1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Well, Trump promised us a long State of the Union speech,

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,400
and while of course it did not reach a full

3
00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:08,839
three hours, it did which is what he teased. Right,

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,759
It did go on for an hour and forty eight minutes, now,

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,039
as he's been doing lately. The speech, let's just say it,

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,760
I don't know. It felt more like a stand up

7
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:23,559
routine or some sort of a comedic performance, and less

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,719
like a true assessment of what our country state of

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,280
affairs is. He spoke about immigration, he spoke about crime,

10
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:34,280
he spoke about tariffs, of course, accusing Democrats of being

11
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:37,439
crazy for not standing up and applauding at each of

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,079
his statements. Play the clip.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,079
Speaker 2: Nobody stands up. These people are crazy.

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: I'm telling you they're crazy.

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: Amazing, incredible, boy boy, We're lucky we have a country

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,840
with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,959
we've stopped it just in the nick of time.

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Did where Yeah, let me be crystal clear, they didn't

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,560
stop anything yet. In fact, one of the misstatements that

20
00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:20,159
he made, which of course every single speech writer who

21
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:23,439
worked on this should actually get a swift kick right

22
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,920
in the ass. So, for example, he spoke about and

23
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:32,920
at length about of course immigration. Talking about the killing

24
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:38,959
of Ukrainian refugee Arena Zurutska in North Carolina. Had the

25
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,439
parents there mom sobbing as Trump explained how this killer,

26
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:50,719
this immigrant killer, slashed through her neck killing her just horrible.

27
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:55,640
I mean, it was extremely graphic. But the mistake that

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,760
was made, I mean, this is Bush league's stupidity, was

29
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:05,200
that to Carlos Brown Junior, who was the assailant murderer,

30
00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:11,840
was actually not born overseas, was born in America, specifically

31
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,400
in Charlotte, North Carolina. What do they think that nobody

32
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,840
was going to fact check every single thing that Trump said.

33
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560
And meanwhile, while all this stuff is going on, and

34
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:27,080
when I say misinformation, disinformation, malinformation was being spewed like

35
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:31,759
nobody's ever seen before. To take a line from Trump himself,

36
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,919
you had the Republicans clapping like a bunch of seals.

37
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,159
Play the clip.

38
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: In twelve months, I secured commitments for more than eighteen

39
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:55,120
trillion dollars pouring in from all over the globe. Think

40
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:58,080
of it, much less than one trillion dollars for four

41
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:02,319
years versus much more than eight trillion dollars for one year.

42
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:09,639
What a difference a president makes? A short time ago.

43
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: We were a dead country.

44
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world,

45
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,360
the hottest.

46
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: You know, you got to give credit at least to

47
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,879
the fifty or so members who just chose not to

48
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,599
show up. In fact, they were outside, many of whom

49
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:34,000
were actually on the Midas Touch network, believe it or not,

50
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:38,840
doing a counter State of the Union now. As expected,

51
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:43,280
of course, Trump brought up the Dow right breaking fifty thousand,

52
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,080
which was about a week ago, but it sounded like

53
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:52,439
only one person actually clapped. Play the clip.

54
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: Now it's just taken off. One of the primary reasons

55
00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:59,520
for our country is studying economic turnaround. The biggest in

56
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,879
history where the Dow Jones broke fifty four years ahead

57
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:07,120
of schedule and the S and P hit seven thousand

58
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:10,080
where it wasn't supposed to do it for many years,

59
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:16,040
were tariffs. I used. These tariffs took in hundreds of

60
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,839
millions of dollars to make great deals for our country.

61
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you, whenever he said the word tariffs,

62
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,800
they immediately as I predicted yesterday, they immediately panned to

63
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,519
the Supreme Court. The one who actually looked the most

64
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,879
infuriated looked like she wanted to scream out was Amy

65
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,600
Cony Barrett. Now, Trump, he did get the Democrats to

66
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,560
cheer for him when he claimed that Democrats did not

67
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:48,199
vote to advance his bill. Talk about partisanship. Play the clip.

68
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: All Democrats, every single one of them, voted against these

69
00:04:53,279 --> 00:05:02,160
really important and very necessary massive tax cuts.

70
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,439
Speaker 1: Even that couldn't get everybody to cheer. Welcome back to

71
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,279
The Michael Cohen Show on our continued journey to a

72
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:13,600
million subscribers. We got to get there, There's no question about.

73
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:15,800
We have to get there. So hit subscribe, watch, comment,

74
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,600
and share, because this silliness, this nonsense, it actually has

75
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,319
to stop. And again, on a programming note, I do

76
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:24,720
want to let you know that while my podcast Mayor

77
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,399
Kolpa and Political Beatdown are no longer on the Midas

78
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:32,480
Touch Network, these shows they're not going anywhere. In fact,

79
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,319
they will be right here, available on my YouTube channel,

80
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:40,160
The Michael Cohen Show, or wherever you get your podcasts now. Look.

81
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:44,600
Of course, there was heckling during the speech. Representative Al

82
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,560
green Well. He showed up with a sign reminding Trump

83
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:52,600
that black people are not apes, which, of course, remember

84
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:56,439
is a callback to Trump's It's just a horrific video

85
00:05:56,959 --> 00:06:00,319
where an AI video where they placed the faces of

86
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,279
both Barack and Michelle Obama on these primates. I do

87
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,279
want to turn around and I want to show you

88
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:11,199
something as well. What ended up happening here is afterwards,

89
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,800
as he was being escorted out, one of the members

90
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:19,879
of the GOP actually grabbed a hold of the sign

91
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:26,000
until ultimately Representative Green finally pulled it back. Now, mind you,

92
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,480
while talking about the number of wars that he's actually solved,

93
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:34,720
someone yelled out that Trump was lying. Play that clip.

94
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: Our country has never been stronger. My first ten months,

95
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:45,480
I ended eight wars, including Cambodia. Isn't it funny? Sick people?

96
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,160
Cambodia and Thailand, Pakistan and India would have been a

97
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,600
nuclear war thirty five million people said the Prime Minister

98
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,800
of Pakistan would have died if it were not from

99
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,639
my involvement.

100
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: You know, again, it goes right back to the point

101
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,839
that I was making. Whoever actually wrote the speech, we

102
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,199
get it. He talks about this all the time, the

103
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:11,120
eight wars, nine wars soon to be ten wars. Probably

104
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:16,240
a different way within which to couch it ilhan Omar well.

105
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:19,560
She told Trump that he should be ashamed of himself

106
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:23,480
yelling it out as he was speaking. Play that clip.

107
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: In that shame.

108
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:34,319
Speaker 2: You should be ashamed of yourself not standing out.

109
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 5: He should be ashamed of yourself.

110
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:40,959
Speaker 6: That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly

111
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,199
sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties

112
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,600
for public officials who block the.

113
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:50,839
Speaker 2: Removal of criminal aliens.

114
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:54,879
Speaker 4: In many cases, drug lords, murders all over our country.

115
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country,

116
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:01,600
and you should be ashamed of your.

117
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: Saying wow, I mean, I'm shocked that they didn't get

118
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,639
the Master of the Sergeant at Arms to remove them too. Meanwhile,

119
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:15,399
Trump's theatrics, they continued, didn't stop here. He claimed that

120
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,480
he's protecting social security and medicaid as well. From who

121
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,879
Democrats play the clip.

122
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: So working to make it easier for Americans to say

123
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:31,319
for retirement and under this administration, we will always protect

124
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,480
social security and medicare. They are not protecting it for

125
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,039
our seniors. We will always protect social security, Medicare, medicare.

126
00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:50,639
Speaker 1: You know, just like in my conversation of yesterday when

127
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:56,120
I said that Ipso's Washington Post ABC poll one third

128
00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:59,759
one third and one third. It's exactly the same as

129
00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:03,519
who who thought that Trump did well, who thought Trump

130
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,759
did not do well, and who truly didn't give a

131
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:12,720
shit either way? One third, one third and one third. Now,

132
00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:16,960
of course, we all know that Trump likes medals and

133
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,559
honors and so on. I will tell you one thing

134
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,960
I've never heard of President say this one before. He

135
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,600
said that he actually wanted to give himself the Congressional

136
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:29,120
Medal of Honor if he was able to play the

137
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:30,200
clip you, I.

138
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,879
Speaker 2: Said, thank you, Eric, I've always wanted the Congressional Medal

139
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:36,799
of Honor, but I was informed I'm not allowed to

140
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,159
give it to myself.

141
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't know why i'd be taking it.

142
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: But they ever opened up that little I will be

143
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,879
there with you someday.

144
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,279
Speaker 1: I mean, you do have to admit it's kind of

145
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:52,159
silly and funny all at the same time. Now, Trump

146
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,039
also spoke about tariffs, and you know, the camera, of course,

147
00:09:56,159 --> 00:09:59,799
as I said before, once once they word tariffs, came

148
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:05,840
out immediately immediately panning to show the Supreme Court justices

149
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:08,960
that had just ruled against him. Play that clip.

150
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: Supreme Court's unfortunate involvement. So despite the disappointing ruling these

151
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,679
powerful country saving it's saving our country. The kind of

152
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,519
money we're taking in peace protecting many of the wars

153
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,960
I settled was because of the threat of tariffs. I

154
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,559
wouldn't have been able to settle him with a will

155
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,120
remain in place. Under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes,

156
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:38,840
and they have been tested for a long time. They're

157
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:43,159
a little more complex, but they're actually probably better, leading

158
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:47,120
to a solution that will be even stronger than before.

159
00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:51,720
Congressional action will not be necessary. It's already time tests

160
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,519
that are approved.

161
00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:54,639
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this. When I was watching this

162
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,559
last night and they panned in on any Coney Barrett,

163
00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:01,120
I could actually read her mind, and I know exactly

164
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:05,519
what she's saying. There is no time tested anything. And

165
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,080
the second that that comes and hits our desk, rest

166
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,120
assured we're going to overturn that one as well. Now,

167
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,080
Trump didn't spend much time on Iran, which is shocking

168
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,840
considering we have two battleships there, But he did he

169
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:25,480
did use some language that is nothing shy of fear mongering.

170
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,000
Play that clip.

171
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our

172
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:34,480
bases overseas, and they're working to build missiles that will

173
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:39,440
soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer,

174
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,080
they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild

175
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:48,840
their weapons program, in a particular nuclear weapons. Yet they

176
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,720
continue starting it all over. We wiped it out, and

177
00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:56,000
they want to start all over again, and at this

178
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,639
moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions negotiations with him. They

179
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,559
want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those

180
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:10,639
secret words. We will never have a nuclear weapon. My preference,

181
00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:31,360
My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. But

182
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,919
one thing is certain. I will never allow the world's

183
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,960
number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far,

184
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:39,879
to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen.

185
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be clear. He then went and he

186
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:50,919
started talking about food stamps, and you've heard me talk

187
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,159
about the stats program and so on. The inaccuracies on

188
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,679
this one were just explosive, saying that he actually lifted

189
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:06,399
millions of Americans or food stamps, which of course means

190
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,679
that he actually cut food stamps for the more than

191
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,879
twenty million Americans that rely upon them. Play that clip.

192
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: We cut a record number of job killing regulations, and

193
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,320
in one year, we have lifted two point four million

194
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:24,639
Americans a record off of food stamps.

195
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let me just turn around and say this.

196
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,919
He then, of course continued has an animus towards Somalians,

197
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,120
hates ilhan Omar so then went off on some tirade

198
00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:39,759
about Somalia.

199
00:13:39,879 --> 00:13:45,639
Speaker 7: Play that clip the Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind

200
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,360
us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption,

201
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,879
and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception.

202
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,639
Speaker 2: Improughting these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings

203
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,919
those problems right here to the USA. And it is

204
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,639
the American people who pay the price and higher medical bills,

205
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,320
car insurance rates, rent taxes, and perhaps most importantly crime.

206
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,759
We will take care of this problem.

207
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:13,639
Speaker 5: We're going to take care.

208
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 2: Of this problem. We are not playing games.

209
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: Delilahot you cannot just believe any of this happened last night. Well,

210
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,159
I do finally want to end on a clip, a

211
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,639
clip that shows literally how the Republicans, that one third

212
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,279
group actually thought that yesterday stated the Union was good

213
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:44,120
in terms of bringing unity to our country, and how

214
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:47,360
we'll just watch as you watch these Republicans sucking up

215
00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:50,120
to Trump after the speech, play the clip.

216
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,639
Speaker 7: I think you should take the rest of the day

217
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:54,720
an We're gonna happen.

218
00:14:56,159 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you.

219
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 5: It was amazing. All wrong, gre Slamb, I.

220
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:14,919
Speaker 2: Like that guy.

221
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:21,399
Speaker 7: I initial, just an initial.

222
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: Like I said, one third, one third and one third

223
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:32,600
and until we actually start getting on the same page together,

224
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,759
