Regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was panicking on air. They see Donald Trump collapsing in the polls. They see the jobs report being absolutely terrible based on the new ADP private job numbers, like 35,000 jobs lost when there was an expectation of 40,000 jobs created. And Donald Trump keeps on saying that affordability is one big scam and people shouldn't talk about affordability. And state regime media knows that this is about to wipe the MAGA Republicans out of power and potentially for generations. Let me just show you what went down here. So Donald Trump was holding a press conference, but the hosts on state regime media were too afraid to even say that it was about affordability because they were afraid that Donald Trump would send them a text message and tell them you can't use the word affordability because it's one big scam. So I want you to watch as the host of state regime media are fearful to even use the word affordability right now when that's on every American's mind, and rightfully so, because Donald Trump has cause such grievous harm to our economy. Before I play this clip though, I want to just ask you, please subscribe to the Midas Touch YouTube channel. You've seen State Regime Media Fox attack Midas Touch this week. You saw Donald Trump posting and attacking the Midas Touch this week. We need your help. So please subscribe right now if you can and help us get to 6 million subscribers. So here's the first clip right here. You'll see state regime media terrified of using the word affordability. Let's play it.
Jesse Watters
Thank you, John.
Greg Gutfeld
You bet, Sandra. We continue to wait for President Trump to speak for the White House announcing the latest move in.
I don't want to say the affordability agenda because he might text me the latest move in his efforts, I guess to make things More affordable. Can you say it any other way.
Jesse Watters
To improve the economy, to grow the economy. Right, John.
Ron Filipkowski
So then they need a distraction. They need a decoy. They need to start having the audience focus on other things. So they start attacking the Sabrina Carpenter. Let me show you an example right here. Because Sabrina Carpenter was upset that her music was stolen by the Trump regime and used in their propaganda videos where Trump post these videos of migrants being tortured and terrorized. And they were using Sabrina Carpenter's music. And she said, stop using my music for that disgusting purpose. It's my music. I don't want to be associated with this. And then the Trump regime started attacking her and commanded state regime media attack Sabrina Carpenter. So here's one of their hosts, Arroyo attack Sabrina Carpenter. Here, play this clip.
Greg Gutfeld
This is also the concert artist who at every show simulates oral sex with her dancers, the male dancers. But I guess none of that is evil or disgusting. The rule book has shifted. Ella Fitzgerald, you know, Judy Garland, they all did that. Kind of. All the talent.
Ron Filipkowski
They really.
Greg Gutfeld
They kind of behaved that way.
Ron Filipkowski
And this was a theme throughout the day on state regime media attack Sabrina Carpenter. Go after her. Here you'll see Kennedy and you'll see Greg Gutfield, attacker. Here, play this clip.
Jesse Watters
Sabrina Carpenter. She has been in deep yogurt with feminists because, you know, we tried to punch up the album cover. Jesse couldn't do it because it's too raunchy. She's on all fours like a dog wearing a man is presumably holding a leash and he's got a handful of her hair. Oh, and she's also doing some pretty, pretty graphic stuff on stage that is mimicking how babies are brought into the world.
Greg Gutfeld
Oh, she did the stork. This is not what I expect from somebody named Sabrina.
Jesse Watters
Yeah.
Greg Gutfeld
Or somebody who's a Carpenter.
Ron Filipkowski
And then one of the other hosts wants to give Sabrina Carpenter advice. One of the state regime media propaganda say, you just need to shut up. Let Donald Trump say what he wants to say about you. Let him steal your music and shut up, basically, is what they're saying. So utterly despicable. They said she's just. Just be quiet. Then they talk about Sydney Sweeney so that they can basically show videos of Sydney Sweeney's like, chest, basically because they think that their male Fox viewers like that. Here, play this clip.
Greg Gutfeld
I think she should have just ignored it. That's the problem with the left. Just ignore the president. Just ignore him. And they can't do that.
Jesse Watters
Yeah, Sydney Sweeney ignored him.
Greg Gutfeld
Yeah, yeah. Now she's doing very well, we'll have a report on Sydney Sweeney tonight on Jesse Waters, an eight part series on Fox Nation. That's right. It's an hour special.
Ron Filipkowski
And so here they go. You know, they get extra desperate when they're broken bringing out their top dog, Sydney Sweeney. So they bring out this photo of Sydney Sweeney and they're like, all Republican women are hot. We're hot. Here, play this clip.
Jesse Watters
She's getting hotter. And they're so jealous. Right? So she's getting. They're like, she's so Republican. She gets hotter by the minute. Right. And so my advice to all the ladies, our side is better and you get hotter. Right? All Republican women are hot. Tell me that's not true.
Ron Filipkowski
That is true.
Greg Gutfeld
So when you register Republican, you just get hotter.
Jesse Watters
You do. It's like you get hotter with age. Like, you get wiser and hotter. It's like good wine. Like the wine you said.
Ron Filipkowski
What in the world are they even talking about? You see the Chiron, the left rages over Sydney Sweeney's looks. Dude, nobody is talking about this but state regime media. Oh, and then they have that same person, Kempins, or whoever this guest is, who's like. And here's the thing. Melania decorating the White House. She was born for this job. Here, play this clip.
Jesse Watters
Then you have Melania decorating the White House. And she's filled with class and integrity. It looks good, right? And she's always had amazing family values. I mean, ever since I can remember, she's just been the epitome of class.
Greg Gutfeld
When someone says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, do you correct them?
Jesse Watters
Yeah. I'm like, merry Christmas. And I could also tell that they're not a Republican.
Greg Gutfeld
You can tell, right?
Jesse Watters
I can tell. I'm not.
Greg Gutfeld
There's so many ways to tell. There's many, many ways to tell. We don't have time.
Ron Filipkowski
Right. That's why I called State regime media. It's so utterly pathetic. By the way, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant was kind of slipped into that segment for reasons that are unclear. And I think he gave away the game with this Freudian slip saying inflation's heading to 4%. He goes, not inflation. I mean. I mean growth. I mean, the growth of our country, not inflation.
Advertisement Voice
Yeah, right.
Ron Filipkowski
Here, play this clip.
Greg Gutfeld
So I think we could be at 4% inflation. Excuse me, 4% real growth, and then inflation trending back towards targeted 2. So 6% nominal growth.
Ron Filipkowski
Okay, so while you have all of that going on, you then have Jesse Waters talking about Newsom. They're terrified you could see who they're scared about. Right? Also, I should note this. Sabrina Carpenter's response to the Trump regime attacking her and stealing her music. It's been viewed like 150 million times on Twitter now. X by the way, then they go after Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom spoke at a business conference hosted by the New York Times Dealbook on his way to Washington, D.C. today. And you'll see Jesse Waters say they want Gavin to destroy the country like he's destroyed California. He's just gonna destroy the country like California. California has the fourth largest GDP in the world. California basically funds all of the red states. Red states are failed states. They are taker states, leech states. Whereas California gives the federal government $85 billion more than it takes. And California leads the country in basically every single category. But go on, Jesse, play this clip.
Greg Gutfeld
Gavin destroyed California, but that's a good thing if you're a Democrat. Destruction's the key. Yeah, they want Gavin to destroy the country just like he did the state of California. They want open borders, they want homelessness, they want drugs, they want crime. That's the goal is to attack Western civilization. So that's not really gonna hurt him in the Democrat primary.

Ron Filipkowski
D A S and then Jesse Watters attacks Gavin Newsom for crossing his legs. Here, play this clip real quick.
Greg Gutfeld
Can we put Gavin Newsom crossing his legs? Kaylee, when you see a guy cross his legs like this, I mean, what do you think?
Jesse Watters
I think about you, Jesse, and how you cross your legs every moment until the five starts and the cameras roll and you uncross them. That's what I think.
Ron Filipkowski
Fake news.
Greg Gutfeld
That's the first thing she said that was ever wrong on this show. We'll let it slide. Thank you, Kaylie.
Jesse Watters
It is fake news.
Ron Filipkowski
So then they go to another story that they want to distract their viewers with. So what else? What red meat can they throw their base? So they talk about this story that's like a turning point USA generated story. And they're like there's this undergrad student who's a pre med major and she was asked a scientific question and rather than answering with the correct answer, she cited religion and God as her answer. And she got a zero on her paper because she didn't answer it with the medically correct information. As a pre med major, she basically said God told me this words to that effect. So the teacher gave her a zero is basically the story. And Fox says she should be able to talk about her religion as a pre med major. Well, she wants to talk about her religion. Everyone has a free speech, right? But the issue is you have to answer the question correctly. So this is what state regime is talking about. Watch Kayleigh McGee White one of the Fox host say she just gave her answer about her informed religious views. What's the wrong answer for this test question? That's the thing no one's saying she can't practice her religion. Just answer the question correctly here, play this clip.
Jesse Watters
Yeah. And I went and I looked at the original prompt. TPUSA shared this on X and it asked students to provide a 650 word reaction response to an article about gender stereotypes and mental health in order to demonstrate that they had read that article and that they understood the material in it. This was not a request to provide some long empirical essay debunking or proving every single thing that the article was talking about. It asked for students reaction. She gave her reaction, which was informed by her religious worldview. Nothing about her response was wrong in compared to the original prompt. And yet this professor used it as an opportunity to go after her because of her religious beliefs, ironically claiming that that's not what, you know, the motivation was. And I can't help but think that, you know, I'm so thankful for tpusa because if it was not for conservative organizations like that, none of this would have come to light. And quite frankly, you know, she probably would continue to be demonized for her religious beliefs. So I'm really thankful to see that conservatives are standing up for their beliefs and not self censoring anymore. And let there be light.
Ron Filipkowski
And then Harrison Faulkner, one of the Fox hosts, is like, they gave her a zero. They gave her.
Jesse Watters
Play this clip well, and he made it punitive. It's not okay to be separate. It's not okay to believe what you do and to be able to say why you believe it. Right? He's holding an opinion. It's not even worth one piece of sacred truth out of 100. Give her zero. And because apparently her remarks were offensive, that was the root of the problem here. But I will just say to David's point about change happening, right?
Ron Filipkowski
Then they bring her on and here's what she has to say.
Jesse Watters
I am saddened that they're offended by the truth of the gospel and the truth that I wrote about in my assignment. And it saddens me to see that that offends them and upsets them the way it did. Jesus is always worth standing up for. And I just encourage those people that are dealing with something similar to push back against.
That kind of behavior. I would rather have my integrity and give my true opinion and get a zero on an assignment than have to lie about what I really believe. She gets a 100 because she knows why she believes what she believes. I'd quiz that professor on whether or not he even believes they're 99 gender or whatever.
Ron Filipkowski
Okay, now here's the thing. The American people are struggling right now over real issues. Healthcare is being ripped away. Come December 31, the Affordable Care act subsidies officially go away. You have people 30%, 40% to people in various states who are not buying health insurance right now from the Affordable Care act exchanges because they can't afford it. We saw the ADP private job numbers. 35,000 jobs lost when people thought there would be a 40,000 job gain. Americans are suffering across every sector right now, except for Trump's billionaires. And this is what you're doing. This is what you're focusing on. But then they need their enemy. Their new enemy is the Somalians. It's always been an enemy. But what they're realizing, and this is their thinking, they have to pull back some of their attacks on the Latino community because they need their votes come the midterms, right? So now they're talking about Somalians and the Somal as a group, like it's the most racist tech. The Somalians are doing 80% of the crime. And the Somalians, I mean, why? Why are you doing that? It's so cruel and unusual at the same time. Donald Trump is pardoning drug traffickers, the top drug traffickers, people who engaged in $2 billion Ponzi schemes, like that guy Dave Genteel. Donald Trump just pardoned this Todd Wiecki guy who was involved in trust case that Trump's own government prosecuted, as Trump's doing that actually pardoning the biggest fraudsters. This is what he's calling Somalians as a. As a cult, as an ethnicity, as a culture, frauds. It just screwed up. It's just not okay. Then they have Tom Emmer say it's the Somalians just crap. Here, play this clip.
Greg Gutfeld
But you know what we're not talking about today. Do you realize that, you know, it's not that all Somalis are committing crimes, but 80% of the crimes being committed in the Twin Cities in Minnesota are being committed by Somalis.
Ron Filipkowski
And then Greg Gutfeld is like, it's refreshing. This is really refreshing because we've moved past all of the identity politics. I like that Donald Trump is saying that Ilan Omar, the congresswoman, should go back to her country in Somalia and that he's saying Somalians are garbage people. Here's the thing, Greg, if you want to say these things, you have a First Amendment right to be cruel and unusual. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be commenting that this is just evil and rude and not inclusive and just being an awful person. But here's what Greg Gutfeld has to say. Here, play this clip.
Greg Gutfeld
It's kind of refreshing to see Trump be able to say that stuff about Omar and not be called all these names because that whole identity politics thing doesn't work anymore. Everybody realizes he's focusing on what she's doing, not who she is. And what does she do? She calls him a rapist. A rapist, a racist, a xenophobe. Doesn't work. A white supremacist. It doesn't work.
Ron Filipkowski
And then Greg Gutfeld goes back to talking about Sabrina Carpenter. Here, play this clip.
Greg Gutfeld
Every time we talk about her, talk about her. Every time we talk about affordability, we're not talking about Sabrina Carpenter.
Jesse Watters
You want to talk about her?
Greg Gutfeld
Well, here's the thing is, I'm not into the celebrity aspect. I'm into the phase of life. Think about, okay, like, look at her as opposed to a representative of women her age, single, no kids, no responsibilities, they have yet to experience any transformative event that would inform their beliefs. So the things that she detests today, she will learn and understand to value later. Like we all have.

Title: Fox News Panics on Air Over Trump Death Spiral
Date: December 4, 2025
Hosted by: The Meiselas brothers & guest commentator Ron Filipkowski
This episode features a deep dive into what the MeidasTouch crew dubs “state regime media” (Fox News), focusing on its on-air reactions to negative polling for Donald Trump and worsening economic indicators. The panel highlights the apparent panic among Fox hosts, the network’s attempts to deflect criticism through culture war distractions, and Fox’s response to both policy failures and cultural stories. The episode mixes critical analysis, humor, and pointed media critique with the brothers’ signature banter.
“They were afraid that Donald Trump would send them a text message and tell them you can’t use the word affordability because it’s one big scam.”
— Ron Filipkowski (01:49)
Sabrina Carpenter Incident:
Sydney Sweeney Distraction:
Melania Trump and Holiday Culture Wars:
Fox amplifies the narrative that “80% of crimes” in Minnesota are committed by Somali Americans, with Rep. Tom Emmer and others joining the chorus.
Greg Gutfeld: “It’s kind of refreshing to see Trump be able to say that stuff… because that whole identity politics thing doesn’t work anymore." (17:26)
The MeidasTouch episode exposes what the hosts see as the collapse of substantive political coverage on Fox News in favor of hollow culture war stories and scapegoating tactics. It puts a spotlight on Fox’s reluctance to address economic hardship honestly, instead defaulting to personal attacks, distraction, and even outright bigotry. Listeners are encouraged to think critically about media narratives and are reminded that democracy requires vigilance, real information, and a focus on the issues that truly affect Americans.
