VERY CLOSE. EVEN AS IT HAS LET ALL OF THESE
OTHER CASES BE AT ARM’S LENGTH
SXFRLT THEN WE GOT THE BIG NEWS
TODAY.
TODAY. WHICH IS ABOUT THIS UNFAMILIAR
CHARACTER.
CHARACTER. I GUESS HE’S PROBABLY FAMILIAR
BY NOW.
BY NOW. IF YOU KNOW WHO HE IS, I KNOW
WHAT YOU’RE THINKING.
I KNOW YOU’RE GIGGLING.
HIS NAME IS PECKER.
HIS LAST NAME IS PECKER.
IT MAKES EVERY NEWS STORY ABOUT
HIM A LITTLE GIGGLY AND
DISTRACTING.
DISTRACTING. I’M 45 YEARS OLD.
AS FAR AS THAT MEANS I’M JUST 9
YEARS OLD TIMES FIVE.
IT’S FUNNY.
IT’S FUNNY. HIS NAME IS PECKER.
THAT’S FUNNY.
THAT’S FUNNY. WHEN IT COMES TO THE PICKLE THAT
MR. PECKER HAS PUT THE PRESIDENT
IN, IT IS SORT OF WORTH LETTING
IT OUT.
IT OUT. GIGGLE THROUGH IT.
LET THAT HAPPEN.
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT’S FUNNY.
THEN YOU DO STILL HAVE TO KIND
OF SOBERLY GRAPPLE WITH THE FACT
THIS GUY, MR. PECKER, HAS LONG
BEEN A REALLY CENTRAL PART OF
DONALD TRUMP’S LIFE.
PARTICULARLY MR. TRUMP’S
CAREFULLY MANAGED PUBLIC IMAGE.
DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
IT BECAME DESPERATELY UNSUBTLE.
IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO
NOTICE.
NOTICE. YOU COULD NOT BUY A QUART OF
MILK WITHOUT BEING CONFRONTED
WITH THE UNSUBTLETY OF THIS
RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE HIS EMPIRE
INCLUDES THE "NATIONAL
ENQUIRER."
ENQUIRER." AND YOU CAN WATCH THE
PROGRESSION OF DONALD TRUMP’S
QUEST FOR THE PRESIDENCY OVER
THE COURSE OF THE COVERS OF THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER."
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER." WHEN IT CAME TO THE END OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY WHERE THE
LAST MAN STANDING AGAINST HIM
WAS TED CRUZ, THIS WAS THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" COVER.
TED CRUZ FATHER LINKED TO JFK
ASSASSINATION.
ASSASSINATION. THAT’S CRAZY IN THE MIDDLE OF A
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TO SEE A
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" TRYING TO
HELP OUT THEIR FAVORITE
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT, PUTTING
OUT SOMETHING LOONEY TUNE THING.
THIS WAS NOT AN UNWELCOME
INTRUSION INTO THE CAMPAIGN BY
THIS PUBLICATION.
THIS PUBLICATION. THE CANDIDATE HIMSELF WAS
TOTALLY ON BOARD WITH THIS.
>> THERE WAS A PICTURE ON THE
FRONT PAGE OF THE "NATIONAL
ENQUIRER" WHICH DOES HAVE
CREDIBILITY.
CREDIBILITY. AND ON THE COVER OF THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER" THERE IS A
PICTURE OF HIM AND CRAZY LEE
HARVEY OSWALD HAVING BREAKFAST.
THIS WAS A MAGAZINE THAT
FRANKLY, IN MANY ALMOSTS, SHOULD
BE VERY RESPECTED.
I MEAN, IF THAT WAS "THE NEW
YORK TIMES," THEY WOULD HAVE
GOTTEN PULITZER PRIZES FOR THEIR
REPORTING.
REPORTING. I’VE ALWAYS.
I’VE ALWAYS. WHY DIDN’T THE "NATIONAL
ENQUIRER" GET PULITZER PRIZE?
>> THAT’S MY FAVORITE
PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGERY OF MIKE
PENSION AS HE IS ABSORBING WHAT
DONALD TRUMP IS SAYING ABOUT
THE -- THE LEE HARVEY -- HE SAID
PULITZER PRIZE AGAIN!
DONALD TRUMP PERFECTLY IN HIS
ELEMENT TALKING ABOUT THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER."
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER." AND MIKE PENCE SWALLOWING HIS
TONGUE THINKING, WOW, THAT WILL
BE MY NEW LIFE.
SO THUS ENDS THE REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY CAMPAIGN IN
2016.
2016. ON THAT HIGH NOTE.
AND THIS STARTS THE ELECTION.
THEIR MAIN STORY, THE BREAD AND
BUTTER, EXPLOITATION STUFF.
DYING CHER BROKE AND ALONE.

TRUMP’S FACE.
TRUMP’S FACE. BUT THROWS THING YOU’RE SUPPOSED
TO ATTRIBUTE TO HILLARY CLINTON.
HERE’S THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

MENTAL BREAKDOWN.
MENTAL BREAKDOWN. EATING HERSELF TO DEATH.
AND BILL CLINTON HAS ALZHEIMER’S
AND PARKINSON’S.
AND PARKINSON’S. BY MID SEMI, THE "NATIONAL
ENQUIRER" OBTAINED THAT THEY
HAVE GOTTEN HER FULL MEDICAL
FILE.
FILE. THEY GOT THAT NICE PICTURE OF
HER.
HER. IN HER MEDICAL FILE, THERE’S
NEWS OF HER VIOLENT RAGES, HER
LIVER DAMAGE FROM BOOZE.
THREE STROKES, AND ALSO,
ALZHEIMER’S.
ALZHEIMER’S. THEN DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, NOT
SURE IF THIS IS DIRECTLY DERIVE
FROM THE MEDICAL FILE BUT JAIL
CLINTON NOW.
CLINTON NOW. ALSO THERE ON THE FRONT PAGE.
RIGHT BEFORE THE ELECTION, THIS
WAS "NATIONAL ENQUIRER’S"
HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.
HALLOWEEN SPECIAL. 24 YEARS OF COVER-UPS.
HIDE HER SLEAZY AFFAIRSFUL PAY
HUSH MONEY TO HOOKERS?
WHO NOW CAN THE -- THIS WAS THE
FOLLOWING WEEK.
FOLLOWING WEEK. PART TWO OF CLINTON’S HITMAN
EXPLOSIVE TELL-ALL.
EXPLOSIVE TELL-ALL. HILLARY HOOKED ON NARCOTICS?
ALSO, GAY SEX STING.
SOMETHING INVOLVING HILLARY
BEING GAY IN A MOTEL.
HILLARY BLACK MAILED THE FBI.
NOT BLACK MAILED BY THE FBI.
BUT SHE BLACK MAILED THE FBI.
THAT’S A NUMBER.
THEN THERE WAS THEIR ELECTION
SPECIAL.
SPECIAL. THIS WAS THEIR MASTER PIECE.
THIS WAS ON THE NEWS STANDS IN
EVERY GROCERY STORE IN AMERICA
WHEN AMERICA WENT TO THE POLLS
FOR ELECTION DAY.
THEY REALLY BOILED IT DOWN FOR
THE FINAL PUSH.
HILLARY, CORRUPT, RACIST,
CRIMINAL.
CRIMINAL. LOOK AT THE MIDDLE SECTION ON
THE BOTTOM.
THE BOTTOM. HILLARY USES THE "N" WORD AND
HATES BLACK PEOPLE.
THAT’S IN EVERY GROCERY STORE IN
AMERICA.
AMERICA. RIGHT?
RIGHT? AND EVEN IF YOU DON’T BUY IT,
THAT’S THE COVER.
AND THEN TRUMP WINS THE ELECTION
AND THE ENQUIRER’S COVER TAKES
REMARKABLY SUNNY TURN.
THIS WAS THEIR FIRST POST
ELECTION COVER.
ELECTION COVER. WE TOLD YOU SO.
DONALD TRUMP, MY FIRST 100 DAYS.
MY PLAN TO ENSURE WORLD PEACE.
AND THEN WEEK AFTER WEEK, MORE
OF THE SAME.
ILLEGALS CAUGHT INVADING
AMERICA.
AMERICA. CONSTRUCTION PLANTS AND
BLUEPRINTS INSIDE.
BLUEPRINTS INSIDE. BECAUSE TRUMP MUST BUILD THE
WALL.
WALL. TRUMP WAS ABLE TO AND FOES
MUSLIM SPIES IN OBAMA’S CIA.
THEY WERE INFESTING OBAMA’S
CRAFT.
CRAFT. STILL BEFORE HE WAS EVEN SWORN.
IN MERRY CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS
EVE, TRUMPETING THAT BILL
CLINTON WAS DOWN TO 117 POUNDS
AND DYING.
AND DYING. ONE OF THE OBAMA DAUGHTERS IS
DYING.
DYING. AND TRUMP HAS TAKEN CHARGE.
THIS IS DURING TRANSITION.
HE HAS TAKEN CHARGE AND HE’S
TEARING UP DANGEROUS DEALS.
HE’S ARRANGED PEACE BETWEEN
ISRAEL AND ITS ENEMIES.
HE SLAPPED DOWN ARROGANT CHINA.
AND THIS IS HOW THEY STARTED THE
NEW YEAR IN 2017.
A GLAMOUR SHOT OF THE FIRST
FAMILY.
FAMILY. THIS IS NOT JUST A PRO DONALD
TRUMP PUBLICATION.
TRUMP PUBLICATION. THIS IS LIKE FOX NEWS ON DRUGS.
BUT DAVID PECK HERE RUNS THE
"NATIONAL ENQUIRER," WHO RUNS
THE MEDIA END, HE HAS BEEN ON
THIS TRAIN FOR A LONG TIME.
IN THE LATE 1990s, HE RAN A
MAGAZINE LITERALLY CALLED TRUMP
STYLE.
STYLE. A WHOLE MAGAZINE ABOUT TRUMP AND
STYLE AND TRUMP STYLISHNESS.
AS LONG AS AS 2010, THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS THAT
DAVID PECK HER PROMOTED A
POSSIBLE TRUMP PRESIDENCY.
AND YOU KNOW, MAYBE DAVID PECKER
JUST LOVES DONALD TRUMP.
THAT IS NO CRIME.
BUT IF THAT’S WHAT IT IS, IT IS
A VERY DEEP IS THAT LONGSTANDING
LOVE.
LOVE. "WASHINGTON POST" REPORTS THAT
DURING THE 2016 CAMPAIGN, PECKER
ALLOWED DONALD TRUMP TO
PERSONALLY DIRECT AND SELECT
STORIES LIKE THESE ONES.
HILLARY, SIX MONTHS TO LIVE AND
HILLARY’S FULL MEDICAL FILE FOR
THE COVER OF THE ENQUIRER.
TRUMP GOT TO PICK THOSE.
IN A REMARKABLE SERIES OF
REPORTING, PIECING TOGETHER,
BUYING UP EXCLUSIVE IT IS TRUE
DAMAGING STORIES ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP’S SEX LIFE SO THOSE
STORIES WOULD BE KEPT QUIET
BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN.
SCANDAL TURNED UP IN THAT
REPORTING, HAS NOW TURNED INTO
CRIMINAL CONSEQUENCES GUILTY
PLEAS FROM MICHAEL COHEN THIS
WEEK.
WEEK. HE PLED GUILTY IN CONJUNCTION
WITH DAVID PECKER AND PECKER’S
COMPANY, AMERICAN MEDIA.
THEY SAID THAT AS EARLY AS THE
SUMMER OF 2015, PECKER
COORDINATED WITH SXOEN WITH ONE
OR MORE MEMBERS OF THE DONALD
TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
TRUMP CAMPAIGN. TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM IN WHICH
PECKER AND THE "NATIONAL
ENQUIRER" WOULD ASSIST IN
IDENTIFYING AND NEUTRALIZING
NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT TRUMP.
SO THEY’VE BEEN NAMED AS A
PARTICIPANT IN THE CONSPIRACY.
LOTS OF INTERESTING QUESTIONS
THAT THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION, THE
TRUMP BUSINESS, HAVING BEEN
INVOLVED.
INVOLVED. PEOPLE ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
HAVING BEEN INVOLVED.
THE PRESIDENT DESCRIBED AS
DIRECTING AND PARTICIPATING IN
THAT CRIMINAL SCHEME.
TODAY, THE FIRST "VANITY FAIR"
AND THEN "WALL STREET JOURNAL"
REPORTED THAT DAVID PECKER AND
HIS CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER, A MAN
NAMED DYLAN HOWARD, THEY HAVE
BOTH NOW FLIPPED AND ARE
COOPERATING WITH THE SPECIAL
COUNSEL’S OFFICE.
COUNSEL’S OFFICE. PECKER IS SAID TO HAVE IMMUNITY
IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS COOPERATION.
DAVID PECKER IS NOT A RANDOM OR
PRIFRT FIGURE IN THE PRESIDENT’S
LIFE.
LIFE. THIS IS PROBABLY THE PRESIDENT’S
GREATEST ALLY IN BUILDING HIS
PUBLIC IMAGE OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF DECADES.
THIS IS THE GUY, THE COMPANY
THAT SPECIFICALLY HAS MANAGED
THE PUBLIC IMAGE, IN PART BY
AGGRESSIVELY MANAGING SECRETS
THAT TRUMP BELIEVED WOULD BE
MOST DAMAGING TO ANYMORE THEY
WERE PUBLICLY EXPOSED.
AND NOW THAT IS WHO IS TALKING
ON FEDERAL PROSECUTORS.
ONCE YOU’RE COOPERATING WITH
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS, YOU DON’T
JUST GET TO TELL TALES ABOUT
MICHAEL COHEN.
MICHAEL COHEN. YOU DON’T GET TO CHOOSE ANY ONE
THEY KNOW THAT YOU’LL COOPERATE
ABOUT.
ABOUT. ONCE YOU’RE COOPERATING,
PARTICULARLY IF YOU’VE BEEN
GIVEN IMMUNITY IN EXCHANGE FOR
YOUR COOPERATION, YOU’RE
COOPERATING ON EVERYTHING.
IN THIS CASE IT MAY TURN OUT TO
BE FASCINATING.
BE FASCINATING. ONCE ELECTED, THE NATIONAL
ENQUIRER AND AMERICAN MEDIA TOOK
FEW STRANGE TURNS INCLUDING THIS
SPRING WHEN THEY PUBLISHED THIS.
THIS IS A BIG GLOSSY PUBLICATION
THAT HAS NO ADVERTISEMENTS.
IT IS PRICED AT $13.99.
IT WAS PUT ON THE SHELVES AT
WALMARTS AROUND AMERICA.
IT IS DECLARING THE AWESOMENESS
OF SAUDI ARABIA.
IT LITERALLY DESCRIBES SAUDI
ARABIA AS THE MAGIC KINGDOM
THUFLTOUT THE BOOK, THAT’S HOW
IT IS DESCRIBE.
DISNEY MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO
SAY ABOUT THAT.
THIS AMI PUBLICATION FROM
EARLIER THIS YEAR INCLUDES THIS
PHOTO OF THIS ODD DUCK GUY IN
THE OVAL OFFICE POSING WITH
DONALD TRUMP BEHIND THE RESOLUTE
DESK.
DESK. THIS GUY IS AN ADVISER TO THE
SAUDI CROWN PRINCEST REPORTEDLY
GOT INTO THE OVAL OFFICE AT THE
INVITATION OF DAVID PECKER FROM
AMERICA MEDIA.
AMERICA MEDIA. WHAT THE HECK IS THE "NATIONAL
ENQUIRER" DOING PROMOTING SAUDI
ARABIA TO UNSUSPECTING WALMART
SHOPPERS ALL OVER AMERICA ON
SOMETHING THEY MUST HAVE LOST A
GAZILLION DOLLARS?
GAZILLION DOLLARS? AND WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO
WITH THEM GETTING SAUDI
INTERESTS INTO THE OVAL OFFICE
TO MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT?
AGAIN, ONCE YOU ARE COOPERATING
WITH FEDERAL PROSECUTORS, YOU
DON’T GET TO PICK AND CHOOSE
WHAT IT IS YOU’RE COOPERATING
ABOUT.
ABOUT. IT IS EVERYTHING.
AND NOW TONIGHT, THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS HAS JUST REPORTED THAT AT
THE "NATIONAL ENQUIRER," AT
AMERICAN MEDIA, IT TURNS OUT
THEY KEPT ALL THEIR BEST STUFF,
INCLUDING ALL THEIR BEST TRUMP
STUFF, LOCKED UP IN A SAFE THAT
EVERYBODY KNEW ABOUT.
THAT STORY HAS JUST BROKEN.
