What did John Kelly say about Donald Trump’s admiration for Hitler?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
So one of the big October surprises to drop, you had Donald Trump's own former chief of staff and four-star general, John Kelly, say that Donald Trump on multiple occasions praised Adolf Hitler, and Adolf Hitler's general said he wished he had generals like Adolf Hitler. And uh John Kelly said that Donald Trump would become a dictator as a threat to democracy. What does Fox do? Well, on its morning program, you Have uh Brian Kilmead, one of the Fox hosts, say that's actually a good thing. The Fox uh uh talking point is Hitler had good generals. So yeah, of course Donald Trump would say that. That's what Fox is going with. Here, watch this.
Brian Kilmeade 0:40
Bottom line is if you read H.R. McMaster's book, who is critical of President Trump in some of it, and not in others, he talks about how Madison Kelly didn't like the president. And they didn't think he deserved the job, or they didn't think he was worthy of the job, and they went out of his way to make sure a lot of the things they asked him to do that they didn't like never got done. McMaster would be frustrated because he couldn't get their attention, and he would say, it's not your job to reign. In the president. It's your job to do what the president wants. And then you factor in the fact that he runs his own company, coming from the business world, the first one we've ever had. It's not even a public company.
Brian Kilmeade 1:14
And then he's obviously has frustration. And I could absolutely see him going out, you know what? It would be great to have German generals that actually do what we asked them to do, knowing that's a third, uh maybe not fully on uh fully being cognizant of the third rail of German generals were Nazis. But he was frustrated with the with the slowdown of the five years. Well, it wasn't it. It wasn't
Unknown 1:36
just a slowdown, it was insubordination. And there is a culture within Washington, not just when it comes to the generals, who by the way should be fired after what happened in Afghanistan, is of insubordination to say that the bureaucrats run the government. The founders did not design this country to be that way. Unelected people don't get to run the country, even if you have four stars behind your name. And I think they were very frustrated that you have this outside guy that says, listen, I'm in charge now.
Ben Meiselas 2:04
So while Fox is pushing that type of propaganda, then they have Jesse Waters, who's kind of does the clownish routine and just tries to like mock everything and be like, Look, I'm a dude, so this is a hoax alert. So he does hoax alert and says that what the um retired four star general and Donald Trump's former chief of staff is said is false.

How did Fox News portray the John Kelly interview as a “hoax”?

Ben Meiselas 2:26
It's a hoax and didn't actually happen. So Fox. Then goes with that messaging. So in the morning it is, yeah, German generals are great. In the evening, it's it's a hoax, it's a hoax with stupid hoax music to try to just show the contempt they really have for their audience. Play this. So it means it's time for New
Jesse Watters 2:45
hoaxaler, New Hoaxaler, New Hoaxalar. The left's biggest hoax chef, Jeffrey Goldberg at the Atlantic, has cooked up a doozy. Says Trump admired Hitler. There's no recordings of this and everyone says it's baloney,
Ben Meiselas 3:00
but the V And then throughout the day it's just lie after lie. Fox has on a guest who says that Vice President Kamal Harris did not get the United Auto Worker Endorsement. Play the clip.
Unknown 3:14
That's just not accurate. We've had a factory boom.
Ben Meiselas 3:17
We have the I mean the the Fox com plant that everyone talks about in Wisconsin that's not a good thing. Why is it that Kamala Harris didn't get the UAW
Unknown 3:25
endorsement, Robert? Well what about the the union endorsement that didn't come through for Kamala Harris? Listen why isn't she getting that endorsement when they've been endorsing Democrats for years after years?
Ben Meiselas 3:36
She did get the United Auto Worker endorsement. You can see right there, the UAW strongly endorsed Vice President Kampala Harris. Here's an interesting one as well, because the Wall Street Journal had to actually do an economic analysis of Trump's 3,000 or 5,000% tariffs, which is a tax on Americans, not a tax on China.
