Dapper Dan Midas' youtube reading of Mary Trump book, taken down by CBS Audio

(I happened upon this reading when trying to find interviews with Mary Trump on youtube, and it was such a fantastic reading, but it got taken down).

He gives this explanation in the beginning of his reading today of another book called "I Got A Monster, The Rise and Fall of America's Most Corrupt Police Squad".



Dapper Dan Midas, Secretary of Shade

I have been doing this youtube channel, these live readings for about 2 years now. I have read many a book. I've read Omarosa's book, I read Bob Woodward's book. We took a look at April Ryan's book at one time. I've looked at the Bolton book. I've looked at Stormy Daniel's book. I've read Rick James book. I've read a lot of books. I have never in my time reviewing and reading these books, ever, ever, gotten a cease and desist or my video blocked on youtube. It's never happened, ever in life. And I get it, to be clear. This is why I never read the entire book or only read a few chapters and that's it, because I understand, you know, intellectual properties and things like that. But it is noted and on record that I have helped sell books for people. That's just a fact.

So for those of you who don't know, my videos, my readings of the Mary Trump book have been blocked. I was also contacted by CBS audio about the book. Now it is my personal opinion. I think what it is, is that maybe they didn't like that I was reading the book or the manner in which I was reading it. But the reality is honey, your audiobook is boring. I never listened to the audiobook, but I listened to a sample just to see what the home cooking was up to and it was trash. And it's not quite the way I do it. You know, I understand how I do it isn't everyone's forte, which is fine. That's great. But I think it's interesting. I also think it's interesting that of all the books that I have read, the Trump book by the Trump family member is the one that gets like the yank. Right. Bob Woodward's book sold a ton of copies. Omarosa's book sold a ton of copies. I find it interesting that the book that gets the gagger is the relative book. Right.

So long story short, I get it. I'm not upset. I have gained quite a following on youtube Secretary of Shade with almost 20,000 subscribers. Hand clap for yourself. So, I've gotten a lot out of reading books. More than I can say for a lot of people. So I'm not upset or anything like that.

But I got another book. And this book was actually written by associates of mine.

(He then does a reading from the book "I Got A Monster&quot
