On today’s episode of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast, we go through Rudy Giuliani’s interview with Sean Hannity where the former New York City Mayor and current member of President Donald Trump’s legal team said the President repaid his personal attorney for the $130,000 Michael Cohen paid to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair in 2006.

Listen:

The media will focus on this as being in contradiction with the president’s claim on Air Force One, but how did it come about? Listening to the audio, you realize Hannity and Rudy were talking about different things — Hannity about the Steele dossier and how it was paid for, and Rudy the Cohen case.

Will this matter? Did Rudy violate attorney-client privilege? And, exactly, would be illegal if Trump had repaid Cohen for the money? The answer is nothing, which is a point Rudy makes, too. It’s all explained in the show.

Plus, is the idea of a “fixer” really as nefarious as the media is trying to make it out to be? Not really. Billionaires have people on staff who manage their lives, even without being directed, because when there is literally nothing in the world you can’t afford, your worldview changes — billionaires are different. It may seem obvious, but that reality has been largely ignored by the media.

Kanye West is still in the news, and still being attacked by liberals for the sin of suggesting people think for themselves. Why is this so threatening to the left? And why are even race-based blogs attacking him? We explain.
