1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, state regime media, otherwise as 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,200 we like to call it here Fox News, it's not 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,839 just lying anymore, not just lying to their viewers. They're 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,880 literally panicking. And I know panic when I see it. 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,960 I lived inside the Trump panic factory for more than 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,079 a decade. Welcome back to The Michael Cohne Show on 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,480 our continued journey to one million subscribers, and thanks to you. Thanks, 8 00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:27,239 we're getting there. So do me I favor, hit, subscribe, watch, comment, 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,079 and share, because together we will make this stupidity stop. 10 00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:34,200 Now Fox, let me be clear, they're melting down on 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,479 live television because Trump's entire con It's collapsing in real time, 12 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:44,159 the Epstein cover up, it's backfiring. Trump's approval numbers are 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,920 in the toilet. Independence are leaving, leaving in rare I 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,399 mean just rapid amounts of voters and young voters they 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:59,079 too are gone, Gonzo Latino voters pissed off and leaving 16 00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:04,480 as well. Democrats are somehow overperforming everywhere where there's a 17 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:09,519 real election, and Fox they have absolutely no idea how 18 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,920 to explain any of it to their viewers without admitting 19 00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:18,079 the truth that Trump is actually failing. So what did 20 00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:23,280 they do? They lie louder, they distract harder, and the worst, 21 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,239 they insult your intelligence while doing so. Let's start with 22 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,920 one of the most pathetic talking points that I've ever heard. 23 00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: Play the clip fucking This contributor Joe Conca is here 24 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:37,879 with me tonight. 25 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: Great to see you, Joe. 26 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: You know one of the little remembered promises that President 27 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,760 Trump made when he first ran for office was that 28 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,000 in America we would be able to say Mary Christmas again. 29 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: And I think it's. 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: Safe to say that he has accomplished that we can 31 00:01:57,079 --> 00:01:58,319 say Mary Christmas again. 32 00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:02,879 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, and Milania could once again repeat what she 33 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,599 had said to Stephanie Walcoff. 34 00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:09,439 Speaker 3: Fuck Christmas. Who wants chrismis anyway? I have so much 35 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:13,039 I have to decorate? Fuck Christmas? Right, I mean, let 36 00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:17,879 me be very clear, during the Biden administration, during Trump's 37 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,479 earlier first term, and even Obama's, I guess I promise 38 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,000 each and every one of you. As I handed out 39 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:25,759 to the. 40 00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: Various people in my building and so on for their 41 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,840 help their service for the year, I wished each of 42 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,400 them a merry Christmas when I handed them a Christmas 43 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,759 card with the little President's side. Now, I also want 44 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,120 to talk about the numbers that Fox does not want 45 00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:47,240 to talk about, except, of course, when one of their 46 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,960 hosts accidentally tells the truth play the clip. 47 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,599 Speaker 2: But you took you had a different view of the 48 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,120 of that particular picture. 49 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,439 Speaker 4: Well, I have a different view of everything everything that 50 00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,240 you said. So so I'm so glad that both paul 51 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,439 and Kyley have just hit the ball into my court. 52 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,400 When it comes to polls, three quarter of Americans find 53 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:11,960 that the economy specifically is fair or poor. There are 54 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:15,719 more than half of Americans who disapprove of the president's 55 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,719 job performance. And then hemorrhaging, not light losing, hemorrhaging independent voters, 56 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,159 hemorrhaging youth voters, hemorrhaging Latino voters, not going to get 57 00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:26,960 it back by the midterms. Paulo is right, and the 58 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,599 predictors for the midterms the Dems take the House, even 59 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,319 in the most conservative leading predictors and polls. Now, Dems 60 00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:36,159 have flipped twenty five Republican held state seats so far 61 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:39,800 Republicans have flipped zero. And then you have victories in 62 00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:42,599 New Jersey. You'll say, oh, that that's a blue state. Well, 63 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,599 if Virginia's a blue state. I guess Glenn Young Glenn 64 00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:48,120 youngin didn't get the memo on that Biden is not 65 00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:50,759 running for president. He is a former president. I don't 66 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,039 care where he stands on a Christmas card because he's 67 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,479 not running. He is not the leader of our party. 68 00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:58,199 He's a former president that wasn't the leader. 69 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be clear. It's not Jessica tar Love, right. 70 00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:04,639 I mean they attack Jessica Tarlo because she is a 71 00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:10,000 Democrat and it's easy for them. Here here, you're finally 72 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,639 hearing the truth whereby we are outperforming. Thank God for that, 73 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,120 and thank God for each and every one of you, 74 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,240 because together, I'm telling you, we can ensure not just 75 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,040 that Democrats win the House. I'm talking about a blue 76 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,040 title wave to wash the red off the electoral map. 77 00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:33,600 Now here's the part that Fox will not say out loud. 78 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,079 Once those voters leave Trump, they don't come back. That's 79 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,519 the part that they won't say out loud. Trump knows this. 80 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,560 Trust me. If there's anybody that knows what Trump knows, 81 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,079 it's me. He knows this to be true. And that's 82 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,399 why he's panicking. That's why the entire group around him 83 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,519 are panicking. Why they are rage posting. Why they're threatening 84 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:01,759 prosecutors in judges and journalists, anyone who won't lie for them. 85 00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:06,639 So Fox immediately has to jump in with damage control. 86 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,759 Speaker 5: Play the clip, and I think, you know, to Paul's point, 87 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,040 this is part of what we're seeing from the Democratic. 88 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 6: Side of the aisle. 89 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,199 Speaker 5: It's a lot of cope over the fact that they 90 00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:16,639 don't really have a vision, they don't have a next 91 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,959 generation leader who's going to step in and take the place. 92 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,160 And so we hear a lot about how Trump's approval 93 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,199 ratings are creatoring and blah blah blah. I mean, look, yes, 94 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,399 they're down from where they were earlier in the year. 95 00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:28,639 That's to be expected. But I think in some ways 96 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,680 Trump is a victim of his own success and that 97 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,959 voters expect a lot from him because they know that 98 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,959 he can deliver on it. 99 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a victim of his own success. Tell that 100 00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:39,600 to the person that goes to the store to buy 101 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,079 their kids' school goods and they can't afford it because 102 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,399 there's what a twenty two to twenty five forty percent 103 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,600 increase and that they also need to pay rent, gas insurance, 104 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,319 et cetera. Tell the to them when they can't afford 105 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:56,680 to put food on the table or sending a kid 106 00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:01,879 to school with a full belly. Tell it to them. Now, 107 00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:06,360 let's talk about the economy, right because Fox, they keep 108 00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:09,720 promising a miracle that's never going to come. 109 00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 7: Play that clip, and then two thirds say that things 110 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:16,399 are getting worse. This, to me is a messaging issue. 111 00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:19,319 How do you continue to tell the American people? Look, 112 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,360 the Big Beautiful Bill is now law, and that is 113 00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:24,319 going to translate into twenty twenty six. 114 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: For you. 115 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,079 Speaker 8: There's only one path, shuryl and that's going to be 116 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,759 in the pocketbook. I think the first and second quarter 117 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,560 of twenty six is going to show a lot. Remember, 118 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,560 all those tax cuts have not been implemented yet. In 119 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,480 the Great, Big Beautiful Bill, interest rates were just cut. 120 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,120 I just had a meeting with my brothers yesterday. All 121 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,879 the prices in our grocery stores are dropping like a rock. 122 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,519 Eggs are going all the way down the ninety nine cents. 123 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,279 We see the beef markets dropping, we see sugar is dropping, 124 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,639 we see all aspects of the grocery store prices are falling. 125 00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:58,000 Gas prices in Trumbull County are at two dollars a Gallon. 126 00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:01,279 Once all this starts to happen and those tax breaks happen, 127 00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:04,000 and I think we're going to really see an economy, 128 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,040 hopefully by Easter, that is roaring. And if you want 129 00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:09,079 to win this midterm and you want to keep the gavel, 130 00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:11,920 the answer one thousand percent is going to be in 131 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,680 the pocket book. 132 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be crystal clear here. All right, he's 133 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,120 parroting Howard Lutnick's comments. Who literally and I've known Howard 134 00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:23,160 now longer than I even know Trump. I know Howard 135 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,120 almost twenty five years when he came out and said 136 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,279 that America, right and now seeing a four point three 137 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,560 percent increase in our GDP means that each and every 138 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,480 one of you will now receive four point three percent 139 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,800 increase in your paychecks. It could possibly be not one 140 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,920 of the stupidest comments I've ever heard anyone say, forget 141 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,399 about somebody that's in the cabinet I'm talking about. It 142 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600 may be one of these stupid, if not the stupidest 143 00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:57,639 comment I've heard in a very long time. But things 144 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,360 get even more delusional play the clip era. 145 00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:05,079 Speaker 6: Look, small business optimism is really spiking under President Trump 146 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,920 after four very difficult years under Joe Biden. Look, small 147 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,639 business optimism is above its fifty two year average, and 148 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,800 according to the US Chamber, in the third quarter it 149 00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:16,720 reached all time records, and a lot of it thanks 150 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,879 to the Working Families tax cut that small businesses finally 151 00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,079 have certainty about what their tax rate's going to be. 152 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,360 That twenty percent pass through deduction now the one seventy 153 00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:28,639 nine expensing means that higher limits on the ability to 154 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,200 expense immediately for purchases they make and capital equipment and 155 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,799 also R and D expensing. So I don't think small 156 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,679 business owner owners have ever been so excited to pay 157 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,519 their taxes thanks to President Trump. 158 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: Wow. I mean, I'm not sure what drugs that they're taking, 159 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,879 but whatever it is, can somebody police post it on 160 00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:51,320 the government website? Because I don't feel that way. I 161 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,000 certainly don't. And while Americans, as I said before, they 162 00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:58,000 can't afford homes, they can't afford food, they're not going 163 00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:02,840 to be able to afford healthcare. Fox rolls out legitimately 164 00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:07,679 one of the most dangerous desperate ideas yet played the clip. 165 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 9: I did mention it before, and I'm gonna ask you 166 00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:12,639 again about the fifty year mortgage that's a really out 167 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,080 of the box idea. The immediate criticism was it would 168 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,159 lock younger people into longer interest paying payments. Do you 169 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,879 believe something like a fifty year mortgage could actually work 170 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:25,720 for people? 171 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 10: You know, I think it is yet to be seen. 172 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: It's very early. 173 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 10: I think more research needs to be done on a 174 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,519 fifty year mortgage and the other ideas that have been 175 00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:39,759 put forth, because one thing from hudge standpoint, from my standpoint, 176 00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:42,679 we want to make sure that the housing market is 177 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,440 secure and also for any Faha, Genny may taxpayer back 178 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,159 mortgages are stable and secure for the American people. And 179 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,559 so the fifty year mortgage and other ideas that have 180 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,840 been circulated through the public are being discussed, are on 181 00:09:56,879 --> 00:09:59,200 the table. But at the end of the day, the 182 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,639 President and the other leaders in the administration will discuss 183 00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:06,879 what's the best possible path, secure path to help the 184 00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:10,440 American people to afford a home, not just now, not 185 00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:13,159 just the younger generation, not just Gen Z millennial, but 186 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:16,600 all American people. And so again it's a top priority 187 00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:19,480 for the President, myself and others, and so those great 188 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,960 days ahead and I'm looking forward to the discussion. 189 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Scott needs a basic lesson in arithmetic, like 190 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,600 fifth grade arithmetic. Yeah. The reason that they're talking about this, 191 00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:35,559 for gen Z is who do you think is going 192 00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:38,679 to be able to live in order to deal with 193 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,480 a fifty year mortgage? What are you talking about? Somebody 194 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,039 who's forty or fifty? Now you're betting that they live 195 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,519 to nineties and to one hundred. Don't you understand? Math 196 00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:53,960 is math, Numbers don't lie. People do. And finally, this 197 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,879 is my favorite, my favorite of them all, Fox Faux 198 00:10:57,919 --> 00:11:04,440 Fox accidentally poses how completely unserious these people are when 199 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,120 it comes to math, reality, and just basic truth. 200 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,519 Speaker 11: Play the clip to night because some of them were 201 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,679 just mathematically impossible. Listen to what he said about bringing 202 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,039 down the price of prescription drugs. 203 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 12: Listen here and negotiated directly with the drug companies and 204 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,480 foreign nations to which would taken advantage of our country 205 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,759 for many decades to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals 206 00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:31,600 by as much as four hundred, five hundred, and even 207 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,240 six hundred percent. 208 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 11: Well, if you cut something by one hundred percent, the 209 00:11:36,639 --> 00:11:38,480 cost goes down to zero. If you cut it by 210 00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:40,600 four or five or six hundred percent, the drug companies 211 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,320 are actually paying you to take their product. So it 212 00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:46,159 raises the question how much of last night's speech was 213 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,120 hyperbole and how. 214 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,759 Speaker 1: Much was fact. 215 00:11:47,879 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 13: Now, what he's saying is you bringing if a drug 216 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:52,480 was one hundred dollars and you bring the drug down 217 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,279 to thirteen dollars, right, If you're looking at it from 218 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,519 thirteen dollars, it's not seven times well, but it's seven 219 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,440 hundred percent higher price before. It's down seven hundred percent now, right, 220 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,679 So a thirteen dollars would have to go up seven 221 00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:10,600 hundred percent to get back to the old one. So 222 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:12,080 it all depends on when you look at it. You 223 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,360 could say it's down eighty seven percent or you could 224 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,919 say it's It would have to go up seven hundred 225 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,960 percent to be the same one. So it just depends 226 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,320 on what you look at it. But basically, what he's saying, 227 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,399 and we all know what he's saying, is we are 228 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,279 hammering the price of drugs down. That's what's happening. And 229 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,600 he's announcing it all the time. He's got more announcements 230 00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:33,000 even between now and the end of the year. 231 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,639 Speaker 1: Howard trying to, I don't know, come up with your 232 00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:42,600 own math. It's just not going to work. All right. Basically, 233 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,720 what he should have just said is exactly what you 234 00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:47,039 said at the end, that he is hammering the drug 235 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,440 companies for something that we all want most favored nation pricing. 236 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,159 But when you start lining with the numbers one thousand 237 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,799 and two thousand, three thousand percent, I did a substeck 238 00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:59,279 on it just several days ago. I'm the one who 239 00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,399 laid out the manthy so I'm ecstatic when I saw, 240 00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:06,879 literally the very next day that Fox News put it out. Now, 241 00:13:06,879 --> 00:13:10,080 look the goal here, we all know it. It's to 242 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,279 keep the base distracted while the ship is sinking. So 243 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,120 let me leave you with this. When Fox is bragging 244 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,960 about being able to say Merry Christmas, and again, how 245 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,000 many of you said Merry Christmas over the last year 246 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,039 or two years, or three years during the holiday season, 247 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:32,039 And I'm pretty certain it's everybody. When they're promising a 248 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:37,720 booming economy, hopefully by Easter, when they're floating the stupidest, 249 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,639 the stupidest idea of a fifty year mortgage and then 250 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,799 pretending that hemorrhaging voters, it's a sign of success, not weakness. 251 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,799 You know exactly where we are, So I don't even 252 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:53,200 have to go into it. But here's what we do 253 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,080 know about Fox. They're out of lies that work and 254 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,440 they know it. And that, my friends, is the truth, 255 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:06,159 and that's why they're terrified. And as always, thanks for listening. 256 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,200 Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching.
