How is Fox News struggling with Trump's economic narrative?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
state regime media known as fox is really struggling as donald trump torpedoes our economy you know they're doing their best as state regime media trying to pump up trump's lies but it's just belied by the data there's really nothing they can do i mean fox is trapped right now They previously brought on Trump's top economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, who said things are great. There's 100% guarantee he says no recession, but we'll show you what they're now saying. But here's Kevin Hassett, let's play it.

What did Kevin Hassett say about the possibility of a recession?

Beth Van Dunn 0:32
Real quick, are you expecting a recession this year?
100% not, 100% not. If you look at the jobs numbers, they're very, very strong. When I talk anecdotally to CEOs, I say things like, well, geez, is the uncertainty over tariffs looking like it's going to be a big drag? They're saying things like, no, in terms of production, we're getting as much onshore as we can. And in terms of sales of foreign goods, people are buying as many as they can because they're worried about future tariffs. So everything's through the roof.

How are Fox News guests reacting to Trump's economic performance?

Ben Meiselas 0:59
Well, now even the guests on Fox are saying, look, there's a reason why Donald Trump is being viewed by the American people as being the worst on the economy ever. Here, play this clip.
Fox News Host 1:11
What I will say is she's talking about health care. She's talking about Medicaid. She's talking about Social Security. Whether we think this is resonating or not, currently President Trump is 10 points underwater in the economy, and she's out talking about it. Like I said, not where I stand, but I think she's resonating more than we're giving her credit for.
Ben Meiselas 1:30
So they try to pivot and they try to act like Donald Trump sending migrants to El Salvador is this incredibly courageous thing. And they just they spread all of these lies. It's so bizarre. I mean, take a look here. One of the Fox hosts is saying, so why are we having United States senators, you know, promote terrorists? Shouldn't he be fighting for his own constituents here? Watch this.
Fox News Host 1:53
especially as someone who believes in enforcing laws, since when do we have elected officials like senators that are promoting and helping this individual to be in our country and wanting to bring him back? I wish that he would fight that hard for his own constituents.
Ben Meiselas 2:06
I just it is shocking that when the it shouldn't be shot. Nothing shocks me with the with Fox. But when the Supreme Court rules nine to zero facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, when the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals being led by a right wing Reagan appointed judge, Judge Wilkinson, makes it very clear that i mean this is a threat in all american citizens and fox is doing this i mean kim jong-un would be like wow here's that same fox host saying look if i look at bukele the the leader of el salvador and he goes bukele seems to be more patriotic than the democrats and again you have fox promoting the authoritarian leader of el salvador watch this

Why is Fox News promoting El Salvador's president Bukele?

Fox News Host 2:51
It's night and day. You think that you're in two different countries. I mean, I look at President Bukele and he is not even American and he seems to be our bigger proponent than, you know, the senator. And he's saying, look, we're not we're not sending him back to the United States. El Salvador is like, we're not going to do that. And Attorney General Pam Bondi is like, look, if he's not sending him back, this is really a moot point. We don't need to worry. But it is that very stark contrast. And I find it very, very troubling, especially as someone who believes in enforcing laws.
Ben Meiselas 3:16
You know, it's interesting to see Maria Bartiromo, who works so hard to help with the propaganda for the Trump regime, but even when she brings on these MAGA Republicans like Beth Van Dunn, it's like, come on, here, play this clip.
Beth Van Dunn 3:31
And that's the state that they're willing to die on. If that's the hill they want to go on, God bless them.
So, I mean, look, it was a mistake. The administration said it was a mistake.
Beth Van Dunn 3:40
It might have been a mistake, but they're picking the one straw out of an entire barn full. And what we need to focus on is the 20 million that were allowed to enter here. People on the terrorist watch list, people from drug cartels. Yeah. And that's what this administration you can pull one example out.
