State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, is collapsing on air as the Midas Touch network has surface clips from Fox, from state regime media, which included Pete Hegsseth the day after the strikes on the fishing boat where the order was given to kill the survivors,

where Hegsith admits that he was watching the whole thing and he was the person overseeing the operation. Let me show you what Hegsitt said before doing that. A reminder, make sure you subscribe right now to this YouTube channel. if you like our fact-based reporting and how the Midas Touch Network comes with receipts. Here's what Hegson said. Play this clip.

So the president is sending a message to other cartels, right? A very clear one. I can tell you that was definitely not artificial intelligence. I watched it live. We knew exactly who was in that boat. We knew exactly what they were doing and we knew exactly who they represented. And that was Trenda-Ragway,

a narco-terrorist organization designated by the United States trying to poison out. our country with illicit drugs. So while Hegsseth and Trump are now trying to throw the Admiral and Seal Team 6 and others at the Department of Defense and United States military under the bus, we've got you on tape, Hegsyth. And so what was Fox doing now to try to cover up all of this?

Like how are they trying to distract? Well, they start talking about how Melania Trump is saving Christmas. I kid you not. like she says Merry Christmas again. Here play this clip. I'm so glad you brought up, you brought up spiritual because my points are sort of disparate, but they're connected under the umbrella that I see, you know, we are under spiritual warfare. And I see to your point about just following the Portland block with then seeing this, seeing the First Lady of the United States supporting our troops, saying Merry Christmas, and being constantly a prism of love

and light, which is what Jesus Christ is, which is what Judeo-Christianity, is, which is what this country is. And now we have a First Lady that fearlessly and undeniably stands for those values. She is beautiful inside and out. And everything she does and touches reflects that. I love... By the way, don't we have clips of Melania saying that she effing hates Christmas and she effing hates the... She's like, I effing hate it. I hate the ornaments. I hate this.

Words to that effect. Here's what she said. Here, play this clip. They say I'm complicit. I'm the same like him. I support him. I don't say enough. I don't do enough. No.

Where I am, I put the, I'm working like a ass, my ass. I know. Christmas stuff that, you know, who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decoration? But I need to do it, right? Yeah, but, correct, a hundred percent. You have no choice. And, okay. And then I do it.

And I say that I'm working on Christmas planning for the Christmas. And they said, oh, what about the children? were separated. Give me a break. Where they were saying anything when Obama did that. I know. I cannot go. I was trying to get the kid reunited with the mom. I didn't have a chance. It needs to go through the process and through the law. But here's my thing. You hear what you just said. But instead of that, if you just, you're messaging, you were so loved. They were not do the story. We put it out. They would not do the story. You would not believe it. They would not do the story because they are not, they would not do the story because they are against us

because they are liberal media. Yeah, if I go to Fox, they will do the story. I don't want to go to Fox. And then you have transportation, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, his wife is a Fox host. And And she's like, look, feminism, secularism, this is communism, and they're taking over. You see what they're doing here to try to distract and deflect? Here, play this clip. Christmas. And I think it's really up to us to reclaim our culture. We can sit and complain about it.

But when we give into those atheist groups that keep suing, we should come right back. This is our culture. I'm not going to let, you know, pro-Palestinian or whatever they're putting forward. These are all fronts for, you know, whenever you see any of these groups, just think feminism, secularism, just think communism. This is what they're really about. It's always been about communism, making the state the center, removing the power of religion and family from our culture.

And it's up to us to make sure that our culture remains what it is, which is a Western Christian culture with a beautiful history that we have in this country, and that we have to defend these things every single day. especially with our children. So without your nativity scenes, don't give in. Absolutely. And then you have people like this Maga Republican Congress member, John Rose. He shows up and he's like, but the economy's booming.

We're doing great. And next year it's going to get even better. Here, play this clip. Cost, the cost of living are coming down. This Thanksgiving was less expensive than last Thanksgiving. So we just have to have the patience to see these policies through to fruition. We're starting to see that happen. When we get to January 1st and we see many of the one big, beautiful law tax cuts start to come into play in a more real way for Americans. I think they're

going to start to see the real hit in their pocketbook. And we see wages up in a dramatic way for the first time in a generation and since the last time when Trump was in office. So I think the answer's on the way. So state regime media's reporters who were in the press briefing yesterday, they were just trying to like figure out how are they even going to deal with this? So you'll watch one of the Fox hosts right here saying you claim that the admiral ordering

the strikes on the survivors is lawful? Like, what law are you referring to? Here, play this clip. Jackie, thank you, Caroline. Following up on Gabe's question, you said that the follow-up strike was lawful. What law is it that allows no survivors? The strike conducted on September 2nd was conducted in self-defense to protect Americans in vital United States interests.

The strike was conducted in international waters and in accordance with the law of armed conflict. If you're like me, instead of learning to skateboard, you wish you were learning to write code.

And then that reporter asked another question, the Fox reporter, and she's like, so you know, you have all of these Republicans out there defending the strikes on narco terrorists. But then, purported narco-terrorists, and now you're pardoning a convicted drug trafficker who was one of the

ring leaders of the biggest narco-terrorist ring, the former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez. So don't you think this hurts Republicans? Here, play this clip. Conflict. And then on this pardon for the Honduran president, does it at all undercut the administration's messaging while you have these congressional Republicans defending the strikes on the narco-tebron? terrorists and then a partying for a convicted drug trafficker, does that make it more difficult for your members to defend your administration's policy?

I don't think so, Jackie. I think that President Trump has been quite clear in his defense of the United States homeland to stop these illegal narcotics from coming to our borders, whether that's by land or by sea. And he's also made it quite clear that he wants to correct the wrongs of the weaponized justice department under the previous administration. And Ouija, I'll call on you because I think we're wearing matching blazers today. Yeah, and again, just a reminder.

Let's take a look at what Maga Republican Senator Schmidt says on Fox as well. And he goes, what the language that we hear from these Democratic Congress members and senators who are talking about how you shouldn't follow unlawful orders. This isn't democracy.

he goes, this is the language of a color revolution. The Democrats are launching a revolution against us here, play this clip. One of the crazy things that happened over the weekend, the Democrats, elected Democrats, not some online troll, elected Democrats, have been saying, it's okay to disobey orders. That's the first step. But what we saw happen this weekend through some of those same elected officials was to say, basically, to military men and women, look out, you might get prosecuted. This is not the language of, we'll beat them in the next election or we'll win the argument.

This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders. And you put that on top of the firebombing of Tesla dealerships, the riots you see in the streets, the prosecution of a political opponent. The Democrats have completely lost the plot here. And the American people, I think, see that. But it's a very dangerous road to go down here to say you should be disobeying orders because we don't like Trump. And then more of Senator Schmidt on Fox right here saying the Democrats suffer from suicidal empathy. And empathy is bad. It's suicide. Here play this clip.

So first of all, talk to me about the Democrat pushback on this asylum pause, this potential pause. Yeah, I mean, this is what suicidal empathy really looks like. This is not an abstraction. This is a case now, two cases, where this. Open borders policy, no vetting under the auspices of humanitarian parole, which is what Joe Biden did to let tens of thousands of Afghanis in here, without any vetting, right? And earlier in the day, state regime media, which calls itself Fox brought on Mago Republican Congress member Carlos Jimenez. And he's just lying, look, look, what are we supposed to do here? I'm not sure why I'm doing that accent. It's not even close to what he sounds like.

But why do we as Magaroo? Why should we be doing any oversight? Look, Hegson said he had nothing to do with it. Donald Trump said he had nothing to do with it. Let's just believe them, right? What's our job? Your job in Congress is quite literally oversight. Here, play this clip right here.

Congressman, they're now growing calls for an oversight hearing and investigation. Your thoughts on this? Look, and it just seems all strange to me that you get the Democrats coming out with a video saying, you know, do not follow illegal orders, and then all of a sudden you get this, apparently these are anonymous kind of whistleblowers

as saying that something happened here. So, you know, I smell a rat here. I'm pretty sure that the Secretary of Defense had nothing to do with something like that. And it's just a way of, you know, distracting from what really happened in DC, you know, last week where you had the murder of one National Guardsman and then the wounding of another by, you know, an Afghan refugee. And so, and I think it's just a distraction. So I'm with the

president on this one. I don't believe the reports. I don't believe that Pete Higgs has said that. But going back to what it's all about, this is a strike on a, we're striking terrorists that are bringing poison into the United States. This poison has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. And then you have Maga Republican Congress member Scott Fitzgerald on state regime media, which calls itself Fox. And he's like, look, when it comes to invading Venezuela, when you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound. Don't ask questions. Just invade the place and bring the oil to American oil companies, please. Here, play this clip. The legality of all of this, that has been questioned about the president and the administration's

military operations off the coast of Venezuela. Yeah. If you're in for a penny, you're in for a pound on this, and we're in for a pound. The build-up is real. Members of Congress have been watching this. I know that there's some that have been briefed fully on where we're at in relation to not just Venezuela, but kind of the back and forth with the naval fleet being as highly concentrated as it is right now out of Caracas. you know, one of those individuals that I think President Trump could run circles around when it comes to negotiating. So I'm very hopeful that he's in a position now that the president's in a position to force the hand and that we see Maduro step down soon. I think that has been the goal since day one. And I hope it happens this week. Then you had Caroline Levitt say, And this is why mainstream legacy media and those without a spine

say that Trump's deportations have not gone far enough. Huh? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Here, play this clip. And so that's why when the mainstream legacy media

and those without a spine in our country say that President Trump's mass deportations have not gone far enough, President Trump says no, they haven't gone far enough because we must deport every illegal alien who Joe Biden allowed into this country. And not only do these people serve as a national security threat, they are also draining the resources of American taxpayers.

Look no further than the great state of Minnesota that has been run into the ground by Democrat leadership, Governor Walsh, who is completely incompetent, the Somali migration invasion of Minneapolis. Oh, and then you have Maga Republican Congress member Greg Murphy, saying the following about Maduro on state regime media. Let's play it. If you look at Venezuela, it was the gem of South America,

not 15 years ago, and now it's turned into an absolute debacle. That's the definition of socialism. I wish some of our Democratic colleagues would understand that. And you look, there is precedent for America going in and removing dictators. We did it in 1990 with Manuel Ortega and Panama. This fellow had a bounty on his head during the first Trump administration. The Biden administration increased the bounty, and now Trump, too, has increased the bounty again.

This man is no good for the Western Hemisphere and needs to be removed. Well, we do have certainly, like it's 25% of naval ships are there now. Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 6 million subscribers.
