1986 THROWBACK: "ROY COHN PROFILE"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 сен 2020
- It wasn’t so long ago that the once-fearsome lawyer Roy Cohn and his infamous career seemed destined to be no more than a colorful footnote to history. Cohn was a gaudy character, for sure - a hustler, a fixer, and an amoral hypocrite of incredible drive - whose life as a closeted man ended in tragic comeuppance when he died of AIDS in 1986, insisting to the last that he couldn’t possibly be dying of that gay disease.
Tony Kushner wrote a vivid version of him into Angels in America, and that might have been the last word on Cohn if not for the fact that, in midlife, he had met and started giving legal and how-to-get-away-with-it life advice to a then-young Donald Trump, helping mold him into the man who became president.
There is a great line in ‘Angels In America’ when he says, ‘People like me don’t die of AIDS, they die of liver cancer.’
I remember that. Al Pacino was MAGNIFICENT in that.
@@rubaidaallen2764 Yes, he was so great in the part that he threw off the play’s center of gravity. You began to half admire his ‘ruthless to the grave’ character, which I don’t think is what Kushner had in mind.
he could be getting spit roasted by two young studs and still claim he's straight
😂
In 1986 did the 60 minutes viewers realize the handsome blonde man he lived with was his partner? 👬 🤷🏻♂️. Famous people back then were not coming out like today....
Truly an evil person! Donald learned his craft at his knee.
Now he is going to take the country down with him but I feel so bad for the people he dubbed and is still dubbing to this day and its only to benefit him he could care less about people. I think gilliani learns some thing from him as well he was the NYC mayor don’t forget.
If it weren't for Donald Trump, some of Roy Cohn's sleazy, self-serving methods might have died out with him.
Keep the Roy Cohn and anything related coming!!! Best channel on RUclips...hands down!!! Every single video is extremely rare and interesting...I got ideas 💡 too!!!
you´re amazing!
pls get us some more of roy cohn, thank you so much.
There's a movie coming out that will show the early years of Cohn and Trump. I can't wait. The man is interesting because of how ruthless his tactics were. Trump was his protege.
that reporter don't play. Roy got quiet when he said "I heard from a woman"
You have the BEST documentary library THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯💯
I literally was watching Angels in America and Citizen Cohn this morning. Great timing and coincidence.
Sad film...but we'll made and intriguing.
This is where trump learned his ways
I’ve never seen video of him prior to today. Al Pacino NAILED his speaking voice and mannerisms in Angels in America.
Woody Harrelson could portray him on film 🎞 nicely. Nice share!
Titus welliver
Already came out
James Woods did excellent job
I bet old con man Don really misses his sleeze bag lawyer now! 😂
Former president has 91 criminal charges.
A lawyer dishonest, get out of town!
Roy Cohn was so dishonest he made dishonest lawyers look honest. He wasn't dishonest. Honesty and dishonesty weren't in his brain. He had no use of such things as honesty or dishonesty.
He did what worked. Lying worked. He wasn't just dishonest, he was the type of person who would would send two people, the Rosenbergs, to their death, KNOWING they were not actively treasonous. He wanted them to die so he could make a name for himself and by crickey did it work.
When a truck driver beeped at John Gotti, because Gotti had blocked an alleyway, Gotti beat the hell out of the truck driver.
Roy Cohn represented John Gotti. He said the truck driver took out a crowbar from the back of his truck and came at Gotti with a furious menace.
When Carlo Gambinos son was killed, the guy that got ordered to kill him was John Gotti. Cops arrested Gotti, they had him with blood and fingerprint evidence.
Cohn threatened the witnesses by implication ("if yon wanna wake up tomorrow") in so many words, and boom, Gotti was acquitted.
The only thing Roy learned from Joe C was this "if your always attacking then you do not need to defend".... meaning if you are pushing yor arguement hard enough and the person is engaged in that arguement then you have won. You want to draw them into your arguement versus having them question the basis of the arguement. Just like pointing out communist were of purely a attacking nature, if you defended yourself by recognizing their arguement as valid then you lost.
If a basis for a arguement isn't valid there is no reason to partake in the arguement. It's about framing the arguement or subject in your lens. You want to get people to look thru your looking glasses (your perspective) at the arguement which out them knowing your purposefully framing the arguement in your lens.
Trying to prove your not a communist or proving you do not believe in the ideals set forth in communist literature is a broken arguement because how can you prove what ideas are in your head....
I think the Mccarthy Era stuff merely open Roy up to perception and how to control the narrative or outlooks on situations .
I truly abhor and admire this man concurrently.
I completely abhor him! He was a prolific pedophile and most knew including Trump.
What on earth is there to admire about this piece of shit?
Bad liar but probably great at passing a lie detector test
Mike didn’t ask him the other reason to suspect his life style is the young guy constantly by his side
His eyes never move then again jimmy kimmels dont
Vile man
He died that August 2, 86....just a fact...
Trumps tutor!
Why do gays insist on outing other gays? It's a bizarre kind of persecution. Not every gay man wishes to be an activist and wear his sexuality on his sleeve. Not every gay man regards homosexuality as a social cause. Some prefer to keep their business to themselves, where it belongs.
Everyone should have their own privacy and make their own decisions about how they deal with their sexuality.
However, when a closeted Gay man, in this case Cohen, uses his position of power to harm other Gay people he is fair game to be outed.
And by the way, coming out of the closet doesnt make you an activist. It makes you honest.
Are you talking about what Cohn did to other gays when he outed teachers, politicians etc and referred to all gay men as pedophiles; or are you talking about what is being done to Cohn here?
I was just reading the book Citizen Cohn last night (im still on the first chapter)stopped after the part where he was at his New Years eve party in 1986 he was really sick, and this one lady said people were astonished that he was able to stand up and be strong and take pictures with his friends and family even though he was sick. He seemed like a sick tough bastard because he died later on that same year. It was like 3:00 in the morning and I fell asleep with the book beside me.
Donald Trumps Mentor. You hear Cohn in all of Trumps rhetoric
And you know what J, Stephen Miller acts a lot like Roy Cohn
Exactly...🤨
"Rhetoric" is subjective.
Dude gets grilled pretty good in the last few minutes lol
And it's sad to end that way.
I admire Cohn to assume the monster that he was.
Monster or maybe a hero because he condemned a couple who created Russia (Soviet Union) as a nuclear superpower.
America could have reign like an eagle on top of the world without a nuclear Russia.
He has a later interview literally weeks before he died in June 1986 on CNN with Larry King where he once again denies he AIDS. This is when he was disbarred. He was arguing with a male caller during the interview. I saw that clip on a Roy Cohn documentary. I believe it was called Bully, Coward Victim or something like that
Thanks for these. I've gone from knowing nothing about him to revering him in about two weeks thanks to you 😂
Interesting. He was evil. Figures that Trump idolized him, and that Trump now has supporters liking Cohn's disgusting history.
High five. Love the guy!
M. C. normal humans would deduce that my comment was tongue in cheek even without the emoji. But with the emoji? You're like 1 in 1.225 million for that level of oblivion. 👏🏼
@@Irene-yc8oq You love pedophiles? interesting
You worship a pedophile? Wow
He is wrong about his legacy which is not "McCarthy chief aide," but legal/media mentor to Donald Trump!
he died the same year as this video
of AIDS
What a PERFECT representative of the jewish community !!!!
That blonde lady is CUTE at 4:24 that Roy was talking 2
Interesting guy
Yep. Interesting case of an amoral man who denied the truth sitting right in front of him. A pathetic pervert riddled with venereal anal warts and AIDS who denied being gay despite towing his boyfriend around with him. A pathological liar.
Whitney Webb devotes a chapter to him in her recent book. Corruption comes to mind. Check out the company he kept.
Total denial
Fascinating...
I saw Trump in this clip
Mike Wallace WAS 60 minutes, love him or hate him.
"usual companion" yeah ok sure XDDD
I am not fond of gooz or homozexuals but I have to say I respect the fact that his loyalty and saying how could he put down a guy who isn't here to defend himself is something I respect.
Iv never heard of him
He had a weird habit of having his mouth open, like a fish. He's just a real creep, frankly.
He was a crook!
my thing is this.... If he didn't participate in the lavender scare, I would defend him, because they were on him hard about his sexuality... I would have been like damn, DO u want me MIKE?
10:10 freedom of speech that does not respect another person private life
Horrible human being
@mr zero You babble like a chode
James Woods played him in an HBO movie in 1992 I think
Citizen Cohn
Read the book, skip the film. Woods was too old to play Roy in his 20s and did not attempt to replicate his voice or mannerisms. The film makes Roy appear very boring. The book is mind blowing. Out of print but available on Amazon & eBay.
@@MeagGallagher I will look for the book, I love a good juicy tell all. Thanks for the recommendation
Well if the shoe fits...
@@jaycharles2417 wear it
Wow, so all Mike Wallace wanted to know was did he have aids, WOW!!
Unbelievable!!!
That thing he does with his left cheek is a tell.
Ditto pushing his tongue out. (It's a "blink-&-u'll-miss-it" tell & anthropologists believe it stems from being a baby & having had enuff milk, the infact instinctively pushes his tongue out 2 reject the nipple, same time as he turns his head away, either left or right. And that when we're grown, we learn to mask the head turn. But the tongue push remains b/c it happens so instinctively it's hard to suppress. Apart from the psyche litterally conveying, "I don't want this lie, or the subject being discussed, in my mouth / in me." Fascinating stuff 👍🏼
@@re7416 he refused the nipple all his life 😂 he's as gay as they come.
@@somethingbright4268 And he 'came' 💦 plenty some, 😂
No doubt 😂😂@@re7416
@@re7416 i think it was cause he was very ill at that party he looks a dead man walking and if you ever jump into me you will be also bigdog
Hmm wonderful kind men, lol.
Yes omg ! He seemed so damn nice! 😈😈 😈
He was a malignant force
Well, 69 was an important number to him.
Mike Wallace was a great reporter. His son, not so much.
Low life living the high life 😵
Pure evil.
He is better than Putin at avoiding sticky questions!
Everyone was cocaine skinny back then except fat Tony Salerno
Roy was Trumps mentor and friend. Roy was cool as f...!!
What ethnicity owned all the slave ships? Roy knows....
ARABS!
Dan Field, wrong
THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS STARTED SLAVERY, THE CONTINENT THAT INCUDES EGYPT AS A NATION STILL PRACTICES SLAVERY IN 2020, AND THE COUNTRIES THAT PRACTICE SLAVER TODAY HAVE LEADERS WHO ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF KINGS WHO SOLD PEOPLE TO THE EUROPEANS . I WANT TO CLEAR UP THE MISINFORMATION ABOUT HOW PEOPLE FROM THAT CONTINENT [ SADLY] WERE BROUGHT TO THE [ NEW WORLD ] IN SHACKLES. THE PEOPLE WHO [ SADLY] BOUGHT THE PEOPLE FROM KINGS OF THE [ VERY POOR SOULS] WHO WERE SLAVES. THESE VERY SADLY MIISFORTUNATE PEOPLE WERE NOT CHASED DOWN AND SHACKLED BY THE [ SLAVE BUYERS, BUT SOLD AS A PIECE OF GOLD WOULD BE SOLD] MY POINT IS THE EVIL ACT OF SLAVERY WAS STARTED BY [ THE BLOOD ANCESTORS OF THESE UNFORTUNATE SLAVES] AND THE BUYERS WERE JUST AS EVIL, AND THE SAD PART OF THIS EVIL IS THAT THE DECENDANTS OF SLAVE OWNERS DID NOT TAKE PART IN THIS [ EVIL] WHICH WAS STARTED BY THE [ PEOPLE OF THE CONTINENT] THAT THE VICTIMS OF THE [ EVIL SLAVE TRADE] LIVED. NO ONE JUST SAILED OVER TO THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA AND GRABBED PEOPLE AND TOOK THEM!!! EVIL KINGS SOLD PEOPLE TO THE FUTURE SLAVE OWNERS WHO THEN BROUGHT THEM TO THEIR [ ALREADY INHABITED] NEWLY DISCOVERED LANDS. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE [ THE ACT OF SLAVERY IS VILE AND IN HUMAN, AND WHETHER THE KINGS WHO SOLD THEM, OR THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THEM, ARE ALL GUILTY OF THIS [ HORRIFIC, NIGHTMARISH SLAVERY, AND ALL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING BOTH PAST AND PRESENT CAUSED BY IT. I WILL CLOSE MY COMMENT BY SAYING [ MANKIND HAS BEEN VERY CRUEL TO EACH OTHER FOR MULTIPLE CENTURIES!!!!!!!!!! LET'S ALL TRY AND SHOW LOVE TO EACH OTHER, NO MATTER WHAT WE LOOK LIKE OR WHERE OUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM. [ GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Divide and Conquer. Oldest game in the book. Who do you think they learned it from?
(((Who))) indeed.
If only they knew just how right McCarthy was, if only they knew that Uncle A was right all along, if only they knew that 109 countries/municipalities were correct and justified in exiling them.
If only.
Roy Cohn, J Edgard Hoover, Rock Hudson, Liberace,Mair Ed Koch were all good pale.
Most heterosexuals should be like Roy, manly!
I think they were all like that in the old days. People like Rock Hudson, mair Ed Koch and others look pretty manly, but they were also Psychopaths, sociopaths and creepy as hell.
Someone who is effeminated or looking weak isn't necessarily homosexual. There are plenty of feminine men who are heterosexual.
I know a few homosexuals who would phucking crush you with one hand.
@@kingsman428 why the comment, I don't have anything against homosexuality
@@Groucho-tg1tx I don't know because the comment I responded to isn't there anymore
What is exactly did you find so manly about him?
evil has a face⬆️
in the case of the late Roy M. Cohn, karma eventually got the better of him. The exact same thing could be said about Trump.
🤞🏼
Complete BS.
@@sugarjoe50 More likely than not, Trump will eventually be getting 'a taste of his own medicine.'
@Donnell Okafor Trump IS 'toxic [political] waste.'
How..?
Funny how all these people are so entitled that they feel like a man has an obligation to tell them everything about his health conditions. Cohn’s a human being and deserves privacy no matter how much you may disagree with his politics.
J.E.H I’ve read two biographies on the man cover to cover. Sure I know about him. (Side note: J.E.H? J Edgar Hoover?
Hey Irene. If you research into it, u'll find Roy Cohn certainly DIDN'T respect other people's privacy. If u & him were in a Court Case, he'd hire Private Detectives to dig up dirt on u, bug ur fone, surveillance u etc. All highly illegal stuff, & worse b/c he was a Lawyer. So against such a back drop, he forfeits the rite 2 any kindda privacy. Additionally, his being a closet homosexual had a direct effect on his character. He was filled with self-loathing & shame & his rage manifested itself in his super right-wing views & actions, his utter vindictiveness & loathing of anything considered fair, impartial or community-minded | He was human. But also a twisted, bitter, self-loathing sociopath. This sums him up: ruclips.net/video/mBFPdvjYTD4/видео.html
R E there is no evidence he illegally bugged anyone. He also never broadcasted other notable people’s private matters on national television. Besides, even if he did disregard others privacy (which I don’t think he did to the extent of this 60 minute episode), doing the same to him does not make you a better person than him.
@@Irene-yc8oq Points noted. (But politely disageed with.) Probably best to let Roy Cohn's own Cousin have the last word. Pay special attention to his Points 2 & 5 | Genuinely wishing u well 😉 | www.google.com/amp/s/www.thewrap.com/roy-cohn-cousin-5-things-to-know/amp/
@@re7416 Why let a spiteful cousin have the last word? Many of Cohn’s friends and family members defended him to the very end. Most of them are no longer around but they were interviewed by Nicholas von Hoffman who incorporated some of their testimony into Citizen Cohn, a fairly comprehensive biography that I think anyone who is interested in understand Cohn should read. Von Hoffman despised Cohn but at least tried, with some success, to appear impartial in penning Cohn’s biography. I wish you well as well.
He murdered Ethel Rosenberg!
He preferred gay sex, and was misogynistic. Never had an actual girlfriend, despite dating a couple females in order to dispel rumors. Truly, a hard core butt pirate !!
@Donnell Okafor No. He was a filthy criminal, hypocrite himself...
They were traitors.
@@majuscule8883 At least they thought they were serving a noble purpose. Cohn's only purpose was butt sex!
He had she and her husband put to death
He’s right about the NY liberal party...
warped mind…DJT maker
Awful interview. Actually feel sorry for the guy. He was from the old days. People simply did not come out
He ruined the lives of so many gay men by outing them. Publicly, he was very homophobic.
Had he not done what he did to other gay men, no one would have cared
What a BOSS!! Good guy
He was an evil Bastard and died a hideous death from aids.
He destroyed many people and he could have helped others who suffered from AIDS during that decade but he chose not to.
Robin Delancy his boyfriend peter Fraser said he knew Roy Cohn had worked behind the scenes to lobby for millions of dollars to be channeled into aids research. He just kept it hush hush for fear of being identified as an aids patient.
@Knuckle Game The press and health officials were all quiet about the rapid spread and created a shame based identity attached to those suffering with it. At the time it was called "Gay Related Cancer".
Cohn was one of the first to receive AZT treatments and it kept him alive for a while. He never contributed information or support to those infected and he continued to go to bath houses and use male escorts knowing he was contagious.
It's pretty well documented how he behaved during the epidemic in the 80's.
I lived in New York in the 80's. It was a very scary time for everyone. I was 18 and AIDS shut down the
"sex, drugs and rock&roll " culture pretty fast!
@@Irene-yc8oq no way....
@Sara You don't understand the nature of what a nightmare it was back then! People were dying by the thousands. Well and happy on Friday, dead two weeks later!
It was a TOTAL EPIDEMIC in New York City!
Only when upper class white men, women and children began dying did the media pay attention.
Lizard King.
AIDS?? GOOD.
America owes McCarthy a apology!
Hilarious.
MAGA 2020
