Speaker 1: Well. Tonight, Trump will address the country for his State
of the Union speech, but it's not shaping up to
be the success that he and the party want, as
his poll numbers show that they are tanking, and many
Congress members have already stated that they will boycott the speech.
It is unclear what tonight will actually look like. Now,
let me be clear. Trump did warn people that it
would be a long speech, as he has to mention.
Of course all of the wins play the clip.
Speaker 2: So we have a country that's now doing well. We
have the greatest economy we've ever had, we have the
most activity we've ever had. I'm making a speech tomorrow night,
and you'll be hearing me say that. I mean it's
going to be a long speech because we have so
much to talk about.
Speaker 1: You know, as I write in my sub stack of
today State of the Disunion, I acknowledge that Trump's speech
tonight is going to be long. And why because the
man himself told you that he plans to speak at length,
so believe him. But the real question I think we
need to all be asking ourselves right now, it's not
how long he will talk, it's actually who's he talking to?
So Caroline Levitt. For example, she teased this morning that
Trump may actually announce a few new policies at Tonight's
State of the Union address.
Speaker 3: Play the clip and of everyday Americans who are directly
benefiting from his policies, and making a few new policy
announcements as well to continue tackling the affordability crisis that
Joe Biden created one year ago. And the President will
be talking about the positive metrics we have seen and
moving forward towards making life again more affordable and prosperous
for all Americans.
Speaker 1: Well good, and that's going to be not what you
normally hear at a State of the Union. But nothing
is standard, I guess during this administration. Now, as I
previously mentioned, many Congress members are actually boycotting Trump's speech.
Let me show you what Representative Jim McGovern posted.
Speaker 4: People have asked whether or not I'm going to attend
they stay the Union address. I'd rather stick needles in
my eyeballs. This man is a pathological liar, and I'm
not going to dignify this speech by sitting there after
he tells one lie after another. These are not normal times,
this is not business as usual. But I will be
there to call it as bullshit on social media. So
stay tuned.
Speaker 1: Well as again I write in my sub stack, and
there you have it. There will be two rooms, two audiences,
and two realities. Now we know that whatever Trump announced
it tonight will be obviously misstated, exaggerated. All right, So
what we don't necessarily know is what Trump is going
to say, but hopefully it'll be more organized than this
lay the clip?
Speaker 2: Why would we do this? Well? Can nobody even ask
for like, do you have an identification? Do you have
an ID? It's so crazy. You know the mayor of
New York and he's a very nice person. I met him,
but he's his ideology is not too good. But we're
having a massive snow sum right now, and I've heard
that he's asked people to come out and help shovel
the snow. Okay, so you get a shovel and you
start shoveling, right, what the hell? You're not gonna help
too much, but you can help? And hello, darling, how
will you now a break? Behind you? Look? My friend? Right?
Are you okay? Yes?
Speaker 5: You are you okay?
Speaker 2: Are you okay? Good? Good? Are your eyes okay? I
gave her money to get a rice fixed. A lot
of money to get a rice fixed. That doctor ripped
me off. But that's okay. When do you go, well,
you get them done. It's pretty. It's an operation, but
it's a it's just you know, it's great. Good. Are
you gonna have a twenty twenty vision? You know she's
she's almost blind. Cataracts, she's almost blind and with one
operation that will take a very short period of time.
Hope you have a good doctor.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look again, probably should have been behind closed doors
on that talking about somebody's health and their upcoming surgery.
Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our continued
journey to a million subscribers. Let's get there, hit, subscribe, watch, comment,
and share, because this silliness, this nonsense, it's all got
to stop now again. On a programming note, while Maya
Kolpa and Political Beatdown will no longer be shown on
the Midas Touch Network, those shows they're not going anywhere,
and in fact they are right now available on my
YouTube channel at The Michael Cohen Show or wherever you
listen to podcasts. Now. Look, as we've been talking about
for the past few weeks, Trump's poll numbers, they're not
looking good. And I don't know what the people around
him are telling him, but they are not looking good.
Even Fox, even Fox News can't deny these numbers. Let
me show you what they posted in it. They showed
is Trump focused on the right issues? Sixty eight percent.
This is again, this is based upon seeing them. But
Fox is even reporting sixty eight percent are claiming that
he is focusing on the wrong issues. Now, let me
be clear about something additionally, that the speech that we're
going to hear tonight, it's not about governing. It's about branding.
It's about domint the GOP believing that they are dominating
the Libs of the Democratic Party. It's about drawing a
line literally down the center of the country and daring
the other side to cross it. Tonight. Tonight will not
be a policy seminar. It will not It will be
a rally designed as governance. But here's the uncomfortable truth,
uncomfortable truth that neither party wants to admit. Most Americans
are not impressed with either side, Republican or Democrat. And
that's the point that needs to be called out. Yes,
I understand with the mistakes that the GOP, that this administration,
that Trump is making I get those mistakes. But for
whatever the reason may be, with all of the mistakes
that you see and you hear about on this show,
on other shows, on television, you name it, there's still
a third of this country that absolutely believes that neither
side or for anything to any of us. Now, let
me say this that Trump addressed his dropping polls. He
wanted to explain it. Play the clip, and.
Speaker 2: I had to go through. And I still do fake stories,
fake polls. I mean, I had polls for the election
that showed I was going to get swamped and I
won in a landslide. They were fake polls because polls
are tough. You know, when you get a fake pole,
I get them today. I saw one today that I'm
at forty I'm not at forty percent, much higher than that.
I mean, I'd love to run against anybody. The real
polls say you kill everybody, wouldn't even be close. But
you go through the fake poles, you go through the
fake stories. And I said, you know, it was good
because this is really a much more powerful term than
I would have had if I had run, because it
was just one of the those things there would be
nothing to compare it to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he also took it a step further, because when
you do this, you have to And he said that
he's actually surprised by these numbers, by these low poll numbers,
because he has a ton of silent support.
Speaker 2: Play the clip, come Home and christinom Our people that
have been incredible the job they've done, and they take
nothing but abuse. But you know, they're sort of pretty
hardened to that, I think because they know they're doing
the right thing. It just amazes me that there's not
more support out there. It's just we actually have a
silent support. I think it's silent. I think it's well,
that's how I want. I got probably eighty five million rootuls.
They say seventy eight million, seventy nine million. Take They
cheated at this election too. It was just too big
to rig, too big to rig.
Speaker 1: You know, since we're going to talk polls, I think
it's only fair. According to the latest ABC News, get
a load of this ABC News Washington Post IPSOS poll,
sixty percent of Americans disapprove of how Trump is doing
his job. It's sixty percent. So when he said forty,
at least they gave him that right number, and that
matches where he stood, believe or not as he left
office during the first administration. But here's the sickest part.
According to the poll, nearly two thirds disapprove of how
he's handling inflation, sixty four percent disapprove of his tariffs,
sixty two percent disapprove of his handling of foreign relations,
even on immigration, which was supposed to be his strong suit.
That that disapproval outweighs his approval. But yet again, as
I was saying before, the same poll showed that when
Americans asked who they trust more to handle the country's
main problem, this blew me away. Thirty three percent said Trump,
that's his base, he owns them, He's got them. Thirty
one percent say Democrats in Congress that they don't trust. Right,
thirty one percent only trust Democrats in Congress, and another
thirty one percent will call them the independence, the silent majority,
whatever you want to call them. They say that they
trust neither. So let that sink in for a second. Now, Look,
while we can all hope that Trump is going to
stick to the script tonight and he has some let's say,
coming together speech, you know that the odds of that
are quite low. So I do want to end on
a few clips of some of Trump's better and I'm
saying that sarcastically comments as let's just call it an
appetizer for tonight. You see, last week, after the Supreme
Court's decision on tariffs, Trump said that the justices are
a disgrace to our nation. Play the clip.
Speaker 2: They're so happy be and they're dancing in the streets.
But they won't be dancing for long. That I can
assure you. The Democrats on the court are thrilled, but
they will automatically vote no. They're an automatic now, just
like in Congress. They're an automatic no. They're against anything
that makes America strong, healthy, and great again. They also
are a frankly disgrace to our nation. Those justices, They're
an automatic no. No matter how good a case you have,
it's said no.
Speaker 1: Look, they're going to be sitting front row. And I
promise you, as I wrote my substeck yesterday, the camera
will be panning to them, oh quite often.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Trump also tried to claim that he suffers for this country. Well, sure,
if you say suffering is the billions that's makes it's
becoming president again, stepping into office. I would jest that
that may not actually be accurate. Play that clip, but
we wouldn't be here right now.
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking as we're going through, because we've suffered
through it together. I suffer for the country. I mean,
it's the people I've gotten to know other mothers and fathers,
mostly mothers and fathers, husbands in some cases, wives in
some cases, but mostly mothers and fathers.
Speaker 4: What they have to go through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as does Cash Patel as he flies on our
dime to go hang out with the US Hockey gold winners.
Now look on a final note, I do want to
show you Trump's not sure if he's going to make
it to heaven or not. Play that clip.
Speaker 5: I said, I don't think I'm going to make it
to heaven in front of a massive group of people,
fifty six thousand people, and they were all saying, oh,
what does he mean. I don't think I'm gonna make
it to heaven. I'm doing a great job for a
lot of people, but I.
Speaker 1: Don't think so. I'm just not worthy of heaven.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna make it. And I was having a
good time going. I was having fun. I hope to
make it, but I doubt I will to be honest
with you, A lot of you will. I'm not Sasue,
but I was having fun.
Speaker 1: Look, let me be clear about one thing. He could
have fun. We could have fun. What's gonna happen tonight?
Let me give you my prediction. Republicans are gonna stand
up a nigga and cheer. Democrats will either boycott or
sit there completely silent and stoic. Cable news and a
bunch of independent journalists will dissect every single applause line.
Social media will explode with clips that's designed to inflame.
And tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, we will all wake up
and nothing fundamental will have changed. And that's what worries me.
What worries me is that neither side can any longer
sit in the same room and listen to one another.
And if that's actually what's happening, which we all know
it is, how do things ever get better for us?
