Chapter 1: Why is Fox News criticized for its coverage of Trump?
I mean, Fox is more shameless than Russia state regime media. Fox is more shameless than North Korea state regime media. I mean it. I mean, Putin and Kim Jong-un must be like, hey Fox, can you maybe teach our state regime media what you're doing? Give us some tips. I mean, after Donald Trump disgraced the United States, humiliated himself with that despicable appearance in the Oval Office,
where he and J.D. Vance laundered Putin's talking points to attack Ukrainian President Zelensky in the Oval Office in front of the world media. And fortunately, Zelensky stood up to Donald Trump and pushed back. And apparently that made Donald Trump have a boo-boo that hurt Donald Trump's feelings. So Trump said, peace talks are now off because Donald Trump's a petulant little third-grade bully.
No offense to petulant third-grade bullies. So Fox... calls itself Fox News, which it isn't, they had to cover for Donald Trump. They had to say Zelensky was bad and Zelensky was rude and dear leader was so strong. So let me show you what went down. You had Laura Ingraham say the following. Let's play it.
Zelensky was like an annoying gnat. He never shut up in camouflage.
I think she's describing herself and other Fox hosts there, like Jesse Waters, who then said the following.
We run the world. this is america's world he's our proxy this world this ends when we say it ends it doesn't end when zelinski if he wants to go it alone go it alone i'm glad we helped him russia invaded we got his back at first it was the right thing to do but now it's not now the war's over and he doesn't recognize it's over and reality is going to eat this guy alive if he doesn't recognize this
What?
He goes, we run the world. This is America's world. He's our proxy. I mean, these people are cartoonishly evil and pathetic and dumb. Like, I can't even believe what I am watching. I mean, I can, I guess, because it's Jesse Waters and Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity. But this is... So utterly pathetic. So then you have Laura Ingraham brings on the propagandist.
She calls herself a press secretary, Caroline Leavitt. And she goes, oh, Zelensky was so rude. He was rude to Donald Trump. And you can't be rude to dear leader. Here, play this clip.

Chapter 2: What was Trump's reaction after meeting with Zelensky?
And they were very clear today. I just think and I also have golfed with President Trump from time to time today for Zelensky. This was a gimme. This was a one foot putt that he just blew past the hole with his arrogance and his smugness. It totally backfired.
The biggest losers here are the Ukrainian people because you have an American president, the only person on the planet, Laura, who can bring peace. And he couldn't bring himself just to say thank you today. to say thank you and just listen as opposed to popping off. And then he got escorted out of the Oval Office and out of the White House. So this thing's really in jeopardy now.
But I'm glad the American people have a president and a vice president who are willing to stand up for them.
my house non-negotiable coffee time it's the one thing that has to be perfect to start my day off right but for the longest time i was getting frustrated either grabbing some overpriced seven dollar cup from the local coffee shop or settling for stale generic coffee from the grocery store then i found trade and now my morning coffee actually feels like a treat without the ridiculous price tag and you know i take my coffee seriously

Chapter 3: How did Fox News hosts defend Trump's actions?
But there are things where we have to understand the position of Ukraine and Ukrainians. And I think that is the most important thing.
And again, just the behavior like, oh, Zelensky, you need to, like Fox says, the propaganda network, you want to say you're sorry? Do you want, it's like, there's nothing I can say I'm sorry for. It's like insane.
Here's Alinsky is again. Let's play it. Do you think the public spat in the Oval Office in front of the media served Ukrainians well today?
I think this kind of this kind of spat is is I mean, this we have I mean, this is not good for both sides anyway. And I'm very open, but I can't change our Ukrainian attitude to Russian. And I don't want they kill us for us. This is very, very clear that Americans are the best of our friends. Europeans are the best of our friends. And Putin with Russian, their enemies.
And it doesn't mean that we don't want peace. We just want to recognize the reality, the real.
And then they bring in Lindsey Graham. Let me show you what Lindsey Graham has to say.
President Trump, handled it in a fashion that if i'm china i'm iran i'm any would-be adversary i'd be worried about right now he gave a master class and how to stand up for america okay so what we saw here's lindsey graham again what do you want to see happen next Well, I don't know what's gonna happen next. I don't know if you can repair the damage.
I don't know if you can ever do a deal with Zelinski anymore. Listen, did you see a guy that you felt good about going into business with? And I've been a fan. I've met him more times than I can count. But today showed just poor judgment, showed lack of control, Now, what I want him to do, I guess, is just to say, I screwed up big time for my country and for the U.S. relationship.
And if I had it all do over again, I'd done it differently. I'm sorry. If he can't say that, then Ukraine, you either need to send us somebody new we can deal with or just accept the consequences.
