What happened at the latest cabinet meeting and why was it chaotic?

Don Lemon 0:13
Time now for the Lemon Cohen Report. We missed each other last week because I was away for the holiday.
Michael Cohen 0:20
No, you were getting your teeth. You were doing something with your teeth. Let's see them choppers. Oh, they're looking good, man. They're pretty.
Don Lemon 0:29
You got some pretty teeth. Thank you, brother. I paid a lot for them. So let me ask you, there's been a lot happening in the news. I don't even know where we start. Should we just start with today?
Michael Cohen 0:39
I think we have no choice because... It's not even a daily chaos. It's almost every three, four hours. There's something new that's thrown at the American people that just, I don't know, that is not just newsworthy, but in and of itself, under any other normal circumstance, would be a major, major scenario. Take, for example, not more than an hour ago, they concluded that The last cabinet meeting of the year. And with that, we all should say, thank God.
Don Lemon 1:22
Is this the one where he was sleeping?
Michael Cohen 1:25
He's not sleeping. All right. Let me enlighten our viewers here. Enlighten us, Michael. Unless he's talking or unless you are talking about him,
Unknown 1:41
He's not interested.
Michael Cohen 1:42
He closes his eyes in boredom.
Unknown 1:45
Oh, boy.
Michael Cohen 1:46
All right. That's what it is. He's just bored. So, for example, when RFK Jr. was talking about medicine and what he's doing. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you talking about that? Do you not see the king is at the table? Now, enough of me talking about me. I want all of you to talk about me. And none, none kissed ass today better than sweet Kristi Noem, who sat there and actually told Donald that thanks to him, he was able to keep the hurricanes away. There were no hurricanes this year. All right. Thanks to you and your red Sharpie. because you can move a hurricane pattern with a red Sharpie. I didn't know if you know that, Don. You're not a smart guy, Don. You're not smart. You're fake news. And you work for an organization that was fake news.
Michael Cohen 2:51
They're all dummies. You can move a weather pattern with a Sharpie.
Unknown 2:56
Oh, my gosh.
Michael Cohen 2:58
She then turned around and said that thanks to him, I'm blowing up these 23 odd boats that he saved every American that more than 300 million, he saved hundreds of millions of people would have overdosed and died as a result of cocaine. I'm not so sure of that.

How did attendees react to Trump's behavior and insults on Air Force One?

Michael Cohen 3:25
I know you'd maybe saved a couple hundred thousand people from having a good time, but dying from the cocaine, I'm not 100% sure about that.
Don Lemon 3:35
Michael, let me just say, that's what he wants you to, he wants you to get distracted by that. The point of the matter is whether those people were doing something bad or good, we don't know. We don't know if they were doing something bad because there's no transparency around it. And even if they are, you still have to abide by the rules of engagement. And so even if they are bad people, you still have to follow the Constitution and you cannot fire, especially a second time, on people who are defenseless because that's just murder. So I think he wants you to get distracted by the, oh, well, we saved this many people because of the drugs and because of that. OK, great. But that's not the point. And no one ever calls him out on that.
Don Lemon 4:17
Instead, people get sidetracked and they get distracted, which is exactly what I believe they want.
Michael Cohen 4:23
So, you know, it's funny because my sub stack that I put out every morning before 8 a.m., I called it orders without honor. And I'm with you 100 percent. I don't believe that these are war crimes per se. Why? Because we're not at war.
Unknown 4:41
Right.
Michael Cohen 4:41
All right. So that makes it illegal that these acts, which is referred to as double tap. is murder one. I really believe that. I don't believe that this should be tried in a military tribunal. I believe that this should be tried in an international court because I believe what Headseth or anybody else who had their fingerprints on this, Double Tap, I believe it's murder one. In fact, just to make you laugh if I can, because I didn't see you last week, I started out my sub stack. I was not aware of the term Double Tap. Were you?
Don Lemon 5:18
No, I was not aware of it.
Michael Cohen 5:20
So you see, I always believed that the term double tap referenced the mannerless creep at the dinner table who dunks his French fry or worse, his mozzarella stick into the communal bowl of ketchup or tomato sauce, takes the slobbering half fight and then dunks it again.
