2:26Ben Meiselas:State regime media, which calls itself Fox, is crashing down on air. They had a deal with Donald Trump giving himself fake awards, fake peace prizes. Trump regime is collapsing and crashing, so let's just talk about what state regime is doing. They've got one of their chief propagandists, Jesse Waters, attacking California Governor Gavin Newsom. I don't even, you tell me what they're even talking about here. Here, play this clip. Have you ever seen a man sit like Gavin Newsom? Um, weak, dainty men that have weak policies that create disasters of states. Yes, that is such a pathetic pose, Jesse.

3:09I do not see boss men, especially not President Trump, sit like that.

3:14Ben Meiselas:And before I share more clips of state regime media utterly collapsing, Just a reminder, subscribe to the Midas Touch YouTube channel. We're on our way to 6 million subscribers. And you've seen state regime media attack me, attack our network. Trump's attacked us this week. We're leading independent media. We need more independent media voices. So please, if you can, hit subscribe. You may think you're subscribed, but you may not actually be subscribed. All right, let's get back into it. Then you have Laura Ingraham, another Fox propagandist, and she's like, as a Kennedy board member, I can tell you that I enjoy Donald Trump having fun and having the head of FIFA give him a fake peace prize award.

3:54Ben Meiselas:How great is it that he got a fake peace prize medals? Let her play this clip. Now, as a Kennedy Center board member, I was really happy not only to see the president having fun and being celebrated, he was honored, actually with the first FIFA Peace Award. And they had this lead up video, which was incredibly well produced. And even I had forgotten how many wars, how many conflicts Donald Trump has helped end. And I've decided, by the way, as a side note, that FIFA's president Giannini Infantino is my new favorite human. And you all know what happened, right? So Donald Trump and the head of FIFA created a FIFA, like the soccer, the soccer league, a FIFA Peace Medal, and they awarded it to Donald Trump and he like wore it and started dancing and like threw himself a party while the head of FIFA was like, Donald, you earned this FIFA medal.

4:45Ben Meiselas:Why is, I mean, FIFA soccer, or if you're in Europe or elsewhere, football, why are you giving peace medals? Like what's even going on here? Anyway, back to Jesse Waters, another Fox propagandist. And he says, you know, God gave us COVID so that Trump could be removed from office and then come back and party and hold sports events and party in the octagon. These people are so deeply unserious. Here, play this clip. But it is, you know, it's like you get the UFC at the White House, you get the Olympics in Los Angeles, and now you get the World Cup. It's almost like God gave us COVID to kick Trump out so he could reemerge again and oversee this wonderful four years of birthday parties, international sporting events and octagon.

5:36It's if you doubted there was a God. Oh, gosh. This is evidence there is God. OK, Julian, nonbeliever.

5:49Ben Meiselas:And then Jesse Waters and he's saying this on Fox, too, which settled the case for basically a billion dollar defamation case for lying about the 2020 election. And Jesse Waters is like, who knows? Maybe with the fact that this pipe bomber is a Trump supporter and has been spreading Trump conspiracies, maybe we'll find out that the 2020 election was actually stolen. Here, play this clip. All this stuff would have just been buried. We might find out the election was stolen. That was not in the prompter. No, I said stolen. A election. That's how Crockett does it, right? Time's up. And again, spreading election denialism.

6:29Ben Meiselas:You see the nihilism on Fox. I mean, this is so ridiculous. And then Jesse Waters says, you know, the deep state is still spinning this. They're saying that this guy said that the election was stolen. He did. The pipe bomber guy, the suspect was a Trumper. It was a conspiracy theorist guy who said that the election was stolen. He was parroting what Trump says. And it also seemed that he was someone with, he was potentially a person with disabilities who was just parroting Donald Trump's craziness. And then Jesse Waters was like, actually, I don't even know what I'm talking about here. Here, play this clip.

7:07So the deep state's still spinning. They're out there saying, oh, well, you know, this guy said that the election was stolen. Really? So they're saying that the Biden FBI covered up for this guy? Really? It also doesn't make sense because the guy started building the bomb materials in 2019. That was long before the election was stolen, quote unquote. I don't know anything about this case. I haven't been following this case. But I will tell you this. is the guy a lefty his dad played the race card when he sued the trump administration

7:45Ben Meiselas:by the way then a fox panelist had to admit that there was a lot of small business bankruptcies here play this clip we need to acknowledge that high interest rates and tariffs have affected small businesses hard stop we need to acknowledge that we also need to acknowledge that this Subchapter five is an easy, quick, less expensive, keep ownership of your entire business, flush the toilet and move on process. And typically when a company files bankruptcy, its creditors end up owning the business. In a subchapter five, the small businesses keep ownership. So there is trouble in small business land around high interest rates and tariffs.

8:24That's a fact. And when those small businesses are dealing with higher prices, elasticity is an issue for consumers. They go other places.

8:32Ben Meiselas:So then you had this other panel on the five and then Campanio, one of the Fox hosts, said, you know, they specifically talked about how this Trump administration had to deal with all of Biden's problems. And that's why it's taken us really long in order for Trump to pursue his agenda, because it's Biden's fault. To which the one, I guess, pro-democracy voice, there may have been two people on this panel, but one of the more normal people on this panel is like, are you just going to blame things on Biden forever? Like, should I blame things on George Washington? Here, play this clip. To hear us give answers to, we've got a fighting chance to win.

9:11Ben Meiselas:So I agree with Stephen A. But we did in the ninth cabinet, not we, the ninth cabinet meeting that was just held that was televised. They talked about that. You mean President Trump? Yes. That's right. I take back we... I wasn't there. I was there in spirit. But the cabinet members talked about specifically that they were the ones they said combating what the prior administration had done to them, what we inherited, that it's gonna take a while to, like, build up... This is cutting into fan mail. If I'm ever elected president, I will not blame George Washington for anything. You can't keep blaming everybody for...

9:38You gotta... You gotta tackle the issue. But essentially, we're almost a year in. Like, how long...

9:42Ben Meiselas:Don't go George Washington. And then Greg Gutfeld is saying that. He goes, I'm really glad that Donald Trump won the FIFA Peace Prize because it didn't go to Greta Thunberg and then one of the other people on the panel's like, but the award was created for Trump. He wasn't competing against other people to get the award. He and the head of FIFA made a fake award for Donald Trump. Anyway, here, play this clip. It's what we call win-win. And I also love that the Peace Prize from FIFA, it didn't go to like Greta Thunberg or some silly little peace activist. Because it was created for the president.

10:20That's what Johnny Infantino said. What's your beef with this? I'm saying there were no other candidates. So? What's your point? Do you wish that it went to Amnesty International or to Greenpeace? I don't understand why FIFA needs a peace award. Well, I'll tell you why. Because they're kissing his butt. He's hosting the game. By the way, let me ask you this. Who deserves a peace prize? No, I'm not getting into this with you. No, you started it with me. This is not about starting it with me. You're having like three conversations here. You started it with, I want, look, he is going around the world basically brokering peace.

10:56Why shouldn't he get a peace prize? Not that I really care, but this is just fun. I didn't say he didn't deserve it. I said it's not going to help him in the quest to get the Nobel Peace Prize. That was my point. You hear that? That's the sound of nostalgia meeting something brand new. I've always loved soda. It's one of those small joys from childhood I can never quite quit. But let's be honest, the sugar crash and the guilt? Not so great. That's why I'm obsessed with Olipop, the new kind of soda that actually supports your health. Their latest collab is so fun. It's the pineapple-iest soda from Bikini Bottom, a limited-edition flavor called Pineapple Paradise, inspired by SpongeBob's iconic pineapple home.

12:24Ben Meiselas:You know things are bad when they bring on Trump's National Economic Advisor, Kevin Hassett, who goes, Donald Trump is the greatest communicator I've ever seen. Here, play this clip. Well, I mean, there have been so many wins to talk about that I think it's just going to be a great time. He's the best communicator I've ever seen. It's going to be a great time for him to go out there and just talk about, like we could say one thing that we've got 18 trillion in new factories being built, but now we've actually got the groundbreakings that we could report on. And so I think that people are going to be really impressed with the progress that we're making, and it's going to be very, very impressive data as well.

12:58And so I think that because the president is on fast forward and he's helping, it seems, all the world's problems, you know, stopping wars and everything else, that that it's time now to spend a little bit of time reminding people about all the progress we've made out of the economy. And that's what he's going to do.

13:13Ben Meiselas:And then Hassett says, but, you know, we thought we were going to be doing better this year, but the government shutdown got us here. Play this clip. The thing is that the data are missing a little bit, right? Because of the government shutdown, we went a couple of months without the kind of data that policymakers in the White House and policymakers at the Fed want to see to make sure that they've got a real strong handle on what's going on. We've seen some anecdotal reports, like through the ADP releases, that the job market might be weakening. At the same time, industrial production is at an all-time high.

13:45We've got GDP growth in the fours for the last two quarters. And so, you know, our expectation is that the government shutdown had a bigger negative effect on the economy than we expected. But we're going to have a bigger rebound in the first quarter. I guess that backdrop is a good time for the Fed to cautiously reduce rates again. And that's what I expect that they're going to do.

14:06Ben Meiselas:And then Hassett says, but we'll deal with affordability, but we may have to deal with that in a little bit. But it's all Biden's fault. You're playing this clip under Joe Biden. And so we're making progress, but it's going to take a little bit more time to get the hole that Biden dug to be completely filled. But we're going to do it. We're highly confident we're going to do it. And the numbers that you and I have been talking about this morning highlight why people should be so optimistic that we'll be successful. Then they bring on this Department of Homeland Security person, the Goughlin, and she's like, And one of the lies coming from the radicals is that we're zip tying children.

14:45Ben Meiselas:We're not zip tying children. We see you zip tying the children. How many videos have I showed of people? Zip tying children, throwing chemical weapons by schools, disappearing people into concentration camps, taking out your assault weapons and pointing into people's faces, invading childcare centers. I've shown them all on this network. People have seen all these videos. goes, go back, look at my All Hell Breaks Loose series. All this stuff is on tape. Here, play this clip. And there is, of course, even Christmas not being safe from anti-immigration protests. There was a church in Evanston, Illinois, facing heat this morning for displaying a nativity scene showing baby Jesus zip-tied by ICE agents.

15:30The church says this installation reimagines the nativity as a scene of forced family separation, drawing direct parallels between the Holy Family's refugee experience and contemporary immigration detention practices, Tricia? Children are not being zip tied. This is, again, another disgusting smear. I just, Maria, when does this stop? We've already seen a terrorist attack against our law enforcement officers. We've seen multiple, multiple vehicle rammings, probably a thousand this year. And we talked about the assaults against them earlier. But I really think it's incumbent upon these politicians, Give the facts here because these illegal aliens in our country actually have a real choice.

16:13They have a choice to leave the country now, get a thousand dollar exit bonus, a free flight home and then preserve the potential opportunity to come back to the United States the right legal way. That is an incredibly generous taxpayer offer and they should take advantage of it.

16:28Ben Meiselas:Then they bring on this MAGA Republican Congress member, Rick Crawford. He's an Arkansas Congress member, and he defends Pete Hegseth's strikes on the demolished, the war crimes that were taking place. And he goes, Hegseth had to do this because they were potentially signaling other vessels in the region. No, they weren't. We know what's happened. Admiral Mitch Bradley has spoken about this. The people were in distress, the survivors. The ship that they were on, the fishing boat, was heading to, was going east, okay, not in the direction of the United States. It was going in the opposite direction.

17:13Ben Meiselas:It was apparently going to meet with a bigger boat where potentially the drugs, if there were drugs, cocaine was going to be transferred to a bigger boat, not in the direction of the United States. It wasn't fentanyl and they were not radioing anybody and they were in distress. We know all of those facts now to be the case. But but go on, Crawford, lie here. Play this clip. We're dealing with a vile element here. And they were as as my friend, Senator Cotton characterized, they were trying to right that ship. It was still laying with cargo because it was strapped into the boat. They were potentially signaling other vessels in the region.

17:54We don't know if they had access to SATCOMs or not, but as he characterized, still in the fight. And this is characteristic of these kind of strikes where we hear the term double tap.

18:06Ben Meiselas:But folks, Maga Mike Johnson wants you to know that the Republicans have had the most productive, the most productive Congress in history is what he says. Come on here, play this clip. If we stay unified, there is absolutely nothing that we can't achieve. We've already demonstrated that this Congress. We've had one of the most productive Congresses in the history of the institution. Do you need the president to get on the phone to some reluctant GOP members in the house and say, come on, come on. He's been very helpful at a couple of junctures along the way where we've had big legislation, the one big, beautiful bill, the working families tax cut, other things where you had two or three or four holdouts, which I can't afford.

18:43Now, remember in previous years, speakers had 25, 30, 40 seat majorities. I have a razor thin majority. I have to get every single Republican on most days. And so it takes a lot of work, but we're going to get there.
