We calculated the prices of ski resorts. Buy now the price list for the winter. For example, Helsinki-Tampere starting at 4.90 euros. And Oulu-Helsinki starting at 14.90 euros. The campaign is in force until the 18th of January.

VR. On a joint journey. What are you doing here? It's time to leave.
Jose Ramón Fernández 0:51
You know it's been a good holiday when you feel like going into the dark. Under the sun. So you don't have to leave yet. Tjäräbori. Holidays that you wouldn't want to end.

Fox continues to be in a total panic over this disastrous meeting that Donald Trump had in Alaska with Vladimir Putin, then the meeting that Donald Trump had with the European leaders. And here we are, you know, as we approach August 20th, August 21st, and all of the things that Donald Trump said were going to happen did not happen. He said there was going to be severe consequences if Putin didn't agree to these things. There's no ceasefire. There's no trilateral meeting scheduled. There's nothing. literally like quite literally none of the objectives that Donald Trump said were going to be achieved were achieved. So then they bring in on Fox, the treasury secretary. I'm not sure why, why he's the guy right now who they have on here, but the treasury secretary, Scott Besson.
Ben Meiselas 1:51
Oh, I think as Donald Trump thinks that, that Putin just cares about money. And if we can just do bribe for bribe, maybe, maybe that's how it'll, it'll be done. They bring in treasury secretary, Scott Besson and Besson goes, It's a great meeting. The greatest meeting ever. Here's what Besson said on Fox. Here, play this clip.

How is Fox News reacting to Trump's meeting with Putin?

Scott Bessant 2:07
Well, Laura, it goes all the way back to Friday in Alaska, because President Trump had a great meeting with President Putin. My take was he had President Putin on his heels for most of the event after the flyover. And then yesterday, a fantastic meeting with Zelensky, then with the Europeans, and then back in the Oval, he had a call with President Putin. And I'm very optimistic they'll be able to have a bilateral meeting.
Ben Meiselas 2:35
A bilateral meeting happened in Alaska, a trilateral meeting. You think Putin wants to meet with Zelensky? That's been tried multiple times. Zelensky said, I'm ready to do it. And I'm sure we all watch that. Absolutely. Donald Trump had Putin on his heels. Why do they just say the most brazen and ridiculous? How do they do it? It's a talent. Like, how does he get up there and do it? Like, literally. And then you have Besant talk about, you know, look, what we all know is that Trump had a strategy and he executed that strategy. And Laura Ingraham now pretends that Putin agreed to Article 5-like NATO security guarantees when Putin and Russia said they absolutely don't agree to these things.
Dr. Mark Siegel 3:17
Here, play this clip. Why didn't you do it yesterday? So NBC's take on what happened yesterday is that the president was susceptible to total flattery, that the European leaders were there wooing him, that Zelensky put on the suit, and it was, thank you, sir, thank you, sir, for all your effort. And that's the only reason President Trump was as magnanimous and as open to security guarantees and so forth. You were there. Tell us what we should understand and take away from what happened.
Scott Bessant 3:48
Well, Laura, again, let's go back to Friday, because the security guarantees go back to Friday, President Trump's meeting with President Putin in Alaska. And President Trump has wanted to end this conflict that never would have started if he had been president. And he convinced President Putin about the security guarantees, that it is what the Europeans call
Ben Meiselas 4:14
No, he didn't. He didn't.

What did Congressman Quigley say about the current situation in Ukraine?

Ben Meiselas 4:15
He didn't do that. That didn't happen. That never happened. Putin's not agreeing. Putin's state regime media there says that that didn't happen. But here's what Jesse Waters is saying. This is how Fox wants to portray the meeting with our European allies. Here, play this clip.
Jesse Waters 4:31
The Europeans were sitting around the Resolute desk yesterday like they were waiting for class to start. Trump was giving Europe a geography lesson. He even put up the big, beautiful map and sent it home with Zelensky, his homework.
