Let's check in on state regime media known as Fox as Donald Trump is crashing the economy and he failed in whatever you want to call those discussions with Putin. He didn't get the ceasefire that he promised on day one now that we're in March 19th.
So what's Fox talking about? Well, Fox propagandist Jesse Waters brings on this like right wing podcaster and they talk about sipping from straws and that men don't use straws. Here, play this clip.
David's the founder of Valuetainment. Do you ever drink a milkshake and drink it with a straw? Jesse, I'm sitting here laughing.
I'm sorry. I got to tell you, I've just been cracking up the entire time, but let me put it to you this way.
You're like such a bizarre network and they get extra weird as Donald Trump continues to tank. Then you have Greg Gutfeld, one of the chief propagandists on Fox and his message to the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court is shut the F up.
Shut the F up, Justice John Roberts. That's what they're platforming on state regime media known as Fox.
Watch for yourself. Our chief legal analyst, Greg Gutfeld.
Oh, yes. Well, I'm glad you asked me that question.
Look, John Roberts says it's not appropriate. It's not an appropriate response when you disagree with a judge.
It is really a surprise to me that Trump doesn't follow the appropriate protocol when there are rapists and murderers invading our country. Maybe a guy in a robe in D.C.
can follow all the protocols, but Trump is the effing president of the United States who protects 300 million-plus people. He is a leader who does not have the luxury of opening up his little books to read.
Oh, my God, maybe he didn't do it the right way. Roberts, shut the eff up.
This is something that a president has to do. He has to do this.
Now, throughout the day on state regime media known as Fox, they were saying, shut the F up, Chief Justice Roberts. They were bullying and attacking federal judges, specifically the federal judge in Washington, D.C., District Court Judge Boesberg, who's the chief judge of the federal court in Washington, D.C.
He used to be the chief judge of the FISA court because this judge issued an injunction saying, Donald Trump, you can't implement the Alien Enemies Act for 14 days without further briefing of the court so we can make sure that there is a process here and we know what's going on. So you're not just taking people and calling them gang members without us knowing if they're actually gang members or not or whatever.
And you have to give people some sort of process. You can't just take people and claim they're criminals without presenting evidence or having a hearing and then sending people to concentration camps in El Salvador, well,

they're never going to be heard from again. A lot of these Venezuelans who Trump picked up,

who Trump claims to be gang members because of a tattoo or some other data that they don't want to

discuss under national security, the family members of these people are saying they're not

gang members. They weren't engaged in crimes.
Now, they may be gang members. They may have engaged in crimes.
If they are, they should get the book thrown at them, but they should get process. There's something called the Constitution.
That's my view of it. And again, I'm a law and order person who wants to see people who commit crimes get the book thrown at them, go to jail, go to prison for a long time.
Just we're a country of laws still. I know the Trump regime doesn't like that.
Then they have Trump's special envoy, Steve Whitcoff. He goes on state regime media and he praises Vladimir Putin.
He goes, President Putin was so great with Donald Trump and Trump was so great with Putin. Here, watch this.
So I think there have been some breakthroughs. I would commend President Putin for all he did today on that call to move his country close to a final peace deal.
And I would say, and I would give all the credit to President Trump, his election, peace through strength, the perception that there are no alternatives,

that a good peace, a lasting peace, a durable peace is important for both sides.

And the president was, you know, it's I can't I can't understate or I can't pardon me, I

can't overstate how compelling he was on this call.

He was he was he's a natural born leader, Sean, and he demonstrated that today. I've seen him in action.
I know him pretty well, Steve, like you have known him 30 years. And there's no other human being like him, I will say that.
Really so great. They didn't do a deal.
All they talked about was like the United States and Russia playing hockey together in the future and Trump wanting to do big, huge economic deals with Russia in the future. Purportedly, they talked about a ceasefire as it relates to energy infrastructure only, whereas President Zelensky agreed to an absolute ceasefire.
Putin didn't. And then right after the discussions with Trump, a Russian bomb took out the power, attacking energy infrastructure in a Ukrainian city just hours after, allegedly, Putin and Trump agreed not to strike in energy infrastructure for 30 days while peace negotiation proceeds.
It's all BS with Trump. It's all lies.
There's no ceasefire. There's no peace in 24 hours in Ukraine.
What Trump did do, though, over the past 48 hours is he was in part responsible for the ceasefire being removed in Gaza, where over 400 people were killed in Gaza by Netanyahu. Trump was responsible for

breaking that ceasefire. Horrific stuff.
Over here as well, you have egg, this is the Fox graphic,

inflationation sponsored by, I don't know, Lear Capital, whatever the hell that is.

And so Fox is now just lying to its viewers that egg prices are super cheap now again. Egg prices are now $3.45.
Where? Maybe one or two places. I don't know.
But they're using the wholesale price that was given by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The lady who runs the U.S. Department of Agriculture, by the way, that was one of the agencies, all the agencies are gutted by the Trump regime, but she's the lady who said you should buy chickens if you want your eggs.
And now all of a sudden they're saying the wholesale price is $3.45, but they're comparing it to the retail price. Eggs in California are $10.
I think in Colorado, they're like $8. In other states, they're like $9.
I'm sure there are some states where they're three bucks, but eggs aren't $3.45. This is not true.
But state regime media will tell you it is. You have Scott Besant, Donald Trump's treasury secretary, goes on Fox.
Now, Besant lives in the real life version of Barbie's Dollhouse, a $22 million pink mansion in Charleston, South Carolina.

Here's Scott Besant saying, we're unstoppable. We're on a roll.
Things couldn't be better.

Play this clip. These tariffs.

No, no, no. Maria, what's going to happen on April 2nd, each country will receive a number

that we believe represents their tariffs.

So for some countries, it could be quite low. For some countries, it could be quite high.
So there's not an automatic 25 plus 25 that's going to happen. And the poll you just read, I think that that's a source of a lot of the consternation that's happening.
And what we can see here in the administration is President Trump is on what is seemingly an unstoppable roll since January 20th. Did you know that 90% of Americans are nutrient deficient? That's a shocking number.
But the solutions you'll find in the supplement aisle, they're temporary and full of synthetic ingredients and artificial sweeteners. That's why GEM is the first real food multivitamin formulated with ingredients our bodies were built to absorb and free from synthetic ingredients.

Let's play it. The other day, you were asked a question by another outlet.
Can you guarantee that we're not going to have a recession? And you wanted to address that this morning. Yeah, well, look, it was a silly question.
Can you guarantee there's not going to be a recession? I can't guarantee anything. I can't guarantee that the journalist who asked me the question that her news program is going to be on in a year.
Here, even Maria Bartiroma then appears to lose patience with Besant over their tariffs.

Let's play it.

And they have substantial tariffs. And as important as the tariff are some of these non-tariff barriers where they have domestic content production, where they do testing on our, whether it's our food or products that bear no resemblance to safety or anything that we do to their products.
See, these are the things that people are really worried about because they first thought it was just about trade. Then they thought it was just about fentl then after that we talked about well maybe it's currency manipulation and maybe it's now you're talking about food testing and when i bring up the issue of clarity that's that's what i'm talking about and that's what i'm hearing from corporate america that we're not sure where this is going but of course we will get resolution on on august on april 2nd rather Then you have Rick Scott.
You want to find the Medicaid fraud? You know where it is? This guy. Senator Rick Scott of Florida got rich off of a company that was involved in the largest Medicaid fraud settlement in the history of the United States.
That's where it is. I found it.
I found it right here, right with this guy. Here he goes, basically starts threatening war against Iran.
The regime that said, no more wars, but we're going to make peace. Bringing us into all of these wars.
Here play this clip. They do their part.
Every democracy in the world has got to say, stop doing business with Iran. The only way we can do it is hopefully we have to destroy their economy.
It's horrible for the Iranian people, but it's the only way to prevent them from having a nuclear weapon. And maybe we're going to have to go in or Israel's going to have to go in and destroy their ability to create a nuclear weapon because they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
So thank God Trump's there. Thank God Marco Rubio is around, Mike Waltz, all these guys that are going to do everything they can to hold Iran accountable.
The world has to hold them accountable for what they're doing. So then one of the things, too, state regime media has to do, they have to platform the oligarchy.
It's funny, though, that everything's backfiring, though, with what they do. As they get more desperate and they platform like Musk and these Muskrad and these Trumpers, it has the opposite effect of what they actually want to happen.
So you're looking at the Tesla stock. Tesla stock is plummeting, plummeting, free fall, free fall, and for sure, for sure.
Then they bring on Elon Musk. And Elon Musk, in front of the White House, goes, we're just implementing the will of the people.
This is the will. This is what the people want.
They want veterans to be fired. They want 70,000 jobs at the VA to be cut.
That's the will. They want me to call social security a Ponzi scheme.
That's the will. They want me to get rid of Medicaid and to fire all the people who work at the FAA and the NIH and the CDC and the national parks and get rid of the Department of Education.
Yeah, screw over poor kids and kids with cancer. Got the cancer research.
It's the will of the people. That's what they want.
They want to send people to concentration camps in El Salvador without having hearings or evidence to determine if crimes are even committed. The will of the people, man.
Yeah, I'm from South Africa. I mean, it's stupid stuff.
Here, play this clip. And really, we're just implementing the will of the people.
And we've got this window where we can finally take corrective action. We can fix the government, fix the country, and create a great future.
and again that's only possible because of president trump uh well i can't say no good things about him i mean right i mean y'all just just lower just leave us alone i mean that's kind of what it boils down to right like with former president biden you just woke up you didn't think about the crazy shit like this. Excuse my language.
You just went through the day. The markets would do fine.
Businesses were doing fine. Fox would throw out everything that they could to undermine Biden, and corporate media would buy and hook, line, and sinker.
But what is this? Here's Elon Musk on state regime media in front of the White House trying to pump the Tesla stock.

Here, watch this.

Yeah, it turns out when you take away people's, you know, the money they're receiving fraudulently, they get very upset. And they basically want to kill me because I'm stopping their fraud.
and they want to hurt tesla because we're stopping this this terrible waste uh and corruption in the government and uh well i guess they're bad people uh bad people do bad things oh really elon bad people do bad things that's funny funny coming from you bad people do bad things? Like treat veterans like crap and fire them or fire tens of thousands of federal workers and lie and claim you're firing them because of their job performance when they were performing fine and exceeding expectations or meeting expectations. bad people bad I don't know.
Bad people like Putin, like the people, like, you know, bad people like cutting off intelligence to Ukraine and causing people to die in Ukraine. Bad people, bad people.
Bringing Zelensky into the Oval Office and attacking him, a war hero, someone who's trying to save his country. Bad people, bad people like you, Elon,

Trump, and the whole regime. It's actually how I would define these.
These are bad people.
