00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,319
Speaker 1: And welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show. On our

00:00:02,319 --> 00:00:05,879
continued journey to half a million subscribers. It's taking a

3
00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:08,960
lot longer than I was hoping. Hit subscribe, watch comment,

4
00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:12,759
and please share with family and friends, because the insanity

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,519
it's not stopping now. Look, Trump started off his Tuesday

6
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:19,760
morning on an ironic foot. We know that Trump has

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,800
been found guilty in the past of criminal tax fraud

8
00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:26,359
in New York City, the Alvin Bragg case. Well, this

9
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:29,079
morning he took a shot at one of his least

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:34,719
favorite Democrats, Adam Shifty Shift, who was just in another attempt,

11
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:40,119
my opinion, distracting from this entire Epstein drama. Now I

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,399
want to show you what Trump turned around and said.

13
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:46,119
In it, he writes, I have always suspected shifty Adam

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,679
Schiff was a scam artist, and now I learned that

15
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:54,159
Fannie May's Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff

16
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:58,920
has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible mortgage fraud.

17
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:03,759
Adam said that his primary residence was in Maryland to

18
00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:07,319
get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America when he

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,760
must live in California because he was a congressman from California.

20
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,159
I always knew Adam Schiff was a crook. The fraud

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,959
began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,439
sixth of two thousand and nine and continue through multiple

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,680
transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a

24
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:32,959
second home on October thirteenth of twenty twenty. Mortgage fraud

25
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:37,040
is very serious and crooked. Adam Schiff, now a senator,

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,680
needs to be brought to justice. Well if true. Not

27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,359
going to disagree with that. Trump then goes and he

28
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,719
spoke at the White House Faith Luncheon yesterday, where he

29
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,719
also mentioned his criminal history. Play the clip he.

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: Did, I think I got indicted five times in peach

31
00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:01,640
two times or bullshit? Right? Oh, terrible stuff.

32
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,719
Speaker 1: Do I have to remind you we're at of faith luncheon.

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:05,879
Speaker 3: Yeah.

34
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:09,479
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Trump always tries to twist history, and earlier in

35
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,800
the day he spoke with the NATO Secretary General claiming

36
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,159
that he knew Pete Hegseth was pausing the weapons to Ukraine.

37
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,080
Play the clips the.

38
00:02:21,039 --> 00:02:22,879
Speaker 2: Fact they're coming over, they'd like to talk to us.

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 4: Is there any concern about the US stockpiles? There was

40
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:32,240
a pause in delivery of weaponry to Ukraine in order

41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,520
to evaluate apparently the US stockpiles.

42
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: What came out of that evaluation.

43
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:39,319
Speaker 2: I mean, this was a very big What we're talking

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,719
about today is a very very big day. And what

45
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:47,000
Pete was doing, and me too, I knew what Pete

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,439
was doing was evaluation because we knew this was going

47
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,280
to happen. And now we actually announced that they voted

48
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:58,039
on it. It's all been done. So obviously that has

49
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,000
a big impact on when you say pause. Obviously you're

50
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:03,680
not going to be doing things if you don't know

51
00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:05,800
what's going to happen here. But we were pretty sure

52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,360
that this was going to happen, so we did a

53
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,919
little bit of a pause. But this is a very

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,319
big this is a very big event today, this is

55
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:12,879
something better.

56
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: Okay, so it is a big event, But why not

57
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:23,879
just come clean and say after the pause? I had

58
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,639
Pete Hegseth provide me a detailed analysis to which I reviewed, examined,

59
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,840
and here are my findings. Because we all know it's

60
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:37,120
not true. We all know that he didn't know. And

61
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:39,520
if you don't believe me, let me show you a

62
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,080
clip of Trump last week saying that he didn't know

63
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,319
about the pause play the clips to Ukraine.

64
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:51,199
Speaker 2: As you said last night, last week, the Pentagon paused

65
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:54,120
some shipments of weapons to Ukraine. Did you approve of

66
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,520
that pass? We wanted to put defensive weapons because Putin

67
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,240
he's not treating human beings right, He's killing too many people.

68
00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:07,080
So we're sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine and I've

69
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,639
approved then.

70
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:09,439
Speaker 1: So who ordered the pause last week?

71
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what.

72
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:12,919
Speaker 4: And you tell me you think that's a question.

73
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't know. Meanwhile, Trump's major announcement yesterday was

74
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,360
that he gave Putin an ultimatum. That's good. It's good

75
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:26,079
to give Putin an ultimatum. It doesn't just affect Putin,

76
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,639
it affixed anybody that actually is working alongside and doing

77
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:36,000
business with Russia to either make a deal in fifty

78
00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:40,399
days or there will be new tariffs. Play the clip together.

79
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:44,639
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons that you're here today is

80
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:48,800
to hear that we are very unhappy I am with Russia,

81
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,600
but we'll discuss that maybe a different day. But we're

82
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,600
very very unhappy with him, and we're going to be

83
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:59,879
doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal

84
00:04:59,879 --> 00:05:04,279
in fifty days. Tariffsaid about one hundred percent. You call

85
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:08,360
them secondary tariffs. You know what that means. But today

86
00:05:08,399 --> 00:05:11,720
we're going to talk about something else. And as you know,

87
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,399
we've spent three hundred and fifty million dollars approximately on

88
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,120
this war with Russia and Ukraine and would like to

89
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,399
see it end. It wasn't my war. It was Biden's war.

90
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,000
It's not my war. I'm trying to get you out

91
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,519
of it, and we want to.

92
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: See it end.

93
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: And I'm disappointed in President Putin because I thought we

94
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,399
would have had a deal two months ago, but it

95
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:37,839
doesn't seem to get there. So based on that, we're

96
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,800
going to be doing secondary tariffs if we don't have

97
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,480
a deal on fifty days. It's very simple, and they'll

98
00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:45,879
be at one hundred percent. And that's the way it is.

99
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,000
That can be more simple, but it's just the way

100
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,360
it is. I hope we don't have to do it.

101
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:53,519
Speaker 1: See, I'm not really sure. I understand two aspects of that.

102
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,399
First and foremost, why fifty days? Why not turn around

103
00:05:57,439 --> 00:05:59,759
and say you're concerned about the death toll, which I

104
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,120
am as well, and I applaud him for worrying about

105
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,680
the death toll. That's happening in Ukraine right now, Well,

106
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,639
why not just turn around immediate immediate cessation of these

107
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:18,399
attacks on innocent civilians and their and their properties. Porter

108
00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:21,439
goes on and asks Trump what he would do if

109
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,360
Putin escalated the war, same question I'm asking, play the

110
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:30,360
clip further. How far are you willing to go in response?

111
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:33,319
In what? In what? How far are you willing to

112
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:36,079
go if Putin were to escalate? Send more bombs in

113
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:36,879
the coming days.

114
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,399
Speaker 2: And ask me a question like that, how far I

115
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,439
want to get the war settled? They're not Americans that

116
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,639
are dying in it, and you know, I have a problem,

117
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,160
and JD has a problem. It's a stance that he's

118
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,079
had for a long time. They're not Americans dying, but

119
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,120
there are a lot of people dying and on something

120
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:55,519
that should be able to be settled. And we all

121
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,040
agree with that, this group of people that you know,

122
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:01,879
we want to defend our country. But you know, ultimately

123
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,399
having a strong Europe is a very good thing. It's

124
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:07,480
a very good thing. So I'm okay with that.

125
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know why he was taking offense

126
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,839
to the question. It's actually a very good question. If

127
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:19,600
you think about it because Putin will escalate the war. Well,

128
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:22,000
all he needed to do is turn around and say,

129
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:25,720
if he escalates the war, if one more missile, one

130
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,560
more drone, if one more attack on Ukraine takes place,

131
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,160
and one more death, immediately the tariffs go into place again,

132
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,519
not just on Russia, because we don't do any trading

133
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,279
with Russia. Russia doesn't produce shit other than what oil. Right,

134
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:45,639
what was the lafetime You looked at your T shirt

135
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,480
and it said, oh, made in Russia. It's not where

136
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,879
it's made. So do we really care about tariffs regarding

137
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:56,160
commerce and trade? The answer is no, But we do

138
00:07:56,279 --> 00:08:00,879
care about China, and China is in part supplying them

139
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:04,600
with these weapons and so therefore China now would be

140
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,439
stuck with a one hundred tariff on their goods. That's

141
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,040
just a simple explanation, and it makes him look strong.

142
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,759
So why they're telling him, well, why he's not going

143
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,360
along with that narrative? Again, I can't figure it out. Meanwhile,

144
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,319
Trump also had to correct himself when he said that

145
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:28,079
Russia's military advancements were positive play the clip.

146
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:32,799
Speaker 2: But they don't have their losing on equipment and Russia's

147
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,759
really taken a very positive, very very.

148
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: Strong.

149
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:39,879
Speaker 2: I mean, what they've done the last couple of weeks.

150
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: With our military reasons, that's what they're doing is savahlo

151
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,360
drones today, missiles, bombing cities. This is not because of

152
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,000
military goals. It is just creating.

153
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: Panic, hitting people of their sleeves, hating towns. It's really terrible,

154
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,080
and it's just meaning a lot of people whose their lives.

155
00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. But meanwhile, yes, yesterday at the faith luncheon,

156
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,120
Trump just started rambling about his talks with Putin. Not

157
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,559
really sure that this is the right place. I've been

158
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,919
to these with Trump. I remember going with him to

159
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,200
the Faith and Freedom Caucus with Ralph Reid. But here he,

160
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,200
I don't know, didn't really treat it more like a

161
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:22,200
faith luncheon as much as he did more like a

162
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,200
comedy cafe. But he started rambling about his talks with Putin,

163
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:30,799
and he seemed to think again that this wasn't a

164
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:35,240
faith luncheon but a comedy show. Played the clip.

165
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: But we thought we had a deal.

166
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: Numerous times i'd get home, I'd say, first, lady, I

167
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,240
had the most wonderful talk with Vladimir. I think we're finished,

168
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,639
and then I'll turn on the television or she'll say

169
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,480
to me one time, Wow, that's strange because they just

170
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,639
bombed a nursing home.

171
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,039
Speaker 3: I said, what.

172
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I'm shocked at he even got

173
00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:04,720
lifts to it because there's really nothing. Yeah, it's true,

174
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,480
it's exactly what would probably happen. You would say, yeah,

175
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,360
and today I spoke with Putin and looks like things

176
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,159
in moon. She'd be like, uh, Donald, I think you're

177
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,240
wrong about that's fun I think that you know, they

178
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,080
just blow up nursing home. No, no, it's not funny.

179
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,559
It's just not and I don't know. And that's just

180
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:28,120
one of many many sort of off comment, you know,

181
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,519
non humorous. But certainly it got a lot of chuckles,

182
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:35,080
like it was the White House correspondens dinner as well. Meanwhile,

183
00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:37,720
he continued as I was saying, with his bit talking

184
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:42,440
about women leaving their ugly rich husbands. No, I'm serious

185
00:10:42,799 --> 00:10:43,879
at a faith luncheon.

186
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,279
Speaker 3: Play the clip so hard and the alternative is one

187
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:51,840
of two things. You can either get all these things

188
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:55,360
and make the economy strong, or you're gonna literally have

189
00:10:55,639 --> 00:10:59,399
perhaps a depression where you people so rich, so beautiful,

190
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,639
so nice to look at, will be totally busted. And

191
00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:06,120
let's see how long your wife stays with you.

192
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,639
Speaker 2: You're beautiful, She'll stay with you for about three weeks,

193
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,600
and she's say, darling, I can't take it anymore. I

194
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:14,840
can't take it anymore, Darling, I'm leaving you.

195
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,279
Speaker 3: I said to one guy.

196
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,399
Speaker 2: He's a very very unattractive man, but he's he's smart,

197
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:24,799
and he's rich. And I said, you better hope we

198
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,840
get this thing past because your wife will be gone

199
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:30,840
within about two minutes. He said, you're.

200
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: Right, it happens. And I actually think I know who

201
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,799
he's talking about. I like how he pointed to somebody

202
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,159
in the front row. He's talking about all his Maro

203
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,279
Lago people, right, the little, tiny, short guys with the

204
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:47,919
very young, tall, good looking mostly Eastern European wives. Right,

205
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:50,240
So when you see them walking, it's like she's walking

206
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,559
her la boo boo. All of a sudden, it's like

207
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,120
they lose their money. What do they got? Yeah, nothing, right,

208
00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:59,559
they got divorce papers. Meanwhile, he even goes so far

209
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,600
and he gave demonstration of weightlifting.

210
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:07,159
Speaker 3: Play the clip to that thing being big big, big

211
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,799
Big could have done it all day Long broke the

212
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,120
record by one hundred and nineteen pounds. The whole thing

213
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,840
is crazy.

214
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:21,799
Speaker 1: I mean it's yes, it is crazy. The whole speech

215
00:12:21,879 --> 00:12:24,519
is kind of crazy. Now, finally he went on a

216
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,240
rant about gas prices. You know, it's all of his

217
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,080
numbers are just actually wrong. The United States has not

218
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,440
given three hundred and fifty billion dollars of weaponry to Ukraine.

219
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,679
In fact, it's the other way around. The Eastern European Union.

220
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:43,240
They went ahead and they gave money more than the

221
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,039
United States, where about one hundred and twenty five billion,

222
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,799
they're over three hundred and fifty billion. His numbers are

223
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,360
just backwards. But he started to rant about gas prices,

224
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:57,360
claiming that some states had prices below a dollar ninety five,

225
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,759
and that California, because he hates California, was it seven dollars.

226
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,240
I want to show you that. I want to show

227
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,600
you legitimate numbers. Here's the data from Triple A showing

228
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:13,639
that no state is below two dollars and seventy cents,

229
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:18,120
and California is at four dollars and fifty cents. I mean,

230
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,720
just take look national retail prices. It's showing right there.

231
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:27,639
Today's Triple a national average three dollars and fifteen cents,

232
00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:34,000
where this dollar ninety five is nowhere maybe Russia. Now,

233
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,360
I want to show you the clip of Trump saying

234
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,120
it played it.

235
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: No drill baby, drill, drill baby, Bill.

236
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: I got to make sure that people can afford to

237
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,840
produce the gas. But the gas has gone to the

238
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:50,559
lowest level in decades. And you're seeing one dollar and

239
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:54,159
ninety nine cents one dollar ninety eight eight cents, and

240
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,440
I saw one ninety five at certain states, not California,

241
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,679
because every time it goes down they had taxes, aren't

242
00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:03,960
you're at six seven dollars. They just add taxes. All

243
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,279
they do is they keep adding taxes. A terrible governor

244
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,200
doesn't know what he's doing. He may be a candidate,

245
00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:13,360
but if you, if you go by success, you can't

246
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,480
have him be a candidate.

247
00:14:14,799 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: And yeah, obviously we knew where that one was going.

248
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,840
Let me turn around and say this, Facts actually matter

249
00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:26,639
and that's what you're going to get here. And as always,
