What recent controversy surrounds Fox News and Donald Trump's Qatari jet gift?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
State regime media known as Fox is at it again. They're getting more and more desperate each and every day. Now, they've been spending all of their time trying to justify why they think it makes sense that their dear leader, Donald Trump, is getting a $400 million gold-plated jet from the Qatari. So cue in one of their chief propagandists, Sean Hannity, who tries to normalize this all, and he attacks anybody who dare criticize Dear Leader accepting bribes from the Middle East in plain view. Play the clip.

Despite a slew of recent accomplishments, groundbreaking diplomacy, the legacy state-run media mob still managed to find their new obsession, an offer from the government of Qatar for a Boeing 747 jumbo jet to serve as Air Force One.

Do you get more utterly pathetic than that? I don't know. But each and every day, the depths of depravity that Fox goes through to justify Donald Trump's criminality seems to know no bounds. Going from Sean Hannity to one of the other propagandists on Fox, Jesse Waters. Here, Jesse Waters devotes a segment to talking about the backlash bacteria-infested waters that Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. was swimming in and photographed in, something that would be a clear and present danger to your health that can cause life-threatening injuries swimming in bacteria-infested waters. It could be potentially lethal. And this is what our Health and Human Services Secretary is doing. Here's how Jesse Waters characterizes it.

Play this clip.
Jesse, would you swim in a sewage-filled creek?
Greg Gutfeld 1:45
That creek looks clean. It doesn't look like it's filled with sewage. And I have seen Pete Hegseth swim miles and miles in a Speedo in the Hudson River, which you can't even see through. This, you can see right through. I think it's fine.
Ben Meiselas 2:01
For these clowns, fascist clowns, no offense to real clowns, this is all one big joke to them. They just try to make this all one big humorous segment when people's lives are on the line. Here's another portion of that segment. Let's play it.
Terry, RFK Jr. is testing his immunity this weekend by jumping into a sewage-filled creek in Washington, D.C., deemed unsafe due to its high levels of bacteria. But RFK, who's allegedly already survived a brain worm, clearly isn't worried.
Jesse Waters 2:33
Katie, I think he also took his grandkids in with him. Hey, it's good for your immune system. I myself have swam in the Potomac. I didn't get Potomac. It's probably just as bad as this creek. And I have a friend named Corey and he ate a raw clam once from the bowels of the Potomac. He survived. So I think it's okay. It's all right. You gotta live a little. Enjoy. Get outside. It can't be worse than the tap water. Come on.
Ben Meiselas 2:59
So then part of that segment as well, you have Jesse Waters and one of the other hosts, Greg Gutfeld. They're talking about how Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's kind of biggest claim to fame on his resume is that he was once on the reality TV show called The Real World, and then he was on the reality show called The Real World Road Rules Challenge. And they think it's hilarious that this is the guy responsible for air traffic controllers and air safety when he has no qualifications to do it. So they make this like a comedic skit where they just think it's all so funny that our air traffic and our air safety is now in the hands of this guy.
Fox News Host 3:44
Watch for yourself. Play this clip. Sean Duffy, obviously a veteran of Real World San Francisco. How does the experience from being on Real World San Francisco translate into this job? San Francisco, you say? Yes.
Greg Gutfeld 3:58
Well, he's following up for Mayor Pete. I don't know. Greg, I fly out of Newark. It's my home airport. And I'm going to the West Coast next week. And the Qataris have offered to give me a plane. Fox is not going to have anything. They're not going to give me a hard time about that. I don't think so. It's a gift. It's a gift. It'll go to the Waters Foundation after I'm finished with it.
Ben Meiselas 4:17
And that's how they try to utterly destroy just serious discourse by making a total mockery of very serious things. We know what a disaster air traffic safety is right now. And Sean Duffy's been going on TV. each and every day, trying to blame what he calls the Biden Buttigieg administration. It's all their fault.
