State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was losing all control on air on live TV. We saw meltdown after meltdown of their propagandists, whether it was Jesse Waters, Laura Ingram, Hannity, you name it. It was a absolute disgrace. Let me just show you what went down when you had Jesse Waters saying, look, I think maybe we use the oil money from Venezuela that we'll steal.

3:21Ben Meiselas:Then we'll take that to buy Greenland. How is this even on a network calling itself news? It isn't. It's regime propaganda. Here, play this clip. They want to do a deal. There's a method to the madness. Maybe we use the oil money from Venezuela to buy Greenland. Maybe we just share it with the Danes. I hear the Scandinavians like to get down like that. We don't judge. Then you have Laura Ingraham interviewing Senator Moreno from Ohio. And Ingraham's like, you know, Greenland doesn't even exist if it was not for the United States. Canada doesn't exist if it's not for the United States. They owe our existence to us.

4:05What are you talking about?

4:08Ben Meiselas:Most ridiculous statements ever. Play this clip. Using the military. Greenland obviously would not exist were it not for the United States of America. We defend it. Canada would cease to exist without the U.S. military. They, you know, they're our ally, but they're free riders and they've made their views about the United States lately very clear. I mean, for real, this is worse than like RT or Sputnik or TASS tasks in Russia. I mean, this is like worse than pink dress lady in North Korea. Then Senator Moreno is like, in terms of oil, we deserve to be reimbursed from Venezuela for setting them free.

4:49Here, just play this clip. It was flawless. In terms of the oil, Laura, the days of America doing these things at our expense, at the taxpayer expense is over. We deserve to be reimbursed for the cost that it took financially to free Venezuela.

5:04Ben Meiselas:Setting them free. We just put in another Maduro stooge who many believe is even more repressive than Maduro is. I mean, set them free. I'll just share with you. This is what a guest said on another program of Fox earlier in the day before it went into their evening program where this guest talked about that Delcy Rodriguez is like a terrorist and that Delcy Rodriguez is someone who would kill all of the Venezuelans who are in the United States if they were to return. Here, play this clip. She's even more radical than Maduro. She's actually the daughter of a Venezuelan terrorist who kidnapped an American businessman and was eventually killed by police forces.

5:48That really shows you how she's a true ideologue, but she's very smart and worldly and she knows how to handle herself. So right now, we Venezuelans fear that they're going to leave us with Delcy Rodriguez, who we know as our chief of torture.

6:03Ben Meiselas:Now, back to Ingraham, as she says, you know, Denmark saying Greenland isn't for sale, though. And then Senator Marino, Margaret Publis like, we'll see about that. Here, play this clip. What about the idea of purchasing Greenland? Denmark said it's not for sale. Well, let's let the 50 ,000 people or so that live in Greenland make that decision. It could mean millions to each one of those people, and they'd have an absolutely much better partner in America that we have the strength, the capabilities to actually help that country thrive and to have a check on Russia and China. I think it's a no-brainer, but instead of having an argument between us and Denmark, let's set the people of Greenland aside.

6:42Ben Meiselas:and by the way while all of this was going on even megan kelly who used to be a host for 20 years on state regime media propaganda she now has her own podcast megan kelly's like yeah this is like she megan kelly's using my language and referring to it as regime propaganda media here play this clip when i was at fox news which was a long time 14 years i would have known exactly what to do in the wake of Trump's attack in Venezuela, his retrieval, shall we say, to put it in mild terms of Nicolas Maduro. I would have known that I was supposed to cheerlead it. And I turned on Fox News yesterday and I'm sorry, but it was like watching Russian propaganda.

7:27There was nothing skeptical. It was all rah, rah, cheerleading.

7:32Ben Meiselas:Yes, let's go. And there was more of Jesse Waters saying, why are people mad that we're stealing the oil from Venezuela? What do you think our economy runs on? Solar panels? Of course we need to steal oil. Again, this is what they're putting on on Fox on a regular basis. Here play this clip. They are mad that we're taking the oil? What do you think this economy runs on? Solar panels? You think we're going to win the AI race with China with windmills. Did the Democrats even build any windmills in four years? Did the Democrats build anything? How about being proud to be an American? And then Jesse Waters goes on and talks about how this is about America building an empire and we'll have our own cartel where we'll control 40 % of the world oil.

8:26Ben Meiselas:Play this clip. She might not break up with the cartels because the cartel kickbacks are what keeps the generals fat and happy but she will hand us back our oil and the golds and the minerals for sure because that's what we're going to need for ai now between canada the united states mexico and latin america that puts trump in control of a north and south american oil empire which would control 40 percent of world oil production kind of makes us the new OPEC. We'd be in the strongest position we've been in a long time. But there's one more thing we need. Greenland has a population of 30 ,000 people, Jake.

9:09The real question is, by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark? The United States is the power of NATO. for the united states to secure the arctic region to protect and defend nato and nato interests obviously greenland should be part of the united states not only are russian and chinese ships sailing all across the arctic looking for riches and new routes the flight paths of russian missiles they go directly across greenland into the united states can't have that the arctic is the new frontier.

9:48It's the new battle space economically and militarily. And this tiny, tiny, tiny Scandinavian country, a NATO member for sure, has an uninhabited colony bigger than Alaska sitting off the coast of Maine. Now, if we're going to defend NATO from the Russians and the Chinese, Denmark's not going to be able to do it because they just can't. And they're getting a little prickly about the situation.

11:58Ben Meiselas:And they have Attorney General Pam Bondi shows up and she parrots Donald Trump's talking points and says, you know, the reason we had to invade is because Maduro emptied his insane asylums into the United States. Donald Trump believes that people who seek asylum come from insane asylums. And Pombandi is regurgitating those talking points. Here, play this clip. And Larry, you know, don't forget the Maduro emptied his prisons. He emptied insane asylums and let those people come into our country during the last administration and President Trump stopped it. Now he is sitting in the Southern District of New York where he and his wife, Celia Maduro will be held accountable for their crimes.

12:59This isn't just a drug dealer. You know, he is, he's a monster. He's a narco terrorist. And she's also charged with three of the counts.

13:08Ben Meiselas:Then you have this weird guy, this MAGA Republican Senator from South Carolina, Tim Scott. And he's like, all of the free people in Venezuela are celebrating. Where, where, where Tim Scott, where are they celebrating? I could show you footage of pro Maduro protesters in Venezuela. I'm not suggesting that they're not being coerced to go out there for Maduro, but there's little to no sign of opposition to Maduro or to the new Delce Rodriguez authoritarian regime. Quite the contrary, there are paramilitary groups roaming the streets of Caracas and elsewhere in Venezuela. And anybody who has pro-U.S.

13:55Ben Meiselas:leanings is being disappeared. But go on, Tim Scott. Tell us about in your imaginary mind where these freedom protests are taking place in Venezuela. Here, play this clip. I do not at all. Let's get right back to the main thing. President Trump is a decisive, effective leader and people, free people, are now celebrating in Venezuela and under dictators Cuba, Iran. Listen, people smell freedom in the air and they can thank Donald J. Trump, our president, number 47, for the freedom they can feel in the air. And that's why people are rising up in countries run by dictators. They now know there might be hope.

14:38Ben Meiselas:Then Lindsey Graham's like, I'll tell you who's in charge of Venezuela. Donald J. Trump. Here play this clip. Who's in charge of Venezuela? Donald J. Trump. Now, people from the regime, the old regime, are helping us. We don't want to put a bunch of troops on the ground. So we got people from the old regime helping us rebuild the country to transition to democratic elections. There will be regime change in Venezuela through the ballot box. But who's in charge of Venezuela? Donald J. Trump. If you defy him, if you're one of the holdovers and you try to undercut him, what happened to Maduro is going to happen to you?

15:14How embarrassing is that?

15:16Ben Meiselas:How utterly embarrassing is that? Then you have Kristi Noem on Jesse Waters. And she did one of her cosplay operations in Minnesota yesterday where she dressed up and she played G.I. Jane. She's like, oh, look how strong I am. So utterly embarrassing. Jesse Waters is like, are people thanking you? And she's like, yes, they are thanking me. For what? for sending Gestapo into states and attacking peaceful communities like a disgusting thug that you are. You are a disgusting thug, Christy Noem. Here, play this clip. Are people thanking you when you're there? I mean, it seems like you're rounding up a lot of bad hombres, and it's kind of out in the open.

16:01Do people come up to you and just say, you know, we've been dealing this trouble for a long time. You know, we appreciate it. They do. The people that are on the streets.

16:12Ben Meiselas:Then you have Lindsey Graham, just basically, I don't even know what he's doing here. I think he's getting aroused saying that Donald Trump is the greatest president of his lifetime. Play this clip. The dictator, the thug is in jail in New York. Donald J. Trump, in my view, is the greatest president of all time. He is cutting your taxes. He's cutting spending. Every drug, drug, narco terrorist, drug dealer, drug leader is on the run. I mean, this guy, Lindsey Graham's a weird dude. Like, whatever Lindsey Graham is struggling with in his personal and private life, like, it's all good, Lindsey. Be whoever you want to be.

16:52Ben Meiselas:Like, that's the thing. Like, just go and be, like, why are you turning into this, like, weird, I'm going to go and we're going to kill you. We get it. Lindsey. Lindsey. Listen, we get it. Okay, Lindsey, we understand what's going on here. Okay. And Lindsey Graham's like, and then we're going for Cuba. Play this clip. And Venezuela, both of them are in a box. It's just a matter of time. And I mean, a short time to the communist dictatorship in Cuba, Cuba that has oppressed their people since the mid fifties falls to be replaced with a democracy friendly to the United States. Cuba will be the Singapore of the region to the people of Cuba.

17:32Help is on the way. He goes, then we're going for Iran. Here, play this clip. Changes coming to Iran. It'll be the biggest change in the history of the Mid-East to get rid of this Nazi regime to the people of Iran. Help is on the way.

17:49Ben Meiselas:And then finally, you have Dr. Oz saying that the American Pediatric Association, the American Association of Pediatrics. He calls it a captured organization with no credibility because the American Association of Pediatrics is coming out against the Trump regime's removal of the key vaccine recommendations. So Trump and RFK have removed the list of most of the vaccine recommendations and substituted with RFK Jr.'s conspiracies. And now they attack the American Association of Pediatrics. Here play this quote. Essentially saying that you're killing public trust in public health by doing this without consulting the experts in the field.

18:37They weren't consulted. And they're basically saying, you know, this is implying that this entire thing is political. The American Association of Pediatrics is a captured organization. and we don't believe they actually even represent half the pediatrician community anymore who are out there saying, what are you guys doing? What are you talking about? Our challenge is to protect our children, not to be a political lobbying group or to launch grenades when folks get to the root causes of why so many Americans don't trust the system anymore. Let's agree that not all vaccines are equal. Not all kids require the same access to those vaccines because we're all different.

19:14but some kids who are high risk will want more vaccines. Give the mothers the choice. No one loves your child as much as you do. Even your pediatrician, or more importantly, the American Association of Pediatrics, doesn't love your child as much as you do. We give you the authority to decide with your doctor what's best for your child, and I will pay for it as the director of CMS per the president's instructions. There's going to be access to all these vaccines. It's up to you to choose what you desire. Get them all if you want. Get just the ones we think are essential if you desire. The choice is yours.

19:43now.

19:45Ben Meiselas:There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million. We appreciate you so much.
