Chapter 1: Why is Fox News in panic mode over Trump?

0.169 - 25.674 Ben Meiselas

State regime media known as Fox was in free fall yesterday as Donald Trump continued to collapse the market, collapse the economy. And as China and their leaders were mocking him, you had Caroline Leavitt, Donald Trump's chief propagandist, going on Fox and literally begging China to give Donald Trump a call and then saying, look, American consumers are the best China.

0

25.814 - 29.054 Ben Meiselas

Just give us a call, will you? Yep. Here, play this clip.

0

Chapter 2: What did Caroline Leavitt ask China?

29.375 - 43.559 Caroline Leavitt

And China knows that too, Sean. And as President Trump directed me to say yesterday, it remains true tonight. The ball is in China's court. They need to do business with the United States. They need the best thing on the face of the planet, and that is the American consumer.

0

43.999 - 51.361 Caroline Leavitt

And we are the best place in the world to do business, and the rest of the world knows that, and that's why Japan was here today to negotiate a trade deal.

0

52.25 - 73.716 Ben Meiselas

That's supposed to be strength. That looks like total weakness to me. I thought you had the cards, Donald. I thought you had the cards. By the way, China is mocking Donald Trump for saying they don't have the cards. Then Caroline Levitt kind of glitches here where she's like, I don't have any updates because I haven't spoke with Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary.

0

73.996 - 80.158 Ben Meiselas

Then she goes, I just spoke with the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson. It's like, what in the world are you talking about, Caroline? Play this clip.

0

80.672 - 93.423 Caroline Leavitt

I don't have an update for you. I actually just left a dinner with the president and Patty Morin and some great faith leaders in celebration of Holy Week. So I haven't checked in with our secretary of treasury or Jameson Greer, our United States trade ambassador yet.

93.723 - 100.329 Caroline Leavitt

However, I did run into the secretary of treasury and he told me the meetings were productive and they were moving along and they were here.

100.469 - 110.635 Ben Meiselas

Then Donald Trump was on Fox and he makes this very strange, bizarre, and outright disgusting comment about the Holocaust. And he said, some people were treated good.

Chapter 3: What controversial comment did Trump make about the Holocaust?

110.876 - 116.719 Donald Trump

Here, play this clip. You know, the Holocaust, as bad as it was, there were a lot of stories where people got helped.

0

116.959 - 117.22 Joe Rogan

Yeah.

0

117.5 - 123.163 Donald Trump

They said there was zero. He said, all we got was slapped. We didn't get helped. We got slapped.

0

123.384 - 123.584 Unknown Speaker

Yeah.

0

124.224 - 149.913 Ben Meiselas

hell is he even talking about? Then you have Pam Bondi, as Aaron Rupert says, grotesquely claiming Abrego Garcia's wife and children, who are American citizens, are better off without the husband and the dad here. They should be thankful to the Trump regime for putting him in the concentration camp in El Salvador. This is what Attorney General Pam Bondi says. Play this clip.

Chapter 4: What did Pam Bondi say about immigrants?

150.49 - 166.748 Pam Bondi

Maryland is safer because he is gone. And that woman that he is married to and that child he had with her, they are safer tonight because he is out of our country and sitting in El Salvador where he belongs.

0

167.188 - 185.135 Ben Meiselas

And then the Trump regime had this guy on Fox who kind of glitched yesterday when he was talking about whether or not we were going to experience a recession, which most economists believe we're heading into a recession, a great recession, or even worse. Watch this Trump regime official glitch on live TV.

0

Chapter 5: Are we heading toward a recession?

185.195 - 202.772 Donald Trump

Play this clip. And so financial markets are forward looking. They'll start to realize that CEOs are forward looking. They'll start to realize that also. So is there volatility in the short run? Absolutely. Is a recession possible? Well, you know, it's not my base case, you know, but, you know, making predictions is difficult for anyone.

202.972 - 219.998 Rocket Money

269.133 - 284.265 Ben Meiselas

Back to Attorney General Pam Bondi here. She goes, every liberal journalist who called Abrego Garcia a Maryland man should be bowing down and apologizing to the Trump regime right now. Here, play this clip.

0

284.585 - 300.485 Pam Bondi

El Salvador, he is sitting in a prison and every American should be thanking President Trump tonight. And every liberal journalist who has called him a Maryland man and saying he was rightfully in this country should be apologizing tonight to President Trump.

0

301.203 - 328.363 Ben Meiselas

Can we just cut to the chase right here? Here's the file for Abrego Garcia. You see, it says no criminal history, no criminal charge. So you could keep defaming this guy. Look, I wanna give the facts. One of the facts were, In 2019, a cop who was disgraced, who ended up pleading guilty to exchanging favors for like a sex worker and giving private data and like pled guilty.

328.763 - 339.572 Ben Meiselas

This was an individual who claimed he had a confidential informant who told him that Abrego was a gang member from the Westerners in Long Island, which is.

339.992 - 362.989 Ben Meiselas

abrigo garcia never lived in long island so it never made sense that's when they say oh he was a gang member he was a gang member it was based on a disgraced cop who ended up like pleading guilty to like giving it like confidential information to like a sex worker for favors that that's who that comes from by the way and then okay if ultimately you say that he is a bad guy then you

363.069 - 381.502 Ben Meiselas

do due process, and then you can deport him. Like the 2019 judge said, just not to El Salvador where he's gonna be killed. We're a nation of law and order. You go through a process, you can have an outcome. You put forward evidence. That's the way our system works. So what else did the state regime media wanna do yesterday?

381.943 - 407.44 Ben Meiselas

Here, their hosts, one of them, Earhart, Earhart, she's married to Hannity. She was, this like other host was like eating bananas off the floor. And then they talked about how Pete Hegseth, now the defense secretary, when he worked at Fox, he would take cream cheese bagels off the floor and schmear it on his face and then eat dirty bagels. This is what they talk about on Fox, eating dirty bagels.

Chapter 7: What bizarre behavior was discussed on Fox News?

462.864 - 465.145 Unknown Speaker

There's also a rumor that Pete did not wash his hands.

0

465.625 - 466.886 Joe Rogan

He said that one time on air.

0

467.266 - 469.767 Unknown Speaker

Really? In every scenario, he wouldn't wash his hands?

0

469.787 - 471.988 Joe Rogan

He's tough. He's like an army guy. You know, he's tough.

0

472.789 - 491.238 Ben Meiselas

Tough is one thing, but... I bet you thought that, like, come on, Ben. What do you mean? He eats dirty bagels off the floor. That's, yes, that's what they do at Fox. And that's what they're talking about. I don't know. I could think about some other important things that we should be talking about today. But that's the weird dystopian world that Fox creates. It's all a game.

492.558 - 517.813 Ben Meiselas

uh to them in a gross game at it as well here donald trump uh as part of this fox interview talks about i watch people in the capitol our people don't carry ropes on theirs i don't even know what the hell he's talking about here play this clip it's amazing when they don't give you the information when you know when they don't you know they're not on the right the pipe bomber is not a person on the right it's a person on the left okay and you know when i watch some of those uh people in the capitol

518.678 - 523.441 Donald Trump

Our people don't carry ropes on their side and this and that. Our people aren't scaling.

523.721 - 524.942 Joe Rogan

Are you going to get to the bottom of it?

525.122 - 542.752 Donald Trump

Well, we're going to try. Yeah, we're going to try. And this. Hey, look, the unselect committee of political thugs, these horrible people, Democrats and two of the worst Republicans in history, crying Adam and Liz Cheney, two of the worst. They are just sick people.
