Summary

Mea Culpa welcomes back legendary politician turned political analyst, Michael Steele. Steele made history when he became the first African-American candidate to be elected to statewide office in Maryland, where he served as lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2007, and when he was chosen to be the first African-American chairperson of the Republican National Committee from 2009 to 2011. Steele’s abilities as a communicator and commentator have been showcased daily on MSNBC where he has become a fierce opponent of Donald Trump and the MAGA agenda. He’s also appeared on Meet the Press, Face the Nation, HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, and The Daily Show to name a few. In addition to his work in television, Steele can be heard each week on his radio show on SiriusXM or on the Michael Steele Podcast which has become a must listen for those on both sides of the aisle. He joins me today as former President Trump awaits news charges from the DOJ and special prosecutor Jack Smith and much, much more.

This is Michael Cohen and you're listening to the Mayor Copa podcast.

0:27.6

I mean, usually the 4th of July, it used to be a moment of pause for Washington and the press for a few days politicians would return home to march in their local parade, stuff themselves with hot dogs and wrap themselves in the American flag.

0:44.6

I mean, the press took a break as well, but not anymore.

0:48.6

This week, Washington delivered a bevy of news that put to rest the notion of a summer recess.

0:55.6

So first to pop was the report that a bag of cocaine was found in the White House.

1:01.6

Now how it got there and who was doing blow in the West Wing, it's anyone's guess and thus far there have been few answers.

1:09.6

On Sunday night, the White House was briefly evacuated due to the discovery of the White Poundary Substance, which was discovered where folks on White House tours are asked to leave their cell phones.

1:23.6

Now after the Substance was identified to be Peruvian marching powder and not anthrax, right wing conservatives as well as former President Trump, pounced on the news as if it was raw meat thrown to a bear.

1:38.6

And I quote, does anybody really believe that the cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House very close to the Oval Office?

1:47.6

It's for the use of anyone other than Hunter and Joe Biden Trump wrote Wednesday on his untruth social media site.

1:55.6

But watch the fake news media will soon start saying that the amount found was very small and it wasn't really cocaine, but rather come and ground up aspirin.

2:07.6

And the story will vanish Trump continued the rant.

2:11.6

The former President then set his site on special counsel Jack Smith, whose office recently indicted him on charges related to the mishandling of classified documents.

2:23.6

Trump, as if Smith had been seen in the vicinity of the drugs, claiming that he, and again I quote, looks like a crackhead to me.

2:32.6

Where are the White House security tapes, like the ones I openly and happily gave to deranged Jack Smith, which will quickly show where the cocaine in the White House came from?

2:43.6

They already know the answer, but probably don't like it.

2:47.6

I mean, this is the ranting of the former President, this fucking lunatic just going on and on.

2:53.6

I mean, this is absolutely deranged shit.

2:56.6

And let's not forget for a moment that Don Jr. has appeared on video countless times looking like he just inhaled an entire eight ball.

3:05.6

I mean, the idea that this is somehow the responsibility of President Biden is just fucking ridiculous.

3:12.6

And yes, Hunter has had well publicized addiction issues, but the notion that he's walking around with a gram of blowing his pocket, I mean, it's just fucking absurd.

3:23.6

This is the place of business, not a 70's orgy.
