1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,319 Speaker 1: And welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our 2 00:00:02,359 --> 00:00:05,559 continued journey to half a million subscribers. So do me 3 00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:09,320 a favor because we're getting there. Hit subscribe, watch comment, 4 00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:12,000 keep those comments coming, and share with your friends and 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,079 family because the stupidity, the nonsense, the chaos, it's not 6 00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:21,800 going away. Think about this. Satellite images, Yeah, satellite images 7 00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:26,480 is suggesting that Russia is planning to restart nuclear power 8 00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:33,039 plants in occupied southeastern Ukraine. Obviously this is very dangerous. Now, 9 00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:37,479 remember in October of twenty twenty three, Russia expressed its 10 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,600 desire to restart the nuclear plant, and it looks like 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,119 they're actually in the process of making that happen. Russia 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,079 looks to restart Zorobsha nuclear power plant next year. Russ 13 00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:54,079 Tom's CEO, that's Alexei Likshev, also pointed out there is 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,359 no alternative to the safe use of the plant Moscow. 15 00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:02,000 Russia will look for an out opportunity to render the 16 00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:07,439 Zoprasy nuclear power plant known as ZMPP functional again. In 17 00:01:07,519 --> 00:01:12,359 twenty twenty four, Alexi Likshev, CEO of Russian State Nuclear 18 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,680 power operator RUSTAM, told Russia twenty four television no matter 19 00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:20,680 how hard it is, we have been ensuring the safe 20 00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:25,560 operation of the nuclear facility. I think next year, as 21 00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:29,280 the situation unfolds, we will be looking for an opportunity 22 00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:33,640 to restart this facility, he said. Let me do this. 23 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,959 Let me show you a New York Times article, the 24 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,159 satellite images are suggesting a Russian plan to restart the 25 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,280 sea's Ukrainian nuclear plant. Snaking power lines are part of 26 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:53,359 Moscow's goal to harness the power of Zorobsha's facility, according 27 00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:57,280 to Greenpeace. It further turns around and says Russia is 28 00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:01,560 building power lines and occupied south eastern Ukraine to link 29 00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:05,640 to its own grid, a major nuclear plant it has captured. 30 00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:09,360 According to a new green Peace report, it is the 31 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,680 clearest evidence yet of Moscow's intent to restart and exploit 32 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,240 the offline facility, despite the risks and calls to address 33 00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:24,400 the plant's status in peace talks. The facility, known as 34 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,960 Zerobzia Nuclear Power Plant, was seized by Russia early in 35 00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:33,680 the war, in a move widely condemned by the international community. 36 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,080 Its proximity to frontline fighting has raised fears of a 37 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,080 potential nuclear disaster, and experts have warned against any attempt 38 00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:47,680 to restart the plant under current conditions, they turn around 39 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,439 and they say that. The green Peace report, which was 40 00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:54,520 shared with The New York Times, includes satellite images showing 41 00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:59,280 that since early February, Russia has been building more than 42 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,159 fifteen miles of electricity lines and pylons between the occupied 43 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,120 Ukrainian cities of Maropol and Bridyanst along the coast of 44 00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:13,680 the Azov Sea. The satellite images were verified by the Times. 45 00:03:14,719 --> 00:03:17,599 Now based on the location and direction of the work. 46 00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:21,319 Greenpeace said that the project aimed to link the new 47 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,719 power lines to a large substation near Maripol that was 48 00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:30,240 connected to Zurubsha Nuclear Plant, about one hundred and forty 49 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:34,919 miles farther west. Now look, it would be the first 50 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:39,080 time that a warning nation seized another country's nuclear facility 51 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,199 and then used it for its own energy needs, and 52 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,479 it would go against recent efforts by the Trump administration 53 00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:48,879 to discuss the fate of the plant as part of 54 00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:54,560 possible peace talks. Now look. Back in March, Trump suggested 55 00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:58,800 that the United States should actually take over the Ukrainian plant. 56 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,560 Here's Caroline and Levit's statement this. 57 00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: Effort, and reiterated his willingness to adopt a full ceasefire. 58 00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:10,120 President Trump also discussed Ukraine's electrical supply and nuclear power plants. 59 00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:12,919 He said that the United States could be very helpful 60 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,319 in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise. 61 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,759 American ownership of those plants would be the best protection 62 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,399 for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure. President 63 00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:28,240 Zelenski also thanked President Trump for continuing to push human Yeah. 64 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,319 Speaker 1: Again, the United States getting it. We would literally have 65 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:37,680 demand that place on top of it. It's probably not safe. Meanwhile, 66 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,480 the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, he went on CBS 67 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,879 last month and he was asked about Trump's plans. Play 68 00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:45,839 that clip. 69 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: On the specific things President Trump has said in public. 70 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,079 One of the things he brought up is that the 71 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,000 US could work with Ukraine to operate the largest nuclear 72 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,240 power plant in Europe, which is in an area you know, Zapariza. 73 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,680 Russians control it that area. 74 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: Right now, do. 75 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: You agree with President Trump's public statements that the best 76 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,560 security would be for the US and Ukraine to operate 77 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,120 that together. 78 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 4: No, we never received such an offer, and if we do, 79 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:24,000 we would explain that the power station Zapparosji Power nuclear 80 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,279 power station is run by the Russian Federation state corporation 81 00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:36,040 called Rosatom. It is being under monitoring of the IA 82 00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:42,079 personnel permanently located on the site and if not for 83 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,959 the Ukrainian regular attempts to attack the station and to 84 00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,680 create a nuclear disaster for Europe and for Ukraine as well. 85 00:05:52,639 --> 00:06:01,800 The safety requirements are fully implemented and it is in 86 00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:03,519 very good hens. 87 00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, lies, lies and more lies, but then again, what 88 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,680 would you expect. Seryei Lavrov is as close to Putin 89 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,439 as anybody. Meanwhile, it's up to one's imagination on how 90 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,680 Trump may feel about this nuclear development. And while we 91 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:26,519 know that Trump lies, i mean lies about his relationship 92 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,360 with Putin, he took the shtick a little step further 93 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,800 this past weekend, saying that something must have happened to 94 00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:43,120 Putin because of how crazy he's acting. On Sunday, Trump 95 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,639 went ahead and he posted this rant. In it, he 96 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,319 turns around and he writes, I've always had a very 97 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:54,639 good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has 98 00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:59,240 happened to him. He has gone absolutely crazy. He is 99 00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:02,199 needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just 100 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,639 talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into 101 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,120 cities in Ukraine for no reason whatsoever. I've always said 102 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,600 that he wants all of Ukraine, not just a piece 103 00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:18,120 of it, and maybe that's proving to be right. But 104 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,680 if he does it, it will lead to the downfall 105 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:26,839 of Russia. Likewise, President Zelenski is doing his country no 106 00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:31,279 favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of 107 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,480 his mouth causes problems. I don't like it, and it 108 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,600 better stop. This is a war that would never have 109 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,439 started if I were president. This is Zelenski Putins and 110 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,319 Biden's war, not Trump's. I am only helping to put 111 00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:49,399 out the big and ugly fires that have been started 112 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,319 through gross and competence and hatred. Now, let me be 113 00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:58,120 very clear about something. First and foremost, we all remember, 114 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,600 and I can go on and play you hundreds of 115 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,519 recordings of Trump saying that this would never have happened 116 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,319 if he was president. But if he is re elected, 117 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,000 this will come to an end in twenty four hours. 118 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,279 We've all seen that video time and time and time again. Well, 119 00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,279 we're about one hundred and twenty nine days now, or 120 00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:20,800 one hundred and thirty days into his presidency, and what 121 00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:25,000 do we see. We certainly don't see the stop. We 122 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:31,040 continue to see the unnecessary shelling in Kiev and outskirts, 123 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,879 the death of innocent civilians. What do we see from Trump? Well, again, 124 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,240 it's not my war. It's not my war. It never 125 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,600 would have happened. Well, okay, okay, let's turn around and 126 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:50,440 even acknowledge that. But you're talking the hypothetical. Let's live intoday, 127 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,120 Let's live in the reality. And the reality is it 128 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,720 is happening. But even based on your very first sentence, 129 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,320 you've always had a very good relationship with Putin, but 130 00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:05,879 you don't want Zelensky involved in any of the negotiation. 131 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,960 He never liked Zolensky. He refused to give you dirt 132 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:14,879 on Joe Biden during the campaign. So I understand. Let 133 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,879 Ukraine suffer. Mind you, we're not talking about knocking down 134 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,960 of buildings. We're not even talking about the potential loss 135 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:31,200 of life. We're talking about a nuclear reactor facility. We're 136 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:37,919 talking about potential damage not just to Ukraine and Russia 137 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,200 and Eastern Europe, but to the entire world. We're talking 138 00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:46,080 nuclear and in the hands of Russia. It is yet 139 00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:53,080 just another weapon to use to continue this meritless journey 140 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:57,679 of his to try to reform the former Soviet Union, 141 00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:03,279 to reform the old Russia with himself as the czar. 142 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,480 It's not gonna happen, doesn't mean that the guy doesn't 143 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:11,600 want it to. Meanwhile, Trump kept in character while speaking 144 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,679 to reporters on the tarmac by ranting literally ranting about 145 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,679 not knowing what happened to Putin. Play the clip. Yeah, 146 00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:23,480 I'll give you an update. I'm not happy with. 147 00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 5: What Putin's doing. He's killing a lot of people, and 148 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:28,279 I don't know what the hell happened to Putin. I've 149 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,480 known him a long time, always gotten along with him. 150 00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:35,080 But he's sending rockets into cities and killing people, and 151 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:38,480 I don't like it at all. Okay, we're in the 152 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,279 middle of talking and he's shooting rockets into Kiev and 153 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,840 other cities. I don't like it at all. Right, what 154 00:10:44,879 --> 00:10:47,679 do you want to do about I'm surprised. I'm very surprised. 155 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,639 We'll see what we're gonna do. What am I gonna 156 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,759 tell you? You're the fake news, aren't you? You're totally fake? Right? 157 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,720 Any other questions? I don't like what Putin is doing, 158 00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:59,879 not even a little bit. He's killing people, and something 159 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,480 happened to this guy, and I don't like it. 160 00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be very clear. There's a reason why 161 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,360 Putin is doing what he's doing. First and foremost, he 162 00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:15,120 doesn't care about what you say. He has no respect 163 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,600 for our president because he thinks that Trump is weak. 164 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,039 That's the problem. Oh, I'm not going to share with you. 165 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,159 I'll share with you everything else. In fact, I'll even 166 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,399 share nuclear secrets with a member of Marlago, But I'm 167 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,240 not going to tell you or answer a question from you, 168 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,759 mister fake news. Meanwhile, the reporter kept with the narrative 169 00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:41,600 and asked Trump if he would put sanctions on Russia. 170 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,559 It's like the least thing that Trump should be doing. 171 00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:48,639 Immediately play the clip. I mentionin, you're unhappy with President Putin. 172 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,759 Speaker 2: You've talked before about putting more sanctions on Russia. 173 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,159 Speaker 1: Is that something you're considering more true? 174 00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:57,639 Speaker 5: Absolutely, he's killing a lot of people. I don't know 175 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,559 what's wrong with him. 176 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: What the hell happened to him? 177 00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,039 Speaker 5: Right, He's killing a lot of people. I'm not happy 178 00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:05,080 about that. What else? 179 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: It's called war, a war that Putin started. But maybe 180 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,240 if you read a briefing, maybe if you let somebody 181 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,399 explain it to you, maybe you would understand. This is 182 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,600 who Putin is and he's not going to stop, not 183 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,639 based upon I don't know your threats.
