Cancel contact T Mobile phone State Regime Media known as Fox is in a total panic mode right now as Donald Trump holds an emergency meeting at J.D. vance's residence with Vance with top DOJ officials like Pam Bondi and Trump's former criminal defense attorney turned number two at the Department of Justice, Todd Blanche, where they will be discussing how they further cover up the Epstein files. How do they handle Ghislaine Maxwell? Do they give her a pardon? Do they give her a commutation? What do they do to avoid this escalating and accelerating scandal that Donald Trump and the GOP are now guardians? They've always been, frankly. But they are demonstrating once again to the American people that they are GOP guardians of the pedos and quite literally covering up for a pedo sex trafficking ring. The way they are dealing with Ghislaine Maxwell and the way they are dealing with not releasing the Epstein files, in my opinion, of course. So Fox State Regime media has James Comer who chairs the House Oversight Committee on and Colmer says, look, I don't think when it comes to subpoenas the DOJ we're going to have to put up a fight at all because Donald Trump says he's going to release those files. I take him at his word. Seriously. Comer here, play the clip.
James Comer
The American people, I don't think we'll have to put up a fight with the Department of Justice because President Trump has said he's going to release the Epstein files. I take him at his word.
Political Commentator
Our house folks, that's part of the COVID up. So while Comers out there saying those things to the MAGA mush base who watches Fox, let's just look at Comer's actions. He's already canceled the deposition of Delaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker, Epstein's co conspirator, one of Donald Trump's former best friends in the 80s and the 90s and early 2000s. Her deposition was scheduled for August 11th. And of course, you know, now she met with Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, the number two at the Department of Justice, who granted her immunity, then moved her from the Tallahassee prison to the camp in Texas, which is like a resort for prisoners, and waived the fact that she's a convicted sex trafficker to put her in a minimum security facility. Now, in connection with Democrats outmaneuvering, maneuvering the MAGA Republicans to serve the Department of Justice with a subpoena for the Epstein files, which I covered this morning, James Comer's trying to cover up for the Trump regime by issuing subpoenas for Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James comey and like nine or 10 other people. But not a subpoena for Alex Acosta, Donald Trump's former labor secretary during his first administration, who was the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. These were all friends of Trump's and Epstein, that was the guy who gave Epstein the sweetheart nonprofit prosecution agreement deal. So what James Comer's plan is, he's going to subpoena all of these people like Clintons and then say, well, we can't get the Epstein files from the DOJ until Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have their deposition. First, I just want to give you the context of what's going on with the COVID up. And now you can see it play out as Jesse Waters announces that the House Oversight Committee made that subpoena. Here, play this clip. Fox News alert. House Oversight just subpoenaed the Clintons and other top Democrats over the Epstein files. Bill, Hillary, Garland, Mueller, Eric Holder and Comey. Just a few of the names called in for depositions. You see the plan evolving. Now, part of the plan is also to distract from the Epstein files. Donald Trump demanded the DOJ empanel, a grand jury to criminally prosecute former President Obama, James Comey, others in the Obama administration because Donald Trump says that Obama did something with Russia and Trump in 2016. Russia, Russia, Russia. Donald Trump just repeats that over and over again, even though we've all heard Donald Trump say Russia. If you're listening, please hack the emails of my political opponents. And then they got hacked. It was a bipartisan report as well, which said that Russia did interfere with the 2016 election. But this is part of Donald Trump's distraction effort. Say you're going to criminally prosecute Obama. Also, he says he's going to criminally prosecute Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. Here, watch this.
Laura Ingraham
And tonight, an update on an Ingram Engel exclusive. A Trump administration source telling the Angle that a criminal investigation of Adam Schiff is underway conducted by U.S. attorney's office in Maryland for possible charges involving mortgage fraud.
Political Commentator
And it just so happens that Fox gets all of these exclusives. Why? Because they're state regime media. James Comer on Laura Ingraham says, you know what, it's really the Republicans who are all about transparency. The Democrats are the one blocking all of this stuff. The Democrats are the ones not releasing the Epstein file. We're the ones releasing the Epstein files. Here, play this clip.
James Comer
The media has tried to make it out that Republicans didn't want to get to the bottom of this. The Republicans didn't want to be transparent. I can assure you Republicans want transparency more than Democrats. And we're going to do our job. We're going to provide oversight. And I think that we've got an administration that wants to be transparent. So I'm anxious to get started with this and hopefully we'll be bringing people in very soon to depose them and interview them.
Political Commentator
I mean, right is quite literally up is down, left is right. You know, everything is made up for these MAGA Republicans. Everything is the fascist propaganda tactics that you see in Russia and North Korea. What are you talking, y' all are literally covering it up. The Democrats were the ones who fought to release the files. You're fighting against it. Like that's just literally what's happening. So then as part of all of, of this kind of COVID up, Laura Ingraham brings on Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard was basically getting pushed out of the Trump regime because she said that Iran had no nuclear capabilities. And that contradicted Donald Trump's thirst for having a failed strike on Iran, which we now know was an utter failure. But she's gotten back into Donald Trump's good graces by saying that she and FBI agents, they found burn bags of secret, super secret files that nobody's ever seen before about Russia, Russia, Russia in 2016 and the integrity of our republic means that we've got to prosecute Obama for treason. Everybody, you know this ain't landing because we all know you're just covering up for Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein. We know what you're doing here. Play this clip.
Laura Ingraham
And they further say that there's like this idea of saying that Obama is guilty of treason, that there's almost no chance that he's going to be charged or convicted of treason. So why even go there? And I'll pose that question to you.
Tulsi Gabbard
The integrity of our democratic Republic depends on the American people knowing the truth about what actually happened and seeking that accountability, bringing about that accountability. I don't know how else to characterize what happens when there is a sitting President of the United States. There is a Director of the CIA, a Director of National Intelligence under President Obama. Obama, the head of the nsa, James Comey is the head of the FBI. All coming together, and this is documented in what we released, all coming together to create this lie with the intent of delegitimizing the duly elected President of the United States because the person they wanted to win actually lost. And the American people made their own choice in spite of everything that happened in that 2016 election and they chose Donald Trump. This was not a one off thing. This wasn't just, oh, well, they fudged the lines a little bit. They created a lie and propagated that lie in order to try to undermine the person that the American people chose to be our President and Commander in chief.
Political Commentator
Then we have Mark Meadows joining the fray. Hey, Mark Meadows, haven't heard about you in a while. Mark Meadows, in the last days of the Trump regime was literally there at the fireplace burning stuff during the first Trump administration. But Mark Meadow says, look, let me tell you what's happening across the country. Democrats want to gerrymander everything. Democrats want to desperately maintain control. They have no agenda. So Democrats are launching a massive plan to cheat in the midterm elections. Here, play this clip.
Mark Meadows
As more campaign speeches continue to get made, whether they be in Texas or Illinois or somewhere else, the American people are seeing what this is in reality, and that is Democrats, Democrats want desperately to maintain control. They have no plan. They have really no agenda. And so the only way that they can keep control is to try to keep the cards stacked against Republicans. And so here we are today with this fight. But I can tell you that at the end of the day, it will be a Republican agenda and a Republican amendment majority that delivers on behalf of the American people.
Political Commentator
Really? Like, like you want us to believe. We see what Trump is doing. We know what Greg Abbott in Texas is doing. Like, we're not dumb. These people would, I'd have more respect for these idiots if they just went out there and said, look, we're, we're fascist cucks, right? We're a cult. We, we are what we are. I'd be like, okay, that's who you are. Weird, don't like you, but at least you're owning up to it. But they're not, because they're weak and they're pathetic, right? And so you have to go and be aggressive with these people because they're pathetic losers. Because that's how pathetic losers behave. If y' all want to be fascist, just own it. Just own it and say, here's what I stand for. I stand for fascism.
Mark Meadows
I hate that.
Political Commentator
We just say it and then I'll be like, okay, that's who you are. We don't like you for that. You shouldn't be anywhere near any positions of government. But at least you're saying who you are. But they all, like, fake it.

Then you have Tulsi Gabbard again saying, you know, what really happens here is that there's a propaganda arm of the Deep State and the propaganda arm here.
Tulsi Gabbard
Play this clip that they do over and over and over again. And the next step they will take when they feel that they are not succeeding in getting rid of this truth that we have uncovered for the American people, then they will go down the route of we must destroy and smear and attack the credibility of those who are delivering the truth to the American people. They've done this to President Trump, they've done this to me, they've done this to so many different people once again who are trying to tell the American people the truth and expose these people, many of whom you just showed for who they are as the propaganda arm of the Deep State, who. Which would have no power and no influence if they weren't able to feed their lies into a willing spokesperson through the propaganda media.
Political Commentator
The hell are they even talking about? Here they are again. Let's play it.
Tulsi Gabbard
This very serious investigation.
Laura Ingraham
You heard the media reaction. A lot of these same people were just buying lock, stock and barrel what was sold to them during the 2016 election. But they're essentially saying this is all old news. This is such a stupid political move on their part. Into that you say they are using.
Tulsi Gabbard
The same old tactic that the Deep State's propaganda arm in the media uses. Whenever they come across something that is true and that doesn't go along with whatever their narrative is that they're trying to shove down the throne throats of the American people, they first usually ignore it, as they did when I first released these documents a couple of weeks ago. They tried to ignore it when they realized that they weren't going to get away with this, that this story was going to continue breathing life. We continued releasing new documents. Then they decided, oh, we'll take this approach and say, oh, this is nothing. There's nothing really to.
Political Commentator
Laura Ingram wants us to believe what's happening in Texas is the way democracy actually, actually should be working. Here. Play this clip.
Tulsi Gabbard
An all out war.
Laura Ingraham
Everything's no, what's happening in Texas is democracy. And it terrifies Democrats because they're losing ground and they don't know what to do to regain it.
Political Commentator
And they bring on Greg Abbott who says the gerrymandering in blue states is the real problem. Play this clip.
Greg Abbott
For example. I think Donald Trump won and all five of these seats that we will be making Republican seats. The same thing should apply in all those other states, Sean. That you mentioned in your monologue where you pointed out the gross gerrymandering in these blue states have rejected Republican candidates for office that should be serving those states, should be serving our country. It's the gerrymandering in the blue states that distorted the politics in America.
Sean Hannity
All right, Governor, good for you. Good for the fight. We'll see if these guys show up up and do their job as they should do. But clearly they don't want the same rules applied to them. That's what the story is really all about.
Political Commentator
And then you have Sean Hannity saying that Bud Light needs to hire Sydney Sweeney. Here, play this clip.
Sean Hannity
You know, the left is really despicable. Pretty disgusting. But I do have an idea. I want to get your thought on it. What about after the Dylan Mulvaney disaster of Bud Light? If I was Bud Light and I'm offering this to them, no charge. If I was Bud Light, I would hire Sydney Sweeney tomorrow. And.
Political Commentator
And then Fox tries to normalize Donald Trump walking around on a roof by having Peter Doocy say, my wife doesn't like it when I go on the roof. This is perfectly normal behavior. Let me show you that clip here.
Tulsi Gabbard
Play it from Washington. Was he yelling to you, Peter?
Political Commentator
He was, Martha. And I was just standing down there looking up like my wife doesn't like it when I go up on the roof.
Tulsi Gabbard
I wonder what the first lady get down from there.
Political Commentator
Yeah, go on down. We're right here. And just to remind you, here was Donald Trump walking on the roof yesterday. There's another clip where he's saying, I'm building nuclear weapons on the roof. I'm building nuclear weapons on the roof. I pay for everything. I pay for all of this. This is mine. I pay for it. By the way, here's how Fox covered Donald Trump walking on the roof here. Plate on the roof of the White House.
Sean Hannity
He's taking questions. Or he was just a few moments ago.
Political Commentator
Let's listen in, please.
Peter Doocy
You're looking good, Peter. What does that mean? What do you four ways to spend my money.
Mark Meadows
Can you give her another thing?
Peter Doocy
We'll show you. It's just another way to spend my money for the country. Anything I do is financed by me. So you're not the way it's contributed. Just like my salary is contributed. But nobody ever mentions that's walking on the roof.

The MeidasTouch Podcast Summary
Episode: Fox News Panics on Air Over Trump Emergency Meeting
Release Date: August 7, 2025
Host/Author: MeidasTouch Network
Duration: Approximately 17 minutes
In this riveting episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, the Meiselas brothers—Ben, Brett, and Jordy—delve deep into the unfolding crisis within Fox News triggered by former President Donald Trump's emergency meeting. Combining sharp political analysis with their signature humor, the brothers dissect the implications of this event on media integrity and democratic support.
Timestamp: 00:27 - 01:48
The episode opens with the political commentator raising alarms about Fox News being in a state of panic following an emergency meeting hosted by Donald Trump at J.D. Vance's residence. Attended by top Department of Justice (DOJ) officials like Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche—Trump’s former criminal defense attorney—the meeting's agenda centers around the controversial Epstein files. The commentator suggests that the GOP, under Trump's influence, is attempting to obscure the Epstein scandal, potentially discussing pardons or commutations for Ghislaine Maxwell.
Notable Quote:
"Fox is in a total panic mode right now as Donald Trump holds an emergency meeting... They are demonstrating once again to the American people that they are GOP guardians of the pedos." (00:27)
Timestamp: 01:40 - 05:35
The discussion shifts to James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, who publicly expressed confidence in President Trump's promise to release the Epstein files. The commentator critically assesses Comer’s actions, pointing out inconsistencies such as the cancellation of Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition and her subsequent transition to a minimum-security facility, which raises suspicions about possible cover-ups.
Notable Quotes:
James Comer: "The American people, I don't think we'll have to put up a fight with the Department of Justice because President Trump has said he's going to release the Epstein files. I take him at his word." (01:40)
"He's going to subpoena all of these people like Clintons and then say, well, we can't get the Epstein files from the DOJ until Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have their deposition." (05:35)
The commentator argues that Comer’s approach appears to deflect accountability by targeting high-profile Democrats instead of addressing the core issue—the Epstein files. This tactic is portrayed as a strategic move to distract the public from the ongoing scandal.
Timestamp: 04:37 - 07:03
Laura Ingraham’s segment is analyzed, where she discusses an alleged criminal investigation of Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. The commentator criticizes how Fox News frames these investigations as transparency while accusing Democrats of obstruction, reinforcing the narrative of a partisan media landscape.
Notable Quote:
Laura Ingraham: "A criminal investigation of Adam Schiff is underway conducted by U.S. attorney's office in Maryland for possible charges involving mortgage fraud." (04:37)
Timestamp: 12:02 - 14:05
Tulsi Gabbard is featured multiple times, where she accuses the Deep State's propaganda arm of undermining democratic integrity. She claims that key figures from the Obama administration collaborated to delegitimize Trump, perpetuating lies to maintain their power. The commentator supports Gabbard’s assertions, highlighting the struggle against entrenched political narratives.
Notable Quotes:
Tulsi Gabbard: "The integrity of our democratic Republic depends on the American people knowing the truth... They created a lie and propagated that lie in order to try to undermine the person that the American people chose to be our President." (07:03)
"The same old tactic that the Deep State's propaganda arm in the media uses... They decided, oh, we'll take this approach and say, oh, this is nothing." (13:30)
Timestamp: 08:43 - 15:00
Mark Meadows and Greg Abbott are brought into the conversation to discuss allegations of Democratic gerrymandering aimed at maintaining control. Meadows claims that Democrats have no coherent agenda beyond stacking the political deck against Republicans, while Abbott emphasizes the negative impact of gerrymandering in blue states.
Notable Quotes:
Mark Meadows: "Democrats want desperately to maintain control. They have no plan. They have really no agenda. And so the only way that they can keep control is to try to keep the cards stacked against Republicans." (08:43)
Greg Abbott: "It's the gerrymandering in the blue states that distorted the politics in America." (14:32)
Timestamp: 15:12 - 16:31
Sean Hannity is highlighted for his remarks on corporate decisions, specifically critiquing Bud Light for its marketing choices and suggesting hiring Sydney Sweeney as a remedy. Additionally, Peter Doocy’s attempts to normalize Donald Trump’s unconventional behavior, such as walking on the White House roof, are examined. The commentator underscores the absurdity and propaganda tactics employed by Fox News to divert attention from significant political issues.
Notable Quotes:
Sean Hannity: "If I was Bud Light, I would hire Sydney Sweeney tomorrow." (15:18)
Peter Doocy: "Everything I do is financed by me. So you're not the way it's contributed." (16:51)
Throughout the episode, the Meiselas brothers argue that Fox News and affiliated Republican figures are orchestrating a multifaceted campaign to distract the public from the Epstein scandal and other pressing issues. By targeting Democrats with subpoenas, promoting unfounded investigations, and using media tactics to downplay controversial actions, they assert that the GOP is undermining democratic transparency and accountability.
Final Notable Quote:
"The way they are dealing with Ghislaine Maxwell and the way they are dealing with not releasing the Epstein files... covering up for a pedo sex trafficking ring." (00:27)
Fox News Under Scrutiny: The network is portrayed as being in disarray due to internal crises linked to Trump's maneuvers regarding the Epstein files.
Political Manipulation: High-profile Republicans are accused of using subpoenas and media tactics to deflect from scandals and target opposition figures.
Media’s Role: The podcast emphasizes the role of media allies in perpetuating government propaganda and undermining democratic integrity.
Call for Transparency: A recurring theme is the demand for transparent governance and the exposure of alleged deep state conspiracies.
The MeidasTouch Podcast offers a critical lens on the intersection of media and politics, urging listeners to question mainstream narratives and seek the underlying truths in political maneuvers. This episode serves as a compelling exploration of how power dynamics within media and government institutions can influence public perception and democracy itself.
