stuff like that. Thats joe mccarthy at the microphone. We next to him in the previous still was roy cohen. On february 9th, John Mccarthy at the microphone in february night 1950, mccarthy gave a speech to a republican womans club in West Virginia. In which he really did wave around a piece of paper and say he had a list of communists on it. Newspapers quoted him saying, that West Virginia meeting in 1950, i have here in my hand a list of 205 names that were made known to the Secretary Of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the states a department. He pulled that stunt and it was a hit it caused a sensation. He then kept doing it. All his subsequent appearances, suddenly mccarthy could not keep total track of the supposed number of communists he had on the paper. Sometimes he would say 205 communists, sometimes he would say its 81, sometimes it was 57. [laughs] people didnt really care about the specifics, the turned out. But it seemed good that he had a specific number, even if the specific number changed all the time. Mccarthy wrote that thing for us long as he could. For about four years. Destroying countless lives in the process. Mccarthy made wild accusations that played great in the press and got him lots of attention, without him ever proving that there were any supposed communists in the State Department that he read it out. Look senator joe mccarthy got very famous. As i said, he wrote this for about four years until the weight of it all collapsed on him. He tried the same trick that he he tried it on the actual u. S. Army in 1954, also around that time the senator had been ensnared in mccarthys web, committed suicide, this senator committed suicide. By the end of 1954, fellow senators and other people in the country decided they have enough. Joe mccarthy was censored by the u. S. Senate senate. He was censured 16 to 22 for his ethical failures as a u. S. Senator, for bringing the senate into disrepute, the censure vote was held in december of 1954. Two and a half years later, in 1957 he was dead. He was dead at the right bold age at 47. The legacy of joe mccarthy is dark. And he died young. He was already gone by the time we were the grappling with it culturally in films like this one, in the early 19 sixties. Films like the manchurian candidate in the 19 sixties. And Joe Mccarthys absence the once he was gone from the scenes, was his top aide the joe mccarthy lawyer and staffer who was always by his side, who was considered to be his Grand Inquisitor for his stunts on capitol hill. It was that young lawyer who had pointed out a few minutes ago as roy cone. He played a role in the prosecution of rosenberg who work considered as spies. During the trial when he was serving as part of the prosecution, which is a serious we of trial ethics. It came too late to save the rosenbergs. We he was in the early wave of the 19 fifties. After Senator Mccarthy was disgraced, and censured, and he died young, the cone went on to a high profile life as a bottom of the barrel lawyer. He went on to be a trusted lawyer of the Italian Mafia new york. He became the lawyer for the Trump Organization, the trump family business, and part of his close relationship with donald trump we who was initially friends with his father until his death. He sued the trump at organization fors coming up with the idea of the Trump Organization counter suing the u. S. Justice department 400 million. That will show them the around that time in his career, the cohn found himself criminally indicted three separate times in the 19 sixties and early seventies including for allegations he paid the prosecutor a 50,000 dollar bribe. Cohn was criminally indicted three times, never convicted. But then, 35 years ago to, Ali Carr Cohn made Front Page News that he must not have liked. A new york court has cohn for professional misconduct. The 59 year old attorney is known for representing rich and prominent clients. He was an aide to senator joe mccartney. They called his conduct unprofessional, and reprehensible. That was 35 years ago today. Cohn among other things, Donald Trumps lawyer, was disbarred in the state of new york 35 years ago, today. On the date, 35 years ago, cohn gave the New York Post a response. He said, i feel less concerned about this as if heldmans had called me to say they had come out with a new brand of mayonnaise. I couldnt care less. It does not bother me in the least. The among other things, a reason why cohn got disbarred is the court had found that he had taken for himself 200,000 for himself. We they found that he had quote, borrowed 100,000 from a client for 20 years. The he said that he borrowed it and also always intended to pay back. The court also found that cohn had entered the Florida Hospital room of a dying multi millionaire, founder of the shelleys distillers empire. H 84 he was seen all, semi comatose, and drugged. He took his hand to sign a Document Naming Cohn as a coexecutor of his will. After falsely telling him that it dealt with his divorce. The guy was nearly comatose, senile, and drugged. Cohn showed up in his Hospital Room and held his hand to try to forge his signature for him to sign over his estate to him. Nice guy, right . The court held 27 days of hearings on your cohn case decided whether it was permanently disbarred. There was a Character Protests on mr. Cohn you trump appeared in person as a Character Richness for you cohn before he was disbarred, while he was disbarred. And cohn said of course that he did not care, he cared less about that the new brand of mayonnaise. He was disbarred by the end of june in 1986. He was dead by the month of august, he had been closeted his whole life, it is believed that he died of aids. He maintained until the end that he did not have aids. They said he had liver cancer instead, but thats not likely what he died from. 35 years ago, today, Donald Trumps lawyer cohn was disbarred for deceit and misrepresentation. One of the side of the Trump Presidency and the russia investigation, was that we learned a lot about how much donald trump as president used to wax rhapsodic about how much he missed cohn and how much he wished his current lawyers were more like. This example is from the long sought congressional testimony which happened finally in Congress Just a couple of weeks ago. Quote, did the president raised the issue of why you took notes during the meetings . Answer, yes, he asked why do i take notes . What was your reaction to that . This side of the story is. Why these notes . Lawyers never take notes. And i said, look, i take notes because im a real lawyer, lawyers take notes, its a way to take track of things. And he wrote, the cohn apparently never took notes. Questions, well it was your understanding that great lawyers like cohn did not take notes . And he answered, yes. Not only did i hear that, i knew that the. It was not the first time that the ghost of cohn came into the office. He is the president , he gets the last word. Question, what was your reaction to being compared to roy cone . My reaction, this was not the first time. I did not want to be compared to him. Why not . I did not want to be compared to cohn in any way, shape, or form. Understand he was a brilliant lawyer in certain ways, but he had ethical trouble in his career. And by ethical trouble do you mean he was ultimately despite for unethical combat conduct . Yes. I might have mentioned that at some point during these exchanges, cohn was not really my role model. So saying i was no cohn, in a way thats good. He does not think that im that kind of lawyer. Question, the president was suggesting they should be more like cohn who was a great lawyer, correct . I think youre ready made his point that he had a fondness for cohn the. On this day 35 years ago, cohn was disbarred. Ago, another one of trumps prt personal lawyers who was disbarred in this case was convicted of multiple felonies including the Hush Money Scheme that prosecutors said that he was directed to commit by former President Trump. They called individual one in this case. So president s trumps personal lawyer Michael Cohen was disbarred. And today on the 35 Year Anniversary of his department, we have another personal attorney for donald trump being suspended. Suspended by the state of new york from the Practice Of Law and the proceeding will decide whether or not he is permanently disbarred. Giuliani is law license was suspended today. They said, quote, we conclude that there is uncontroversial at evidence that responded communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers, and the public at large, and his capacity of lawyer for former President Donald Trump in the trump complain, and his effort of reelection in 2020. These statements were meant to improperly bolster this false narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 Units Knighted states president election we concluded that it threatens the Public Interest and warrants interim suspension from Practice Of Law pending further proceedings. This is important, giulianis license to practice law is suspended, he is not permanently disbarred, at least not at this point. He might have hearings before the court at which he can contest this decision to see his law license reinstated. But the court today went out of their way in this unanimous opinion to say that they do not think that he is going to prevail, even after there are hearings. They said, quote, we find that there is evidence of continuing misconduct the underlying offense is incredibly serious and the uncontroversial Add Misconduct in itself will likely result in substantial permanent sanctions at the conclusion of these disciplinary proceedings. Substantial with this is an interim suspension, but if we get to the end of this, hes likely to be disbarred. I think that is almost hard to wrap your head around, just in terms of history here, is the consistency overtime. How we has Rudy Giuliani is founder of done, which she law cyst his lost license for, how much of it is we cohn got famous for it in the 19 fifties to do this with mccarthy. Go back to the movie, do you see Johnny Iceland in the movie. He is quoting mccarthy in real life. He is talking about the exact number of communist that hes ferreted out, that he knows the truth about, and that he demands answers for. Even if you can keep the numbers straight, since he had made them up, it sounds good when he Site Specific numbers. It sounds even better if you can remember what the number was we [laughs] its a mix good effect. But giuliani lost his law license today, its actually the same thing. The court today found that he, for example, madeup wildly different, inconsistent, and all fake numbers of supposedly dead people, who supposedly voted in philadelphia. Quote, respondent repeatedly stated that dead people voted in philadelphia in order to discredit votes in that city. He quantified the amount of dead people who voted at various times as 8021, while also reporting the number of 30,000. The [laughs] mr. Giuliani, according to the court, also made up wildly divergent, totally different, very specific members of allegedly under age, illegal voters in the state of georgia. Quote, at various times to respond acclaim 66, 000, or 165,000 underage voters illegally voted in the georgia 2020 election. The Georgia Office of the Secretary Of State undertook an investigation of this claim. It compared the list of all the people who voted in georgia to the full birthdays. The audit revealed that there were zero underage voters in the 2020 election. Though a small number of orders, four, had requested a ballad prior to turning 18, they all turned 18 by the time the election was held. Mr. Giuliani also, apparently, madeup specific, but wildly divergent, and all fake numbers of supposedly dead voters in georgia. Quote, responded stated that claimed he had the names of 800 dead people who voted based upon the number of people who passed away in 2020. Responded further stated that this number was not 800, it was really in the thousands. At another point he claimed that 6000 dead people had voted law. Under on december 20. We sorry, on december 2nd lap 22nd, he stated that 6000 of people voted. Not a month later, on january 3rd, 2021, during an episode of uncovering the truth, responded stated that 10,515 dead people voted. Two days later, On January 5th Car responded stated that 800 or more lifted people voted in the georgia election. Imagine key. Law [laughs] in late december, its 6000 of people. And then a week or so later, on someone else is podcast its 10,515 people. And he comes back two days later, its actually 800 people. I have in my hand a number of 205 known communists in my hand 42 known communists how many am i supposed to say . 40 known communists Rudy Giuliani. Rudy giuliani, at some point, was number three official in the United States department of justice. Rudy giuliani was of course the mayor of new york city. He was, of course, u. S. Attorney in winnie york. He is now under federal criminal investigation in the office that he used to lead. As of today, he is no longer able to practice law in the state of new york.
