>> Sean: FAMOUS TRUMP HATER, ATTORNEY FOR STORMY DANIELS
MICHAEL AVENATTI CONVICTED OF
EXTORTION AND THE LIBERAL MEDIA
SUNK THEIR CREDIBILITY EVEN
FURTHER FOR THE WAY THEY ALLOWED
HIM TO DOMINATE THEIR NETWORKS.
HUNDREDS OF APPEARANCES, ALL OF
COURSE TRASHING DONALD TRUMP
FULL-TIME.
FULL-TIME. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THIS.
>> MICHAEL AVENATTI, THANKS FOR
BEING ON THE SHOW TONIGHT.
I APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE WITH
US THIS MORNING.
>> MY LIVE 90 JOINS ME NOW.
>> MICHAEL, IT’S GOOD TO SEE
YOU.
YOU. >> MICHAEL AVENATTI.
>> STORMY DANIELS’ ATTORNEY
MICHAEL OPPEN 90 SAYS THAT
TRUMP’S DEFENDERS SHOULD BE
WORRIED.
WORRIED. >> NOW THAT HE’S CRASH AND BURN
AND EXPOSED, THEY ARE LICKING
THEIR WOUNDS AFTER BEING EXPOSED
AS A TOTAL FRAUD.
>> THAT WAS STUPID ON MY PART.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE ABOUT HOW
AVENATTI WAS COVERED BY CNN AND
MSNBC?
MSNBC? >> IT WOULD’VE BEEN WEIRD TO NOT
TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY.
I FEEL KIND OF SNICKERED BECAUSE
I TOOK HIM SERIOUSLY.
HE DID REPRESENT STORMY DANIELS
AND I THINK IN RETROSPECT HER
LEGAL STRATEGY WAS KIND OF
INSANE.
INSANE. >> Sean: POUR HUM DE!
HE WAS TAKING HIM SERIOUSLY AS A
POTENTIAL CANDIDATE.
POTENTIAL CANDIDATE. ANYWAY, THE 24 24/7 TRUMP HATING
PRESS HOPING THAT THIS GETS ALL
GLAZED OVER LIKE ALL OF THEIR
OTHER MASSIVE SCRUBS AND
CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND LIES AND
SLANDERS.
SLANDERS. HOW MUCH DID FOR GNU C THAT KID
NICHOLAS SANDMANN?
NICHOLAS SANDMANN? I BET A LOT OF MONEY.
OUR FRIEND PIERS MORGAN AFTER
CNN TWEETED, A LOT OF EGG A LOT
OF CABLE NEWS PROGRAMS, AVENATTI
WAS A BASEBALL BUT THEY PULLED
THEM UP LIKE HE WAS
AS THE NUMBER ONE SHOW ACROSS THE POND IN THE MORNING, I WATCH
YOUR SHOW.
YOUR SHOW. YOUR SHOW IS KILLER.
I’M GLAD YOU ARE THERE AND NOT
UP AGAINST ME ANYMORE.
THANK GOD.
THANK GOD. BUT -- ALL RIGHT, WE’VE COUNTED,
LIKE, 300 APPEARANCES OF THIS
GUY AND THE ONLY REASON THEY
WANTED HIM ON IS THAT HE WOULD
JUST TRASH TRUMP EVEN AFTER THE
JULIE SWETNICK DEBACLE OF
AVENATTI, THEY KEPT HAVING THIS
UP.
UP. >> APOLOGIES FOR MY BOYS, BY THE
WAY.
WAY. I’M TRYING TO SURVIVE A BRUTAL
ENGLISH WINTER.
ENGLISH WINTER. I GET TO CALIFORNIA AND
IMMEDIATELY GET A STINKING COLD.
MAKES ME SOUND MORE LIKE MORGAN
FREEMAN THEN PIERS MORGAN.
MY APOLOGIES.
MY APOLOGIES. MICHAEL AVENATTI, JUST LOOKING
AT HIM AND LISTENING TO HIM, HE
WAS LIKE A REFUGEE FROM THE SET
OF "PRISON BREAK."
HE JUST SCREAMED SLEAZE BALL.
HE WAS POPPING UP ON CABLE NEWS.
NOT FOX, I MIGHT ADD, MAYBE TWO
OR THREE TIMES A DAY.
THEY WERE TREATING HIM LIKE HE
WAS THIS EXTRAORDINARY SUPERMAN
LIKE SAVIOR WHO HAS COME TO
RESCUE THE WORLD FROM
DEVASTATING DONALD TRUMP.
THE MORE HE TALKED, THE MORE
CLEAR IT WAS NEVER ABOUT HIS
CLIENT STORMY DANIELS WHO HE
COMPLETELY IN MY VIEW DESTROYED.
HE DESTROYED HER REPUTATION,
DESTROYED HER LIFE, TOOK HER
MONEY.
MONEY. AND RATHER THAN LOOK AFTER HIS
CLIENTS, WHAT HE WAS DOING WAS
REALLY BOOSTING HIMSELF.
MAKING HIMSELF OUT TO BE
SOMETHING WHICH HE WAS EMINENTLY
UNQUALIFIED TO BE.
I THINK IT’S A STAIN ON THE U.S.
MEDIA WHO FELL FOR THIS.
TIME AND AGAIN, SEAN, THE PUMP
THIS GUY UP ON THE AIRWAVES AS
IF HE WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL AND
THEN THEY SAID HE’S GOING TO RUN
FOR PRESIDENT.
FOR PRESIDENT. REALLY, THIS SLEAZE BALL IS
GOING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT?
IT WAS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AT
THE TIME.
THE TIME. AS I SAID IN MY TWEET, A LOT OF
EGG ON A LOT OF FACES BUT AS YOU
POINTED OUT, VERY FEW PEOPLE
WITH EGG LITERALLY DRIPPING DOWN
THEIR HEADS ARE PREPARED TO SIT
THERE AND ADMIT THAT WE GOT THIS
COMPLETELY WRONG AND IT WAS
ACTUALLY HORRIFIC JOURNALISM ON
OUR PART TO GIVE THIS GUY SUCH A
MASSIVE PLATFORM.
MASSIVE PLATFORM. >> Sean: PIERS, I’M A TALK
SHOW HOST.
SHOW HOST. I DO FUN STUFF TOO.
HERE’S THE THING FOR IT WHILE
THEY WERE DOING RUSSIA, RUSSIA,
RUSSIA, WHAT DID WE DISCOVER?
HILLARY CLINTON, THE EMAIL
SERVERS, THERE WAS RUSSIAN
INTERFERENCE, AND MY SIX GUY
HIRED, FOR NATIONAL.
WE GOT IT RIGHT ON THIS WHOLE
FISA WARRANT, PREMEDITATED
WARRANT ON THIS P26 COURT.
THEY GOT NONE OF THE STORY ABOUT
FISA ABUSE RIGHT.
THEY SPECTACULARLY IGNORED QUID
PRO QUO JOE AND ZERO EXPERIENCE
HUNTER.
HUNTER. AND I’M A TALK SHOW GUY.
I DO ALL OF THAT.
I’M LIKE A WHOLE NEWSPAPER.
DO IT ALL.
THEY SAY THEY ARE JOURNALIST.
THAT’S A BIG DIFFERENCE.
>> THIS TRUMP DERANGEMENT
SYSTEM, I THINK IT’S A REAL
THING.
THING. I WATCH A LOT OF NEWS NOW WANT
TO COME OVER FROM THE STATES AND
IN ENGLAND, I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW
NATIVELY PARTISAN IT’S BECOME.
CNN LEFT TO SAY THAT YOU GUYS
ARE PARTISAN, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
WAY THEY TELL IT?
WHAT ABOUT THE WAY THEY USE
SOMEBODY LIKE AVENATTI TO GO OFF
TRUMP AN ENTIRE YEAR.
HE WAS SOMEBODY WHO WAS PREPARED
TO TRASH THE PRESIDENT.
>> DO YOU SEE ANYTHING EXCEPT
ANTI-TRUMP ON THESE OTHER CABLE
NETWORKS, BROADCAST NETWORKS?
>> I THINK IT’S A REAL
DISSERVICE TO AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THEY’VE GOT TO HAVE SOMEWHERE TO
GO AND IT USED TO BE CNN.
NOT SAYING THERE’S ANY PLEASURE
OR ANY PRIDE, I USED TO LOVE
WORKING AT CNN.
I’VE GOT MANY FRIENDS AT CNN BUT
I HONESTLY WATCH IS SOMETIMES IN
MY MOUTH IS ON THE FLOOR BECAUSE
WHEN I WAS THERE YOU ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO BE THIS PARTISAN.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE
SNEERING ALL THE TIME IN AN
OBVIOUS POLITICALLY SKEWED WAY.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIKE
PRESIDENT TRUMP BUT THERE HAS TO
BE SURELY SOME SEMBLANCE OF AN
ATTEMPT AT IMPARTIALITY OR
FAIRNESS.
FAIRNESS. I THINK IT’S ALL GONE OUT OF THE
WATER.
WATER. TRUMP DELIVERS MASSIVE RATINGS
FOR THESE NETWORKS.
HE DELIVERS MASSIVE CIRCULATION
NUMBERS.
NUMBERS. THEY KNOW THEY ARE GETTING ALL
THAT MONEY AND ALL THAT
ATTENTION AND ALL THOSE VIEWERS
AND SO ON.
THEY ARE GETTING THEM WITH A
CONSTANT DIAL OF TRUMP BASHING.
TO FEED THAT BEAST, THEY NEED
PEOPLE LIKE MICHAEL AVENATTI TO
COME ON MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT
AND SAY WHAT KIND OF MONSTER
DONALD TRUMP IS BUT DONALD TRUMP
IS NOT PERFECT.
HE HAS HIS FLAWS, BUT HE’S NOT
THE PERSON THEY KEEP TELLING
OTHER VIEWERS ALL DAY LONG THAT
HE IS.
HE IS. I THINK THIS P29 STORY HOPEFULLY
WILL GIVE THEM PAUSE TO JUST
STOP FOR A MOMENT AND BE MORE
AWARE OF WHO THEY ARE PUTTING ON
AND WHY THEY ARE PUTTING THEM
ON.
ON. >> Sean: DO YOU KNOW WHAT,
PEERS, POLICIES ARE WORKING.
NUMBERS ARE SPECTACULAR.
FEEL BETTER.
