I did manage to find a transcript of another interview where Begala previously said the exact same thing about a week ago…

PAUL BEGALA, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR:
You know, Donald Trump needs to pay himself hush money, because every time he speaks, he's losing. He did better during that trial than I thought he would do because he was gagged and the gag order was perfectly constitutional. It happens in lots of cases.
He hurts himself when he goes on these hysterical rants. Yes, he helps himself with his base, but his base is not the majority of the country. And there will be some MAGA people who feel some pity. Look, I did - in a way I do. I mean, he's a obese, flatulent old man with bad makeup and weird hair who had to sit in a courtroom and listen to a porn star testify about how bad he is in bed. Now, if you can't feel sorry for that guy (INAUDIBLE) want to make my president.
The problem is he is exclusively focused on himself. And this is where I think the Biden campaign needs to take it. He's - Mr. Trump's in it for himself. I'm in it for you, right? Mr. Trump cares desperately about staying out of prison. That's his most important job right now is keep himself out of prison. But he seems to be fixated only on his own grievances, and grudges, and vengeance, and his business deals, and he's complaining about the last election and the last jury trial.
Biden has an opportunity here not to push on the criminality, but to push on what voters care about, right? Put up Mr. Trump on metaphorical trial for wanting to cut Medicare and Social Security so he can cut his own taxes, put him on trial for eliminating Roe versus Wade, put him on trial for things that affect my life and yours, not just his.
