Speaker 1: And welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our
continued journey to five hundred thousand subscribers. Let's get there.
Let's get there, so hit subscribe, watch, keep sending me
your comments and share with friends because the nonsense just
not stop it. Like today, I want to talk about
MAGA talking points. Yesterday, Trump, for example, was on Air
Force one taking questions and a reporter straight away from
the aforementioned talking points and ask Trump if he thought
Putin was disrespecting him by attacking Ukraine. You're not going
to believe his response. Play the clip this week, respecting
you by attacking your pin when you're find out disrespecting
you by attacking you, bring your riving.
Speaker 2: What did he do? Well?
Speaker 1: He's attacking your crame?
Speaker 2: Is he disrespecting me? Who?
Speaker 3: Who are you as him?
Speaker 4: Michael burnout the.
Speaker 2: Washington Uh, you lost a lot of credit ability? Go ahead?
What else.
Speaker 1: Again? Why is that a possible? Why is that a
bad question? You don't like the question, So now you
lose credibility. Trump was then asked if he was worried
about a recession, and once again, you're not going to
believe this outrageous response that we got from him. It's
almost as if, though you don't like the question, I'm
not answering. Play the clip.
Speaker 2: From where are we Are? We just go if we're
just about ready to land.
Speaker 4: If you work about a recession, I'll ask you and
you kind of hesitated.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, of course you hesitated? Who knows?
All I know is is we're going to take in
hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs and we're going
to become so rich. You're not going to know where
to spend all that money. I'm telling you. You just watch.
We're gonna have jobs, We're gonna have open factories. It's
gonna be great. And the plane is landing, and we
got to thank you for a lot of good questions. Okay,
thank you very much everybody tonight again.
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost it's almost like like a stand
up comic. Seriously, and I want to talk about it.
So after seeing this yesterday and then watching the news
this morning, I ended up writing a substack and I
call that substack truth optional, gaslighting mandatory, and I posted it.
What was it about? I wrote about on CNN Representative
Nicole mallyattacis her interview now let me just be clear.
Mali Attackis is a Republican from New York, all right,
and what was it that I found so offensive? What
I found so offensive is the fact that she is
continuing to spew the MAGA talking points and lies. Now again,
I understand nobody understands it better than I. Every single day,
all surrogates receive MAGA talking points memorandum. If you are
going to be on television, if you're going to be
speaking to a journalist, anytime that you are making a statement,
these are the terms that you need to use. This
is the way you need to respond. In that way,
all the Republicans stay on message. It's something that the
Democrats need to learn how to do. Now. During of course,
this ridiculous interview, Mallley Attackis tries to blame Joe Biden
for the possible recession. It's truly incredible, because nobody talked
about a possible recession during the four year Biden administration. Now,
all of a sudden, we have tariffs. Now, all of
a sudden, we have cutting of government, We have so
much nonsense going on. They're talking about a recession. Fuck it,
Blame it on Biden.
Speaker 4: Play the clip given the uncertainty that President Trump's tariff
approach is creating, and given that tariffs often prove inflation.
Donald Trump was asked over the weekend about a possible
recession happening this year. He was not one hundred percent
confident that he could stave off a recession in twenty
twenty five. If that is the risk that he is
running with this kind of whiplash and environment of business
uncertainty while prices go up, is that a risk you
think is worth it.
Speaker 3: Well, there's been talk about a recession for well over
the past year. This is something that has been a
threat going back to the Biden administration. We were anticipating
some type of recession and slow growth. Why because of
a lot of the inflationary spending, a lot of the
dismantling of energy policy in this country that really drove
up the cost of doing business. I think this and
also the regulations that the Biden administration have put in place.
So I think that we have a real opportunity here
to stop the recession that was supposed to be coming
for the past year. And I think the most important
thing right now.
Speaker 4: But the recession they're talking about now would be one
induced by the actions of this present You can't.
Speaker 3: You can't disregard the damage that the Biden administration did
to our economy with their regulations, with their inflationary spending.
Speaker 1: Yeah again, part of the talking points memo. Please my
friends understand, I know what's going on here. I was
there in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. I was there. I
used to receive those same talking points memo. I used
to use them when I would go on CNN, or
I would go on MSNBC or Fox News. Everybody stays
on the same message. It's nothing to do with Donald Trump,
has nothing to do with the tariffs, has nothing to
do with any of the policy things, or I can't
even call on policy programs that they're trying to put
out there. This all has to do with the Biden administration.
It's unbelievable. Then she was asked about companies saying that
they're going to have to raise prices because of tariffs,
something again that Democrats need to put out there. More
and more. You are going to be paying more everywhere,
not just in the grocery stores, not just in the pumps,
right at the gas stations, everywhere you go. Anything that
you purchase. You are going to be paying more because
of tariffs. It is going to hit you in your pocket.
But they don't do it effectively, not nearly as effective
as the Republican maga lies play the.
Speaker 4: Clip targeting Best Buy said last week, the prices are
going up in direct relation to the tariffs. Is that
a good thing for your constituents on Staten Island and
be on.
Speaker 3: But the TIFFs, the terriffs haven't even gone into a fact,
they've been postponed. So no, some of the first yeah, well,
but not the ones in Mexico and Canada and the
tariffs in China. They were in effect over the last
four years.
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is increasing tariffs on China.
Speaker 3: President Biden actually kept and increased tariffs on China. Okay,
Trump came in a slight change increase there, but these
are tariffs that have been in place all through the
Biden administration. It was a fifty percent tariff that Joe
Biden kept in place, plus an additional twenty I think
twenty five percent on particular sectors, particularly energy, that he
had put in place. So I mean, you want to
blame President Trump for he's been there for one month.
He never imposed those tariffs that he said he would
on Mexico and Canada.
Speaker 1: First of all, he's there almost two months, all right,
as of the seventeenth. In another week from now, it'll
be two months. Putting that aside, Nicole, Yes, I apologize.
Representative Malley attackis, eighty percent of all of our goods
comes from China. He already imposed, as Kate Baldwin was saying,
he already imposed a tariff again, an additional tariff on China,
and there's reciprocal tariffs now being placed on American goods.
So don't blame it on Joe Biden. You want some
of the blame on Biden. You cannot extricate Donald Trump
from this move, you just can't. Now, mal the attackers
says that Canada wanted to remove Justin Trudeau because of
the tariffs, that this removal of Trudeau is the direct
result of Donald Trump and his tariffs or the threat
of tariffs on Canada. Not true, but I'm still going
to show you the clip play it now.
Speaker 3: In fact, he's getting very good outcomes and respect, so
much so that the Prime Minister of Canada is being
driven out by his own party.
Speaker 1: But what I not true in fact, he's been, you know,
wildly unpopular for a while. In fact, a lot of
the fighting that he's been doing with Trump raised him
in popularity. But he's been going through his own political
malstrom for many years now, many many years. Lastly, I
want to just finish with the lies. She then lies
about the amount of fentanyl coming in through Canada. Now,
let me be clear. Fentanyl is a killer, there is
no doubt about that. But here's the facts that we know.
And again it's not Michael Cohen facts, it's facts put
out by our government. Yes, fentanyl is killing thousands of thousands,
one hundred thousand Americans, absolutely, but to blame the fentanyl
crossing through our northern border is absolutely inaccurate. In fact,
according to the United States government, approximately forty pounds of
fentanyl came through the northern border Canada. And when they
put that into perspective, forty pounds is equal to approximately
one suitcase. The bulk of it is coming from our
southern border via Mexico. Why they want to continue to
blame Canada for this, I don't know the answer. And
why do they want to keep doing this when already
most of America knows the truth they want to whitewash
the truth. They are lying to us, to our faces,
thinking that the more that they lie, the more that
the lie becomes the truth. Repeat it, repeat it, repeated,
and ultimately people will somehow forget reality. They will forget
the truth, and they will own the lie. Coming out
of this MAGA GOP play.
Speaker 3: The clip say, is that we're getting the border secure,
We're getting a fatanyl under control. We're seeing troops from
other countries being put at the border to help with security.
Canada implemented and pointed the trug cartels as state sponsors
of terrorism. This is all very important to the future
of this country. Our young people who are being poisoned
by fetanyl. We need them to be productive and contribute
to our economy, not stoned and perhaps killed because of
fetanyl thats coming in over our border.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me again turn around and say, as I
wrote in my sub stack, this is all gas lighting,
This is all bullshit, and we cannot allow this bullshit
to stand. Listen, there are things that I will turn
around in one hundred percent agree that Donald Trump is
doing okay, that he's doing well in fact, but why lie?
Why keep promoting the lies over and over and over. Why,
because he's infallible, He's incapable of making a mistake. That's
the problem here. They want you to believe just because
Donald Trump says it, and just because it gets repeated
and regurgitated over and over by individuals like Representative Malley
Attackers makes it factual. It does not. It goes to
show you the level of stupidity and the level of misinformation,
disinformation and malinformation coming from the MAGA Republican side. That's
why I keep telling you stay here, join this community, subscribe,
watch common share, because again this nonsense, these lies, the promotion,
the promulgation, the regurgitation of these lies, They're not stopping.
And I plan on being a voice of truth 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
