Fox News Erupts as Trump Hits New Polling Low

0:00Ben Meiselas:State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was in full panic mode as Donald Trump continues to crash out, as Donald Trump crashes the economy, as Donald Trump's catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran continues, and Trump's new plan is let's pretend the war isn't taking place and let's totally disengage while Donald Trump now starts talking about Kim Jong-un again, while the price of diesel and the price of gas continues to surge. State regime media needs to change the topic. So what do they do? Well, they run segments like this on Jesse Waters. They were speaking with college girls in bikinis, asking them questions that some of them didn't know the answers to.

0:46Ben Meiselas:And this was a major segment on Jesse Waters. With all the things happening in the world, this is what they were focused on. Here, play this clip. Executive. Give me a hint. I don't know. Jew? Jewish? Just hold things off the rails. I got, you're not going to be even air this. What is the first amendment of the constitution? I have no idea. I'm allowing you to do it right now. Oh, free will? Then on other programming, they were attacking Senator Ossoff for Senator Ossoff talking about how Donald Trump and Natalie Harp were hiding together in a catering container after they escaped the old Air Force One at the end of the NATO summit because Donald Trump believed that he would be subject to an Iranian assassination attempt aboard the old Air Force One because that's what Netanyahu told him, despite the fact that our CIA said that Netanyahu was lying.

1:46Ben Meiselas:Senator Ossoff, as you know, said that Donald Trump would rather spend his time in the catering container with Natalie Harp and engaging in 21 ,000 stock trades and spending his time on a golden ballroom than actually helping the American people. That's pretty much all Senator Ossoff said. But state regime media, which just ran the college bikini segment, they said that Senator Ossoff really hit beneath the belt, that it was deeply distasteful. It was beneath beneath Senator Ossoff to dare even say the name Natalie in that way. Watch what they say on state regime. Let's play this clip. And I don't see that.

2:27There's actually no correlation to that. I think he should have left her alone. I think that was distasteful. It was beneath him. There's nothing graceful about it. And she of anyone deserves to be left alone, especially by someone like him. I'll note this. When I looked into him further, I was actually pleasantly surprised to learn that he is prolific as a legislator, a bipartisan one, and that he has teamed up with many Republican senators to be the most prolific freshman senator pushing legislation out there and standalone bills on opioids and prison and veterans affairs and things that infrastructure, things that everyone can get behind.

2:59So why is it to me that he is now ringing some bell that only goes toward a tiny fraction of social media people? And then to your point in the general election, hopefully we'll be actually hallmarking, look, I'm the person that will get things done. But I'm not sure when this will be retired by the Democrat party of like, it's actually not about Trump. It's not about attacking Trump. At some point, it's about Americans. And I think no Democrat has yet to see that.

3:26Ben Meiselas:Checking in now on Laura Ingraham, what was she talking about? Well, she had this segment where she was talking about Nancy Mace and they were showing these photos of Nancy Mace's new tattoos while Mace was wearing a bikini. And this is somehow what state regime media thinks is a relevant and newsworthy thing to be telling their viewers about. Here, play this clip. Horrible. Well, she does have the Virgin Mary on the arm there. I wish she would pray to the Virgin rather than placing a tattoo of her on her bicep. She's been through a lot, I think. She's been through a lot. She's working through it.

4:05I'd rather see her working through that than Justin Trudeau in the closet with a plunger. I'll take that. I still can't get over it. Raymond, I don't like tattoos. I'm not a tattoo person, but I don't want it's their personal choice. They want to do tattoos. Do any of your kids have tattoos, Raymond? Any of them? No way. No, they do not. Not that I know of. No, no, no. It's a big thing. People like them.

4:33Ben Meiselas:And again, notice as Donald Trump's approval continues to collapse, as it hits all-time lows in presidential history, at all-time lows since 1953, the programming on state regime media gets more and more deranged. And what they want to do is just confuse and distract and then scare their viewers into this dystopian mess of a world. So what else are they doing on state regime media? Well, they bring in Tommy Lahren, and she starts railing against Mom Donnie. What are you railing against Mamdani about? We have crime in New York at all time lows. You got Mayor Mamdani has record high popularity objectively in New York City.

5:20Ben Meiselas:So where are you going with this? And so they attack him for doing videos suggesting that people in New York City should absolutely be wearing bike helmets and that they really need to wear bike helmets. This is state regime media replaying a version of when they went after Obama for the tan suit, right? You have Donald Trump literally covering up child sex trafficking rings. You have Donald Trump, who's been found civilly liable for sexually assaulting a woman. His appeal to the Supreme Court on the sexual assault case was denied. You have Donald Trump engaging in 21 ,000 stock trades to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, making billions of dollars his first year in office.

6:05Ben Meiselas:You have Donald Trump entering into settlements with his own government, waiving all tax liability, giving themselves tax immunity. But state regime media really wants to talk about Mamdani and bike helmets. Here play this clip. Well, I guess he needs the bike because there's no free bus. Yeah. Communism with a smile. That's what all these influencers, they get elected to office. That's primarily how they get there, right? because they can put a smile on socialism and communism and they can laugh off safety. And I think it's also insulting to the New Yorkers out there that are legitimately worried about their physical safety, not because of lack of a bike helmet, but just because of the state of New York City and the safety problems that exist, especially for Jewish New Yorkers.

6:51So the fact that he thinks that all we need to do to keep New York City and New Yorkers safe is get Mom Donnie a bike helmet. I mean, he's laughing in the face of all the people that are legitimately scared, all the people that are riding the subways they're in the parks they're worried about the homeless crisis the drug crisis you name it and he puts on a bike helmet and does a tiktok video and he thinks he's solved everything but sean this is the problem there are so many people who are habitually online and they see a funny little video they see a young man with a nice smile and it's palatable to them so beware of this when aoc runs for president in 2028 she's going to do the same.

7:25Ben Meiselas:She will do the same. Staying informed matters.

So then state regime media had to also admit that the previous day they provided false information about gas prices. They said that the prior year, gas prices at this time in August, that the gas prices were$4.13 a gallon, when in fact they were$3.13 a gallon, because right now, gas prices are actually at an all-time high in the history of the United States for this time in August. Similarly, you have diesel,$5.27,$5.37 a gallon, hitting a record high as well.

9:38Ben Meiselas:The diesel crack spread over$102 a barrel right now. And state regime media had to admit they were lying the day before when they were called out for giving false information to try to make it look more flattering for Donald Trump. Here, play this clip. And before I toss back to you, yesterday we aired a graphic that showed gas prices incorrectly last year were$4.13 a gallon. They are in fact$4.13, $3.13 a gallon. That's 90 cents more in the past year. The Trump administration says those gas prices will fall quickly once the operations in Iran ends. Now back to you. And just so you can see for yourself, this was the reporting the day before where they lied about it.

10:23Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. So President Trump asking Americans for patience and paying a little bit more for gas because the unified message from here is that gas prices will drop quickly once the operation's finished. The president says that he has to do this to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. Jackie? All right. So then that same guy has to admit that the strategic petroleum reserves right now sit at their lowest level basically ever. He says, sit at their lowest level since Hall and Oates' man-eater topped the billboard music charts. It's a bizarre way to rule. First of all, why are you thinking about Hall and Oates man-eaters?

11:03Ben Meiselas:Just a strange analogy. I mean, whether you like Hall and Oates or not, strange thing to say. But just let's talk about how bad that is and how we still are involved in this catastrophic, unlawful war, that Donald Trump's plan right now to disengage, to do nothing. And he thinks that that's going to strangle Iran by doing nothing. Meanwhile, you have the Iranian generals and Iranian parliament leaders and foreign minister just mocking the United States for the absolute weakness. And this is Hall and Oates, everybody. We'll make a funny little joke about it. But do you notice they do it to try to, I don't know, make their viewers not take it as serious?

11:46Ben Meiselas:Oh, I remember Maneater. It's like, what are you talking about? This stuff is existential stuff as a result of Donald Trump's failures. And you were talking about Momdani's helmet and man-eater Hall and Oates. The hell's going on? Here, play this clip. Edward Lawrence is tracking that for us live from the White House. Edward? Yeah, the U.S. is releasing its part of the International Energy Agency's actions to offset the global supply disruption from the Strait of Hormuz. Now, there are a few more releases the U.S. can make under this plan. But right now, the SBR sits at the lowest level since Hall and Oates man-eater topped the billboard music charts.

12:24Now, the energy secretary is concerned, but blames the Biden administration for draining the reserves for political reasons.

12:30Ben Meiselas:Then former top Trump economic advisor Stephen Moore went on to start drooling all over the TV. Let's play this clip. Oh, that gives Republicans momentum when they go into those November elections. And then more attacks on Senator Ossoff. Yeah, Fox was enraged that Senator Ossoff dare even say the name Natalie Harp. Off limits. You can't do it. You can't do it. Donald Trump can call reporters in front of him piggy. Donald Trump can call him horrific names and curse at them. and Donald Trump can be found liable for sex assault and he can be covering up the Epstein files. The regime can say it's an Epstein hoax.

13:14Ben Meiselas:They can traumatize survivors, but it's off limits to say that Donald Trump would objectively, the truth, Trump would rather be with Natalie at the golf course than helping the American people. Just an objective fact. Oh my God, you can't go after Natalie like that. Do you see how they cocoon themselves in this victimhood right away? They cocoon themselves. All of a sudden, they're victims. They're victims. Oh, my God. That's because they're losers. This is their behavior. They're manipulators. They're sociopaths. They're sickos. That's how they behave. Here, play this clip. The majority of people in that group had no idea who he was talking about.

13:57That was something to be clippable. And then the analysis of who this senator is is interesting to me because people say his ability to go viral is what is making him stand out as this candidate for the party, that they want someone that can sort of rise above the rest and like make noise. And then they say that that translates directly to clearly his ability to govern. And I don't see that. There's actually no correlation to that. I think he should.

14:19Ben Meiselas:And then more from Laura Ingraham, who then goes, let's talk about Hassan Piker, everybody. Hassan Piker, play this clip. It's another head fake by the limousine socialists who count their millions by day and rail against capitalism by night. Think of someone like Hassan Piker. How is he disrupting capitalism by live streaming from his multimillion dollar home? You know, he calls his workplace a cooperative. I guess, is it unionized? I don't know. Is that a dual system that works for the working man? They bring on Ryan Zink, MAGA Republican congressman, who then says, we should really be caring about data centers everywhere in our backyard.

15:02Ben Meiselas:We're too harsh on data. First of all, we should care about data centers in the sense of not having them anywhere near our communities. But the MAGA playbook, Trump's playbook is data centers everywhere in your backyard. We've heard Donald Trump say it. Trump has said, we want data centers in everywhere. Liquid gold. That's how you get rich. Do a data center in your backyard. In Texas, Governor Abbott gave complete and full tax immunity, tax exemption to the data centers from paying taxes on electricity bills and then invited them in. They all came in and I was like, well, now we may need to do an audit because it seems like it was a bad political position for me to know it's a bad human position for you to take because all you wanted to do was help the right oligarchs and help the tech bros and the data center get richer at the expense of the american people's health and welfare here play this clip data centers have largely been demonized you heard it they take away your jobs your water your children and where is this rhetoric emanating from largely it's emanating from our adversaries that fear our development of ai and look ai is changing the way we conduct business through the way we conduct our lives the way we look at research ai is changing and having a having the ability to use ai effectively and compete is part of a core economy so data centers have been demonized i think data centers as far as popularity goes i think probably congress is the only group that's probably lower on the polls than data centers.
