0:00.0 | All right, welcome everybody to the Jim Acosta show. It's a meltdown Monday. It's also a Michael Monday. And Michael Cohen is here now. He's with me on screen. And we know where we have to begin, Michael. And that is, it was another volatile day on Wall Street, more hemorrhging in the markets after Trump said he wouldn't budge on tariffs. And you remember the old adage, oh, a president doesn't have that much to do with |
0:21.4 | the economy. You can't have that much of an effect on the economy. That was before Donald Trump. |
0:26.2 | And Michael, I mean, a couple of places to start. I mean, one thing that's really under my skin, |
0:31.4 | I mean, the Daily Beast reporting, the president says he spent the weekend in between rounds of |
0:35.2 | golf talking to tech leaders and politicians from around the |
0:38.3 | world who are begging to renegotiate tariffs. Asked aboard Air Force One about the catastrophic |

1:33.1 | that they're actually already working on building a plant and so on. |
1:38.7 | That's really, you know, you wouldn't believe it. |
1:42.2 | Nobody would believe how fast that this is going. You can't get permits this fast. You can't believe it. Nobody would believe how fast that this is going. |
1:45.3 | You can't get permits this fast. |
