2:14Ben Meiselas:State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, is panicking on air after Donald Trump's disastrous trip to Davos, Switzerland has come to an end. They're specifically freaking out over Donald Trump's rapidly declining cognitive and physical health. They're trying to cover up for that. State regime media is also trying to cover up for the fact that Donald Trump caved yet again after making threats to invade Greenland. And then Donald Trump came up with a fake deal. And now you have state regime media saying this is what the art of the deal is all about. This was intentional. This is what he meant to do the entire time.

2:53Ben Meiselas:Absolutely not. Donald Trump has further eroded the trust and confidence in the United States by our allies and humiliated us yet again on the world stage. So let me just show you what they're doing on state regime media right now. You have people like Laura Ingraham attacking Europe and they're like, Europe's pointless temper tantrum. This was all Europe's fault. Why did Europe do this in the first place? That's why they call it state regime media. Then Lara Trump is on Laura Ingraham and she said, there's nothing wrong with the president. He has all of his faculties. He's literally not sleeping at all because he is just the smartest person there is.

3:34Ben Meiselas:Watch as Donald Trump's daughter-in-law is trying to act like Donald Trump was not cognitively and physically addled while he was in Davos. Here, play this clip. You have all these former Trump officials who I never even met in the White House in the first Trump term, but I guess they had some role. You know, Stephanie Grisham. I wouldn't recognize her if I saw her on the street, but she's like, oh, the Trump speech shows us that he's slipping. Oh, that shows that we need to, I know, I'm just paraphrasing, you know, 25th Amendment. it. Yeah, well, all you need to know is that close to 90 percent, I think, of the signatures given during the Biden administration were done via auto pen.

4:14This president that we have right now, the 47th, has all of his faculties about him. He literally had a three hour delay getting to Davos last night because there was a problem with the plane. He went there, he schooled every single person in that audience about how they ought to be running their countries, about why America is back. You saw it. I loved every single second of this. He exuded strength on the world stage, which is something we were lacking for far too long. They can talk all they want, but the proof is in the pudding. The American people feel it. You can see it with this president every single day.

4:45Ben Meiselas:Then you have Jesse Waters, one of the regime propagandists on Fox. And he said, so what is it? You're calling Donald Trump a four-year-old? You're saying that he's mentally ill? Or is he a dictator? He can't be all of them at once. That's their defense of Donald Trump. Let's play this clip. The speech was dangerous. It was disrespectful and it was unhinged. You saw him ramble on in stories and even try to do voices. I mean, this is really concerning and for the United States, frankly, embarrassing. All right. Have a sense of humor. Is Trump a four-year-old brat or an aging, mentally ill dictator?

5:23You got to pick a lane.

5:24Ben Meiselas:Then they try to attack California Governor Gavin Newsom and they go, Sparkle Beach Ken. He can cross his legs in very elastic ways. That's how you're going after Governor Newsom saying he crosses his legs in elastic ways and calling them Sparkle Beach Ken. You're a play this clip. Yeah, Sparkle Beach Ken, he also can cross his legs in very elastic ways. You wouldn't believe it. Not that I play with dolls, Tommy. I've just, I've seen it unpackaged. The, that sounded even worse. The. Then you have more of Jesse Waters and Tommy Lahren and they're like, look, one of the things that we'll use Greenland for or Denmark for is you can take all of our illegal aliens.

6:10Ben Meiselas:Ha ha ha ha ha. You're just so utterly racist and xenophobic, it's so despicable. Play this clip. I will say though, I have an idea, a negotiation tool, Jesse. Denmark, I know what we can give them. We give them our illegal aliens. We let our diversity be their strength. I think that's a fantastic trade-off. They can take our illegals. We take Greenland. It sounds beautiful to me. Spread the diversity and the strength to the Danes. Okay. And then you have Sean Hannity saying, Europe, you should listen to the lyrics that Donald Trump loves so much. You can't always get what you want. This is worse than Russian propaganda media, but play this clip.

6:50Have the will to fight for our lives and defend our great way of life. Europe's leaders, they would be wise to listen up to the lyrics of one of the president's favorite songs, frequently played at the end of his rallies. You can't always get what you want, but you might just find that you get what you need.

7:09Ben Meiselas:More on what state regime media was doing. You have Jesse Waters bragging that Donald Trump's plan is to now build golf clubs in Gaza. Let's play this clip. Jimmy with his teleprompter, the Trump Board of Peace already doing more than the UN. We're building golf clubs in Gaza. The only thing they'll be fighting over now is tea times. Jesse Waters says that Trump created this board of authoritarians that Trump calls the Board of peace and now it's his golf buddies. So Waters refers to like Putin and Lukashenko and Orban as Donald Trump's golf buddies and says, now this board has replaced the United Nations.

7:53Ben Meiselas:How strong are we? Like Jesse, do you realize how stupid you look? Here, play this clip. When he was in Switzerland, not sure if you heard, he demoted the UN and created the board of peace and packed it with his golfing buddies. I am all in for self-reflection and rethinking how I can make an impact this year.

9:57Ben Meiselas:Then on state regime media, they bring on Senator Banks and he said, all we can say is that this is the art of the deal. Donald Trump has shown once again that what he's done with Greenland is the art of the deal. What are you even talking about? No one from Greenland even knows what the deal is. No one from Denmark knows. No one from NATO knows because this is all made up. And now you've pissed off the entire world even more against this despicable regime. Let's play it. Well, first and foremost, President Trump has proven once again, he's the best negotiator that we've maybe ever had in the White House and moving us closer toward a deal that would give us a greater military presence in Greenland.

10:38Ben Meiselas:More from Senator Banks on regime media. And he's like the Democrats and the media, they were all losing their mind. No one's losing their minds. People are livid that Donald Trump has destroyed the credibility, the strength, the reputation of the United States. It's horrific. Here, play this clip. But this is really good news. The Democrats, the media, they were losing their minds last week over President Trump talking tough about doing something with Greenland. And here we are once again, President Trump pulling a rabbit out of the hat and getting us closer toward a deal that's really in America's best interest that's going to be good for Greenland and NATO too.

11:17Ben Meiselas:Then they continued to go and try to act like, oh, well, Donald Trump is perfectly healthy. He never sleeps. We see Donald Trump sleeping at all of these meetings. Here, play this clip. The auto pen just cut checks, pardoned crooks and almost bankrupted us. I want a boss with flesh and bones who I don't need to program and charge his battery. Like the man who never sleeps. Trump is landing back in America tonight after a pretty busy 48 hours in Davos. Then they bring on Howard Lutnick onto state regime, the commerce secretary. and he says, and again, I guess this is how they're attacking California Governor Newsom.

11:55Ben Meiselas:They said he's commenting about sex toys and knee pads. What is he's commenting on sex toys and knee pads? What are you talking about? So Newsom's over there and he's posturing, you know, he's throwing around knee pads. You're sitting there with the president of the United States. I mean, is he tolerating this? Are you guys laughing about this? What's going on with this governor he's literally laughing i mean he's like you can't believe it right i mean you just can't believe that this guy's gonna run for president and he's actually commenting about sex toys and and knee pads i mean you can't believe it it's it's outrageously entertaining and so the president just has to laugh because what else can you do you're not gonna just you know you know the president he's not gonna just shake his head he's like just cracking up going I can't believe this guy.

12:47Ben Meiselas:I wouldn't be holding up a knee pad if I were running for president. Then they bring on Dan Bongino, the former deputy FBI director, who's now a podcaster again. And he's on Hannity and he's like, people were surprised that I said I got paid for my opinions when I was a podcaster. You're playing this clip. Do you dipwads even read your own headlines? Do you, I mean, are you that stupid? These are these media morons. People who've never spent a day wearing a badge, never kicked in a door, never arrested some child predator or some bank robber or some gang member. These morons don't know anything about the state, the safety status of the country.

13:27Ben Meiselas:By the way, our own top NATO commander over Europe was not even briefed on what Donald Trump was talking about with deals with Denmark and Greenland. And of course, you've seen the clips I played earlier in the day where Greenland and Denmark are like, we don't have no deal with them. Play this clip. We had no discussion about that security framework. We found out about it when everyone else did when it hit the news yesterday. So there was, even though it's been reported elsewhere that we had some military discussion, but that is not. Then you have Jameson Greer, Donald Trump's trade representative, saying we've entered a new world order.

13:59Ben Meiselas:Yeah, one where America is completely weaker and cut out. Play this clip of Trump's trade representative, Jameson Greer. Let's play it. But the reality is we are entering into a new world order. And that's something that a lot of the European officials have been acknowledging during the past couple of days here at Davos. We're entering into a period where some of the economic rules of the past are no longer effective, where some of the security arrangements may need to be rearranged. Now, this is a graphic they keep on showing on Fox all day. And this is from some guy, Josh Wolf. But this is how state regime media tries to spin what Donald Trump does.

14:38Ben Meiselas:What looks like flailing. It's a classic Trump style negotiation sequence. You open with an outrageous demand precisely so your real demand seems reasonable by comparison. It goes like this signal acquisition. Denmark scoffs, mention force. Denmark recoils, insist on force loudly, repeatedly. Denmark reaches peak indignation. Others come to their side, then pivot. That's the art of the deal, everybody. No, it's the art of stupid. And there's a reason why Donald Trump has gone bankrupt over and over again. And he's sending the United States into that bankruptcy as well. Our credibility on the world stage is shot.

15:18Ben Meiselas:It just looks like a stupid Trump company at this point that goes bankrupt. That's what's actually happening if you want to be objective about it. Anyway, hit subscribe, help us get to 6 million subscribers. And thanks for watching.
