They had to admit that their own Fox internal polls show that Donald Trump is at his worst approval ever. That Donald Trump's approval is the worst in modern presidential history. And on every single category, Donald Trump is essentially below water. That they also had to admit that Obamacare, the Affordable Care act is very popular by a degree of plus 15 and that the MAGA Republican plan to destroy Obamacare. As much as they want to say Obamacare, Obamacare is absolutely devastating for the MAGA Republicans right now. And in the midterms, I want to show you the moment where Fox had to hint at the news they didn't fully go through. Just what a nuclear bomb this polis for Donald Trump, how bad it is. But you'll hear Bret Baier have to make this stunning admission that based on the Fox poll, Donald Trump is doing very, very bad. Here, watch this. But the issue of affordability, the issue of how people feel about the economy popping up in our latest polls. Personal financial situation now excellent. Good 40% only fair or poor 60%. You can see that Changing from July condition of the US economy, also a perception totally upside down. 70 to 25. And that changing a bit. And then economic conditions for the nation. And you personally, again, 25% positive. 76 negative for the nation. And then 60, 40 personally. Now, Bret Baer couldn't actually talk about the full poll because when you go through the Fox poll, it gets more catastrophic than what he said. But then they had another host go on and say, you know, with all these peace deals that Donald Trump is doing, the American people don't seem to feel more safe. It's because we know they're fake deals. He could say over and over again that he's done seven peace deals. What's it now? Eight peace deals. But we know that he's lying and we know that his main promise was that he was going to bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours after the election. Not even after he was sworn in after the election. And we know things are worse than ever. And especially this week where he tried to force down Zelinsky's throat yet again, another Putin plan. And Zelensky's like, nope. And then Trump is now parting ways with Keith Kellogg, the main envoy in the area. It ain't good. We know that Donald Trump's line about the peace deals. Here, play this clip.
B
Now, peacemaking is a major source of pride for the president. But according to the latest Fox News poll, Americans are split on whether his peace deals will make the world safer.
A
So because Fox was so embarrassed at its own internal polling data. Let's try it again, Fox. They then start citing the new Reuters poll rather than just, just go through your poll. It's equally as bad as the Reuters poll, although the Reuters poll does show Donald Trump's approval at 38%. But, but the host says, and Donald Trump's approval, 39%. I mean, it literally says 38%. The worst ever. Donald Trump, the biggest loser ever. The least popular ever. Det. Despise the American people and the world hates you, Donald. Here, play this clip. A new Reuters poll shows President Trump's approval rating falling to its lowest level.
B
Now, this is because, apparently because of.
A
Prices and the Epstein files, his approval rating sits at 39%. That is down nine points from when he took office. Okay, now, can I go through with you what the actual Fox polling data shows and just how bad it is? Then I'll show you what Fox was trying to do throughout the day to further kind of COVID up and distract from its own fatal blow that it delivered to Donald Trump. You take a Look right here at Trump's job performance. On the issue of health care, 64% of Americans disapprove. On the issue of tariffs, 63% of Americans disapprove. On the Issue of the economy, 61% disapprove. How about policy, foreign policy? 55% disapprove. How about immigration? 53% disapprove. How about an immigration? 46% approve. 53% disapprove. That's supposed to be your biggest issue. On foreign policy, 55% disapprove. You take a look right here on America's view on affordability. So do you think that groceries have gotten cheaper? Nope. Most Americans say grocery prices have increased by a lot of. How about utilities? Most Americans say increase by a lot. How about health care? Most Americans say increase by a lot. How about housing? Most Americans say increased by a lot. How about gasoline? By and large, people say it increased, didn't decrease. Although overwhelmingly it's not increasing by a lot, but most Americans say it has increased. Go take a look at Obamacare, AKA the Affordable Care Act. And that's what Trump's got abolishing right now with the maga. Republicans are abolishing. Like, we gotta get rid of this Obamacare. Americans hate it. Not according to the Fox poll and not according to common sense. Because, you know, before Obamacare, look for all its flaws. And it has flaws, which is why you correct it. You don't just destroy things and rip it apart. But before Obamacare, 20 plus million Americans didn't have health insurance. Insurance companies could discriminate based on preexisting conditions. People would die because they didn't have health coverage. And sure. Are the premiums in Obama Obamacare more expensive than we would like? Absolutely. Do the subsidies help bring it down? Absolutely. Should we extend the Affordable Care act subsidies? Absolutely. Can we come up with more ways to lower healthcare costs? Absolutely. How can you do it? Well, let's just have the government negotiate for Affordable Care act plans the way it was now doing in other sectors as well, to lower prescription drug prices. Maybe instead of having a trillion dollar military industrial complex, maybe we bring that down to, I don't know, $600 billion. It will still be overwhelmingly the greatest military budget in the history of mankind and by far in the world. You could add up every other country. But then what do we do with that other extra $400 billion? Why don't we transfer it to health care to make people prosperous and healthy? How about that? Instead of building bombs and weapons to kill people abroad, how about that. How about we tax the rich a little bit more and then we can take that money and and put it towards health care so we can all live prosperous, healthy lives. Those are my plans. Although I believe in universal healthcare. Why don't we start with what I said right there? But look at Obamacare's favorability. Plus 15 total favorability. When you look at black Americans plus 5118 to 34 year olds plus 33 moderates, plus 28 Latinos, plus 22 women, plus 18. Just go through every category and everybody likes Obamacare, views it favorably. Are there things to criticize about it? Let's be clear. Absolutely. That's life. But we fix problems just because there's a problem. We don't say rip it apart, destroy it. No, that's what MAGA and Trump does because his whole life he's been a destroyer, a bankrupter, a fraud, a felon, a sexual abuser. That's who Trump has always been. You take a look right here. How do Republicans rate the current economic conditions? Republicans, Trump voters. Only 8% of Trump voting Republicans say that the economy is excellent. 38% say good and 39% say only fair or poor. That's Trump's base. Only 8% of Trumpers, basically, Republicans say it's excellent. 8%. Who is more responsible for the current economic conditions, Trump or Biden? 62% of Americans say Trump, 32% say Biden. Do you think inflation is under control? 2% say completely, 16% say mostly, 29% say somewhat. 52% say not at all. When you go among Republicans, 65% of Republicans say somewhat or not at all that inflation is under control. Those are bad, bad, bad numbers for you.

And I like what Democrats are doing. You got Democratic congressmember Jason Crow, formerly special forces veteran, knows his stuff. Actually a tough dude. Not this maga Republican. Oh, I'm an alpha. I'm an alpha with these weak, pathetic magas. Here's what congressmember Jason Crow did. He went on Fox and he spoke truth to power. And the Fox host could not handle it. Here, play this clip. You actually disparage them when you say that. A simple reminder. That a simple reminder is something they cannot handle.
B
You're wrong. You're 100% wrong. I didn't disparage them in any way. In fact, I give them enormous credit.
A
You don't think they can handle reminders about their legal obligations?
B
I think that these men and women certainly can handle it. Specific and they could figure out what order you're referring to. I have the most deep respect for everyone who serves in the military, including you, sir, for the sacrifice that you made. I cannot, I did not make that sacrifice myself. So I put everyone who makes that sacrifice in a very special place in my heart. And I believe they're there to serve the country. So you have put out this video. It's getting a lot of attention. I just. I thank you for joining me to talk about it.
A
And more clown behavior on Fox right here between Larry Kudlaw and Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan. Look at this guy. I showed you Crow. Compare Crow to. I'm Jim Jordan, everybody. Jim Jordan. I could. Jordan. Jim Jordan. So freaking gross. And here they're both, like doing their fan fiction. As Aaron Rupar would say over. Donald Trump's brought in 23 trillion. No, he's brought in 9 trillion. No, he's brought in a gabillion bazillion dollars. These people are so pathetic. Here, watch this. So maybe there's $9.5 trillion being invested. Mr. Trump says it could be as high as 20 trillion. Okay? It's phenomenal. Just the nine and a half is fine. Hell, four or five trillion would satisfy 99% of the countries around the world. Then you have Saudi Arabia comes here, okay, MBS comes here and he's going to pony up another trillion dollars.
B
All right.
A
And that, what does that tell you? That doesn't happen during the Biden years. That did not happen.
B
What does that tell you? That money is pouring in here and that Trump has such an easy time.
A
Persuading people to invest in America.
B
What does that tell you?
A
Yeah, well they appreciate real leadership like they're getting from President Trump. They appreciate the common sense, smart economic policies that he's enacting. They appreciate what we did in the big beautiful bill. I always say, you know, the big beautiful bill was a great piece of legislation because the left hates it. And the left hates it because it didn't empower government. It actually empowered people, families, our economy, letting them keep more of their money to spend on their kids, their goals, their dreams, their small business. I mean just, just what we did in that bill, work requirements so that able bodied people now and their welfare system have to work. That's good for the economy, that's good for taxpayers, it's actually good for that individual. All those things that the left hates were in that bill. That's why the left hates it. So you think we're that stupid that that's what you're going to be doing? And I love this, this, this is where Fox is at with Trump's cover up of the Epstein files and moving the convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum facility to a minimum security facility in Camp Bryan, Texas and giving her VIP treatment and having the warden of the prison help her with the, with her commutation papers. Here's what Jesse Waters has to say. And watch how Jessica Tarlov just, boom. Puts him in his place. Boom. Here, play this clip.
B
Why do you think Galene Maxwell is in a minimum security prison and is being waited on basically hand and I.
A
Don'T know and I don't care. Well that's, you know this Jessica.
B
You will find out that the FBI.
A
Will be embarrassed because they investigated a lot of these allegations. It didn't do anything about it. The DOJ will be embarrassed cuz they were the ones that cut the sweetheart deal. J.P. morgan, all the bankers will be embarrassed.
B
I'd love to.
A
A lot of Democrats and a lot of, and the Royal family will be embarrassed.
B
Well, they definitely already are.
A
I think Donald Trump is probably saying there's going to be a lot of Innuendo out there. You really want to see it? You really want to see it? Are you sure? Okay, here it is. And it's not gonna look good. How great is Tarlov, by the way? She's so good. And then, by the way, Fox had a cut in special coverage. Doo, doo, doo. Breaking news. Melania was speaking. Everybody watch Melania speak. It was a complete disaster. She spoke at a high school. Play this clip.
B
So.
A
And I just visited Dr. Olson's AP research class. Great speech there, Melania. Great, great speech, Melania. So utterly pathetic. And then finally they brought on Brooke Rollins. And Brooke Rollins is like, the good thing about the shutdown is it's taught us how we can actually try to get more people off of snap. Because that's what Americans really want. They want us to attack the most vulnerable while Donald Trump's out there bragging about his business deals with Saudi Arabia while transferring F35 and nuclear technology to the Saudis and giving our top secrets away. But the Trump Organization is doing very well. They have great Gatsby parties at Mar a Lago or half naked women jump around in martini glasses. You know, typical American stuff. Golden ballrooms. Did you see the new marble work that Donald Trump did to Lincoln's bedroom? Wow. That's exactly what the American people are looking for, right? Oh, and did you hear he's going to build a triumphal arch? Because that's what Americans are thinking. Here, play this clip of Brooke Rollins. Sorry about that voice. I don't even know what that was. Here, play this clip.
B
This government shutdown is over, but now millions of SNAP recipients are being asked to reapply for benefits. Talk to us about why that is necessary and if that's going to impact Americans ability to feed their families. Well, Nicole, first of all, thanks for having me back. It's great to see you. I think what's really important, and you mentioned it, that we have been, for the first time in history, collecting the data. We asked all the states to send data in. We had 29 states comply, most of them the red states. And what we found was staggering. And this was before the government shut down. This is over the last few months, 186,000 dead people receiving benefits. 500,000Americans receiving benefits two times. So double what they should be receiving. We've arrested more than 120 people with snap fraud. And that's just from the states that sent their data in. That doesn't include most of the blue states, where we believe there's even more fraud and abuse and under the last administration, the SNAP benefits increased for 40%. So clearly there's a right sizing that needs to happen. And the I think unintended consequence of the Democrat shutdown was now the spotlight has been shined on and we have to make sure for those who really need this benefit that we are able to make sure that it's going to the right people. So we're making a lot of structural changes in snap. We'll have a big announcement about that the week after Thanksgiving. Exactly what that's going to look like.
A
There you have it folks. Fox sticking the dagger right there. Putting the screws in Donald Trump delivering that news. I'd love to see Donald Trump watch that. But they didn't give the full poll. That's why I had to do it. I had to give it its justice here. Anyway, Hit subscribe let's get to 6 million. Thanks for watching.

This episode features the Meiselas brothers—Ben, Brett, and Jordy—digging into what they describe as a seismic shift in the mainstream conservative media: Fox News, typically an ally of Donald Trump, is forced to publicly confront devastating polling numbers for the former President. The brothers break down Fox’s reluctant coverage of negative Trump polls, discuss growing public support for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), expose what they see as MAGA Republican misinformation, and highlight key moments of on-air tension and pushback on Fox. The show blends sharp political analysis, signature humor, and caustic critique of both Trump and Fox News.

This episode captures Fox News’s forced reckoning with the reality of Trump’s crumbling public support, contrasts Democratic and MAGA approaches to policy, and lampoons the desperate attempts to spin or obscure negative news about Trump. The Meiselas brothers lay out the poll numbers in detail, expose efforts to distract or misinform viewers, and emphasize how even Fox’s own data shows deep national dissatisfaction with Trump-era priorities. The result is both a scathing indictment and an entertaining, informative guide through one of the week’s biggest political media stories.
