Speaker 1: So after a week of travel in very little sleep,
Trump returned to the White House late last night, literally
on the verge of the tantrum. All of our Western
allies have absolutely rejected his offer to join the Board
of Peace. He was told to fuck off by Danish
members of parliament, and it was clear that the EU
would not let Trump take Greenland easily. So by all accounts,
Trump well. His mission in Davos didn't go too well,
and so when things don't go well, what do they do.
They tried to rewrite the narrative, and he tried to
do so with a truth social post just this morning.
Let me show you what he wrote. What a great
trip to Davos. It was so many things accomplished, including
the framework of a deal with NATO on Greenland, also
the Board of Peace. Wow, make America great again. President DJT.
Welcome back to The Michael Cohne Show on our continued
journey to one million subscribers. And yes we've had a setback,
but the momentum is now back in our favor. So
let's get there, hit subscribe, watch, comment, and share because
this stupidity it's got to stop now. On a programming note,
I also want to reiterate that while Maya Kulpa and
Political Beatdown are no longer found on the Midas Touch Network,
those shows they're not going anywhere. In fact, I'm doing
very well in terms of finding a new co host
for a Political Beatdown. I'll let you know about that
very soon. And as far as Mayaculpa is concerned, it's
still available everywhere that you listen to your podcasts, So
this show will continue as well. Right here, The Michael
Cohen Show on YouTube channel now on air for US one.
On his way back to DC, Trump spoke with reporters
about his new Board of Peace, and one reporter asked
if he envisions being chairman of the board after his
second term in office expires. Play the clip together the
brook even being chairman of the Board of piece past
your second term in.
Speaker 2: Off this, I have the right to be if I want.
I'm in out the side. We'll see what happens. But
they'd like me to being it's a theory for life,
but I'm not sure I want that.
Speaker 3: But but it's going to do great work with Gaza
and maybe other things. You know, it could be beyond
Gaza and we'll work in terms of the United with
the United Nations, who I've always said, the United Nations
says great potential, great potential, but they have not lived
up to and I say eight moors and I never
struck for them.
Speaker 1: Let me be let me be clear about something. There
actually is no let's just call it operating manual for
this Board of Peace. So when they ask him, do
you intend on staying? Sure, he's allowed to. That's the
way it's designed. Well, I'd like to see I like
to see the rule book. You know, in the United
Nations they actually have guidelines. I'd be very, very curious.
And I'm more disappointed that there was no follow up
as to where can we go to review this Board
of Peace? It's mission statement, who the new members are.
Is there going to be an update on some website
so that we can see what the rules and principles are?
Is there a mantra? Another reporter went and asked where
the one billion dollars that each member contributes is going
to go? Play that clip?
Speaker 2: Tell us Sam back to the Court of Pace.
Speaker 4: Some of the countries are I think the permanive members
contributed a billion dollars.
Speaker 2: What is that money supposed to make regarded these.
Speaker 4: Are already put up a million. Some of the countries
have already put up much more than that. That money
more and that's a lot of money, but it's nothing
compared to the value of peace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be crystal clear about something here. I'm
not sure what this buy in is supposed to. I mean,
this isn't a poker game right up at Trump Tower
like in the movie Rounders. What's the buy in for?
What is the money going to be used for? Where
is the money sitting in what account in what country?
And we don't know. It's just yes, it's a buy
in for a billion dollars. Congrats you think that that's
going to help to rebuild Gaza. Gaza is trillions trillions
to rebuild the damage. The entire infrastructure of the country
needs to be replaced. It's one hundred and seventy square miles.
And he says it's not really for just Palestine, it's
not just for Gaza, it's for anything anything, which again
is why I say, why didn't anybody turn around and say,
is there a place that we can check out a
website so we can see what this boarder piece is
even about. Now. Trump was also asked about rumors that
Putin wants to use frozen Russian assets to pay for
his entry, his buying to the board. Play that clip.
Speaker 4: President has said that you may use frozen Russian assets
to pay for his entry to the Board of Peace.
Speaker 5: Are even flying to let him do that?
Speaker 4: I don't know about that. I mean, i've heard that.
Who said that? Very interesting? But he said he's going
to use his money. He's using his money. I think
that's fine. Yeah, if you're talking about where he said
this morning. Yeah, he's going to join the Board of Bason.
He's going to make a contribution of a billion dollars by.
Speaker 2: Using his money. I mean, if he's using his money,
that's great. I think it's important to have everybody And
are you concerned about that?
Speaker 1: Again, the question was about the frozen assets, frozen assets
that are here in the United States and Spain or
anywhere else around the world. Now, I'll tell you one
thing that we know. We know that our Western allies
do not want to be a part of this board.
They do not. But Trump literally also try to publicly
rescind his offer to Canada's Prime Minister Mark Karney. In it,
he turns around and he writes, Dear Prime Minister Carney,
please let this let us serve to represent that the
Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding
Canada's joining what will be the most prestigious board of
leaders ever assembled at any time. Thank you for your
attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. Now let
me also go on to say Mark Carney made a
statement in front of the entire Davos community, to which
he received roaring applause. It was very negative towards the President,
and so as a result, he lost his right to
sit on this Board of Peace. Now, Carney, he doesn't
seem to care. He really doesn't. He once again publicly
announced his independence from the United States States. Play the clip.
Speaker 5: When we live our values, we grow as individuals and
we build as a people when we're kind. Kindness grows
when we're united. Unity grows when we're Canadian, inclusive, fair, ambitious,
Canada grows Canada. Canada and the United States have built
a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and enrich
cultural exchange. The Canada doesn't live because of the United States.
Canada thrives because we are Canadian news.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's why I said they took away
his right to be part of this board. But on
Air Force one, well, Trump, let's just say, had a giff,
kind of a significant one, but a slip up, and
said that peace is destructive. Play the clip piece is.
Speaker 4: So destructive for everybody, even gunchies that are in found.
I mean, it's so destructive for everybody. What do you
have course.
Speaker 2: Tell us how your fan picket served.
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, it's just a gaff. You know, the guy's tired.
He's trying to, I don't know, make some statement that
you know, none of us agree on. Right, this entire
board of Peace doesn't make any sense, and so he's
trying to rationalize it, and his mind is going in
ten thousand ways. He was obviously talking about war is destructive,
but this is an opportunity within which two I don't know.
Do youab him again now? Trump also used his famous
two week logic two weeks, two weeks right, like in
the movie with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long. He tried
to use that logic multiple times. First, when a reporter
asked for clarity on the concept of taking Greenland, Trump
actually said, just give me two weeks. Give me two weeks.
Play the clip, Doctor.
Speaker 2: Greenley, can you elaborate warats.
Speaker 4: We're trying to understand what exactly the concept is here
is the US going to actually take all We'll have
something in two weeks. There's a good spirit to get
something done, and we have to have.
Speaker 2: A strong freedom. We have to have the ability to
do exactly what.
Speaker 4: We want to do.
Speaker 2: We have a great military. I built a great military.
Speaker 4: I did this on my first time at Continuation, Big Continuation.
Speaker 2: I think what we did.
Speaker 4: With the defense companies was very important because we need
things faster. We have the best weapons in the world
by far. We showed that last week with that as well.
And we have the best weapons in the world, we
have to make them faster.
Speaker 2: I would be any different than the current situation.
Speaker 4: The US can much more detail, much more generous to
the United States.
Speaker 1: So much more. Okay, two weeks. That would bring us
to let's say February sixth. In fact, what I just
did is I took some notes, I put it into
my calendar, and on February six we're going to see
what is the concept of taking Greenland, and this is
what we have to do. We have to hold when
they say, two weeks, let's just write it down and
let's go right back to it. The problem is that
this fire hose of chaos that comes of us every
single day, it doesn't give us the opportunity within which
to remember what the hell happened yesterday, let alone two
weeks ago, now, mind you. When asked if Denmark is
on board, Trump once again asked, yep, two more weeks
play the clip?
Speaker 2: Is Denmark sign off on the stay? Are they on
board with this concept?
Speaker 1: Is Denmark on board with this concept to.
Speaker 2: Be everywhere like span?
Speaker 3: I think I'll let you know it about two weeks
Denmark about this plan.
Speaker 2: Secretary General Mark is a great guy. He's a great guy,
and he's looking.
Speaker 5: Everybody like book with the NATO Secretary General, did you
talk about the US military private land?
Speaker 2: Yesterday? He was interviewed on Red Bear and he was
very happy. He was very convinced. This is a good
deal for everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for everybody. And on Air Force one, Trump also
posted a rant about tariffs. Let me show you what
he wrote in it. He writes, the people who brought
the tariff litigation against our country now in the United
States Supreme Court are strongly China oriented and very upset
by the fact that the United States is doing so well,
giant growth and investment, almost no inflation. These people, in
some cases Americans should be ashamed of themselves. Make America
great again? Sure, sure, using the courts within which to
justify a purpose, it's wrong. They shouldn't be doing it.
Clearly not. And when a reporter asked for Trump's response
to his tariff threats earlier this week, literally what they
did is they tanked the stock market. Trump, well, he
just tried to deny and to deflect. Play the clip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd be.
Speaker 5: Worried about the market reaction to your tariffs on Monday
and Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Market reaction has been good.
Speaker 4: It was that very big today, was that big yesterday.
So it's where it started, very close to fifty thousand
for the Dow. And nobody thought you could be breaking
fifty thousand during the first year. So we'll see what happens. No,
pretty much, even right just about even market came.
Speaker 1: Up only after you backed away from here a fence.
Speaker 2: As of yesterday, the market came up very nicely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not wrong about that. Right now, the market
is slightly over the Dow forty nine thousand, and if
it hits fifty thousand, yes it will be another record.
But the reporter wasn't wrong. Market was going down. In fact,
it was dropping like a rock until he called off
the threats and then yep, businesses were able to reevaluate
and the market shut up. Maybe he should take a
lesson from that.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I want to end on one more clip, one more
clip showing Trump's delusion as he claims that thousands, thousands
of businesses are right now currently being built in the
United States. Truth be told, that would be great, It
would be great. Who wouldn't want to see that? I
would love to see the proof. Where is it? Play
the clip?
Speaker 2: Think of it. Eighteen trillion dollars.
Speaker 4: We have thousands of businesses big built right now and
they're gonna be opening soon and it's gonna be amazing. Also,
the great big, beautiful bill kicks in now, you know
now and over the next several months, that's gonna have
a ugip fact when you have no jacks or jips,
social Security, no taxon overtime, that's gonna have a huge effect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's happening right now and you're going to see it.
Not really right now, but a couple of months, right
or the businesses that are being now built with the
eighteen trillion dollars that nobody kind of knows where it is.
Two more weeks. This is the problem. Every one of
these comments has an expiration date to it. Problem is
that we just don't remember all of the nonsense that
they're spewing because nobody actually writes it down because of
so much, so much coming at us each and every day. Well,
not here, I'm writing it down, and I'm going to
keep reminding each and every one of you about the
two weeks or even the month or two, and we'll
hold we'll hold these promises to account. And as always,
thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all, thanks watching.
I mean, we're gonna be posting daily episodes with reactions
and talking about politics. We'll be talking about everything in fact,
