What context do Don Lemon and Michael Cohen give at the start of the episode?
The Lemon Cohen Report. He wants it to be the Cohen Lemon Report, but I big-footed him.
Yes, you most certainly did, by the way. And that's why you're sporting the Lemon Nation hat. You like that, huh? I'm digging it, by the way. Yeah, thank you. When I see you out in the Hamptons over the weekend, I'm going to steal it if it's on your head.
Look, you can have it. All you have to do is go to DonLemon.com and click on Merch. And it's right there.
Okay. All right. Hey, listen. I kind of like the one that was on your head, but that's, you know, because then it has the story to it. You know, hey, where'd you get that hat? I sold it off Lemon's head. Oh, really? Yeah, I bought it in his merch store. I get it.
No, I'll give you this one and I'll get a new one. How about that?
Good looking hat. I'm going to buy it myself.
You know what I'm going to give it to you? I'm going to give it to you because I was watching your thing with Michael Wolff and I agree with Michael Wolff on one thing. I agree with him on a lot of things, but this one thing is that you have a unique relationship and insight on this Donald Trump. I don't know if necessarily on this administration, but on his thinking and the way he operates. And even though I think the Jeffrey Epstein thing was before you, you can still offer some knowledge. And here we are, him trying to distract the Wall Street Journal, getting, you know, hammered by him. He's saying he's going to sue and now he's trying to push them out of the briefings and the White House press pool.
Yeah. So, you know, the one thing that Donald Trump definitively stands for, believe it or not, is consistency. Over the course of many, many years, Trump has basically seen many different scenarios and how he ultimately handles these new ones. You could reflect back upon history. Like the old adage goes, history tends to repeat itself.
Yeah.
So let's just turn around and talk about the... We'll start off with the Jeffrey Epstein file. We know now for about a period of seven years, they have been talking about how the Democratic elite cabal have been involved in this... this sex trafficking scenario, very similar to the Pizzagate scandal of years ago. Now, that, according to Trump, they were going to release the full set of law enforcement FBI files, whereby, mom's in the background. Hey there, mom.
Yeah.
You never know what's going to pop up onto the set of the Lemon Cohen report. My God. So what ultimately happens is he claims that he's going to release both the Martin Luther King Jr. file he did, parts of the JFK file they did. But the question and the part that bothers me the most is why not release the full unredacted law enforcement file on Jeffrey Epstein? And while I will be very transparent on this, I have taken a very different position than most in our sphere. I don't believe that Trump's involvement into it is as deep as most of these conspiracy theorists are saying. The problem is that conspiracy theorists are never satisfied. They always want more. Oh, Don Lemon this. And you're like, oh, you know, that's kind of fucked up.
And then all of a sudden it's like, no, no, no. It could even be this. And why I say this, D, is because I lived through it. You remember, you and I had so many conversations offline about it when I was allegedly in Prague paying off Russian compromise with $10 million in cash in order to benefit Paul Manafort. And I went and I showed, for example, the Daily Beast and they photographed my passport. And I say, I've never been to the Czech Republic. I've never been to Prague. I've never been to that part of the world. They were like, well... We need to figure out how you got there. Maybe you traveled with a second passport. I said, I only have one passport, an American passport. Maybe you flew under someone's name in a private plane or what have you.
The problem is with conspiracy theorists, you can never satisfy them. Oh, well, here I was in L.A. And they said, well, how do we know you're in L.A.? Go speak to the baseball coach that I was there at USC.
