Why did Fox News hosts appear to collapse while covering Trump’s Iran conflict?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was in full collapse live on air last night, as Donald Trump has been in this utter catastrophic spiral. Let me show you what went down as you had Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro saying, We all just need to blame the Democrats for the record high gas and diesel prices here. Play this.
Mark Levin 0:25
They want you to blame Trump and they want you to blame the Iran war and on and on and on. No. I've said it before and let me underscore it again. The prices for gasoline, the prices for everything when it comes to energy is higher due to what we call Democrats.
Ben Meiselas 0:45
And then Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro say that you know what, the American people don't even care about the war in Iran. Here play this clip. When we look at the Fox
Mark Levin 0:56
survey. Iran is a four percent issue with the American people. So whatever happens in the midterms, it doesn't appear that Iran's going to drive anything one way or another. What's your take on this?
Unknown 1:10
I think that's exactly right.
Ben Meiselas 1:11
Then you had another uh Fox show, the Larry Koodlaw show, where Koodlaw and Eric Sean said, you know what? The Netanyahu speech at the United Nations was incredible. It was like the worst speech ever, but here's what they say on regime media.
Larry Kudlow 1:30
here play this clip. Now let's go to Fox News Eric Sean, who's live outside the UN in New York City with a rap on Netanyahu's barn burner of his speech, Eric. I read it and saw most of it. Wow, that was something.
Unknown 1:46
That's the word, Larry. One word. Wow. Man did he give it to them.
Ben Meiselas 1:51
Then you had Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law, bring on energy secretary Chris Wright, who says, Donald Trump is the energy president. He cares more about this stuff than just about anyone here. Play this clip.
Chris Wright 2:06
So when the system gets disturbed globally, everybody feels it. We feel it the least.

How are Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro blaming Democrats for high gas and diesel prices?

Chris Wright 2:11
We have the lowest gasoline prices, the lowest diesel prices, the lowest natural gas thing for home heating and for electric generation prices of any country in the planet. But of course, we still have higher energy prices than we'd like, and nobody's bothered more by that than President Trump. He is the energy president. Well there's obviously been a little
Ben Meiselas 2:32
Then you had the UN ambassador from the United States, Mike Walls. He said, you know what? Donald Trump should not be criticized for the way he rolled out the red carpet for Xi Jinping. And Mike Walls said, Look at Obama. Okay. And he said, Donald Trump is the host-in-chief. And this was just so incredible what went down. and with Xi Jinping here play this clip.
Unknown 3:00
And finally, um, obviously uh uh this uh trip uh got some flack from the left uh saying that, you know, we were rolling out the red carpet for the C C P President Xi, even some Republicans wanted the president to be tougher with Xi and and not really, you know, giving him this lavish welcome. What's your response to the critics out there that just didn't like the way this trip looked?
Michael Waltz 3:27
Well, I'd I'd tell the the critics or maybe the hypocrites on the left, uh, I'd point him right back to literally President Obama's red carpet reception uh for uh for she. But look, uh Aisha, this is a key part of diplomacy. This is reciprocity. Uh, President Xi uh had a quite a reception for President Trump in Beijing. President Trump is the host in chief. Uh and the host maker in chief uh he spent his entire career hosting is going to re uh going to reply in kind.
Ben Meiselas 4:00
I told you it was incredibly pathetic. Then going back to Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro, they were talking about how we just need to accelerate the war crimes against Iran. Let's get it over with. Let's just blow up car, destroy all of Iran, listen to these individuals talk about war crimes on state regime media. Here play this clip.
Unknown 4:24
President has to within his capacity to essentially finish the Iranian economy with a single bombing sorry over Karg Island or South Pars. The the biggest thing, I think, that is the obstacle right now to just completing that victory is is it's just a matter of decision making. Does the president actually believe that a deal is on the table or does he die?
