## Resource

Michael Cohen joins Michael Smerconish for a candid conversation about political tribalism, ideological purity tests, and what happens when independent thinkers refuse to stay in line. Cohen discusses his split with former allies on the left, why he says he was "canceled" for challenging anti-Trump narratives, and his reaction to ongoing questions about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. He also reveals that, despite years of conflict, he still seeks closure with the former president. A wide-ranging discussion about loyalty, truth, and the growing pressure to choose sides in American politics. Original air date 1 June 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
