1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our journey

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,879

you see, hit the subscribe, be a part of the community,

00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,759
and share with a friend. So you can't make this

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,160
stuff up, my friends. Yesterday Von Shitzen pants Donald J.

7
00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:23,519
Trump was in North Carolina, and I want to specifically

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,879
talk about his presser in Swannona, North Carolina, where Trump

9
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:34,960
spoke with Congressman Chuck Edwards about the disaster relief. Okay,

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,560
it's unbelievable. In one spot, the congressman completely debunks the

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,280
lies that Trump says, but he won't do it to

12
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:46,399
his face. He's a chicken shit all right. This is

13
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:48,840
is unbelieva. So first I want to show you this

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,240
clip of Edwards and Trump, this is great, discussing his

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,840
brand new frymaking pin while standing standing in front of

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,520
rubble rubble that looked like it's from a war as

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,120
a result of the hurricane. Hurricane Helene.

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: Play that clip offered because you know I also own

19
00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:13,640
McDonald's restaurants. I know that you perfected your skills behind

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,439
the counter a day or so ago, and it was

21
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:21,319
my honor to present President Trump with the French Fry

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,760
Certification pen.

23
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for being here. Thank you, God

24
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:30,400
bless you. It's really much. Thank you. Thank you again.

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: No, seriously, seriously, this shit is actually happening. We're fourteen

26
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:42,200
days out from the most consequential election in the history

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,319
of this country and this guy's congratulating a presidential nominee

28
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:52,680
for his skills in French fry making. He stood over

29
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,359
a four dollars twenty five cent an hour worker who's

30
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:00,680
making French fries. And they give the in on top

31
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:04,000
of all of this to Donald Trump while standing in

32
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,680
front of rubble. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,800
But later, later last night in Concord, North Carolina, this

34
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:19,240
is what Trump had to say about the hurricane. Play

35
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:19,840
that clip.

36
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:24,439
Speaker 4: Such hell and it's as big a a water you know,

37
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:27,639
that's as big a water storm, they say, as we've

38
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:29,159
ever seen in this country.

39
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: And they just set a record.

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: Again, it's as big a water storm as we've ever

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,599
seen in the country. Yet, Yet what does he do

42
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:46,000
He completely debunks his own words because earlier a reporter

43
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:51,520
asked him at a presser earlier about the disaster aid

44
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:55,479
and this is what Trump had to say in response

45
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,360
to that question.

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:03,199
Speaker 5: Play the clip colleagues and Senator top Tenant Tillis and

47
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,919
asking for Congress to think you need so that more

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,319
federal funding can be brought to western North Carolina. Do

49
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,639
you expect to master colleagues towards.

50
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,039
Speaker 3: Under Well, I would be in favor of it.

51
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a very unusual situation, and I would

52
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,439
be in.

53
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: Favor of it.

54
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: Now, you know, in theory, they're supposed to have it,

55
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:24,759
but they spent a lot of money on bringing illegal migrants,

56
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:29,120
people that came into our country illegally and taking them in,

57
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:32,680
and all of the money they've spent numbers that nobody

58
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:33,560
can even believe.

59
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: So they don't have any money for the people that

60
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,199
live here.

61
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,319
Speaker 4: They got hit by one of the worst storms, possibly

62
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,560
the worst storm ever, but one of the worst storms

63
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,479
in the history of our country. And it's a shame

64
00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:47,159
because they should have the money. They spent money that

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,000
I don't believe they're supposed to be spending for that,

66
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:52,879
as you know, So I think it's a disgrace what

67
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,479
happened with FEMA. What's happened with their rescue effort. Their

68
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,120
rescue effort was almost non existent.

69
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: But again a pack of lies designed to what once

70
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:14,879
again scapegoat migrants, right. The divisive nature and the divisive rhetoric,

71
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:19,839
the lies that this man spews. He spews lies like

72
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,199
you breathe. It's incredible every time you take a breath.

73
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,759
Just know that with each breath that you're taking, Trump

74
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,199
is spewing a lie. And the part that really offends

75
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,519
me the most, and I hope it offends each and

76
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,319
every one of you as well, is the man who

77
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,680
is standing over to his right, that would be camera

78
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:46,000
right his left shoulder, representative Chuck Edwards. All right, I

79
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,959
mean he's standing there and he's nodding his head, yeah

80
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,920
yeah yeah, while over their shoulders behind them. Again, you

81
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,639
see all of the rubble. And the reason I bring

82
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:02,959
up Chuck Edwards, the one standing next to Trump is

83
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,360
here's what Chuck Edwards had to say on his website

84
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,279
about FEMA. This is that guy with the sweepover the

85
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,759
Trump sweep right. And you may remember in my book

86
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,199
Disloyal Flip Flap Flop, it's called debunking Helene. That's Hurricane

87
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,480
Helene response myths. This is This is him, this is

88
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,160
Representative Congressman Chuck Edwards of North Carolina's eleventh district. And

89
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:36,319
here's what he says. Number four, FEMA has not capitalnot

90
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,439
not diverted disaster response funding to the border or foreign aid.

91
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:45,360
He then goes on with the subparens there disaster response

92
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:50,519
efforts and individual assistants are funded through the Disaster Relief Fund,

93
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,439
which is a dedicated fund for yeh disaster efforts. He

94
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:59,959
then goes on with a sub sub FEMA's non disaster

95
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,720
the related presence at the border has always been of

96
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,480
major concern to me, even before Hurricane Helene, and I

97
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,160
will continue to condemn their deployment of personnel to the

98
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,839
southern border, but we must separate the two issues. And

99
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,560
on top of the number five, FEMA is once again

100
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,720
not capital, not going to run out of money, and

101
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:27,480
FEMA officials have repeatedly affirmed that the agency has enough

102
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,319
money for immediate response and recovery needs over the next

103
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,000
few months. Why is this important? Why is this important?

104
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,319
Because this fucking asshole, Chuck Edwards sat there and said

105
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,399
absolutely nothing, not a single word, while Trump before the

106
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:56,879
media was lying about FEMA. It is exactly contradictory. It

107
00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:01,680
is a total contradiction to what Chuck Edwards had written

108
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,439
on his own website. So which one is it? Chuck?

109
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,639
Are you gonna sit there like the impotent asshole that

110
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:12,800
you are and allow this man to spew lies or

111
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,560
are you gonna stand up for truth? We're fourteen days

112
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,600
out again from the most consequential, consequential election in the

113
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:27,319
history of our country, and you're gonna sit there impotent

114
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:33,399
like an asshole and say absolutely nothing. Shame on you. Then,

115
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,399
then Trump has asked about FEMA workers being threatened again

116
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,160
alive play this clipsident.

117
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,079
Speaker 6: Trump a Mark Gunman for the rest of the charge

118
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:49,160
of making threats against FEMA workers.

119
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 7: On Saturdays ago, FEMA had a safety.

120
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:54,759
Speaker 1: Stand down because of continue incredible threats.

121
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 6: Isn't helping the recovery after the North Carolina to take

122
00:07:58,079 --> 00:07:58,759
who he's playing?

123
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:01,279
Speaker 3: But THEMA is not doing job well. I think you

124
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,079
have to let people know how they're doing.

125
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,959
Speaker 4: If they were doing a great job, I think we

126
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:07,519
should say that too, because I think they should be rewarded.

127
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,959
But if they're not doing does that mean that if

128
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,439
they're doing a poor job, we're supposed to not say it?

129
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,839
These people are entitled to say it, and these are

130
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:17,319
honest people behind us. If FEMA were doing well, they

131
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,160
would be saying they did a good job. They're not,

132
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,800
for the most part, political people. For the most part,

133
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,800
they're not political people. But you've obviously seen nothing, but

134
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:30,439
you know, very bad statements coming out about the job

135
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,240
that FEMA and this administration has done having to do

136
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,399
with this area North Carolina as a whole, and by

137
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:39,120
the way, other states also they're also complaining.

138
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,279
Speaker 3: But look, a lot of the money is gone. They

139
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:41,960
don't have any money.

140
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: They have they have to have a meeting in Washington,

141
00:08:44,759 --> 00:08:47,279
a special meeting in Washington to get money.

142
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,759
Speaker 3: It's all done. They've spent it on illegal migrants.

143
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:55,519
Speaker 4: Many of them are murderers, many of them are drug dealers,

144
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:59,279
many of them come out of mental institutions and insane asylums,

145
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,399
and any of them are terrorists. And they spend money

146
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,600
to bring these people into our country, and they don't

147
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:08,759
have money to take care of the people from North

148
00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:10,399
Carolina and other states.

149
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: So, you know, I think you have to be able

150
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
to speak. Does that mean let's talk about.

151
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,759
Speaker 4: It, because by doing that they'll do a better job

152
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,399
the next time.

153
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 3: It's very important. Yeah, one more question.

154
00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, once again, race baiting, gaslighting, xenophobia, holy crap. And

155
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,279
again Chuck Edwards just stands there, says nothing while he

156
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,240
knows that the man is lying. Look a lot of

157
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,559
times you'll see I get really passionate with this. Why

158
00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:46,360
because again, our democracy is hanging on a thread from

159
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,399
a guy who's like, by the way, did you notice

160
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,960
the gigantic pile of scrap that was sitting behind Trump's

161
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,559
shoulder camera?

162
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:55,879
Speaker 3: Right?

163
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I'm sure that the hurricane nicely, nicely piled

164
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:03,879
up all of the scrap metal into that one big,

165
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,960
gigantic ball, right, could you imagine? Sure, that's what it did.

166
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,159
It didn't scatter it everywhere, It put it in nice

167
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:13,000
piles so that it could be moved. And so on.

168
00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,440
What is he talking about? He thinks that he can

169
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,399
do everything in twenty four hours. This guy can't wash

170
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,679
his own fucking ass in twenty four hours. It's a joke.

171
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,600
It's a joke in the fact that nobody turned around

172
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,919
when he turned when Donald turned around and said, you

173
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,960
know a lot of other states are complaining, or this

174
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,360
organization is saying that this. Why not ask him, mister Trump,

175
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,840
what organization are you referring to? And who are the people?

176
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,600
And which states are you referring to? When you turn

177
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:44,200
around and you say that they are complaining that they're

178
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,080
not getting assistance from FEMA, can you identify who these

179
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,720
people are? And I promise you that would shut him up.

180
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:57,120
He will not tell you because he's making it up. Now. Lastly,

181
00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:02,399
here's what Don Junior had to say about the threat

182
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,919
and the threats to the FEMA workers. Play that clip.

183
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 7: Do those messages help the disaster recovery effort? I think

184
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,279
they do.

185
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 6: Donald Trump Junior doubled down on his dad's repeated false

186
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,559
claims about disaster recovery in North Carolina, including claims there

187
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,639
isn't federal aid at all and that Democratic Governor Roy

188
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,559
Cooper was only sending help to Democratic voters.

189
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: While it may come off as aggressive to.

190
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,399
Speaker 6: Some, I get that.

191
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: I think it's totally required.

192
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,639
Speaker 7: So today, some FEMA staff has been ordered to stay

193
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,960
at their hotels because of a credible safety threat from

194
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,679
our militias against FEMA. The FEMA staff that are on

195
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,919
the ground in the mountains. Do we need to tone

196
00:11:42,919 --> 00:11:44,159
the rhetoric down a little bit?

197
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't seen that unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Daddy

198
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,720
lies and the kid swears to it. He has no

199
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,000
idea what he's talking about. Great, you throw on a

200
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:58,159
baseball cap, you throw on a vest, and so on

201
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,559
an off you go. And the damage that they are

202
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:07,320
creating is boundless and they don't care. You See, this

203
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,000
isn't an election about doing anything for the people, not

204
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,639
the people who are damaged or injured as a result

205
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,120
of Hurricane Helene or any of the other natural disasters

206
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,759
that the country deals with. Now, this is all about

207
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:25,360
their election, about making sure that Donald never is held

208
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:29,639
to accountability ever, that he wins the election so that

209
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,320
the family can continue to grift off of this election.

210
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:36,639
And so, my friends, I'm going to end this as

211
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:39,879
I do all by saying we're fourteen days out. Make

212
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,840
sure you go immediately to vote dot org. If you

213
00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:46,240
