Why does the host claim Fox News is collapsing on live TV?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
State regime media known as Fox is just completely collapsing live on air. They're getting high off their own supply of vicious propaganda, so much so that on the morning show, Brian Kilmeade, one of the main Fox hosts, advocated for just engaging in involuntary lethal injection or something like that. Just kill them all, he says, regarding homeless people or people who may suffer from mental illness. He says just kill them all. Here, play this clip.

Billions of dollars to mental health and the homeless population. A lot of them don't want to take the programs. A lot of them don't want to get the help that is necessary. You can't give them a choice. Either you take the resources that we're going to give you and or you decide that you're going to be locked up in jail. That's the
Brian Kilmeade 0:56
way it has to be now. Or involuntary lethal injection or something. Just kill
Unknown 1:00
them. Brian, why did it have to get to this
Brian Kilmeade 1:02
point?

What did Brian Kilmeade say about “involuntary lethal injection” and the homeless?

Brian Kilmeade 1:02
I would say this. We're not voting
Ben Meiselas 1:04
for the right people in North Carolina. Wake up. Now, I went back and I tried to watch it and say, you know, was I taking this out of context in any way? Could he really have said it? Did he say those words? He did. And then he's continued to say those words over and over again this weekend. Again, you have Brian Kilmeade. Blaming the political assassination of Melissa Hortman, the former Speaker of the House in Minnesota. She was killed by a radical right Trumper with a political agenda against her as a Democrat. That's what happened. It is an undisputed fact. This is not a situation where it was in the Charlie Kirk case, a 22 year old white kid of ambiguous background, but whose family was a Trump supporter.
Ben Meiselas 1:56
That was a disaster. There's a big distinction there. So here, Brian Kilmeade says the Minnesota legislator was killed because they didn't like what Tim Walz was doing or a former staffer of Tim Walz. So he's just blaming Democrats again here. That's what you're doing. The same thing that Fox was trying to push as it relates to Charlie Kirk also. And that narrative was all they do is just freaking lie over and over again. Here's Kilmeade play this clip. And then June
Brian Kilmeade 2:27
14th, these Minnesota legislatures were knocked out, were killed. Something to do with what's going on locally. They didn't like what Tim Waltz was doing or a former staffer of Tim Waltz. Regardless, deranged actions,
Ben Meiselas 2:41
life and death. And then you have Kilmeade over here saying that it's pretty obvious that Charlie Kirk's killer was not a Trump guy, because if you're not for Charlie Kirk, you're not for Donald Trump. Here, play this clip. No, his grandparents said we're
Brian Kilmeade 2:59
a Trump household. He was unaffiliated.

How did Fox blame Democrats for Charlie Kirk’s murder and what was the reaction?

Brian Kilmeade 3:02
And it was pretty clear that he was not for Trump, because if you're not for Charlie Kirk, you're not for Trump.
Ben Meiselas 3:08
And by the way, it kept on going. They said, you know, those Democrats, they refused to allow a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. They refused a moment of silence in the House of Representatives. Here, play this clip.
Unknown 3:23
Yeah, they wouldn't
Ben Meiselas 3:24
even...
Unknown 3:24
Exactly. This is a perfect example of their fake compassion. They wouldn't even allow a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk on the House floor. They... They said no to that. And so I'm just unimpressed.
Ben Meiselas 3:41
They did do a moment of silence. OK, you had MAGA Republican MAGA Mike Johnson called for a moment of silence. Then everybody was silent for the requisite period of time. I'm only going to show you 18 seconds because I don't want to show more. But then I'll tell you what happened here. Play this clip.
Mike Johnson 4:00
The chair would ask that all members present in the chamber and those in the gallery please rise for a moment of prayer for Charlie Kirk and his family.
Ben Meiselas 4:18
OK, so clearly there was a moment of silence. What happened after was MAGA Republican Lauren Boebert says, let's do it again, she says. And now let's do a prayer session for Charlie Kirk. Let's do a prayer session, everybody. And the Democrats are we're not doing a prayer session. We just did a moment of silence. Let's get on with the business of the House. Like, what are we doing here? Another separate prayer.
