Speaker 1: And welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show. On our
continued journey to half a million subscribers. It's taking a
lot longer than I was hoping. Hit subscribe, watch comment,
and please share with family and friends, because the insanity
it's not stopping now. Look, Trump started off his Tuesday
morning on an ironic foot. We know that Trump has
been found guilty in the past of criminal tax fraud
in New York City, the Alvin Bragg case. Well, this
morning he took a shot at one of his least
favorite Democrats, Adam Shifty Shift, who was just in another attempt,
my opinion, distracting from this entire Epstein drama. Now I
want to show you what Trump turned around and said.
In it, he writes, I have always suspected shifty Adam
Schiff was a scam artist, and now I learned that
Fannie May's Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff
has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible mortgage fraud.
Adam said that his primary residence was in Maryland to
get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America when he
must live in California because he was a congressman from California.
I always knew Adam Schiff was a crook. The fraud
began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February
sixth of two thousand and nine and continue through multiple
transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a
second home on October thirteenth of twenty twenty. Mortgage fraud
is very serious and crooked. Adam Schiff, now a senator,
needs to be brought to justice. Well if true. Not
going to disagree with that. Trump then goes and he
spoke at the White House Faith Luncheon yesterday, where he
also mentioned his criminal history. Play the clip he.
Speaker 2: Did, I think I got indicted five times in peach
two times or bullshit? Right? Oh, terrible stuff.
Speaker 1: Do I have to remind you we're at of faith luncheon.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Trump always tries to twist history, and earlier in
the day he spoke with the NATO Secretary General claiming
that he knew Pete Hegseth was pausing the weapons to Ukraine.
Play the clips the.
Speaker 2: Fact they're coming over, they'd like to talk to us.
Speaker 4: Is there any concern about the US stockpiles? There was
a pause in delivery of weaponry to Ukraine in order
to evaluate apparently the US stockpiles.
Speaker 1: What came out of that evaluation.
Speaker 2: I mean, this was a very big What we're talking
about today is a very very big day. And what
Pete was doing, and me too, I knew what Pete
was doing was evaluation because we knew this was going
to happen. And now we actually announced that they voted
on it. It's all been done. So obviously that has
a big impact on when you say pause. Obviously you're
not going to be doing things if you don't know
what's going to happen here. But we were pretty sure
that this was going to happen, so we did a
little bit of a pause. But this is a very
big this is a very big event today, this is
something better.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it is a big event, But why not
just come clean and say after the pause? I had
Pete Hegseth provide me a detailed analysis to which I reviewed, examined,
and here are my findings. Because we all know it's
not true. We all know that he didn't know. And
if you don't believe me, let me show you a
clip of Trump last week saying that he didn't know
about the pause play the clips to Ukraine.
Speaker 2: As you said last night, last week, the Pentagon paused
some shipments of weapons to Ukraine. Did you approve of
that pass? We wanted to put defensive weapons because Putin
he's not treating human beings right, He's killing too many people.
So we're sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine and I've
approved then.
Speaker 1: So who ordered the pause last week?
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
Speaker 4: And you tell me you think that's a question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't know. Meanwhile, Trump's major announcement yesterday was
that he gave Putin an ultimatum. That's good. It's good
to give Putin an ultimatum. It doesn't just affect Putin,
it affixed anybody that actually is working alongside and doing
business with Russia to either make a deal in fifty
days or there will be new tariffs. Play the clip together.
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons that you're here today is
to hear that we are very unhappy I am with Russia,
but we'll discuss that maybe a different day. But we're
very very unhappy with him, and we're going to be
doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal
in fifty days. Tariffsaid about one hundred percent. You call
them secondary tariffs. You know what that means. But today
we're going to talk about something else. And as you know,
we've spent three hundred and fifty million dollars approximately on
this war with Russia and Ukraine and would like to
see it end. It wasn't my war. It was Biden's war.
It's not my war. I'm trying to get you out
of it, and we want to.
Speaker 1: See it end.
Speaker 2: And I'm disappointed in President Putin because I thought we
would have had a deal two months ago, but it
doesn't seem to get there. So based on that, we're
going to be doing secondary tariffs if we don't have
a deal on fifty days. It's very simple, and they'll
be at one hundred percent. And that's the way it is.
That can be more simple, but it's just the way
it is. I hope we don't have to do it.
Speaker 1: See, I'm not really sure. I understand two aspects of that.
First and foremost, why fifty days? Why not turn around
and say you're concerned about the death toll, which I
am as well, and I applaud him for worrying about
the death toll. That's happening in Ukraine right now, Well,
why not just turn around immediate immediate cessation of these
attacks on innocent civilians and their and their properties. Porter
goes on and asks Trump what he would do if
Putin escalated the war, same question I'm asking, play the
clip further. How far are you willing to go in response?
In what? In what? How far are you willing to
go if Putin were to escalate? Send more bombs in
the coming days.
Speaker 2: And ask me a question like that, how far I
want to get the war settled? They're not Americans that
are dying in it, and you know, I have a problem,
and JD has a problem. It's a stance that he's
had for a long time. They're not Americans dying, but
there are a lot of people dying and on something
that should be able to be settled. And we all
agree with that, this group of people that you know,
we want to defend our country. But you know, ultimately
having a strong Europe is a very good thing. It's
a very good thing. So I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know why he was taking offense
to the question. It's actually a very good question. If
you think about it because Putin will escalate the war. Well,
all he needed to do is turn around and say,
if he escalates the war, if one more missile, one
more drone, if one more attack on Ukraine takes place,
and one more death, immediately the tariffs go into place again,
not just on Russia, because we don't do any trading
with Russia. Russia doesn't produce shit other than what oil. Right,
what was the lafetime You looked at your T shirt
and it said, oh, made in Russia. It's not where
it's made. So do we really care about tariffs regarding
commerce and trade? The answer is no, But we do
care about China, and China is in part supplying them
with these weapons and so therefore China now would be
stuck with a one hundred tariff on their goods. That's
just a simple explanation, and it makes him look strong.
So why they're telling him, well, why he's not going
along with that narrative? Again, I can't figure it out. Meanwhile,
Trump also had to correct himself when he said that
Russia's military advancements were positive play the clip.
Speaker 2: But they don't have their losing on equipment and Russia's
really taken a very positive, very very.
Speaker 3: Strong.
Speaker 2: I mean, what they've done the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: With our military reasons, that's what they're doing is savahlo
drones today, missiles, bombing cities. This is not because of
military goals. It is just creating.
Speaker 2: Panic, hitting people of their sleeves, hating towns. It's really terrible,
and it's just meaning a lot of people whose their lives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. But meanwhile, yes, yesterday at the faith luncheon,
Trump just started rambling about his talks with Putin. Not
really sure that this is the right place. I've been
to these with Trump. I remember going with him to
the Faith and Freedom Caucus with Ralph Reid. But here he,
I don't know, didn't really treat it more like a
faith luncheon as much as he did more like a
comedy cafe. But he started rambling about his talks with Putin,
and he seemed to think again that this wasn't a
faith luncheon but a comedy show. Played the clip.
Speaker 3: But we thought we had a deal.
Speaker 2: Numerous times i'd get home, I'd say, first, lady, I
had the most wonderful talk with Vladimir. I think we're finished,
and then I'll turn on the television or she'll say
to me one time, Wow, that's strange because they just
bombed a nursing home.
Speaker 3: I said, what.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I'm shocked at he even got
lifts to it because there's really nothing. Yeah, it's true,
it's exactly what would probably happen. You would say, yeah,
and today I spoke with Putin and looks like things
in moon. She'd be like, uh, Donald, I think you're
wrong about that's fun I think that you know, they
just blow up nursing home. No, no, it's not funny.
It's just not and I don't know. And that's just
one of many many sort of off comment, you know,
non humorous. But certainly it got a lot of chuckles,
like it was the White House correspondens dinner as well. Meanwhile,
he continued as I was saying, with his bit talking
about women leaving their ugly rich husbands. No, I'm serious
at a faith luncheon.
Speaker 3: Play the clip so hard and the alternative is one
of two things. You can either get all these things
and make the economy strong, or you're gonna literally have
perhaps a depression where you people so rich, so beautiful,
so nice to look at, will be totally busted. And
let's see how long your wife stays with you.
Speaker 2: You're beautiful, She'll stay with you for about three weeks,
and she's say, darling, I can't take it anymore. I
can't take it anymore, Darling, I'm leaving you.
Speaker 3: I said to one guy.
Speaker 2: He's a very very unattractive man, but he's he's smart,
and he's rich. And I said, you better hope we
get this thing past because your wife will be gone
within about two minutes. He said, you're.
Speaker 1: Right, it happens. And I actually think I know who
he's talking about. I like how he pointed to somebody
in the front row. He's talking about all his Maro
Lago people, right, the little, tiny, short guys with the
very young, tall, good looking mostly Eastern European wives. Right,
So when you see them walking, it's like she's walking
her la boo boo. All of a sudden, it's like
they lose their money. What do they got? Yeah, nothing, right,
they got divorce papers. Meanwhile, he even goes so far
and he gave demonstration of weightlifting.
Speaker 3: Play the clip to that thing being big big, big
Big could have done it all day Long broke the
record by one hundred and nineteen pounds. The whole thing
is crazy.
Speaker 1: I mean it's yes, it is crazy. The whole speech
is kind of crazy. Now, finally he went on a
rant about gas prices. You know, it's all of his
numbers are just actually wrong. The United States has not
given three hundred and fifty billion dollars of weaponry to Ukraine.
In fact, it's the other way around. The Eastern European Union.
They went ahead and they gave money more than the
United States, where about one hundred and twenty five billion,
they're over three hundred and fifty billion. His numbers are
just backwards. But he started to rant about gas prices,
claiming that some states had prices below a dollar ninety five,
and that California, because he hates California, was it seven dollars.
I want to show you that. I want to show
you legitimate numbers. Here's the data from Triple A showing
that no state is below two dollars and seventy cents,
and California is at four dollars and fifty cents. I mean,
just take look national retail prices. It's showing right there.
Today's Triple a national average three dollars and fifteen cents,
where this dollar ninety five is nowhere maybe Russia. Now,
I want to show you the clip of Trump saying
it played it.
Speaker 3: No drill baby, drill, drill baby, Bill.
Speaker 2: I got to make sure that people can afford to
produce the gas. But the gas has gone to the
lowest level in decades. And you're seeing one dollar and
ninety nine cents one dollar ninety eight eight cents, and
I saw one ninety five at certain states, not California,
because every time it goes down they had taxes, aren't
you're at six seven dollars. They just add taxes. All
they do is they keep adding taxes. A terrible governor
doesn't know what he's doing. He may be a candidate,
but if you, if you go by success, you can't
have him be a candidate.
Speaker 1: And yeah, obviously we knew where that one was going.
Let me turn around and say this, Facts actually matter
and that's what you're going to get here. And as always,
thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching.
I mean we're going to be posting daily episodes with
reactions and talking about politics. We'll be talking about everything
in fact, so please like and subscribe join us on
