Why did Fox News have a live‑on‑air meltdown over the disaster budget bill?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
State regime media, known as Fox, was having the biggest meltdown on live TV I've seen yet, as the disastrous budget bill was failing. The Fox hosts were on live TV saying, Hey Donald, call in so we can do coercion together and we can threaten the MAGA Republicans who don't want to vote for this. Let's do coercion together. Literally, that's what they. Just now.
Unknown 0:27
Now Trump on Truth Social said the following for Republicans, this should be an easy yes vote. Ridiculous. Just now the president is still up. If he's watching, Mr. President, call in, we'll we'll we will do some coercion together. And that's the whole thing.
Ben Meiselas 0:43
And then they started doing coercion together. I mean, for example, you had former MAGA Republican Congress member Shafetz go on Fox. He was on Hannity. He was on Jesse Waters. And he was saying to all those MAGA Republicans who want to vote against this, shame on you. We're coming for you. We're coming after you. Here, watch this.
Unknown 1:04
And so you can either vote with the AOC or you can vote with Donald Trump. So don't tell me that you're a conservative if you're not with Donald Trump. That's not gonna fly. You're never coming back, and shame on you, and you get on that plane and try to go home and try to tell everybody, Oh, I stood tough. Yeah, I got these big Instagram muscles. Look how tough I am on Twitter. Well, you don't support the president. President. That's that's just not good on That's that's just not gonna be a little bit
Ben Meiselas 1:31
clicks, Jason. Everyone's looking for a click. And he continued here Shafit said one more time: if you're one of those last three nay votes, if you vote no, again, we are coming after you. Here, watch for your
Unknown 1:45
That's why you better get in line. It this is a this is a game right now, Sean, of musical chairs. If you're one of those Republicans that are in the last three, because that's what it'll be, if there are three nay votes, you will never be involved and engaged in politics because you can't say that you're a Republican and support Donald Trump.

How did Fox hosts try to coerce MAGA Republicans to support the bill?

Unknown 2:05
That's the game they're playing, that's the dangerous game they're playing, and why they're messing around with President. President Trump at this hour, at this time, get over it. Vote yay, get on with the rule, and then vote on final pass. Ah, I tend to agree at that point.
Ben Meiselas 2:20
Think it's extraordinarily well said. Then they had Congressmember Smith go on. They started showing the graphics of the MAGA Republicans who were voting against the disastrous budget bill. And they basically said, We're coming after you. We know who you are. Um, the Chiron, look at what the Chiron's reading. It's basically reading Trump pressures the holdouts. And Fox went on this full court process. Press here, watch it, let's play it.
Unknown 2:46
Trace, failure is not an option. This bill will go through. It will be sent to the president's desk so that he can sign it into law on July 4th. The members that are holding out right now from not voting, they will vote for this, and we will have the votes to pass it and send it to the president's desk. The last thing those members want to do is to align themselves with the Democrats. and allow the largest tax increase in the history of America to show up on every one of their constituents.
Ben Meiselas 3:18
Okay, more from this Shea Fitz guy. He goes, I dare you to vote against our dear leader. He goes, President, I dare you to vote against it. Here, watch for yourself. Let's play it. Big uh big picture. Does he
Unknown 3:29
have what happens in the house with that bill? Oh, they'll pass it in the middle of the night. They're gonna cut some sort of deal. Oh, we'll bring up your piece of legislation. They don't have earmarks anymore, which is a good thing. But the president, uh he's gonna get there. And you know what? I dare you, dare you to vote against the president on this. Because your political career will just be bye-bye. Yeah.

What did former MAGA Rep. Shafetz say about Republicans voting ‘no’?

Unknown 3:49
Tom Tillis, bye-bye.
Ben Meiselas 3:51
Is seriously he keeps on going? He goes, how dare these people? These are all different clips. And Fox was airing stuff like this the entire day here watching.
Unknown 4:00
And how dare these people sit back and say who every one of those members of Congress who are can't get over the the hump and actually vote for his signature piece of legislation, give me a break.
