Speaker 18 State regime media known as Fox is losing it as their dear leader is getting punched in the face by California Governor Gavin Newsom and we, the people who are fighting back, Fox can't handle it.

Speaker 17 Watch what goes down as Sean Hannity whines that California Governor Gavin Newsom is bullying Donald Trump here.

Speaker 21 Play this clip.

Speaker 22 I have a point.

Speaker 22 Results matter. A new, performative, confrontational style.
Maybe it wins you points with a loony radical base in your party, but America is not going to vote for that record.

Speaker 19 And then you have Hannity continue to talk about how Newsom bullies Donald Trump.

Speaker 13 Watch this.

Speaker 22 He just spent the last several weeks bashing President Trump over the Texas redistricting fight while threatening to gerrymander his own state even more. Not that there's much left to gerrymander.

Speaker 22 And of course, this very public political battle doesn't help the people of California at all. It doesn't even help the Democratic Party.
Helps nobody. It hurts Gavin Newsome.
It's embarrassing.

Speaker 22 I'm embarrassed for him.

Speaker 26 Yeah, and again, somehow this is real.

Speaker 8 Watch this as Sean Hannity says, you know, he's got this social media team and they're being so mean.

Speaker 4 Why are they being so mean to Donald?

Speaker 21 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 22 Now, currently, he and a social media team, they are busy trying to mock President Trump on X by posting messages in all caps. He's trying to pretend to be Donald Trump.

Speaker 22 Gavin is also attacking Fox News hosts. He's trying to bait conservatives into social media fights.
He's actually referred to our own Tommy Laren's account as Yelp for Toilets.

Speaker 22 Gee, very clever and funny. She'll join us in a moment to respond.

Speaker 14 And by the way, this was like the entire day yesterday on Fox.

Speaker 31 That's how you know you're hitting the mark, California Governor Gavin Newsom, when Fox is just rolling this out because they realize, holy crap, we got to brainwash our audience into going, Newsome some bad new some bad because he's destroying us then you had tommy or tomy or tommy laren she's on fox watch what she says here play this clip well first of all sean i would like to give a little wave to gavin because you know he's watching he is obsessed with fox news i don't blame him we have a great network but you know he watches everything that we do when he's of course not on x but he has turned his hand gestures into Twitter fingers to distract from the dismal failure of his state of California.

Speaker 31 And Sean, he often likes to tout that California is the fourth largest economy in the world.

Speaker 31 We don't want to take anything away from California and all of its resources, its great academic institutions. Of course, it's got Hollywood, it's got Silicon Valley, it's got farming, agriculture.

Speaker 31 It's a great, wonderful state. It is the fourth largest economy in the world, despite Governor Gavin Newsom, not because of him.
He's done everything to strangle that state.

Speaker 31 But now he wants to run for president. He wanted to run before Joe Biden passed over him for Kamala Harris.
So now he's gearing up. He is landing into new personas on a weekly basis.

Speaker 20 Oh, you got to bring in Miss Alternative Facts.

Speaker 30 Kelly Ann Conway, here's what she had to say here.

Speaker 21 Play this clip.

Speaker 33 And look at Gavin Newsome. He tried to do this.
Was it a radio show or podcast? Whatever he tried to do. Now he's busy trolling on social media.
And it's cringe. It's falling flat.

Speaker 33 I'm sure they'll come after me now. Who cares?

Speaker 33 Because Donald Trump is one of one.

Speaker 33 Only he can do what he's done with social media, with podcasts, in the way he's done it. 900 rallies and counting.

Speaker 33 The thing that he does that we all miss and don't talk enough about is he just works harder than everyone else.

Speaker 16 Folks, this was all yesterday.

Speaker 8 Every segment on Fox was basically this, other than when they had Just Dance Vance, JD Vance.

Speaker 17 By the way, that's California Governor Newsom's nickname for him.

Speaker 25 Just Dance Vance. And here is Laron saying, look, it's just like Newsom like wants to be a Trump Jr.

Speaker 17 so badly.

Speaker 4 What?

Speaker 21 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 31 He had a podcast with Marshawn Lynch trying to do culture and sports. Now he's trying to be Trump Jr.

Speaker 31 We don't know what we're going to get from this man, but it's not going to be authentic. He plays a role, he plays a part.
Hollywood's in his backyard.

Speaker 31 Go there, be an influencer, do an OnlyFans, whatever you want to do, Gavin, but stop leading your state into the ground. That is what the people of your state are asking from you, not another podcast.

Speaker 29 And I think what California Governor Gavin Newsom is doing so perfectly is he's just shining a light on these MAGAs and what, and he's mocking Trump's style, and the MAGAs can't handle it.

Speaker 28 They can't handle it at all.

Speaker 17 And then by the way, Jesse Waters brings on Ron DeSantis, the fascist governor of Florida, who makes jokes about, I just want to let everybody know

Speaker 17 we're not going to be deporting you just because you're a Georgia fan.

Speaker 36 We don't put you in concentration camps just because you're a Georgia fan.

Speaker 10 That's only only for the illegals. I mean, you sound like a literal freaking Nazi.

Speaker 19 Well, because you are.

Speaker 21 You're playing this clip.

Speaker 38 We have Alligator Alcatraz in southern Florida. This will be in northeastern Florida.
And I just want to dispel any rumors.

Speaker 38 We are not putting any unruly Georgia fans at the Florida-Georgia game and our deportation deal. That's not true.
People are saying it online. Totally not true.

Speaker 38 It's for the processing and deportation of illegal aliens.

Speaker 26 And speaking of which, Russian TV literally using the J.D.

Speaker 13 Vance interview verbatim.

Speaker 17 Like Russian state regime media, all they need to do is take Fox and just play it. That's what they did.

Speaker 8 Take a look at, this is what Russian TV posts.

Speaker 13 JD Vance describes the real Vladimir Putin.

Speaker 10 Again, as someone who loves the United States of America, someone who's like, Putin's the bad guy, Russia's the bad guy.

Speaker 17 Like when I watch what's going on in Fox and what's happened to the Republican Party, and that there's millions of Americans who are like, maybe Putin's the good guy.

Speaker 10 I'm like, what the hell is actually wrong with you people here?

Speaker 17 Watch J.D.

Speaker 14 Vance go, look, I've never actually met Putin before, but when I've spoken to him, he's a great man.

Speaker 29 Very, very calm, very, very nice person.

Speaker 4 What the hell is going on here?

Speaker 21 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 39 What was he like, just one-on-one?

Speaker 11 So I've actually never met Putin. The president did that meeting.
I've talked to him on the phone a number of times.

Speaker 7 You know, it's interesting.

Speaker 11 He's more soft-spoken than you would necessarily expect. You know, the American media has a particular image of him.
He's soft-spoken in a certain way. He's very deliberate.
He's very careful.

Speaker 11 And I think fundamentally he's a person who looks out for the interests as he sees it of Russia.

Speaker 11 And I think one of the reasons he respects the president of the United States is because he knows the president looks out. for the interests of the American people.

Speaker 11 And while they often disagree about issues, and obviously the president has been very critical of Vladimir Putin, the president's also willing to work with anybody if he thinks it's going to accomplish an important goal for America.

Speaker 11 And we all agree, an important goal is to stop the killing.

Speaker 25 As this one account says,

Speaker 10 just Dance Vance speaks more kindly about a man who launched a war of terror that has killed hundreds of thousands of people, including thousands of civilians, than he would speak of any elected Democrat in the United States.

Speaker 10 It's so true.

Speaker 13 I think if you were to ask these MAGA Republicans, would you rather have Putin be in charge or Gavin Newsom?

Speaker 24 I think these MAGA Republicans would be, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 10 I think Newsom's winning them over right now.

Speaker 36 But certainly if you asked them Adam Schiff or Putin, they would 100% say Putin, the Putin who literally wants to kill them versus Adam Schiff, who's a constitutional law scholar and former federal prosecutor.

Speaker 25 Anyway, J.D.

Speaker 9 Vance then lies and says, you know, we've noticed that home costs are going down right now because we've kicked the illegal aliens off the street.

Speaker 8 Okay, before I play this clip, I just got to fact check it.

Speaker 19 Home prices are going up.

Speaker 43 Housing is not affordable, just Dance Vance.

Speaker 36 And you sending migrants to concentration camps isn't lowering the cost of homes.

Speaker 20 This is making this up here.

Speaker 21 Play this clip.

Speaker 11 They were actually defending the rights of illegal immigrants to come into our country, to vote in our elections, to collect social security and Medicaid that ought by right go to American citizens to say nothing of housing.

Speaker 11 This is actually the biggest driver of housing costs in some of these big blue cities is that they've flooded the zone with illegal immigrants.

Speaker 11 As we've kicked illegal aliens out of our country, you actually see housing costs start to level off.

Speaker 11 So fundamentally, the difference between Republicans and Democrats is we care about American citizens. They actually don't like American citizens and want to replace them with low-wage foreigners.

Speaker 11 It's a very stark difference. And I think the American people are going to continue to reward us because of it.

Speaker 14 All right, let's talk some facts here.

Speaker 42 Four companies control over 80% of the U.S. meat industry.
Not good. And China now controls the largest portion of U.S.
pork. Not good.

Speaker 42 These companies are using really awful tactics, in my opinion, to crush American family farms.

Speaker 42 And with the additives they're putting into our food, Americans are stuck with sketchy meat not made in America, truly.

Speaker 26 So what can we do about this?

Speaker 42 Let me tell you about a company that's coming up swinging on behalf of the American Family Farms and your family's food security.

Speaker 35 They're called Moink.

Speaker 42 You know, we love Moink here at the Midas Touch Network. The business is simple.

Speaker 35 Moink's meat comes from animals raised outdoors, where a pig is free to be a pig.

Speaker 42 Their farmers are given an honest day's pay for an honest day's work, and they deliver meat straight to your doorstep at prices you can actually afford.

Speaker 42 Born, raised, and harvested right here in the United States of America. Moink is helping save rural America, which y'all know we need more than ever right now.

Speaker 42 I love Moink, especially their bacon, and I know you will too.

Speaker 41 Join the Moink movement today.

Speaker 42 Support American Family Farms and join the Moink Movement today at moinkbox.com slash Midas Touch right now and get free bacon for a year.

Speaker 42 That's one year of the best bacon you'll ever taste, but for a limited time. It's spelled M-O-I-N-K box.com slash Midas Touch.

Speaker 43 That's moinkbox.com slash Midas Touch.

Speaker 4 Join the movement.

Speaker 20 Now, this was a very revealing moment in Just Dance Vance's interview, where he says, look, the Russians want certain pieces of territory, most of which they've occupied, some of which they haven't.

Speaker 17 Listen to this part. The sum of which they haven't is that Russia wants all of Donbas and they want Zapricia.

Speaker 18 These are areas that are still controlled by Ukraine, heavily fortified areas.

Speaker 29 It would take Russia years and years and years and probably a million to two million more casualties to take this land at the current pace, even if America abdicates and capitulates as it already has.

Speaker 17 So Putin just wants it to be delivered to him by Donald Trump.

Speaker 10 That's what's taking place here.

Speaker 21 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 11 It's a good question. I think that if you go through the bureaucratic process, then the answer is yes.

Speaker 11 But I think the president's preference and my preference would be, let's have them meet regardless. You don't have to figure out every issue.

Speaker 11 And sometimes leaders sitting down face to face can break the log jam that their teams don't necessarily have the ability to do. There really are two big questions lingering out there.

Speaker 11 And in some ways, it's very simple, but in some ways it's very complicated. Number one is Ukraine wants to know that it's not going to get invaded again by Russia.

Speaker 11 It wants to know that it's got territorial integrity long into the future. The Russians want certain pieces of territory,

Speaker 11 most of which they've occupied, but some of which they haven't. So that is really where the meat of the negotiation is.
The Ukrainians want security guarantees.

Speaker 11 The Russians want a certain amount of territory. Again, we finally got the details.
We're working on them, but we haven't figured everything out.

Speaker 11 And I don't think that we should force, you know, we shouldn't say that they can't sit down until you've figured out every little detail.

Speaker 11 Sometimes them sitting down is what facilitates figuring out those details.

Speaker 28 And I just want to be very clear, everybody, as well.

Speaker 17 Think about what was being discussed as part of the deal, why there was this meeting with Putin and the European leaders separately, right? Ceasefire.

Speaker 18 No, there was no ceasefire ever obtained.

Speaker 8 Security guarantees within Ukraine. No, Putin's never agreed to any security guarantees.

Speaker 20 A tri-at, a trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky.

Speaker 17 Putin's never agreed to that.

Speaker 23 So it's all false. It's all bullshit.

Speaker 10 It's all messed up. It's all lies.

Speaker 8 Then you saw how Just Dance Vance talked about Putin.

Speaker 10 Here's how he talks about Zelensky walking into the Oval Office.

Speaker 21 Play this clip.

Speaker 11 Take us into the room because we're all dying to know that.

Speaker 11 Well, I think when, so President Zelensky walked into the Oval Office, I was chatting with him, with the president, with some of the senior Ukrainian delegation. I said, Mr.

Speaker 11 President, so long as you behave, I won't say anything. And he just chuckled a little bit.
It was a good little icebreaker.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 28 And then in the next Nazi-like segment on Fox, you have the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, spokesperson, Assistant Secretary, Tricia McLaughlin and Jesse Waters.

Speaker 8 They start joking about how they're painting some of the border wall black so that it could get extra hot in the summer and burn to death the migrants who touch it.

Speaker 21 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 46 Well, absolutely.

Speaker 46 Secretary Noam was just down in El Paso visiting the border, which we've had zero crossings the last two months, and she's painting that border wall black, especially in these high traffic areas, which under President Trump, really, there are no high traffic places.

Speaker 46 But it not only prevents rust, that black paint, but it also is, which increases durability and longevity of that wall, but also it makes it incredibly hot to the touch.

Speaker 46 So no illegal alien, no drug mule, no criminal or no cartel member is going to try and climb. that border wall.

Speaker 47 So how hot is it? Is it like when I boil water to make my kids mac and cheese hot?

Speaker 46 I think that's pretty comparable, especially in those very hot summer months. But like I said, it's going to be that longevity and that durability as well.
So we're making sure we're using U.S.

Speaker 46 taxpayer dollars well and they're going far.

Speaker 13 Then the next segment, Jesse Waters talks about how Democrats need their own daddy, that they have daddy Trump and Democrats need their own daddy.

Speaker 37 Here, play this clip right here.

Speaker 47 La Dana, they ran two moms and a grandpa and they need to run a daddy. The problem is there's no dads in the party.

Speaker 37 And

Speaker 21 what, Jessica?

Speaker 47 In order to have masculine policies, you need to live your life as a man. You need to live a life of action and you have to live it outdoors.
And the first step is having your own compound.

Speaker 47 Every presidential candidate or president needs their home base, right? Trump had Trump Tower. He's got his golf courses.
He's got the White House now.

Speaker 47 You call people in, you hold court, you control everything.

Speaker 47 That's what they need. Now, I don't know why they don't have that.
Maybe they're ashamed of it. Gavin Newsom has a vineyard.

Speaker 47 Why doesn't he bring in the press to his vineyard and look beautiful outside with all the grapes?

Speaker 6 That's how you do it.

Speaker 47 Americans love to drink wine. Newsflash, Newsom, go to the vineyard, hold a press conference, and act like you're a man of the people.
Don't be ashamed of it.

Speaker 47 Trump does press conferences in front of billion-dollar buildings with his name on it.

Speaker 34 Kenny Bunkport, does that ring a bell?

Speaker 47 How about the Bush Ranch? How about the Reagan Ranch? You do that, you show the American people you know how to work, and then you show them you're a man of leisure.

Speaker 8 More whining by J.D. Vance, Just Dance Vance, over Gavin Newsome social media posts.

Speaker 21 Let's play this clip.

Speaker 11 Stop sounding like crazy people. That really is all it is.

Speaker 11 I mean, this idea that Gavin Newsom is somehow going to mimic Donald Trump's style, I think that ignores the fundamental genius of President Trump's political success, which is that he's authentic.

Speaker 11 He just is who he is. You've got to be yourself.
You've actually got to talk to people honestly about the issues. I don't think it's that complicated.
Don't be a crazy person. Be authentic.

Speaker 11 If the Democrats did that, they'd do a hell of a lot better.

Speaker 13 Just weird, kind of erotic fan fiction about Donald Trump from these MAGAs. Kellyanne Conway is like, ooh, Donald, he has the swagger.

Speaker 18 Look at him.

Speaker 15 Look how muscular and his swagger.

Speaker 44 It's like, y'all are really weird.

Speaker 17 Y'all are a bunch of freaking weird humans.

Speaker 16 I mean, this was this MAGA cult has perverted our politics literally, figuratively.

Speaker 28 You're covering up the Epstein files.

Speaker 17 You're literally helping convicted sex traffickers like Elaine Maxwell. Y'all are a bunch of sick humans.

Speaker 10 And Donald Trump's been found liable for sexual assault.

Speaker 21 Sick human beings here playing this clip.

Speaker 33 For every other issue set going back and forth between the two parties in terms of who has an advantage, the one the Democrats owned for a very long time, sort of the culture and technology and the cool.

Speaker 33 This is the guy with swagger. He's right there.
He's having a blast. He's now doing in the Rose Garden what he does in Mar-a-Lago.
Any of us who have dinner with him, witness that. He plays the music.

Speaker 33 He plays it loudly. People love it.
And who's going to complain? His neighbors are Scott Beston at Treasury.

Speaker 33 The neighbors aren't going to complain about the music coming out of the house. What he's done in the Rose Garden is the ultimate get off my lawn to the left.

Speaker 17 Then they bring in one of Donald Trump's lawyers, Lindsay Halligan, who now is apparently a special assistant to Donald Trump.

Speaker 37 She was one of Trump's former lawyers.

Speaker 13 She talks about how Donald Trump's going to get rid of all of the Smithsonian museums because the museums say that slavery is bad and we need to talk about the good side of it.

Speaker 24 Apparently, what?

Speaker 21 Here, play this clip.

Speaker 48 So here's what the internal review of the Smithsonian exhibitions will entail.

Speaker 48 Public-facing content will be examined, as well as the curatorial process, exhibition planning, collection use, and narrative standards. So what is the practical application of all of that?

Speaker 49 Well, so what we're going to do in the letter, we requested basically an audit for the first time ever of the Smithsonian. We want to see how these placards in these museums have become

Speaker 49 written in such an ideological fashion. And we also want to see how the exhibits are voted on and how they become

Speaker 49 really what the public sees. The Smithsonian has 17 to 20 million visitors a year.

Speaker 49 We need it to represent our country in a positive way.

Speaker 49 We're approaching America's 250th wonderful birthday, and we want the Smithsonian to represent really what our country was founded upon: grit, resilience, perseverance.

Speaker 49 And,

Speaker 49 you know, our goal is for

Speaker 49 ideology to go,

Speaker 49 but knowledge and trust to remain.

Speaker 28 And at least just to kind of have a cleanse here, you have Jessica Tarlov, our friend here.

Speaker 14 She just spits the facts about our economy right now.

Speaker 45 Let's play the American public today or what they're feeling about the economy.

Speaker 34 Is this another poll?

Speaker 45 No, it's not actually.

Speaker 2 It's headlines. Oh, my God.

Speaker 34 Headlines.

Speaker 45 In wake of Trump tariffs, John Deere announces mass layoffs. PepsiCo will increase carbonated soft drink concentrate prices by 10%.

Speaker 45 Sony is raising PS5 prices in the U.S. by $50 across all models.
And electric bills are up 10% so far this year. The election, you can say it was about whatever you want.
It was about cost of living.

Speaker 45 That's what it came down to. People said inflation hadn't come down enough.
Joe Biden doesn't feel my pain. I don't want to hear about Bidenomics.

Speaker 34 What's the impact?

Speaker 33 Comwell was the nominee, by the way.

Speaker 45 No, I'm well aware of the elections, but it was about the Biden administration.

Speaker 1 I was worried you you were going to say that Diet Coke was going up in price, and then no, just happy price.

Speaker 45 You better call me. Well, Coke actually did say that they were going to be raising prices.

Speaker 33 Oh my gosh, I'll have to drink water.

Speaker 11 It's that Coke, Dana, so don't worry.
