Speaker 1: So let's be clear, the Republican Party is in complete disarray,
and this weekend's turning Point USA event in Phoenix made
that impossible to hide. What was meant to in all
lesson to honor the late Charlie Kirk instead turned into
a public meltdown of the MAGA movement, literally eating itself alive.
Welcome back to the Michael Cohne Show on our continued
journey to a million subscribers, by the way, crushing it
right now, more than twelve thousand new subscribers in less
than a week thanks to you. So let's keep it going. Hit, subscribe, watch, comment,
and share. Because the stupidity, when I say stupidity coming
out of the Republican side, it's boundless now MAGA influence,
we're literally openly attacking one another, declaring that the Republican
Party is dead, even full like Nicki Minaj appeared as
a surprise guest and repeatedly, repeatedly referred to jd Vance
get a load of this as an assassin, I mean
literally stunning the crowd, especially given the setting.
Speaker 2: Play the clip, and you have amazing role models like
the assassin jd Vance, our vice president, and when I
say that.
Speaker 3: I trust me. There's nothing new under the sun that
I have not heard.
Speaker 4: So you're firing. Yes, we did.
Speaker 5: I love you.
Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj you are truly an idiot and Erica Kirk,
shame on you laughing it off. The said your husband
was shot and killed by an assassin. Not a slip
of the tongue, just pure stupid. Meanwhile, Erica Kirk, she
had this on stage, Freudian slip. This was great. I
mean literally, a Freudian slip. Accidentally calling someone's work a
grift instead of a gift. It's literally it was became
an awkward moment that perfectly captured the chaos of this event.
Play the clip.
Speaker 3: Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband
at UVU, Caleb has persisted with the same grift excuse me,
gift grit. It has been a long day. Trust me,
You're not a grifter, honey.
Speaker 1: It's all good, Okay, listen. You could make your face up,
you could put your hair extensions in, you could do
whatever you want. True is true. It is one big,
gigantic grift. You know it, I know it. And here's
the crazy thing. Every single person in that audience was
saying the exact same thing. Yeah, we know it too. Meanwhile, JD. Vance.
He then took the stage and he literally leaned fully
into grievance politics, declaring that Republicans no longer have to
apologize for being white. Play the clip. In the United
States of America, you don't have to apologize for being
white anymore. Okay, hold on, I've actually been white my
entire life, right, I don't ever remember apologizing for being white,
not to anyone, not to my roommates who were black
when I was in law school, not to my friends
who were brown or black, or you know, or any
different race, religion, creed, or color. I certainly don't remember
ever apologized for being white, or Jewish for that matter.
I mean, this of course comes after Vivek Ramswami spoke.
I mean, you can't make this stuff up, calling out
bigots in the party and trying to frame the party
as inclusive. It's an argument that is completely undercut by
what you just saw statey Vance's rhetoric. Play the clip.
Speaker 6: If you believe in normalizing hatred towards any ethnic group,
toward whites, towards blacks, towards Hispanics, towards Jews, towards Indians.
You have no place in the future of the conservative
movement period.
Speaker 4: And I will not apologize for that. I will not
hedge when I say it. If you believe, and you will.
Speaker 6: Forgive me for giving you an exact quote from our
online commentator Nick Fuentes. If you believe that Hitler was
pretty fucking cool, you have no place in the future
of the conservative movement. You can debate foreign ad Israel
all you want. That's fine, that's fair, but no place
with that level of hatred. You could debate the right
resolution of the Russia Ukraine War, but if you believe
Joseph Stalin is someone to look up to, you have
no place in the future of the conservative movement. If
you call Usha Vance the Second Lady of the United
States of America a jeet, you have no place in
the future of the conservative movement. And if you can't
say those things without stuttering, then you have no place
as a leader at any level in the conservative movement either,
certainly not in my state of Ohio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree. If you want to be racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic,
is lomophobic, anti Semitic, you should have no place in America.
So I totally agree, except here's the problem. The entire
party is racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, and
anti Semitic. We just see it every single day coming
out of this administration, literally coming from folks like Stephen
Miller or somebody like JD. Vance who called Trump himself
America's hitler. Meanwhile, then, of course, batter up, here comes
Don Junior to speak where he used his speech to
attack the Republican Party itself, saying that it no longer
exists and has been replaced entirely by the MAGA movement.
Play the clip.
Speaker 7: Midterms are coming around the corner, and make no mistake,
the Democrat Party wants to do whatever they possibly can
to shut this movement down. Not just the Democrats, the Rhinos.
You see the manufactured attacks on JD. Myself, my thought,
anyone who understands that this isn't the Republican Party anymore.
It's the America First Party. It's the make America Great
Again Party, and we are not going back.
Speaker 1: Not going back to what, not going back to what?
Who wrote this idiot speech for you? And why the
hell did you probably not read it in advance so
that you know what the hell you're talking about.
Speaker 4: MAGA.
Speaker 1: Maga's not a movement. Maga's a cult. Now let me
say this, this is where it really gets good, all right,
Steve Bannon, Lordy Lord then took the stage and it
only escalated from there, choosing his time to attack people
like Ben Shapiro and other Republican leaders. Play the clip now.
Speaker 8: Benji Shapiro sat up here last night and he was all,
you know, I'm going to you know, it's all about
the truth.
Speaker 4: Ben.
Speaker 8: I know, in your long time brother, you can't handle
the truth. Let's face it, Ben Shapiro is the farthest
thing from MAGA. Let's be blunt. He is a hard
core never Trumper. He's a hard core never Trumper. In
the spring of sixteen, he tried to up in Breitbart.
Speaker 4: He walked off the job.
Speaker 8: Made a big deal about some incident in mar Lago
with Corey Lewandowski. He tried to turn it to Ted
Cruz from Donald Trump because he hated Donald Trump. In
the general election, he barely supported Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: The first sign of.
Speaker 8: When President Trump gets sent back to mar Lago the
very first individual that jumped on the Rod DeSantis train,
the Israel First transit train, was Ben Shapiro.
Speaker 4: And those are the.
Speaker 8: Darkest days we had in twenty one and twenty two.
Speaker 4: You guys are there.
Speaker 8: He's consistently been against Trump and now the President Trump
doesn't back.
Speaker 4: The greater Israel. What is greater Israel?
Speaker 8: It's not about Israel itself, It's about an expansion is Israel,
an imperial Israel that Netan Yahoo and that crowd have
thought up.
Speaker 4: And the Israel First.
Speaker 8: Crowd is Ben Shapiro, Tel Aviv, Mark Levin and many
others that want to put that ahead of America's interests.
Speaker 1: He can't even get an applause from the same group
of idiots that is sitting there watching this. Putts, who
wears like twelve jackets and fourteen shirts underneath it, tried
to spew off something to literally get an applause. Meanwhile, this,
of course came immediately after Ben Shapiro took the stage
the day before to denounce conspiracy theorists and Charlatan's who
claimed to speak for the party, just like Steve Bannon
play the clip.
Speaker 5: Well, today, I want to talk about the future of
the country and the future of this country, this amazing
country relies on the future of the conservative movement. It
relies on what TPUSA defines as its core mission, freedom,
free markets, and limited government. And most of all, most
of all, the future of this country relies on truth.
This country relies on truth because victory, true, real, lasting
victory cannot be achieved without truth. Victory without truth is
victory for a lie, and that is no victory at all.
Speaker 4: And unity without truth.
Speaker 7: Is no unity.
Speaker 5: It is merely solidarity and falsehood. The conservative movement is
also in danger from Charlatans who claim to speak in
the name of principle but actually traffic in spiratism and dishonesty,
who offer nothing but bile and despair, who seek to
undermine fundamental principles of conservatism by championing enervation and grievance.
Speaker 4: These people are.
Speaker 5: Frauds, and they are grifters, and they do not deserve
your time, and they are something worse than that, a
danger to the only movement capable of stopping left from
wrecking the country wholesale.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's exactly true. He's talking about the grifters, the
people who right now are in the administration, including many
who you just saw videos of. Now Donald Trump, he
didn't attend the event at all, rather calling in briefly
by phone and then going back to playing Pirate off
the Coast of Venezuela. Play that clip.
Speaker 7: I wanted to call in a little guest. He may
not be here today, but I wanted to make sure
he had a chance to say Hi, mister President. Then
everybody can you guys?
Speaker 9: Oh, I want to be with you, but I'll be
with you soon. And I just want to say that
nobody did more for me than Jolie, and there's nobody
better than Erica, and you are the greatest people on earth.
We want in a landslide and we're going to continue
to do it. And I just want to thank everybody.
You got out there and they voted, and they trussed doorbells,
and I just want to thank you all. And I
hope my son's doing a good job representing me. Otherwise
I'll have to say.
Speaker 4: You fired, DoD you fire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a complete stupid, stupid calling. Now, what was supposed
to be a show of strength for the GOP and MAGA, instead,
like I said, exposed a movement that is fractured, fractured
by hate, by grievance, by paranoia, and by NonStop internal warfare,
and all while Trump pulled US closer to war with
these Venezuela strikes, with the seizing of these oil Venezuelan
oil tankers and so on, as his regime is attempting
to yet seize another one off the coast of Venezuela
over the weekend. In fact, I write about it in
my sub stack, which I call America's Pirate in Chief.
A president right never thought in my life I'd lived
long enough to see the President of the United States
cosplay as Blackbeard. But here we are President Trump, commander
in chief, the guy that was on the telephone being
held up to Don Junior's chest Trump commander in Chief,
and the part time grievance archaeologist is literally right now
roaming the Caribbean like a reality TV pirate king, seizing
oil tankers and declaring blockades as if international law were
just another prenup that he never read. You know, I
finish my sub stack by turning around and saying history
does not usually remember pirate kings kindly, and it really
forgets the wars that they accidentally start, and that's the
danger because the actions that he's taking in terms of
angering China, Russia, Iran, North Korea as well, as I said,
rarely forgets the wars that they accidentally start. And as always,
thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching.
I mean, we're going to be posting daily episodes with
reactions and talking about politics. We'll be talking about everything
in fact, so please like and subscribe join us on
