- A Fact-Based Conversation
Back in October 22, David joined me on Economics Matters -- the Podcast to discuss The Rise or Fall? of Donald Trump. The former President is clearly on the rise. The bookies put his odds at over 50 percent. There is no one better placed to discuss Trump's rise, fall, and potential resurrection than David Cay Johnston -- author of not one, not two, but three books on the former president.
Love Trump, hate Trump -- no one is in between, you will love this podcast. Yes, David has his own view of Trump, which he doesn't hide, every statement he makes about specifics is based on facts, not opinion. That's, in part, why only the select few earn the Pulitzer. The other part is sheer brilliance.
David's an economics and tax specialist. He teaches law at the University of Syracuse. In 2001, David won the Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting. His Wiki page goes on at great, spell-binding length. Please read it. David's arguably our nation's top investigative journalist.
Here's a list of David's Trump books.

WHY do we allow probably the most OUTRAGEOUS criminal in moder history to CONTINUE his behavior?
You speak of behavior. Take some time and slowly study human group-behavior. What you discover will make you sick to your stomach, but that is who we are. It can be used for good, it can be used for profit, i.e., making money or even worse, it can be used for Evil, i.e., self-glorification, which is what Hitler and Stalin did and what Trump will do if given the chance.

America.
Please vote 💙 🇺🇸. The world needs a sane, democratic and smart America. Love from northern neighbours and friends. 🇨🇦
Thank you. I think most of my friends and myself astonished that such a deeply flawed person might win the presidency in November.. it defies imagination why so many people would vote for him..
@@frednorman1 It is beyond depressing how incredibly stupid and gullible seventy five million Americans are. It warrants our doom.
Vote 💙, get this obscene person well away from politics, he’s really dangerous.
He’ll never go away even if he loses the election. He’s like Covid, you can try to tamp it down, but it’ll mutate and pop up again. He will figure out a way to further screw up this country.
Why do you insist on being as obnoxious as the people who post "Trump 2024" in the comments sections? Voting blue hasn't helped. That's how he ended up with Biden as president and his administration expanded the federal government further, increased the national debt to the point where Trump's own contributions look modest by comparison, and he sanctioned that Russian pipeline that preceded the war in Ukraine.
Trump is a Russian traitor and their puppet. He must be stopped.
You are totally wrong about the national debt. Trump is the one who inflated the debt 💸 in the $Trillions. Biden is the one who has steadfastly reduced it by about $1 trillion. Truly
@@SirBlackReeds
You're obviously an enthusiastic consumer of right-wing propaganda--AKA The Russian Federation's Ministry of Information. Just like Donald, another of Putin's "useful idiots."
Anything and Everything that the 45th does - is done to BENEFIT HIM.
Any idea why Smirnov , the FBI informant, who was just arrested, tried to tell nasty tales about Joe Biden? Could he have been financed by someone?
or Putin
Yeah he has been in court with fake lawsuits since he changed to a repub and ran against HRC close to 8 years of fake lawsuits. Before then he was good guy. Stormy was on Jimmy Kimmel and told everyone nothing happened between her and Trump but so many dims don't look for the truth they are brainwashed by the lying media. Trump has lost millions because he is for America not the cabal. How do poor presidents become millionaires and buy island homes? They are on the take. Putin has rescued Ukrainians who are Russian. Ukraine the size of Texas was seized so cabal could set up bioweapon labs also adrenachrome factories and miltary landing strips. Also places to hide sex trafficked children that putin and his military have rescued. Putin, Xi, Modi and Trump as CIC, and many other world leaders formed the alliance to take down drug and sex trafficking sites all over the world. Don't believe me. Check out the executive orders Trump has put in place and Biden has extended. They had hoped to set up missles and tell Putin if he doesn't comply with the evil they nuke all their people. If the msm attacks someone they are doing good for the world. The USA is number 1 in the purchasing and distributing children for sex trafficking and adrenachrome selling. Hollywood is a big purchaser of the drug. Hence why the border must be open. See the Sound of Freedom. No excuse for being used to hate good, the truth is out there.
@@pitdog75I was going to say the same thing.
The Supreme court is aiding and abetting Trump's crimes for their own agenda and this posing a serious risk to our national security!
How stupid that a president can run things from jail! And we accept that? My goodness!
The amendments need amending again to keep up with the times.
@@TheSimidog Exactly. Republicans won’t do it though.
Yes, that should totally be changed.
It would really suck if Trump somehow "won" 2024 (that's only in quotation marks because Trump spent the entire latter part of hispresidency trying to sabotage Biden's candidacy when he was SUPPOSED to be concentrating on his Own presidency, and it's easy to see he is doing the exact same now)...but I do not think our current President would call on his supporters to crash the successive President's inauguration, no matter who won! Democrats just have more class than that.
@@TheSimidog wouldn’t that mean Republicans would help too which they won’t?
Mr. David Cay Johnson is one of the best, trusted and respected journalists in his experience and in depth knowledge and analytical reviews on CRIMINAL Donald J Trump. Thumbs Up to Mr. Johnson.
Gotta point out -- its Johnston not Johnson.
Couldn't help myself...
Have a fantastic day 😊
TRAITORS should have NO rights to APPEALS or ALLOWED to be FREE on BAIL! VOTE BLUE
being blue will warp your mind remember ohio...
It's become beyond ridiculous this continues drumpf roaming free ranting so much vile
Good luck America 🇺🇸, your future is inside the ballot box in Nov’ 24. It is only the Americans who must decide their fate. Greetings from Ballito, South Africa 🇿🇦👍🏼
Thank you for your support - we need it. ❤
I, for one, am voting Blue. I hope there will be enough of us to thwart the march to fascism
Zuluvegans, we got some very stupid, uneducated people in the US. Anything can happen.
@@meredithheath5272👍👍👍👍
@@meredithheath5272: There are plenty of people who will vote for the Democratic party in Nov'24. The problem, between now and then, is making sure that voting rights are upheld. Marc Elias and his law firm are checking all states, and sueing where needed, to get better balanced gerrymandered maps, among other things.
@dianedenham5259
You really mean voting rights for the illegal migrants.
Why is this information not mainstream Media. Trump and all enablers like Speaker Mike Johnson must be voted out and go to prison.
Cause mainstream media take a cowardly 'middle ground'...you never know you know...
Be mainstream?
Try eroteme.
You're just pissy at the Speaker because he's pro-Trump. Never mind that he's managed to sour his standing with the MAGA wing of the GOP that there's serious talk of him getting ousted.
Don’t tell trumpers they might not want to listen, they NEED to hear it
They haven’t been listening since the orange buffoon had a “reality” show on tv and the viewing public ate it up! I can honestly say that I never watched a single episode of the show.
On The Midias Touch Ben read a comment from a supporter. He said next time you think about voting trump…what makes u think u know him better than all the generals CIA ND VP Pence and ALL the others who have told n proven his treachery
Hearing and absorbing are 2 different things. It's like buying a car that turns out to be a lemon. Most people don't want to admit they were wrong or that they misjudged the situation.
@@marieberberich4445 Yes, but I don't think they're enough of them and Trump has not expanded among independents.
Very interesting interview David Cay Johnston.
If anyone thinks that is NOT 911 call for a country, I do not know what is!!!!!!!😢
David Cay Johnston is always worth the listen
I may take the Bar Exam after a decade of Donald Trump! I believe I can pass it too!!
😅
Go for it. You may well do a service to our country.
donald trump will not stop the rot setting into california but, he will censure that narcississtic man obama and his hench people hunter james and the big guy
The MAJOR reprecusion of trumps behavior will be on the YOUTH WATCING HIM DO THIS
And getting away with it.
Only if he gets away with it.
I grew up in the 1960’s and by 9 years old, I lost all respect for our leaders. I watched Walter Cronkite expose the reality of Vietnam and then racial riots. Nixon was the icing on the "its all a sham" cake. We were a generation of teens who tuned in, turned on and dropped out BUT it was Marijuana and sitins. Today it is AR15s and fentynal. God help us
There are mixed messages but today's youth seem mostly to loathe Trump, primarily because of annulling Roe v Wade and also because of his racism. So, the repercussion could be very positive for Democracy. Just because they're furious at Biden because of Gaza doesn't mean they will vote for Trump and hopefully enough of them will realize that to get rid of Trump, you have to vote for Biden.
Yes,thank you, we reap wat we sow! Being okay with his lying is teaching our children that lying is okay😢.🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Mr. Johnson is just the best. Oh, how smart & wise!
Personally…
I might have been glad with merely earning a paycheck.
Johnston has written 3 books on DJT over the past 8 or 9 years. Johnston met him in the late 80s.
This stuff is sadly on the Fringe. David Johnston needs to hook up with the Midas guys and MSNBC. I’ve never heard of Kotlikoff. If you are reading comments sir please give this interview to the Midas guys or the Lincoln Project. More people should hear this interview than your small listener group.
David is getting a lot more exposure lately…
He's been on Meidas Touch and MSNBC. It doesn't help because they only want him because he's critical of Trump. Heck, he could spout nothing but damned lies about Trump and they'd still want him because they're that petty. Also, The Lincoln Project is a lost cause. They could have been a force for good, but their own conduct reduced them to effectively being a bunch of vapid cheerleaders for Biden. They tried cheering on DeSantis, then Haley, and now they'll vote for Biden to keep Trump out of office as if there's no third option.
@@liannebedard5521/@RussellRoesner
Do today's children pay attention to books or do you ever look at books? David Cay Johnston has authored TEN books dating back to 1992 and has been interviewed dozens of times.
Since so many young folks are JUST NOW discovering him, shows how many are getting SO MUCH of today's "news" EXCLUSIVELY from the Internet.
Amen what a bunch of malarkey..a Trump hater..this to me TDS..
Grateful for this post; praying for our democracy…❤️🙏🌹
AND VOTING!!
Vote for Biden and protect America from ignorance.
Thank the gods for “The Weird Dude” as Mr Trump refers to David Cay Johnson. Mr Johnson has spent untold hours tracking Donald’s shenanigans legal/illegal. I am very damned grateful as we ALL SHOULD BE that he has done this work keeping track of Donald. DCJ was the first to show how gosh darn dangerous trump is… you’re a hero Mr Johnson. Thank you. I will demand the American people give you a Medal of Honor for your work. Bless you sir. I appreciate all you’ve done. Times ten times ten!!
It's JohnsTon. With a T. But, yes, he's the greatest.
DCJ won a Pulitzer Prize. That ain't easy.
Amazing man listen to him every Tuesday on the Mark Thompson show on UA-cam .
What’s more amazing is how all his research pales in comparison with what we know right out in the open with the corrupt Biden and Clintons who we are to told to pretend are morally superior.
Thank you, I will follow on Tuesdays@@karinwallace3031
It is clear that we need more safeguards in our system as we see what has happened with both the hyper partisan Supreme Court and with Trump and the Republican Party. Hopefully enough people will realize the danger and turn out en masse to put Democrats in control until we can get this worked out.
We HAVE safeguards in our system, specifically impeachment. The trouble is the safeguard WAS NOT USED,
@@elizabethsohler6516yes,, no thanks to Mitch McConnell!!
@bevtaylor5466
You NATO bots keep trying.
How stupid are you? If the Supreme Court is hyper-partisan, then why did it throw out Trump's election fraud case? Also, voting in Democrats hasn't been helping. You people just vote in the Democratic equivalent of MAGA. Two sides of the same coin.
@@leotachaney7322 In all fairness, McConnell was one of the guys keeping Trump in check back when he was president.
Great interview, Great insights on the person of Donald Trump.
The Justices are living their best lives. History will judge them. We will not be here to find out how it will be written.
🤬history, we need to rectify this now!
Johnson should factualize it in a book now.😊😅😂
@@jovialbivouacker99I agree, Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh need to be deeply investigated and impeached and spend the rest of their lives in prison!
Clarence Thomas wants to make a mark in history. He will. A big black mark. He has no ethics.
I stayed on for David, not the boring host.
David Cay Johnston, dynamic and right on target, gave some very interesting pertinent info about the Trump situation.
An important exposé and analysis.
I agree with comments below, why encourage Trump supporters to stop listening?!! They need this info!!
“None so deaf as those who do not want to hear..,”. Not sure whose words these are, but my grandmother repeated them …often..,
They only listen to what they want to hear. Facts don’t matter to them and won’t be heard.
Wonderful man David Caye Johnston he is on the Mark Thompson show on UA-cam every Tuesday . I love listening to him .
Supreme Court needs to have TERM limits. Congress is slow to implement change. Where are our leaders? Sometimes we live back in the dark ages. We are in the age of AI; need to modernize our justice system. Supreme Court has become political. Needs to be changes so justices aren’t stuck in political arena.
Jod....Supreme Court Justices aren't stuck politically, they are exactly where each of them choose to be!!!
How dumb are you? The Supreme Court laughed at Trump's election case from 2020, and Amy Coney Barrett declared that federal agents could remove the barbed wire.
J@@leotachaney7322
NATO to trump: "Pay your bills."
David Cay Johnson thank you a very informative interesting content and this interview.
I am from across the pond, but am hoping it is Supermax and not the White House.
I would just like to say, others have obviously been asleep at the wheel, allowing him to take these documents away in the first instance.
He was obviously hoping to profit from them, money is his god.
❤thanks to David Kay Johnson:Trump is going down ❤
David Cay Johnston should be much more familiar to Americans and should be a national reported on all the major networks ... so why do I not see him?
Put his name in at the top of the YT search bar and you'll find dozens of interviews with him going way back in time. He also has several books out and his own website. People spend their time watching idiotic sitcoms and sports shows instead of looking for information that's important.
@@signalfire6
I meant on network TV or in the "media".
If the court can delay the trial, then the American people can delay the election.
In order to stop Trump the American people have to vote for Joe Biden!
?
If only we could...
.
Those trials must b held before elections cos the American pple have a right to know what kind of psycho narcissist Trump is😮!More impt is that supreme court needs an education 🙈🙈R their eyes closed whn it come to that wack job Trump!!
AMAN!
Telling the Australian businessman our most closely guarded submarine secret is treacherous and treasonous
That has for to change! That's perverse to have a convicted criminal felon to be in our Oval Office !!!! That needs a constitutional amendment to keep convicted criminals OUT of our Oval Office and our government PERMANENTLY !!!
Why can’t something be done about trump?
Can’t he be arrested on the fact that he took money from Putin for his campaign?
Proof?
You need probable cause, don't you?
Ask Mitch McConnell.
Forget about trump and the presidency its time to remove scotus.
We needed a bad ass attorney general and we got one who is scared of his own shadow. That is a big mistake.
I heard all of this too. And I pray Somehow he goes to prison before the Election. If not we Democrats are working as hard we can to get the votes out there for November 5th . 😊
Don’t forget Garlands part in this
A big part due to lack of guts.
I've been greatly disappointed in Merrick Garland as Attorney General of the USA.
You think Trump’s not a flight risk , he has a private aeroplane, he’s a flight risk.
He said if he lost he’d move. Why is he still here?
Problem is nobody would want him now, because he might not be a billionaire after all.
His wife and youngest son have dual US/EU citizenship and each hold 2 passports. They can go to any EU country and be accepted no questions asked, no need to get visas. Barron Trump, who is now 18 and a legal adult, enjoys an unusually privileged global status because U.S. citizens born to 2 U.S. citizens on U.S. soil are very seldom granted dual citizenship with other nations. They have to earn that special privilege. Barron had the good luck to have a native-born Slovenian mother who made sure her son has an escape hatch when his daddy goes nuclear. No pun intended. They can go anytime. Donald would likely join them at some point, if he's still alive, when things get too hot for him here. He's a coward. Never wants to pay the band after making them play while he dances.
@@jabbermocky4520 He would run for the Slovenian dictatorship, with Princess Melania at his side.
@@lauradawson7676 If he gets prison in Georgia, he will have a difficult time moving!
Excellent guest!
It's a 50-50 race right now. Scary stuff both financially and for US citizen's safety.
It wouldn't be even close to 50/50 except for the fact that the Left has allied itself with some of the most extreme, the most decadent, obnoxious and bizarre people and that just may cause the downfall of America.
If you believe the polls. I don't put much stock in them. I'm confident that the voters will reject Trump despite any delays by the high court. Trump has said and done far too many traitorous things to be popular with anyone but his cult followers.
What a shame no one wants to get rid of the Electoral College.
Get rid of the Electoral College & restore democracy to the electoral process. Of course, they're never going to let it happen.
@@warrenallsopp obviously. But people keep forgetting that it’s the electoral college that decides.
@lisanidog8178
No one wants California deciding who wins.
@@TG-fr8gb the Electoral College includes California who decides whose president.
Thank you again David K❤
Amazing that we are where we are. Thanks!
Working on a cases of a Frauds,criminal sex abuser successfully,David i respect your journalism profession and you probably be getting the second AWARD.THANK YOU FOR BEING YOUR HONESTAND INTELLIGENT HUMANITY!
Excellent program. So why isn’t Jack Smith charging him with Treason?
Amongst his other outstanding qualities he comes across as a personable guy you would love to have around for dinner.
Please have this interview played on all major networks!
Almost 10 minutes in before David is allowed to speak 😂
I'm interested in what David thinks Trump's response will be if he loses in November. Great show thanks
Trump has said it’ll be a bloodbath - despicable!
"when"
He'll do the same thing he did before - claim it was rigged and call for his supporters to have a 'bloodbath'. Trouble is, this time he's not in the White House already and very few people are going to risk prison for him. His remaining supporters are couch-locked and aren't exactly going to start a Revolutionary War. He's hitting them all up for money to pay E Jean Carroll and NYC and his lawyers, so they're either broke or resentful of the begging. And he's getting more and more obviously insane. By November? Stark raving mad.
@@cindypomerleau950From your mouth to God's ear. I didn't think he'd win the first time.
I don’t believe he would have won the electoral college without Russian interference in 2016.
He did not win the popular vote.
Jail
I'd lean more towards a insane asylum!!!
I don't think Mr. Kotlikoff could have talked more slowly or with less energy. I had to keep adjusting the sound because he talked so low.
David Cay Johnston was very enlightening as always.
Agreed. It is quite frustrating. ( Let's just get to the point!)
Mr. Johnson is always good to listen to - he's got a fantastic memory of the facts in so many situations which he has covered.
And he talks down to us: most of us know what the Pulitzer is and what a muckraker is.
I thought Larry was delightful and I had no problem with hearing him, maybe your audio needs an adjustment.
Yes, David was witty and spry as per his usual self.
Democracy had four years to bring this criminal to justice democracy failed.
Fascinating discussion (note: Laurence your mic is much quieter than your feed from your guest.)
yes, very annoying.
I can hear him, and I’m not wearing my hearing aids.
Thank you Beau. I trust your foreign policy reporting and analysis the most.
Thank you for having David Cay Johnston. I really enjoy him. He is Great!
Mr Johnston should write a book that describes his investigation techniques.
Fascinating!
Super coverage
Thanks.
Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Great interview. Mr. Johnston has been my go-to guy for factual info of a financial nature, re: Trump, for many years. He is the GOAT in his field. Thanks.
Enjoy David Cay Johnson's comments no matter who interviews him.
Ilan Papé, a cherished source for analysis and understanding of the history of Palestine and how to move forward! I always love listening to him! Thank you for platforming him!
I wonder if Jack Smith is holding off on some of these disclosures till such a time that no one can forget them before Election Day?
Great interview! Thank you!
Hopefully prison!
What about the boxes loaded on a plane?
What about looking in Ivana's coffin?
@@frankiemorgan8056 I agree!
Great question.
What about all the seditionists they left in Congress? We're paying them while they're still actively trying to destroy our government. WTH !
Wasn't Ex-wife cremated too? Then there would be just packages there; which I agree with.
Love this man very smart
6m in, the video starts.
Thank you
Yes this is the modern GOP .
I remember reading David Cay Johnston calling out Trump as a fraud in the early 90's!!
Maga?? Try Mega, MegaDon. Making Evil Great Again.
DKJ finally comes on at 6:19.
Why would he tell trump supporters to turn this off?
Unbelievable
Great podcast. Thank you
David is our American Herio ❤
The part that amazes me is the so-called Republicans and independence will not vote for him if he’s convicted wasn’t watching the January 6 enough for them?
Term limits for the Supremes!
Ok your introduction is enough for me.
Thank you both!
It doesn't matter what you folks say - just compare the last 3 years under Biden to 4 years under Trump. Let the record speak for itself.
Yes! Biden’s infrastructure bill has roads, highways, bridges being repaired. New stop lights being installed. Airports are being upgraded. Railroad is getting new locomotives. Rr Track upgrades. Social Security and Medicare still not touched. Trump gave millionaires and billionaires outrageous tax cuts and increased our debt by I believe 7 trillion. I’ll vote blue.
Also Biden got over 16 million jobs created. Trump lost jobs
Yes because these people are so far left and have been after Trump since day he arrived in DC. Trump was the best President we ever had. Very boring and not interested in hearing this garbage.
Dont forget the Roy Cohn connection. The stalling tactics are pure Cohn
Pratt, the Aussie, admits he told 40-50 people.
I bet Trump is now blackmailing
Ginny and Clarence Thomas.
Why would he blackmail them? Ginny worships tRump as her personal saviour, and Clarence is bought and paid for.
I suspect every word of this is true....
Thank you❤
1st time viewer enjoyed the breakdown of the Trump Trials with you and David Clay Johnson.
🙏🏻 vote 💙 2024 American's to save America democracy and the 🌎
Wow, thank you!
Mr kotlikoff would be much more enjoyable to listen to if he added some enthusiasm to his voice. David Cay is a gem. I could listen to him all day.
This is a great interview to start with, glad I got to be on.
okay, I'm skipping past this eternal preamble....Laurence, get to the interview already.
Too much hot air in the introduction
Terrible interviewER
Hi, may consider changing your background! Thanks for interviewing this amazing journalist.
Check the casket of Ivana...moved to Bedminster Gplf Clubh, with no marker licating the spot. Also odd falling down the stairs in her home to her death. Was there an autopsy? Suspiciously in my mind.
Because of who @ what her X is also makes me wander about that particular incident!
Brilliant Podcast!!
Search Ivana Trump’s coffin.
Please!
