State regime media known as Fox News is losing it on live TV. Apparently, they've never been punched back in the face the way California Governor Gavin Newsom is punching back on Donald Trump and them. They're losing it. Their guests are losing it. It's super weird. Here you have on Fox. They're like reading from like some of Gavin Newsom's like trolling posts.

And they bring in this MAGA Republican Congress member Kylie, who's like whining about redistricting in California when he was the one who's started it with the MAGA Republicans in Texas. Just watch this. Here play this clip. Congressman Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair, and Newsom says he rolled over for Trump. That's almost as bad as Jasmine Crockett calling him Governor Hot Wheels. You know, we asked for a statement and Newsom's office said something flippant like, you know, oh, you're so woke, he'll get over it. Abbott will get over it. Your response to that. You know, they go and play the victim so quickly on Fox the moment you punch back against these bullies.

The moment like Gavin Newsom starts posting to mock Donald Trump in that same format, they like go nuts on Fox. Let me show you what happens when they bring in Darrell Issa. Here's another example of that. A MAGA Republican Congress member, let's play it. Well, I mean, Governor Newsom fired off a Trump-style tweet yesterday saying this, Donald Trump, the lowest polling presidents in recent history. This is your second to last warning. The next one is the last one.

Stand down now, or California will counterstrike legally to destroy your illegal crooked maps in red states. Press conference coming, hosted by America's favorite governor, Gavin Newsom. Final warning next, you won't like it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Is he joking? Is this a joke?

Well, you know, the ultimate in false statement, Trump's low approval rating, it couldn't be higher. I know, but from a more practical standpoint, look, in some states, the voters have allowed politicians to draw their own line. In California, the voters made a decision that it was going to be done by an independent commission, and he's trying to override that so we can go back to having politicians draw lines for themselves. All right, we will leave it there. Congressman, great. They say Trump's polling can never be higher. It's quite literally like the lowest polling in

presidential history. And then they're like, is he kidding? How could he write that? He needs to hold himself to a higher moral standard. Why would he make social media posts like that? And talking about snowflakes, and he's got Maga Republican Senator, Mark Wayne Mullen, he brags about being a UFC fighter. But here, he says, I can't wear a seatbelt when I'm in Washington, D.C., because I'm so afraid of being in Washington, D.C., that I have to not wear a seatbelt, the case I need to run. Here, play this clip. And by the way, I'm not joking when I say this. I drive a in Washington, D.C. in my Jeep, and yes, I do drive myself. And I don't buckle up. And the reason why I don't buckle up, and people can say whatever they want to. They can raise their eyebrows at

me again is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry because I got a seatbelt around me. And I wear my seatbelt all the time. But in Washington, D.C., I do not because it is so prevalent of carjacking. And I don't want the same thing happened to me what's happened to a lot of people that work on the hill. All right, Mark Wayne. Mark Lane. Anyway, here you have Magor Republican gubernatorial candidate,

Steve Hilton, crying on Fox. Watch him just whine. Gavin Newsom started this. Gavin Newsom was the one who did it to me. Here, play this globe. Well, of course,

like everything else that Gavin Newsom touches, a disaster and a fake and a phony, because what he's saying there is a total lie. He's saying that his scheme to steal power back

from the people and write the, maps to suit Democrats is responding to Texas. That's not true at all. It's a complete lie. California started this. They've been rigging the districts in California for years. If we had fair representation in California, we'd have another 12 house seats for Republicans today. He's already stolen 12. He wants another six. It is all about his presidential ambition. And by the way, I'm just a bunch of whining. What are you talking? Like, it doesn't make up, they make up numbers, they make up everything, they whine.

And then you have Stephen Moran, who's on the short list to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve. He's someone who Trump just nominated to the Federal Reserve Board. He goes, the economy's on fire, everybody. We're just, we're crushing it. Isn't everybody rich? We've stopped inflation. Here, play this clip. Next, Fed, Governor.

What are your priorities? Thanks, Maria. Well, as you know, at the moment, excuse me, at the moment, my priorities are continuing to help the president and the rest of his team create the best, most vibrant, most booming economy in history. And I've got to say that's all going very well. You know, the economy is just on fire. Inflation is under control. The president has scored win after win after win with the one big beautiful bill, restructuring global trade, bringing in trillions of dollars of commitments. It's just been a tremendous string of successes. And I expect to continue like that.

Okay. We're talking about. What world do you live in? I think he had to vomit in his mouth there when he started because he knew that what he was about to regurgitate was a bunch of bulge, you know what? And then Will Kane on Fox attacking people in the Midas Touch Network, attacking Aaron Parnas. Watch Fox attack. Midas affiliate Aaron Parnas. Watch it. Well, it's not just championing illegal immigrants detained in New Jersey. There's a new trend on the left. And that's warning illegal immigrants about planned ice raids in Sanctuary. city. We have some breaking news right now. According to reports, ice raids are coming to Washington, D.C. tomorrow and Wednesday, especially those working for DoorDash are going to be subject to these

raids. Ice agents plan to initiate operations after breakfast hours and before dinner time. If you live in the DMV area, listen up. It got me thinking, when did Democrats and the left change their And they basically called for Parnas to be, like, criminally prosecuted. Also, they attacked Parnas yesterday with the clip that he, an interview he did recently. I think they're obsessed with Parnas. Let's bring in. How about we bring in, Aaron Barnas? He's got his own YouTube channel where he covers the disinformation that's out there.

He's covering the fight for our democracy and for our freedoms. Aaron, I showed you, I guess let's start up with their obsession with you. We might as well start there. they're attacking you for your reporting and a lot of times in tic-tok you're just you're reporting straight news here's what's happening here's what's going on that bugs them huh well ben they're afraid of the facts they're afraid of the truth and that's why they attack me but here's the thing if fox news is coming after me then i know i'm doing something right and i'm going to continue doing it because they don't want the truth to come out they don't want to know when people are going to be

deported and families are going to be separated they don't want the public to know when Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are chumming it up, literally smiling on a red carpet today. They don't want the public to know about these things. And I'm just giving the public the truth and they're mad about it. Aaron, let's talk about your fight back against this disinformation eco chamber and why it's so important. You started your own YouTube channel. You crush it on TikTok. Like nobody gets more views than you on your TikTok news. But you're on YouTube now. Talk about what people can expect there and why it's important that you're now on YouTube. Yeah, well, I'm super excited to be launching this YouTube channel with Midas Touch.

And the reason why I'm doing it is because there's so many more people here on YouTube that we need to reach with actual facts, with actual news, with the truth, but not just that. I'm excited to be launching a lot more longer form episodes, longer form interviews, sit down interviews with U.S. politicians, with world leaders, senior executives at big businesses and really just diving into what the mainstream media won't show you on a daily basis. You're not going to get an hour long of CNN opinions. You're going to get an hour of just straight facts, straight news, and you're going to be able to go on with your day. So I'm super excited to be bringing that to YouTube. When I show, though, the world that state regime media,

because that's what they are, Fox projects, and I do these segments, the reality is that to me, this should never have been a right versus left or a red versus blue. I mean, there's just an objective reality that is out there about what's happening with inflation, what's happening with our alliances abroad, what's happening in the economy here, how it's impacting people, and they're not telling, they're just not telling the story. And at some point, though, I mean, I'm not sure if you're seeing it, though, how long does it last before people like, yeah, but my factory just got shut down. I'm going to the grocery store. I'm not experiencing these things. What, what, what? How long do they have this grasp over

this audience that they've been brainwatching for so long? I don't think much longer. I mean, you just saw literally a couple weeks ago, a line cook in a Missouri waffle restaurant was arrested in that Missouri town, that farm town, it voted for Donald Trump for 80% of the vote in that town. And while the citizens of that town literally rebuked, like, came out and was like, again, against Donald Trump. They were super upset because they were like, well, we didn't vote for you to go arrest our local lime cook at this waffle restaurant. We voted for you to take out undocumented immigrants who are criminals who have been convicted of homicide, the worst of the worst. And that's just not happening. And Fox News can only do so much. I mean, they have their loyal four or five million people that watch them every day. But the country's a hell of a lot bigger than four or five million people. And every single time, something directly impacts these Republicans, on the ground, you're going to see the Fox News viewership continue to die, continue to fall apart. And that's why places like Midas Touch are exploding right now because people are leaving the mainstream and they're going to something new, something different. Aaron, where can people
