Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, state regime media, otherwise as
we like to call it here Fox News, it's not
just lying anymore, not just lying to their viewers. They're
literally panicking. And I know panic when I see it.
I lived inside the Trump panic factory for more than
a decade. Welcome back to The Michael Cohne Show on
our continued journey to one million subscribers, and thanks to you. Thanks,
we're getting there. So do me I favor, hit, subscribe, watch, comment,
and share, because together we will make this stupidity stop.
Now Fox, let me be clear, they're melting down on
live television because Trump's entire con It's collapsing in real time,
the Epstein cover up, it's backfiring. Trump's approval numbers are
in the toilet. Independence are leaving, leaving in rare I
mean just rapid amounts of voters and young voters they
too are gone, Gonzo Latino voters pissed off and leaving
as well. Democrats are somehow overperforming everywhere where there's a
real election, and Fox they have absolutely no idea how
to explain any of it to their viewers without admitting
the truth that Trump is actually failing. So what did
they do? They lie louder, they distract harder, and the worst,
they insult your intelligence while doing so. Let's start with
one of the most pathetic talking points that I've ever heard.
Speaker 2: Play the clip fucking This contributor Joe Conca is here
with me tonight.
Speaker 1: Great to see you, Joe.
Speaker 2: You know one of the little remembered promises that President
Trump made when he first ran for office was that
in America we would be able to say Mary Christmas again.
Speaker 1: And I think it's.
Speaker 2: Safe to say that he has accomplished that we can
say Mary Christmas again.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, and Milania could once again repeat what she
had said to Stephanie Walcoff.
Speaker 3: Fuck Christmas. Who wants chrismis anyway? I have so much
I have to decorate? Fuck Christmas? Right, I mean, let
me be very clear, during the Biden administration, during Trump's
earlier first term, and even Obama's, I guess I promise
each and every one of you. As I handed out
to the.
Speaker 1: Various people in my building and so on for their
help their service for the year, I wished each of
them a merry Christmas when I handed them a Christmas
card with the little President's side. Now, I also want
to talk about the numbers that Fox does not want
to talk about, except, of course, when one of their
hosts accidentally tells the truth play the clip.
Speaker 2: But you took you had a different view of the
of that particular picture.
Speaker 4: Well, I have a different view of everything everything that
you said. So so I'm so glad that both paul
and Kyley have just hit the ball into my court.
When it comes to polls, three quarter of Americans find
that the economy specifically is fair or poor. There are
more than half of Americans who disapprove of the president's
job performance. And then hemorrhaging, not light losing, hemorrhaging independent voters,
hemorrhaging youth voters, hemorrhaging Latino voters, not going to get
it back by the midterms. Paulo is right, and the
predictors for the midterms the Dems take the House, even
in the most conservative leading predictors and polls. Now, Dems
have flipped twenty five Republican held state seats so far
Republicans have flipped zero. And then you have victories in
New Jersey. You'll say, oh, that that's a blue state. Well,
if Virginia's a blue state. I guess Glenn Young Glenn
youngin didn't get the memo on that Biden is not
running for president. He is a former president. I don't
care where he stands on a Christmas card because he's
not running. He is not the leader of our party.
He's a former president that wasn't the leader.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be clear. It's not Jessica tar Love, right.
I mean they attack Jessica Tarlo because she is a
Democrat and it's easy for them. Here here, you're finally
hearing the truth whereby we are outperforming. Thank God for that,
and thank God for each and every one of you,
because together, I'm telling you, we can ensure not just
that Democrats win the House. I'm talking about a blue
title wave to wash the red off the electoral map.
Now here's the part that Fox will not say out loud.
Once those voters leave Trump, they don't come back. That's
the part that they won't say out loud. Trump knows this.
Trust me. If there's anybody that knows what Trump knows,
it's me. He knows this to be true. And that's
why he's panicking. That's why the entire group around him
are panicking. Why they are rage posting. Why they're threatening
prosecutors in judges and journalists, anyone who won't lie for them.
So Fox immediately has to jump in with damage control.
Speaker 5: Play the clip, and I think, you know, to Paul's point,
this is part of what we're seeing from the Democratic.
Speaker 6: Side of the aisle.
Speaker 5: It's a lot of cope over the fact that they
don't really have a vision, they don't have a next
generation leader who's going to step in and take the place.
And so we hear a lot about how Trump's approval
ratings are creatoring and blah blah blah. I mean, look, yes,
they're down from where they were earlier in the year.
That's to be expected. But I think in some ways
Trump is a victim of his own success and that
voters expect a lot from him because they know that
he can deliver on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a victim of his own success. Tell that
to the person that goes to the store to buy
their kids' school goods and they can't afford it because
there's what a twenty two to twenty five forty percent
increase and that they also need to pay rent, gas insurance,
et cetera. Tell the to them when they can't afford
to put food on the table or sending a kid
to school with a full belly. Tell it to them. Now,
let's talk about the economy, right because Fox, they keep
promising a miracle that's never going to come.
Speaker 7: Play that clip, and then two thirds say that things
are getting worse. This, to me is a messaging issue.
How do you continue to tell the American people? Look,
the Big Beautiful Bill is now law, and that is
going to translate into twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4: For you.
Speaker 8: There's only one path, shuryl and that's going to be
in the pocketbook. I think the first and second quarter
of twenty six is going to show a lot. Remember,
all those tax cuts have not been implemented yet. In
the Great, Big Beautiful Bill, interest rates were just cut.
I just had a meeting with my brothers yesterday. All
the prices in our grocery stores are dropping like a rock.
Eggs are going all the way down the ninety nine cents.
We see the beef markets dropping, we see sugar is dropping,
we see all aspects of the grocery store prices are falling.
Gas prices in Trumbull County are at two dollars a Gallon.
Once all this starts to happen and those tax breaks happen,
and I think we're going to really see an economy,
hopefully by Easter, that is roaring. And if you want
to win this midterm and you want to keep the gavel,
the answer one thousand percent is going to be in
the pocket book.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be crystal clear here. All right, he's
parroting Howard Lutnick's comments. Who literally and I've known Howard
now longer than I even know Trump. I know Howard
almost twenty five years when he came out and said
that America, right and now seeing a four point three
percent increase in our GDP means that each and every
one of you will now receive four point three percent
increase in your paychecks. It could possibly be not one
of the stupidest comments I've ever heard anyone say, forget
about somebody that's in the cabinet I'm talking about. It
may be one of these stupid, if not the stupidest
comment I've heard in a very long time. But things
get even more delusional play the clip era.
Speaker 6: Look, small business optimism is really spiking under President Trump
after four very difficult years under Joe Biden. Look, small
business optimism is above its fifty two year average, and
according to the US Chamber, in the third quarter it
reached all time records, and a lot of it thanks
to the Working Families tax cut that small businesses finally
have certainty about what their tax rate's going to be.
That twenty percent pass through deduction now the one seventy
nine expensing means that higher limits on the ability to
expense immediately for purchases they make and capital equipment and
also R and D expensing. So I don't think small
business owner owners have ever been so excited to pay
their taxes thanks to President Trump.
Speaker 1: Wow. I mean, I'm not sure what drugs that they're taking,
but whatever it is, can somebody police post it on
the government website? Because I don't feel that way. I
certainly don't. And while Americans, as I said before, they
can't afford homes, they can't afford food, they're not going
to be able to afford healthcare. Fox rolls out legitimately
one of the most dangerous desperate ideas yet played the clip.
Speaker 9: I did mention it before, and I'm gonna ask you
again about the fifty year mortgage that's a really out
of the box idea. The immediate criticism was it would
lock younger people into longer interest paying payments. Do you
believe something like a fifty year mortgage could actually work
for people?
Speaker 10: You know, I think it is yet to be seen.
Speaker 1: It's very early.
Speaker 10: I think more research needs to be done on a
fifty year mortgage and the other ideas that have been
put forth, because one thing from hudge standpoint, from my standpoint,
we want to make sure that the housing market is
secure and also for any Faha, Genny may taxpayer back
mortgages are stable and secure for the American people. And
so the fifty year mortgage and other ideas that have
been circulated through the public are being discussed, are on
the table. But at the end of the day, the
President and the other leaders in the administration will discuss
what's the best possible path, secure path to help the
American people to afford a home, not just now, not
just the younger generation, not just Gen Z millennial, but
all American people. And so again it's a top priority
for the President, myself and others, and so those great
days ahead and I'm looking forward to the discussion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Scott needs a basic lesson in arithmetic, like
fifth grade arithmetic. Yeah. The reason that they're talking about this,
for gen Z is who do you think is going
to be able to live in order to deal with
a fifty year mortgage? What are you talking about? Somebody
who's forty or fifty? Now you're betting that they live
to nineties and to one hundred. Don't you understand? Math
is math, Numbers don't lie. People do. And finally, this
is my favorite, my favorite of them all, Fox Faux
Fox accidentally poses how completely unserious these people are when
it comes to math, reality, and just basic truth.
Speaker 11: Play the clip to night because some of them were
just mathematically impossible. Listen to what he said about bringing
down the price of prescription drugs.
Speaker 12: Listen here and negotiated directly with the drug companies and
foreign nations to which would taken advantage of our country
for many decades to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals
by as much as four hundred, five hundred, and even
six hundred percent.
Speaker 11: Well, if you cut something by one hundred percent, the
cost goes down to zero. If you cut it by
four or five or six hundred percent, the drug companies
are actually paying you to take their product. So it
raises the question how much of last night's speech was
hyperbole and how.
Speaker 1: Much was fact.
Speaker 13: Now, what he's saying is you bringing if a drug
was one hundred dollars and you bring the drug down
to thirteen dollars, right, If you're looking at it from
thirteen dollars, it's not seven times well, but it's seven
hundred percent higher price before. It's down seven hundred percent now, right,
So a thirteen dollars would have to go up seven
hundred percent to get back to the old one. So
it all depends on when you look at it. You
could say it's down eighty seven percent or you could
say it's It would have to go up seven hundred
percent to be the same one. So it just depends
on what you look at it. But basically, what he's saying,
and we all know what he's saying, is we are
hammering the price of drugs down. That's what's happening. And
he's announcing it all the time. He's got more announcements
even between now and the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Howard trying to, I don't know, come up with your
own math. It's just not going to work. All right. Basically,
what he should have just said is exactly what you
said at the end, that he is hammering the drug
companies for something that we all want most favored nation pricing.
But when you start lining with the numbers one thousand
and two thousand, three thousand percent, I did a substeck
on it just several days ago. I'm the one who
laid out the manthy so I'm ecstatic when I saw,
literally the very next day that Fox News put it out. Now,
look the goal here, we all know it. It's to
keep the base distracted while the ship is sinking. So
let me leave you with this. When Fox is bragging
about being able to say Merry Christmas, and again, how
many of you said Merry Christmas over the last year
or two years, or three years during the holiday season,
And I'm pretty certain it's everybody. When they're promising a
booming economy, hopefully by Easter, when they're floating the stupidest,
the stupidest idea of a fifty year mortgage and then
pretending that hemorrhaging voters, it's a sign of success, not weakness.
You know exactly where we are, So I don't even
have to go into it. But here's what we do
know about Fox. They're out of lies that work and
they know it. And that, my friends, is the truth,
and that's why they're terrified. And as always, thanks for listening.
Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching. I mean,
we're gonna be posting daily episodes with reactions and talking
about politics. We'll be talking about everything in fact, so
