    Raw unfiltered bipartisan truth
    This podcast and all who work for the Miedas touch network, our professional, analytical, able to explain complicated policies in Laymans terms. This is a bipartisan network as they have formally backed certain Republicans, however, MAGA is not that and will never win! Keep up the great work to everyone!!!

    Favorite MeidasTouch Show!
    This is my favorite of all the MeidasTouch channels, although they are all good, and I never miss it! Michael Cohen has a unique perspective that’s impossible to get anywhere else! I’m glad he is part of this group.
  • Reerob
    Since reading his book
    I’ve been a fan of Mike Cohen since reading his first book, “Disloyal”. His no-nonsense approach, and intimate knowledge of the major players is refreshing in an increasingly unhinged political climate.

    I Hesitate to Mention This
    I love all of the MeidasTouch broadcasts, and I’ve heard both sides of the debate about Michael Cohen good vs bad and I’ve always been on his side. That hasn’t changed but I sense a shift with him. Part of his charm has been his edge/snark. These days he seems very different, I keep waiting for someone to bring it up, nobody does so I’m hoping it’s just me. He seems almost afraid of tRUMP, his edge is gone and he keeps referring to having been his friend. He may have PTSD-being on the bad side of the gvt is rough & the rancid orange is getting crazier by the hour so I can understand but it’s unfortunate. I’ll be very surprised if he publishes that 3rd book

    Excellent legal & political analysis
  • Jackie1060
    Listened for years but….
    Since the election, you have changed and maybe you need to join Joe and create your own podcast. I can only listen to Ben. Unfollowed Mea Culpa.
  • KRB1015
    Great show, BUT…
    Oof. Michael’s opinion on the Matt Gaetz ethics report is a big miss. The fact that he resigned in an attempt to keep the report on the DL shouldn’t preclude the report from being released, and thankfully the Ethics Committee agreed. As to the use of the word “shaming” in reference to Matt Gaetz…uh he should be shamed for sleeping with a GIRL who was a junior in high school, hello. Now to his argument that the report no longer serves a purpose. Really? If his disgusting actions keep him out of public office going forward, there’s your purpose. He’s lucky he isn’t being charged. His buddy sure was. Michael has walked his opinions way back ever since 11/5. Ben is excellent and a good balance to Michael’s deference to Trump.

    Michael you sure have changed your tone.
  • AbbyNemo
    Great Partnership
    Ben’s passion is even more palpable after Democracy’s loss this past November. The back-and-forths between Ben and Michael make Political Beatdown a formidable podcast.

    Real patriot
    Michael, you are following morning Joe. I as well as others hear your soft tone about someone that has ZERO interest in our country or any other democracy. Been listening to your voice/opinion for years. Now it means little.
  • xxxfor_Petes_sake
    I need whatever koolaid you’re serving
    Michael, are you in post-election shock?
  • opheliamcvale
    Who got to you, Michael?
    Wow, he’s really toned down his anti-trump vitriol. We don’t need another trump apologist, thanks. We need a fighter. And where is Ben? Multiple episodes with just Michael, including one where Michael introduced it as the Michael Cohen Show. Somebody do a welfare check.
  • copperfieldd
    Fascist
    Just unplugged Cohen.
  • LynFle
    What happened to you?
    Can’t listen anymore. Ever since Trump was re-elected Cohen is now sounding like a Trump cultist. Bye
  • Spng64
    Disappointed
    Michael I can only assume you fear his retribution will fall on you again and that is why you’ve taken on a new tone. I get it but none of these appointments were made in the best interest of the country and the manner in which he’s trying to do this proves that. You know this because you warned us non stop before the election.
  • Hobbitlovecraft
    We are all Effed
    I’ve listened to this podcast as well as Mea Culpa long enough to hear that your tone regarding Trump had changed. Sigh, please stop trying to be positive about this guy’s presidency! He’s a fascist, he’s not going to be a president for all as you hope but a dictator—you know this better than anyone! We are all screwed. People are hoping that this nightmare will end after 4 years but I’m not sure about that. I don’t believe that he is going to leave after 4 years. So please stop trying to wish for him to be different, because we all know that isn’t true. He will never change. He’s senile and vindictive in addition to being incompetent; he’s going to be worse now that he has immunity from the SC we are so screwed
  • itwasntmesir45
    Sad people
    The only beat down I see is the one Trump just made on you and all your buddies in the MSM. You were made non existent after we wiped the floor with you on Election Day. You are tools who have no morals or intelligence and you know it. You overcompensate for being mediocre hair eaters. It's over bye!
  • Bob_W.
    Pfffft
    The only political beatdown that has happened was on election night 2024. No beatdowns are coming from your hands you clowns.
  • Wise N. Heimer
    Never rated, never wrote a review
    Sad, used to be a fan, Cohen. We are not going to all gather ‘round and sing “Kumbia”. Ben is more on point.
  • Precious Pear
    What?!
    Michael I love you and your podcasts but we all know what a Trump presidency will be like only worse than 2016. It will be a horror show. Goodbye democracy, hello Project 2025. Kumbaya.
  • Foxposte
    Refreshingly straightforward
    Initially I was skeptical about checking out this podcast, but have come to really admire Michael Cohen’s work. He has put great effort into exposing the weird and dangerous behavior of Donald Trump. He knows Trump; once his “fixer,” under his spell, admittedly, he learned painfully, that he had fixed his star to a man with no regard for anyone but himself. Painful lessons learned, & no saint himself, he does what he can—and more—to warn the rest of us the dangers of believing in this wolf in sheep’s clothing, who would sell his soul to the devil, except that he is so sick he likely regards himself more highly than Lucifer! Why believe a man who lied and cheated and bullied others for Trump? Because in doing so, he lost nearly everything—his law license, and even his freedom, but shows real courage in finding himself—and fighting back to warn the rest of us not to be taken in by this would-be dictator, who continues to hold power over some of this country’s most powerful political figures, in paradoxical Orwellian ways I cannot explain. Well Worth your time to hear what Cohen has to say!
  • ~ListenerReader
    insightful and entertaining
    Great show Michael. When Trump played the music for 45 min, I think he wanted the music blaring to cover the sound of you know what hitting his diaper. I'm serious.

    Has potential
    This podcast offers unique insight into DT. But Michael Cohen talks too much, is loud and his voice is annoying. He’s repetitive and doesn’t give guests enough voice without interrupting them. I appreciate the content but can only take so much Cohen before I have to turn it off. Ben, on the other hand, has a great, easy voice, no annoyance there. If Cohen could tone it down, it would really improve the show. Also, don’t have Cohen do the ads. Again, too much annoying voice.
