What was the Al Smith white‑tie dinner and why did it spark controversy?

Unknown 0:00
You know, during the first and only debate President Trump talked about migrants taking cats and eating them. You know, if you're keeping track at home. This is the second time grabbing a kitty has been part of a campaign issue.
Unknown 0:24
You know
Amy Dorris 0:27
And so it's about leaving that out.
Unknown 0:29
I w I was gonna leave that out.
Ben Meiselas 0:34
So that was from the Al Smith dinner in Manhattan. And the host, the comedian, was making fun of Donald Trump for sexually assaulting women, and also for saying that migrants are actually here illegally, who are here lawfully, Haitian migrants from Springfield, Ohio, and are eating cats and dogs, which is false. And as As I reflect on that moment, you see Melania right there, how uncomfortable she looks. But this Al Smith event is an event with Catholic priests, and I just think about How degrading Donald Trump has turned our body politic into where this even exists. There's nothing funny about what you just saw to me. And while I think Melania is vile and Donald Trump is beneath contempt. The whole scene there, they're talking about SA, they're talking about sexual assault, and that's not a laughing matter that people in uh white tuxedos should be there laughing about at all.
Ben Meiselas 1:42
And as I think about How we got here with the Republican Party having one of Jeffrey Epstein's best friends in Donald Trump lead their party. Donald Trump said Epstein's a great guy. He said he likes women on the younger side. Direct quote that Donald Trump gave to New York magazine: Donald Trump would fly on Jeffrey Epstein's plane. Heck, right now, as we speak, as I'm recording this video. Donald Trump uses Jeffrey Epstein's old jet, his Gulf Stream jet, to campaign on right now. I know corporate media couldn't handle that story for more than a few hours. We'll relentlessly talk about it here on the Midas Touch. He's currently in Epstein's jet, using it to campaign on right now. But I just want you to reflect on this, right?
Ben Meiselas 2:31
You have Donald Trump being deposed in a case where he was found liable for sexual assault. Juries heard Donald Trump's cases. And a jury said, Donald Trump, you are liable for sexual assault after hearing all of the evidence where Donald Trump didn't testify. Donald Trump could have testified on his behalf. He was too afraid to. You know where he was? In Scotland and Ireland during the trial, but he was deposed. So the jury, even though he fled the country, got to see his deposition. And grilled by Eugene Carroll's attorney about his access Hollywood line that stars can sexually assault women and grab them. by their genitals. Donald Trump says, Yeah, uh historically it's true, he says. Here, play this clip.

How does the episode connect Donald Trump’s use of Jeffrey Epstein’s jet to his political image?

Robbie Kaplan 3:18
And you say, and again this has become very famous in this video I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it, you can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy, you can do anything. That's what you said, correct?
Donald Trump 3:35
Well, historically that's true with stars.
Robbie Kaplan 3:38
It's true with stars that that they can grab women by the pussy?
Donald Trump 3:41
Well, that's what that's if you look over the last million years, I guess that's been largely true. Not always, but largely true. Unfortunately or fortunately.
Ben Meiselas 3:51
Here's another moment from that deposition as well that now is becoming what, a punchline at some white tie New York City event. Disgusting. Where Donald Trump is shown a photo of his sexual assault victim, Eugene Carroll, and Donald Trump thinks it is his ex wife Marlon Maples, and Alina Haba has to coach him here. Play this clip.
Donald Trump 4:14
I think so, yes.
Robbie Kaplan 4:15
And do you recall when you first saw this photo?
Donald Trump 4:18
At some point during the process I saw. That's Uh I guess her husband, John Johnson Cool. Was an anchor. For A B C nice guy. I thought I mean I don't know him, but I thought he was pretty good at what he did. Um I don't even know who the woman. Let's see. I don't know who It's Marla.
Robbie Kaplan 4:45
You say Marvel's in this photo?
Donald Trump 4:47
That's Marla, yeah. That's that's my wife.
Robbie Kaplan 4:49

Donald Trump 4:53
Oh, yeah. Who is
Unknown 4:56

Robbie Kaplan 4:57
