This episode of The Midas Touch podcast is brought to you by Whoop, the wearable health and fitness coach that gives you personalized insights into your sleep, recovery, strain, stress, and overall health. Listen, I've tried a bunch of wearables, and I found a lot of them to be so overwhelming. I don't need another screen constantly tapping me, pinging me, and sending me notifications. But that's what I love about Whoop. The Whoop 5.0 wearable is screenless, so it just sits quietly on my wrist collecting data. And whenever I want, I can open the companion app and get this incredibly detailed picture of what's happening with my body and actually use that information to make proactive decisions. And with a one year old, sleep has become a bit of a luxury. Whoop helps me pinpoint the things that are actually affecting me. Did that 4pm cup of coffee hurt my sleep? Did that run on the treadmill bring down my stress? How well am I actually recovering? Whoop gives me a full picture of my health without overloading me, and it's helped me build a healthier routine around what my body is actually telling me.

Welcome to the Midas Touch podcast exclusive with Michael Cohen reacting to the House Ways and Means Committee officially releasing six years of Trump's tax returns. We previously got the executive summaries, but now we have the raw data. Michael Cohen, welcome to the show. Bagel Ben, how you doing there, buddy? Bagel Ben is hanging in there. I want to read you this breaking news and I want you to react to it. Donald Trump has issued a typical deranged statement from his social media account. Donald Trump put out a statement. Let me read it to you because it's literally breaking right now as we go live. It says statement by Trump, the Democrats should have never done it. The Supreme Court should have never approved it and it's going to lead to horrible things for so many people. This guy is such a clown. The great USA divide will now grow far worse. I'm sorry I'm laughing at it, just such a clown. The radical left Democrats have weaponized everything. But remember that it is a dangerous two way street. The Trump tax returns once again show how proudly successful I have been and how I have been able to use depreciation and various other tax deductions as an incentive for creating thousands of jobs and magnificent structure and enterprise. I can't even read the rest going to me. It shows that he's an utter criminal. What's your response? Well, to me, it just shows how delusional that he is. First of all, the thousands of employees are we talking about the undocumented ones that he held up in cages or is he talking about the ones that he ended up stiffing? I'm not 100% certain. But putting all of that aside, at the end of the day, what does this tax returns really show you and me and the American people and so on. What it really shows is that he is not as wealthy as he wanted people to believe, as he claimed, as he purported to be. And more importantly, that something I had said, not just here on this show, but on television before the House Oversight Committee, even on my own YouTube, on TikTok, you name it, on all my social media, that Donald Trump manipulated the values of his assets to fit his purpose. He would increase them in order to increase the net worth in his personal financial statement. And then he would decrease them in order to obtain some form of a tax benefit. And that you're going to see here, but you're also going to see on top of that, who loaned him money, how much money he actually owed, who holds the debt, whether or not those institutions received any benefit during the four years of his presidency. But the one thing that I am certain that they will ultimately have to figure out

is how and why Donald took the $130,000 payment that he had made back to me, which was $260, because he grossed it up. And for those of you that don't understand the concept, because I've been the 50% tax bracket for me to get my $130 back from Donald, he'd have to give me $260,000. So interestingly enough, he took that $260,000, which was the payoff to the porn star for pulling his mushroom pecker. And he took it as a deduction, as a business expense,
