Chapter 1: What is Fox News' strategy to support Trump amid declining approval?
As Donald Trump's approval plummets, state regime media known as Fox is doing everything it can to try to convince we, the people, that we should just trust billionaires with all of our data, with all of our information, and they keep hitting this message that If you're going to trust anyone, don't you trust the billionaires for real? This is what they're saying. Here, play this clip.
Elon Musk had access to all that stuff when he was running PayPal. Right. And if you're going to trust anybody with rooting out waste, fraud and abuse, wouldn't you want it to be a guy who really doesn't need your money?
Right, right. And also, does anyone actually think that Elon Musk is sitting in the West Wing right now going through people's tax returns? Give me a break. It's people who are appointed by the president within the agencies to conduct audits, to do their jobs. And people entrust their personal and private information to all kinds of people all the time.
The IRS, for instance, had contracted thousands of folks to review sensitive information. Yet there's a problem. And why is there a problem? Because they are Donald Trump appointees.
Mm-hmm. They kind of continue this message at all times during the day. So on their morning show, they have this like fantasy, like imagine when Elon returns all the money to everyone. Imagine when the billionaires give you all of the money. Things are going to be so special on the other side of this. Just you wait here, play this clip.
when you are finding all of this money, when you are taking it back, when you are cutting off future streams of funding, give that back to the American people. Then you will see the economy absolutely explode. And people will once again be able to take out new loans and start new businesses and all the wonderful things that follow when they have more of their own money.
It's so pathetic that people can fall for this stuff. I mean, you realize that they're not talking about no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. Egg prices were supposed to go down, not planes going down. You realize that they're pickpocketing you and they're doing the bait and switch to give a 4.5%.
trillion tax cut to the billionaires while they're cutting $880 billion from your Medicaid, $250 billion from farmers, $350 billion from education. I can go on, but I think you get the point here. Then you got to call in Alina Haba.
I think she kind of botches the line here, but she's supposed to kind of repeat that same line that I can't believe people are getting in the way of the billionaires who are trying to just help you, who are working for free. Well, let the billionaires work for free. Here, play this clip.

Chapter 2: Why are billionaires like Elon Musk and Donald Trump praised by Fox News?
Even I sometimes am just like, ugh. And then they call on Senator Roger Marshall, MAGA Republican. And he's like, look, what we really need to do here when it comes to Maha, make America healthy again, we need to do reeducation. We need to do reeducation camps for the American people. They're talking about the MAGA Republicans are talking about reeducation camps. Here, play this clip.
And the FDA administrative release, we assume it would be, is Dr. McCary coming up with new nutrition guidelines and helping America eat healthy once again.
Can you force nutritional change or can you just recommend it strongly?
You know, I think there's like anything as a physician, it's education of my patients. We need to reeducate America, but we can also stop funding federal government funding of processed food. 70% of America's calories come from ultra processed food. There's no reason that those need to be in our school lunches, in our senior citizen meals as well.
But we can redevelop those habits and we'll get it done eventually. But we need to cut back on the ultra processed foods. I cut back on the sodas, the sugar sodas that Snap is funding. So there's opportunity in the federal government as well.
Listen, I know a whole lot of politicians who could use our next sponsor, and I know you do too. I mean, some of these lunatics could use a chill beverage. Let's be real here. This podcast is sponsored by SOUL. If you listen to this show, you already know that I love their out-of-office gummies, but now SOUL has leveled up with their out-of-office THC beverages.
Perfectly microdosed with hemp-derived THC and CBD, they give any situation that vacation vibe. I cracked open a raspberry lemonade last night after a long day and it was exactly what I needed. Just enough of a warm, fuzzy buzz without sending me to the moon and no hangover. That's a win. Honestly, it's been the perfect way to wind down when work gets overwhelming and you know that it can.
These drinks come in two delicious flavors, raspberry lemonade and cucumber melon lime. And they're available in two different doses, two and a half milligrams THC or five milligrams THC. So you can choose your vibe. Plus they come in six, 12 or 24 packs. So whether you're looking for a single chill night or stocking up for your next hangout, they've got you covered.
