1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,879 Speaker 1: Oh boy, Marjorie Taylor Green, she is burning the house 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,839 down on her way out, and she is not doing 3 00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:12,039 it quietly. She is truly going scorched earth on Trump, 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,120 on Maga, on Maga, Mike Johnson, on the entire GOP 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,640 Republican leadership that she now calls cowardly, compromised and controlled. 6 00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:29,679 She's even going so far as posting images of chain snapping, 7 00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:33,719 calling it freedom from a bully. And she's saying out 8 00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:38,479 loud what people inside Trump's orbit are never, ever, ever 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,600 supposed to say, that Trump threatened her behind closed doors. 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,920 Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our continued 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,799 journey to a million subscribers, Let's get there with your help. 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,119 I we will, and let me say this, Subscribe, watch, comment, 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,799 and share, especially as the new year comes to an end, 14 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,520 because in twenty twenty six, the same stupidity and insanity 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,560 it's gonna be at our door step. So let's get 16 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,879 into this new reporting from the New York Times, because 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:14,439 it absolutely confirms exactly how Trump operates when someone refuses 18 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,840 to protect him. Now, according to the New York Times, 19 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,760 when Green would not help bury the Epstein files, Trump, 20 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,439 he didn't persuade her. He screamed at her so loudly 21 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:30,359 that stapfers could hear it through the walls, and his 22 00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:36,599 message was unmistakable, don't do this, my friends will get hurt. Now, 23 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,400 let me be clear, Marjorie Taylor Green, she voted with 24 00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:45,280 Trump nearly I'm gonna say this, nearly one hundred percent 25 00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:51,000 of the time. Marjorie Taylor Green enabled him. She defended him, 26 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,719 He amplified his continuous lying. My friends, this is not redemption. 27 00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:00,719 He did not or does not become a hero simply 28 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,400 because she's standing up for the victims. He did the 29 00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:11,400 absolute bare minimum. She refused to participate in a cover 30 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,960 up of a child sex trafficking ring, of the raping 31 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,599 of children, and for that, Trump did what he always does. 32 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,639 He insults her, He calls her low iq, he brands 33 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,080 her as a trader, and he tries and successfully to 34 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,840 exile her. So let's walk through this, starting with the 35 00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:37,879 news article from the New York Times. I was just 36 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,919 so naive inside Marjorie Taylor Green's break with Trump. How 37 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,520 the Georgia congresswoman went from the president's loudest cheerleader to 38 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,639 his loudest Republican critic. Eleven days after Charlie Kirk was 39 00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:57,479 killed in September, Marjorie Taylor Green, the third term Georgia congresswoman, 40 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,879 was watching his memorial service on tea as the luminaries 41 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,000 of the conservative movement and the Trump administration gathered to 42 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,280 pay tribute to the young activist. What stayed with Green 43 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,919 long afterward were the last two speakers who took the stage. First, 44 00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:18,719 there was Kirk's widow, Erica, who stood in white before 45 00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:23,400 the crowd filling the Arizona Stadium, lifted her tear filled 46 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:27,400 eyes and said that she forgave her husband's killer. And 47 00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:32,240 then there was President Trump quote he was a missionary 48 00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:35,439 with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose. He 49 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,039 said of Kirk, he did not hate his opponents. He 50 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:43,120 wanted the best for them. That's where I disagreed with Charlie. 51 00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:46,120 I hate my opponent and I don't want the best 52 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:50,000 for them. That was absolutely the worst statement. Green wrote 53 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,599 to me in a text message months after the memorial service, 54 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,039 and the contrast between Erica Kirk and the President was clarifying. 55 00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:02,400 She added, shows where his heart is and that's the 56 00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:06,960 difference with her having a sincere Christian faith and proves 57 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,479 that he does not have any faith. It Also, Green 58 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,560 said clarified something about herself. Over the past five years, 59 00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:19,439 as Trump's most notorious acolyte in Congress, she has adopted 60 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,199 his unrepentant pugilism as her own. Our side has been 61 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,279 trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never 62 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:29,680 admit when you're wrong, She told me in her Capitol 63 00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:33,759 Hill office one afternoon in early December. You just keep 64 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,399 pummeling your enemies no matter what, and as a Christian, 65 00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:40,839 I don't believe in doing that. I agree with Erika Kirk, 66 00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:45,680 who did the hardest thing possible and said it out loud. Now, look, 67 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,600 this is where Green really goes nuclear, she says. After 68 00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:53,480 the hearing, Green held a news conference at which she 69 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,759 threatened to identify some of the men who had abused 70 00:04:56,759 --> 00:05:00,639 the women. Green says that she didn't know those names herself, 71 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,199 but that she could have gotten them from the victims. 72 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:07,399 Trump called Green to voice his displeasure. Green was in 73 00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:10,399 her Capitol Hill office, and, according to a staff member, 74 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,279 everyone in Rome could hear him yelling at her as 75 00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:17,160 she listened to him on speakerphone. Green says she expressed 76 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,000 her perplexity over his entransience. According to Green, Trump replied, 77 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,240 my friends will get hurt. When she urged Trump to 78 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,519 invite some of Epstein's female victims to the Oval office, 79 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,120 she says he angrily informed her that they had done 80 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,519 nothing to merit the honor. It would be the last 81 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,879 conversation Green and Trump would ever have, it, goes on 82 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,439 to say, rather than back down, Green did something she 83 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,680 had never done before as a congresswoman. She teamed up 84 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,319 with a Democrat Representative Rocanna of California, as well as 85 00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:56,879 the Republican Maverick Thomas Massey on a legislative maneuver that 86 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,120 would compel the Justice Department to release all documents pertaining 87 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,399 to Epstein. To say that Conna, a progressive Democrat who 88 00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:08,759 had joined his colleagues four years early in voting to 89 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,199 strip Green of her committee assignments, did not regard Green 90 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:17,120 as a natural ally, was an understatement. Let me be 91 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:20,199 crystal clear about something. As I said before, all right, 92 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,600 Marjorie Taylor Green is not the hero in this story. 93 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,079 The fact that she's doing something which everybody should should 94 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,040 be doing does not make her into I don't know, 95 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,240 you know, into a righteous person. I do have to 96 00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:40,399 say that I am pleasantly surprised with everything that she 97 00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:44,759 is doing. In fact, to give credit where credit is due, 98 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,600 But for people like Marjorie Taylor Green and I can't 99 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,639 believe I'm saying this, this matter would not be where 100 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,600 we are right now, and that is whereby Congress has 101 00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:02,680 passed and so has the President the Epstein Transparency Act. Well, 102 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,079 they're in violation of it, nonetheless, but at the same 103 00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:10,120 point in time they are required to release every single 104 00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:14,079 document to Congress and to the public. Let me also 105 00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:20,040 say that despite these extremely bold and let's just say 106 00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:25,639 unexpected comments from Marjorie, she didn't stop there. Uh huh. 107 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,040 She literally posted a photo chain breaking free yesterday. In it, 108 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,800 it turns around and it says, breaking the chains from 109 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,399 the bully is freeing. It's also taking hold of real 110 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,439 power over oneself and the future. This is a big 111 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,120 and a bold move, especially as somebody who knows this 112 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:52,120 from first hand experience his microphone, his megaphone is enormous. 113 00:07:52,399 --> 00:07:56,399 And the amount of backlash that she's receiving, and I 114 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,360 know because I received much of it, if not even more, 115 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,879 because mind is for a much longer period of time. 116 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,279 It's it's unnerving to say the least. Trump has not 117 00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:13,360 been silent either about Marjorie Taylor Green's departure from MAGA, 118 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,240 from the GOP, from the Republican Party, which brings us 119 00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:21,800 to this, Trump calling Marjorie Taylor Green both a trader 120 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:25,560 and low IQ play the clip. 121 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: Before I answer that. Let me just tell you something. 122 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:34,759 I've watched stupid people like Marjorie Trader Green or some 123 00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,879 people call her Taylor Green, some people call her Taylor 124 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:42,960 Brown because Green sometimes turns to brown, which isn't nice. 125 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,320 But I've watched her say that he spends too much 126 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,720 time on foreign well by doing that, and first of all, 127 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:52,000 it doesn't take a lot of time. 128 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be crystal clear. What she's saying is 129 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,480 something that many Republicans are also saying. Next, in fact, 130 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:02,200 all Democrats are saying, which is that he spends all 131 00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:06,440 his time right now concentrating on trying to obtain the 132 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,320 Nobel Peace Price, despite the fact that there's more problems 133 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,840 here in America, from tariffs to the ACA, to the 134 00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:17,120 Affordable Care Act and so much more to big pharma 135 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,320 that needs to be taken care of. And that's really 136 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,840 what the president is supposed to do right, He's supposed 137 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,360 to be the leader of the American people. Now while 138 00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:32,159 he's attacking Marjorie, Marjorie Taylor Green, Marjorie Taylor Brown, or 139 00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:36,159 whatever other cute comments he wants to make. Marjorie doesn't 140 00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:40,279 sit back. Uh huh, she responds, play the clip. 141 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: Addition to that, you do seem to have a real 142 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:53,440 problem with transparency, and there's a huge loss of trust 143 00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:58,480 over these Epstein files and over other things as well. 144 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're right. 145 00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:03,159 Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. I track the calls coming into 146 00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,799 my office. Yeah, track them all. We try all the emails, 147 00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:09,000 We track all of it. This week, it was really interesting. 148 00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:12,960 Sixty percent of my calls were about health insurance premiums 149 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,600 costing too much. The other forty percent Epstein files. Right, right, 150 00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:19,360 So it's not going away. 151 00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:22,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not going away. Let me finish by saying 152 00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:26,559 this that this is not political disagreement. We all agree 153 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,080 that the Epstein files must be released in its entirety. 154 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,480 Screw those that are named in it. They deserve to 155 00:10:33,519 --> 00:10:37,320 be outed. This, my friends, is how a mob boss behaves, 156 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:41,960 and the reason that I break it down slowly, carefully, 157 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,840 clip by clip, article by article, it's because Trump's power 158 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,679 has always depended on people's silence. Those of us who 159 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,240 speak out, myself and now Marjorie Taylor Green, well, we 160 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,360 get hurt in the course of it because once people 161 00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:03,639 stop protecting him, once they start telling the truth, once 162 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,879 they start behaving properly, the whole deal, well just collapses. 163 00:11:10,039 --> 00:11:13,360 And that's what we need to do, collapse it. And 164 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,519 as always thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all, 165 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,600 thanks for watching.
