1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: So look, I get the whole separation of duty's thing. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,119 I really do, different departments, different responsibilities. Fine, no worries, 3 00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:11,720 That's how government's supposed to work. But I'm pretty damn 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,519 sure that no one drafted the Constitution ever, ever imagining 5 00:00:16,679 --> 00:00:21,679 our Homeland Security and Transportation secretaries turning the airport into 6 00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:25,600 their personal CrossFit jym. Yet here we are. Here, we 7 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:30,320 are watching supposed public servants banging out pull ups at 8 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,399 the terminal like they're auditioning for a protein powder commercial. 9 00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:38,000 I mean, you actually can't make this stuff up. Take 10 00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:43,560 a look. Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show. On 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,640 our continued journey to half a million subscribers. We are 12 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,159 literally twenty five hundred away, and then we're going for 13 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,479 five hundred million to subscribe, watch, comment, and share, because 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,119 this level of stupidity, it's got to come to an 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,759 end now. Sean Duffy and RFK Jr. Went to Ronald 16 00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:04,799 Reagan National Airport to announce a one billion dollar investment 17 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,920 to make airports more family friendly. I mean, seriously, what's 18 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,239 more friendly than an airport. Duffy's remarks were a total, blatant, 19 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:20,799 stupid example of Trump's cabinet members completely missing the mark. 20 00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:25,760 Duffy goes on and rambles about how some travelers might 21 00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:29,760 want to work out at the airport play The clip. 22 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,359 Speaker 2: Pretty wide open on what airports want to ask ask 23 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,719 for a grant. But it might be I want to 24 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,480 expand the play areas for kids. I want additional nursing 25 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,760 pods for nursing mothers. Maybe I want to work out 26 00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:46,959 area where people might get some blood flow and doing 27 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,079 some pull ups or some step ups in the airport. 28 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,599 Speaker 1: But it could be any range of things. 29 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,239 Speaker 2: Maybe you want to work I know this is TSA, 30 00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:54,640 but we're going to help on this as well. 31 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,599 Speaker 1: Maybe you want to. 32 00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:59,159 Speaker 2: Have a different lane for families to get through TSA. 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,480 How can we make the experience better as you come 34 00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:03,280 through an airport? 35 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,239 Speaker 1: One billion dollars is going to go to that great. 36 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,439 Could you imagine if he turned around and he goes, well, 37 00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:11,680 you know, based upon like rfcse cheating with the reporter 38 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,240 or this one, that maybe that we should also put 39 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,400 sort of massage beds in there, you know, because I mean, 40 00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:19,840 who doesn't want to hang out at an airport to 41 00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:24,759 work out or you know, to have a full body massage. 42 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,879 How stupid and tone deaf? Are these people? But in 43 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,680 two Trump cabinet fashion, when Duffy was asked about lowering 44 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,400 airport food costs, you go in, you want to get 45 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,800 a bottle of water, it's like eight dollars. You want 46 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,520 to get a bagel with cream, cheese and maybe a 47 00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:45,960 cup of coffee, it's fourteen fifteen dollars. He admitted that 48 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:51,719 he has absolutely no plan to reduce costs. Play the clip. 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,319 Speaker 2: So the question is lowering the cost of food in airports, 50 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,639 and again it's it's interesting, it's it's market demand and 51 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,879 apply they have people, you know, pretty totally contained and 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,479 there's not a lot of options, and so I don't 53 00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,599 have a plan to reduce costs. What I am trying 54 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,159 to do is provide healthier options for people. And again, again, 55 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:16,520 who doesn't love a greasy burger at the airport? I 56 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:16,840 know I do. 57 00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: That's not the point. That's not the point. You could 58 00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:24,159 eat all the greasy burgers you grease head that you want. 59 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,199 The issue here is the cost. Well, maybe if you 60 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,960 charged less to the vendors and you demanded that they 61 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,800 reduce their prices accordingly, that would actually help out the 62 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,520 people who are traveling with their families who can't afford 63 00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:43,080 within which to feed them. Another notable breaking news moment 64 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,840 was Trump, believe it or not, being caught, not surprisingly, 65 00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:52,840 on a hot mic admitting that he can't appoint anybody. Meanwhile, 66 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:56,800 he was referring to the news on Alina Haba resigning 67 00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:06,599 at the New Jersey US Attorney's office. Play the clip, Hey, yeah, you. 68 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: Know I can't. 69 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: By the way, not true at all. You can't appoint anybody, 70 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,240 heg Seth Duffy, r f K Junior Bondi, Christy nome 71 00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:35,240 lut Nick Rollin's somehow you manage to get him all 72 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:41,480 through now. Meanwhile, Trump is upset, seriously upset, and he 73 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,079 can't keep his story straight. I want to show you 74 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,360 a video that Midas Touch put out showing literally how 75 00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:53,079 Trump's opinion on releasing, for example, the footage from the 76 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,759 double tap strike has changed in literally literally just the 77 00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:02,279 last five days. Play the clip. 78 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 4: Mister President, you said you would have no problem with 79 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,040 releasing the full video of that strike on September second, off. 80 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 5: The coast of Venezuela. 81 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 6: Secretary hegseet As. 82 00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: You said that, I didn't say that. This is ABC fakeness. 83 00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 4: You release video of that first boat strike on September second, 84 00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:24,480 but not the second video. Will you release video of 85 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,439 that strike so that the American people can see for themselves. 86 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what they have, but whatever they 87 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,959 have would certainly release, no problem. 88 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 4: You said that you would have no problem releasing the 89 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,720 full bit videos releasing the full video. 90 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 3: Didn't I just tell you that you said that it 91 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,600 was nonoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just 92 00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:45,000 tell you you are an obnoxious, a terrible actually a 93 00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,879 terrible reporter. And it's always the same thing with you. 94 00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:51,399 I told you, whatever Pete Hegseth wants to do is 95 00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:52,120 okay with me. 96 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: Okay again, you heard for yourself. That's not what he said. 97 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,240 And Trump of course blamed ABC, quoting him proving proving 98 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,279 that he wants news channels to only report his version 99 00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:11,199 of the truth. Now Trump is coming closer to that 100 00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:16,120 goal by involving himself in the Warner Brothers sale play. 101 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,439 That clip is the paramount. 102 00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:21,959 Speaker 3: I'm going to be reducing adversive stage or the paramount 103 00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,560 for Warner Brothers that I don't know enough about it. 104 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: You spoke about Netflix last night, saying you have concerns 105 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,040 about them. 106 00:06:29,079 --> 00:06:30,759 Speaker 3: I know, I know the companies very well. I know 107 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,399 what they're doing, but I have to see I have 108 00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,319 to see what percentage of market they are. We have 109 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,240 to see the Netflix percentage of market, Paramount, the percentage 110 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,759 of mor I mean, none of them are particularly great 111 00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:46,040 friends of mine. Yeah, I just I want to I 112 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:48,759 want to do what's right. It's so so very important 113 00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:49,040 to do. 114 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,319 Speaker 5: What he was supported by Tarreed Kushner, Mister President, would 115 00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:53,839 that impact. 116 00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: Your decision paramount is I don't know, I haven't I've 117 00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:00,519 never spoken of at he's really trying to work on. 118 00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 5: His primary thing, Christmas. 119 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,639 Speaker 1: No. In fact, he's actually worked on the paramount deal 120 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,279 literally literally to the tune of like thirty billion using 121 00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:16,120 foreign money. I also want to turn around remind each 122 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,279 and every one of you that I believe it was 123 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,680 Netflix that gave Milania what sixty million dollars or something 124 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,040 like that for a documentary on the First Lady. So 125 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,480 it's a good thing that none of them are actually 126 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,040 friends or friendly to Trump. Meanwhile, current example of state 127 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,560 compromise media, it's clear Fox News and Larry Kudlow opening 128 00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:48,319 lying openly lying on live TV about unemployment numbers. I mean, 129 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,360 how stupid can you be to lie about unemployment numbers 130 00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:57,639 when the reports show that the United States layoffs are 131 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,120 on track to exceed Great Financial Crises level? How do 132 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,319 you think you're gonna get past that? Larry? Play the clip. 133 00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 7: I mean, they're spending hugely and meanwhile, hang on, unemployment 134 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,199 is at rock bottom. As I mentioned, those are real facts. 135 00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:18,079 I'm not making this stuff up. Unemployment claims are as 136 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,920 low as they're ever gonna get, and businesses are starting 137 00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:23,879 to buy machinery and equipment and build that. 138 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,079 Speaker 1: No, none of this is true. As I just said, 139 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,600 the layoffs, the US layoffs are on track to exceed 140 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,600 Great Financial Crisis level. And yet here he is telling you. No, No, 141 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,600 everything is great, everything is perfect. Brooke rollins Well, she 142 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,919 joined Kudlow and said that she doesn't want to see 143 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,399 tone deaf when I know saying that the relief of 144 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,799 food costs is coming interesting play the clip. 145 00:08:53,919 --> 00:08:58,039 Speaker 6: Heirs, gas is down, lumber is down, eggs are down, 146 00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:02,639 Larry Cudlow, Really everything is coming down, but we believe so. Sincerely, listen, 147 00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:05,240 We're not tone deaf. We know that America, or a 148 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:07,240 lot of Americans at least are like, well, we're still 149 00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:10,399 not feeling the relief. The relief is coming, the structure 150 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,360 is there, the one big beautiful bill, tax cuts go 151 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,720 into effect, Costs are coming down. It really is a 152 00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:19,039 golden age just right around the corner. And I am 153 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,480 so excited and so grateful as the President now moves 154 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,960 out across the country next year to talk about it, 155 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,840 as we continue the work here in Washington to make 156 00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:28,240 sure it. 157 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 7: Happens Murky one thing directly in your Maine Madam Secretary. 158 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: Okay, let me be crystal clear. See the problem with 159 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,840 having someone putts like Larry Kudlow who's not willing to 160 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,039 ask a follow up question. I would turn around if 161 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,600 I was interviewing her, and I would say, Secretary Rollins, 162 00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:59,480 what's the increase in the cost of meat products? Pork, chicken, steak, beef? Okay, 163 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,200 let me ask you this one. What's the cost You 164 00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:06,879 said that there was a reduction in the price of lumber. Really, 165 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,200 can you please turn around saying, because I have all 166 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,759 the stats and statistics and figures here, how about the 167 00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:18,279 price of milk or even bottled water? How about the 168 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,000 cost of bread? How about the cost of everything other 169 00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:25,039 than the gasoline, which, by the way, you're right about, 170 00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:27,960 but that has nothing to do with agra and the 171 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,799 cost of eggs, which has nothing to do with anything 172 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,360 that this administration has done, but simply because during the 173 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,039 Biden administration we had a bird flu scenario. Now, someone 174 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,879 who does not succumb to Trump's desire for state sponsored 175 00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:47,960 media is Margaret Brennan, who pushed back against Scott Bessen 176 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,399 when he claimed that he ran a soybean farm. 177 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 5: Played the clip sent the agreement with the Chinese they 178 00:10:57,879 --> 00:11:00,440 are going to buy a twelve point five million metric tons. 179 00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:04,480 But Margaret, I'm involved in the agricultural industry. I run 180 00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:07,519 a swaping farm, and I can tell you you invest 181 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:09,879 in it, sorry, you own or investment. People in my 182 00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:12,559 family go out and work on it. I actually just 183 00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:15,919 digest said it this week because part of my ethics agreement. 184 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,240 So I'm out of that business. But I probably know 185 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:23,799 more about any Treasury Secretary than agri about agriculture since 186 00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:24,679 the eighteen hundred. 187 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, sure you do. You're an investor, no different than 188 00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:32,840 I don't know if I'm an investor in Navidia. Does 189 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,519 that mean I know anything about chips, about AI chips, 190 00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:40,000 what about if I'm an investor in Dorrito's, does that 191 00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:44,960 mean I know anything about those chips. Finally, I want 192 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,399 to finish how I started with a Sean Duffy clip 193 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,879 claiming that he is not a big government guy. Play 194 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,039 the clip, Dave Sherward, separate writers. 195 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 8: You talk about, you know, like the salty pretzels and 196 00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:01,039 the Calorie Lady cookies. Is there you can do from 197 00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:03,639 a regulatory standpoint to force the airlians to do more? 198 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,279 Or is this just more trying to jawbone the airlines 199 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,360 and the airports into voluntarily doing that. 200 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: I'm not a big government guy, so I'm not finding 201 00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:14,519 anyone if they wear their pajamas on the airplane, right, 202 00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:15,399 that's not what we're doing. 203 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: I'm just we're. 204 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:22,039 Speaker 2: Asking people to again maybe dress a little better, and 205 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,759 I've asked airplanes to give some better options. It's all 206 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:27,879 in the airlines purview how they're going to respond to this, 207 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,559 And I think. 208 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: Look, I get it, right, pretzels versus what giving them 209 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:40,960 carrot sticks or celery sticks with mus Seriously, leave the 210 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000 airlines alone. Let Duffy turn around, figure out how we 211 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,879 can get off on time, how we can land on time, 212 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,000 How the millions and millions of bags that somehow every 213 00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:55,200 single year managed to get lost end up going to 214 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,960 the right place. Maybe I don't know, automate better. Maybe 215 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,720 turn around and have better systems so that we don't 216 00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:06,159 have all of these close collisions or collisions between aircraft. 217 00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,919 That's the job of the Secretary of Transportation, not to 218 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:12,440 tell us what shoes to wear, what shirts to wear, 219 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,720 whether you can or cannot wear pajamas, or what to 220 00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,840 eat when you're on it. How about then turning around 221 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,840 and not selling alcohol because I don't know, we all 222 00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:27,320 know that too much alcohol causes stupidity, right, and that's 223 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,200 what happens on airplanes when people get drunk. There's so 224 00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:35,159 many things here that are wrong. Let him concentrate, if 225 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,279 he can, on not doing pull ups, but rather fixing 226 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:44,000 the system that definitively is broken. And as always, thanks 227 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,440 for listening.
