Foreign. We are in the middle of a war and instead of listening to his Pentagon, he has Pete Hexeth firing generals and kanks. Donald Trump sits around and binge watches Fox News. There is a queen on Fox News named Jessica Tarlov and she does just incredible work fact checking and checking propaganda in real time. So a lot of these Fox viewers that have been so radical, medical lies, the only time they ever hear a tinge of sanity is from Jessica Tarlov. And of course Trump hates her. And in the middle of the war, he has, he's attacking her because, you know, he loves to attack women. Pop this up, Trump for Fox executives only take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice to her lies and everything else about her, one of the worst personalities on television, a real loser. People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President djt And just a couple of notes here. While the war is going on, Trump is watching Fox, you guys, just to make sure they stay on script because this is a presidency that rules by propaganda like all fascist autocrats do. And he's trashing Jessica Tarlov because she's one of the only dissenting voices on the network. So he has this massive, massive, massive insecurity. And anytime it's exposed, he lashes out,

pumps, you know, this truth, as it were, is the answer to the question I often ask myself about people surrounding him, not reigning him in, putting, keeping him on point because he just goes crazy if everybody doesn't agree with him all the time. The time. It's really, really sick. Yeah.

And I think we always have to remember we cannot apply our logic to this man. You cannot say, well, why aren't people reigning him in? By design, he has surrounded himself with loyalists. Scholars have taught us that autocrats and dictators, specifically by design, surround themselves with loyalists. That's why you see all of this purging the deep state that they spoke about during the campaign, those nonpartisan government workers, people that wanted health insurance, wanted a steady job. Government seemed like a good employer. Couple weeks of vacation, all of these people have been purged and replaced with loyalists. And you know, we also have to give credit to Jessica Tarlov because she sits next to Jesse Waters all, all, all hour. I mean, that is. I don't know how she does it. Okay, and then here is a screen grab from Fox coverage on the war. Pop this up. This is Fox Digital. Iran war nears completion as Trump eyes deadline. What the end game could look like. U. S. Strikes hit one of Iran's largest bridges this week, as Trump warns, much more to follow. So this is just their online reporting. All right. Nothing about the batshit crazy press conference that we saw yesterday? Nothing. We don't hear anything about that from Fox News. They are constantly san washing the fact that he took credit live on television for killing Osama bin Laden and advised everybody to read a book about it. He says the Iranians in this press conference were begging him, please, sir, even though you're bombing right next to me, please keep bombing the gays for Iran. Save us all this crazy crickets. They just have to tell this, this cult, they're like cattle. And they just guide them as to what they want to hear. Oh, we're going to bomb Iran. We're liberating them. Oh, it's nearing completion. No critical thought. And that's why what Jessica Tarlov does is so important, because probably maybe 8, 10% might hear her and go, h, I wonder why, why they keep her on if, if she really is lying. Because clearly she's not lying.

Pumps
Well, she's the only one on that station that is not lying. That's actually telling the truth. I mean, my parents watch the Five. They will even tell you. And they are like ass deep in maga. They will even tell you. Jessica Turlov, she really comes with all the numbers and data. And I thought, so why aren't you listening? But they don't.

It's really interesting, isn't it? Because I think that there's maybe a respect for her because she does. She, she doesn't get into the personalities of it. She touts all of these numbers. But Fox News, we have to remember they paid a billion dollars for lying about the 2020 election. In any other world, that business would be considered. Oh, they're liars. They're out of business. Catholic Church pays billions and billions of dollars for covering up child rape. In any other world, that business, the Catholic Church would be out of business. But we always have this in Western culture where we let certain people get away with stuff that we would never let other people get away with. Right? People that we deem powerful or in positions of power. And, you know, that brings me to the Epstein files. You know, exactly. It's. It's just a play. Fox News gets away with this. The Catholic Church get away with it. Southern Baptist Church gets away with it. All of these billionaires, including the President of the United States, get away with it. All right? And in a piece for media, Colby hall writes about what the Fox viewer sees every single day. Pop this up. So Watch Fox for a day and you'll see it gravitating toward a particular set of facts. Iran's weakness, the necessity of the mission, the heroic success of the U. S Military, how the left is actively rooting for the U. S To lose. When criticism does appear, it's aimed away from Trump himself. He may not have been fully briefed. He may have received bad information. He may be navigating forces beyond his control. Trump is suggested to oddly be the victim in all of this, as bizarre as it sounds. And Pops has some anecdotal conversations with her Fox binging parents where they do they blame everybody arounding Trump, surrounding Trump, but not Trump.

Right. They despise Stephen Miller. They think he is absolutely appalling and vile. Yet they haven't made the connection that Trump is, is Stephen Miller's boss. And but for Trump, Stephen Miller wouldn't be in the job and that that continues to happen. One thing it's been on my mind since this weekend, Laura Ingram wrote in a post that I saw, well, I guess the, I'm paraphrasing. I guess the left's mad that they got the US Pilot back. No, I am delighted that the US Was able to rescue the pilot. What? Where my angst and frustration and concern is that we are at war with Iran in the first place, not that a pilot was rescued, that Pete Heath, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump. That they are so, so bloodthirsty that they got us into the war, Laura. That's why I'm mad.

That's a really good point. And I think as to this Colby hall piece, I think it's really important that the Republican Party is always like we're the party of individualism and of personal accountability. And time and time again, they're not. They're a party, they're a cult. They are cattle. 90 days ago, they opposed wars in the Middle east regardless of what country it is. And as it pertains to Laura Ingram bringing this down to a black and white tribal type thing, this is their default setting. It's always the left is rooting against America. The right is so pro America, Trump will dry hump an American flag. And that's why we like him. We love President Trump because he loves America more than anybody else. And every time they can bring it down to this black and white argument. It really works well with the Fox News viewers who lack fundamentally the ability to critically think and call that stupidity, call it what you want, but they genuinely lack the ability to critically think. There are Certain things that I love to do that bring me great joy, like getting a manicure, pedicure, playing tennis. But some things, self care feel like a total chore, like shaving. All of that changed when I discovered Flamingo. Flamingo was born. When the women who helped build Harry's noticed the other companies selling women's razors were just shrinking the men's razors down and making them pink, they rolled their eyes and they decided to shake things up. They created a shaving solution that's actually made with women's bodies in mind. There's no pink tax with Flamingo, and a pink tax is when you're paying more just because it's a women's product. It's not flimsy, there's no irritation and it's quite attractive. And their starter set has everything you could need, whether it's time for an everything shower or even if you just need to shape up below your brow line. They have this whole kit and it's just $7 and shipping, you guys, totally free. So listener for a limited time, our listeners get the Flamingos starter set for only $7 at shop flamingo.com ihip this set includes the Flamingo Original Razor 15 blade cartridge, a 1 ounce foaming shave gel and a shower holder. Just head to shop flamingo.com ihip to claim this offer. And after you purchase, they'll ask where you heard about them. Please support our show and tell them that we sent you. And here's another screen grab from Media Matters reporting that former Fox hosts are calling it out. Right wing media figures castigate Fox News for pushing, quote, blatant propaganda on the war in Iran. Former Fox News and other right wing media figures have called out the network for cheerleading Trump's war. So Tucker Carlson called Fox, quote, the world headquarters for boots on the ground. And Megan Kelly called Fox's Iran war coverage insufferable. So these are two people that were inside the Death Star. They know what Fox is. We all saw in the lawsuit that I mentioned earlier where Fox had to pay a billion dollars in discovery. They got all their text messages and Hannity and everybody's just trashing Trump about, about what a nutty is. But you can't trust Tucker and you can't trust Megan. And there's this saying a broken clock is right twice a day. Right. And I think that always applies to these people because Tucker Carlson, I remember, was super critical of the whole Venezuela situation where they went and captured Maduro. And he was very critical of it on his station. And then like three or four days later, he's at the White House standing there clapping like a trained seal for Donald Trump. So you cannot believe these people. And Megyn Kelly, you know, she, you also, you cannot trust this person because here is a video of Megyn Kelly who her quote is Fox Ron war coverage is quote, insufferable. But at the same time she also says like this, play the clip.

Trump could drop a nuke and I'd still vote Republican over those people because they want avenue voter in some ways I really am they but honestly they, what they want to do is nuke our own country. You know, it's like the open border, what they're doing to children, all that stuff is still that they would do it all if put back in power. And I, I think most Republicans know

that, which is okay.

Pumps this, she makes no sense. She knows that's not going to happen. But she gets makes hundreds of thousands of dollars going on there and tiptoe sanity. But then she has to, you know, throw red meat. Here's the thing. Trump dropping a nuke on Iran, as crazy as that sounds, I would not rule it. This man has absolutely zero ability to look at consequences. So Megyn Kelly, what you need to be doing is rallying the people that listen to you to try to get their people in their districts to get real about the 25th amendment. This made us a nut.

Never happen. Pumps It'll never happen. We cannot apply our logic to these people because what does she default to? She defaults to. Donald Trump is crazy and I agree. And the Fox News coverage is insufferable. But viewer, if he dropped a nuke, I'd still go vote for him because the Democrats want a nuke, America. And it's like Megyn Kelly. No, we don't. We want to your viewers to have health care. We want your viewers to earn a livable wage. We want billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes because our country simply cannot afford them. We actually support the troops. 30% of all homeless people are veterans. Yeah, 30%. And so you say you support the troops, support them in totality, but in fact you support the nuke and pun intended here, but you do not support the fallout, then you're going to play, you know, victim. So this is a typical right wing media argument that they always play that, yes, Donald Trump's batshit and he's so crazy and he's so dangerous and Fox News is a propaganda machine. But you know what? We're gonna vote for him all over again. Because we're stupid. That's the message. All right. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment and we will be back later with more news.
