1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,719
Speaker 1: So let's be clear, the Republican Party is in complete disarray,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,359
and this weekend's turning Point USA event in Phoenix made

3
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:12,960
that impossible to hide. What was meant to in all

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,480
lesson to honor the late Charlie Kirk instead turned into

5
00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:22,440
a public meltdown of the MAGA movement, literally eating itself alive.

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,640
Welcome back to the Michael Cohne Show on our continued

7
00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:29,160
journey to a million subscribers, by the way, crushing it

8
00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:33,240
right now, more than twelve thousand new subscribers in less

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,880
than a week thanks to you. So let's keep it going. Hit, subscribe, watch, comment,

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,719
and share. Because the stupidity, when I say stupidity coming

11
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:46,320
out of the Republican side, it's boundless now MAGA influence,

12
00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:51,439
we're literally openly attacking one another, declaring that the Republican

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,119
Party is dead, even full like Nicki Minaj appeared as

14
00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:02,799
a surprise guest and repeatedly, repeatedly referred to jd Vance

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,079
get a load of this as an assassin, I mean

16
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,560
literally stunning the crowd, especially given the setting.

17
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: Play the clip, and you have amazing role models like

18
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:21,239
the assassin jd Vance, our vice president, and when I

19
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:21,760
say that.

20
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:32,159
Speaker 3: I trust me. There's nothing new under the sun that

21
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:33,120
I have not heard.

22
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,599
Speaker 4: So you're firing. Yes, we did.

23
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 5: I love you.

24
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:47,799
Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj you are truly an idiot and Erica Kirk,

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,120
shame on you laughing it off. The said your husband

26
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:57,519
was shot and killed by an assassin. Not a slip

27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,519
of the tongue, just pure stupid. Meanwhile, Erica Kirk, she

28
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:06,599
had this on stage, Freudian slip. This was great. I

29
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,439
mean literally, a Freudian slip. Accidentally calling someone's work a

30
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:16,960
grift instead of a gift. It's literally it was became

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,759
an awkward moment that perfectly captured the chaos of this event.

32
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:23,360
Play the clip.

33
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,039
Speaker 3: Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband

34
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:32,759
at UVU, Caleb has persisted with the same grift excuse me,

35
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:40,520
gift grit. It has been a long day. Trust me,

36
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:41,960
You're not a grifter, honey.

37
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,479
Speaker 1: It's all good, Okay, listen. You could make your face up,

38
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,039
you could put your hair extensions in, you could do

39
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,080
whatever you want. True is true. It is one big,

40
00:02:54,439 --> 00:02:58,759
gigantic grift. You know it, I know it. And here's

41
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:02,240
the crazy thing. Every single person in that audience was

42
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,280
saying the exact same thing. Yeah, we know it too. Meanwhile, JD. Vance.

43
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:10,599
He then took the stage and he literally leaned fully

44
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:16,360
into grievance politics, declaring that Republicans no longer have to

45
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:23,080
apologize for being white. Play the clip. In the United

46
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,120
States of America, you don't have to apologize for being

47
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:34,800
white anymore. Okay, hold on, I've actually been white my

48
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,960
entire life, right, I don't ever remember apologizing for being white,

49
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,159
not to anyone, not to my roommates who were black

50
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:47,639
when I was in law school, not to my friends

51
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,520
who were brown or black, or you know, or any

52
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,319
different race, religion, creed, or color. I certainly don't remember

53
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,800
ever apologized for being white, or Jewish for that matter.

54
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:05,520
I mean, this of course comes after Vivek Ramswami spoke.

55
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:08,639
I mean, you can't make this stuff up, calling out

56
00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:12,919
bigots in the party and trying to frame the party

57
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,240
as inclusive. It's an argument that is completely undercut by

58
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,680
what you just saw statey Vance's rhetoric. Play the clip.

59
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,759
Speaker 6: If you believe in normalizing hatred towards any ethnic group,

60
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,439
toward whites, towards blacks, towards Hispanics, towards Jews, towards Indians.

61
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,519
You have no place in the future of the conservative

62
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,040
movement period.

63
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: And I will not apologize for that. I will not

64
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,240
hedge when I say it. If you believe, and you will.

65
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 6: Forgive me for giving you an exact quote from our

66
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,360
online commentator Nick Fuentes. If you believe that Hitler was

67
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:53,920
pretty fucking cool, you have no place in the future

68
00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:58,279
of the conservative movement. You can debate foreign ad Israel

69
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:00,720
all you want. That's fine, that's fair, but no place

70
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:03,360
with that level of hatred. You could debate the right

71
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:05,519
resolution of the Russia Ukraine War, but if you believe

72
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,839
Joseph Stalin is someone to look up to, you have

73
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,639
no place in the future of the conservative movement. If

74
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,920
you call Usha Vance the Second Lady of the United

75
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:19,160
States of America a jeet, you have no place in

76
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:27,000
the future of the conservative movement. And if you can't

77
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,279
say those things without stuttering, then you have no place

78
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,399
as a leader at any level in the conservative movement either,

79
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,120
certainly not in my state of Ohio.

80
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree. If you want to be racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic,

81
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,639
is lomophobic, anti Semitic, you should have no place in America.

82
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:53,560
So I totally agree, except here's the problem. The entire

83
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:58,839
party is racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, and

84
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,519
anti Semitic. We just see it every single day coming

85
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,680
out of this administration, literally coming from folks like Stephen

86
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:11,279
Miller or somebody like JD. Vance who called Trump himself

87
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:16,319
America's hitler. Meanwhile, then, of course, batter up, here comes

88
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,920
Don Junior to speak where he used his speech to

89
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:25,319
attack the Republican Party itself, saying that it no longer

90
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:30,879
exists and has been replaced entirely by the MAGA movement.

91
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,439
Play the clip.

92
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 7: Midterms are coming around the corner, and make no mistake,

93
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,839
the Democrat Party wants to do whatever they possibly can

94
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:47,839
to shut this movement down. Not just the Democrats, the Rhinos.

95
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,399
You see the manufactured attacks on JD. Myself, my thought,

96
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:59,920
anyone who understands that this isn't the Republican Party anymore.

97
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,560
It's the America First Party. It's the make America Great

98
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,399
Again Party, and we are not going back.

99
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: Not going back to what, not going back to what?

100
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,600
Who wrote this idiot speech for you? And why the

101
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,360
hell did you probably not read it in advance so

102
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,199
that you know what the hell you're talking about.

103
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: MAGA.

104
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Maga's not a movement. Maga's a cult. Now let me

105
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:37,120
say this, this is where it really gets good, all right,

106
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,199
Steve Bannon, Lordy Lord then took the stage and it

107
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:47,160
only escalated from there, choosing his time to attack people

108
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:53,600
like Ben Shapiro and other Republican leaders. Play the clip now.

109
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,879
Speaker 8: Benji Shapiro sat up here last night and he was all,

110
00:07:58,079 --> 00:07:59,959
you know, I'm going to you know, it's all about

111
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:00,519
the truth.

112
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: Ben.

113
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 8: I know, in your long time brother, you can't handle

114
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:14,480
the truth. Let's face it, Ben Shapiro is the farthest

115
00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:20,600
thing from MAGA. Let's be blunt. He is a hard

116
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,639
core never Trumper. He's a hard core never Trumper. In

117
00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:29,279
the spring of sixteen, he tried to up in Breitbart.

118
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: He walked off the job.

119
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,879
Speaker 8: Made a big deal about some incident in mar Lago

120
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:36,240
with Corey Lewandowski. He tried to turn it to Ted

121
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,279
Cruz from Donald Trump because he hated Donald Trump. In

122
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,840
the general election, he barely supported Donald Trump.

123
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:45,399
Speaker 4: The first sign of.

124
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 8: When President Trump gets sent back to mar Lago the

125
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,639
very first individual that jumped on the Rod DeSantis train,

126
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,639
the Israel First transit train, was Ben Shapiro.

127
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 4: And those are the.

128
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 8: Darkest days we had in twenty one and twenty two.

129
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: You guys are there.

130
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 8: He's consistently been against Trump and now the President Trump

131
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:07,240
doesn't back.

132
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,279
Speaker 4: The greater Israel. What is greater Israel?

133
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 8: It's not about Israel itself, It's about an expansion is Israel,

134
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,919
an imperial Israel that Netan Yahoo and that crowd have

135
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:17,519
thought up.

136
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,639
Speaker 4: And the Israel First.

137
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:23,159
Speaker 8: Crowd is Ben Shapiro, Tel Aviv, Mark Levin and many

138
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,639
others that want to put that ahead of America's interests.

139
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: He can't even get an applause from the same group

140
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:35,320
of idiots that is sitting there watching this. Putts, who

141
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,480
wears like twelve jackets and fourteen shirts underneath it, tried

142
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,480
to spew off something to literally get an applause. Meanwhile, this,

143
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,480
of course came immediately after Ben Shapiro took the stage

144
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:53,480
the day before to denounce conspiracy theorists and Charlatan's who

145
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:57,759
claimed to speak for the party, just like Steve Bannon

146
00:09:58,399 --> 00:09:59,559
play the clip.

147
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 5: Well, today, I want to talk about the future of

148
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,360
the country and the future of this country, this amazing

149
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:12,120
country relies on the future of the conservative movement. It

150
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:16,399
relies on what TPUSA defines as its core mission, freedom,

151
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:22,000
free markets, and limited government. And most of all, most

152
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:25,879
of all, the future of this country relies on truth.

153
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,559
This country relies on truth because victory, true, real, lasting

154
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,600
victory cannot be achieved without truth. Victory without truth is

155
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,000
victory for a lie, and that is no victory at all.

156
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:48,799
Speaker 4: And unity without truth.

157
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 7: Is no unity.

158
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:53,879
Speaker 5: It is merely solidarity and falsehood. The conservative movement is

159
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:57,320
also in danger from Charlatans who claim to speak in

160
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,519
the name of principle but actually traffic in spiratism and dishonesty,

161
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,200
who offer nothing but bile and despair, who seek to

162
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:10,279
undermine fundamental principles of conservatism by championing enervation and grievance.

163
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 4: These people are.

164
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 5: Frauds, and they are grifters, and they do not deserve

165
00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:17,480
your time, and they are something worse than that, a

166
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,480
danger to the only movement capable of stopping left from

167
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,960
wrecking the country wholesale.

168
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,759
Speaker 1: Yes, it's exactly true. He's talking about the grifters, the

169
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:29,120
people who right now are in the administration, including many

170
00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:32,399
who you just saw videos of. Now Donald Trump, he

171
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,240
didn't attend the event at all, rather calling in briefly

172
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:39,919
by phone and then going back to playing Pirate off

173
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,720
the Coast of Venezuela. Play that clip.

174
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:52,039
Speaker 7: I wanted to call in a little guest. He may

175
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,080
not be here today, but I wanted to make sure

176
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,279
he had a chance to say Hi, mister President. Then

177
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,679
everybody can you guys?

178
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 9: Oh, I want to be with you, but I'll be

179
00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:12,240
with you soon. And I just want to say that

180
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,480
nobody did more for me than Jolie, and there's nobody

181
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:20,360
better than Erica, and you are the greatest people on earth.

182
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:22,919
We want in a landslide and we're going to continue

183
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,840
to do it. And I just want to thank everybody.

184
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,919
You got out there and they voted, and they trussed doorbells,

185
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:32,679
and I just want to thank you all. And I

186
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,759
hope my son's doing a good job representing me. Otherwise

187
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:36,639
I'll have to say.

188
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,039
Speaker 4: You fired, DoD you fire.

189
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, a complete stupid, stupid calling. Now, what was supposed

190
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,919
to be a show of strength for the GOP and MAGA, instead,

191
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,440
like I said, exposed a movement that is fractured, fractured

192
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:59,960
by hate, by grievance, by paranoia, and by NonStop internal warfare,

193
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,919
and all while Trump pulled US closer to war with

194
00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:10,080
these Venezuela strikes, with the seizing of these oil Venezuelan

195
00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:14,720
oil tankers and so on, as his regime is attempting

196
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,279
to yet seize another one off the coast of Venezuela

197
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,960
over the weekend. In fact, I write about it in

198
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:25,960
my sub stack, which I call America's Pirate in Chief.

199
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,000
A president right never thought in my life I'd lived

200
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,240
long enough to see the President of the United States

201
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,600
cosplay as Blackbeard. But here we are President Trump, commander

202
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,799
in chief, the guy that was on the telephone being

203
00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:44,360
held up to Don Junior's chest Trump commander in Chief,

204
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,840
and the part time grievance archaeologist is literally right now

205
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,679
roaming the Caribbean like a reality TV pirate king, seizing

206
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:58,679
oil tankers and declaring blockades as if international law were

207
00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:02,080
just another prenup that he never read. You know, I

208
00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:05,279
finish my sub stack by turning around and saying history

209
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,080
does not usually remember pirate kings kindly, and it really

210
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,600
forgets the wars that they accidentally start, and that's the

211
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,039
danger because the actions that he's taking in terms of

212
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:24,879
angering China, Russia, Iran, North Korea as well, as I said,

213
00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:30,200
rarely forgets the wars that they accidentally start. And as always,

214
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:34,399
thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching.
