Chapter 1: Why did Fox News's interview with Greg Kassar backfire?

0.229 - 28.946 Ben Meiselas

State regime media known as Fox is spiraling. Things did not go as planned this weekend when Fox brought on to its morning show a Democratic Congress member, Greg Kassar. Now, Fox was sharpening its knives. They had their MAGA talking points ready to go, and they were gonna be aggressive with this Democratic Congress member, Kassar. But the Democratic Congress member was ready

and humiliated Fox on live TV. Watch what went down when Fox was trying to spread disinfo and Greg Kassar said, let me explain actually what Musk and Trump are doing with social security and why they're destroying it. Play this clip.

46.914 - 52.476 Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

You should be paying taxes to improve your life, not to make some billionaire buy their 10th jet.

To be fair, I don't think many of your Republican colleagues have any interest in touching Social Security, but I want to keep moving on here.

59.443 - 79.374 Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

Your colleague wrote... But to be fair, though, but to be fair, President Trump and Elon Musk just announced that they are closing Social Security offices and... going to ask seniors and people with disabilities to go check in in person at social security offices that they've closed. And in rural areas or really suburban areas, that may be really hard to do.

79.434 - 102.45 Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

And then they'll call those social security recipients, quote, fraudsters. and cut off their benefits. That's what they've announced. And Commerce Secretary, who's a billionaire himself, just said on television, oh, if my grandma misses a Social Security check, I think he said my mother-in-law misses a Social Security check, she won't complain. Well, because he's the Commerce Secretary.

102.47 - 113.199 Ben Meiselas

It's brilliant right there. And then Democratic Congress member Kassar knew that he had Fox on the ropes, so he kept on swinging. It was awesome. Watch this.

113.619 - 128.545 Fox News Host

You cited a number that Elon Musk is making every day. That's not from his government salary, to be clear. I mean, that may be related to federal contracts. To be clear about that, do you condemn violence against Tesla owners and Tesla dealerships?

130.347 - 151.78 Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

Of course, violence is dangerous and wrong, and those who commit it should be held accountable. And there are millions of Americans right now speaking out against their health care being taken away, speaking out against money being taken away from their taxpayer pockets and being handed out in federal contracts.

Chapter 2: What did Greg Kassar say about Social Security and Elon Musk?

408.818 - 428.388 Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

that these programs we all pay for since literally World War II, Social Security, should be expanded and protected, not ransacked by billionaires that want more money for themselves. You should work to be able to keep your money, not to make Elon Musk richer. You should be paying taxes to improve your life, not to make some billionaire buy their 10th jet.

All right, let's talk about aging better. Have you heard about senolytics? It's a class of ingredients discovered less than 10 years ago and scientists are calling it one of the biggest breakthroughs for healthy aging and staying in your prime. I've been using Qualia Senolytic and I feel the difference. You only take it two days a month and it helps your body eliminate senescent cells.

also known as zombie cells. Old and worn out and not serving a useful function for our health anymore, but they're taking up space and nutrients from our healthy cells. For me, that's meant higher energy levels, faster recovery, and feeling years younger.

Brilliant.

497.536 - 529.843 Ben Meiselas

So now contrast that with let's show you the clip of Donald Trump's special envoy to Russia. A guy, Witkoff, Steve Witkoff, goes on. And this whole thing was a glaze fest. for Vladimir Putin. I just want you to think about the state of the Republican Party right now, where they have state regime media. And this is Trump's lead negotiator. Prior to this, no negotiating experience on foreign policy.

530.204 - 534.587 Ben Meiselas

And here he goes on Fox. He goes, I think Putin wants peace. Putin's great. Here, play this clip.

534.667 - 547.717 Fox News Host

For the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Jeanne Shaheen says this. When Trump asked for the killing to stop, Putin refused. Putin does not want peace, and it is time for the president to realize that. Are you convinced he wants peace?

550.279 - 571.655 Steve

I feel that he wants peace. The president had two very productive calls this week or last week, I should say, one with President Zelensky, one with President Putin. I was in I sat and listened to both of them in both conversations. It was all about a lasting peace. Lots of progress got made last week.
