Trump Starts War With Fox News as He Collapses Over Iran

0:04We are in the middle of a war and instead of listening to his Pentagon, he has Pete Hegseth firing generals and kanks donald trump sits around and binge watches fox news there is a queen on fox news named jessica tarlov and she does just incredible work fact checking and checking propaganda in real time so a lot of these fox viewers that have been so radicalized the only time they ever hear A tinge of sanity is from Jessica Tarlov. And of course, Trump hates her. And in the middle of the war, he's attacking her because, you know, he loves to attack women. Pop this up. Trump, for Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air.

0:55She is, from her voice to her lies and everything else about her, one of the worst personalities on television, a real loser. People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President DJT. And just a couple of notes here. While the war is going on, Trump is watching Fox, you guys, just to make sure they stay on script. Because this is a presidency that rules by propaganda, like all fascist autocrats do. And he's trashing Jessica Tarlov because she's one of the only dissenting voices on the network. So he has this massive, massive, massive insecurity. And anytime it's exposed, he lashes out, pumps.

1:41You know, this truth, as it were, is the answer to the question I often ask myself about people surrounding him, not reining him in, keeping him on point. Because he just goes fucking crazy if everybody doesn't agree with him all the time. It's really, really sick. Yeah, and I think we always have to remember, we cannot apply our logic to this man. You cannot say, well, why aren't people reigning him in? By design, he has surrounded himself with loyalists. Scholars have taught us that autocrats and dictators, specifically by design, surround themselves with loyalists. That's why you see all of this purging the deep state that they spoke about during the campaign.

2:30Those were nonpartisan government workers, people that wanted health insurance, wanted a steady job. Government seemed like a good employer. A couple of weeks of vacation. All of these people have been purged and replaced with loyalists. And, you know, we also have to give credit to Jessica Tarlov because she sits next to Jesse Waters all hour. I mean, I don't know how she does it. Okay. And then here is a screen grab from Fox coverage on the war. Pop this up. This is Fox Digital. Iran war nears completion as Trump eyes deadline. What the end game could look like. U.S. strikes hit one of Iran's largest bridges this week, as Trump warns much more to follow.

3:20So this is just their online reporting, all right? Nothing about the batshit crazy press conference that we saw yesterday. Nothing. We don't hear anything about that from Fox News. They are constantly sane-washing the fact that he took credit, live on television, for killing Osama bin Laden and advised everybody to read a book about it. he says the Iranians in this press conference were begging him please sir even though you're bombing right next to me please keep bombing the gays for Iran save us all this crazy shit crickets they just have to tell this this cult they're like cattle and they just guide them as to what they want to hear oh we're gonna bomb Iran we're liberating them oh it's nearing Incompletion, no critical thought.

4:08And that's why what Jessica Tarlov does is so important because probably maybe eight, 10 % might hear her and go, hmm, I wonder why they keep her on if she really is lying. Because clearly she's not lying. Well, she's the only one on that station that is not lying, that's actually telling the truth. I mean, my parents watch The Five. they will even tell you and they are like ass deep in MAGA they will even tell you Jessica Turloff she really comes with all the numbers and data and I thought so why aren't you listening but they don't it's really interesting isn't it because I think that there's maybe a respect for her because she does she doesn't get into the personalities of it she uh touts all of these numbers um but fox news we have to remember they paid a billion dollars for lying about the 2020 election in any other world that business would be considered oh they're liars they're out of business catholic church pays billions and billions of dollars for covering up child rape in any other world that business the catholic church would be out of business but we always have this in Western culture, where we let certain people get away with stuff that we would never let other people get away with.

5:34People that we deem powerful or in positions of power. And that brings me to the Epstein files. It's just a play. Fox News gets away with this. The Catholic Church gets away with it. Southern Baptist Church gets away with it. All of these billionaires, including the president of the United States get away with it. All right. And in a piece for a mediaite, Colby Hall writes about what the Fox viewer sees every single day. Pop this up. So watch Fox for a day and you'll see it gravitating toward a particular set of facts. Iran's weakness, the necessity of the mission, the heroic success of the U.S.

6:17military, how the left is actively rooting for the U.S. to lose. When criticism does appear, it's aimed away from Trump himself. He may not have been fully briefed. He may have received bad information. He may be navigating forces beyond his control. Trump is suggested to oddly be the victim in all of this, as bizarre as it sounds. And Pups has some anecdotal conversations with her Fox binging parents Where they do, they blame everybody surrounding Trump, but not Trump. Right. They despise Stephen Miller. They think he is absolutely appalling and vile. Yet, they haven't made the connection that Trump is Stephen Miller's boss.

7:06But for Trump, Stephen Miller wouldn't be in the job. And that continues to happen. One thing, It's been on my mind since this weekend. Laura Ingram wrote in a post that I saw, well, I guess the left, and I'm paraphrasing, I guess the left's mad that they got the U.S. pilot back. No, I am delighted that the U.S. was able to rescue the pilot. Where my angst and frustration and concern is that we're at war with Iran in the first place. not that a pilot was rescued, that Pete Hegseth, Steve Wyckoff, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump, that they are so bloodthirsty that they got us into the war, Laura. That's why I'm mad.

7:55That's a really good point. And I think as to this Colby Hall piece, I think it's really important that the Republican Party is always like, we're the party of individualism and of personal accountability and time and time again they're not they're a party they're a cult they are cattle 90 days ago they opposed uh wars in the middle east regardless of what country it is and um as it pertains to laura ingram bringing this down to a black and white tribal type thing this is their default setting it's always the left is rooting against america the uh right is so pro-America. Trump will dry hump an American flag and that's why we like him.

8:39We love President Trump because he loves America more than anybody else. And every time they can bring it down to this black and white argument, it really works well with the Fox News viewers who lack fundamentally the ability to critically think. And call that stupidity, call it what you want, but they genuinely lack the ability to critically think. There are certain things that I love to do that bring me great joy, like getting a manicure, pedicure, playing tennis, but some things, self-care, feel like a total chore, like shaving. All of that changed when I discovered Flamingo. Flamingo was born when the women who helped build Harry's noticed the other companies selling women's razors were just shrinking the men's razors down and making them pink.

9:28They rolled their eyes and they decided to shake things up. They created a shaving solution that's actually made with women's bodies in mind. There's no pink tax with Flamingo and a pink tax is when you're paying more just because it's a women's product. It's not flimsy. There's no irritation and it's quite attractive.

And here's another screen grab from Media Matters reporting that former Fox hosts are calling it out. Right-wing media figures castigate Fox News for pushing, quote, blatant propaganda on the war in Iran. Former Fox News and other right-wing media figures have called out the network for cheerleading Trump's war. So Tucker Carlson called Fox, quote, the world headquarters for boots on the ground. And Megyn Kelly called Fox's Iran war coverage insufferable.

11:09So these are two people that were inside the Death Star. They know what bullshit Fox is. We all saw in the lawsuit that I mentioned earlier where Fox had to pay a billion dollars. In Discovery, they got all their text messages and Hannity and everybody's just trashing Trump about what a nutty is. But you can't trust Tucker and you can't trust Meghan. And there's this saying, a broken clock is right twice a day, right? And I think that always applies to these people because Tucker Carlson, I remember, was super critical of the whole Venezuela situation where they went and captured Maduro. And he was very critical of it on his station.

11:51And then like three or four days later, he's at the White House standing there clapping like a trained seal for Donald Trump. So you cannot believe these people. And Megyn Kelly, you know, she, you also you cannot trust this person because here is a video of megan kelly who her quote is fox ron war coverage is quote insufferable but at the same time she also says shit like this play the clip trump could drop a nuke and i'd still vote republican over those people because they want to have a new voter in some ways i really am they but honestly they what they want to do is nuke our own country. You know, it's like the open border, what they're doing to children, all that stuff is still, they would do it all if put back in power.

12:38And I think most Republicans know that, which is. Okay. Pumps. She makes no sense. She knows that's not going to happen, but she gets, makes hundreds of thousands of dollars going on there and tiptoeing into sanity, but then she has to throw red meat. Here's the thing. Trump dropping a nuke on Iran, as crazy as that sounds, I would not rule it. This man has absolutely zero ability to look at consequences. So Megyn Kelly, what you need to be doing is rallying the people that listen to you to try to get their people in their districts to get real about the 25th Amendment. this made us a fucking nut never happened pumps i know it'll never fucking happen we cannot apply our logic to these people because what does she default to she defaults to donald trump is crazy and i agree and uh the fox news coverage is insufferable but viewer if he dropped a nuke i'd still go vote for him because the democrats want to nuke america and it's like megan kelly no, we don't.

13:55We want your viewers to have healthcare. We want your viewers to earn a livable wage. We want billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes because our country simply cannot afford them. We actually support the troops. 30 % of all homeless people are veterans. Yeah. 30%. And so you say you support the troops, support them in totality. But in fact, you support the nuke and pun intended here but you do not support the fallout then you're going to play you know victim so this is a typical right-wing media bullshit argument that they always play that yes donald trump's bat and he's so crazy and he's so dangerous and fox news is a propaganda machine but you know what we're gonna vote for him all over again because we're stupid stupid.
