Speaker 7
State regime media known as Fox News is collapsing on air. They don't know what to do, and they're freaking out that prices right now are surging.
And they even had one segment.
Speaker 7 And here's what they said here. Play this clip.
Speaker 12 Prices are up in the United States for coffee. It's up almost 20%.
Speaker 12 Utility
Speaker 12 up 11.7%.
Speaker 12 And then electricity is up 5.1%.
Speaker 12 And vehicle repair, if you need your car fixed, it's up 11.5%.
Speaker 7 Yeah, there's no way that even state regime media Fox can hide it.
Speaker 7 They then bring on this MAGA Republican RNC chair, and he tries to say that the elections that took place on Tuesday were not as bad as they seem.
Speaker 7
He says, I'm glad our Republican candidates kept things close and we made the Democrats spend a lot of money. That's what you're bragging about here.
Play this clip.
Speaker 13 But they're not convinced that it's working, that things are becoming more affordable.
Speaker 13 What would you tell voters voters about when the things that you just mentioned are going to be felt by people across the country, that things will feel better, prices will feel lower?
Speaker 14 Well, listen, I have empathy and I feel for everybody across the board who's hurting and is certainly hurting as a result of the Schumer shutdown.
Speaker 14
But some of these solutions are not going to be fixed overnight. We have to continuously work on them.
And the president's doing everything that he can.
Speaker 14 And yes, these elections, as bad as they were for Republicans, at the end of the day, these are deep blue states, not blue states, deep blue states.
Speaker 14 And listen, we made the Democrats spend a lot of money to keep these woke candidates elected.
Speaker 14 I mean, I'm glad we were able to keep it close and they were spinning their wheels and spending lots of money. But listen, we've had a plan for the midterms from the beginning.
Speaker 14
We're sticking with that plan. And I think that at the end of the day, our plan is to make sure we keep the midterms on the Republican side.
And we're continuing to move forward with that plan.
Speaker 7 Okay, next, you had Fox hosts.
Speaker 7 They got in touch with MAGA Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, and they asked him, so what do you think about this Democratic offer to come up with a compromise, end the government shutdown, extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies for Americans by one year, then agree to renegotiate and make sure Americans will have their health care for at least one more year, but then have a date certain so we could continue to extend these ACA subsidies even longer, but at least we can make sure for this year we preserve them.
Speaker 7 And Lindsey Graham says, oh, I think that's a horrible idea. Here, play this clip.
Speaker 16 Can we ask you about this new Democrat offer? What do you make of the one-year ACA?
Speaker 17 Terrible, horrible.
Speaker 18 I'm not going to keep giving taxpayer dollars to the five largest health care insurance companies under Obamacare to get the government open.
Speaker 7 I'm going to do a whole other video about the Democratic senators and congress members who called MAGA's bluff right here here because, you know, I think it's a good faith offer.
Speaker 7 Frankly, I would want to make sure the Affordable Care Act subsidies are extended permanently, the same way Trump and MAGA extended the tax cuts for the billionaires permanently. But let's...
Speaker 7 Let's try to deal with the solution and come up with stuff.
Speaker 7 And MAGAs, there's nothing you can do for MAGA other than literally deprive 42 million Americans of their SNAP benefits and rip away health care. Cruelty is the point with these MAGAs.
Speaker 7 So then on Fox, they bring on Kevin Hassett. He's Donald Trump's top economic advisor.
Speaker 7 And he just straight up says, he goes, I know, I think the Treasury Secretary was right when he said that there are major pockets in the economy that look like they may be in a recession.
Speaker 7
So yeah, there's lots of places in the economy that's bad. This is what Trump's own people are saying.
Listen up. They're saying it on Fox here.
Play this clip.
Speaker 16 Yeah, there's holiday travel, but there's business travel. Business travel is a really big, important part of air travel.
Speaker 16 And if 10% of business travel isn't happening, then those are deals that aren't being cut and hotel rooms that aren't being filled.
Speaker 16 And so the ripple effects and then the multiplier effects of all that are really, really large.
Speaker 16 And so I think that Secretary Bessett wisely said we're starting to see pockets of the economy that look like they might be in a recession, that we're not in a recession because of this, but there are pockets that are really hurting.
Speaker 16 And if we go another month or so, then who knows how bad the economy could be this quarter. And we know whose fault that will be.
Speaker 7
And here he is again. Hassett says, you know, look, to be sure, the labor market is soft right now.
Again, they're saying it out loud. Soft, by the way, is an understatement.
Speaker 7
In the first three quarters, America lost 950,000 jobs. In October alone, America lost 153,000 jobs.
This is the most job loss since the Great Recession.
Speaker 7 Also, the consumer confidence data that came out shows consumer confidence, economic expectations, like the lowest since the 1970s.
Speaker 7 People are suffering right now, and this is what the Trump regime is saying. Here, play this clip.
Speaker 19 But if we are talking about a weakened fourth quarter, which obviously we are, doesn't that put the fire under the Federal Reserve to move in December?
Speaker 19 I mean, Federal Reserve officials are split on the path ahead. After last month's rate cut, Chairman Jay Powell signaled that the Fed may pause in December.
Speaker 19 Even as some is warning, some people are warning about a weakening labor report and overall market. I mean, Challenger Gray and Christmas yesterday said that U.S.
Speaker 19 companies have announced more than 153,000 job cuts in October, and that is the highest for the month in 22 years, Kevin. So how would you assess the jobs picture, and what about the Fed?
Speaker 16 Well, the Challenger report was one of the worst. You know, we have got like a whole bunch of different reports, and the Challenger report was one of the worst ones we've seen.
Speaker 16 But to be sure, the labor market is a little bit softer right now, in part, I think, because of the uncertainty over the government shutdown.
Speaker 7 Then they bring on their labor secretary who you know i call the anti-labor secretary lori chavez duramer maga through and through
Speaker 7 and she says you know what we all need to remember was trump was doing great she says she says the economy was roaring jobs were being created she said but then this government shutdown happened and so we the magas we're just going to blame everything on Trump's government shutdown and say it was going to be so good, but then this happened.
Speaker 7 By the way, doesn't that sound familiar? That's what he was saying right before COVID, right?
Speaker 7
It was all going to be so great, but then Donald Trump mishandled COVID and said, like a miracle, it was all going to go away. And then it was terrible.
So could we just analyze the first few months?
Speaker 7 By the way, the months before the government shut down were not good, right? I mean, the first quarter, we saw a major contraction, negative growth. But go ahead, Laurie Chavez-Doremer.
Speaker 7 Here, play this clip.
Speaker 12 The president has done a wonderful job because the consumer confidence was up.
Speaker 12 The momentum this administration was on with energy prices down, grocery prices down, the stock market has been up, economic growth 3.8 percent, expected to go up even further.
Speaker 12 This is really, this democratic shutdown has hurt the American men and women of this country who are working so hard every single day to just get ahead.
Speaker 12 And now, I don't think Democrats even have taken that into consideration while they play these political games.
Speaker 12 And it's just to hurt this president and this administration and stop the momentum that we were on.
Speaker 7 You hear that?
Speaker 20
That's the sound of nostalgia meeting something brand new. I've always loved soda.
It's one of those small joys from childhood I can never quite quit.
Speaker 20
But let's be honest, the sugar crash and the guilt, not so great. That's why I'm obsessed with Ollipop, the new kind of soda that actually supports your health.
Their latest collab is so fun.
Speaker 20 It's the pineapple-yeah soda from Bikini Bottom, a limited edition flavor called Pineapple Paradise, inspired by SpongeBob's iconic pineapple home.
Speaker 20 It's juicy pineapple sweetness with a splash of mandarin, pure liquid joy, just like SpongeBob himself. And each four-pack has five collectible SpongeBob can designs hidden inside.
Speaker 20
It's like a treasure hunt. You never know which one you'll get.
Collect them all and unlock sweet rewards at drinkollipop.com/slash SpongeBob.
Speaker 20 Ollipop has all the soda taste you grew up with, but only two to five grams of sugar per can and nine grams of prebiotic fiber to support your gut health.
Speaker 20 Get $2 off a four-pack of Ollipop, any flavor, including SpongeBob, at drinkollipop.com/slash Midas. That's drinkollipop.com/slash M-E-I-D-A-S.
Speaker 20 Available online and in stores nationwide at Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Kroger, Publix, and more. Ollipop, soda you'll actually feel good about drinking.
Speaker 7 Next, Fox brings on MAGA Republican Senator Rick Scott, who before he was a senator, he was involved in the largest Medicare and Medicaid criminal fraud scam in American history, nearly $2 billion.
Speaker 7 That's how this guy got rich before going into politics. And he's like the main person that MAGA wants to like be involved in cutting
Speaker 7 fraud, waste, and abuse in
Speaker 7
these programs. Literally, Mr.
Waste, Fraud, and Abuse, a guy who invoked his Fifth Amendment multiple times and whose company settled criminal charges.
Speaker 7
That's who MAGA's putting in charge of all of this. You know, he just gets up there and he's like, we really just have to admire Donald Trump's stamina.
I mean, this man is so fit.
Speaker 7 I mean, these people are so utterly pathetic. You're playing this clip.
Speaker 22
He hates war. He hates war.
He's trying to bring peace to the Middle East. Think about how many people's lives will improve if we can get peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 22 And so, you know, I'm very appreciative of his hard work.
Speaker 22 I was over there at breakfast on Tuesday, and this guy, Trump, is just busting his butt every day, working hard to get our economy going, to bring peace. I mean, you really have to admire.
Speaker 22 He's got a lot of stamina.
Speaker 21 And also, he's doing the rare earth deals that are going to free us from the extortion that China has put us through.
Speaker 7 Then you bring on MAGA Republican Congressmember Tom Emmer, and he says, you know, the real issue here is these Democrats are scared to death to reopen government. It's insane.
Speaker 7 Then he goes and somehow tries to link this with assassination attempts of Donald Trump. By the way, what are you even talking about?
Speaker 7 The person in Butler who attempted the assassination, or whatever happened in Butler,
Speaker 7
came from a MAGA family. I mean, was like a Republican MAGA Trumpy family.
Anyway, here, play this clip.
Speaker 24 Most of these senators are scared to death that if they vote to reopen the government,
Speaker 24 the insane, I would argue, the people that frankly fantasize about the assassination of our great president,
Speaker 11 they will turn on them.
Speaker 24 So they're doing this for the smallest group of people, the most violent and virulent, as opposed to the American people.
Speaker 24 We just need five of them to grow a spine today and get this thing to the president's desk.
Speaker 7
Then Fox had to embarrass itself more. They gave Melania Trump their Patriot of the Year award.
Take a look right here at Sean Hannity.
Speaker 7 He's dyeing his face orange as well, just like Donald Trump, be clowning himself. There he is, zooming on his face.
Speaker 7 Then you had Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, previous Fox weekend host who now unlawfully refers to himself as the Secretary of War.
Speaker 7 And he gives a speech at this Fox Patriot Award event that Melania Trump won their person of the year. I mean, just think, this is like worse than North Korea, folks.
Speaker 7 This is some weird state regime media stuff.
Speaker 7 And Pete Hegstiff thinks this is funny to joke about how Mike Waltz, who used to be the National Security Advisor, who's now the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, would use signal chats to talk about war plans.
Speaker 7 And this is like a joke. Like they find it so funny that they gave away classified and highly classified information on signal chats where they invited a reporter accidentally.
Speaker 7 I mean, that's how pathetic these scumbags are. Anyway, here, play this clip.
Speaker 25
So many dear friends, so many people I love, so many incredible colleagues. I see Mike Wallace.
Mike, I'll hit you up on Signal later.
Speaker 25 Too soon?
Speaker 25 Come on.
Speaker 7
Then you have Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. Scott Besant was like, I think next year is our year.
We're on the cusp of liftoff. Just you wait until 2026, 2027.
The best is yet to come.
Speaker 7 Here, play this clip.
Speaker 26
Well, I want to talk about jobs. The 300 permanent jobs in this one, but we're not getting a jobs report today.
So going forward,
Speaker 26 when can we see some of these investments turn into real jobs that the president's been talking about?
Speaker 17 Well, I think this is the perfect example because when I was talking to the folks here, there are 800 construction jobs building this facility.
Speaker 17 They think that they can make it six to ten times bigger.
Speaker 17
They bought all the land around this. Where we're sitting used to be a soybean field in rural South Carolina.
And
Speaker 17 so I think we are at the cusp of the liftoff in 2026, 2027.
Speaker 17 President Trump was committed to bringing the manufacturing jobs back to America. And this is the start.
Speaker 17 And the good part about this is not only this high-paying jobs, this is part of national and economic security.
Speaker 7 Again, just completely, utterly pathetic. Then you had Byron Donald's, MAGA Republican Congress member, who says, oh, anything bad in the economy, inflation, that's all the Democrats' fault.
Speaker 7 He's like, you just got to blame the Democrats for literally everything. So what are you going to do? Like four years in, everything's going to be the Democrats' fault.
Speaker 7
I mean, these people are such babies. They just whine about everything.
They blame, blame, blame here. Play this clip.
Speaker 27 The inflation that is still hurting, in some respects, our economy, that was unleashed by the Democrats with no Republican votes.
Speaker 27 Healthcare policy in our country, where premiums have skyrocketed, deductibles have skyrocketed, that was passed through by Democrats with no Republican input.
Speaker 27 And now they're back saying they need even more subsidies to cover up their irresponsible health care policies. That was pushed through by them.
Speaker 27 Look, at some point, in my view, the next time the Democrats have the trifecta, they are going to get rid of the filibuster.
Speaker 27 And when they do that, they're going to start moving towards universal health care, which was the original design from Obamacare 15 years ago. That's really where they want to go.
Speaker 27 They are going to pack the courts.
Speaker 27
They're going to make D.C. a state.
So my view is, let's actually get real policy solutions on health care, on energy, on regulatory reform, on real immigration visa reforms.
Speaker 27
I saw Senator Schmidt the other day called for an end to H-1B visas, and it is a scam. It does need to end.
It needs to be completely ended. And there needs to be a bunch of visa overhauls.
Speaker 27 Do you think Senate Democrats are interested in visa overhauls that actually make sense for the American people and American workers? No, they don't. They're not going to do these things, Maria.
Speaker 27 We've seen enough, and that's why my position is the way it is.
Speaker 7
This is kind of weird and creepy. Jesse Waters is talking about Sidney Sweeney breaking the silence on the Good Genes ad.
This says, Rose Benson says, people are standing in red lines.
Speaker 7
And Fox wants to cover Sidney Sweeney breaking her silence on Good Genes ads. Then Vivek Ramaswamy on Fox.
This is literally the Chiron. It says, by winning, Democrats are losing.
Speaker 11 By winning, Democrats are losing.
Speaker 7
And then you had Erica Kirk on the Fox Patriot Awards. And I guess here's what went down here.
Play this clip.
Speaker 1 I will make sure
Speaker 12 that I don't stay silent.
Speaker 13 I'll keep speaking the truth no matter the cost.
Speaker 2 No matter the cost.
Speaker 7
Yeah, that's state regime media for you, folks. Very bizarre.
