This is Michael Cohen and you're listening to the mayor called the podcast.

Fox News settled their defamation suit with Dominion voting systems, a verdict, a trial.

Damn it! I want my trial. I want it. You were supposed to provide me six weeks of delicious content.

I wanted to see Rupert Modar put his hand on the Bible and burst into flames.
