Chapter 1: How does Fox News react to economic challenges?
The Fox state regime media strikes again. So here's what went down. So on their morning shows like Maria Bartiroma, they were reporting, because it was a business show, that inflation is way up right now, exceeding anybody's expectations because of Donald Trump. So what Fox tries to do at first is just say, look, this is not Donald Trump's fault. It's just the bird flu. It's Avian flu.
Don't blame Donald Trump. But see, Trump gets pissed. He sees that. So then Donald Trump starts posting on social media, Biden inflation up. And then Donald Trump starts attacking the Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, saying interest rates should be lowered. something which would go hand in hand with upcoming tariffs. Let's rock and roll America.
Then Fox has to change its entire coverage to just be like pure propaganda, which it was before. But then they have all these guests on like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Caroline Leavitt, the press secretary, Stephen Miller, and they're all repeating the same line. This is what you voted for. This is what you want. Elon Musk is a genius. He's volunteering his time.
Oh my gosh, this is what you want, America. We're doing it. We're shaking things up. Let me break down the anatomy of state regime media right now. So first, I want to show you that report from the morning where Maria Bartiromo and her panel have anxiety that the bird flu and related spike in egg prices could be, quote, another COVID crisis to greet Donald Trump.
You see, they treat him like he's a little toddler. Oh, it's never Donald Trump's fault. Always the victim. Here, watch this.
Egg prices are soaring. Last week, the average wholesale price for large white shell eggs reached $8 for a dozen. This is wholesale. Retail, it's higher than this. The previous all-time wholesale price was $5.46 back in December 2022. How much are eggs retail right now?
Right now, probably $11, $12, $13, $14. Rich ones, you want brown eggs, you want free-range eggs, etc., etc. But they're in the low teens right now.
I've never seen anything like that. $14 for a dozen eggs.
They're killing the chickens. Yeah. and and because of bird flu right before the bird flu now let's ask the the 64 trillion dollar question uh is this a no another covet crisis to to greet uh to greet president trump wow and we don't know this i'm getting anxiety already with your finger in it january 25th okay so that pisses donald trump off so now fox has to recalibrate its entire programming so

Chapter 2: What role does Donald Trump play in current economic discourse?
Yeah, they definitely were acting guilty. Like they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar real quick.
Then what does Jesse Waters need to do to further kind of pump up the Fox zombified audience? He has to say basically, here comes the people who have weaponized the government against our victim. Our poor Donald Trump is trying to gut the government and there are people standing up to him. What a victim.
Here, play this clip. This isn't revenge. It just so happens that the people who have weaponized the government against Trump are also the ones breaking the law.
And then Jesse Waters is like, Donald Trump, when I think of him, all that comes to my mind is a true humanitarian play this clip.
At all. And so Trump is... despite what people say about him, a true humanitarian. He places such a priority on human life. You got the Gaza hostages, you got the Russian hostages, you got the Venezuelan hostages, almost immediately. And remember what we did with Otto Warmburg. It's also the Maha movement. It's also fighting fentanyl.
All of these things are about cherishing and saving human lives. And he doesn't get a lot of credit for that.
Then they bring in MAGA Republican Congress member Chip Roy, who basically says, what we need to give Donald Trump the power for is the power of impoundment. Impoundment is illegal. What Trump's been trying to do is seize all of the... Remember, Congress has this pocketbook. The power of the purse is in Congress. They've already appropriated money and passed laws that go to things.
Impoundment, that word impoundment, it's what it sounds like. impounding, taking the money and seizing it for himself, for Donald Trump. So Trump does what he wants, but he and Elon Musk, not where the laws say the money should go, right? The laws designate where the money should go. Trump wants to impound it. Here, let's play this clip.
But the president is right. He should stay the course. He has a constitutional right and duty to defend our tax dollars. Russ Vogt can use impoundment. We can do rescissions. And the president is not forced to spend every single dollar. He can do it the way he sees fit as the chief executive.

Chapter 3: How does Fox News adjust its narrative?
And here Tarlov is again, let's play it.
But the real issue here is that he's talking a big game about transparency, but he's not being transparent himself. This idea that Elon Musk shouldn't have to do financial disclosures like everybody else who's working in the government is ludicrous.
They're all over the Doge website.
No, also, when you pull it up, it's empty right now. And President Trump said yesterday, oh, well, he doesn't need to do it. Caroline Leavitt has said he doesn't need to do it. The New York Times is reporting that at least 11 of the federal agencies that they have gone after have opened complaints, over 32, opened complaints into Musk's businesses. Don't the American people deserve to know?
He has tens of billions of dollars in government contracts. If you are the doge master, then open up your own books. That's part of the federal government. They are spending money on Elon Musk and all this technology.
It's good to see Tarlov fighting there. And while all of this is going on as well,
um russia's stock market soaring today as america's stock market was doing horribly um and then you've got people like elon musk who's out there attacking judges this evil judge must be fired and then this guy andy goes judge john bates is the same judge who presided over matt perna one of the five january 6 defendants who unalive themselves john bates needs to be fired okay
federal judge John Bates, senior judge in Washington, D.C., appointed by George W. Bush. I know he made one of those rulings that said, what Judge Bates ruled was that the websites for HHS, FDA, NIH, and a few other agencies, they needed to be restored. So for that, why? And people depend on those things for their life. But for that... MAGA was going after him.
Now, let me just share with you one final thing because it's not on Fox, but I think it's worth it to see John Bolton on CNN. He used to go on Fox more when he was Trump's national security advisor. But here he talks about how what Donald Trump did with Russia yesterday in the Oval Office, basically saying that he was not okay with Ukraine becoming a
