Wow, wow, wow. What was state regime media known as Fox doing all day yesterday? Seeing that Donald Trump's term is collapsing, the presidency is just falling apart. Well, they go, who cares about them stupid polls? Donald Trump's having fun. Who cares about stupid polls? Here, watch this.
- [00:22]
Ben Shapiro
I'm going to say this again, I.
- [00:24]
Ana Kasparian
Said it last night, but happy Trump is best Trump and he's having a great time. He doesn't care about these stupid polls.
- [00:30]
John Iadarola
He's fighting for Laura Ingraham. Really I'm glad you think that it's amazing that Donald Trump is having fun because may I talk about your sister company also owned by Rupert Murdoch, the Wall Street Journal, their headline Yesterday, Trump's first 100 days were worst for Dow and S&P 500 since Richard Nixon about 1973. JP Morgan says that based on the new data they have, they believe first quarter GDP will be negative 1.8% similar to what the Atlanta Federal Reserve was saying a few weeks back. Negative 2, negative 2.5%. Consumer confidence is at its like lowest level ever. But glad Donald Trump is having fun, folks. The propaganda got more intense from there yesterday because Fox has to create this fantasy world, this fugazi. Fox fugazi. Watch this clip as Ainsley Earhart, who's sitting there by the way, she's Sean Hannity's wife and then she soon sits there with Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary and his wife who also works for Fox. But here Ainsley Earhart said Trump is such a good communicator. He communicates so good. He's so smart. He's so smart. Here, play this clip.
- [01:49]
Ben Shapiro
I watched the press conference yesterday when the Phillies, when the Eagles were at the White House and he is so good at communicating. It's such a gift because if we had to do that, I don't know enough about football, I would be a nervous wreck. But he knows about every sport. He knows about trade, he knows about the border. He's so equipped for this job. And I think he's having more fun. Even said that in an interview with the Atlantic. He's having more fun this go round. But he talked to the coach. He brought the security guy up who loves Donald Trump. Let him talk. He talked to the owner, he, he talked to all the players. He talked about the plays and how they beat the Chiefs this time. It was just, I watched that press conference and I thought he is gifted.
- [02:28]
Cenk Uygur
Well and to the let's poll the audience.
- [02:31]
Ben Shapiro
In fact, we're going to go out in the audience.
- [02:33]
John Iadarola
Dean Baker says imagine that Your job requires you to constantly praise to the sky a demented, vindictive, 78 year old man. I guess everyone has to put food on the table. Know going to that next clip I was just talking about, you have Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, sitting there with his wife right there, and his wife has a show on Fox as well. And Sean Duffy says, it's been historic. Trump's done so much. Like, this is the ip, he goes, he says this, he goes, I pinch myself because he's doing so good and he gets to talk to me, I pinch myself. He says, play this clip.
- [03:12]
Ben Shapiro
Hundred days, I'm dizzy, you know, following everything he's doing. I can't keep up with him, let alone what all the other cabinet secretaries are doing.
- [03:19]
Cenk Uygur
And the President, the President's been historic and how much he's done, how fast he's moving and to be part of that and our family to be part of it. So we had to go to these White House events and again, I think as we'll look back, you know, 20 years from now, 30 years from now, and go, this man fundamentally changed the way that America works and the relationship that we have with our government. I just, and to be part of that, I still pinch myself that I gotta call the President and he'll pick up my call or call me back. It's really remarkable. And he's just, I saw him yesterday, he doesn't stop. I know, like it's, he's late for a meeting and he's, and he's talking to people and he's, and he's talking about policy and he's signing executive orders and he has so much energy and he's so joyful.
- [03:58]
Ben Shapiro
He's got like, it's 9:00 at night and there's a call from the President saying, sean, what about if we do.
- [04:03]
Ana Kasparian
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- [04:04]
Ben Shapiro
I mean, it's amazing. He doesn't stop.
- [04:05]
Cenk Uygur
No, I'll call him at 8 or 8, 9, 10 in the morning and if he's busy, he'll call me back at 8, 9, 10 o'clock at night. Right? But he calls people back and he's, he's so engaged with all the departments. It's just wonderful.
- [04:16]
Ben Shapiro
And the children are doing well.
- [04:18]
John Iadarola
Ashley Reese says, she goes, this is hilarious. Honestly, everything about it, the bullshit he's spewing, the audience smiling and nodding, like, incredibly funny stuff. Although actually, I'll say it would be incredibly funny if at the end of the day this was like actually just like an episode of the Apprentice. And we were non consensual participants in a dystopian reality show where he destroys all of our lives. But I get the point that you're making. Then Treasury Secretary Scott Besant goes on Fox Business cuz they're talk about business okay? And Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant keeps using the stupid word bespoke and he's like Trump's doing bespoke bespoke deals. That's why they're taking so long.
- [05:02]
Scott Besant
Play this clip the 18 key trading relationship. The President described them to the trade team as bespoke. Every deal is different and he's going to be involved so I'll wait to hear from him.

And again, I don't even know what he's talking about, but okay, bespoke, individualized deals. That's what you mean. Why would a deal with Mexico be the same deal as a deal with Japan? Or why would a deal with Japan be the same as a deal with Europe? Of course they're going to be bespoke. We had deals. The deals were done. Okay. We had trade deals. America was winning. We were number one. Number one. Number one in GDP growth. We were number one in every major category. Energy production, you name it. We were leading the world under former President Biden. Just the objective facts. Could things have been better? Yes. Was inflation high? Yes. Was former President Biden bringing it under control to 2% and interest rates being cut? Yes. Was former President Biden the cause of recession? No. Who caused recession? Donald Trump. Adding $8 trillion to the debt and screwing up Covid so badly that supply chains broke down and then went. New president came in and had to actually deal with it. The fire department was blamed for being the arsonist when Trump was the arsonist. Anyway, I can do a whole rant on that. You've heard me go there before. Okay, Here, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen takes his turn in the Trump kiss my ass club. As Aaron Rupert says, let's play it, Larry.
- [08:06]
Scott Besant
It's just the momentum is President Trump, the amount of momentum, the transparency, the energy that he has brought back to Washington, as you said earlier, the common sense. Look at the success on securing the border. Everyone said, oh, this can't be done. And some of the targets that the Biden administration had, they were in the tens of thousands. And I think a few weeks ago, nine people came across the border, most of whom we let in for medical reasons. So, you know, it's enthusiasm. And I think what we've really done here is deals.
- [08:45]
John Iadarola
And then Scott Besnin says, I'm not worried about consumers or even manufacturers paying more money or running out of stuff. They've done pre ordering. Pre ordering. Every bespoke pre ordering. What are you talking about?
- [08:59]
Scott Besant
2 days ago is as I've said many times, I think from the Chinese side, these high tariffs are unsustainable. That I believe that US Buyers pre did a substantial amount of pre ordering. And now the factories in India, in China are having to shut down. And I've seen some very large estimates of potential worker layoffs if these tariffs stay in place. So what. What I can tell you is the tariffs are unsustainable on the Chinese side, that we have a deficit with Them, the surplus country always suffers more. And we, they sell us roughly five times more than we sell them.
- [09:45]
John Iadarola
So sub deals. Donald Trump did 200 sub deals. We're not going to tell you what they are, but 200 sub deals here. Play this clip.
- [09:54]
Ana Kasparian
He has made 200 deals on tariffs, 200 deals. Who has he made deals with? Is there actually any deal at this point?
- [10:04]
Scott Besant
I believe that he is referring to sub deals within the negotiations we're doing.
- [10:11]
John Iadarola
As Aaron Rupar says, North Korean TV had a bit of difficulty finding people to praise Dear Leader. So yesterday, for Trump's disastrous 100 days, for them to try to make up for the fact that their pollster has Trump the worst ever in modern presidential history. The Fox poll has Trump at like 41%. I think the Reuters, Washington Post, Ipsos, ABC1 is like 39%, like the worst polling data ever. So Fox assembles this panel, knowing Donald Trump watches it in the morning. And just, I want you just to watch the degree of BS here. Play this clip.
- [10:48]
Ana Kasparian
This is what the president said he would do. He would make course corrections and go. Do you think the American public is getting that perspective? I do, to a point. I think people are a little bit nervous at this point, but I think we have to give him time. We elected him because we wanted a change, we needed a change, and that's why he was elected into office, to make a difference. And I think, you know, 100 days, he's done great things. He's scared a few people. But I think we need to give him a chance to follow through on his plan because I do think he's got, like Dominic said, great people in his corner and, you know, smart people. And he's a businessman. He's not a politician. And I think we have to give him a chance to go forward with his plan. All right, let's, let's get your reaction to this. In spite of whatever rough patches we may have seen, President Trump's supporters are standing behind him.
- [11:43]
John Iadarola
Take a look at the Fox Business Maria Bartiroma. Then brings on Senator Haggerty, who goes, this has been the greatest 100 days in my lifetime, the most impactful, the most positive we've ever been. Here. Play this clip.
- [11:57]
Ana Kasparian
I know you all are at work trying to move the president's agenda forward and your colleagues on the left and the Senate Democrats want to stage big protests. Your reaction?
- [12:10]
John Iadarola
I think in reality, Maria, they're protesting because this has been the most effective, most impactful in a positive sense, 100 days, certainly in my lifetime. Seriously, Seriously? May I show you this headline right here? China responds to Trump tariffs with defiant propaganda clip comparing making a deal with Trump to drinking poison to quench your thirst. This is from the China Foreign Ministry. They say bowing to a bully is like drinking poison to quench thirst. It only deepens the crisis. Okay, we're nowhere near making a deal with China. Let's be very clear here, okay? Trump, Besant lying about having communications with China, and Trump speaking to Xi Jinping. It's not happening. Canada, Europe, Australia, Africa, South America, Central America, other countries in Asia, Mexico. They're looking now and seeing, whoa, looks like Xi Jinping's more reliable than Trump. Significantly. Like, maybe we should just be trading with them. That's not good. That's not good. And in terms of Donald Trump making us even less safe internationally. Pakistan has credible intelligence that India intends to launch a military strike within the next 24 to 36 hours. Oh, I thought Donald Trump was going to stop all that. The issue is when America has ceded its authority as a leader in the world, stuff like that is more likely to happen. And who do we have? Pete Hegseth. That's who. We have Rubio. We expect those individuals to deal with it. Yeah, I don't. I don't think so. Finally, let me show you this clip right here. Stephen Miller on Fox. Short clip, because I can't do long clips of Miller. And here Fox and Miller are bragging about intimidating Jeff Bezos of Amazon to remove from the Amazon website where they were gonna list the extra cost of your products that are caused by tariffs. Stop the testing, as Donald Trump says. Right. Remember what he said during COVID If we don't show you the tariffs and the costs that are going to you, you'll just think that it doesn't exist. You won't even know it exists. Here, play this clip. But I understand there might have been a phone call from the President to Jeff Bezos on this this morning.
- [14:33]
Stephen Miller
I have no news to add on it. All I can say is that things worked out, John, exactly as they should. And the President is going to continue. What's our objective here? Our objective is we want these products, we want these supply chains, to the extent possible, to be manufactured here in America where they will benefit from a lower corporate tax. They will benefit from a significant deregulation and the most affordable, abundant energy anywhere in the world.
- [14:57]
John Iadarola
So speaking of products, it's. By the way, can I just give us some simple logic here, Donald? If tariffs are so amazing, if they're making us so rich you're a marketing guy. Why wouldn't you want to brand everything with your tariffs? If tariffs are amazing, don't you want to put tariffs everywhere? Make billboards of tariffs trump tariffs if they're so good? Also, if the tariffs are working so well, Let me ask you this Donald. Then why are you trying to negotiate deals to remove the tariffs with countries? Why don't you just want to keep them on? Because we're getting so, so rich right now. Or is all this deal talk, Donald? No deals. Just about market manipulation? Is that what this is really about? That you're manipulating the market? That's what I think is happening. Talk about a conversation. The market goes up, it goes down, it goes up. Who's buying the dips? Who's buying the when it gets up, I think we know the answer.
