15:58Now PlayingBarack Obama sat down with Stephen Colbert this week and said something that every American needs to hear right now. There are two things a democracy cannot survive — a politicized criminal justice system and a politicized military. And when the host of a late night show can get a former president to say that plainly and clearly, you have to ask yourself why nobody in Washington is saying it louder. In this episode of The Michael Cohen Show, we break down every moment of the interview — from Obama's concern for the Republican Party and his call for a healthy loyal opposition, to his blunt take on presidential side hustles and foreign entities buying influence, to his surprisingly honest answer about aliens. Plus, the liberals versus leftists debate inside the Democratic Party and why Obama's "no gobbledygook" rule might be the most important political advice anyone has given in years. And yes — Colbert asked for an endorsement for president. Obama's answer was perfect. Don't forget to hit subscribe, like, comment, and share as we continue our journey to a million subscribers!
