Media known as Fox is collapsing before our eyes. Laura Ingraham on live TV had James Comer come on. And James Comer's like, I gotta tell.
Commentator 2
You, Laura, let me explain it to you.
Commentator 1
The Democrats, they're a massive cult. I keep bringing them in and they're saying that former President Biden was not cognitively addled. These Democrats are a cult. You're calling the Democrats a cult. The MAGA Republicans are quite literally a death cult for Donald Trump. But do, do tell James Colma, do tell here this clip.
James Comer
Well, he didn't tell us a whole lot of what you wouldn't expect. It appears to me a lot of these Biden lackeys, they're still trying to claim that Joe Biden was in top physical condition when everyone in America saw it in the debate. Everyone in America saw the rapid decline over the last year of his presidency, especially the last four months of his presidency. It's almost like they're a cult, you know, the seven or eight people that were around. Joe Biden is like a cult. But at the end of the day, his testimony wasn't consistent with others who have actually testified. About half the Biden people have pled the fifth, the other half have testified and all their testimony is inconsistent. So we're going to put the pieces together and we're going to release all the transcripts and we're going to issue a report and hopefully we'll be able to determine whether or not Joe Biden had any idea who was using the auto pen and what they were using it for. Thus far, there's no evidence that emerges that he did know.
Commentator 1
And as Donald Trump and James Comer and the MAGA Republicans tried to cover up Donald Trump's deep, dark and sick connections with Jeffrey Epstein, they keep trying to make up, you know, more lies about 2016 and Obama and the FBI and all of these things. And so James Comer's like, you know about these burn bags. Obama used burn bags to hide Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia or something like that. And then Comer, like, I knew all along these Democrats would try to destroy the evidence. I mean, y' all are literally trying to destroy the evidence of Donald Trump's connections with Jeffrey Epstein. Y' all are out there giving immunity deals to sex traffickers. I mean, that is the Trump doj. Ghislaine Maxwell, you're letting her dictate terms. But anyway, here's what James Comer says here, play this clip.
Commentator 2
And Congressman, as I mentioned, FBI Director Cash Patel announced that he found burn bags of Trump Russia hoax documents in a secret room. One of the documents officials found was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes the underlying intelligence he reviewed. So I guess it's kind of an annex section of that report now, Congressman, maybe it was just duplicated. And you do burn things. And that is not. I don't want to make it like you don't ever have burn bags. You do have burn bags in the government, but what do you make of this?
James Comer
Look, I knew all along that the Democrats would try to destroy any evidence that would make them liable in this Russia hoax. We knew it was a Russia hoax. Fox knew it was Russia hoax. You did a great job, Laura, reporting the facts about this Russia hoax. Now, Kash Patel, who, by the way, is the right guy for the job, he's in there. We've got John Radcliffe in there, Tulsi Gavords in there. They're all trying to get the truth to the American people and hold people accountable. It's not just about the fact that we've proven they lied all along to try to hurt Donald Trump and destroy his presidential campaign. It's about the fact that they've lost confidence, we've lost confidence in the intelligence community. We have competent people in there now. We want them to pay a price. We want the Comeys and the Brennans and those guys to pay a price for what they did. It's illegal, it's wrong, and they need to be held accountable. And I think Kash Patel is on the right. And God bless Cash Patel and John Radcliffe.

And then you have Jesse Waters saying, you know what, goes Democratic Senator Cory Booker. He shows too much emotion. He goes, you know, real leaders, he goes, like Donald Trump, they don't show emotions at all. You know, as this one account says, Trump was literally a deranged, lobotomized ferret when they arrested him. Ranting and raving like a maniac endlessly. Trump's the biggest crybaby ever. But anyway, play this clip.
Commentator 2
Rules for Men. Control your emotions. You never see Trump lose his cool, even when they arrested him and put him on trial.
Commentator 1
And you have this other Fox guest talk about how you know the problem with Cory Booker, Senator Booker, he's not acting like a statesman. All he's saying is, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. And that's not what you should do. You need to really be a statesman. Y' all are giving lectures to Democrats on behaving like a statesman. And by the way, Donald Trump's literal expression is fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. That's literally sells. Fight, fight, fight. Shoes. Donald Trump is the least statement. This statesman, this Trump regime is the least group of statesmen. They're the biggest group of imbeciles walking around the fricking world, embarrassing the United States. Play the clip.
Jesse Waters
This guy's a lawmaker, right? Your job is to make laws, not noise, not threats, and not to tell people out there, fight harder. And if you're a nut bag someplace out there and you hate Donald Trump and you hate the Republicans, and this guy is not saying, we need to pass this law. We. In other words, he's not acting like a statesman. He's just saying, fight, fight, fight. Well, that message is received by a lot of people out there. And then we're all supposed to say, no, it's not what he meant. It's not what he meant. He's got to be a lot more responsible than this because he's a senator now. This is not like he's some, you know, he's on the school board someplace. He's a prominent guy. Yeah, he talks like he's got peanut butter on the roof of his mouth or whatever. But the bottom line is people listen, and it's an important thing. And you're up there on camera. Everybody's listening. You're one of a limited number of senators, right? We got 100. And you're saying, fight, fight, fight all the time. I think it's the wrong message. Be an adult. Be a statesman.

And then Jesse Waters says, look, with all of these illegal immigrants out, do we see fruit drying up from the vine? Are the costs increasing? The costs are increasing right now. Inflation is rising, by the way, I want all of our viewers to know this before I hit this clip, before I play this clip. Donald Trump right now is destroying and deleting the cpi, the consumer price index data inputs, which helps us understand inflation. So basically, the government's just making up numbers at this point because they got rid of the people who aggregate the data. But we all know that if we're going into supermarkets or stores, the prices are significantly higher. Like some cases double, some cases more, some cases, you know, 10, 15%, but the prices are higher across the board. Play this clip.
Commentator 2
But you're saying Donald Trump created 2 million jobs since he got sworn in for Americans. Okay, for Americans, a half a million illegals have lost their job under Donald Trump. Have anybody. Have you seen fruit dying on the vine? Have you seen bathrooms not being cleaned? Have you seen all. You said the economy was going to fall apart and that we weren't gonna have fruit on the table. That's not happening. Jessica. Everything you've said has been wrong. CNBC has just made fun of you all morning. They said you should not have Democrats be your money managers because they don't know what they're talking about. Except Nancy Pelosi, Warren Buffett. Except Nancy Pelosi, Warren Buffett.

Look, I'm gonna be honest. I love soda. And I've loved soda my whole life, well into my 20s and my early 30s. And with all that sugar, though I just know the compounding effect well, I needed to try something different. Olipop is a new kind of soda that provides the classic soda taste with the health benefits of functional ingredient blend to support digestive health. Olipop is reimagining soda with high fiber and only 2.5grams of sugar per can. Olipop is sold online and available in almost 50,000 retailers nationwide. Almost every American has some sort of relationship with soda from their childhood or their adulthood. Some people grew up drinking it all the time and then quit. And some people are still addicted to it, like me, and are trying to quit. Olipop uses functional ingredient blend to support digestive health. Olipop offers a delicious alternative to traditional soda, providing mainstream consumers with the flavor they want without the typical health trade offs. 90% of Americans consume more than the USDA's daily recommended added sugar intake of 30 grams. Sweetened beverages like soda are the leading source of added sugars in the American diet. Olipop is much, much lower in sugar than conventional sodas with only 2 to 5 grams of sugar from natural sources. There's no added sugar. Their vintage Cola has just 2 grams of sugar as compared to a regular Coca Cola which has 39 grams of sugar. Their orange squeeze has 5 grams of sugar compared to the Orange Fanta which has 44 grams of sugar. Get a free can of Olipop Buy any two cans of Olipop in store and Olipop will pay you back for one.

Then, you know, Fox has to, like, create their weird culture war issues. And so this is what they were posting all day. Liberals hate hot women. Liberals have declared a war on hot women. Liberals have declared war on a hot woman. This is what these magas do. This is what regime media does. They create some crisis and controversy and then say the liberals are going crazy over, like, what are you even talking about? Y' all are disappearing human beings off the street. You have ice gestapos tearing families apart. You've declared a trade war against the world, causing inflation to rise, harming the economy. You've got Donald Trump out there just covering up the Epstein files every day. Um, but I'm sure the big issue is, is this. Let's cut the nonsense. Liberal women aren't mad at Sydney Sweeney because she's setting women back. They're mad because she's young, hot, white, and blonde. And they're mad that corporations are finally waking up to the truth, that the American people are done with woke. That's. What are you even talking about?
Commentator 2
What.
Commentator 1
What is the issue? What is a stupid, bad commercial about her? It's a bad commercial. It's a dumb commercial. No one guess. She's white, she's hot. How are you talking about? Can we focus on American jobs, please?
Jesse Waters
These.
Commentator 1
Trump promised prices would decrease. War in Ukraine would end in 21st. He would release the Epstein vials. Things are far worse right now when you're talking about hot white girls. What the hell are you even doing? They all wanted. It's always a distract and deflection operation. Then they bring on Mr. Nutlicker himself, Howard Lutnick. Sorry, Howard Lutnick. I won't call him Nutlik. His name is Howard Lutnick. And he goes, all my Wall street friends. Lutnick's a billionaire, by the way. They're all like, how'd you do it? How'd you do it, Nutlik? I'm like, we were getting billions of dollars from Japan, from the European Union, billions of dollars from South Korea, billions of dollars from Vietnam. No, you're not. These are not binding deals. These are not These are all fake trade deals. You know how I know they're fake trade deals? Because they don't exist on paper. Show me a piece of paper that has the deal. Let me look at the terms. Let's see if the terms are binding. This has never existed where countries have claimed deals. And it's a social media post. And you should know, nutlicker, nut lick, that if you are in Wall street, you do what, social media deals or do you do contracts? So what is the deal? And we know Japan is saying no binding deal. We ain't given 550. Maybe we'll give a loan. We know the European Union say they ain't given 750 billion. We know South Korea ain't going to get 450 billion. Its entire GDP is 1.1 trillion here. But play this clip of Ludnick.
Howard Lutnick
See, and I remember one of my favorite lines is after April 2, right, I go home and remember the market was all a tizzy and I got all these phone calls from my Wall street buddies and they were going crazy. They're like, you don't know what you're. And you're going to destroy the market. You're going to destroy this and that. And they were all blowing up the Internet. They all are experts. And let me tell you who the experts are. Donald Trump and his trade team have proven the EU pays, Japan pays, Korea pays, Vietnam pays, the Philippines pay. They all. Indonesia pays. And the list, by the way, we did like five deals. Donald Trump solved a war between Thailand and Cambodia all weekend long, by the.
Commentator 2
Way, he solved the conflict worldwide. 1Amonth since he'd been president.
Commentator 1
That's unbelievable.
Howard Lutnick
And because he uses trade, he gets to invite me on the phone and I listen all day Saturday while he's calling Cambodia, Thailand, Cambodia, Thailand. And what happens on Monday? They announce a truce? You know, we did today. We made trade deals with Cambodia and Thailand. I mean, how, when you get back.
Commentator 1
To the private sector, then you have the Secretary of Interior, Doug Burgum, bragging that the United States is hereby shutting down wind energy, solar energy. It's all woke. We're focusing on coal, everybody. So while the rest of the world develops critical energy sectors that in growth industries that provide jobs here in the United States, we're focused on horse and buggies and coal. What else are we. What else are we focused on here? Anyway, play this clip.
Commentator 2
Still a lot of wind projects that are moving forward and the ones in the ocean as well. Empire Wind, Vineyard Wind. Are those going to be stopped as A result of this?
Doug Burgum
Well, I think the big thing, Martha, is with the one big beautiful bill has taken a major step forward and finally, after 33 years, phasing out these just massive subsidies that were creating essentially tax schemes as opposed to power generation projects for wind and solar. And with the phase out of those, I mean, I think we're going to see almost zero applications for new projects that come in because 60, 70% of the value of a wind project, perhaps even more for offshore wind, which was very expensive, was the value of the tax credit. And of course, we're four. President Trump is four. Reliable, affordable American energy. And when you talk about wind and solar, you got something that is absolutely intermittent. It's unreliable, unreliable because it's dependent on the weather.
Commentator 1
And then you have Jesse Waters say, you know what? Being an ICE agent is the greatest job imaginable. It's like hide and seek. You get to find these migrants and you rip them apart from their families. It's like hide and seek, everybody. Hide and seek. Play this clip.
Commentator 2
They're all leaving, and you don't even notice a difference because there's that many illegals in the country. Being an ICE agent is the best job, if you think about it. All you're doing is playing hide and seek. All you're doing is you're it.
Commentator 1
You're it.
Commentator 2
It's the most fun law enforcement job there is. You get to go out, find the bad hombres, cuff them up, throw them in the van, next day, wake up, do the same thing all over again, and you're wrong. Like, you always get the bad guy. Like, how many times have we found out, like, oops, no, we deported an American 0 times. They're batting a thousand. It literally is the most fun police job you could possibly. You just did. You, like, are the HR recruiter for ICE and you get a $50,000 bonus. That's better than a tariff stimulus.
Jessica Tarlov
I thought life was horrible for ICE agents. And they have to wear masks because they're getting doxed and attacked constantly. That's what you told me last year.
Commentator 2
You get to wear a mask like you're the Wild west, like a little bandana.
Commentator 1
You hear what he said to you get to wear a mask. These people are the most unserious, despicable human beings imaginable. I mean, I just think about all of those videos I show you, where the families are ripped apart, where the kids are. The kids are in cuffs, and those kids are walking in that line. Or they see their parents, they get separated from their parents every day or their parents get sent to concentration camps like Alligator Alcatraz or Sea Cot in El Salvador or they go to Sudan. It's horrible, horrible stuff. Um, then Jesse Waters brings on maga. Republican Senator Josh Hawley. Because Donald Trump posted that Josh Hawley is a second tier senator. Plus because Hawley introduced a bill that would ban stock trading. And the ban of stock trading also applied to the presidency and the Vice President. So Trump calls Hawley a second tier senator. So Hawley then creates an exemption which says if you are the current president and Vice President, you can engage in stock trading and mean coin deals. This just applies to future presidents. But the current, you're exempt. So that's how Hawley capitulated to Trump and says, no, no, you go ahead and grift off the White House, really. Play this clip.
Commentator 2
So when you spoke to the President, did he explain why he called you second tier?
Josh Hawley
Well, I think that the president, a number of people who are opposed to banning stock trading had said to the President that he would be covered by the bill. He'd have to sell Mar A Lago and sell assets. Not the case at all. The President and the Vice President, all their assets are totally exempted. And here's the point. This is what we talked about. The point of this bill is to ban members of Congress from trading on the information that only they have. I've supported this bill for years, Jesse. I think we call it the Pelosi Act. It is named for her because she is the poster child of this kind of behavior. It ought to be illegal and it ought to be prosecutable.
Commentator 1
And here Jesse Waters again asks, how so are you a second tier senator? And then Holly says, you know, look, I, we, we gave Trump the exemption. I explained to him it's not going to, it's no longer impacting you. As our Editor in chief, Ron Philipowski writes what, what he told Holly Trump in his little talk after he posted that Holly was a second tier senator because he included the President in his bill, is that Trump wanted to be personally exempted from it and Hawley dutifully complied like the coward and fraud that he is. Here, play this clip.
Commentator 2
It's a great bill for Nancy and her, quote, husband, but bad for our country. Trump even gave Hawley a new nickname, Second tier Senator. Josh Hawley joins me now. Are you a second tier senator?
Josh Hawley
Well, that's not the worst thing that's been said about me even today, Jesse. So listen, I had a good chat with the President earlier this evening and he Reiterated to me he wants to see a ban on stock trading by people like Nancy Pelosi and members of Congress, which is what we passed today. I think it is absolutely vital we put a stop to this. Pelosi shouldn't just be investigated. She should be prosecuted. And we need to make what she is doing and other members of Congress is doing illegal. I mean, you shouldn't be able to go up to Congress and get rich by trading on information that only you have and not members of the public. Right now, lots of members of Congress are getting by with it. We need to make the whole thing illegal.
Commentator 1
And finally, our friend Jessica Tarlov on the 5 laying down the law to that idiot Jesse Waters here. Play this clip.
Jessica Tarlov
Now has a $37.5 billion budget which is larger than the IDF's budget. And we all know what Israel can do militarily. There is no reason that we should be choosing to fund them to that level while you're cutting food benefits, SNAP benefits for people, health care benefits. It's completely ludicrous and it's why the American public now has a negative view of ice over 50%.
Commentator 2
They're not cutting SNAP benefits. They're just saying you can't buy Doritos with food stamps.
Jessica Tarlov
Absolutely not true.
Commentator 2
It is true.
Jessica Tarlov
That is not true.
Commentator 2
You can't buy candy with food stamps. That's not a cut.
Jessica Tarlov
Second tier senators like Josh Hawley would tell you that that talking point is invalid.
Jesse Waters
Let me tell you.
Commentator 2
Second tier. How dare you. Josh Hawley is my favorite center. Also highest rated.
Jessica Tarlov
What?
Commentator 2
We run the numbers. He's the highest rated, like for your show? Yes.
Jessica Tarlov
Oh, it's not like a real rate. It's like your rating.
Commentator 2
Well, no, it's the ratings that we tabulate. I thought you meant technical analys.
Jessica Tarlov
It's not who makes you look good.

He's very well liked in Missouri as well. Okay, this is the best debate ever.

The MeidasTouch Podcast: "Fox News Nukes Itself on Air After Trump’s Failed Trip" – Detailed Summary
Release Date: July 31, 2025
In this episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, hosted by the Meiselas brothers—Ben, Brett, and Jordy—the discussion centers around recent tumultuous events in the media landscape, particularly focusing on Fox News, political controversies involving prominent figures, economic policies, and energy strategies. The episode delves deep into the intersection of media integrity, political maneuvering, and national policy implications, all interwoven with the brothers' characteristic humor and insightful analysis.
Timestamp: 00:29 – 02:47
The podcast opens with a critical examination of Fox News, highlighting internal conflicts and the network's apparent decline. The Meiselas brothers express concern over Fox News' stability, referencing a specific incident involving Laura Ingraham and Congressman James Comer.
They dissect a segment where James Comer criticizes Democrats, labeling them as a "massive cult," and draws parallels to MAGA Republicans' fervor. Comer’s assertions about Joe Biden's cognitive state and the inconsistency of testimonies within the Democratic ranks are scrutinized.
The brothers question the validity and implications of such statements, pondering the impact on public perception and media trustworthiness.
Timestamp: 02:47 – 05:39
The conversation shifts to Comer’s allegations against Democrats, specifically accusing them of attempting to destroy evidence related to Donald Trump’s connections with Jeffrey Epstein. The Meiselas brothers discuss the purported use of "burn bags" by the Obama administration to conceal Russia-related documents, as mentioned by Comer.
The brothers analyze the feasibility and evidence supporting these claims, questioning the narrative constructed to vilify Democratic figures and the reliability of sources disseminating such information.
Timestamp: 05:39 – 06:32
Attention turns to Senator Cory Booker, with Comer criticizing Booker’s leadership style. The commentators argue that Booker lacks the stoicism expected of a statesman, contrasting him with Donald Trump’s supposed emotional control.
The discussion highlights the perceived shortcomings in Booker’s approach, suggesting that his emphasis on "fight" detracts from effective legislative action and mature leadership.
Timestamp: 06:32 – 08:07
Economic discourse dominates the next segment, where Comer addresses rising inflation and critiques the administration’s handling of economic indicators like the Consumer Price Index (CPI). He alleges that Trump is manipulating CPI data to obscure true inflation rates.
The brothers debate the accuracy of these assertions, considering the observable increase in consumer prices and the broader economic indicators to assess the administration’s fiscal policies.
Timestamp: 08:07 – 14:10
The podcast shifts focus to Howard Lutnick, a Wall Street billionaire, whose claims about successful trade deals under Trump's administration are scrutinized. Comer criticizes Lutnick’s statements about purported agreements with countries like Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam, labeling them as "fake trade deals."
The brothers dissect the legitimacy of these deals, questioning the lack of official documentation and the actual economic impact, thereby challenging the narrative of a booming trade environment fostered by Trump.
Timestamp: 14:10 – 16:00
Energy policy takes center stage as Doug Burgum discusses the United States' shift away from wind and solar energy towards coal, citing the elimination of subsidies that previously supported renewable projects.
The Meiselas brothers critique this pivot, arguing that abandoning renewable energy hampers sustainable growth and job creation in emerging energy sectors, while also questioning the long-term economic and environmental ramifications.
Timestamp: 16:00 – 17:05
The conversation pivots to immigration, with Jesse Waters extolling the virtues of being an ICE agent. The portrayal of ICE agents as enjoying their role in enforcing immigration laws is met with strong criticism.
The brothers highlight the human cost of strict immigration enforcement policies, emphasizing the emotional and social toll on families and immigrants affected by ICE actions.
Timestamp: 17:05 – 20:35
Senator Josh Hawley becomes the focal point as Comer discusses Hawley’s introduction of a bill to ban stock trading among Congress members, which controversially exempts the current President and Vice President from the ban.
The podcast critiques Hawley’s decision to exempt Trump, suggesting it undermines the bill’s integrity and reflects political favoritism. The brothers question the implications for congressional accountability and integrity in financial dealings.
Timestamp: 20:35 – End
The episode concludes with Jessica Tarlov addressing the public’s negative perception of ICE, attributing it to perceived budgetary priorities and policy decisions that favor foreign military spending over domestic welfare programs.
The Meiselas brothers emphasize the importance of prioritizing domestic needs and reevaluating budget allocations to address the concerns and welfare of American citizens.
In this episode, The MeidasTouch Podcast navigates through a myriad of contentious issues, from media credibility and political scrutiny to economic strategies and energy policies. The brothers, alongside their guests, provide a critical lens on current events, challenging mainstream narratives and advocating for accountability and transparency in both government and media spheres. The discussions are peppered with notable quotes and timestamps, offering listeners a comprehensive overview of the topics covered, while maintaining an engaging and thought-provoking dialogue.
