Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our continue
journey to five hundred thousand subscribers. So do me a favor,
hit subscribe, watch all right, share with all of your
friends and comment simply because we're living in a time
of chaos, and it doesn't stop at night, it doesn't
stop in the morning. It's all twenty four to seven.
Let's talk about last night. After an eventful weekend, Trump
decided to speak to reporters outside of joint based Andrews
and after starting the trade war, he admitted. Trump actually
admitted that Americans are going to feel a bit of
short term pain. Now. Remember one of the things he
had said during the campaign is that he was going
to make America so financially strong and so financially independent
that we're not going to need anything and you're not
even going to have to file taxes because there's going
to be so much money pouring in the clip.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not gonna sent.
Speaker 3: We may have short term, some little pain, and people
understand that, but long term, the United States has been
ripped off by virtually every country in the world. We
have deficits with almost every country, not every country, but
almost and We're gonna change it.
Speaker 2: It's been unfair.
Speaker 3: That's why we owe thirty six trillion dollars. We have
deficits with everybody.
Speaker 2: We help everybody.
Speaker 3: We've been helping everybody for years, and to be honest,
I don't think they appreciate it.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna change that. We're gonna change it fast.
We're gonna make America great again. We have to focus
on our country.
Speaker 3: We have tremendous potential if properly used, and we have
to focus on our country. Tremendous deficits with China, tremendous
deficits with the European Union, tremendous deficits with Mexico and Canada.
Speaker 1: And okay, let me be very clear. When he makes
the aster a license statements about oh, you know, we'll understand,
people won't understand. You know, like the folks out there
on the days during the inauguration, most people are living
paycheck to paycheck. So more pain just means less food.
It means less ability to put gasoline in your car.
And those were the two things that Donald Trump managed
to secure a presidential win on gasoline and groceries. So
who's he speaking for? Yeah, elon Musk doesn't give a
shit if the price goes up. Neither does Zuckerberg or
any of the other make a billionaires that was sitting there,
Jeff dizos, they don't care if the price of your
eggs goes up by another fifty cents an egg. They
don't care. But he talks about the silent majority, about
how the American people will understand. No, they won't, and
this is the time that we all need as a
community to get together and hold him accountable for his
campaign promises.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Trump also spoke about the UK as well as the EU.
Play the clip.
Speaker 3: So the UK is way out of line, and we'll
say the UK, but European Union is really out of line.
Speaker 2: The UK is out of line, but I'm sure that one.
I think that one can be worked out.
Speaker 3: But the European Union is it's an acrossity what they've done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, I'm not even sure what he's truly talking
about that he's gonna get everybody else? Is he planning
on using military might of the United States within which
to force everyone to capitulate to something that most people
aren't even familiar as to what he's even talking about.
Then he specifically calls out the UK Prime Minister Starmer.
I don't get this one. Play the clip.
Speaker 2: What they've done the relations in the meaning well, Prime
ministerist arm has been very nice.
Speaker 3: We've had a couple of meetings, We've had.
Speaker 2: Numerous phone calls.
Speaker 3: We're getting along very well, and we'll see whether or
not we can balance out of our budget with the
European Union.
Speaker 2: It's a three.
Speaker 3: Hundred and fifty billion dollar deficit, so obviously something's going.
Speaker 2: To take place there.
Speaker 1: Again, there's so much generalities that are being thrown out there.
He's speaking to him with friends, but I'm not sure
we're gonna see what's gonna happen. Yeah, this is all great.
You know what this does. This gives you and me
and everybody else that's watching this anxiety. Anxiety. How about
put out a policy so that we understand what the
hell is going on? That's the goal, that's the job
of the president. Trumpthing goes ahead and he starts talking
about South Africa. Play that clip.
Speaker 2: So you said that you were going to cut it
from South Africa. What you plan to eight other African nations?
And why only South Africa?
Speaker 3: Terrible things are happening in South Africa.
Speaker 2: The leadership is doing some terrible things. It's horrible things.
So that's under investigation. Right now, we'll make a determination.
Speaker 3: And until such time as we find out what South
Africa is doing. They're taking away land, they're confiscating land,
and actually they're doing things that are perhaps far worse
than that.
Speaker 1: And on the back again, if coming after that specific statement,
you have any idea what's actually really going on, it's
under investigation. We already know, but we're looking into it.
It's being investigated. This is what we're hearing. Well, just
because you hear something, also known as a rumor, doesn't
make it factually accurate. And then Trump goes on he's
asked about USAID, the United States Agents for International Development
as Elon Musk and Trump turn around and say that
they're shutting it down. Understand, US eight has been around
a long time. Again, it's the United States Agency for
International Development. And it is important not to Elon Musk,
not to Trump, they're shutting it down. Play that clip.
Speaker 2: Here, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Well, it's been run by a bunch of radical lunatics,
and we're getting them out. Us AID run by radical lunatics,
and we're getting them out, and then we'll make a decision.
Speaker 1: Radical lunatics. And once again, wouldn't it be nice if
we had half a clue who he's talking about. By
the way, I don't want radical lunatics running international development either,
I'm sure you don't. How about turning on and talk
about who are the radical lunatics? Everything is so general,
every statement is so general, you become more confused, which
is why everybody is tied. They're tied to whether it's
their news channel, their favorite news channel, or the newspapers
or whatever form that you get your information from, and
you can't stop looking at it because every second something
new and something more insane is popping up. I mean,
of course Trump then has to bring up let's talk
about another crazy thing, the Panama Canal. Play the clip.
Speaker 4: They violated the agreement. They're not allowed to violate the agreement.
Speaker 3: China's running the Panama Canal.
Speaker 4: I was not given to China. That was given to
Panama woolishly. But they violated the agreement, and we're gonna
take it back or something very powerful is going.
Speaker 1: To happen again. They violated the agreement. Now he's saying
China is running the Panama Canal. I don't know the folks.
The president of Panama turned around and said, it's not true.
So what is the violation? By the way, if China
is running the Panama Canal, Yeah, you go, Donald, I'm
fucking right behind you, and so probably all of you.
If China is controlling the Panama Canal that we built
and gave to Panama as part of an agreement, absolutely,
but how about enlighten us share with us. But we're
not gonna get that. We're just gonna get generalities and
something even worse is gonna happen. Okay. Trump's then asked
if Elon musk is doing a good job two weeks in,
is Elon doing a good job? Play the clip?
Speaker 2: You feel that Elon Kond is delivering on his promise?
Speaker 1: Here?
Speaker 2: You feel doing a good job right now? I do.
Speaker 3: I think Elon's doing a good He's a big cost cutter.
Sometimes we won't agree with it, it will not go
where he wants to go. But I think he's doing
a great job. He's a smart guy, very smart, and
he's very much in there cutting our the budget of
our federal government.
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting with each Trump administration there is
someone that insiders, initially like myself, used to call the
Secretary of Everything. During the first administration, it was Jared Kushner,
and we all saw and we see every day how
he has he himself has benefited substantially financially from being
Secretary of Everything. Well, today twenty twenty five, you know
who the new Secretary of Everything is, Elon Musk. All right,
And in regards to Elon Musk, I want to show
you by the way he's pulled down. As of today,
February second, Elon Musk has pulled down over what three
hundred billion and maybe even more. But I want to
show you an article about Elon gaining even more access
to our government. And again it's very similar to what
happened with Kushner. None of them have clearance. So what
does the president do. He gives them the clearance and
they take over more and more of our government. Here's
what it says. The first one says, Treasury Department gives
Elon Musk's team access to federal payment system. Payment system
is essentially a checkbook for the federal government. I mean,
are you fucking kidding me? Seriously? Department has given Elon
Muskin representatives of his Department of Government Efficiency doge the
team access to the vast federal payment system, responsible for
handling trillions of dollars in government expenditures. And that's according
to multiple sources, payment system, which is essentially a checkbook
for the entire federal government, is a closely held operation
run by career officials, with a limited number of people
authorized to access the information, given it containing sensitive information
about hundreds of millions of Americans. It's basically all Americans.
I mean, there's only three hundred and sixty million of us,
and some of them are children. The demand for access
to the payment system reportedly caused such a rift inside
the Treasury Department that the career official who previously oversaw it,
David Lebrick, was placed on administrative leave last week after
he resisted granting Musk in his Government Efficiency Team access
to the database. My friends, it's time for us to
wake the fuck up. All right, let me say it again,
Wake the fuck up, because you're talking about the richest
guy in the world who now has complete and total,
unlimited power, as Kushner did the first time around. And
Kushner's not nearly as devious or nearly as smart as
Elon Musk is. They are operating on Project twenty twenty
five ideology. That's what they're operating on, in order to
destroy our democratic republic. Since when does one guy with
government efficiency and his team now have access to all
of your information, to everyone's information through the checkbook of
the United States of America. Seriously, it's why this community
is so important. So again, subscribe, watch comment I want
