So Fox was in panic mode after Donald Trump held a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, where Donald Trump said that he wanted to occupy Gaza with America forces permanently and turn Gaza into the. Riviera of the Middle East and then force out all of the Palestinians to destinations unknown, aka ethnic cleansing, which Donald Trump was saying on camera.
So Fox in panic mode, they had to cover it up. Right. So bring in Sean Hannity and Sean Hannity starts to basically say, look, He didn't really say that. He said he wanted to rebuild destroyed buildings. He didn't really say what you actually heard him say. This is actually four-dimensional chess right here. Watch pathetic Sean Hannity play this clip.
Yeah, he said, let's get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for people. Where the media is freaking out is, oh, Donald Trump's going to take over Gaza.
By the way, I'm so happy that the Midas Touch Network is currently beating Fox in digital views. Thanks to you. Make sure you subscribe, by the way. We're currently number one. Fox is currently number two. ABC, CBS, CNN, they are trailing far behind. Anyway, I digress.
So then what Fox does is they have their former host, Pete Hegseth, who has zero experience to be the Secretary of Defense, but he's now the Secretary of Defense. ostensibly in charge of the ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza, as well as all of the other wars that Donald Trump wants to get us into. And so here's what they do on Fox.
They do this segment where they like go on a helicopter safari together because it's all like cosplay with them. Here, play this clip.
There's been full immigration, a belief in the mission.
Our generation has spent 20 years guarding other people's borders while watching an invasion of our own. I mean, it's so utterly pathetic. And by the way, did you see that press conference they held with Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Director? And she wears the different outfits. Sometimes she's cowgirl. Sometimes she's ice agent. Sometimes she's park ranger. The whole thing is so bizarre.
Oh, this was just in last night. The United States Postal Service is announcing a temporary suspension of international package acceptance of inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong until further notice. So You can't get products from China anymore. Great work, Trump administration. Oh, Fox did report as well that the CIA has offered buyouts to every CIA agent, every CIA employee.
In other words, Trump looks like he's shutting down the CIA. Another Christmas present for Putin. All right, back to Fox freaking out and panicking on just being overall weird. They then have Byron Donalds, MAGA Republican, who he claims the drug cartels, the drug cartels are running the northern border in Canada. Here, play this clip.
Five, the drug cartels have had operational control of both of our borders, Larry. This has got to change. Donald Trump promised it and he has delivered.
You know, Congressman, as Jason Kendrick says, Byron Donald, it goes Winnipeg forecast clear, cold and windy with a noticeable lack of drug cartels. Here you have Byron Donald's talks about Trump doing absolutely nothing vis-a-vis Canada. Let me just show you this. Play this clip. No tariff diplomacy. Quite remarkable, don't you think?
All I can say, Larry, is to the American people, promises made, promises kept. Donald Trump told you he was going to do everything to secure this nation, and that's what he's done. No talking points, no silly blue ribbon panels that go nowhere, no meetings that do absolutely nothing. Decisive action with results.
Oh, MAGA loves a good fake Donald Trump deal to stroke his ego. These people are the most pathetic people. And the people who are watching this just vile propaganda, they go, okay, we did a good deal, America. Like, you realize that America... is being laughed at by all of our enemies and our allies hate us and are disgusted and horrified by us. But Fox, you could keep doing the Hulk Hogan.
Oh, yeah, the WWE America. We look stupid because of you and exit and Trump and this whole maniac regime. Then Fox has their border czar Tom Homan on, who talks about the Mexican cartel shooting at American troops. He goes, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Because one of the things Trump wants to do is to militarily attack Mexico.
It's one of the reasons that the Trump regime, the authoritarian Trump regime, is now calling the drug cartels terrorist organizations. Because watch, In the next 180 days, they'll find some pretext and they will drop bombs in Mexico. That's what they're setting up here. It's obvious. Play the clip. The most powerful military in the world will not be intimidated by anybody, let alone cartels.
It's not a question of if. It's what happens. If President Trump and his organization begin to put out business, they make things available quietly. It will be violence. It
And then Fox calls in Trump spokesperson one, their press secretary, Caroline Leavitt. And Leavitt talks about, isn't this so great? We're sending people to concentration camps today. The first flights are out to Guantanamo Bay. It is weird, though. Why don't you just deport them to their countries? I mean, if you're really going to do it. I mean, I don't know what you're doing in general.
It makes no sense. And you're taking non-criminals and you're attacking – your own, your own supporters like Venezuelans who were once on TPS, temporary protected status. But why, why, why? Why are you sending him to a concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay? Oh yeah, cruelty's the point with these people. Here, play this clip.
No longer going to allow America to be a dumping ground for illegal criminals from nations all over this world. And so El Salvador has not just agreed to the repatriation of their own citizens, but also illegal criminals from other nations who will then be sent to their prisons. Venezuela as well has agreed to repatriation flights and Colombia
also agreed to cooperate with the repatriation of illegal Colombian nationals that we have found in the interior of our country. And I can also confirm that today, the first flights from the United States to Guantanamo Bay with illegal migrants are underway.
And so President Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Kristi Noem are already delivering on this promise to utilize that capacity at Gitmo for illegal criminals who have broken our nation's immigration laws, and then have further committed heinous crimes against lawful American citizens here at home.
You've probably seen peptides everywhere in skincare, but here's the thing, not all peptides are created equal. Just because it says peptide on the label doesn't mean it's actually doing anything for your skin. That's where OneSkin's OS01 peptide is different.
Unlike other peptides that just kind of sit on the top of your skin, OS01 goes deeper, penetrating the layers where real skin repair happens. It's scientifically proven to boost collagen production, hydration, and skin barrier function.

And then you have MAGA Republican Senator Britt. Remember, she was the one last year who delivered that like super cringy response to former President Biden's State of the Union address. And she goes, on the one hand, Biden was draining Guantanamo, removing people. We're filling it back up. We're filling concentration camps up with innocent migrants. Oh, yeah, we're winning. Hulk Hogan. Oh, yeah.
This is just stupid. It's just it's just the dumb. It's like watching something even more idiotic than idiocracy. But play the clip.
Now we hear this week we are going to deport them to Gitmo. You have Joe Biden, who had an open border system and drained Gitmo, actually emptying it. And now you have President Trump, who has closed borders and is saying, I'm going to fill it up with the worst of the worst. It is an exciting day. And this is what strength looks like. This is what winning looks like.
And then here you have Steve Witkoff, special envoy to the Middle East. They have him on Fox to try to further talk about what Trump really meant. Let me tell you what he really meant. Here, play this clip.
I think everybody wants to to see peace in the region, Sean. And peace in the region means a better life for the Palestinians. A better life is not necessarily tied to the physical space that you're in today. A better life is about a better opportunity, better financial conditions, better aspirations for you and your family. That doesn't occur because you get to pitch a tent in the Gaza Strip.
And you're surrounded by 30,000 munitions that could go off at any moment. It's a dangerous place to live today. And the president is saying, let's make it better for these people. Let's give them more hope. And if there are different places for them to live, let them make that choice. And I think he's right.
Oh, yeah. Then Jesse Waters has on Donald Trump's very special friend, Alina Haba, who's Trump's senior advisor to the White House. Alina Haba. And Alina Haba says that Democrats should support spending taxpayer dollars to annex Gaza. And then she pushes the debunked lie about government spending millions on condom bombs for Gaza. The condom bombs, which don't exist.
I think it was Gaza Mozambique. which got a little bit of money for contraception as part of the USAID program that Elon Musk has totally dismantled and will allow or contribute to about 150,000 kids getting AIDS as a result, like HIV AIDS, like that's what they're doing. But anyway, here's what Alina Hobb has to say. Condom bombs, play this clip.
It's been crazy about freezing foreign aid. This one unleashed some considerable foreign aid, rebuilding Gaza. Do you think that this is something that maybe the Democrats could agree to?
I think they should if they care about world peace. I think they should if they care about stop spending 70, you know, however much money they're spending on DEI plays and operas in Colombia. We've seen 50 million to Gaza for condoms that they're using for bombs. We're seeing all kinds of spending being cut. So why not spend that money?
on protecting people in the world who have been persecuted and prosecuted, much like President Trump, who are going to be given a safe haven. And while they do, let's take that strip and let's make it great again. Let's make the world great again by making America great again. And that's what President Trump is doing.
Just so you can see for yourself and hear for yourself, here's what Donald Trump said about the Gaza Strip. Play this clip.
The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply... Unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job.
Do something different. Just can't go back. If you go back, it's going to end up the same way it has for 100 years.
Yeah, there wasn't really any mincing words there. Like, the city wants to level it, take it over, own it. ethnically cleanse it. So despicable. Hit subscribe. We need to get to 4 million subscribers. Let's keep growing quicker than Fox. Hit subscribe. Thanks for watching.
