Speaker 1: So I think it's fair to say that no one
likes to be interrupted during a speaking engagement. And last
night during the people State of the Union, Senator Chris
Murphy he was speaking when a heckler called him a scumbag.
Murphy responded and said, thanks. Now, last night, during Trump's
State of the Union, a few Democrats, well, they started
to heckle him as well. Representative ilhan Omar and Rashida
Talib were of course the loudest, and Trump, well, he
had some choice words for them in response. Let me
show you what he said in it. He wrote, when
you watched low Iq ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib as
they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State
of the Union, such an important and beautiful event. They
had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, lunatics, mentally
deranged and sick, who frankly looked like they should be institutionalized.
When people can behave like that, and knowing that they
are crooked and corrupt politicians, so bad for our country.
We should send them back from where they came as
fast as possible. They can only damage the United States
of America. They can do nothing to help it. They
should actually get on a boat where Trump deranged. Robert
de Niro, another sick and demented person with I believe
in extremely low like you, who has absolutely no idea
what he's doing or saying, some of which is seriously criminal.
When I watched him break down in tears last night,
much like a child would do, I realized that he
may be even sicker than crazy Rosie O'Donnell, who is
right now in Ireland trying to figure out how to
come back into our beautiful United States. The only difference
between de Niro and Rosie is that she is probably
somewhat smarter than him, which isn't saying much. The good
news is that America is now bigger, better, richer, and
stronger than ever before, and it's driving them absolutely crazy.
President Donald J. Trump, There's so much there to unpack,
so much to unpack. I truly don't understand why he
put out that post. I really don't other than he's
just angry. Let it go. That's what I would say
to him if I was still around there. Just let
it go now. Someone posted on Twitter saying that he
has never seen GOP lawmakers act out this way. Let
me show you what they said in it. They wrote,
I've been to sixteen of these. I've never seen Republicans
behave like this during a democratic State of the Union.
Never Yet the mainstream media says nothing. Why this, by
the way, is from Mike Lee. Unbelievable. Really, you've never
seen anything like this before. Okay, now, base Mike Lee,
I want to show you just a few headlines, just
a few depicting the Republicans acting in the same exact way.
I don't like the heckling at all. I've said it
in my earlier one and I'm gonna say it again.
I don't like it at all. I think the whole
thing is stupid. I think it's meaningless to do it.
It's disrespectful and they should respect the other side. But
but important to note Republicans have done it as well.
Let me show you one from twenty twenty two. GOP
representatives Green Bobert heckle Biden throughout the State of the
Union address. Lawmakers booed Bobert when she interrupted Biden as
he was about to speak of his son's death. Let
me turn around and now show you from twenty twenty
four another one whereas says Biden's gop Heckler's vent their
fury over the border and more. This is from the
State of the Union in twenty twenty four. Representatives Marjorie
Taylor Green, Derek Van Orden, and others ed frustration live
during the State of the Union. So let me be clear,
this back and forth thing, this is, this has been
going on a whole lot longer than just last night.
Let me actually even show you a clip of Marjorie
Taylor Green calling Biden a liar during one of his speeches.
Play the clip.
Speaker 2: Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security sunset. I'm not
saying it's a majority.
Speaker 3: Of Let me give you.
Speaker 2: Anybody who dots it, contact my office.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a copy.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a copy of the proposal. How these
concretising vote. I'm glad to see you now.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you I enjoy converse.
Speaker 2: You know what amazing if Congress doesn't keep the programs
the way they are to go away. Other Republicans say,
I'm not saying it's a majority of you.
Speaker 1: You didn't have just one or two people like Ilhan
Omar or Rashida Talib. Basically had the entire Republican party
expressing their anger at something that Biden said, whether it
be true or false, didn't make a difference. I call
that heckling. Now, after Trump complained about Democrats not standing
during his speech, someone else actually put together a compilation
of Republicans refusing to stand up during Joe Biden's speech.
Play the clip.
Speaker 2: No billionaire should pay a lower federal tax rate than
a teacher, a sanitation worker, a nurse. You can't love
your country only when you win. Now, I want a
caprice if the drug costs of two thousand dollars a
year for everyone.
Speaker 1: By the way, who doesn't want lower drug prices. In fact,
if Trump ends up succeeding in that, I will be
the first to come on here and actually congratulate because
my medication it literally costs me a fortune. And Welcome
back to The Michael Cohen Show on our continued journey
to a million subscribers. Can we get there? Please let's
help hit subscribe, watch, comment, and share because this nonsense,
the stupidity, it's got to stop now again. On a
programming note, I do want to remind you that both
maya kulpa and political beatdown they're no longer shown, for example,
on the Midas Touch Network, But those shows, they're not
going anywhere, and they are still available right here on
my YouTube channel, at the Michael Cohen Show or wherever
you listen to podcasts. Now, I want to be clear
about something I have expressed that I don't like when
either side heckles the president during especially the State of
the Union address, But the faux outrage from Republicans while
they act like they have some amnesia about what they
did after Biden, it's unreasonable as well. Ilhan Omar. She
actually told reporters why she chose to heckle Trump last night.
Play the clip.
Speaker 4: CNN reported before that speech that the House Democratic Leader
Hakim Jeffries advised your caucus, the Democratic members, to either
skip the State of the Union address or sit there
in silence. Should you have just boycotted the address? And
do you think you violated the guidelines set out by
your own leader?
Speaker 5: No, I think it was really unavoidable. The President talked
about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him
that his administration was responsible for killing two of my
constituents in Minneapolis.
Speaker 4: Many members of your Democratic party, they criticize their Republican
counterparts when they interrupted President Biden's State of the Union
address as a lot of us, remember, do you have
any regrets at all about the interaction we played between
you and President Trump just last night?
Speaker 5: I do not, and I think many people look at
that moment when the President says it is our responsibility
to protect Americans, and he does not acknowledge the fact
that two Americans, two of my constituents, two of our neighbors,
were killed, and it was important for me to just
remind the American people that the president and his administration
was responsible for killing two American citizens.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But by the way, one of the reasons some
of these members do exactly what they do so that
they end up afterwards on television, which of course they
you who's for fundraising? I mean, I've watched this nonsense
happen again and again. By the way, Hakim Jeffries, who
I don't agree with often I don't, he's actually one
hundred percent correct. If you can't sit there, silence is
stronger than heckling. Just sit there. You don't have to clap,
you don't have to do anything. But it's the heckling
that makes us sort of look like I don't know
the way that it takes place in the UK with
Parliament Now. Representative Aguilar, who by the way, happens to
be the chair of the House Democratic Caucus, he told
reporters that Trump's comments on truth Social are unhinged. Play
the clip.
Speaker 6: You guys were sitting next to each other. I saw
and probably could hear the best in the chamber what
ms to Lead and Miss Omar were yelling at the president.
The President this afternoon has taken the truth Social to
call those congresswomen lunatics and says, quote, we should send
them back from where they came as fast as possible.
Speaker 7: These are US citizens, members of Congress who are dually
who are federally elected office holders. Where they come from
is their districts, and they go back quite a bit
to their districts.
Speaker 8: Those two members are as in touch with the pulse
of their communities as any two members we have in
the chamber. We couldn't hear a lot of what was
said from our seats, But look, I think the frustration
all of us had is where was the vision? Where
was where was someone who could be a uniter, who
could bring people together, not that this president has ever
done that. But you know, hope springs eternal. But we
get what we get, and true to form, he was
who he is and that is divisive, and so I
think our members reacted to that. But our members are
from their districts and their home is in the Democratic Caucus.
That's that's what we know, and we will we will
have their back and we will stand with them because
they continue to bring back the thoughts and reflections of
their districts and their communities.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And by the way, standing directly next to, of course,
some representative aguilar is Hakeem Jeffries, somebody who again I'm
not a major fan of. He turns around and he
tells reporters that the cult like behavior from Trump's side
is worrisome. Let's just say I finally agree with something.
Not Kim Jeffries. Play the clip.
Speaker 9: How does to say the xenophobic rhetoric of Donald Trump?
You know, directed had two members of the House Democratic Caucus,
of course, is sadly not surprising, but it's disgraceful. It's unpresidential, unpatriotic,
and unamerican. But that's Donald Trump and that was on
full display for the American people yesterday. I mean he
did not help his case. He did not help the
case of the Republican Sikophins, who were just standing up
and down like lapdogs. It was embarrassing to see that
he spoke for almost two hours, less than two minutes
on the affordability crisis that the American people are dealing
with right now. But we're going to be spending the
next several days talking about our iron clad commitment to
driving down the high cost of living so we can
make life more affordable for everyday Americans. We believe in
this country, you work hard, you play by the rules,
you should be able to live a comfortable life in
affordable life.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's also one of the reasons why
he ended up defeating us, And I don't think you
should take it lightly, by the way. I think together
we need to put a stop. We need to ensure
that the November midterm elections go our way, and with
the lack of enthusiasm coming out of the Democratic Party,
we got a lot of work to do. It's why
I constantly say it. I want to end on two
clips of examples of this cult like behavior that Jeffries
is referring to first and foremost, you have Representative Jimmy Patronis.
He literally goes on television with his MAGA hat saying
that he was starstruck by Trump's speech. Play the clip.
Speaker 9: Democrat response to all of this, and I wanted to know,
I'm not sure.
Speaker 10: First off, did you watch it? No, I did not
get to watch it, and I'm still kind of starstruck
about what i got to see last night. So did
not get access to television. But I'm sure it's on
social media where I can. I can watch it later
or see the highlights.
Speaker 1: Yeah again, I mean, seriously, there comes a point in time.
There are things that was said that you could agree
with and disagree, but the fact that they agree with
him on twelve out of twelve, as I always say,
according to the very famous words of Ed Mayor Ed Kotch,
you should see a psychiatrist. Then of course this Senator
Tim Scott, he of course goes on Fox that he
will follow Trump regardless, and wherever he goes, play the clip.
The governor has has got behind Derek Dooley.
Speaker 7: Yes, what about the president?
Speaker 3: Wherever President Trump is, I'm going to because that's how
you win. President Trump is the key to us winning
the midterms, and it's the key to us winning in Jude, Josie.
Speaker 1: The Collins or Carter or Dooley.
Speaker 3: Wherever President Trump lays his hand, we are going to
follow because that is our best chance of winning the
seat where he says, yes, we win, you want.
Speaker 1: Or maybe the person who is merit based, the one
who has the best qualifications may not always be who
the President decides the fact that you're willing to rubber stamp.
It goes exactly to the contrary and contradicts what Representative
Patronis and others have been saying. And as always, thanks
for listening. Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching.

about politics. We'll be talking about everything in fact, so
