Summary

Michael Cohen and Jerry Falwell Jr. reflect on their long-standing personal bond and their shared history within Donald Trump’s political rise. They highlights how a business-oriented approach and a mutual desire to disrupt the political establishment unified diverse groups, specifically bridging the gap between a secular campaign and evangelical voters. Falwell emphasizes that Trump’s success with religious conservatives stemmed from his record of keeping promises, such as appointing conservative judges, rather than personal piety.
