Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our journey
to two hundred and fifty thousand. By the way, we're
thirty five thousand subscribers short. So if you like what
you see, hit the subscribe, be a part of the community,
and share with a friend. So you can't make this
stuff up, my friends. Yesterday Von Shitzen pants Donald J.
Trump was in North Carolina, and I want to specifically
talk about his presser in Swannona, North Carolina, where Trump
spoke with Congressman Chuck Edwards about the disaster relief. Okay,
it's unbelievable. In one spot, the congressman completely debunks the
lies that Trump says, but he won't do it to
his face. He's a chicken shit all right. This is
is unbelieva. So first I want to show you this
clip of Edwards and Trump, this is great, discussing his
brand new frymaking pin while standing standing in front of
rubble rubble that looked like it's from a war as
a result of the hurricane. Hurricane Helene.
Speaker 2: Play that clip offered because you know I also own
McDonald's restaurants. I know that you perfected your skills behind
the counter a day or so ago, and it was
my honor to present President Trump with the French Fry
Certification pen.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for being here. Thank you, God
bless you. It's really much. Thank you. Thank you again.
Speaker 1: No, seriously, seriously, this shit is actually happening. We're fourteen
days out from the most consequential election in the history
of this country and this guy's congratulating a presidential nominee
for his skills in French fry making. He stood over
a four dollars twenty five cent an hour worker who's
making French fries. And they give the in on top
of all of this to Donald Trump while standing in
front of rubble. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
But later, later last night in Concord, North Carolina, this
is what Trump had to say about the hurricane. Play
that clip.
Speaker 4: Such hell and it's as big a a water you know,
that's as big a water storm, they say, as we've
ever seen in this country.
Speaker 3: And they just set a record.
Speaker 1: Again, it's as big a water storm as we've ever
seen in the country. Yet, Yet what does he do
He completely debunks his own words because earlier a reporter
asked him at a presser earlier about the disaster aid
and this is what Trump had to say in response
to that question.
Speaker 5: Play the clip colleagues and Senator top Tenant Tillis and
asking for Congress to think you need so that more
federal funding can be brought to western North Carolina. Do
you expect to master colleagues towards.
Speaker 3: Under Well, I would be in favor of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a very unusual situation, and I would
be in.
Speaker 3: Favor of it.
Speaker 4: Now, you know, in theory, they're supposed to have it,
but they spent a lot of money on bringing illegal migrants,
people that came into our country illegally and taking them in,
and all of the money they've spent numbers that nobody
can even believe.
Speaker 3: So they don't have any money for the people that
live here.
Speaker 4: They got hit by one of the worst storms, possibly
the worst storm ever, but one of the worst storms
in the history of our country. And it's a shame
because they should have the money. They spent money that
I don't believe they're supposed to be spending for that,
as you know, So I think it's a disgrace what
happened with FEMA. What's happened with their rescue effort. Their
rescue effort was almost non existent.
Speaker 1: But again a pack of lies designed to what once
again scapegoat migrants, right. The divisive nature and the divisive rhetoric,
the lies that this man spews. He spews lies like
you breathe. It's incredible every time you take a breath.
Just know that with each breath that you're taking, Trump
is spewing a lie. And the part that really offends
me the most, and I hope it offends each and
every one of you as well, is the man who
is standing over to his right, that would be camera
right his left shoulder, representative Chuck Edwards. All right, I
mean he's standing there and he's nodding his head, yeah
yeah yeah, while over their shoulders behind them. Again, you
see all of the rubble. And the reason I bring
up Chuck Edwards, the one standing next to Trump is
here's what Chuck Edwards had to say on his website
about FEMA. This is that guy with the sweepover the
Trump sweep right. And you may remember in my book
Disloyal Flip Flap Flop, it's called debunking Helene. That's Hurricane
Helene response myths. This is This is him, this is
Representative Congressman Chuck Edwards of North Carolina's eleventh district. And
here's what he says. Number four, FEMA has not capitalnot
not diverted disaster response funding to the border or foreign aid.
He then goes on with the subparens there disaster response
efforts and individual assistants are funded through the Disaster Relief Fund,
which is a dedicated fund for yeh disaster efforts. He
then goes on with a sub sub FEMA's non disaster
the related presence at the border has always been of
major concern to me, even before Hurricane Helene, and I
will continue to condemn their deployment of personnel to the
southern border, but we must separate the two issues. And
on top of the number five, FEMA is once again
not capital, not going to run out of money, and
FEMA officials have repeatedly affirmed that the agency has enough
money for immediate response and recovery needs over the next
few months. Why is this important? Why is this important?
Because this fucking asshole, Chuck Edwards sat there and said
absolutely nothing, not a single word, while Trump before the
media was lying about FEMA. It is exactly contradictory. It
is a total contradiction to what Chuck Edwards had written
on his own website. So which one is it? Chuck?
Are you gonna sit there like the impotent asshole that
you are and allow this man to spew lies or
are you gonna stand up for truth? We're fourteen days
out again from the most consequential, consequential election in the
history of our country, and you're gonna sit there impotent
like an asshole and say absolutely nothing. Shame on you. Then,
then Trump has asked about FEMA workers being threatened again
alive play this clipsident.
Speaker 6: Trump a Mark Gunman for the rest of the charge
of making threats against FEMA workers.
Speaker 7: On Saturdays ago, FEMA had a safety.
Speaker 1: Stand down because of continue incredible threats.
Speaker 6: Isn't helping the recovery after the North Carolina to take
who he's playing?
Speaker 3: But THEMA is not doing job well. I think you
have to let people know how they're doing.
Speaker 4: If they were doing a great job, I think we
should say that too, because I think they should be rewarded.
But if they're not doing does that mean that if
they're doing a poor job, we're supposed to not say it?
These people are entitled to say it, and these are
honest people behind us. If FEMA were doing well, they
would be saying they did a good job. They're not,
for the most part, political people. For the most part,
they're not political people. But you've obviously seen nothing, but
you know, very bad statements coming out about the job
that FEMA and this administration has done having to do
with this area North Carolina as a whole, and by
the way, other states also they're also complaining.
Speaker 3: But look, a lot of the money is gone. They
don't have any money.
Speaker 4: They have they have to have a meeting in Washington,
a special meeting in Washington to get money.
Speaker 3: It's all done. They've spent it on illegal migrants.
Speaker 4: Many of them are murderers, many of them are drug dealers,
many of them come out of mental institutions and insane asylums,
and any of them are terrorists. And they spend money
to bring these people into our country, and they don't
have money to take care of the people from North
Carolina and other states.
Speaker 3: So, you know, I think you have to be able
to speak. Does that mean let's talk about.
Speaker 4: It, because by doing that they'll do a better job
the next time.
Speaker 3: It's very important. Yeah, one more question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, once again, race baiting, gaslighting, xenophobia, holy crap. And
again Chuck Edwards just stands there, says nothing while he
knows that the man is lying. Look a lot of
times you'll see I get really passionate with this. Why
because again, our democracy is hanging on a thread from
a guy who's like, by the way, did you notice
the gigantic pile of scrap that was sitting behind Trump's
shoulder camera?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I'm sure that the hurricane nicely, nicely piled
up all of the scrap metal into that one big,
gigantic ball, right, could you imagine? Sure, that's what it did.
It didn't scatter it everywhere, It put it in nice
piles so that it could be moved. And so on.
What is he talking about? He thinks that he can
do everything in twenty four hours. This guy can't wash
his own fucking ass in twenty four hours. It's a joke.
It's a joke in the fact that nobody turned around
when he turned when Donald turned around and said, you
know a lot of other states are complaining, or this
organization is saying that this. Why not ask him, mister Trump,
what organization are you referring to? And who are the people?
And which states are you referring to? When you turn
around and you say that they are complaining that they're
not getting assistance from FEMA, can you identify who these
people are? And I promise you that would shut him up.
He will not tell you because he's making it up. Now. Lastly,
here's what Don Junior had to say about the threat
and the threats to the FEMA workers. Play that clip.
Speaker 7: Do those messages help the disaster recovery effort? I think
they do.
Speaker 6: Donald Trump Junior doubled down on his dad's repeated false
claims about disaster recovery in North Carolina, including claims there
isn't federal aid at all and that Democratic Governor Roy
Cooper was only sending help to Democratic voters.
Speaker 3: While it may come off as aggressive to.
Speaker 6: Some, I get that.
Speaker 3: I think it's totally required.
Speaker 7: So today, some FEMA staff has been ordered to stay
at their hotels because of a credible safety threat from
our militias against FEMA. The FEMA staff that are on
the ground in the mountains. Do we need to tone
the rhetoric down a little bit?
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't seen that unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Daddy
lies and the kid swears to it. He has no
idea what he's talking about. Great, you throw on a
baseball cap, you throw on a vest, and so on
an off you go. And the damage that they are
creating is boundless and they don't care. You See, this
isn't an election about doing anything for the people, not
the people who are damaged or injured as a result
of Hurricane Helene or any of the other natural disasters
that the country deals with. Now, this is all about
their election, about making sure that Donald never is held
to accountability ever, that he wins the election so that
the family can continue to grift off of this election.
And so, my friends, I'm going to end this as
I do all by saying we're fourteen days out. Make
sure you go immediately to vote dot org. If you
