Trump Starts War With Fox News as He Collapses Over Iran

We are in the middle of a war and instead of listening to his Pentagon, he has Pete Hexeth firing

generals and Kanks Donald Trump sits around and binge watches Fox News.

There is a queen on Fox News named Jessica Tarlov.

And she does just incredible work fact checking and checking propaganda in real time.

So a lot of these Fox viewers that have been so radicalized, the only time they ever

hear a tinge of sanity is from Jessica Tarlov.

And of course, Trump hates her.

And in the middle of the war, he has, he's attacking her because you know he loves to attack

women, pop this up.

Trump, for Fox executives only take Jessica Tarlov off the air.

He is from her voice to her lies and everything else about her.

One of the worst personalities on television, a real loser, people cannot stand watching

her.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, president, DJT and just a couple of notes here,

while the war is going on, Trump is watching Fox you guys just to make sure they stay

on script because this is a presidency that rules by propaganda.

Like all fascist autocrats do.

And he's trashing Jessica Tarlov because she's one of the only dissenting voices on the

network.

So he has this massive, massive, massive insecurity.

And anytime it's exposed, he lashes out, pumps you know, this truth, as it were, is the

answer to the question I often ask myself about people surrounding him, not raining

a man, putting, keeping him on point because he just goes fucking crazy.

If everybody does an agree with him all the time, it's really, really sick.

Yeah.

And I think we always have to remember we cannot apply our logic to this man.

You cannot say, well, why aren't people raining him in?

By design, he has surrounded himself with loyalists, scholars have taught us that autocrats

and dictators specifically by design surround themselves with loyalists.

That's why you see all of this purging, the deep state that they spoke about during

the campaign.

Those were nonpartisan government workers, people that wanted health insurance, wanted

a steady job, government seemed like a good employer, a couple weeks of vacation.

All of these people have been purged and replaced with loyalists.

And you know, we also have to give credit to Jessica Tarlov, because she sits next to

Jesse Waters, all, all, all our, I mean, that is, I don't know how she does it.

Okay.

And then here is a screen grab from Fox coverage on the war, pop this up.

This is Fox digital, a Ron Ward nearest completion as Trump eyes deadline, what the endgame

could look like US strikes hit one of Iran's largest bridges this week as Trump warns much

more to follow.

So this is just their online reporting.

All right.

Nothing about the bat shit crazy press conference that we saw yesterday.

Nothing.

We don't hear anything about that from Fox News.

They are constantly saying, washing the facts that he took credit live on television for

killing Osama bin Laden and advised everybody to read a book about it.

He says the Iranians in this press conference were begging him, please, sir, even though

you're bombing right next to me, please keep bombing the gaze for Ron, save us all this

crazy shit, crickets, they just have to tell this, this cult, they're like cattle.

And they just guide them as to what they want to hear.

Oh, we're going to bomb Iran, re liberating them.

Oh, it's nearing completion, no critical thought.

And that's why what Jessica Tarlaw does is so important because probably maybe 8, 10

percent might hear her and go, hmm, I wonder why, why they keep her on if, if she really

is lying because clearly she's not lying.

Well, she's the only one on that station that is not lying.

It's actually telling the truth.

I mean, my parents watched the five.

They will even tell you and they are like, ask deep in Magga.

They will even tell you, Jessica Tarlaw, she really comes with all the numbers and

data.

And I thought, so why aren't you listening?

But they go.

It's really interesting, isn't it?

Because I think that there's maybe a respect for her because she doesn't get into the personalities

of it.

She touts all of these numbers.

Fox News, we have to remember they paid a billion dollars for lying about the 2020 election.

In any other world, that business would be considered, oh, they're liars, they're out

of business.

Catholic church pays billions and billions of dollars for covering up child rape.

In any other world, that business, the Catholic church would be out of business.

But we always have this in Western culture where we let

certain people get away with stuff that we would never let other people get away with.

People that we deem powerful or in positions of power and, you know, that brings me to

the Epstein files, you know, it's just a play Fox News gets away with this.

The Catholic church gets away with it.

Southern Baptist church gets away with it.

All of these billionaires, including the president of the United States, get away with it.

All right.

And in a piece for a mediae, Colby Hall writes about what the Fox viewers sees every single

day pop this up.

So watch Fox for a day and you'll see it gravitating toward a particular set of facts.

Iran's weakness, the necessity of the mission, the heroic success of the US military, how

the left is actively rooting for the US to lose.

When criticism does appear, it's aimed away from Trump himself.

He may not have been fully briefed.

He may have received bad information.

He may be navigating forces beyond his control.

Trump is suggested to oddly be the victim in all of this as bizarre as it sounds.

And Pups has some anecdotal conversations with her Fox binging parents where they do,

they blame everybody around Trump, surrounding Trump, but not Trump.

Right.

They despise Stephen Miller.

They think he is absolutely appalling and vile yet they haven't made the connection

that Trump is Stephen Miller's boss.

And but for Trump, Stephen Miller wouldn't be in the job and that that continues to happen.

One thing it's been on my mind since this weekend.

Our Ingram wrote in a post that I saw, well, I guess the left, and I'm paraphrasing,

I guess the left's mad that they got the US pilot back.

No, I am delighted that the US was able to rescue the pilot where my angst, infrustration,

and concern is that we are war with Iran in the first place, not that a pilot was rescued,

but Pete Hexeth, Steve Whitkopf, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump, that they are so bloodthirsty

that they got us into the war, Laura.

That's why I'm mad.

That was a really good point.

And I think as to this Colby Hall piece, I think it's really important that the Republican

party is always like war, the party of individualism and of personal accountability.

And time and time again, they're not.

They're a party, they're a cult, they are cattle.

90 days ago, they opposed wars in the Middle East, regardless of what country it is.

And as it pertains to Laura Ingram bringing this down to a black and white tribal type thing,

this is their default setting.

It's always, the left is rooting against America.

The right is so pro-America.

Trump will dry hump an American flag, and that's why we like him.

We love President Trump because he loves America more than anybody else.

And every time they can bring it down to this black and white argument, it really works

well with the Fox News viewers who lack fundamentally the ability to critically think.

And call that stupidity, call it what you want, but they genuinely lack the ability

to critically think.

There are certain things that I love to do that bring me great joy, like getting a manicure,

playing tennis, but some things self-care feel like a total chore, like shaving.

All of that changed when I discovered Flamingo.

Flamingo was born when the women who helped build herries noticed the other companies selling

women's razors were just shrinking the men's razors down and making them pink.

They rolled their eyes and they decided to shake things up.

They created a shaving solution that's actually made with women's bodies in mind.

There's no pink tax with Flamingo, and a pink tax is when you're paying more just because

it's a women's product, it's not flimsy, there's no irritation, and it's quite attractive.

And their starter set has everything you could need, whether it's time for an everything

shower, or even if you just need to shape up below your brow line.

We have this whole kit, and it's just $7 in shipping you guys totally free.

So listener, for a limited time, our listeners can get the Flamingo's starter set for only

$7 at shopflamingo.com slash I hip.

This set includes the Flamingo original razor, one five blade cartridge, a one ounce foaming

shave gel, and a shower holder.

It's head to shopflamingo.com slash I hip to claim this offer.

And after you purchase, they'll ask where you heard about them.

Please support our show and tell them that we sent you.

And here's another screen grab from Media Matters reporting that former Fox hosts are calling

it out right wing media figures castigate Fox News for pushing quote blatant propaganda

on the Warren Iran, former Fox News and other right wing media figures have called out

the network for cheerleading Trump's war.

So Tucker Carlson called Fox quote, the world headquarters for boots on the ground.

And Megan Kelly called Fox's Iran war coverage inseparable.

So these are two people that were inside the death star.

They know what bullshit Fox is.

We all saw in the lawsuit that I mentioned earlier where Fox had to pay a billion dollars

in discovery.

They got all their text messages and Hannity and everybody's just trash and Trump about

what a nutty is, but you can't trust Tucker and you can't trust Megan.

And there's this saying a broken clock is right twice a day, right?

And I think that always applies to these people because Tucker Carlson I remember was super

critical of the whole Venezuela situation where they went and captured Maduro.

And he was very critical of it on his station.

And then like three or four days later, he's at the White House standing there clapping

like a trained seal for Donald Trump.

So you cannot believe these people.

And Megan Kelly, you know, she, you also, you cannot trust this person because here is

a video of Megan Kelly, who her quote is Fox, Ron War coverage is quote inseparable.

But at the same time, she also says shit like this, play the clip.

What could drop a nuke?

And I still vote Republican over those people because they want to have a new voter in

some ways.

I really am.

But honestly, they, what they want to do is nuke our own country.

You know, it's like the open border, what they're doing to children, all that stuff is

still they, they would do it all if put back in power.

And I, I think most Republicans know that, which is, okay, pumps.

She makes no sense.

She knows that's not going to happen.

But she gets makes hundreds of thousands of dollars going on there and tip towing into

sanity.

But then she has to, you know, throw red meat.

Here's the thing.

Trump dropping a nuke on a Ron as crazy as that sounds.

I would not rule this man has absolutely zero ability to look at consequences.

So Megan Kelly, what you need to be doing is rallying the people that listen to you.

To try to get their people in their districts to get real about the 25th amendment.

This made us a fucking nut.

Never happened, pumps.

I know.

It'll never fucking happen.

We cannot apply our logic to these people because what does she default to?

She defaults to Donald Trump is crazy and I agree.

And the Fox News coverage is insufferable.

But viewer, if he dropped a nuke, I'd still go vote for him because the Democrats want

a nuke America.

And it's like Megan Kelly.

No, we don't.

We want your viewers to have health care.

We want your viewers to earn a livable wage.

We want billionaires to pay their fair share and taxes because our country simply cannot

afford them.

We actually support the troops 30% of all homeless people are veterans.

Yeah.

And so you say you support the troops, support them in totality.

But in fact, you support the nuke and pun intended here, but you do not support the fallout.

Then you're going to play, you know, victim.

So this is a typical right wing media bullshit argument that they always play that yes,

Donald Trump's bat shit and he's so crazy and he's so dangerous and Fox News is a propaganda

machine.

But you know what?

We're going to vote for him all over again because we're fucking stupid.

That's the message.

All right.

That's all we have.
