Political Commentator/Host
State regime media, which calls itself Fox News is in full collapse after Donald Trump's surrender to Iran. After Fox propagandists like Jesse Waters and Laura Ingraham had been telling their viewers, Donald Trump's never going to back down. Donald Trump will never do a deal like Obama's jcpo. Now that Donald Trump is doing a much weaker deal than Obama's jcpoa, Jesse Waters and other Fox propagandists are trying to justify this to their viewers and they're saying, this is exactly what we want to do. Of course we're gonna have to just unfreeze funds and give it to the Iranians. That's very different than what Obama did. No, it isn't. And in fact, Donald Trump's going to unfreeze more funds and have less controls than former President Obama. Obama did. Watch Jesse Waters right here as he completely loses it on live tv.

Clip Player/Producer
Let's play this clip.
- [03:39]
Fox News Commentator (Jesse Waters)
The only thing is, is that you're gonna have to unlock some money. Now. It's not like sending pallets of cash over there like Obama did. It's basically just unfreezing some of their accounts. But that's like peanuts compared to the hundreds of billions of dollars that they've lost because of the sanctions, the blockade, the war. It's absolutely crippled them. So I bet a lot of these guys, they unfreeze the accounts. I bet they fly to Beijing or fly to Vlad's neighborhood and just hang out with the mistresses because it's not a safe place to be. It's not a good place to be in Tehran.
- [04:15]
Political Commentator/Host
After all this then state regime media, which calls itself Fox, brings in Donald Trump's national economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, who says actually consumer sentiment is, has never been better. Right now people are so happy with the war, they're so happy with the way things are going at home. No, consumer sentiment is at a historic low, actually the worst since the University of Michigan consumer sentiment poll had been created in 1952. Watch Kevin Hassett pathetically lie here.

Kevin Hassett
That is good to see where specifically the jobs and the buildout is happening. But I mean, is that going to lead us to 6% growth? I mean, Kevin, the last time you and I spoke, you told me that you were expecting GDP growth to go 4 or 5. And then you said north of 6% later this year once the Iran conflict wraps up, are you still expecting them? And how do you get to north of 6%?
- [05:16]
Economist/Analyst
Well, I can tell you that if you say, and right now even Economist magazine, everybody's writing stories about the productivity miracle. We're seeing productivity numbers unlike anything we've seen before. That gets you about 2 1/2% growth. And that's probably under measured before you have more inputs, before you have more capital or more labor. And so then the question is, how much extra growth are you going to get from, you know, building factories? Well, that's actually really clearly in the data we just had March, that was one of the best months ever for capital goods orders. And so if you get say one and a half percent out of that, then you're starting even before you get labor's contribution to growth at 4. And you know, I think there's been a little bit of pent up demand because of uncertainty. You see that, for example, when people are worried about energy prices, one of the places that you see it is that they hold up buying a new car because they're not sure whether they want to get the truck that's their dream car, but has low miles per gallon or whether they need to get like the Prius or a hybrid that has high miles per gallon. They're really worried about the cost of gasoline. And what happens is that purchases of automobiles drop a lot of when that happens. And we're seeing that in the data right now. But imagine if this is resolved. People have clarity. They make the decision based on what's best for them. All that kind of pent up demand is going to be layered on top of the numbers that I talked about. So I really do think you can see a quarter like that. And it's not unprecedented. The last time we saw an economy that looked like this was in the 90s when all of a sudden the Internet was changing everything.
- [06:41]
Political Commentator/Host
And then Kevin Hassett says, but look, I understand that people are worried about prices and increasing as a result of refrigerant. That's the big issue that's making prices increase. Crazy policies regarding refrigerators. What are y' all talk crazy policies regarding refrigerators? No, it's a direct result of Donald Trump's tariffs against the world and his catastrophic war against Iran. People know where this is coming from. And Trump promised that on day one. You promised Hassett on day one that you were gonna make things so cheap. And in fact, by during Trump's first Year has said, I believe you said we would be booming. We would be at 6% GDP growth. We barely have any GDP growth right now.

- [07:31]
Kevin Hassett
But are you worried about affordability right now, Kevin? I mean, when you look at the price of groceries and insurance and housing and all the rest a couple of months away from the midterms.
- [07:41]
Economist/Analyst
Yeah, I mean, absolutely. Like, the price of gas has got to come down, that we've got to continue to do things like make sure that all the grocery stores aren't closing because of stupid rules about refrigerators. We've got to, like, do all of the above to get prices back down. We are 100% concerned about affordability, but we're doing micro things and macro things to make sure that inflation goes down. And I think that when you watch how steady core has been, then you see that our efforts are being successful. Like, we could do better going forward. Especially we get gas prices down, but inflation's coming down. You know, it's lower than it was when President Trump took office. So that's in the right trajectory once we get energy prices going in the right way.
- [08:19]
Political Commentator/Host
And then even Maria Bartirom is like, so you think we're going to still hit 6% JDP, you're still going to guarantee that? And then Kevin Hassett's like, yeah, absolutely. I just think that if you take 2% and you multiply it by 0.22 and you do a 3%, you get 6%. Okay, these people are the biggest damn liars that there is.

Kevin Hassett
That is good to see where specifically the jobs and the. And the buildout is happening. But, I mean, is that going to lead us to 6% growth? Kevin, the last time you and I spoke, you told me that you were expecting GDP growth to go 4 or 5, and then you said north of 6% later this year, once the Iran conflict conflict wraps up, are you still expecting them? And how do you get to north of 6%?
- [09:07]

Well, I can tell you that if you say, and right now, even Economist magazine, everybody's writing stories about the productivity miracles, and we're seeing productivity numbers unlike anything we've seen before.
- [09:18]
Political Commentator/Host
Then randomly, they start showing photos of, like, Hassan Piker, like the streamer, Hassan Piker. And they're like, we hate this guy. Why do we keep looking at him? We don't like him. Okay, why you keep showing images of him then? Like, why do you even talking. You're talking about things that are so disconnected from what the actual experience of the American people. Right now are who just want their health care. They just want to be able to afford a home. They just want a job with dignity. They just want normalcy, dammit. Here, watch what they say about Hasan Piker.
- [09:49]
Clip Player/Producer
Here, play this clip.
- [09:50]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
And am I the only one who. I mean, I'm sick of looking at Hasan Piker, but I can never tell if it's really him because he just looks like a generic leftist.
- [09:59]
Economist/Analyst
Every leftist dude with a beard and
- [10:01]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
a baseball cap online, I say, is this that guy? Again, I can never tell if it's him.
- [10:05]
Commercial Narrator
Yeah, they do have a look. I will give you that for sure.
- [10:09]
Political Commentator/Host
So then they bring on Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El Said, who's been on the Midas Touch network before, and he goes on the Will Kane show. And I guess they thought, okay, well, here's what we're going to do. We're going to bring Abdul El Said on and Will Kain's going to do a great interview. Well, no, Al Said destroyed Will Kane. Kane, like, basically hijacked the show, took over the show and made it his own. This was incredible.
- [10:43]
Clip Player/Producer
Here, watch this.
- [10:43]
Political Commentator/Host
Let's play it a living wage.
- [10:45]
Abdul El Said
I want to make sure that they got a union. I want to make sure. I understand those positions, but you're not asking me that. And when I asked you about whether or not you had you actually pump your own gas, you didn't answer the question because you are so.
- [10:55]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
I pumped my own gas. We don't have any other way to do it in Texas. We don't have any other way to do it.
- [11:00]
Abdul El Said
You pay for the last time. How much did you pay for your gas last time?
- [11:03]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
I paid a lot. Gas prices are up right now and every American is concerned about that.
- [11:08]
Abdul El Said
And you are not asking me about that.
- [11:10]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
The question is whether or not Americans
- [11:12]
Abdul El Said
believe that taxpayer dollars that you keep defending, you keep.
- [11:15]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
We're talking over each other. We're talking over each other consistently. And the reason is is because we're having two separate conversations. Now, listen, you and I both know, and I'll tell the audience, I know your positions and I've helped you forward in some of those positions. I know you're opposed to the war on Iran. I know you're for Medicare for all.
- [11:31]
Political Commentator/Host
And then Will Kane realized very quickly that he was outmatched.
- [11:35]
Clip Player/Producer
Here, play this clip.
- [11:36]
Abdul El Said
So if we want to talk about law enforcement, I do want to bring up the question about the $1.8 billion Department of Justice piggy bank that Donald Trump wants to hand out to people who clearly broke our laws on January 6. But I asked the question about gas prices because I happened to pump my gas just on Memorial Day. The worst part of my day was having to pay 82, 89 while I thought about the fact that we lost more than a dozen service members in a war we never should have been fighting to raise those gas prices in the first place. If you want to talk about the rule of law, there are Mr. Opportunities.
- [12:09]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
I appreciate your position and I will summarize it for the audience. You are opposed to the war in Iran and you do not like the current gas prices. But Mr. Sayed, we had a very friendly exchange last week. No, no. You're not answering my question. Is the entire point. You're pivoting the talking points. I would like to, if you will
- [12:25]
Abdul El Said
let me finish my question.
- [12:27]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
I asked my appropriate.
- [12:28]
Abdul El Said
Let me finish my answer. $185 billion for ICE. That's $185 billion that are not being spent to improve anything from your infrastructure to your kids school or to help you afford gas is just the tip of the iceberg. So if you do want to talk about ICE, let's talk about the opportunity cost of paying $185 billion into an agency that is currently sowing unrest in New Jersey just like it would in Minneapolis.
- [12:51]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
What is the cost to deny citizenship for that?
- [12:54]
Political Commentator/Host
Yeah, more on that right here. Will Kane, not a good idea to bring in El Said here.
- [12:59]
Clip Player/Producer
Let's play this clip.
- [13:00]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
She would like to abolish ice. Now, what I would like to ask you is ICE is simply the enforcement mechanism for democratically elected laws of the people. Now, for a party who has talked about the threat to democracy, is it your position that you do not want to see the will of the people, the democratically elected laws enforced?
- [13:20]
Abdul El Said
First of all, will you and I both know that election law, excuse me, immigration law is not criminal law. Immigration law is civil law. It's like getting a parking ticket. So the idea that we should have a paramilitary force that is weaponized on our streets to enforce civil law seems to me to be a bit over the top. Particularly considering the fact that the current president is weaponizing ICE against the idea of the rule of law itself. The idea that they should just be governed simply by Stephen Miller and Donald Trump without any enforcement around basic warrant law or the Constitution itself, that to me is frustrating. Now I want to pivot just quickly because I do want to ask you, do you pump your own gas?
- [13:58]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
Well, before we start talking about whether or not I pump my own gas with your interest.
- [14:02]
Abdul El Said
It's important. No, no.
- [14:05]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
I just. I appreciate the interesting having a conversation, Mr. Syed, but what I say would suggest is I'm conducting this interview and I want to ask you about your positions. My interest today is you are running for Senate. No, excuse me. You are running for Senate in the state of Michigan. What I am curious about as you conduct a tour targeted at counties that voted for both Joe Biden and President Donald Trump is exactly how extreme or moderate your positions might be. I'm not running for elected office, so my position on current gas prices is of immaterial to the audience. Your positions as seeking elected office are what's important and what I would like to figure out is whether or not you believe in the rule of law. It's simply not true.

Political Commentator/Host
So then they gotta bring in another culture war issue, right? And will Kane's like, you know, the Giants quarterback Jackson Dart. Why are we giving him so much grief? Why are the people angry that he introduced Donald Trump at a political rally? There's nothing political about that. So what we don't get to do that. Only the left gets to do political rally. I don't even know what the left gets to do political rallies. You all canceled my former client and my business partner Colin Kaepernick because he took a damn Knee back in 2016, 2017. You remember that.

- [16:52]
Interviewer/Host (Will Kane)
Okay, Peter Doocy, thank you so much. Coming up, New York Giants quarterback Jackson Dart is catching heat for introducing the president. Proving once again, mixing politics and sports is fine, but only if you do it in one direction from the left.
- [17:07]
Political Commentator/Host
And then Will Kane starts reporting about the protests. Peaceful protests outside the Delaney hall concentration camp in New Jersey where the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo are keeping immigrants in subhuman conditions. The immigrants are getting sick. They don't have access to health care. I mean, it is deplorable conditions. Members of Congress are not allowed to enter against the law. We saw ICE attacking people outside. And so Will Kane, though, goes, this is the best health care immigrants have ever received. They should feel blessed and lucky by what's going on here.

DHS says none of that is true and that the detainees are receiving three meals a day, clean water, clothing, bedding, showers, soap and toiletries. For many illegal immigrants, this is the best health care they've ever received. Includes medical, dental, mental health services, 24 hour emergency care, this facility, and then
- [18:09]
Political Commentator/Host
the distraction on top of distraction on top of distractions when it comes to this regime. Right? They went to war in Iran to distract from the Epstein files. Now they want to distract from the war in Iran and the Epstein files buy more ICE and Border Patrol invasions. They're back. Everybody. Mark Wayne Mullen, the Department of Homeland Security secretary who took over that job from Kristi Noem, says, quote, we are drawing up the plans right now to shut down international flights into blue states that we deem, quote, sanctuary states or sanctuary cities. We will be blocking international travel. You just want to destroy the economy even more, you idiots.

VRBoCare Representative
We are currently, which we're not initiate yet, but we're currently drawing up plans to say, listen, in these sanctuary cities where the local radical left Democrats aren't allowing us to do our job and enforce federal laws, then we shouldn't be processing international flights into their cities either because they don't want us to enforce immigration, but they want us to process immigration at their facilities. Nothing about that makes sense to me.
- [19:22]
Political Commentator/Host
Let me tell you something. They're aiding and abetting, law breaking. And, and then he said the extreme radical Democrats, they were out protesting on Memorial Day. They should be celebrating. Damn it.
- [19:36]
Clip Player/Producer
Okay, here, play this clip.
- [19:38]
VRBoCare Representative
Shows where these, you know, extreme radical Democrats priorities are when they choose Memorial Day. Of all the days to go out and protest the fact that we took criminals off the streets, their priorities lie more with protecting these criminals, which are the worst of the worst, than it is actually. Well, I would say celebrating the sacrifice that men and women across this nation have paid for the freedoms that they have to go out there and practice their First Amendment rights. But why Memorial Day?
- [20:09]
Political Commentator/Host
Then you had James Comer, head of the House Oversight Committee, or soon to be ex head of the House Oversight Committee. And James Comer says, you know, look, everybody, what we're all really angry about right now is, is. Is. Is in California, Newsom, he's given. He's giving them prisoners a tablet. He's giving them tablets. That's fraud and abuse. You can't give prisoners tablets. You want to talk about waste, fraud and abuse? Why don't you look at your own damn party and what Donald Trump is doing every single day.
- [20:45]
Clip Player/Producer
Here, play this clip.
- [20:47]
James Comer
But at the end of the day, you think about all the school kids in public schools all across America that need tablets. They need material. And in California, Governor Newsom is using tax dollars to provide these tablets for inmates who were communicating and harassing people on the outside. That's a terrible use of taxpayer dollars. The inmates aren't even supposed to be communicating with people on the outside. But again, this is another example of liberal leadership in California by Gavin Newsom and an utter disregard for the American taxpayer.
- [21:19]
Political Commentator/Host
And then state regime media has to go to its next war. The neocons, the warmongers, they crave it. Okay, Donald Trump surrendered to Iran. So who can we go after next? Cuba. Let's set up a pretext to invade Cuba. All right, we'll exit Iran, then we'll invade Cuba. Maybe that'll be easier than Iran. That's what the Trump regime is thinking. And Fox wants to help out. So Fox invites the Cuban foreign minister on to Fox. And by the way, the Cuban foreign minister just completely outmatches this Fox host. And the Fox host thought there was going to be gotchas with the Cuban foreign minister. But the Fox host is like, so Marco Rubio told me that you possess a national security threat. And the Cuban foreign minister is like, you really think that we are dumb? Like, you think we're going to launch drones in the United States? Like, why would we? We just want to exist. Why would we throw drones in the United States.

- [22:24]
Fox News Host
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told me, sir, on Thursday that the Cuban regime poses a direct national security threat to the United States of America. He mentioned an arsenal of military drones provided to the regime by the Russians, by the Chinese. He alluded to reporting in the United States last week that the Cuban government has even discussed internally potential plans to attack US Military targets. Is any of that true?
- [23:01]
Cuban Foreign Minister
Well, just imagine Cuba is a small island, 100,000 square kilometers and 10 million inhabitants. Based on what logic? What would be the common sense behind the idea that Cuba could threaten a nuclear superpower?
- [23:21]
Economist/Analyst
Second, we will have to ask the
- [23:24]
Cuban Foreign Minister
Secretary of State if he has any evidence. I have heard. I have heard him lying on and on regarding this issue last week as.
- [23:36]
Political Commentator/Host
And then the Fox host is like, all right, all right, I hear you, but let's talk about Raul Castro. What do you think about the fact that Donald Trump just indicted him? Pretty powerful move, huh? Pretty good, huh? And then the Cuban foreign minister is like, okay, why'd you wait if this was really a big issue to you? You knew the underlying incident 30 years ago, so why are you doing this right now? Oh, it's just a pretext for war.
- [24:07]
Clip Player/Producer
Watch this. Let's play this clip.
- [24:09]
Fox News Host
Last week, as you know, sir, the Trump administration indicted Raul Castro. This is the same type of decision that was made about Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro before the United States States captured him, removed him from the country. Do you have concerns about the United States plotting potential regime change in Cuba? Are you prepared to defend against that militarily?
- [24:37]
Cuban Foreign Minister
We will have to ask the US government, why did it wait for 30 years to do this? We will have to ask, what is the ethical value? What is the legal value behind these allocations right now? If this is part of the political narrative aimed at manipulating the US Public opinion to testify a military aggression against Cuba.
- [25:07]
Fox News Host
Secretary Rubio.
- [25:08]
Political Commentator/Host
And then Fox goes. The Fox host goes to the Cuban foreign minister. But you're a failing nation. Donald Trump, our Fuhrer, our dear leader, says you're a failing nation. To which the Cuban foreign minister is like, like, well, right now we're struggling because you're doing a blockade and you're starving our people to death. But if we were really failing, then why would you need to do a blockade? Wouldn't you just let us fail and just blow up? Wouldn't we not be able to run the country? So why even do the blockade then? Oh, maybe because the purpose of the blockade is to starve the people to death. Is that why Watch as the tables are turned here.
