How does Fox News react to economic challenges?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
The Fox state regime media strikes again. So here's what went down. So on their morning shows like Maria Bartiroma, they were reporting, because it was a business show, that inflation is way up right now, exceeding anybody's expectations because of Donald Trump. So what Fox tries to do at first is just say, look, this is not Donald Trump's fault. It's just the bird flu. It's Avian flu. Don't blame Donald Trump. But see, Trump gets pissed. He sees that. So then Donald Trump starts posting on social media, Biden inflation up. And then Donald Trump starts attacking the Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, saying interest rates should be lowered. something which would go hand in hand with upcoming tariffs. Let's rock and roll America.
Ben Meiselas 0:49
Then Fox has to change its entire coverage to just be like pure propaganda, which it was before. But then they have all these guests on like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Caroline Leavitt, the press secretary, Stephen Miller, and they're all repeating the same line. This is what you voted for. This is what you want. Elon Musk is a genius. He's volunteering his time. Oh my gosh, this is what you want, America. We're doing it. We're shaking things up. Let me break down the anatomy of state regime media right now. So first, I want to show you that report from the morning where Maria Bartiromo and her panel have anxiety that the bird flu and related spike in egg prices could be, quote, another COVID crisis to greet Donald Trump.
Ben Meiselas 1:34
You see, they treat him like he's a little toddler. Oh, it's never Donald Trump's fault. Always the victim. Here, watch this.
Maria Bartiromo 1:41
Egg prices are soaring. Last week, the average wholesale price for large white shell eggs reached $8 for a dozen. This is wholesale. Retail, it's higher than this. The previous all-time wholesale price was $5.46 back in December 2022. How much are eggs retail right now?
Right now, probably $11, $12, $13, $14. Rich ones, you want brown eggs, you want free-range eggs, etc., etc. But they're in the low teens right now.
Maria Bartiromo 2:11
I've never seen anything like that. $14 for a dozen eggs.
They're killing the chickens. Yeah. and and because of bird flu right before the bird flu now let's ask the the 64 trillion dollar question uh is this a no another covet crisis to to greet uh to greet president trump wow and we don't know this i'm getting anxiety already with your finger in it january 25th okay so that pisses donald trump off so now fox has to recalibrate its entire programming so
Ben Meiselas 2:43
Cue in Caroline Leavitt. I mean, she's just so utterly pathetic, isn't she? So then she goes on like Jesse Waters and she goes, these are monumental changes that the people wanted. People wanted monumental changes. We're giving it to them. Here, play this clip.
Caroline Leavitt 2:59
Again, the American people voted for this monumental change and that's exactly what they're getting.
Ben Meiselas 3:04
Okay, then they have Stephen Miller on and Stephen Miller's like, He's looking more like a genius every day. This is genius. You see, this is so genius what we're doing. Here, watch this.
Stephen Miller 3:15
They look like fools and Donald Trump looks more brilliant and more genius every single day as he's implementing his agenda and it's working and our lives are getting better by the minute.
Ben Meiselas 3:25
Okay, next you then have Marjorie Taylor Greene saying, this is what we wanted. Everyone voted for this. Elon Musk raiding the government. We did it, America. Mission accomplished. So what they're trying to tell their zombified, you know, right-wing fascist viewership, I guess, zombified, you know, is that, oh, we want this? Oh, this is good, good. Like Pavlov, we like this. Here, play this clip.
Marjorie Taylor Greene 3:55
I completely agree with you, Sean. Elon Musk is giving our entire country an inside look at the actual fraud, waste, abuse that's been going on for decades. And Americans are cheering and cheering and cheering. You know, everyone did vote for this. This is exactly what we voted for. This is what we campaigned for. And this is what President Trump promised to the American people.
Ben Meiselas 4:18
And then Marjorie Taylor Greene goes even a step further. And she's like, and Elon Musk, we should be appreciative. This is a billionaire who's just volunteering his time.
