1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,319
Speaker 1: Well. Tonight, Trump will address the country for his State

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:06,200
of the Union speech, but it's not shaping up to

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,439
be the success that he and the party want, as

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,439
his poll numbers show that they are tanking, and many

5
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:16,719
Congress members have already stated that they will boycott the speech.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,640
It is unclear what tonight will actually look like. Now,

7
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:24,480
let me be clear. Trump did warn people that it

8
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:27,679
would be a long speech, as he has to mention.

9
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:31,399
Of course all of the wins play the clip.

10
00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: So we have a country that's now doing well. We

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,159
have the greatest economy we've ever had, we have the

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,280
most activity we've ever had. I'm making a speech tomorrow night,

13
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:43,799
and you'll be hearing me say that. I mean it's

14
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:46,520
going to be a long speech because we have so

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,560
much to talk about.

16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: You know, as I write in my sub stack of

17
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:55,479
today State of the Disunion, I acknowledge that Trump's speech

18
00:00:55,479 --> 00:00:58,320
tonight is going to be long. And why because the

19
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:02,159
man himself told you that he plans to speak at length,

20
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:05,599
so believe him. But the real question I think we

21
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:08,640
need to all be asking ourselves right now, it's not

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,760
how long he will talk, it's actually who's he talking to?

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,280
So Caroline Levitt. For example, she teased this morning that

24
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:22,280
Trump may actually announce a few new policies at Tonight's

25
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:23,879
State of the Union address.

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,799
Speaker 3: Play the clip and of everyday Americans who are directly

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,079
benefiting from his policies, and making a few new policy

28
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:36,200
announcements as well to continue tackling the affordability crisis that

29
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:39,400
Joe Biden created one year ago. And the President will

30
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:42,120
be talking about the positive metrics we have seen and

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,359
moving forward towards making life again more affordable and prosperous

32
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:47,280
for all Americans.

33
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Well good, and that's going to be not what you

34
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:55,079
normally hear at a State of the Union. But nothing

35
00:01:55,159 --> 00:02:01,040
is standard, I guess during this administration. Now, as I

36
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:06,560
previously mentioned, many Congress members are actually boycotting Trump's speech.

37
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:09,719
Let me show you what Representative Jim McGovern posted.

38
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,479
Speaker 4: People have asked whether or not I'm going to attend

39
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,120
they stay the Union address. I'd rather stick needles in

40
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:17,639
my eyeballs. This man is a pathological liar, and I'm

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,479
not going to dignify this speech by sitting there after

42
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,479
he tells one lie after another. These are not normal times,

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,680
this is not business as usual. But I will be

44
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:28,319
there to call it as bullshit on social media. So

45
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,360
stay tuned.

46
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: Well as again I write in my sub stack, and

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,319
there you have it. There will be two rooms, two audiences,

48
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:40,960
and two realities. Now we know that whatever Trump announced

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,479
it tonight will be obviously misstated, exaggerated. All right, So

50
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:51,240
what we don't necessarily know is what Trump is going

51
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:55,960
to say, but hopefully it'll be more organized than this

52
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:57,520
lay the clip?

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,159
Speaker 2: Why would we do this? Well? Can nobody even ask

54
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:04,879
for like, do you have an identification? Do you have

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,439
an ID? It's so crazy. You know the mayor of

56
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,240
New York and he's a very nice person. I met him,

57
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,319
but he's his ideology is not too good. But we're

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,159
having a massive snow sum right now, and I've heard

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,360
that he's asked people to come out and help shovel

60
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,360
the snow. Okay, so you get a shovel and you

61
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,080
start shoveling, right, what the hell? You're not gonna help

62
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,680
too much, but you can help? And hello, darling, how

63
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,800
will you now a break? Behind you? Look? My friend? Right?

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,840
Are you okay? Yes?

65
00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:42,199
Speaker 5: You are you okay?

66
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:51,719
Speaker 2: Are you okay? Good? Good? Are your eyes okay? I

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,960
gave her money to get a rice fixed. A lot

68
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,840
of money to get a rice fixed. That doctor ripped

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:09,240
me off. But that's okay. When do you go, well,

70
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:12,840
you get them done. It's pretty. It's an operation, but

71
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:18,399
it's a it's just you know, it's great. Good. Are

72
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:20,680
you gonna have a twenty twenty vision? You know she's

73
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:25,560
she's almost blind. Cataracts, she's almost blind and with one

74
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,560
operation that will take a very short period of time.

75
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,720
Hope you have a good doctor.

76
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look again, probably should have been behind closed doors

77
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,000
on that talking about somebody's health and their upcoming surgery.

78
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,879
Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our continued

79
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:48,279
journey to a million subscribers. Let's get there, hit, subscribe, watch, comment,

80
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,879
and share, because this silliness, this nonsense, it's all got

81
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:55,639
to stop now again. On a programming note, while Maya

82
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,160
Kolpa and Political Beatdown will no longer be shown on

83
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,279
the Midas Touch Network, those shows they're not going anywhere,

84
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:05,800
and in fact they are right now available on my

85
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,439
YouTube channel at The Michael Cohen Show or wherever you

86
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,000
listen to podcasts. Now. Look, as we've been talking about

87
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,160
for the past few weeks, Trump's poll numbers, they're not

88
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:19,079
looking good. And I don't know what the people around

89
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,319
him are telling him, but they are not looking good.

90
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,360
Even Fox, even Fox News can't deny these numbers. Let

91
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,040
me show you what they posted in it. They showed

92
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,360
is Trump focused on the right issues? Sixty eight percent.

93
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,600
This is again, this is based upon seeing them. But

94
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,879
Fox is even reporting sixty eight percent are claiming that

95
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:49,319
he is focusing on the wrong issues. Now, let me

96
00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:52,720
be clear about something additionally, that the speech that we're

97
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:57,759
going to hear tonight, it's not about governing. It's about branding.

98
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:04,879
It's about domint the GOP believing that they are dominating

99
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:09,639
the Libs of the Democratic Party. It's about drawing a

100
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:13,439
line literally down the center of the country and daring

101
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:18,639
the other side to cross it. Tonight. Tonight will not

102
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,319
be a policy seminar. It will not It will be

103
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,439
a rally designed as governance. But here's the uncomfortable truth,

104
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:33,560
uncomfortable truth that neither party wants to admit. Most Americans

105
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,800
are not impressed with either side, Republican or Democrat. And

106
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,839
that's the point that needs to be called out. Yes,

107
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,439
I understand with the mistakes that the GOP, that this administration,

108
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,160
that Trump is making I get those mistakes. But for

109
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,839
whatever the reason may be, with all of the mistakes

110
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,639
that you see and you hear about on this show,

111
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,920
on other shows, on television, you name it, there's still

112
00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:06,680
a third of this country that absolutely believes that neither

113
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,800
side or for anything to any of us. Now, let

114
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:14,519
me say this that Trump addressed his dropping polls. He

115
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,839
wanted to explain it. Play the clip, and.

116
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: I had to go through. And I still do fake stories,

117
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:23,519
fake polls. I mean, I had polls for the election

118
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:25,959
that showed I was going to get swamped and I

119
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,720
won in a landslide. They were fake polls because polls

120
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,319
are tough. You know, when you get a fake pole,

121
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,519
I get them today. I saw one today that I'm

122
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:39,720
at forty I'm not at forty percent, much higher than that.

123
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:42,519
I mean, I'd love to run against anybody. The real

124
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,240
polls say you kill everybody, wouldn't even be close. But

125
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:48,680
you go through the fake poles, you go through the

126
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,439
fake stories. And I said, you know, it was good

127
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,319
because this is really a much more powerful term than

128
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:58,319
I would have had if I had run, because it

129
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:01,000
was just one of the those things there would be

130
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,199
nothing to compare it to.

131
00:08:02,959 --> 00:08:06,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, he also took it a step further, because when

132
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:09,759
you do this, you have to And he said that

133
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,959
he's actually surprised by these numbers, by these low poll numbers,

134
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,720
because he has a ton of silent support.

135
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:24,279
Speaker 2: Play the clip, come Home and christinom Our people that

136
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,240
have been incredible the job they've done, and they take

137
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:31,199
nothing but abuse. But you know, they're sort of pretty

138
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,759
hardened to that, I think because they know they're doing

139
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:38,679
the right thing. It just amazes me that there's not

140
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,639
more support out there. It's just we actually have a

141
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,960
silent support. I think it's silent. I think it's well,

142
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,559
that's how I want. I got probably eighty five million rootuls.

143
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,000
They say seventy eight million, seventy nine million. Take They

144
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,080
cheated at this election too. It was just too big

145
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,240
to rig, too big to rig.

146
00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:59,799
Speaker 1: You know, since we're going to talk polls, I think

147
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,279
it's only fair. According to the latest ABC News, get

148
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,240
a load of this ABC News Washington Post IPSOS poll,

149
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,320
sixty percent of Americans disapprove of how Trump is doing

150
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,399
his job. It's sixty percent. So when he said forty,

151
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,960
at least they gave him that right number, and that

152
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:21,240
matches where he stood, believe or not as he left

153
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:25,120
office during the first administration. But here's the sickest part.

154
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,759
According to the poll, nearly two thirds disapprove of how

155
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:34,600
he's handling inflation, sixty four percent disapprove of his tariffs,

156
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,799
sixty two percent disapprove of his handling of foreign relations,

157
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,080
even on immigration, which was supposed to be his strong suit.

158
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:50,600
That that disapproval outweighs his approval. But yet again, as

159
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:53,480
I was saying before, the same poll showed that when

160
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:56,960
Americans asked who they trust more to handle the country's

161
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,440
main problem, this blew me away. Thirty three percent said Trump,

162
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,279
that's his base, he owns them, He's got them. Thirty

163
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,600
one percent say Democrats in Congress that they don't trust. Right,

164
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,480
thirty one percent only trust Democrats in Congress, and another

165
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,279
thirty one percent will call them the independence, the silent majority,

166
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:19,240
whatever you want to call them. They say that they

167
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,200
trust neither. So let that sink in for a second. Now, Look,

168
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:26,600
while we can all hope that Trump is going to

169
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,840
stick to the script tonight and he has some let's say,

170
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,559
coming together speech, you know that the odds of that

171
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,559
are quite low. So I do want to end on

172
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:42,080
a few clips of some of Trump's better and I'm

173
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,960
saying that sarcastically comments as let's just call it an

174
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:50,600
appetizer for tonight. You see, last week, after the Supreme

175
00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:55,120
Court's decision on tariffs, Trump said that the justices are

176
00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:58,960
a disgrace to our nation. Play the clip.

177
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: They're so happy be and they're dancing in the streets.

178
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:06,240
But they won't be dancing for long. That I can

179
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:12,440
assure you. The Democrats on the court are thrilled, but

180
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,399
they will automatically vote no. They're an automatic now, just

181
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,720
like in Congress. They're an automatic no. They're against anything

182
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:25,360
that makes America strong, healthy, and great again. They also

183
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:31,399
are a frankly disgrace to our nation. Those justices, They're

184
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:33,399
an automatic no. No matter how good a case you have,

185
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:34,159
it's said no.

186
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: Look, they're going to be sitting front row. And I

187
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:43,759
promise you, as I wrote my substeck yesterday, the camera

188
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,159
will be panning to them, oh quite often.

189
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: Now.

190
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: Trump also tried to claim that he suffers for this country. Well, sure,

191
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,120
if you say suffering is the billions that's makes it's

192
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,000
becoming president again, stepping into office. I would jest that

193
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,120
that may not actually be accurate. Play that clip, but

194
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,279
we wouldn't be here right now.

195
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking as we're going through, because we've suffered

196
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,799
through it together. I suffer for the country. I mean,

197
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,960
it's the people I've gotten to know other mothers and fathers,

198
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,240
mostly mothers and fathers, husbands in some cases, wives in

199
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:25,639
some cases, but mostly mothers and fathers.

200
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 4: What they have to go through.

201
00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, as does Cash Patel as he flies on our

202
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:37,799
dime to go hang out with the US Hockey gold winners.

203
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,440
Now look on a final note, I do want to

204
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,440
show you Trump's not sure if he's going to make

205
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,279
it to heaven or not. Play that clip.

206
00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 5: I said, I don't think I'm going to make it

207
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:50,120
to heaven in front of a massive group of people,

208
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:53,480
fifty six thousand people, and they were all saying, oh,

209
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,799
what does he mean. I don't think I'm gonna make

210
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,600
it to heaven. I'm doing a great job for a

211
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,600
lot of people, but I.

212
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: Don't think so. I'm just not worthy of heaven.

213
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna make it. And I was having a

214
00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:09,559
good time going. I was having fun. I hope to

215
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:13,879
make it, but I doubt I will to be honest

216
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:17,919
with you, A lot of you will. I'm not Sasue,

217
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,159
but I was having fun.

218
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: Look, let me be clear about one thing. He could

219
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,799
have fun. We could have fun. What's gonna happen tonight?

220
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,919
Let me give you my prediction. Republicans are gonna stand

221
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,080
up a nigga and cheer. Democrats will either boycott or

222
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:42,600
sit there completely silent and stoic. Cable news and a

223
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:48,080
bunch of independent journalists will dissect every single applause line.

224
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:52,600
Social media will explode with clips that's designed to inflame.

225
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,440
And tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, we will all wake up

226
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,759
and nothing fundamental will have changed. And that's what worries me.

227
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,960
What worries me is that neither side can any longer

228
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:08,759
sit in the same room and listen to one another.

229
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:12,600
And if that's actually what's happening, which we all know

230
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,679
it is, how do things ever get better for us?

231
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,080
