1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,919
Speaker 1: Trump's humiliating ritual and Davos, well, it just continued this

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,400
morning during his border peace signing ceremony. Now the ceremony,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,240
it was attended by fewer than twenty countries. And here's

4
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:16,559
the crazy part. None of our traditional Western European allies

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,000
were even present. The Caroline Levitt, she claimed that Belgium

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,160
was part of the Peace Council, literally despite their deputy

7
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:29,199
Prime minister telling a very different story. Let me show

8
00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:32,320
you what he said in it. He writes, Belgium has

9
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:35,200
not signed the charter of the Board of Peace. This

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,600
announcement is incorrect. We wish for a comment and coordinated

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,600
European response. As many European countries, we have reservations to

12
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:48,520
the proposal. Well, of course they do. How do you

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,719
turn around and walk away from your allies and invite

14
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:57,079
to the table technically your adversaries. Well, you know what,

15
00:00:57,119 --> 00:00:59,679
it's not certainly not a great start to their new

16
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:03,759
board and his speech was very low energy, but he

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,319
did he did try to claim that there is peace

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,040
in the Middle East. Play that clip.

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: We have peace in the Middle East. Nobody thought that

20
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:14,120
was possible.

21
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: We've settled eight wars and I believe another one's coming

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,719
pretty soon, you know what.

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: That is the one that I thought was going to

24
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:25,359
be an easy one, it's going to out to be

25
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:26,840
probably the most difficult.

26
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:34,599
Speaker 3: Last month, twenty nine thousand people died, mostly soldiers Ukraine Russia.

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,879
Think of that, twenty nine twenty seven thousand in the

28
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,359
month before, twenty six thousand in the month before then.

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: Terrible. But we have meetings that we think we're making

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,760
a lot of progress.

31
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: No, here's what makes no sense at all. I've actually

32
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,640
spoken to people. There is no peace in the Middle East.

33
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,239
In fact, there is fighting. There's still skirmishes going on. Sure,

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,079
sure the massive bombings and the shellings that has come

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,239
to a stop, but the additional attacks that has not.

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,719
Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our continued

37
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:13,360
journey to one million subscribers, and I know that we've

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,280
had some setback, but it doesn't matter because the momentum

39
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:19,639
is on our favor again. So do me a favor,

40
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:23,840
just to let you know, let's just keep subscribing, keep sharing,

41
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,120
keep commenting, because it helps to keep the truth out there. Now,

42
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,280
from a side note, I also want to let you

43
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:33,680
know that while Maya Kulpa and Political Beatdown are no

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,719
longer going to be shown on the Midas Touch Network.

45
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,960
Those shows, including this one, they're not going anywhere and

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,360
they will be on my YouTube channel at the Michael

47
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,439
Cohen Show. So make sure that you subscribe and check

48
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:51,639
it out. Now back to the news, reporters also noticed

49
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,560
once again that Trump's hand had a pretty significant, deep

50
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:59,080
purple bruise. Let me show you what it says in

51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,400
it with the folk there, Trump's left hand, not the

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,080
one that's usually disfigured, now has a large bruise and

53
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:10,319
is discolored. These pictures are from today in Davos and

54
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,800
are via Chip Samadavilla, Getty Imaging and Fabrice Kaffrini from AFP.

55
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,280
That's a pretty deep bruise, probably some sort of an

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,120
infusion maybe, who knows. But then again, when you start

57
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:29,360
taking that and coupling it with the confusion of Iceland

58
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:34,759
and Greenland during the speech, it's actually glaringly different and

59
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:41,800
truly upsetting how mainstream media chooses to talk about. For example,

60
00:03:41,919 --> 00:03:47,199
Trump's mental acuity compared to how they reported on Joe

61
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:54,199
Biden is completely different. Now. AOC made this clear when

62
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,680
talking to reporters. Play the clip but real.

63
00:03:57,639 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: Quick, how big of.

64
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,599
Speaker 1: A factor is Donald Trump's cognitive decline? Given what we're

65
00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:02,479
seeing at Davos.

66
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: I think that the president has been acting in increasingly

67
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:15,280
erratic ways. I think it is really damning when we

68
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:21,160
think about the degree to which mass media outlets reported.

69
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: On Joe Biden.

70
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,399
Speaker 5: And yet, and you know that resulted in the Democratic

71
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:33,240
Party changing is cominy's et cetera. Yet we are seeing

72
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,959
behavior from Donald Trump that is increasingly erratic and alarming.

73
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,399
Speaker 1: And no, it's the exact same behavior in Trump one

74
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:47,639
point zero. And I say it all the time. People

75
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,600
again get mad at me despite the fact it's my truth,

76
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:54,399
it's my firsthand knowledge. It's not a cognitive decline. In

77
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:58,720
the mistakes of Iceland versus Greenland, what happened during his speech?

78
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:01,000
And I can tell you he was talking about how

79
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:05,040
the land is a giant block of ice, and for

80
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,800
whatever reason, he confuses himself and instead of calling it

81
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,240
Greenland despite the fact it's such a huge topic, he

82
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,399
took ice and then the land and he made it Iceland.

83
00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:19,240
The part that we need to do is to acknowledge

84
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,600
was there a cognitive decline with Joe Biden? Is there

85
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:27,639
a cognitive decline in Trump. I don't know the answer

86
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,240
to either.

87
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:28,959
Speaker 2: All.

88
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: I can turn around and say, it's how we respond

89
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,360
that ends up pushing media to do what they do.

90
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:39,800
But now back to Davos. Because Trump claimed yesterday that

91
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,639
he made a deal regarding Greenland, let me tell you

92
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,839
what he wrote in it. He writes, based upon a

93
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:50,879
very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary

94
00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:54,680
General of NATO, Mark Rutt, we have formed the framework

95
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:57,959
of a future deal with respect to Greenland and in

96
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,519
fact the entire Arctic region. This solution, if consummated, will

97
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,319
be a great one for the United States of America

98
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,399
and all NATO nations. Based upon this understanding, I will

99
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:13,319
not be imposing the tariffs that were scheduled to go

100
00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:17,600
into effect on February first. Additional discussions are being held

101
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,000
concerning the Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further

102
00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:27,319
information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD. Van,

103
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,160
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Whitcoffe, and

104
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,399
various others as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations.

105
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:38,800
They will report directly to me. Thank you for your

106
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,560
attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump, President of the

107
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,600
United States of America. Well, let me be crystal clear.

108
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:51,000
We've heard about frameworks before, we haven't seen them. What

109
00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:54,680
happened to the framework with the Affordable Care Act? With healthcare?

110
00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:59,319
What happened to the framework regarding immigration? Well, I don't know,

111
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:04,959
seeing ice, is that really the framework we're looking for? Nevertheless,

112
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000
this morning, Trump spoke with Maria Bartiroma. She asked Trump

113
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,560
about his post play the clip.

114
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 6: What are we talking about an acquisition of Greenland? Are

115
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:15,439
you going to pay for it?

116
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,839
Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about it. It's really being negotiated

117
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,519
now the details of it, but essentially it's total access.

118
00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:26,079
Speaker 2: There's no end, there's no time limit.

119
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,959
Speaker 1: Okay, let me be crystal clear. Sounds very similar to

120
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,439
what we already have now. She also asked if this

121
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:37,600
means that we will fully acquire Greenland play that clip.

122
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,639
Speaker 6: You have talked about this framework, the beginning of a

123
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,000
framework that you've spoken with the NATO secretary back. Can

124
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,800
you tell us anything about that? Does this ultimately mean

125
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:49,399
that the US will ultimately acquire Greenland?

126
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: Well? I don't know if I can say that, but

127
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:54,399
it could be. I mean as possible. Anything's possible. But

128
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:56,560
in the meantime, we're getting everything we wanted.

129
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: Total security, total access to everything, have as many bases,

130
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,639
have all the equipment that we want, and very importantly,

131
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:07,600
you know, we're building the Golden Dome.

132
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:09,759
Speaker 2: We call it. It's called the Iron Dome. Somehow the

133
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Golden domes sounded a little bit better.

134
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: But we have a technology the second ten and you

135
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,839
saw what we did with Israel, then that's our ingenius

136
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:21,279
that did that, and it's amazing. It's just you know,

137
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,879
it's a fool proof and we're going to be building

138
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,920
it and it works much better when we have access

139
00:08:25,959 --> 00:08:29,879
to Queenland, just covers more territory, covers it more accurately,

140
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,159
missiles will be more accurate by having it's very important

141
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:34,879
strategically as a piece.

142
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: And we will have all everything we want. We're getting

143
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,159
everything we want at no cost.

144
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,159
Speaker 1: So what's really interesting here is that they have always

145
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,519
maintained that the United States can have as much of

146
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,240
the land or I should say ice as they want

147
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:58,840
to build military outposts for their security, for hemispheric security.

148
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,240
It's almost like what they refer to as Munchhausen by proxy, right,

149
00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:06,919
burn the house down and then be the guy who

150
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,080
shows up with the fire extinguisher. This makes absolutely no

151
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:13,600
sense in terms of why the fighting. Why not just

152
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:15,720
turn around and say, this is what we're going to do.

153
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:19,080
Why the imposition of tariffs, Why have to affect the

154
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,320
entire world, our allies across the board. Why do we

155
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,080
have to keep them out of it? None of this

156
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,919
strategically makes sense, though I do have to acknowledge that

157
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:32,600
from a military standpoint, if they are referring to this

158
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:36,279
for the protection of America as it relates to this

159
00:09:36,399 --> 00:09:42,080
Golden Dome, this new technology, yeah, it would make sense

160
00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:46,000
because it's right there within which to intercept anything that

161
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:49,799
comes out of China or Russia. So sure, but why

162
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,639
not have just said it that way? Why all of

163
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,480
the hooplow, Why all of the mets and the chaos

164
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,039
and the frustration. That's the part that angers me the

165
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,600
most now, Maria. She further tells Trump that the Danish

166
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:06,879
pension fund they're so pissed about all of this that

167
00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:11,240
they're exiting the US treasuries, and she asked Trump if

168
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,559
he's worried about Danish retaliation.

169
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 6: Play the clip, so what should we expect from the

170
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,919
European countries? I mean they've got this EU anti coercion

171
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,120
instrument that would be you know, services impacting our services.

172
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,279
Speaker 2: As you said.

173
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 6: And then the Danish pension fund said that they're going

174
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,000
to exit US treasuries one hundred million dollars treasuries at

175
00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:35,360
the end of December. European countries hold trillions of stocks

176
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,759
and bonds from the US. Do you worry that they

177
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:39,879
would start selling those in retaliation?

178
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,399
Speaker 2: If they do?

179
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: They do, but you know, if that would happen, there

180
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,639
would be a big retaliation on our part, and we

181
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,679
have all the cards and.

182
00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:52,039
Speaker 1: Wait, so they buy bonds and if they want to

183
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,000
sell it, because let's say they don't feel comfortable anymore

184
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:02,399
in the relationship. Now there's retaliation somehow. Once again it

185
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,039
sounds like a veil threat. But you never know. That's

186
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,759
the whole problem. Now, Trump began. He continued to claim

187
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,720
that we actually don't even need NATO seventy five years

188
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:18,919
in existence now today twenty twenty six, we no longer

189
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,080
need this partnership.

190
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: Play the clip, oh, I think, But I've always said,

191
00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:24,720
will they be there if we haven't needed them?

192
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: And that's really the ultimate test, And I'm not sure

193
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:27,720
of that.

194
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 3: I know that we would have been there, or we

195
00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:33,320
would be there, but will they be there? And let's

196
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,840
hope that that never happens. We've never needed them, We

197
00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:40,240
have never really asked anything of them. You know, they'll

198
00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:42,759
say they sent some troops to Afghanistan or this or that,

199
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,000
and they did.

200
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: They stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.

201
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: But we we've been very good to Europe and to

202
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,519
many other countries. And you know now under my administration

203
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,759
that began because we had a very successful first term.

204
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: That began then. But it has to be a two

205
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,440
way street.

206
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be very clear about something they fought

207
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,279
on the front lines. It's a terrible thing to say

208
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:15,960
to diminish another soldier's commitment to their war effort. Now, Maria,

209
00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:18,759
she also spoke with Howard Lutnik, and she made a

210
00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:23,960
very important point that people are comparing Trump's threats against

211
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:30,200
Greenland to exactly how Putin made the threats and ultimately

212
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,679
invaded Ukraine. Play the clip go both ways.

213
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 6: What would you say if one of our allies said, look,

214
00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:37,799
we're going to go in and take over another country

215
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,039
even though the country said we're not interested. I mean,

216
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,320
we talk all day and every day about evil action

217
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,960
from Putin going into Ukraine. I mean, people are looking

218
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,039
at this and saying, how is it possible that the

219
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:50,799
US can acquire another country, even though they're pushing back.

220
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 7: I don't remember Greenland being another country. We're not taking

221
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,759
over Denmark. It's just Greenland is in our hemisphere. It's

222
00:12:57,799 --> 00:13:01,200
far far away from Denmark as we know, and fifty

223
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,600
seven thousand people right who are close to America, and

224
00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:06,960
it's important for us to make sure we protect the

225
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,240
western hemisphere. The strength of America in the Western hemisphere

226
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,919
is vital for the world. When America shines, the world shines.

227
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,559
We showed you that throughout twenty twenty five. I think

228
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,440
the President's going to come and talk about it. He's

229
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,200
going to meet with the European leaders. He's going to

230
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,879
talk to them, and my guess is they'll work it out,

231
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,480
but he wants them at the table.

232
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: He wants them serious.

233
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: You know again, why not just come clean and tell

234
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,919
what this is really about? And here's the status part.

235
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:35,120
After all of this hoopla, we still really don't even know.

236
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,279
And line with that questioning, President Zelenski said that literally

237
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,840
said the quiet part out loud, showing just how messed

238
00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:47,080
up the United States priorities are.

239
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 4: Play the clip, Let's look at the Western Hemisphere. President

240
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,600
trum Blatt an operation in Venezuela and Madura was arrested,

241
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,080
and there were different openis about it, but the fact remains.

242
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:06,840
Madura is on trial in New York. Sorry, but Putting

243
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:11,360
is not on trial. And this is the first year

244
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:14,480
of the biggest war in Europe since World War Two,

245
00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:17,960
and the man who started it is not only free,

246
00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:21,919
he is still fighting for his frozen money in Europe.

247
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's also being invited to the Board of Peace.

248
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:30,519
I understand, and I stand with Zelenski again. There are

249
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:33,159
so many things that come at us every single day,

250
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,159
and everybody has a difference of opinion, and what we

251
00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:39,879
try to do is we try to take the most

252
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,720
important things that are out there and we try to

253
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:45,519
make sense of them. And that's why I ask you
