1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,799 Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show. On our journey, 2 00:00:02,839 --> 00:00:06,559 our continued journey to two hundred and fifty thousand subscribers. 3 00:00:06,679 --> 00:00:09,400 There's no need to unsubscribe. In fact, you should be 4 00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:13,439 subscribing and sharing this because we're building a community that 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,839 we're going to need starting January twentieth of twenty twenty five. 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,160 And I say that because right in the days after 7 00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:24,519 the election, with the days that after the election was decided, 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,800 Trump was actually fairly quiet on social media. Many of 9 00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:33,719 us turned around and said, Wow, can't believe it. Maybe 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,200 maybe he's turning over a different leaf. But now now 11 00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:41,359 in the last couple of days, he's gone back to 12 00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:46,960 his usual ways. In fact, he's reposted a fake picture 13 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:52,759 of him surfing. Surfing we kicked some ass this weekend 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,280 a mean about him winning the presidency. In our lifetime, 15 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880 politicians will come and go, but there will never be 16 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,079 another president like Donald J. Trump. And then he goes 17 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,840 ahead and he posts the cover of the New York 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,480 Post Life of the Party. How Trump won more young people, 19 00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:20,400 more black and Hispanic men, and forged a new Republican coalition. Now, 20 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,000 let's look at it. So, first of all, I think 21 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,159 the first thing, we have to ask ourselves why why? 22 00:01:26,439 --> 00:01:30,760 First of all, why show yourself surfing? Why turn around 23 00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:34,120 show yourself? You know, winning the president we all know, 24 00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:38,400 we all know the whole country was tuned in. I'm 25 00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:42,439 not really sure I understand the purpose other than, of course, gloating. 26 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,159 So now I want us to look at a series 27 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,959 of his posts, which again I can't understand the reason. 28 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,920 I can't understand it, which still have his usual rantings. 29 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,680 So first he goes on and he thanks everyone for winning. 30 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,040 But before I read it, please note that he goes 31 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:07,519 on to say that he won the popular vote by 32 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,919 seven million. Now as of this recording, according to the 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,719 Associated Press. Right now, my understanding is that he's ahead 34 00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:22,360 by three point five million. Before I start to read it, 35 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,520 I really just want to draw your attention to this. 36 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,560 Who gives a shit? If you win by one vote, 37 00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:31,879 by three and a half million, by seven million, or 38 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,280 seventeen million, you still won. That's the whole issue here. 39 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,879 Put it up. Thank you God won all swing states 40 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,759 and the popular vote by almost seven million. Voters got 41 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,520 three hundred and twelve electoral votes, and in the great 42 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,360 state of Texas won thirty one of thirty two statewide 43 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,080 judicial benches, and every county in the Rio Grand Valley. 44 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:03,400 They were all blue years ago and got one million 45 00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:09,960 more Texas votes than in twenty twenty. Now again, I'm 46 00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:13,719 just trying to understand, you know, think about it this way. 47 00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:17,520 Think about if, like when the New York Yankees lost 48 00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:23,479 to the Dodgers. Could you just imagine if they start 49 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,759 posting all of the various different New York Post articles 50 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,280 or claiming that you know, their pitchers pitched you know, 51 00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:37,280 two hundred and thirteen pitches, of which one hundred of 52 00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:42,120 them were balls and one thirteen were strikes. In the hours, 53 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:45,639 we had two hundred and pitches and one hundred and 54 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,280 fifty with strikes versus p I mean, at the end 55 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:51,120 of the day, who gives a shit. It doesn't matter, 56 00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:54,400 what's the point that you're trying to make. It just 57 00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:59,680 doesn't make any sense. So after going ahead and thanking 58 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,240 every and so on, he decides that he's going to 59 00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:07,840 go after many of his political enemies. And here are 60 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,639 his comments, for example on Nicki Haley. I will not 61 00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:17,720 be inviting former Ambassador Nicki Haley or former Secretary of 62 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,920 State Mike Pompeo to join the Trump administration, which is 63 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,519 currently information. I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with 64 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,160 them previously and would like to thank them for their 65 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:35,839 service to our country make America great again. Why specifically 66 00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:40,279 call out NICKI Haley and Mike Pompeo because he wasn't 67 00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:44,079 certain that they would sign the loyalty pledge that he wants? 68 00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:46,920 Is that the issue that he's only going to fill 69 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,360 the cabinet positions, as he's recently said, with loyalists and 70 00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:55,160 folks that will do anything and everything that he says 71 00:04:56,199 --> 00:05:00,639 very dangerous. It's very very dangerous. Then Liz Chain, he 72 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,879 decides to post about the Democrats made a big, capital, 73 00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:10,639 big mistake in getting crazy Liz Cheney and her father 74 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,800 Dick involved in their campaign for president. It made the 75 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,879 Republicans angry and the Democrats just playing scratching their heads 76 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,879 in amazement. It is always a bad idea to bring 77 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:30,600 in quote losers into a political campaign. Again, again, this 78 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:37,040 is not presidential. This is not how you unite the country. 79 00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:41,680 After God knows how long of this divisive, chaotic rhetoric, 80 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,920 for what reason, for what reason, He's bigger than that, 81 00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,360 he should be bigger than that, he's better than that. 82 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,600 He should be better than that. Instead this, I got 83 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,720 to beat the shit out of you again and again 84 00:05:54,759 --> 00:06:00,519 and again. You won take it and be gracious about 85 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:04,399 the win, and be the president for all Americans, not 86 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,079 just the people who you like, not just for the 87 00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:12,000 people who voted for you. That's not our system. Then, 88 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:17,199 of course, bring in Gavin Newsom. Show that one. Governor 89 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,759 Gavin Neussom is trying to kill our nation's beautiful California. 90 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,759 For the first time ever, more people are leaving than 91 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:28,199 are coming in. He is using the term trump proof 92 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,480 as a way of stopping all of the great things 93 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,399 that can be done to make California great again. But 94 00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:39,839 I just overwhelmingly won the election. People are being forced 95 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,399 to leave due to his and others insane policy decisions, 96 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:48,120 like the ridiculously re routing of millions of gallons of 97 00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:51,879 water a day from the North out into the Pacific 98 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,240 Ocean rather than using it free of charge for the 99 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,879 town's cities and farms dotted all throughout California. They are 100 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,000 making it impossible to build a reasonably priced car, the 101 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,360 unchecked and unbalanced homeless catastrophe, and the cost of everything, 102 00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:13,399 in particular groceries, is out of control. Also, as an 103 00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:17,079 agent for the United States of America on voting and elections, 104 00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:20,040 I will be demanding that voter ID and proof of 105 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:27,920 citizenship are a necessary part and component of the voting process. Again, 106 00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:32,079 we're just sitting here and we're trying to figure out, Hey, 107 00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:37,160 why why, Because what he's looking to do here is 108 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:40,959 to actually change maybe in four years, maybe in two 109 00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:43,800 years during the midterms, he's going to try to change 110 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,560 and turn California read no problem. But really, at this 111 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:53,920 juncture in time, if in fact what you say is accurate, 112 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,800 people will end up looking for an alternative without at 113 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,160 this point in time attacking Gavin News, which you're only 114 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,519 doing right now because he was so vocal anti Trump 115 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,720 over the course of the last you know, eight nine 116 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,639 months when Biden was running, and then of course the 117 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:20,319 last three as Kamala was running. Now, next Trump decides 118 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,079 to speak about democratic funding. Not even sure where he's 119 00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:28,079 going with this one, but he says, I'm very surprised 120 00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,399 that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight 121 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,320 in the twenty twenty presidential election, raising a record amount 122 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,679 of money, didn't have lots of money left over. Now 123 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,000 they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we 124 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,480 can do to help them during this difficult period. I 125 00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:47,559 would strongly recommend we, as a party and for the 126 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,000 sake of desperately needed unity, do we have a lot 127 00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:55,399 of money left over in that our biggest asset in 128 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,559 the campaign was earned media and that doesn't cost very much. 129 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,840 Make America great again? Okay, if you really do intend 130 00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:10,799 on helping the Democratic Party to pay off its bills. 131 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,039 First of all, I'm not really sure what they're talking about. 132 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,840 I do know from reports that there were certain vendors 133 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,360 that were claiming the Trunk campaign didn't pay. But if 134 00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:25,240 in fact the Democratic that number one that would be 135 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,799 relatively new to me had not heard that. But if 136 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,600 the Republican Party is planning on chipping in in order 137 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,200 to fund the Democratic Party, it just seems somewhat odd, right, 138 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,559 I mean, it just doesn't seem very trumpy. And now 139 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,240 here are his thoughts about recess appointments as they will 140 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:52,919 be taking place. Put that up. Any Republican senator seeking 141 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,200 the coveted leadership position in the United States Senate must 142 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,320 agree to recess appointments in the Senate, without which we 143 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,960 will not be able to get people confirmed in a 144 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,840 timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years or more. 145 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,240 This is what they did four years ago, and we 146 00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:16,120 cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled immediately. Additionally, 147 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,159 no judges should be approved during this period of time 148 00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:22,279 because the Democrats are looking to ram through their judges 149 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,080 as the Republicans fight over leadership. This is not acceptable, 150 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,320 thank you. I want to be very clear about something. 151 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,440 It's something that Trump did. Trump did this, so again, 152 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,360 there's the way that works for him, there's a way 153 00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:42,720 that works for Democrats, and the rest of us are 154 00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:46,559 sort of just sitting here and shaking our heads and saying, well, 155 00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:49,279 which way is it going to be a big concern 156 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,120 that Trump is talking about here is the potential stepping 157 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,600 down by Soda bayor right Justice Soda Mayo of the 158 00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:02,320 Supreme Court, where Biden would put or nominate somebody to 159 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,519 put through. Trump doesn't want that. If Sodomyo steps down 160 00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:11,720 for whatever the reason might be, of course, that would 161 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,320 be another That would be one man having the ability 162 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:21,879 to nominate four Supreme Court justices again, never ever, ever 163 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,080 having occurred in this country. And of course, lastly, in 164 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,159 the middle of his political discourse. Trump decides to put 165 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,120 in some comments about the group about the NFL. All right, 166 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,039 the NFL should get rid of the ridiculous new kickoff rule, 167 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,120 all right. Listen. What I think maybe he should do 168 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,519 is he should do an executive order on that too. 169 00:11:47,759 --> 00:11:49,639 Not really sure where that came from, but I do 170 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,039 want to say this, Donald Trump happens to be a 171 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,879 fan of football. He's actually a fan of all sports, 172 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,879 specifically golf, but he's a major fan of basketball, but 173 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,799 more so even football. He's actually quite knowledgeable. I'm just 174 00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:10,399 not sure at this juncture in time why that's even 175 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,759 something that's on his mind. But it's on his mind, 176 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,960 and so he posted. I'd rather him be posting stuff 177 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:20,279 like that than the attacks on Gavin Newsom and Nikki 178 00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:25,440 Haley and Mike Pompeo and some of these other stuff, 179 00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:29,000 you know, the recess appointments. Listen, I could understand, you know, 180 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:35,480 his anger towards what could possibly cause his administration to 181 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,480 not come in as quickly as possible. First of I'm 182 00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:42,399 not even sure if they have all the positions already 183 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,159 filled with different people. I know that there's a big 184 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,720 scramble going on very similar to what happened in twenty sixteen.
