1:46Ben Meiselas:State regime media known as Fox News was stunned. And I mean, they were in collapse mode throughout all of yesterday. Donald Trump gave the most disastrous interview, I think, of his entire presidency. But before that, and it happened on Fox, that was on Laura Ingraham's show. But before that, you had Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna go on Laura Ingraham, and he schooled her on the fact that in Donald Trump's books from about a decade, two decades ago, Donald Trump said that he supported basically universal health care. And Ro Khanna's like, hey, maybe we should do that. I'm open to that. Let's have that discussion.

2:27Ben Meiselas:And Laura Ingraham's like, who really knows what people write two decades ago? Here, watch this clip. Well, precisely because we have these rising stars, we need new fresh blood. But Laura, look, Donald Trump in 2015 was right about health care. He in the Republican debate said that single payer worked in Canada, single payer worked in Scotland. In 2000, he wrote a book saying that we should look at national health insurance in the United States. I've supported Donald Trump when it comes to his prescription drug plan I actually introduced his executive order his legislation and if he wants to talk about his own ideas about expanding Medicare I'd be happy to have that conversation well Congressman we were told at the beginning because I was there in these debates I don't know what Trump was writing in 2000 your party was a totally different party in 2000 Obama was so I kind of remember Barack Obama being against gay marriage so we could go back into all that but that's not really going to be helpful for tonight.

3:24Ben Meiselas:And it's important to note that the headquarters of Fox is in New York City. Like the main Fox building is in New York City. Most of the hosts live in New York City. Some live in Florida for tax purposes, but they're domiciled. They're based in New York. So it's just so wild when you have like these frauds like Sean Hannity go on. And he's like, well, America will be doomed if we become like New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois. You're just going to list all the places in the United States where people live and that subsidized the rest of the country. Watch Hannity here or play this clip.

4:03At some point, simple, basic, fundamental common sense has got to prevail or America will be doomed if we become New York and New Jersey and California and Illinois.

4:14Ben Meiselas:So then the Fox hosts bring on Dr. Oz and they try to say like, all right, Oz, come on. Can you please just let us know like what Trump's health care plan is? Just can you let us know? Because like Republicans and like our viewers are getting very worried that there's no plan for health care. once you essentially totally repeal the Affordable Care Act. Then people are worried that if they get sick, they're just gonna die because the Affordable Care Act, yes, it has issues. Like, let's be clear, but those can be fixed. We could further extend the subsidies. There are things we can do. But overall, people like having healthcare.

4:55Ben Meiselas:So what's your plan there, Dr. Oz? What's your plan, Oz? Here, play this clip. Dr. Oz, welcome to you. Good to get you back on the program. So what would Trumpcare look like? Well, these are all ideas that we're still working on in part because until the government shutdown formally ends, we don't have all the people in the room who need to work on these programs, including actuaries and insurance experts. Well, that's not very reassuring. Then Fox brings on Tim Burchett. It's like a total whack job, this guy. I can't even believe he's a Congress member. And then Tim Burchett's like, I think that the meteorite hit the Gulf of America a millennia ago and that wiped out dinosaurs in Trump care and dinosaurs and meteors.

5:37Ben Meiselas:Dude, what the hell? What the hell are you even saying? What's this? For real, what the hell does this guy say? Here, play this clip. I sure hope it works. I think that meteorite that hit the Gulf of America millennia ago that wiped out the dinosaurs is Trump care and it's going to wipe out the dinosaur that's Chuck Schumer. But then one of the funny things that I think in all of this, I try to find some joy and humor in it too. So while state regime media is doing whatever the hell that was, Newsmax has to try to compete with that. So they bring on this MAGA Republican Congress member Murphy.

6:13Ben Meiselas:And he's like, he goes, you know the problem with them, Democrats? You know those problems? Vaginas on their heads. He goes, they keep putting vaginas. He goes, they put vaginas on their heads, vaginas on their heads. What would inspire you right now on November 12th to talk about vaginas on their heads? Here play this clip. Is President Trump and some others. So that's exactly what I'm expecting to see that I'm not. Yeah, that's fair, Chris. I think that is fair. It's also the different approach to, good Lord, these huge demonstrations that the Democrats put out, they're walking around in ducky uniforms and they put vaginas on their head.

6:53Sadly enough, it's the truth, but that's the truth. That's what they do. That's how they act. Congressman, I don't want to see you. I don't want to see you in a ducky uniform. I just want Republicans locked arm in arm saying that we want

7:09Ben Meiselas:justice and we are the party of justice and adherence of the Constitution. And I just swear to God, like these mega Republican men particularly, but in general, like they're obsessed with like peepee, like big penises and vagina. Like they're all things. What bathroom are you using? Let me inspect it. You know, there's like real issues. There's real issues facing America. The guy's talking about vaginas on it. I don't know what he's talking about. All right. Sorry. Who's that? Mark Wayne Mullen, MAGA Republican Senator from Oklahoma. He's another whack job. And he just like makes up that Marsha Blackburn is a registered nurse.

7:44Ben Meiselas:So she's an RN and we've got doctors and RNs working on our plan. We are working on the greatest healthcare plan ever that we haven't showed you and we're never going to show you and you're never going to see. But trust us, it is better than the Affordable Care Act. And it's better than all that socialism with universal healthcare, that communism that exists, what, everywhere in every other country, including Argentina that you bailed out for$40 billion. They've got universal healthcare there. Here, play this clip. Absolutely. We're seeing the difference between Republicans and Democrats, they're fighting politics.

8:18We're fighting policy. President Trump is a business guy. He's got a good plan laid out on how to actually fix healthcare rather than have a community organizer like Obama trying to fix healthcare. So we've got Roger Marshall, we have Bill Cassidy, both doctors, John Brasso, which are doctors, all working with the White House, putting together, and Marsha Blackburn, by the way, who was an RN, trying to get healthcare to actually be a better fit for the American people and bring down costs. And President Trump understands business well, and he's the one leading the charge. Now that the days are short and crisp, I find myself craving comforting home-cooked meals.

10:24Ben Meiselas:Then they're like spiraling out of control on Fox over the voter rebuke about Trump and MAGA Republicans for not addressing affordability. And it's a big issue because things aren't affordable. It's not some talking point. When you go to the grocery store, when you go to buy clothes, when you go to buy anything, when you look at your electricity bills, anything at all, prices are significantly higher. And don't gaslight us and go, no, they're not. Under Trump, they're much better. No, they're not. So then you have this host, Kennedy, which used to be on MTV back in the day. It's upsetting to me that she was on MTV.

11:02Ben Meiselas:I probably watched her on MTV. And then she's like, the issue with affordability, you know, it's that taxes are too high. And that's the issue for America. Dude, rich people aren't paying taxes pretty much. Like taxes are being paid by most Americans, but not by like rich people. Here play this clip. The writing is on the wall for him. They don't have a cohesive message. And I hope they never pull this nonsense again. And when Hakeem Jeffries talks about affordability, things are unaffordable because taxes are too high. They're only going to get higher with these massive handouts for a cratering entitlement program like Obamacare that was destined to fail the second it was born.

11:41And then last Tuesday, Democrats won every race across the country. I hear you, but you may be right, but the voters didn't say that. Okay, but a fickle electorate is a healthy one. So if you have voters who are going from one party to another because their needs are not being met, I don't think that's the worst thing in the world. Need to do one. I think it's wonderful. Both parties are going to try to make things more affordable. It's a win for freedom, Harold. Thank you for being on my side. It's a win for America. Did he just... Yeah, Harold did. Did he just do what I think he did? Yeah, he caved.

12:05He caved. You caved. I won. No, no, no, you caved. I can't believe you just let her walk all over you.

12:12Ben Meiselas:My party won every race. Okay. You always make it about race. I always say the same thing. All right, now they bring their heavy hitter. Here comes Laura Trump. And she's like, you know, Fetterman? Fetterman, he's like somebody I know. Fetterman's like Donald J. Trump. You're playing this clip. He reminds me of someone else I know. His name is Donald J. Trump. This is what people love. They love authenticity and they love someone who is willing to stand up and fight for the right things. Dude, how bad has Fetterman been also, man? What a freaking letdown, freaking Fetterman. Okay, then Larry Kudlow, who used to be in the Trump regime, back in the first administration.

12:58Ben Meiselas:He interviews Stephen Miller and Larry Kudlow interviews Miller. He's like, Miller, Miller, is this$2 ,000 handout? Is that a real thing? Or is this just him saying things that you're really gonna give out$2 ,000 per person? And Stephen Miller's like, yeah, we're gonna give out$2 ,000. You've been saying this about Doge dividend checks, tariff rebate checks. Now what, these are tariff dividend checks. You all are a bunch of liars. You're not giving out$2 ,000 a piece. And by the way, like, do you remember for the past four years, everyone was like the Biden stimulus check was socialism. It worsened inflation.

13:37Ben Meiselas:So what's your$2 ,000 check? Oh, and you say that handing out a$2 ,000 check is a, that's your healthcare plan. And that's, what's going to replace the Affordable Care Act. Like you do realize like we're not dumb. Like there needs to be some form of insurance for healthcare, whether it's the government insuring it or private insurance. I want there to be universal healthcare. I want it to be free. I want to tax the rich more. That's my view. The Affordable Care Act with subsidies can give Americans insurance. I don't think it's the best, but I think it's better than the alternative by far. So what's your plan?

14:16Ben Meiselas:What is your plan? Giving someone$2 ,000? What happens when they do a surgery that costs$100 ,000. They go bankrupt. Do you realize the most basic concepts of freaking insurance? Here, play this clip. Tariffs,$2 ,000 tariff dividend. Is that something the president's going to push hard or did he say that off the cuff or what? No, it is something that's going to push hard as part of his economic plan. With the record revenue that's coming in through tariffs as we lower corporate taxes, as we lower business taxation, as we lower personal income taxation, we're able to now get more and more revenue through foreign imports to power the treasury and to be able to give rebates to the American people.

14:57It's all part of the America First economic plan.

15:00Ben Meiselas:All right. Then it goes to the disastrous Trump interview that everybody's talking about that has MAGA freaking out and leaving MAGA. So first you had Donald Trump, you know, he's like pointing at all the posters or the photos on the wall. And he's like, take a look at this. Do you like this? It's half an inch, think bronze. It's brass. It's bronze and brass. Does he have to lie about everything? Play this clip. A lot of people are wondering which child would be the best. In a certain way, they all could. Take a look at this, fellas. You want to see detail. So like the sign. Most people would just do a sign.

15:40They paint it on the wall. So that's half inch thick bronze carved by a very talented person. And it's brass, it's pure brass, it's half inch thick brass. And you can't just do that. That's, you know, you look at that, that's quality, right? And then we start with George Washington and we go down to Trump. Pretty cool, right?

16:04Ben Meiselas:All right, now here is the coup de gras, the smoking gun, if you will. This right here is when Donald Trump says that America does not have talented workers. We just don't have the talent, he says, to work in factories. Therefore, he says, H-1B visas are necessary because we do not have talented workers and our workers just simply can't do the jobs as foreign workers. Play this clip. There's never going to be a country like what we have right now. The Republicans have to talk about it. And does that mean the H-1B visa thing will not be a big priority for your administration? Because if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can't flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers.

16:52You also do have to bring in talent. We have plenty of talented people here. No, you don't. No, you don't. We don't have talented people here. No, you don't have certain talents, and people have to learn. You can't take people off an unemployment line and say, I'm going to put you into a factory or we're going to make missiles, or i'm going to how do we ever do it before well let me give you an example in georgia they raided because they wanted illegal immigrants out they had people from from south korea that made batteries all their lives you know making batteries are very complicated it's not an easy thing and very dangerous a lot of explosions a lot of problems they had like five or six hundred people early stages to make batteries and to teach people how to do it well they wanted them to get out of the country.

17:38You're going to need that, Laura. I mean, I know you and I disagree on this. You can't just say a country's coming in, going to invest$10 billion to build a plant and going to take people off an unemployment line who haven't worked in five years, and they're going to start making missiles. It doesn't work that way.

17:55Ben Meiselas:Even the Russians are mocking this fool, as our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski says. This from RT, the Russian Propaganda Network. Trump actually defends H-1B visa holders, Ingram, we have plenty of talented people here. Trump, no, you don't. We don't have talented people here in the United States. And finally, Donald Trump says the big issue right now is that Republicans need to talk about how cheap things are. He said, that's what we need to do. Talk about how cheap everything is. Here, play this clip. The Republicans don't talk about it. So they need to do a better job on Capitol Hill. The Democrats give false talk and the Republicans, and I say it all the time, Republicans have to talk about the fact that prices are down.

18:41The Walmart thing is very important. When Walmart says a Thanksgiving meal costs 25 % less under Trump than under Biden, I mean, to me, that's better than any. So Republicans need to spend more time talking about how great the country is and less time complaining about the Democrats? We have potentially the greatest economy in the history of our country. Well, there you have it.

19:01Ben Meiselas:Let me know what you think. Like, it's a, it's a, I told you they're collapsing. It's crazy.
