1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our continued

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,080
journey to five hundred thousand subscribers. I'd like to take

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,240
a moment, as I'm sure every single person who's turned

4
00:00:09,279 --> 00:00:13,000
on the television so far has seen the tragedy that

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,160
took place between the American Airlines plane that collided with

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,280
the military helicopter that crashed in the Potomac River in Washington, DC.

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,800
So I would like just to take a moment to

8
00:00:24,839 --> 00:00:27,960
think about the family and those that have now been

9
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:33,399
tragically lost in this senseless set just this senseless, senseless accident.

10
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:36,000
But I do also want to turn around and say

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,079
that while we're sitting here and we're trying to figure

12
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:43,560
this out, just remember the families and all of those

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,560
that were just lost. What a terrible, terrible tragedy to

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,399
go to sleep to last night, and certainly of course

15
00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:53,880
to wake up to where it appears that there are

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,159
no survivors. Well, yesterday Trump signed what's called the Lake

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,920
and Riley and I want to give you a summary

18
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,879
of this new law. Here's what it says. The measure

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,400
directs federal immigration enforcement to detain and deport those without

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,239
legal status charged with minor theft or shoplifting a sort

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,040
of a law enforcement officer, or crimes resulting in death

22
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,280
or serious bodily injury of another person. You know, in

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,760
case you don't remember, Laken Riley was the young girl

24
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:34,599
who was killed by a migrant. The only issue that

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,599
I have with this entire act posted up one more

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,920
time is the very very first line into it, when

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,280
you're talking about the deportation of individuals charged with minor

28
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,239
theft or shoplifting. Yeah, again, you can take that down.

29
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:53,519
I just find that when you put that into the

30
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,400
same law, the same act, when you're talking about death,

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,920
it just seems right, doesn't It just make it seem petty. Well,

32
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:06,879
while signing the law, Trump took the opportunity to give

33
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:10,520
a speech and potentially answer some questions, which is what

34
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:15,080
we the American citizens are looking for. Trump spoke about,

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,039
of course, the interaction that took place with Columbia, with

36
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,000
the President of Columbia over the weekend. Let me show

37
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:23,560
you that clip. Play it.

38
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:27,319
Speaker 2: He probably read about Columbia two days ago. They said, no,

39
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,479
we're not taking them, as say, we're going to take them.

40
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,800
You're gonna take them. You're gonna like it too. You're

41
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,000
gonna take them.

42
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Let me let me say this. We criticize Trump

43
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:48,199
on many things, but where he does things that are

44
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,199
so different, they're so out of the ordinary that you

45
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,599
have to turn around and look to see what was

46
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,599
the result. They turn around, they put these migrants onto

47
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,960
a plane. Columbia said, we're not allowing the plane to land.

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,919
We're not taking them. Trump then turned around and again

49
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:08,280
did something which was, let's just say, more than unusual,

50
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,560
and he said, no problem. We're going to hit you

51
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:13,400
with a twenty five percent tariff, and if you don't

52
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:17,319
accept them by next week, it's fifty percent, and after

53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,360
that it's one hundred percent, which basically would put Columbia

54
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,840
into an economic downfall. And so within less than a

55
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,280
half a day, maybe twelve hours, the president of Columbia folded.

56
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,280
He capitulated. And now what you're seeing is you're seeing

57
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:41,879
a new administration that's coming and feeling emboldened, feeling incredibly

58
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,120
powerful that they can actually continue to do this, to

59
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:50,759
threaten these tariffs, to threaten to economically destroy anybody that

60
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:54,199
doesn't agree with what Trump wants to do. Now that

61
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,759
may work with Columbia. Don't forget the entire trade is

62
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,879
like thirty two and a half billion dollars. It's far

63
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,039
from enormous. But I will tell you this wouldn't work.

64
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,199
If it was Italy. It wouldn't work. If it was France,

65
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,759
it won't work. If it's Russia. It's not going to work,

66
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,319
certainly for China. I'll tell you what else Trump did.

67
00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:18,480
He suggested that while we're trying to navigate the movement

68
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:25,079
of these migrants, he suggested setting up thirty thousand beds

69
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:31,680
in Guantanamo Bay and sending thirty thousand migrants off to

70
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:33,800
this island. Play the clip.

71
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,519
Speaker 2: Today, I'm also signing an executive order to instruct the

72
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:42,160
Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the

73
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,079
thirty thousand person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay. Most people

74
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,079
don't even know about it. We have thirty thousand beds

75
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,480
in Guantanamo to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening

76
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,600
the American people. Some of them are so bad we

77
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:00,439
don't even trust the countries to hold them because we

78
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,399
don't want them coming back, So we're gonna send them

79
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:04,800
out to Guantanamo. This will do.

80
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the part that I wanted to show you.

81
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,920
At the very beginning, and I had it posted twice.

82
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,480
We're talking about migrants for shoplifting, obviously very different than

83
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:20,839
the gang members that Trump's talking about, those few and

84
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:25,680
far between. This is where you have to sort of

85
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:31,680
draw a line. He then teased that foreign countries are

86
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,839
going to be forced to take back these migrants, and

87
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:39,920
you know what, they're gonna like it too. Play that clip.

88
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:42,639
Speaker 2: We may have tough talk from others, but it's not

89
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,000
gonna mean anything. They're gonna all take them back and

90
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,319
they're gonna like it too. They're gonna like it. They're

91
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:49,920
gonna take it back, and they're gonna like it today.

92
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm okay, mister president of filling whatever country you want.

93
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,279
You're taking these people back, and you know what, you're

94
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,839
gonna send me a letter on top of it. Trump then,

95
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:08,120
of course brought up California and the wildfires and how

96
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:13,720
he gave water to California. Play this clip.

97
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: The water has now begun flowing in California as we

98
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:21,959
continue to increase the flow in coming days. Nobody's seen

99
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,720
anything like that. And I've also taken strong action to

100
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,879
regain control of the Washington bureaucracy.

101
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,439
Speaker 1: Yeah no, one's ever seen this before, because let me

102
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,839
tell you what he posted. He posted these things again,

103
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:38,720
of course on truth social where if you read it,

104
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,720
it seems like he's taking credit for the rain that

105
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,160
finally hit La over the weekend. The water is flowing

106
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,160
big time in northern California. The long empty reservoirs will

107
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,519
soon be full. Thank you, President Trump. Don't take that

108
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,319
down yet. Don't take that down. First of all, we're

109
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,480
talking about the rain. Second of all, the reservoirs had

110
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:04,519
been full, and he's thanking himself. This is just when

111
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,600
I saw it pop up. I had to read it again.

112
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:10,720
I just wasn't sure I was seeing it correct. So

113
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:13,959
here's what else he posted. He turns around and he says,

114
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,279
the United States military just entered the great state of

115
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,519
California and under emergency powers turned on the water flowing

116
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,040
abundantly from the Pacific Northwest. And beyond the days of

117
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,040
putting a fake environmental argument over, the people are over

118
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,879
enjoy the water. California. Well, you know, there's a lot

119
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:38,600
of things that we tend to see. You can take

120
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:41,120
that down. There's a lot of things that we tend

121
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,160
to see. But when it comes to the news there's

122
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:53,000
nothing that's ever now, whether it's hurricanes, fires, tornadoes, assaults, shoplifting.

123
00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:57,120
Everybody's got a camera today attached to their mobile device.

124
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,959
Everybody's got a camera. How Come I didn't see any

125
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:04,480
thing about the US military invading the state of California.

126
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:08,040
And I'm just trying to figure out, is there somewhere

127
00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:12,959
in California, whether it's like a spicket or a handle

128
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,759
that you just have to flip that turned the water on.

129
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:19,120
I just, you know, look, there's a lot of things

130
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,600
I don't know. I didn't know that existed. I'm going

131
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:25,560
to continue to do my research on it because it's fascinating.

132
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:29,600
He then, of course, addressed the federal funding freeze and

133
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:33,039
the confusion that's surrounding it. Play the clip.

134
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: We did very well in twenty twenty, but we did

135
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,879
really well just recently. And I'm restating right now to

136
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,440
correct any confusion that the media has purposely and somehow,

137
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,559
for whatever reason, created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid have not

138
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,840
been affected by any action We're taken in any way,

139
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:55,840
shape or form. We are merely looking at parts of

140
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,759
the big bureaucracy where there has been tremendous waste and

141
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,879
fraud and abuse.

142
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: By the way, thank you for the clarification. That's all

143
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,720
that the people wanted, mister president. If you're watching this,

144
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:11,960
and I'm certain that you are, or at least your

145
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,039
people are, all that they wanted was just a response

146
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:19,960
because it was confusing. It was confusing not just to

147
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,600
as you'll say, the left wing media, it was confusing

148
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,519
to the right wing media as well. Why well, I

149
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,799
don't know, maybe it just wasn't written right, but you

150
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,039
spelling it out. That's that's what a lot of people

151
00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:35,039
wanted to know. Medicare, Medicaid, Is it going to be affected?

152
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,799
You say it's not. We take your word for it. Now.

153
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:42,120
I also want to talk about the confusion that surrounds

154
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,639
the alleged fifty million dollars that was supposed to be

155
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:50,879
spent on sending condoms to Gaza. Play that clip.

156
00:09:51,159 --> 00:09:56,039
Speaker 2: And that process. We identified and stopped fifty million dollars

157
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:02,440
being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Amas fifty image.

158
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,120
And you know what's happened to them. They've used them

159
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,320
as a method of making bombs. How about that?

160
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: No, no, again, Sometimes don't double down. And I know

161
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,399
this is like a Steve Miller type thing. Okay, you

162
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,799
can't make a bomb out of a condom unless it's

163
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,799
filled with fluid. I mean, let's be serious about this,

164
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:40,240
that they're floating condoms now that have what bombs in them? Sure? Sure,

165
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,879
I'm just curious to know where this information came from.

166
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:49,840
Enlighten all of us. And that's the whole point. Just

167
00:10:49,919 --> 00:10:53,399
because it's said, or it's just because someone like a

168
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,600
Steven Miller writes it, doesn't mean you should go along

169
00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:58,720
with it. You know, for a fact, if I was

170
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,759
there with you, that shit never would have come out,

171
00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:08,039
because it's absolutely that shit bullshit. And lastly, Trump was

172
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,120
asked about government funding while signing the Lake and Riley Act.

173
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,200
Play this clip.

174
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: Thank you, sure you take a quick question of going

175
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,200
the funding for paulus. I don't think this is appropriate time. Really,

176
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:25,120
I respect it, but I don't think it's appropriate. I

177
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,679
could just that your government is doing very well and

178
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,519
we're getting way back, but this is not the appropriate time.

179
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,159
Speaker 1: Bank by the way, He's right, wasn't the appropriate time. However,

180
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,240
what's been done regarding government funding in the last what

181
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:43,879
one week since he's taken in. Okay, let's not overexaggerate

182
00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:46,559
where we're at. Let's all hope that, yeah, the fraud,

183
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,360
the waste, the abuse of government comes to an end.

184
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,879
We all know it exists. How many times have you

185
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:54,600
read about the golden toilets of the ten thousand dollars

186
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,759
screw drivers? We all know it. In fact, I saw it.

187
00:11:57,919 --> 00:12:00,759
I saw it myself when I was in prison, where

188
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:04,519
we were destroying at the direction of the institution. We

189
00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:08,639
were destroying brand new equipment. This is true, so that

190
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,480
they could reorder new ones and then increase their budget. Look,

191
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,240
I'm not opposed to cutting the fraud, the waste of

192
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:19,000
the abuse. We all should we should all want that,

193
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:22,399
and let's hope. Let's hope that the team that he's

194
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,960
building is successful. And that's why I say there's a

195
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:32,679
lot of chaos that's going on, some created and some unfortunate.

196
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,120
