Chapter 1: Why is Fox News concerned about Trump?
Fox is very scared right now. Let me give you some data points. Consumer confidence is in the gutter. The economy is crashing. Donald Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi promised to release the Epstein files and now, surprise, surprise, she's covering it up.
And Democrats are going into reddish and purplish districts where MAGA Republican Congress members are too afraid to hold town halls and Democrats are speaking with pissed off constituents. and voters who are enraged at what Donald Trump and Elon Musk and Doge and all of these magas are doing. So what is the Fox propaganda machine doing? They are propagandizing it.
Let me show you what they're doing. They have Kellyanne Conway, the queen of alternative facts. She goes on The Hannity Show, and she talks about consumer is up, way up, everybody. Here, play this clip.
Greg, go down. Consumer confidence going up. Everything is turning up Trump and now- No, Kellyanne Conaway.
Consumer confidence is way down. It's the worst University of Michigan inflation expectations since 1993. It's the worst University of Michigan consumer sentiment. They're the university that takes these consumer survey data. They're the gold standard. It's the worst University of Michigan consumer sentiment since 2022.
And the big news in this University of Michigan data was not simply the inflation expectations and consumer sentiment. Look at what people are saying about the jobs market. Expected change in unemployment is the worst right now since the 2008 recession. So let me fact check Kellyanne Conway right there with actual data.
Then Sean Hannity is terrified of Democrats going into these red and purple districts. So Hannity says, look, if you're in one of these conservative areas, be careful. The Democrats may be talking about like transgender people playing sports. Oh, here, play this clip.
Probably, in all likelihood. And according to reports, they are now planning to take this show on the road, and they want to have town halls in Republican districts across the country. You may want to go. It might be entertaining. You might have a few questions for them. I would ask that you not be like them and be polite.
But beware, if you are in a conservative area of the country, which is most of the country, a radical Democrat might be coming to a venue near you to spread their message in support of men and their right to play women's sports.

Chapter 2: What are Democrats doing in Republican districts?
Told you we got to come with receipts here on the Midas Touch Network. That's what we're going to do. So then as Donald Trump is crashing our economy as people's 401ks and pensions are in the gutter. But according to Kellyanne Conway, things are great. Who does the Trump regime bring onto the Fox show? Maria Bartiromo, who also sits on the Kennedy board at Donald Trump's selection.
She's one of Trump's chief propagandists. They bring on Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, and he's like, whoa, there's no way there's going to be a contraction. The Atlanta Federal Reserve, no way, they're wrong. Watch what he has to say. Play this clip.
We've seen worries about growth. I know you said you're not expecting a recession, but investors are on edge over the possibility of a recession this year after the Atlanta Federal Reserve said that it's predicting a 2.4% contraction in the first quarter. And of course, President Trump would not... Wait, wait, wait.
Say that again. A what?
A what? The Atlantic Federal Reserve.
2.4% contraction? Correct. First quarter. Okay, right here, right here, right now. Right here, right now. That is ridiculous.
Then on the Laura Ingraham show, they hosted J.D. Vance and he just said a bunch of word salad about how he's deferential to Donald Trump. I didn't try to even make sense of what he's saying here. Let's play it.
But I just wanted to answer the question. And then, of course, something I said in my answer caused the blow up. You know, Zelensky got frustrated with it and then everything went from there. You know, the president, what I try to do is obviously he's the president. I'm the vice president. I try to be respectful. But I also recognize that sometimes the president wants me to say stuff.
And, of course, if the president, if I think there's something useful I can say and I think that it's going to be deferential to the president, I'll jump in and offer my thoughts.

Chapter 3: How does Fox News respond to economic data?
Our soldiers are effectively repelling enemy offensive actions and inflicting significant fire damage using all available weapon systems. Since the beginning of the current day, 13 combat clashes have taken place in the Kursk direction. There is no threat of encirclement of our troops. units. In other words, everything that Trump is saying is absolutely false right there. Surprise, surprise.
Howard Lutnick then goes on Fox, Trump's commerce secretary, to attack the EU. Here, play this clip. The world just let us rebuild.
America needs to be in charge. Let us rebuild our steel and aluminum domestic production. And when we do that,
tariffing our American whiskey I mean why is that credible it seems illogical so Donald Trump is just reminding the European Union who's in charge who do they run their big budget deficits with you know their trade deficits they trade with us huge amounts we buy their stuff all day every day and they need to respect Donald Trump and he's going to teach him how to do that you know I
Now, one of the things about that attack on the EU that I find interesting, did you see this story from Reuters? How many eggs can you send? US is now asking countries that it's attacking to help lower the soaring prices of US eggs. Peep this.
The United States has reached out to Denmark and other European nations asking if they can export eggs as Americans face surging egg prices, the Nordic Countries Egg Association said on Friday. The request from the U.S. Department of Agriculture coincides with a raft of new U.S. tariffs on countries, including in Europe, and a threat of more.
Donald Trump has also threatened economic sanctions unless Denmark hands over control of Greenland to the United States while the Trump administration or regime, I should say, is out there begging, begging Denmark to help the U.S. lower egg prices. How utterly despicable can you get? Yeah, probably more with the Trump regime. There you have it. You see the propaganda.
I know you want me to fact check it, which is why I come with the receipts when I show you anything Fox related. Let me know what you think. And subscribe. Let's get to five million subscribers. Thanks for watching.
