If the GOP was a person, it would have the honesty of George Santos, the brains of Lauren Boebert, the compassion of Marjorie Traitor Greene, the morals of Matt Gaetz, the integrity of Lindsey Graham, the spine of Kevin McCarthy and the personality of tRump.

[albynmouse]

Badab badab badab! I thought this lawyer was going to have a freaking heat attack 😳! Good job Ari 👏

[elwoodpdowd-bpmt]

It was a mistake to introduce this guy to Don Junior's coke dealer just before going on TV

[happygilmore]

Props to Ari on staying fair in the interview. Actually made this listenable.

[TheBoss-roiu]

The Art of Making Attorneys Get Attorneys is in full effect. Get your popcorns ready, enjoy the show.

[ianreed]

The last time an attorney defended Trump on these hush money payments ended up in prison, just ask Michael Cohen. Tacopina better get an attorney!😅

[christianwagner]

This was a heated discussion, but it stayed refreshingly civil. Really enjoyed it, hats off to both men.

[nearn]

Making Attorneys Get Attorneys — Tacopina soon.

[samlanganke]

Martin Scorsese would hire this guy for the role of a mob lawyer immidiatly.

[maryyoung]

Ari you were brilliant. And through it all so respectful. You sure did your homework.

[theresamorris]

Holy cow! This was a fiery interview. Joe puts off those sleazy lawyer vibes. Ari didn't let up either.

[louisemccoy]

Beautiful, artful, intelligent and very well informed interview. Wish there were more of them. KUDOS, Ari !!

[yeahright]

This was a very respectful conversation of which mainstream media need more. Bravo to these two men for driving the high road

[DRKrust]

This guy is what one would expect a Mafia lawyer to look, act and speak like. He fits in with America's #1 criminal family.

[oracleofdelphi]

I swear, Trump must shop at the Ambulance Chaser Emporium of Iowa for his lawyers.

[DreadPirateRobrt]

"That's not a lie." Really dude? Then later he said, "Is it the truth, no it's not the truth." Wow! He must have gotten his law degree from Trump University.

[sonnetbonelli]

Since Ari is also a lawyer he knows how to pose questions and parry with another lawyer

[michaeldiogenesbest]

The adage is:
"Laws are made to be broken."
Sadly, here in America, most individuals become an Attorney NOT TO SEEK JUSTICE but, to figure out how get away with CRIMINAL

[carleenmulloy]

How much more does America have to endure 🙏🇺🇸

[susanficenec]

Ari, you have my deepest respect and gratitude. Thank you
