Why did Fox News 'lose it' on air over Trump's Venezuela invasion?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was losing all control on air, on live TV. We saw meltdown after meltdown of their propagandists, whether it was Jesse Waters, Laura Ingraham, Hannity. You name it, it was a absolute disgrace. Let me just show you what went down when you had Jesse Waters saying, look, I think maybe we use the oil money from Venezuela that we'll steal, then we'll take that to buy Greenland. How is this even on a network calling itself news? It isn't. It's regime propaganda. Here, play this clip. They wanna do a deal. There's a method to the madness. Maybe we use the oil money from Venezuela to buy Greenland. Maybe we just share it with the Danes. I hear the Scandinavians like to get down like that.
Ben Meiselas 0:56
We don't judge. Then you have Laura Ingraham interviewing Senator Moreno, or Moreno, from Ohio, and Ingraham's like, you know, Greenland doesn't even exist if it was not for the United States. Canada doesn't exist if it's not for the United States. They owe our existence to us. What are you talking about? The most ridiculous statements ever.
Dr. Mark Siegel 1:21
Play this clip.

What shocking on-air comments did Jesse Waters make about stealing Venezuelan oil and buying Greenland?

Dr. Mark Siegel 1:22
Including using the military. Greenland obviously would not exist were it not for the United States of America. We defend it. Canada would cease to exist without the U.S. military. They're our ally, but they're free riders, and they've made their views about the United States lately very clear.
Ben Meiselas 1:38
I mean, for real, this is worse than, like, RT or Sputnik or TASS tasks in Russia. I mean, this is like worse than pink dress lady in North Korea. Then Senator Moreno is like, in terms of oil, we deserve to be reimbursed from Venezuela for setting them free. Here, just play this clip. Setting them free, we just put in another Maduro stooge who many believe is even more repressive than Maduro is. I mean, set them free. I'll just share with you. This is what a guest said on another program of Fox earlier in the day before it went into their evening program where this guest talked about that Delcy Rodriguez is like a terrorist. and that Delcy Rodriguez is someone who would kill all of the Venezuelans who are in the United States if they were to return.
Ben Meiselas 2:48
Here, play this clip.
She's even more radical than Maduro. She's actually the daughter of a Venezuelan terrorist who kidnapped an American businessman and was eventually killed by police forces. That really shows you how she's a true ideologue. She's very smart and worldly, and she knows how to handle herself. So right now, we, Venezuelans, fear that they're gonna leave us with Delcy Rodriguez, who we know as our chief of torture.
Ben Meiselas 3:13
Now, back to Ingraham, as she says, you know, Denmark's saying Greenland isn't for sale, though. And then Senator Marino Maragher-Publin's like, we'll see about that. Here, play this clip.
Dr. Mark Siegel 3:24
What about the idea of purchasing Greenland? Denmark said it's not for sale.
Ben Meiselas 3:29
Well, let's let the 50,000 people or so that live in Greenland make that decision. It could mean millions to each one of those people. And they'd have an absolutely much better partner in America that we have the strength, the capabilities to actually help that country thrive and to have a check on Russia and China. I think it's a no-brainer. But instead of having an argument between us and Denmark, let's let the people of Greenland decide. And by the way, while all of this was going on, even Megyn Kelly, who used to be a host for 20 years on state regime media propaganda, she now has her own podcast. Megyn Kelly's like, yeah, this is like, Megyn Kelly's using my language and referring to it as regime propaganda media.
Ben Meiselas 4:13
Here, play this clip.
Megyn Kelly 4:15
When I was at Fox News, which was a long time, 14 years, I would have known exactly what to do in the wake of Trump's attack in Venezuela. His retrieval, shall we say, to put it in mild terms, of Nicolas Maduro. I would have known that I was supposed to cheerlead it.

How did Laura Ingraham and guests claim the U.S. 'defends' Greenland and Canada?

Megyn Kelly 4:32
And I turned on Fox News yesterday, and I'm sorry, but it was like watching Russian propaganda. There was nothing skeptical. It was all rah-rah, cheerleading, yes, let's go.
