Chapter 1: Why is Fox News losing control on air during Trump's presidency?

0.031 - 24.769

State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was collapsing on air after Donald Trump's disastrous war has turned the entire country against Donald Trump. Trump is plummeting in the polls. His latest YouGov poll was the lowest of the entire time he's been in president. It's quickly becoming the lowest in presidential history. Let me show you what they're doing on state regime media right now.

25.29 - 38.165

You've got Lindsey Graham as a guest saying, Who cares whether or not America was going to be imminently in danger by Iran? That's stupid. We got to do what we want to do no matter what. Here, play this clip.

Chapter 2: What recent polling data reveals about Trump's declining popularity?

38.385 - 56.143

America is a imminent threat and it doesn't have to be imminent to me because you don't want it to be imminent. Right. The whole idea is for it not to be imminent, dumbass. You want to prevent it from being imminent. Senator, let me ask you this because I find it, I'm putting this in context, which I know you always...

56.191 - 76.009

Then you have Laura Ingraham trying to push the propaganda into high gear for Donald Trump. And she's like, the real debate here isn't between Trump and his base because Trump's base is turning against him. She goes, are you for good or are you for evil? It's just that simple. Here, play this clip. Just a complete fraud, I'm sorry.

0

76.629 - 95.496

The real debate here, and you saw it in his comments, is not between the interventionists and the isolationists or even between Trump and some elements of his base. The real debate, the real conflict here is between those who believe America is good and those who believe fundamentally America is corrupt and evil.

95.476 - 109.592

Because if you believe the latter, like sadly most Democrats, the media, academia do, you believe that the US may not use its military unless we are advancing international interests and internationally approved.

0

109.612 - 135.759

But if you believe America is special, that she's worth saving, you believe that our military exists to keep the American people safe and our interests abroad secure, even if the world will criticize us down the road. And then Jesse Waters creates this like weird cosplay fantasy situation. And he's like, this is checkmate Donald Trump. We did it. Mission accomplished.

135.779 - 144.636

Russia and China, they're controlled by the United States. Look how powerful we are. Like while everything's falling apart. This is what he's saying. Play this clip.

144.616 - 172.278

down they constantly interrupt the free flow of oil through the strait it jacks up prices it jacks up premiums it boosts inflation and china buys all the cheap sanctioned oil that's not going to happen anymore because what we've done here is now with venezuela and iran we've basically tipped over two petro dictatorships both proxies of Russia and Iran. It weakens both of those countries.

172.879 - 197.995

And we now control almost the entire world oil market. And we've kicked out Russia and China from the Middle East, an oil-rich region, right in the middle of the world trade from Asia to Europe. That's where all the goods and energy flows. So if this is a successful mission, this is what you call checkmate. And it's interesting that you mentioned

198.093 - 216.186

Oh, and then Jesse Waters continues to say the weirdest stuff about Hillary Clinton. Play this clip. A source told The Post Hillary's team demanded beauty lighting for the deposition and kept moving the camera to get the best angle. Maybe that's why she lost it when a congresswoman leaked a pic.

Chapter 3: How are Fox News hosts responding to Trump's war strategies?

258.32 - 275.195

Why did we have to carry out this operation against Iran? And as I said, that's because they have a vast missile arsenal that far exceeds our combined missile defenses, and it gets worse every single month. That is an unacceptable threat to the United States. So, Sanders, people have to... I mean, you hear him say it for yourself.

275.535 - 298.405

They bring on Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, who was previously the national security advisor, but was moved to the U.N. ambassador position after he leaked all those messages on signal chat. And he goes, this is precisely what 77 million Americans voted for. Play this clip. And here's the thing that 77 million Americans voted for.

0

298.986 - 318.377

They voted for a president who keeps to his word, who keeps to red lines and doesn't get taken advantage of with bad deals like Obama did and like Biden did. That's what America voted for. And that's what they're getting in President Trump. And then Jesse Waters is like, you know what?

318.517 - 339.39

Gas prices are going up and this may be bad right now, but just stick with the plan and things will be good in the future. Here, play this clip. It's hard when you don't have any weapons and you live in a police state. So Trump will try to shape what happens on the ground from the carriers. And I'm sure the CIA is going to be passing a lot of cash around. How does this affect the American people?

0

339.37 - 360.737

Well, the market opened lower and then it snapped back and closed about flat. Oil prices are up, gas prices at the pump, they're going to jump and mortgage rates are already ticking up. So in the short term, you're going to see a little inflation. But if it's a successful operation, prices are going to go way, way down and the stock market is going to rip.

360.717 - 381.348

Russia is not going to have a supply of drones that they're using to just decimate Ukraine. So it's going to push them towards peace. And the Chinese aren't going to be able to suck up all that cheap sanctioned Iranian oil. And we'll have full control over the oil rich Middle East. And then we can pivot to the Pacific and stare down Beijing. But until then, you just pray for the boys.

381.829 - 404.518

You pray for the president and hope everything goes well. Then you have Fox hosts basically reiterating that and saying, so what if gas goes up 24 cents? We're going to get those evils that are lurking away and it's all worth it in the long run. Here, play this clip. That's why it kills me to listen to him.

404.998 - 424.223

He just inserted himself in foreign policies and international geopolitics in Germany, flaunting and advocating for his potential 2028 run, and then comes back and has the nerve to say that when his policies have absolutely had such an impact on living in California and so many different ways of cost, everyone has fled.

424.483 - 442.828

And by the way, if he even knew, had a slight understanding of what was going on in the region, I would say, let's pretend what he said was accurate and it's additional 24 cents. I will gladly pay that to be safe from all of the evils that were lurking there lately while he gets to comb his hair and go to French laundry.

Chapter 4: What arguments are being made about America's military role in Iran?

582.85 - 606.184

He takes it with a gravitas that it deserves, and I find it despicable that, for example, behind Schumer, we saw Senator Kaine called it an invasion of Iran. Then they have this host called Tyrus. And this host called Tyrus says, you know, we're never going to get a fair shake from mainstream media. You know what? Like, we're not going to let anybody bully us. Here, play this clip.

0

606.468 - 623.228

Well, a couple of things. First of all, we're not going to get a fair shake from mainstream media. Here is, we had this major event happen, and the question was, did Israel force your hand to launch these strikes? So they can't even respect him just to get an answer. You leave your...

0

623.208 - 643.798

your issues with the orange dragon out to ask a question for the american people i don't think anyone was interested did where did israel bully you into like you're just trying to always taking a shot at his manhood always trying to attack him to get him there and i was very excited to see that he did not jump into it he just answered them very calm he's very tempered now and

643.93 - 664.535

The thing is, is like, okay, first off, all mainstream media corporate news is owned by right wing oligarchs right now. Like, what the hell are you talking about? This was a funny moment though, where you had the Fox host talking to general Jack Keane and the Fox host, Will Kane is like, I just want to let you know, I respect you. I respect you a lot. I like what you do.

0

665.135 - 685.857

And I think I'm not going to say I'm against this war. I'm not going to say I'm for the war. And then you'll see that the guest is like, can you just shut up and ask me the question already here? Let's play this clip. Well, it's not 100 percent clear to me, General. And that's not to suggest that I don't support 100 percent what is happening, nor that I 100 percent offer my support.

685.937 - 702.436

I just think I want to ask a couple of critical questions. And I hope you know how much respect I have for your service. And I think it goes without saying to anybody watching how much respect I have for the men making this decision. You don't have to patronize me. Just ask the question. Go ahead. Come on, ask it. To be clear, General, I'm not patronizing you.

703.097 - 720.605

I'm trying to have a very serious conversation in front of the American people. The men making these decisions have my utmost respect. This is less about you than everybody making these decisions. And this is about the American people understanding the investment that lies before them. But what I did find fascinating is that there were some Fox hosts that were like, enough already.

721.106 - 739.509

I mean, even Caroline Sunshine, who's a Donald Trump sycophant, she's like, look, I've worked for Donald Trump. I've been with him for a long time. And I don't know what the hell this is about. Here, play this clip. But again, if I can, just read this quote from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff today at his press conference. He said, this is not a single overnight operation.

739.549 - 751.159

The military objectives we've been tasked with will take some time to achieve and in some cases will be difficult and gritty work. We expect to take additional losses. We will work to minimize U.S. losses, but this is a major combat operation.
