1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: And welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our

00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,080
continued journey to five hundred thousand subscribers. Let's get there.

Let's get there, so hit subscribe, watch, keep sending me

00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:13,640
your comments and share with friends because the nonsense just

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,160
not stop it. Like today, I want to talk about

6
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:21,879
MAGA talking points. Yesterday, Trump, for example, was on Air

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,000
Force one taking questions and a reporter straight away from

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,480
the aforementioned talking points and ask Trump if he thought

9
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:36,119
Putin was disrespecting him by attacking Ukraine. You're not going

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,600
to believe his response. Play the clip this week, respecting

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,399
you by attacking your pin when you're find out disrespecting

12
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:47,079
you by attacking you, bring your riving.

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: What did he do? Well?

14
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: He's attacking your crame?

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: Is he disrespecting me? Who?

16
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:54,799
Speaker 3: Who are you as him?

17
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: Michael burnout the.

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,119
Speaker 2: Washington Uh, you lost a lot of credit ability? Go ahead?

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:01,759
What else.

20
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:06,159
Speaker 1: Again? Why is that a possible? Why is that a

21
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:08,719
bad question? You don't like the question, So now you

22
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:13,000
lose credibility. Trump was then asked if he was worried

23
00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:16,640
about a recession, and once again, you're not going to

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,799
believe this outrageous response that we got from him. It's

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,159
almost as if, though you don't like the question, I'm

26
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:26,079
not answering. Play the clip.

27
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: From where are we Are? We just go if we're

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,079
just about ready to land.

29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,159
Speaker 4: If you work about a recession, I'll ask you and

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,719
you kind of hesitated.

31
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:39,599
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, of course you hesitated? Who knows?

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,680
All I know is is we're going to take in

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,239
hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs and we're going

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,480
to become so rich. You're not going to know where

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000
to spend all that money. I'm telling you. You just watch.

36
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:52,680
We're gonna have jobs, We're gonna have open factories. It's

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,599
gonna be great. And the plane is landing, and we

38
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:56,799
got to thank you for a lot of good questions. Okay,

39
00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,319
thank you very much everybody tonight again.

40
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:03,319
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost it's almost like like a stand

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,000
up comic. Seriously, and I want to talk about it.

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,479
So after seeing this yesterday and then watching the news

43
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,159
this morning, I ended up writing a substack and I

44
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:21,080
call that substack truth optional, gaslighting mandatory, and I posted it.

45
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:26,919
What was it about? I wrote about on CNN Representative

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,360
Nicole mallyattacis her interview now let me just be clear.

47
00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:37,159
Mali Attackis is a Republican from New York, all right,

48
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:41,560
and what was it that I found so offensive? What

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,479
I found so offensive is the fact that she is

50
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:51,280
continuing to spew the MAGA talking points and lies. Now again,

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,520
I understand nobody understands it better than I. Every single day,

52
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:02,280
all surrogates receive MAGA talking points memorandum. If you are

53
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,039
going to be on television, if you're going to be

54
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:08,919
speaking to a journalist, anytime that you are making a statement,

55
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:11,800
these are the terms that you need to use. This

56
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,439
is the way you need to respond. In that way,

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,919
all the Republicans stay on message. It's something that the

58
00:03:19,039 --> 00:03:23,120
Democrats need to learn how to do. Now. During of course,

59
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:28,520
this ridiculous interview, Mallley Attackis tries to blame Joe Biden

60
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:34,520
for the possible recession. It's truly incredible, because nobody talked

61
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:40,280
about a possible recession during the four year Biden administration. Now,

62
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,479
all of a sudden, we have tariffs. Now, all of

63
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,639
a sudden, we have cutting of government, We have so

64
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,439
much nonsense going on. They're talking about a recession. Fuck it,

65
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Blame it on Biden.

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: Play the clip given the uncertainty that President Trump's tariff

67
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,879
approach is creating, and given that tariffs often prove inflation.

68
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,840
Donald Trump was asked over the weekend about a possible

69
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:07,599
recession happening this year. He was not one hundred percent

70
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,759
confident that he could stave off a recession in twenty

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,240
twenty five. If that is the risk that he is

72
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:17,800
running with this kind of whiplash and environment of business

73
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:21,120
uncertainty while prices go up, is that a risk you

74
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,959
think is worth it.

75
00:04:25,439 --> 00:04:28,759
Speaker 3: Well, there's been talk about a recession for well over

76
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,720
the past year. This is something that has been a

77
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680
threat going back to the Biden administration. We were anticipating

78
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,319
some type of recession and slow growth. Why because of

79
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,680
a lot of the inflationary spending, a lot of the

80
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:46,240
dismantling of energy policy in this country that really drove

81
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,439
up the cost of doing business. I think this and

82
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:52,199
also the regulations that the Biden administration have put in place.

83
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,600
So I think that we have a real opportunity here

84
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:58,720
to stop the recession that was supposed to be coming

85
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,000
for the past year. And I think the most important

86
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,600
thing right now.

87
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,959
Speaker 4: But the recession they're talking about now would be one

88
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:09,759
induced by the actions of this present You can't.

89
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:14,639
Speaker 3: You can't disregard the damage that the Biden administration did

90
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,120
to our economy with their regulations, with their inflationary spending.

91
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah again, part of the talking points memo. Please my

92
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:27,680
friends understand, I know what's going on here. I was

93
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:31,720
there in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. I was there. I

94
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,920
used to receive those same talking points memo. I used

95
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,959
to use them when I would go on CNN, or

96
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,399
I would go on MSNBC or Fox News. Everybody stays

97
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,959
on the same message. It's nothing to do with Donald Trump,

98
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,240
has nothing to do with the tariffs, has nothing to

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,920
do with any of the policy things, or I can't

100
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,800
even call on policy programs that they're trying to put

101
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,079
out there. This all has to do with the Biden administration.

102
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,279
It's unbelievable. Then she was asked about companies saying that

103
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:06,879
they're going to have to raise prices because of tariffs,

104
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:12,120
something again that Democrats need to put out there. More

105
00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:16,439
and more. You are going to be paying more everywhere,

106
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,959
not just in the grocery stores, not just in the pumps,

107
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,879
right at the gas stations, everywhere you go. Anything that

108
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:27,439
you purchase. You are going to be paying more because

109
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,040
of tariffs. It is going to hit you in your pocket.

110
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,560
But they don't do it effectively, not nearly as effective

111
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,519
as the Republican maga lies play the.

112
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 4: Clip targeting Best Buy said last week, the prices are

113
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,160
going up in direct relation to the tariffs. Is that

114
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:47,240
a good thing for your constituents on Staten Island and

115
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:47,480
be on.

116
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,399
Speaker 3: But the TIFFs, the terriffs haven't even gone into a fact,

117
00:06:52,439 --> 00:07:03,199
they've been postponed. So no, some of the first yeah, well,

118
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:05,720
but not the ones in Mexico and Canada and the

119
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:09,000
tariffs in China. They were in effect over the last

120
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,639
four years.

121
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,399
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is increasing tariffs on China.

122
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:23,399
Speaker 3: President Biden actually kept and increased tariffs on China. Okay,

123
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Trump came in a slight change increase there, but these

124
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,639
are tariffs that have been in place all through the

125
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,079
Biden administration. It was a fifty percent tariff that Joe

126
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,439
Biden kept in place, plus an additional twenty I think

127
00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:40,480
twenty five percent on particular sectors, particularly energy, that he

128
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,279
had put in place. So I mean, you want to

129
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:45,560
blame President Trump for he's been there for one month.

130
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,439
He never imposed those tariffs that he said he would

131
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:50,040
on Mexico and Canada.

132
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: First of all, he's there almost two months, all right,

133
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,519
as of the seventeenth. In another week from now, it'll

134
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,720
be two months. Putting that aside, Nicole, Yes, I apologize.

135
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:08,560
Representative Malley attackis, eighty percent of all of our goods

136
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:13,800
comes from China. He already imposed, as Kate Baldwin was saying,

137
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,839
he already imposed a tariff again, an additional tariff on China,

138
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,079
and there's reciprocal tariffs now being placed on American goods.

139
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920
So don't blame it on Joe Biden. You want some

140
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,600
of the blame on Biden. You cannot extricate Donald Trump

141
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:34,480
from this move, you just can't. Now, mal the attackers

142
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:39,720
says that Canada wanted to remove Justin Trudeau because of

143
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:44,399
the tariffs, that this removal of Trudeau is the direct

144
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:50,039
result of Donald Trump and his tariffs or the threat

145
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,360
of tariffs on Canada. Not true, but I'm still going

146
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:57,440
to show you the clip play it now.

147
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,759
Speaker 3: In fact, he's getting very good outcomes and respect, so

148
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:03,279
much so that the Prime Minister of Canada is being

149
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,320
driven out by his own party.

150
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:09,519
Speaker 1: But what I not true in fact, he's been, you know,

151
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,840
wildly unpopular for a while. In fact, a lot of

152
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,879
the fighting that he's been doing with Trump raised him

153
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:20,120
in popularity. But he's been going through his own political

154
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:25,159
malstrom for many years now, many many years. Lastly, I

155
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,320
want to just finish with the lies. She then lies

156
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:33,360
about the amount of fentanyl coming in through Canada. Now,

157
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,399
let me be clear. Fentanyl is a killer, there is

158
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,080
no doubt about that. But here's the facts that we know.

159
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,240
And again it's not Michael Cohen facts, it's facts put

160
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:53,039
out by our government. Yes, fentanyl is killing thousands of thousands,

161
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,840
one hundred thousand Americans, absolutely, but to blame the fentanyl

162
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:05,600
crossing through our northern border is absolutely inaccurate. In fact,

163
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:11,279
according to the United States government, approximately forty pounds of

164
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:17,159
fentanyl came through the northern border Canada. And when they

165
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,200
put that into perspective, forty pounds is equal to approximately

166
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,519
one suitcase. The bulk of it is coming from our

167
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,360
southern border via Mexico. Why they want to continue to

168
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:34,960
blame Canada for this, I don't know the answer. And

169
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:37,679
why do they want to keep doing this when already

170
00:10:38,159 --> 00:10:42,120
most of America knows the truth they want to whitewash

171
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,080
the truth. They are lying to us, to our faces,

172
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:47,960
thinking that the more that they lie, the more that

173
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,080
the lie becomes the truth. Repeat it, repeat it, repeated,

174
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,559
and ultimately people will somehow forget reality. They will forget

175
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,840
the truth, and they will own the lie. Coming out

176
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,200
of this MAGA GOP play.

177
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: The clip say, is that we're getting the border secure,

178
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,039
We're getting a fatanyl under control. We're seeing troops from

179
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,720
other countries being put at the border to help with security.

180
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:18,399
Canada implemented and pointed the trug cartels as state sponsors

181
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:20,879
of terrorism. This is all very important to the future

182
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:24,000
of this country. Our young people who are being poisoned

183
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,279
by fetanyl. We need them to be productive and contribute

184
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:32,919
to our economy, not stoned and perhaps killed because of

185
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,919
fetanyl thats coming in over our border.

186
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me again turn around and say, as I

187
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:44,120
wrote in my sub stack, this is all gas lighting,

188
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:49,679
This is all bullshit, and we cannot allow this bullshit

189
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:53,000
to stand. Listen, there are things that I will turn

190
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:55,679
around in one hundred percent agree that Donald Trump is

191
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,080
doing okay, that he's doing well in fact, but why lie?

192
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:04,879
Why keep promoting the lies over and over and over. Why,

193
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,240
because he's infallible, He's incapable of making a mistake. That's

194
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,600
the problem here. They want you to believe just because

195
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:16,919
Donald Trump says it, and just because it gets repeated

196
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,440
and regurgitated over and over by individuals like Representative Malley

197
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,519
Attackers makes it factual. It does not. It goes to

198
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:32,039
show you the level of stupidity and the level of misinformation,

199
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:38,799
disinformation and malinformation coming from the MAGA Republican side. That's

200
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:43,559
why I keep telling you stay here, join this community, subscribe,
