When you do a deep dive of the backgrounds of the state regime media known as Fox hosts like Laura Ingraham, you find some commonalities there. We spoke to Laura Ingraham's brother, and here's what he had to say, Curtis Ingraham had to say about growing up with his sister, Laura Ingraham. It explains a lot. Let's play it.

19.44 - 35.42 Laura Ingraham

So my father was a Nazi sympathizer. There was a copy of Mein Kampf on the living room bookshelf. He was abusive. He was an alcoholic. So we are in a family of anger. That's from Lauren Graham's brother right there.

35.72 - 59.82 Ben Meiselas

And now when you see her behavior these days, and it's been over the course of a decade at this point, the state regime, North Korea style behavior, it's accelerating. It's getting worse, if you could even believe that. So now they're at the stage where we don't care that Donald Trump's Polling is now in like the 30s. Screw it. Just whatever. He's having fun. Kim Jong-un's having fun.

59.86 - 71.651 Ben Meiselas

He's posting photos of himself dressed as the Pope. This is fun, right? Are we having fun? It doesn't matter if he's destroying your lives here. Play this clip of her right here saying he's happy. Happy Trump. Play it.

71.751 - 80.298 Laura Ingraham

I'm going to say this again. I said it last night, but happy Trump is best Trump. And he's having a great time. He doesn't care about these stupid polls. He's fighting.

81.084 - 106.655 Ben Meiselas

stupid polls. He's having a great time. He's doing deals with the Qataris, doing Trump resorts. They're fun. The Abu Dhabi fund is using crypto. Are you not having fun? This is fun, everybody. Then she goes back and she's like, the Democrats are doing what they always do. I want you to think about Watergate. And I want you to think about the January 6th hoax, is what she calls it.

107.155 - 111.637 Ben Meiselas

And now they're trying to do it again with Trump right now in 2025. Here, let's play this one.

113.378 - 135.829 Laura Ingraham

You know, I was thinking about this. I've been in Washington a long time. This is all a sad repeat of what Republicans have been dealing with since around 1987. Yeah, I worked in the Reagan administration in 1987. From the Bork hearings to Iran-Contra to the Russian collusion to the myriad anti-Trump hoaxes, Charlottesville, January 6th. It's one long slash-and-burn campaign.

137.23 - 145.557 Laura Ingraham

Democrats didn't really care about any of the underlying issues involving any of those stories. They cared about gaining a political advantage.
