1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: All right, should I pay this off? Um, everybody's going

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: insane here, Linda. You watching all this? Yea, I don't

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. There's nothing going on. No,

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: there's nothing going on. We know we bombed Syria and anyway,

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: So New York today had a big, big hearing. Stormy

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Daniels was in their Stormy Daniels attorney was in there,

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: and I guess that Michael Cohen had to list the

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: people that we're that he's done some work with or whatever.

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what the full thing was that actually

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: went on there. So I've known Michael a long long time,

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: and let me be very clear to the media, Michael

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: never represented me in any matter. I never retained him

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: in the in the traditional sense as of retaining a lawyer.

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: I never received an invoice from Michael. I never paid

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: legal fees to Michael. But I have occasionally had brief

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: discussions with him about legal question is about which I

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: wanted his input and perspective. And I assume that those

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: conversations were attorney client confidential. Uh. But and the other

19
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: thing I will I will need to point out to

20
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: the media that is apparently going insane over this, not

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: one of any issue I ever dealt with Michael Cone

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: on ever ever involved a matter between me and any

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: third party. Now, I have eight attorneys that I use

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: for varying things in my life, and in this particular case,

25
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, I like to have people that I can

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: run questions by, and Michael very generously would give me

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: his time, and we'd always say okay, attorney client, yeah, good, okay, good,

28
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: and I'd ask him a legal question and that's it.

29
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: And um, I don't think that, you know, I don't

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: think that that is that complicated. How did this blow

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: up to be such a big deal. I never had

32
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: any case with him and anything involved any third party,

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: none whatsoever. Why do you think the media is going

34
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: insane with us? I mean, let's think about it this

35
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: way too, Shan. I mean, how many attorneys do we

36
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: have on the show? I mean, expert upon expert. We

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: bring people on the show that are experts in their field,

38
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: whether it's someone like Alan Dershowitz, someone like David Shown,

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: people who have represented the A C l use of

40
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: or liberties, whether we're talking about people who are on

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: our side of the field, you know, and they want

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: to defend certain things that are happening for the GOP

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: whatever it is. We have varying experts on the show,

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: and that's just the way that it is. If you

45
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: have a question before you go on the air and

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: you want to say, hey, is this the right way

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: to say this or what's the legal least for this?

48
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that, And for them to make

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: it seem as if it's something that it's not just

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: shows their desperation to just pull the narrative away from

51
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: the good things that had attorney client privilege because I

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: asked him for that, and you know, but he never

53
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: sent me a bill or an invoice or did I

54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: actually right? But they want to make it seem like

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: it's something nefarious. There's nothing nefarious. People retain attorneys all

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: the time for all sorts of things, whether it's a

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: simple question and whether it's to find out their their

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: expertise on something, whether it's to find out their advice

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: on something. We definitely, we definitely would say attorney client

60
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: when I would ask him something in an illegal frame,

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: but I never used it was never used, Michael, in

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: any case that involved any matter between me and a

63
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: third party. Ever. I'll tell you what I tell you

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: why they're going nuts because they're assuming because I guess

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: he did some type of Um, I guess he did

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: some type of work for some Republican guys. So he's figuring, Oh,

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: he must have did a big settlement case for Hannity.

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: That's not no, that's not whatdn't happened. Ever, it's pretty

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: with any matter between me and any third party that

70
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: was no. Like, for example, I have all sorts of lawyers,

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: some of which people would know their names. I just

72
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: think it's hilarious that, you know, I have fifteen million

73
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: messages flying in and emails flying in even as we speak. Oh,

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I know I have them too. But by the way,

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: I think that it just shows that Michael was doing

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: his dude diligence and being totally thorough about anybody that

77
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: he might have had attorney client privilege with. But I mean,

78
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: in terms of anything of any significance, none, zero. I mean,

79
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: what else can you say except that, Okay, I never

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: gave him a retainer, never received an invoice, never paid

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: any any fees. You know, I might have handed him

82
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: ten bucks. I definitely want attorney client privilege on this.

83
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: Something like that. I requested that privilege with him when

84
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: I would ask him, well this just came up, what

85
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: do you think about this, or what do you think

86
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: about that? I assumed, and obviously he assumed and he

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: kept his word that they were confidential on attorney client.

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: But I never had any matter with him between me

89
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: and any third party. How is it possible that NBC

90
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: and ABC goes absolutely and an MSNBC and and CNN

91
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: goes absolutely off the rails over a simple thing like that.

92
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: It's really unfortunate. They are just trying to drive this

93
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: Komy Mueller narrative as far as they can take it,

94
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 1: and they'll take anybody down that they can with it.

95
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't the truth is irrelevant anymore, Attorney client privilege irrelevant,

96
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: None of it matters anymore. Yeah, that's true, very sad.

97
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty unbelievable. Where are we living? You

98
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: know what it is, They're just they're always hoping for

99
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: the worst, and when it relates to any conservative, I'm

100
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: just always hoping for the worst. They don't want. Yeah,

101
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: but not for nothing, Sean, in this particular situation, there's

102
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: just there's nothing there. You know, you asked the guy

103
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: for advice, or you asked the guy for his opinion

104
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: and you want his legal expertise, and that's it. Here's

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: here's a question for you. You know me, and how

106
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: many attorneys that you know of that I have. I

107
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: have contract attorneys. I have all sorts of attorneys, tons

108
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: of attorneys, and we use them on a regular basis

109
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: for your personal for your business, for on air, for TV,

110
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: for radio. It is infuriating to watch this. It really

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: is all right. I appreciate it. Uh One Shan is

112
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: a toll free telephone number if you want to be

113
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: a part of our program.
