Michael Johnson is "Old Testament" vengeance.
No, he’s an awful example of a Christian.
Playing circus theme music during your polls review would be more fitting for the unreliable sourcing of this data
You guys tell the News about us our msn doesn't tell us (Regan delaying aid when it was Israel and Lebanon) then report on our actions that stem from our not knowing that news!
Yay! Comments! 🎉
Your "What's At Stake" list is fantastic 👏😂...🤔...😭
That Menendez stuff is shocking.
Could you guys give us an easy breakdown of Project 2025. Is it what Trump said in his Time interview?
Go and look at the website. It's pretty self explanatory. The fact they aren't even TRYING to disguise what they are planning to do is telling.
Love your work team!
Why is the audio so low?
11:55 do republicans not understand what a political favour versus a humanitarian rights favour???
Dizzamn! A "u" in favor; oh we're international now baby! Heeeyyyyy-ooooohh

Excuse him for spelling an English word in English.
Love this show. "Trump's Tower: The white house Edition" You guys provide such a great analysis of it all!
Michael Johnson is a naughty, naughty, little donut.
MoralE boost, yes. Moral boost, no.
Why is it called the Hush Money trial? Shouldn’t it have a criminal title? What is the crime?
Hush money trial name is what media nick named it. It's about falsity payments which is an election interference crime generally
Falsifying records to conceal the payment of hush money to unlawfully influence an election...that's why it's called the hush money trial
I believe it is a criminal trial "The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump". Guess the Hush Money name is used by media?
FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS IN THE FIRST DEGREE, P.L. §175.10, 34 Cts.
The Falsifying Business Records In the 1st Degree Case doesn't really sound too good, does it?
@@alexforagen5208 ....To interfere in a fair and free election....Even worse.
so many factual errors in this report ..... so political is the ABC
Why are yo calling him President Trump.
In the US the title “President” gets used in perpetuity, even after a president has finished their term.
Because it’s the obvious outcome.
You may not like or agree but it's because he always was and is and will be president. It was 100% stolen from him. The dirty tricks the left played and always plays are now going to backfire biggly.
Because he will be President. By a landslide. Look at the polling. Numbers do not lie.
@@outbacknoir or as in this case if you refuse to reconise an election result
I think we need to prepare ourselves for a trump presidency. Therefore three planet America shows and two pod casts because there is going to be so much to talk about!!
Let's get peppy! No time for Chas to sleep
As opposed to America right now as it exists under the left? Please.
More like the ‘trump derangement syndrome’ or more ‘sharpie gate’ episodes. But don’t forget, planet American was off the air for a while but did come back on when presidents changed, or did I miss something?
I'm loving John's chairs high heels.
It’s good to see Trump’s devout Christian friends supporting him in this case. Hopefully putting their self-interest ahead of their beliefs will show voters how many Christian politicians use their beliefs as a tool.
Do you know that literally every person in politics that opposes Trump is war mongering corrupt devil, like everyone! I was in on Obama I finally thought we might get somewhere as a human race, I was played, he proceeded to be one of the worst human beings ever if that’s possible, after Clinton or Bush.. he dropped more 💣 s on innocent children than anyone else before him! These trials against Trump are a joke, you do even know what he is charged with in this Stormy Daniel’s trial, they are saying he should have used campaign funds to pay her off instead of private funds? But if he used Campaign funds that would be illegal!!! No matter how bad Trump is at the very least he didn’t start wars killing innocent babies! Do you not understand that! You have never seen war so you believe that it has merit in some instances! It’s doesn’t my friend only innocents suffers! Name 1 policy of Trumps you think is bad 1! I’ll wait!
The host in the suit words are the perfect example of elitism & why so many people are stepping away the left side of politics simply because of the change in the last decade.
The Family Values Candidate.. guilty of crimes or not he IS guilty of "slimeballing"
Apparently evangelicals see him as Samson, a strong, sexually virile hero. Is Stormy his Delilah?
Stormy Daniel's and
Michael Cohen are lying Trump haters and if Trump goes to prison Michael Cohen or Stormy Daniel's will never be known as nothing but liars!!
What about STORMIE saying and signing her name saying there was NEVER any sex? That Michael and STORMIE was extorting Mr Trump
So Stormy goes on Piers Morgan a couple of weeks ago and denies on air, that she never slept with Trump, that there was no affair - but all of a sudden on the stand in court she said that it happened. She’s a liar and a grifter. As is Coen.
Stormy even admitted on Piers Morgan a couple of weeks ago that she never slept with Trump - that the affair never happened. But lordy - all of a sudden shes at a trial saying that it did happen - are the Democrats paying her?
she know about trumps penis from not having sex with him?
How much money Cohen has acquired for doing this?
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Democrats have bought the jury already - this whole trial is an utter sham. Funny how all these events with the ‘hush money’ happened back in 2016 but the trial is NOW - before an election the Democrats know they will lose. This is pure political interference.
far less than the Trump family got from him being president
@@edthebumblingfool *cough* Burisma *cough*
So glad Donald is half Scottish,aye Donald
Hatch Act?
BS
Poll's are not correct
How and why?
Don't hold your breath
Yeah but the rallies are the real polls - Trump is filling stadiums and Biden can’t fill a small room 😂 lol. This is a landslide, everyone knows it - thats why Trump’s trial just happens to be now. Why not two years ago? Too much of a coincidence. This has Democrat and Hilary Clinton’s slime all over it.
The late great Hannibal Lecter is the funniest thing in American politics since Rudy went to Four seasons total landscaping
I wish that you had noted that Trump’s “large crowd had mostly left throughout his talk. It appears that they like the circus but maybe not the animal in the center ring.
This show is certainly worth around 8c a day. What's the bet these turkeys get their info from Reddit and NPR.
At 1:24 Trump says "Don't pay with cash" but they omit "don't" -- just like Kevin Clinesmith altering the email saying "Carter Page is a CIA asset" to "Carter Page is NOT a CIA asset" and thereby provided the lie the FISA court needed to accept the Müller investigation.
Just a tiny little alteration. What damage could that do?
Still playing the victim.
What are you on about. 1:24 ????

@@AnthonyMoss-pm1vc go to China
Social Engeneering
Nothing like unbiased reporting by our far left ABC 😂.
Which part, can you give an example?
Of course my non profane comment gets deleted.
More censorship here than Russia or China.
Very touchy about being labelled press agents for big government.
I have no faith in the ABC after the lies they told about Alice Springs last year.
Hannibal Lecter🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I've been pointing to the fact that Trump is a cannibal.
26:04 what’s up with Trumps voice ?
Lol trump farted in a packed courtroom!!😂😂😂
I think it was worse than that.
It sounds like he sharted.
That's why his eyes are closed scared of farting.
What is exactly is this fixation of weak Marxists being obsessed with the concept of farting and associating it with strong leaders consistently throughout history all about l? Genuinely I'm so curious
The fact that Americans can still support Trump even after all this is truly mind blowing.
Waiting for a mass murder charge. Oh wait...
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
You act so blind you must be Chinese.
Are you serious? This has only improved his support to it's greatest heights yet because it's the most flagrant example of the establishment doing everything they possibly can to eliminate one of their political opponents no matter what the cost, short of a JFK reenactment. The fact that you can still support this out in the open corruption while feeling morally justified is a strong indication that you may feel more at home in Soviet era Russia, because I don't know if even the USA can handle your rabid desire for bootlicking
If I was Michael Cohen And Stormy Daniel's I would go somewhere and hide 🤔 because they're both liars, getting their sweet Revenge!!
Thanks team (Algo)
Chas do you disagree with Ana? You've said even 1% for melania reasons = not guilty. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts 🎉
Excuse me, Professor Cominsky
It is a foundational principle of Christianity that people can change their wicked ways, repent, with remorse, and straighten out. Christians on the jury are obligated to take Cohen's testimony with this in mind and heart and to accept what he is saying as the truth.
And where does Donald Trump fit into changing his wicked ways repenting and being remorseful to the American people 🤔
Are you still buying that old lazy talking point about Trump supporters just being evangelical Christian wackos after all these years? It does you no favours peddling this same old stuff that nobody without a specific agenda actually buys anymore
Cohen brings the facts or evidence. Trump is in big trouble
Know one will never ever trust 💯 that liar ever again he's a backstabbing Snake 🐍
Maybe Cohen recorded it in his confidential lawyer meeting where Cohen and his Girlfriend are extorting Trump.
Trump. 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺
.. Trump. 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺
This show is an embarrassing,, you are reading comics to get your so called information. SHAME on you.
Trump leading in the polls shows sadly how many American's need a mental health evaluation..
And Biden Supporters are of sound mind??
So you would prefer old rogue Joe who sold his country out to fund two wars. Get a grip.
Yeah they are seeing the left bullsht for what it is and this is the beginning of the end for woke ideology. 😂
So does Trump still remain the preferred Republican candidate if he is convicted? Does the US Constitution allow for a convicted criminal to be President?
Yes. He can serve as President even if convicted
That is rediculous, can convicts vote in America
@@sandragill9916 they can't vote but they can be president.
A previous episode of Planet America mentioned a union figure who campaigned for President from prison, about a century ago. They said he got close to a million votes.
Vote Blue 💙🙏🏽💯
Guys what are you doing. I've been following this trial as I have followed the Gaza war. The bias in your reporting is quite disturbing with significantly important details being omitted. Time the ABC stopped playing politics and started presenting a factual objective report on these deeply concerning events.
Morale Boost? They're all there to show loyalty to their leader and several are borderline begging to be Veep
And why not. The guy’s still walking, almost talking, but clearly not long for this world.
Gooo Trump❤❤❤
Cohen seems unable to tell the truth no matter what. Eternal Judge knows it all. Yippee. Bring it on Lord yet Cohe is doing it all by himself.
Bias
Prof. Cominsky said Trump could be convicted if it was shown that he paid the money at least partly to protect his 2016 presidential campaign even it was also to avoid private embarrassment with his family. Chas, is that different to what you have said previously that if there is any private motive he can’t be convicted?
I believe Chas said that if the motive were merely personal the case could be chucked. If it were merely personal I imagine he would have divorced as he had done twice previously. But that is why Cohens statements are so pivotal.
Looks like Chas clarified it on PEP today. Yes, Cominsky had a different view to him.
"Player, player; G5". Trump got it from Tom Cruise.
Cohen was a loyal soldier until the Boss threw him under the bus!
Cohen replaces Harris as VP candidate.
Mamma-la Harris 😂😂😂
Is it ethical to support the testimony of a convicted perjurer? Shouldn’t the ABC be more prudent?
His evidence is supported by documentary trail.
Are you serious
😂😂
Fortunately we don't have to take his word for it. There is irrefutable, documentary evidence to support every single claim in his testimony.
That's how the system works.
13:15 how would you know what Biden is concerned about?
Our taxes pay for your show. At least PRETEND to be journalists???

Yeah us poor Latino's are flooding you Aussies with YAYO

Its so obvious which way U are biased. Ive never watched your channel & wont be watching it ever agin since U share things to push ur own agenda, rather than just sharing facts
It’s a government broadcaster! Of course they are going to be press agents for ever expanding government ( i.e the left) . Anger is futile. Ridicule is a better recourse

That's the Liberian flag.

What is the case here? Sex made long timr ago why Trump now being indicted ? Im a woman but its been long time ago save the tax dollar usedvin court make housing for our veterans and lower the price of foods will be happy than waste our tax money to this useless case
Because it didn't become illegal to cover it up until he ran for president.
It's the fact Trump (allegedly) used campaign funds to cover it up, which is illegal.
Palestinians are much nicer people than Americans.
28:27 not showing the footage of people leaving by the thousands whilst Trump is still rambling on stage in the background?
Didn't happen
@neox6439 oh look, a brainwashed MAGA cult member incapable of accepting reality has entered the conversation 🙄
Trump has redefined the word untrustworthy
For real TRUMP coverage

second that. at least they are practising lawyers that can actually provide a legal breakdown of what's going on in court, not some journalist who thinks they do.
It is easy to tell if someone is lying, they have a motive.
