| 0:15.0 | All right, welcome everybody to the Jim Acosta show. It is Tuesday, February 11th. We aren't even to hump day. We're not even to what I like to call Friday Eve. It's just a Tuesday. So let's just get right into it. Let's have it go. America still under siege. The Trump administration is still driving the country toward a constitutional crisis. Trump is |
| 0:38.9 | playing chicken with the courts. As you can see on the screen there with me, Michael Cohen, Trump's |
| 0:44.2 | former fixer, who has gone on to be a very prominent Trump critic in this country, best-selling |
| 0:50.5 | author, host of the Mayacolpa podcast, and also here on Substack as the real Michael Cohen. |

| 1:44.8 | this is in defiance of what a federal judge has instructed the Trump administration to do. |
| 1:50.7 | And here is a good window into the thinking behind Elon Musk, who is telegraphing the administration's |
| 1:55.7 | thinking on daring the judges who are blocking several of these executive actions and throwing up roadblocks |
| 2:02.1 | in front of Musk's Doge team and throwing up roadblocks, quite frankly, in front of Donald Trump. |
