Speaker 1: So look, I get the whole separation of duty's thing.
I really do, different departments, different responsibilities. Fine, no worries,
That's how government's supposed to work. But I'm pretty damn
sure that no one drafted the Constitution ever, ever imagining
our Homeland Security and Transportation secretaries turning the airport into
their personal CrossFit jym. Yet here we are. Here, we
are watching supposed public servants banging out pull ups at
the terminal like they're auditioning for a protein powder commercial.
I mean, you actually can't make this stuff up. Take
a look. Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show. On
our continued journey to half a million subscribers. We are
literally twenty five hundred away, and then we're going for
five hundred million to subscribe, watch, comment, and share, because
this level of stupidity, it's got to come to an
end now. Sean Duffy and RFK Jr. Went to Ronald
Reagan National Airport to announce a one billion dollar investment
to make airports more family friendly. I mean, seriously, what's
more friendly than an airport. Duffy's remarks were a total, blatant,
stupid example of Trump's cabinet members completely missing the mark.
Duffy goes on and rambles about how some travelers might
want to work out at the airport play The clip.
Speaker 2: Pretty wide open on what airports want to ask ask
for a grant. But it might be I want to
expand the play areas for kids. I want additional nursing
pods for nursing mothers. Maybe I want to work out
area where people might get some blood flow and doing
some pull ups or some step ups in the airport.
Speaker 1: But it could be any range of things.
Speaker 2: Maybe you want to work I know this is TSA,
but we're going to help on this as well.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to.
Speaker 2: Have a different lane for families to get through TSA.
How can we make the experience better as you come
through an airport?
Speaker 1: One billion dollars is going to go to that great.
Could you imagine if he turned around and he goes, well,
you know, based upon like rfcse cheating with the reporter
or this one, that maybe that we should also put
sort of massage beds in there, you know, because I mean,
who doesn't want to hang out at an airport to
work out or you know, to have a full body massage.
How stupid and tone deaf? Are these people? But in
two Trump cabinet fashion, when Duffy was asked about lowering
airport food costs, you go in, you want to get
a bottle of water, it's like eight dollars. You want
to get a bagel with cream, cheese and maybe a
cup of coffee, it's fourteen fifteen dollars. He admitted that
he has absolutely no plan to reduce costs. Play the clip.
Speaker 2: So the question is lowering the cost of food in airports,
and again it's it's interesting, it's it's market demand and
apply they have people, you know, pretty totally contained and
there's not a lot of options, and so I don't
have a plan to reduce costs. What I am trying
to do is provide healthier options for people. And again, again,
who doesn't love a greasy burger at the airport? I
know I do.
Speaker 1: That's not the point. That's not the point. You could
eat all the greasy burgers you grease head that you want.
The issue here is the cost. Well, maybe if you
charged less to the vendors and you demanded that they
reduce their prices accordingly, that would actually help out the
people who are traveling with their families who can't afford
within which to feed them. Another notable breaking news moment
was Trump, believe it or not, being caught, not surprisingly,
on a hot mic admitting that he can't appoint anybody. Meanwhile,
he was referring to the news on Alina Haba resigning
at the New Jersey US Attorney's office. Play the clip, Hey, yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know I can't.
Speaker 1: By the way, not true at all. You can't appoint anybody,
heg Seth Duffy, r f K Junior Bondi, Christy nome
lut Nick Rollin's somehow you manage to get him all
through now. Meanwhile, Trump is upset, seriously upset, and he
can't keep his story straight. I want to show you
a video that Midas Touch put out showing literally how
Trump's opinion on releasing, for example, the footage from the
double tap strike has changed in literally literally just the
last five days. Play the clip.
Speaker 4: Mister President, you said you would have no problem with
releasing the full video of that strike on September second, off.
Speaker 5: The coast of Venezuela.
Speaker 6: Secretary hegseet As.
Speaker 3: You said that, I didn't say that. This is ABC fakeness.
Speaker 4: You release video of that first boat strike on September second,
but not the second video. Will you release video of
that strike so that the American people can see for themselves.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what they have, but whatever they
have would certainly release, no problem.
Speaker 4: You said that you would have no problem releasing the
full bit videos releasing the full video.
Speaker 3: Didn't I just tell you that you said that it
was nonoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just
tell you you are an obnoxious, a terrible actually a
terrible reporter. And it's always the same thing with you.
I told you, whatever Pete Hegseth wants to do is
okay with me.
Speaker 1: Okay again, you heard for yourself. That's not what he said.
And Trump of course blamed ABC, quoting him proving proving
that he wants news channels to only report his version
of the truth. Now Trump is coming closer to that
goal by involving himself in the Warner Brothers sale play.
That clip is the paramount.
Speaker 3: I'm going to be reducing adversive stage or the paramount
for Warner Brothers that I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 2: You spoke about Netflix last night, saying you have concerns
about them.
Speaker 3: I know, I know the companies very well. I know
what they're doing, but I have to see I have
to see what percentage of market they are. We have
to see the Netflix percentage of market, Paramount, the percentage
of mor I mean, none of them are particularly great
friends of mine. Yeah, I just I want to I
want to do what's right. It's so so very important
to do.
Speaker 5: What he was supported by Tarreed Kushner, Mister President, would
that impact.
Speaker 3: Your decision paramount is I don't know, I haven't I've
never spoken of at he's really trying to work on.
Speaker 5: His primary thing, Christmas.
Speaker 1: No. In fact, he's actually worked on the paramount deal
literally literally to the tune of like thirty billion using
foreign money. I also want to turn around remind each
and every one of you that I believe it was
Netflix that gave Milania what sixty million dollars or something
like that for a documentary on the First Lady. So
it's a good thing that none of them are actually
friends or friendly to Trump. Meanwhile, current example of state
compromise media, it's clear Fox News and Larry Kudlow opening
lying openly lying on live TV about unemployment numbers. I mean,
how stupid can you be to lie about unemployment numbers
when the reports show that the United States layoffs are
on track to exceed Great Financial Crises level? How do
you think you're gonna get past that? Larry? Play the clip.
Speaker 7: I mean, they're spending hugely and meanwhile, hang on, unemployment
is at rock bottom. As I mentioned, those are real facts.
I'm not making this stuff up. Unemployment claims are as
low as they're ever gonna get, and businesses are starting
to buy machinery and equipment and build that.
Speaker 1: No, none of this is true. As I just said,
the layoffs, the US layoffs are on track to exceed
Great Financial Crisis level. And yet here he is telling you. No, No,
everything is great, everything is perfect. Brooke rollins Well, she
joined Kudlow and said that she doesn't want to see
tone deaf when I know saying that the relief of
food costs is coming interesting play the clip.
Speaker 6: Heirs, gas is down, lumber is down, eggs are down,
Larry Cudlow, Really everything is coming down, but we believe so. Sincerely, listen,
We're not tone deaf. We know that America, or a
lot of Americans at least are like, well, we're still
not feeling the relief. The relief is coming, the structure
is there, the one big beautiful bill, tax cuts go
into effect, Costs are coming down. It really is a
golden age just right around the corner. And I am
so excited and so grateful as the President now moves
out across the country next year to talk about it,
as we continue the work here in Washington to make
sure it.
Speaker 7: Happens Murky one thing directly in your Maine Madam Secretary.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me be crystal clear. See the problem with
having someone putts like Larry Kudlow who's not willing to
ask a follow up question. I would turn around if
I was interviewing her, and I would say, Secretary Rollins,
what's the increase in the cost of meat products? Pork, chicken, steak, beef? Okay,
let me ask you this one. What's the cost You
said that there was a reduction in the price of lumber. Really,
can you please turn around saying, because I have all
the stats and statistics and figures here, how about the
price of milk or even bottled water? How about the
cost of bread? How about the cost of everything other
than the gasoline, which, by the way, you're right about,
but that has nothing to do with agra and the
cost of eggs, which has nothing to do with anything
that this administration has done, but simply because during the
Biden administration we had a bird flu scenario. Now, someone
who does not succumb to Trump's desire for state sponsored
media is Margaret Brennan, who pushed back against Scott Bessen
when he claimed that he ran a soybean farm.
Speaker 5: Played the clip sent the agreement with the Chinese they
are going to buy a twelve point five million metric tons.
But Margaret, I'm involved in the agricultural industry. I run
a swaping farm, and I can tell you you invest
in it, sorry, you own or investment. People in my
family go out and work on it. I actually just
digest said it this week because part of my ethics agreement.
So I'm out of that business. But I probably know
more about any Treasury Secretary than agri about agriculture since
the eighteen hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure you do. You're an investor, no different than
I don't know if I'm an investor in Navidia. Does
that mean I know anything about chips, about AI chips,
what about if I'm an investor in Dorrito's, does that
mean I know anything about those chips. Finally, I want
to finish how I started with a Sean Duffy clip
claiming that he is not a big government guy. Play
the clip, Dave Sherward, separate writers.
Speaker 8: You talk about, you know, like the salty pretzels and
the Calorie Lady cookies. Is there you can do from
a regulatory standpoint to force the airlians to do more?
Or is this just more trying to jawbone the airlines
and the airports into voluntarily doing that.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big government guy, so I'm not finding
anyone if they wear their pajamas on the airplane, right,
that's not what we're doing.
Speaker 1: I'm just we're.
Speaker 2: Asking people to again maybe dress a little better, and
I've asked airplanes to give some better options. It's all
in the airlines purview how they're going to respond to this,
And I think.
Speaker 1: Look, I get it, right, pretzels versus what giving them
carrot sticks or celery sticks with mus Seriously, leave the
airlines alone. Let Duffy turn around, figure out how we
can get off on time, how we can land on time,
How the millions and millions of bags that somehow every
single year managed to get lost end up going to
the right place. Maybe I don't know, automate better. Maybe
turn around and have better systems so that we don't
have all of these close collisions or collisions between aircraft.
That's the job of the Secretary of Transportation, not to
tell us what shoes to wear, what shirts to wear,
whether you can or cannot wear pajamas, or what to
eat when you're on it. How about then turning around
and not selling alcohol because I don't know, we all
know that too much alcohol causes stupidity, right, and that's
what happens on airplanes when people get drunk. There's so
many things here that are wrong. Let him concentrate, if
he can, on not doing pull ups, but rather fixing
the system that definitively is broken. And as always, thanks
for listening. Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching.
