1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Sadly. By now, I'm sure each and every one of 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,360 you have all seen the horrific video of ICE agents 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,720 attacking and killing Alex Preddi, thirty seven year old man 4 00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:15,320 was murdered by ICE this weekend. Preddi was an icy 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,640 you nurse at a VA hospital, a government agent if 6 00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:21,519 you think about it, and all the stories that are 7 00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:25,320 coming out about him show how he was a selfless 8 00:00:25,399 --> 00:00:30,559 man who died protecting people and fighting for our freedom. 9 00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:36,679 And again, sadly, maga's response has been inhumane, literally labeling 10 00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:41,079 Preddy a domestic terrorist and spreading lies about the facts 11 00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:44,600 of the incident. Now, while all this is happening, our 12 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,000 President Well Trump is unhappy with how the situation is 13 00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:52,840 being handled and posted this this morning that he is 14 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,359 now sending Tom Homan to Minneapolis. Let me show you 15 00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:00,679 what he posted in it, He writes, I am sending 16 00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:04,079 Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,480 in that area, but knows and likes many of the 18 00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:09,719 people there. Tom is a tough but fair and will 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,000 report directly to me. Separately, a major investigation is going 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000 on with respect to the massive twenty billion dollar plus 21 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,599 welfare fraud that has taken place in Minnesota and is 22 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,519 at least partially responsible for the violent, organized protests going 23 00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:29,519 on in the streets. Additionally, the DOJ and Congress are 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,319 looking at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who left Somalia at nothing 25 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,239 and is now reportedly worth more than forty four million dollars. 26 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,840 Time will tell all thank you for your attention to 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:48,280 this matter. President DJT. I'm blown away, as I'm sure 28 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,239 each and every one of you are. I can't understand 29 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:56,920 why why he put out that post? Who allowed him 30 00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:00,359 to put out that post? Welcome back to The Michael 31 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,079 Cohen Show on a continued journey to one million subscribers. 32 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:06,640 And Yes, while last week we had a setback, this 33 00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:11,000 weekend we started regaining the momentum and real momentum thanks 34 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,159 to you. So let's keep the momentum. Hit, subscribe, watch, comment, 35 00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:16,800 and share because this is sort of crazy. It's got 36 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,560 to stop now. On a programming note, I also want 37 00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:22,599 to let each and every one of you know that 38 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,000 while Maya Culpa and political Beatdown will no longer be 39 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,560 shown on the Midas Touch Network, the shows they're not 40 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,840 going anywhere. They will be now shown on my YouTube channel, 41 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,120 The Michael Cohen show and maya Kulpa anywhere and everywhere 42 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,879 you get your podcasts. But now back to the news. 43 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,199 Trump and his sick of fans, of course, have literally 44 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,000 handled these ice murders horribly. No other way to describe it. 45 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,479 Horribly isn't even maybe a strong enough adjective. This is 46 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,120 what he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview 47 00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:01,479 just last night. In it, he writes, Trump says the 48 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,800 administration is reviewing everything about Minneapolis shooting. In an interview, 49 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,080 the president says immigration enforcement officers will at some point 50 00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:14,400 leave the area, but that couldn't happen fast enough. He 51 00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:18,599 goes on to say the President criticized Preddy, the thirty 52 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,800 seven year old who was killed by a Federal Border 53 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,199 Patrol agent Saturday morning on a Minneapolis street, for carrying 54 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,479 a gun during protest activity. I don't like any shooting. 55 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,919 I don't like it, Trump added, But I don't like 56 00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:34,800 it when somebody goes into a protest and he's got 57 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,000 a very powerful, fully loaded gun with two magazines loaded 58 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,360 up with bullets. Also, that doesn't play good either. And 59 00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:47,120 finally he turns around and writes, at some point we 60 00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:51,479 will leave. We've done They've done a phenomenal job. He 61 00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:55,479 said Trump didn't offer a timeframe for when agents might depart, 62 00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,560 and asked if agents would leave soon. He praised what 63 00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:02,159 the administration had done already in Minnesota and said, we'll 64 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,439 leave a different group of people there for the financial fraud. Again, 65 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,919 what a what an absolute terrible, terrible statement to make. 66 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,959 He conflates two completely different things. If you believe that 67 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,240 there's a fraud, and I'm not going to say that 68 00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:25,600 there isn't, I don't know. But if you think there's 69 00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:30,160 a fraud, sure investigated, But you don't investigate it with 70 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,519 guys with walking around with ar fifteens and flap jackets 71 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,120 and masks and bare spray and irritant and rubber bullets 72 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:45,600 and pepper bullets literally shooting, literally killing two innocent Minnesota citizens, 73 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,319 Americans dead right there in the street for no other reason. 74 00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:57,480 Then ICE just they're just incapable of handling this, as 75 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,040 they call it, Operation now. ICE is Greg Bavino. He 76 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,800 tried to claim that Border patrol agents are actually really 77 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,079 the victims here. Play the clip with respect. 78 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: It feels as though in some ways you're blaming the 79 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,399 victim here. Uh, the victims are the Border of Batral agiance. 80 00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:18,920 I'm not blaming the border patal agents. The victim are 81 00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:23,639 the border batal agents. The suspect put himself in that situation. 82 00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:25,519 The victims are the border batal agents there. 83 00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:29,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dana did not let him go, by the way, 84 00:05:29,959 --> 00:05:33,120 I watched that interview and afterwards I literally felt like 85 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,279 I wanted to throw up. You know, as somebody that 86 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,199 had sat in Trump's orbit for almost a decade and 87 00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:43,319 a half, it has to be acknowledged that Trump is 88 00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:46,079 all about branding. I mean, that's really what the Trump 89 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:52,879 organization was, real estate and opportunity branding company and Steven Miller. 90 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,720 As I write in my sub stack of today, Stephen 91 00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:02,839 Miller's deadly Ice branding is tanking Trump every single day. 92 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120 You know, I write that the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, 93 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,439 the thirty seven year old intensive care nurse who worked 94 00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:14,160 at a VA hospital caring for veterans, has detonated straight 95 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,000 through the administration's messaging firewall. Pretty wasn't a gang member, 96 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,000 he wasn't an undocumented immigrant, he wasn't threatening anyone. He 97 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,600 was an American citizen legally carrying a firearm, recording Ice 98 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,600 officers with his cell phone, and today he is dead 99 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:42,519 and he's ware the branding catastrophe becomes undeniable. And you 100 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,279 know that it's undeniable when even Marjorie Taylor Green is 101 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,600 waving the red flag. Now, you know, I've told you 102 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,160 countless times about the talking points that get spread around 103 00:06:55,199 --> 00:06:59,399 the Trump camp, all the enablers, all the surrogates. Going on. 104 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:05,560 This weekend we saw a clearly obvious example, and I 105 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,279 do want to show you a clip comparing what DHS 106 00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:13,720 Christine Nome and ICES Greg Bavino were saying in their 107 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:18,120 press conferences. It's insane. Play the clip. 108 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,079 Speaker 3: An individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a nine 109 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,000 millimeters Femi automatic. 110 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: Hand automatic handgun. 111 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: The officers attempted to disarm these individual, but the armed 112 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:38,399 suspect reacted violently and for the loss of his fellow officers. 113 00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:44,439 Fire Defensive medics were on the scene immediately and attempted 114 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,720 to deliver medical age to the subject, but he was pronounced. 115 00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: The pronounced at the scene. 116 00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:54,439 Speaker 3: The suspect also had two magazines with in them and 117 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,360 they were all rounds. He also had no idea this 118 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,839 looks like such a way where were an endividual arrived 119 00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:04,480 with the individual once maimum damage on individuals, And. 120 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: I want to be crystal clear, Stephen Miller is one 121 00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:15,040 hundred percent behind that insane rhetoric. And this is what 122 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,279 he posted after Alex Predi was murdered. Let me show 123 00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:22,800 you what he said. It would be assassin try to 124 00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:27,199 murder federal law enforcement, and the official Democrat account sides 125 00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:31,639 with the terrorists. You know, I want to be crystal 126 00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:37,399 clear about something in Trump world. Branding matters because, as 127 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,600 in any brand, it shapes trust, and right now Stephen 128 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,480 Miller is eroding it faster than any Democrat ever. Could 129 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:52,080 you see? Trump doesn't need to abandon border security. Actually, 130 00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:56,159 most Americans support it. They believe in strong borders. They 131 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,879 don't believe people should just be able to come and 132 00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:02,559 go as they see fit. What he does need is 133 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,399 to abandon the aesthetic of cruelty that Stephen Miller has 134 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,120 welded to it, because once the public associates your administration 135 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,039 with needless bloodshed, constitutional shortcuts, and street level chaos, there's 136 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,519 no amount of spin can fix it. None. To have 137 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,679 these two reading off of the same script, the same 138 00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:32,120 insane rhetoric, it's got to tell you exactly the fear 139 00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:39,759 that they have and the angst that the Ice agents 140 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,159 who are murdering Americans in the street in front of people, 141 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,879 all of whom have their cameras rolling, really has to 142 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,480 concern them. But you know, not all Democrats are joining 143 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,159 Maga's unhinged behavior. 144 00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: No. 145 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: In fact, this was another thing that blew my mind. 146 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,840 Fox is Maria Bartiroma, who you know, I don't care 147 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:09,399 for at all. She is rarely, ever, ever offside with 148 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:14,519 the Trump administration. But even she is concerned, even she 149 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,840 is upset about the murder of Alex Pretty play the clip. 150 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,519 Speaker 2: But how was he threatening border patrol? You've collected the evidence, 151 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,320 you said, right, you have the handgun in. 152 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: Your possession, that's right. 153 00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 2: And how was he using that handgun in terms of 154 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,159 threatening border patrol? 155 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: What was the threat? He had his camera right, he 156 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:36,960 was filming it. 157 00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 4: That's something that I let the DHS and the prosecutors 158 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:43,000 because they are the ones investigating in that case. 159 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 5: I don't want to stylize that evidence. But I trust 160 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,000 the men and women on the ground who are trained professor. 161 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: Okay, anytime that they don't want to answer, anytime that 162 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,159 they cannot answer a question, what they do all of 163 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,919 a sudden, hands up, We don't want to talk about 164 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,960 the investigation. They just called them it to mastic terrorists. 165 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,440 They said that he had loaded magazines, ready to go, 166 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,759 armed and ready. But now they don't want to talk 167 00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:12,919 about anything. They when Maria Bartiroma again, Maria Bartiroma turns 168 00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:17,960 around and puts Cash Patel on the chopping block and says, 169 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:21,559 how can you turn around and say that he was 170 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:30,000 doing anything other than legally videotaping the scene. Well, once again, 171 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,279 now they're not going to talk about it. Even Tim Poole, 172 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,000 the right wing commentator, he didn't side with Trump on 173 00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:40,200 this one either. Let me show you what he said. 174 00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:45,000 He turned around, he wrote empty hand, then gun in hand. 175 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,600 Appears the man may have been disarmed before being shot. 176 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,000 This is a chain of events in a greater conflict. 177 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,399 Neither side cares at this point what justifies it or doesn't. 178 00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:00,000 I don't see Trump winning this one. And he's right 179 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,000 in fact again in my substext Stephen Miller's deadly ice branding. 180 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,240 Stephen Miller isn't enforcing policy anymore, That's not what this 181 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,279 is about. He's literally turning Trump's presidency into the worst 182 00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:19,000 ad campaign of Trump's political life. As I finish, I say, 183 00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:22,279 ignore the warning signs and Steven Miller, he doesn't just 184 00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,360 sink the message. He burns the brand to the ground, 185 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:30,799 and he's going to take the presidency with it. Let 186 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,120 me be crystal clear about another thing. Even the poll 187 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,840 numbers prove that Trump is pushing the absolute wrong narrative. 188 00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:40,960 Let me show you what it says in it. It 189 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,360 turns on says Trump's approval on immigration. That was his 190 00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:50,840 strong suit. Fifty nine percent disapprove, thirty nine percent do approve. 191 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,960 How about that almost sixty forty that was his strong suit. Now, 192 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,600 despite the numbers, Trump's lackeys, they continue to deflect. They 193 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,480 keep telling you doing great. Greg Bavino, as an example, 194 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:13,159 was asked if he plans to take accountability for these debts. Now, 195 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,159 I don't want to shock you, but I guarantee you'd 196 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,720 probably guess what his response was. Play the clip. Mister 197 00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:20,200 Charles R. 198 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 6: Agency Ice, we'vousing two separate people shot and killed by 199 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,759 your officers. 200 00:13:25,159 --> 00:13:28,399 Speaker 1: Within seventeen days. Do either of you plan on taking 201 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,240 any accountability for those actions? 202 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:31,919 Speaker 4: Two suspects? 203 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 6: All right, you're correct, two suspects have them shot and 204 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,559 suspects that assault, delay of struct or threaten a law 205 00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:46,519 enforcement officer's life. It goes back to the choices that 206 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,840 we just talked about, when individuals make poor choices, poor decisions, 207 00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:55,200 come into a law enforcement situation, and active law enforcement 208 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,600 situation conspire to come into that situation. 209 00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 4: Whether that's based on ideology, we don't know that'll be 210 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,720 in the investigation that we just talked about. That's what 211 00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:09,000 we based second decisions on. And our law enforcement officers 212 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,279 are saying they man hold on, they managed to come 213 00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:14,200 home at the end of ship. 214 00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: Okay, this guy is sick. There's no other way to 215 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,320 describe it. He is sick. He is mentally deranged. And 216 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,519 I'm going to give you a little prediction. I think 217 00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:27,840 Christy nom I think Greg Bavino. I think they all 218 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,840 get the and Kesh Patel all get shit canned within 219 00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:35,200 the next sixty days. Now, I do want to end 220 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,240 on a clip of Governor Tim Walls. Breaks your heart 221 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:43,159 when you listen to the guy explaining how the situation 222 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:47,960 in Minneapolis has spiraled out of control. Play the clip. 223 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,799 Speaker 5: We're no longer having a political debate, We're having a 224 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,840 moral debate. We all want secure borders and immigration enforpacement 225 00:14:55,919 --> 00:14:59,240 that prioritizes criminals. And I want to thank the press, 226 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,919 especially the local press, who has done a deep dive 227 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,600 to show that's exactly what Minnesota does. But what you're 228 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:11,120 saying is not common sense, lawful or humane enforcement. That's 229 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,639 not what this occupation is about. 230 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:19,039 Speaker 1: It's not. It's not. There's not one person that I 231 00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:22,840 know other than maybe Greg Bavino who saw that video 232 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,080 in the way that he does. This is a group 233 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,799 of thugs, no different than a mob, no different than 234 00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:37,000 a murder in any city in any state, a gang murder. 235 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,600 They swarmed this guy, they beat him, and then they 236 00:15:40,679 --> 00:15:44,440 killed him, and then worse, they left him for dead 237 00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:49,919 in the street for a while before taking any action 238 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,840 to try to save his life, if that was even possible. 239 00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:00,159 And this, this has to stop, And as always, thanks 240 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,559 for listening.
