Speaker 1: Well, Trump promised us a long State of the Union speech,
and while of course it did not reach a full
three hours, it did which is what he teased. Right,
It did go on for an hour and forty eight minutes, now,
as he's been doing lately. The speech, let's just say it,
I don't know. It felt more like a stand up
routine or some sort of a comedic performance, and less
like a true assessment of what our country state of
affairs is. He spoke about immigration, he spoke about crime,
he spoke about tariffs, of course, accusing Democrats of being
crazy for not standing up and applauding at each of
his statements. Play the clip.
Speaker 2: Nobody stands up. These people are crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you they're crazy.
Speaker 2: Amazing, incredible, boy boy, We're lucky we have a country
with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but
we've stopped it just in the nick of time.
Speaker 1: Did where Yeah, let me be crystal clear, they didn't
stop anything yet. In fact, one of the misstatements that
he made, which of course every single speech writer who
worked on this should actually get a swift kick right
in the ass. So, for example, he spoke about and
at length about of course immigration. Talking about the killing
of Ukrainian refugee Arena Zurutska in North Carolina. Had the
parents there mom sobbing as Trump explained how this killer,
this immigrant killer, slashed through her neck killing her just horrible.
I mean, it was extremely graphic. But the mistake that
was made, I mean, this is Bush league's stupidity, was
that to Carlos Brown Junior, who was the assailant murderer,
was actually not born overseas, was born in America, specifically
in Charlotte, North Carolina. What do they think that nobody
was going to fact check every single thing that Trump said.
And meanwhile, while all this stuff is going on, and
when I say misinformation, disinformation, malinformation was being spewed like
nobody's ever seen before. To take a line from Trump himself,
you had the Republicans clapping like a bunch of seals.
Play the clip.
Speaker 2: In twelve months, I secured commitments for more than eighteen
trillion dollars pouring in from all over the globe. Think
of it, much less than one trillion dollars for four
years versus much more than eight trillion dollars for one year.
What a difference a president makes? A short time ago.
Speaker 1: We were a dead country.
Speaker 2: Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world,
the hottest.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to give credit at least to
the fifty or so members who just chose not to
show up. In fact, they were outside, many of whom
were actually on the Midas Touch network, believe it or not,
doing a counter State of the Union now. As expected,
of course, Trump brought up the Dow right breaking fifty thousand,
which was about a week ago, but it sounded like
only one person actually clapped. Play the clip.
Speaker 2: Now it's just taken off. One of the primary reasons
for our country is studying economic turnaround. The biggest in
history where the Dow Jones broke fifty four years ahead
of schedule and the S and P hit seven thousand
where it wasn't supposed to do it for many years,
were tariffs. I used. These tariffs took in hundreds of
millions of dollars to make great deals for our country.
Speaker 1: Well, I will tell you, whenever he said the word tariffs,
they immediately as I predicted yesterday, they immediately panned to
the Supreme Court. The one who actually looked the most
infuriated looked like she wanted to scream out was Amy
Cony Barrett. Now, Trump, he did get the Democrats to
cheer for him when he claimed that Democrats did not
vote to advance his bill. Talk about partisanship. Play the clip.
Speaker 4: All Democrats, every single one of them, voted against these
really important and very necessary massive tax cuts.
Speaker 1: Even that couldn't get everybody to cheer. Welcome back to
The Michael Cohen Show on our continued journey to a
million subscribers. We got to get there, There's no question about.
We have to get there. So hit subscribe, watch, comment,
and share, because this silliness, this nonsense, it actually has
to stop. And again, on a programming note, I do
want to let you know that while my podcast Mayor
Kolpa and Political Beatdown are no longer on the Midas
Touch Network, these shows they're not going anywhere. In fact,
they will be right here, available on my YouTube channel,
The Michael Cohen Show, or wherever you get your podcasts now. Look.
Of course, there was heckling during the speech. Representative Al
green Well. He showed up with a sign reminding Trump
that black people are not apes, which, of course, remember
is a callback to Trump's It's just a horrific video
where an AI video where they placed the faces of
both Barack and Michelle Obama on these primates. I do
want to turn around and I want to show you
something as well. What ended up happening here is afterwards,
as he was being escorted out, one of the members
of the GOP actually grabbed a hold of the sign
until ultimately Representative Green finally pulled it back. Now, mind you,
while talking about the number of wars that he's actually solved,
someone yelled out that Trump was lying. Play that clip.
Speaker 2: Our country has never been stronger. My first ten months,
I ended eight wars, including Cambodia. Isn't it funny? Sick people?
Cambodia and Thailand, Pakistan and India would have been a
nuclear war thirty five million people said the Prime Minister
of Pakistan would have died if it were not from
my involvement.
Speaker 1: You know, again, it goes right back to the point
that I was making. Whoever actually wrote the speech, we
get it. He talks about this all the time, the
eight wars, nine wars soon to be ten wars. Probably
a different way within which to couch it ilhan Omar well.
She told Trump that he should be ashamed of himself
yelling it out as he was speaking. Play that clip.
Speaker 5: In that shame.
Speaker 2: You should be ashamed of yourself not standing out.
Speaker 5: He should be ashamed of yourself.
Speaker 6: That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly
sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties
for public officials who block the.
Speaker 2: Removal of criminal aliens.
Speaker 4: In many cases, drug lords, murders all over our country.
Speaker 2: They're blocking the removal of these people out of our country,
and you should be ashamed of your.
Speaker 1: Saying wow, I mean, I'm shocked that they didn't get
the Master of the Sergeant at Arms to remove them too. Meanwhile,
Trump's theatrics, they continued, didn't stop here. He claimed that
he's protecting social security and medicaid as well. From who
Democrats play the clip.
Speaker 2: So working to make it easier for Americans to say
for retirement and under this administration, we will always protect
social security and medicare. They are not protecting it for
our seniors. We will always protect social security, Medicare, medicare.
Speaker 1: You know, just like in my conversation of yesterday when
I said that Ipso's Washington Post ABC poll one third
one third and one third. It's exactly the same as
who who thought that Trump did well, who thought Trump
did not do well, and who truly didn't give a
shit either way? One third, one third and one third. Now,
of course, we all know that Trump likes medals and
honors and so on. I will tell you one thing
I've never heard of President say this one before. He
said that he actually wanted to give himself the Congressional
Medal of Honor if he was able to play the
clip you, I.
Speaker 2: Said, thank you, Eric, I've always wanted the Congressional Medal
of Honor, but I was informed I'm not allowed to
give it to myself.
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't know why i'd be taking it.
Speaker 2: But they ever opened up that little I will be
there with you someday.
Speaker 1: I mean, you do have to admit it's kind of
silly and funny all at the same time. Now, Trump
also spoke about tariffs, and you know, the camera, of course,
as I said before, once once they word tariffs, came
out immediately immediately panning to show the Supreme Court justices
that had just ruled against him. Play that clip.
Speaker 2: Supreme Court's unfortunate involvement. So despite the disappointing ruling these
powerful country saving it's saving our country. The kind of
money we're taking in peace protecting many of the wars
I settled was because of the threat of tariffs. I
wouldn't have been able to settle him with a will
remain in place. Under fully approved and tested alternative legal statutes,
and they have been tested for a long time. They're
a little more complex, but they're actually probably better, leading
to a solution that will be even stronger than before.
Congressional action will not be necessary. It's already time tests
that are approved.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this. When I was watching this
last night and they panned in on any Coney Barrett,
I could actually read her mind, and I know exactly
what she's saying. There is no time tested anything. And
the second that that comes and hits our desk, rest
assured we're going to overturn that one as well. Now,
Trump didn't spend much time on Iran, which is shocking
considering we have two battleships there, But he did he
did use some language that is nothing shy of fear mongering.
Play that clip.
Speaker 2: They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our
bases overseas, and they're working to build missiles that will
soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer,
they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild
their weapons program, in a particular nuclear weapons. Yet they
continue starting it all over. We wiped it out, and
they want to start all over again, and at this
moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions negotiations with him. They
want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those
secret words. We will never have a nuclear weapon. My preference,
My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. But
one thing is certain. I will never allow the world's
number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far,
to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me be clear. He then went and he
started talking about food stamps, and you've heard me talk
about the stats program and so on. The inaccuracies on
this one were just explosive, saying that he actually lifted
millions of Americans or food stamps, which of course means
that he actually cut food stamps for the more than
twenty million Americans that rely upon them. Play that clip.
Speaker 2: We cut a record number of job killing regulations, and
in one year, we have lifted two point four million
Americans a record off of food stamps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let me just turn around and say this.
He then, of course continued has an animus towards Somalians,
hates ilhan Omar so then went off on some tirade
about Somalia.
Speaker 7: Play that clip the Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind
us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption,
and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception.
Speaker 2: Improughting these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings
those problems right here to the USA. And it is
the American people who pay the price and higher medical bills,
car insurance rates, rent taxes, and perhaps most importantly crime.
We will take care of this problem.
Speaker 5: We're going to take care.
Speaker 2: Of this problem. We are not playing games.
Speaker 1: Delilahot you cannot just believe any of this happened last night. Well,
I do finally want to end on a clip, a
clip that shows literally how the Republicans, that one third
group actually thought that yesterday stated the Union was good
in terms of bringing unity to our country, and how
we'll just watch as you watch these Republicans sucking up
to Trump after the speech, play the clip.
Speaker 7: I think you should take the rest of the day
an We're gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5: It was amazing. All wrong, gre Slamb, I.
Speaker 2: Like that guy.
Speaker 7: I initial, just an initial.
Speaker 1: Like I said, one third, one third and one third
and until we actually start getting on the same page together,
this country is in some some real serious trouble. And
as always, thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all,
thanks for watching. I mean, we're gonna be posting daily
episodes with reactions and talking about politics. We'll be talking
about everything in fact, so please like and subscribe join
