Its not a conspiracy. Nowhere is the AIDS rate higher then in Africa still to this day. That is a fact. In Africans dont really like the use of condom. The red cross and other organizations handed them out freely in the past to curb the spread but they all ended up in the bin. AIDS is also to be found in MUCH BIGGER NUMBERS amongst the Rainbow and PRIDE tribes aka gays who casual have sex with strangers when out cruising in public toilets . Sure you get AIDS amongst hetrosexuals too but the fact remains that having sex with random strangers , often several per week may come with a price.
I am still astonished that when aids broke out in the mid eighties and decimated the rainbow members , that it did not spell the PR death nail for them. Instead, Elizabeth Taylor , Liza Minell (later on Lady Di) and other celebs got together , after Rock Hudson was struck down with Aids , looking a shadow of his former self and gaunt like a skeleton . Now , had it not been for a STAR struck down as Rock Hudson was, who knows what would have happened , regarding 'public opinions' on the issue . Who would have thought that the rainbow warriors would be allowed same sex marriage in church .
You can see where Trumpism itself wasn't even started by Trump or even Cohn himself. Fascism was called Hitlerism in a lot of places, Cohn had fascist tendencies. Cohn laid the foundations for a 21st century American form of fascism. Then Donald Trump built the house of Trumpism (with shoddy mob materials and illegal immigrant workers and on top of sand) on the foundation Cohn laid. Nothing Trump says or does quite makes sense until you research Roy Cohn and his decade long mentorship of Trump. Twilight zone thought experiment: what would Donald Trump have ended up like if his brother didn't die of alcoholism and if he didn't ever meet Roy Cohn. (I think his brothers death and all the Cohn propaganda corrupted him in a major way, and vastly multiplied his worst character traits and tendencies). Maybe he'd actually have become a successful billionaire and a philanthropist and family man.
Interview shows and explains Cohn and The Don...Just out of college a few years had a friend that was a friend of Roy. Some interesting dinners in E Village. Could see a very unhappy guy with deep real self esteem issues. Dinners were fun and insighful.
Why was he unhappy ? I'm curious because Cohn kinda fascinates me. And I'm not gonna lie I find him a little bit sexy ( before he got sick)maybe it's his pale blue eyes and his scary reputation
Do you think he was molested as a child? He indeed came across as unhappy and narcissistic, like he had this child-like yearning to be liked. And his ”macho” posing always seemed fake to me.
@@ningal135 Don't know anything about his childhood. Think he was an odd kid out type. That was true his whole life. Reports his mother was extremely domineering. As I recall he lived with her well into his 30s....Clearly scared in some way. Self-esteem was based on accomplishments not on personal values and character. Roy tried to please mother. Exactly like Don. Accept Don seemed to want to please Dad. His sister Federal Judge Mary Trump Barry said, "Donald does not have a moral compass." Same with Roy. So called success at any cost no matter how you do it or who you hurt.
@@johnedwardjones999 I think it was pretty clear that. He the other lawyer and McCarthery were all living a lie because of their times. Of course many in that day would marry a women and then still sneak out and around. You can see after he lies he looks down and blinks. That is his tell. Of course people are not that aware of body laungure back then maybe but you can see right though his lies. That is what would make a interesting movie is to show this trail but include him hiding all the things about the lifestyle that he and other "Powerful" men were into. I have also heard stories from people that lived through those late 60's, 70's and Early 80's. The drugs the ruthless ways people were dealing with each other. its kind of crazy.
That is really strange. Cohn reminds me of the james woods character in "once upon a time in america". I think it was the photo of cohn in the ridiculous chair that put me in mind of woods.
kinda funny, but you writing a comment where you call him "Roy Cohn" actually helps the searchability and lets youtube find it's way around misspellings.
Darian Alexander People like Roy cohn, Joe Macarthy and Donald trump tell ii like it is and have balls. That's what it takes to make things happen and make history happen. You liberals can t and will never understand and that.
It's 2021 and Chris Wallace is still literally the only single Fox news host/journalist who is legit and not just a propaganda parrot. Fox news viewers don't want to see Chris Wallace anymore than they want to agree with Rep. Cheney or Sen. Romney.

Greene and Sen. Hawley. So, Fox news viewers, Fox news itself, and the GOP are all doomed - they will all be dead and gone by 2050. More victims and collateral damage of the horrid life of Donald Trump. Who if there is a God will be dead long before 2050.

@@kathleengleason9805 Lol Cohn was a Democrat and a Jew and a gay who vociferously defended and supported the Republican party who are strongly against Democrats, and a lot of whom are anti semitic and homophobic. Roy Cohn was a living breathing paradox. Possibly the biggest hypocrite to ever have disgraced the earth. On a side note - I think Ol' Roy's uncanny ability to launder money and dodge taxes had not a little to do with his associations with high ranking NYC mafia members (most notably Carmine Galante and Fat Tony Salerno. I'm pretty sure he also had an association with the Gambino family Don either Carlo, Big Paul or John Gotti. Plus there were innumerable lower ranking mafia guys Cohn associated with and defended. Hell, there's a character in the Sopranos who plays the Soprano family attorney throughout the series, and his character was modeled after Roy Cohn and John Gotti attorney Bruce Cutler.
For one did he really think that Roy was gonna sit up there and be like yeah I have aids ? And second of all why is Cohn whining about people hating him after he acted a fool and pissed off alot of people when he was a big time lawyer ?
All Jews do. They are the eternal victims always . They play that card to the hilt . We have been persecuted for 4000 years . That runs in their vines . Part of their Shtick . They know how to extract their pound of flesh .
@@lenovovo I couldn’t care less. In term of advisors to Trumple I think Roger Stone is more like Cohen. And you’d know all about Stone’s sexuality. Do you think there’s a gay or bi gene then?
Roy Cohn sent an innocent mother of two to the electric chair when he was 23 years old. When asked if he had remorse Cohn responded, '”If I could have pulled the switch, I’d have done it myself.”
@@nickyzwan2122 Cohn had *ex parte* phone calls with the judge, pressuring him to send her to the electric chair. The evidence against her was weak, at best.
I wasn't aware Peter Frazier was an actual person. In the movie 'Citizen Cohn' they portrayed them as a live in couple and going everywhere together. I thought Roy Cohn was very closeted so I assumed that was made up for the movie.
Dee- Ann nah Cohn actually lived in a “neon closet” and he basically flaunted his sexuality in front of his conservative friends. It just wasn’t discussed. One thing about Cohn’s love life Citizen Cohn didn’t get right was he actually wasn’t the monogamous type and had a bunch of boyfriends, though Peter Fraser is one of the more serious ones.
I mean obviously it was going to come out that he had AIDS after he died so what a strange show of psychology that he would never admit that or even to being gay even while traveling around with a young man partner. Is that pride or just denial or maybe all the above.
It’s just unfair that hypocrites keep condemning him for not admitting he had aids, it was a very private health issue and he had the right to keep it to himself. The public shouldn’t have had felt so entitled to know everything about a man’s private life
lumitrac nope. Liberace also lied about not having aids, so did many other celebrities stricken with aids. Would you call them habitual liars? They just didn’t want the stigma, and ultimately it should be their choice to keep the health status private.

Back then AIDS was a gay issue, then they made it an African issue with marketing through TV advertising.
Its not a conspiracy. Nowhere is the AIDS rate higher then in Africa still to this day. That is a fact. In Africans dont really like the use of condom. The red cross and other organizations handed them out freely in the past to curb the spread but they all ended up in the bin. AIDS is also to be found in MUCH BIGGER NUMBERS amongst the Rainbow and PRIDE tribes aka gays who casual have sex with strangers when out cruising in public toilets . Sure you get AIDS amongst hetrosexuals too but the fact remains that having sex with random strangers , often several per week may come with a price.
I am still astonished that when aids broke out in the mid eighties and decimated the rainbow members , that it did not spell the PR death nail for them. Instead, Elizabeth Taylor , Liza Minell (later on Lady Di) and other celebs got together , after Rock Hudson was struck down with Aids , looking a shadow of his former self and gaunt like a skeleton . Now , had it not been for a STAR struck down as Rock Hudson was, who knows what would have happened , regarding 'public opinions' on the issue . Who would have thought that the rainbow warriors would be allowed same sex marriage in church .
til the white boy died
Sooo Trumpian too..."if the man's responsible for my salary....I'm loyal"
You can see where Trumpism itself wasn't even started by Trump or even Cohn himself. Fascism was called Hitlerism in a lot of places, Cohn had fascist tendencies. Cohn laid the foundations for a 21st century American form of fascism. Then Donald Trump built the house of Trumpism (with shoddy mob materials and illegal immigrant workers and on top of sand) on the foundation Cohn laid.
Nothing Trump says or does quite makes sense until you research Roy Cohn and his decade long mentorship of Trump.
Twilight zone thought experiment: what would Donald Trump have ended up like if his brother didn't die of alcoholism and if he didn't ever meet Roy Cohn. (I think his brothers death and all the Cohn propaganda corrupted him in a major way, and vastly multiplied his worst character traits and tendencies).
Maybe he'd actually have become a successful billionaire and a philanthropist and family man.
Does anyone have the first part of the Roy Cohn 60 minute segment?
Jeremy Strong is beyond genius as an actor, even the movie has a Succession vibe to it and I LOVEEEEEE IT
I have watched a few Cohn interviews and he comes across slightly better than I expected. Mike Wallace on the other hand gives off strong heal vibes.
You are who you chill with.
"chill"?? is that whaat you call it??
James Woods portrayed Cohn quite... believably.🤔
as did Al Pacino in Angels in America.
James Woods also looked sexy in the movie too especially when he said " you don't wanna make Roy cohn angry "
@@crystaljackson4911 I don't think anybody was lookin for "sexy" when they played Roy Cohn.
@@gregghanson6095 ...Nowhere to go but up.
@@gregghanson6095 lol
Interview shows and explains Cohn and The Don...Just out of college a few years had a friend that was a friend of Roy. Some interesting dinners in E Village. Could see a very unhappy guy with deep real self esteem issues. Dinners were fun and insighful.
Why was he unhappy ? I'm curious because Cohn kinda fascinates me. And I'm not gonna lie I find him a little bit sexy ( before he got sick)maybe it's his pale blue eyes and his scary reputation
@@crystaljackson4911 Well Crystal, you would not have had a chance with him because he was gay
Do you think he was molested as a child? He indeed came across as unhappy and narcissistic, like he had this child-like yearning to be liked. And his ”macho” posing always seemed fake to me.
@@ningal135 Don't know anything about his childhood. Think he was an odd kid out type. That was true his whole life. Reports his mother was extremely domineering. As I recall he lived with her well into his 30s....Clearly scared in some way. Self-esteem was based on accomplishments not on personal values and character. Roy tried to please mother.
Exactly like Don. Accept Don seemed to want to please Dad. His sister Federal Judge Mary Trump Barry said, "Donald does not have a moral compass."
Same with Roy. So called success at any cost no matter how you do it or who you hurt.
@@johnedwardjones999 I think it was pretty clear that. He the other lawyer and McCarthery were all living a lie because of their times. Of course many in that day would marry a women and then still sneak out and around. You can see after he lies he looks down and blinks. That is his tell. Of course people are not that aware of body laungure back then maybe but you can see right though his lies. That is what would make a interesting movie is to show this trail but include him hiding all the things about the lifestyle that he and other "Powerful" men were into. I have also heard stories from people that lived through those late 60's, 70's and Early 80's. The drugs the ruthless ways people were dealing with each other. its kind of crazy.
I can see why James Woods was cast to play him. They look so much alike. Too bad James Woods didn't sound more like him.
That is really strange. Cohn reminds me of the james woods character in "once upon a time in america". I think it was the photo of cohn in the ridiculous chair that put me in mind of woods.
This is what TOTAL DENIAL looks like mr Trump
I'm surprised you don't seem to know that Cohn was Trump's mentor and lawyer.
@bill bixby no need to drag Obama into every comment you have no answer for. It's a Trumpers thing. Nobody pays any attention to it
@bill bixby yeah, well just continue to shove your head up your ass and ignore the most incompetent moron imaginable and blame Obama.
I thought James Woods played him to a tee...excellent performance.
What is the title of the film. i was not aware of James Woods portraying him in a movie. Woods is very good at playing psychos
4:19 "That makes me smart!" - Donald Trump (Spitting Image of Cohn)
Found a liberal pussy lol
You know what Dustin, Stephen Miller could also be a spitting image of Roy Cohn
Please, change the title to "Cohn" from "Cohen" accuracy and for better searchability.
kinda funny, but you writing a comment where you call him "Roy Cohn" actually helps the searchability and lets youtube find it's way around misspellings.
@@AmericasComic youtube is a strange animal aint it
@@AmericasComic his surname is Cohn and not Cohen. So that's what it should be spelt as. There's no excuse to help spread around misspellings. 🙄
Something about McCarthy just reminds me so much of Ted Cruz.
I can't put my finger on it but I feel like Ted Cruz is our generations McCarthy
I totally agree. monster reincarnated.
Decent comparison
Nicholas Von Hoffman?? I thought it was Boris Johnson doing Movember for a moment. Almost had to double take...
Mike Wallace is trying to act tough but he attended all of Roy Cohns parties
Not to mention CBS slept with Cohn, politically speaking that is.
That is the double standard of it all and of course Only in America
Trump learned at his evil feet
Darian Alexander Nothing trump has done compares to Hillary, Obama and the dnc. They are the evil ones.
Hardcore Falangist All of Trumps strategies are based on this guy's teaching and the outcome will be similar.
Darian Alexander so protecting America and defending her against communists is bad? C'mon man.
Hardcore Falangist I'm not against protecting the country I'm against conartists and I can see this man was one and his protege is one as well.
Darian Alexander People like Roy cohn, Joe Macarthy and Donald trump tell ii like it is and have balls. That's what it takes to make things happen and make history happen. You liberals can t and will never understand and that.
Mike Wallace. Now I see why even though Chris Wallace is on Fox, he doesn't appear to have drunk the Fox Koolaid
It's 2021 and Chris Wallace is still literally the only single Fox news host/journalist who is legit and not just a propaganda parrot.
Fox news viewers don't want to see Chris Wallace anymore than they want to agree with Rep. Cheney or Sen. Romney.
The number of traditional conservative Republicans are dwindling and being replaced with fanatical Trumpist Republicans.
Fox news viewers want Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. They want Rep. Greene and Sen. Hawley.
So, Fox news viewers, Fox news itself, and the GOP are all doomed - they will all be dead and gone by 2050. More victims and collateral damage of the horrid life of Donald Trump. Who if there is a God will be dead long before 2050.
Why is his tongue so huge?
@@alanobrien4020 Well…I guess I walked into that one. 🤣
@@pam0626 as a gay guy I just saw an open goal and had to kick it in the net ,on serious level cohn was a very broken and desperately unhappy man ,his face and eyes were covered in deep rage ,I just wouldn't like to imagine what it was like wen he was on his own
@@alanobrien4020 For sure. The eyes say so much.
It got a lot of workout sticking it up trump's ass.
Pay attention boys and girls! This is how the men of the manor roll!
@@MoonLanta homosexual for your fucks who have not joined the 21st Century yet.
He hated himself and everyone else because of his homosexuality most likely
Roy never denies that he wasn't gay
This is awesome... New subscriber
How long did he die after this interview?
"Graduated from Columbia Law School at age 19" can you say smart?
Or connected jew to jew whether a gay or not
Booksmart and amoral to a fault.
depends on what you do with it.

@@kathleengleason9805
Lol Cohn was a Democrat and a Jew and a gay who vociferously defended and supported the Republican party who are strongly against Democrats, and a lot of whom are anti semitic and homophobic.
Roy Cohn was a living breathing paradox. Possibly the biggest hypocrite to ever have disgraced the earth.
On a side note - I think Ol' Roy's uncanny ability to launder money and dodge taxes had not a little to do with his associations with high ranking NYC mafia members (most notably Carmine Galante and Fat Tony Salerno. I'm pretty sure he also had an association with the Gambino family Don either Carlo, Big Paul or John Gotti. Plus there were innumerable lower ranking mafia guys Cohn associated with and defended.
Hell, there's a character in the Sopranos who plays the Soprano family attorney throughout the series, and his character was modeled after Roy Cohn and John Gotti attorney Bruce Cutler.
One of the most horrid humans that ever lived, good ol’ self-loathing roy. Legal evil. Peace ✌️
He distorted the justice system to make it to prove your innocence
This is the father of the MAGA movement.
Fascinating stories
For one did he really think that Roy was gonna sit up there and be like yeah I have aids ? And second of all why is Cohn whining about people hating him after he acted a fool and pissed off alot of people when he was a big time lawyer ?
Always plays the victim.
All Jews do. They are the eternal victims always . They play that card to the hilt . We have been persecuted for 4000 years . That runs in their vines . Part of their Shtick . They know how to extract their pound of flesh .
"Liver cancer"
I can see the gay coming from his Mouth.
go watch that movie..Murder Inc about NY Mobsters, with Peter Falk of Colombo fame...
it's Roy Cohn, not Cohen*
This is the monster who made a monster, Donald Trump.
did he actually think he didnt come off as gay.....??
The ones in the closet believe it! ahahahaha
I came here because I watched "Trump: An American Dream" to see if this guy is as evil as it seemed.
me too ")
And hes worse.
Watch CITIZEN COHN, recently added to youtube
Yeah me too and I'm not gonna lie I find Roy a little bit sexy maybe it's because of those ice blue eyes and his scary reputation 😈😈
@@crystaljackson4911 What is it about women that makes them attracted to assholes? Serious question.
Roy Cohn, Donald Trump's BFF and Mentor, it shows.
Until he was dying of AIDS. Then Trump turned his back on him. #SomeFRIEND
Trump completely tossed him aside in the end.
Found the frustrated beta.
I’m sorry I love Roy Cohn
A guy who destroyed people in public for everything he was in private...the definition of a hypocrite
Sounds like Trump to me.
You know what ckom0007, Stephen Miller is a lot like Roy Cohn, do you think that Stephen Miller is gay
@@lenovovo
I couldn’t care less.
In term of advisors to Trumple I think Roger Stone is more like Cohen. And you’d know all about Stone’s sexuality. Do you think there’s a gay or bi gene then?
@@ckom0007 Yeah, I understand ckom007, it's all good

Okay! Thx
What year was this?
March 86
The apprentice movie brought me here
What's the go with those ears?
Face lift?
Him and Robert Durst probably had a lot of fun .
while thousands of lives were ruined because of them.
He looks really thirsty.
It's the thrush that accompanies the disease.
He had aids what you expect
Wonder what that McCarthy lawyer fee was really abd were did it come from. That would've took congress and then some to find out.
God must of hated himself
He just oozse hate
Roy Cohn sent an innocent mother of two to the electric chair when he was 23 years old. When asked if he had remorse Cohn responded, '”If I could have pulled the switch, I’d have done it myself.”
@@JR-dh2oq Ethel Rosenberg. Not sure she was innocent.
@@nickyzwan2122 Cohn had *ex parte* phone calls with the judge, pressuring him to send her to the electric chair. The evidence against her was weak, at best.
The Rosenbergs were BOTH guilty of espionage and deserved the chair. Too bad we don’t execute spies anymore! Roy is my idol!!
She was just as guilty as her husband!
She was a communist. She was selling intel to the Russians.
Anyone know the date of this interview. I see that he died in August of 86 and was just curious as to when this interview took place.
'76 I think.
@@gregghanson6095 Gotta be later than that as AIDS was not a public health concern until mid-eighties
@@milart12 maybe so. I think the date of this interview is listed on the video. thx
This interview was in March of 1986 .... 5 months before he died
not them showing his boyfriend on tv
McCarthy ? I always wondered about him
@@ningal135 McCarthy yes I kinda thought so but never read that anywhere
Trump's buddy
Ya he got shit done for him and helped him make millions. That’s the business world.
@@Smokealotofblunts morally and ethically bankrupt. Couldn't even be honest about his own life. Just like trump.
@Chris trump turned into him. Unethical pathological liar.
I wasn't aware Peter Frazier was an actual person. In the movie 'Citizen Cohn' they portrayed them as a live in couple and going everywhere together. I thought Roy Cohn was very closeted so I assumed that was made up for the movie.
Dee- Ann nah Cohn actually lived in a “neon closet” and he basically flaunted his sexuality in front of his conservative friends. It just wasn’t discussed. One thing about Cohn’s love life Citizen Cohn didn’t get right was he actually wasn’t the monogamous type and had a bunch of boyfriends, though Peter Fraser is one of the more serious ones.
"A Cohn hater" Why does that sound so familiar. 🤔
I mean obviously it was going to come out that he had AIDS after he died so what a strange show of psychology that he would never admit that or even to being gay even while traveling around with a young man partner. Is that pride or just denial or maybe all the above.
It’s just unfair that hypocrites keep condemning him for not admitting he had aids, it was a very private health issue and he had the right to keep it to himself. The public shouldn’t have had felt so entitled to know everything about a man’s private life
It's just another nail in the coffin confirming this man was an absolute habitual liar to a fault.
lumitrac nope. Liberace also lied about not having aids, so did many other celebrities stricken with aids. Would you call them habitual liars? They just didn’t want the stigma, and ultimately it should be their choice to keep the health status private.
he persecuted and vilified many politicians for being homosexual.
@@Irene-yc8oq But there was a serious correlation between moral licentiousness and depravity of mind with AIDS.
Can u repost this with the VOLUME louder please? Thanks for posting :)
I posted it. that's all I can do! I cant change the volume ! only YOU can do that!
the sound is fine
ok. Thanks sam---maybe I need a new pc lol -- I have wanted to watch this 60 minutes interview for a long time! Roy c was a monster lol
Could NEVER understand the infatuation with Cohen and his 'sickness' He is just so obviously 'disgusting', can't 'buy' any of his 'presentations'.
Power. Enough charm to cover over the underside.
How Trumpian!
Man asked him if he had AID and he said "call up Dr. Dick" 🤣🤣🤣 definitely should've known he had aids with that statement
Pressing him about having AIDS, absolutely disgusting and cruel. And why should the NIH disclose such a thing?
Pure Evil
3:00 timetamp about you'll find the apprentice scene
Everyone is quick with the damning cliches, but the fact is he was a brilliant lawyer.
@ghasan23 Speaking as a gay man... Fuck you.
Yes, he was brilliant at being an extremely crooked, dishonest, and despicable lawyer. Hope He's enjoying the heat in hell now.
@@MarsMellow84 nobody is free of sin. Only God and only He has a say were people will go, not you.
