State regime media known as Fox is growing more desperate by the minute as Donald Trump crashes, the economy crashes, the stock market as Donald Trump's approval plummets, Fox is crashing on air.

They've got to distract their viewers from the reality that Donald Trump is destroying everything. So what does state regime media do? Well, they say, look, we're all going to go extinct like the dinosaurs. This is an extinction level event. If Americans don't start having more babies, have more babies. That's what they were talking about all day yesterday. Play this clip. We're going to go extinct like the dinosaurs if we don't start making babies.

And this guy's putting me and you, not me and you. I'm saying not we, the royal we. I'm married. I'm sorry. Me too. Look, that's, well, in addition to saying that Americans need to have more babies, what they were also talking about on Jesse Waters and on other Fox programming is that they've discovered, they said, a super serial secret video

that they say shows the real killer of JFK, but they got to find it. So they're going to do a scavenger hunt, everybody. Woohoo, a scavenger hunt while they just deal with this ghoulish behavior and try to just spew a bunch of nonsense. Anna Paulina Luna, the MAGA Republican from Florida, is spending her time on this as the MAGA Republicans, Trump and Elon Musk, are going after our Social Security, our Medicaid, dismantling unions, and engaging in a hostile takeover of our government. Play this clip. I would like to actually tell the American people, it was made aware to me this evening that NBC actually has a video that's never been seen before.

We're actually going to be sending a letter requesting that from NBC because it allegedly shows Oswald near the vehicle when the assassination took place, which means that he couldn't have been the shooter. So again, we're tracking down all this information. So utterly, utterly pathetic. And as the world turns against the United States and as Donald Trump's attempt to bully Canada and Mexico and Europe and Australia with tariffs is backfiring in Donald Trump's face, as Canada said, we don't need you anymore and we're going to boycott you. As Europe's creating its own defense initiative where they're going to be building their own weapons and not participating with the United States.

If they've rallied to Zelensky's defense, America finds itself isolated, alone and weaker than ever. But state regime media known as Fox, they've got to spin this. They've got to give some narrative to their peeps watching it. So what has Jesse Waters said? He goes, no friends. We don't need friends. Friends are for losers. Here, play this clip. And being friendly to the world is what got us in this mess. We're not in high school. We don't need friends. Every country puts their interests first. And when our interests align, we can do business. And when they don't, that's life. If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland, we're big boys.

We dropped A-bombs on Japan, and now they're our top ally in the Pacific. We may have to burn a bridge to build a big, beautiful new one to the next generation. America is not handcuffed by history trump knows what we need that's the demented message coming out from fox we don't need friends we're going to go in extinct like the dinosaurs and there's a super secret scavenger hunt needed for the real jfk tape is what they're saying this while other countries are engaging in serious business like in Canada where their prime minister Mark Carney says goodbye United States so I wanted to show you this right after showing you what Jesse Waters said here's the prime minister of Canada Mark

Carney saying our relationship with America is over done that special relationship see you later this is exactly how you meet the moment. Play this clip. The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperations is over. What exactly the United States does next is unclear. But what is clear, what is clear, is that we, as Canadians, have agency.

We have power. We are masters in our own home. We can control our destiny. We can give ourselves much more than any foreign government, including the United States, can ever take away. We can deal with this crisis best by building our strength right here at home. It will take hard work. It will take steady and focused determination from governments, from businesses, from labor, from Canadians. We will need to dramatically reduce our reliance on the United States. We will need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere. And we will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven't seen in generations. I had to show you that after the ridiculous clownish buffoonery of Jesse Waters. Anywhere worth going is worth going in good boots. Find your perfect

Then, Anna Paulina Luna, speaking of clownish buffoonery, by the way, no offense to clowns, which is a legitimate

profession as opposed to whatever the hell MAGA Republicans are doing. Anna Polina Luna then goes on Jesse Waters and she's like, from what I gather, the people in Greenland really want to be part of the United States. She goes, I think it's overwhelming. Here, play this clip. If you're not growing, you're dying. And that's why Greenland is necessary. Do you have colleagues in the House that are against taking Greenland? No, I don't think so. Well, actually, I take that back. I think that there's been some murmurs of people that think that it might just be messaging. But I would actually argue from a strategic standpoint, Jesse, that that would actually be a great location for us, not to mention from what I gather, the people of Greenland are very much supportive of becoming potentially a

U.S. territory. And so I'm supportive of it. Why would we not want to expand our message and really have people that are for the America first and pro-American ideology? When we talked, well, let me give you the facts, Anna Paulina Luna, if that's even really your name. She's one of these George Santos types that have like a bunch of names and like who even knows who she really is. She was like a swimsuit model turned MAGA influencer. And she would dress with like machine guns and bathing suits. And that's how she rose through the Maga ranks. Yeah, it's idiocracy in real manifestations. Anna Paulina Luna, let me tell you the facts. It's like 90% of people in Greenland don't want

anything to do with the United States. But what are numbers? What are percentages to MAGA? Here on Fox, you have one of their hosts, Sandra Smith, tried to spin that the fact that the markets are down about 5.5%. She goes, that's not a crash. That's not a big number. And at least to the credit of one of the people on these shows, he's like, I think that is kind of a big number. By the way, I think that is a big number. Play this clip. The stock market, to Steve's point, since election day is almost flat. It's only down 2% since he was elected president again. And since inauguration day, it's down 5.5%. I mean, we're not talking about... That's a lot. 5.5% is a lot. Okay. All right.

Well, when we're talking about the market meltdown, I see these headlines out there. It's the last thing I want is a market meltdown. I'm not the one who challenged all of Trump's tariffs. I was equal with Steve. We both didn't like him. Okay. And that's still where you are. I think tariffs should be a blunt instrument that hits something like steel, something like tires, not across the board.

And very targeted. So just so you see where they're going with this, they're saying, oh, if your 401k is decreased by five and a half percent or more, a lot of people's 401k retirements have decreased by a lot more than that as well. But that's not a big deal. Really? Because I seem to recall when former President Biden was in office and we would get like record-breaking good numbers. Another jobs report out and the jobs exceeded expectations. Another day, the Dow Jones and the S&P and the Nasdaq close at record highs. Remember when those would be the way Fox would sign off? And then people like Larry Kudlow or the Sandra Smiths, they'd be like, but this did not meet the targets.

This was still below what we expect. Dear leader, Donald Trump will make it go much higher. Remember when they were trying to spin that crap on us when things were going good? And now when things are decreasing, that's not that bad. That's where you're going with it. That's not that bad. I know it's nice for you as a Fox host living in your mansions and doing all the rich people things. But, you know, you really are destroying people's lives.

You may want to actually speak to human beings. Maybe try that. By the way, here was the moment that Fox signed off after the markets closed. And here was the handoff to the Larry Kudlow show. Larry Kudlow runs one of the top Fox business shows. He used to work in the Trump administration and the first administration played this clip. So much woo, folks. This is a tough way to end the week if you're long the market. If you're long gold, you're happy. But Dow is losing about 724.

The S&P down 113. The NASDAQ down 484. That will do it for us. Hello, folks. Welcome to Kudlow. I'm Larry Kudlow. So markets crash over 700 points today after a bad inflation report more tariff confusion oh and by the way republicans really gonna raise taxes that

could have done it our own sandra smith taylor riggs and jerry wolves be right here on set to break it going back to what fox is messaging they've had el had Elon Musk and given him this massive like full hour or two day interview with Brett Baer. And here Elon Musk is asked, what's the biggest thing that keeps you up at night? He like pauses for 20 seconds and then he says the birth rate, more babies are needed. Play this clip. Finally, what's the biggest thing for you that keeps you up at night? Well, there's a lot of things, I suppose, that I worry about. And some of these things will seem esoteric to people. You know, the birth rate is very low in almost every country. And unless that changes, civilization will disappear. Then bring in Alina Haba, who was Donald Trump's very special advisor, who Donald Trump has now appointed as the interim United States attorney,

the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, even though she's like one of the worst lawyers ever. She'd like lost all of Trump's cases, was sanctioned over a million dollars. She was Donald Trump picked her to be the interim leader of the of all federal prosecutors in Jersey. And here she goes. Look, the bottom line is that Trump's approval is at all time highs right now. Play this clip. Yeah, that's 100 percent right. We have something called separation of powers for a reason. This is the executive branch. The president is working out of that to keep America safe. And I want to really understand the rationale between trying to keep criminals in our great nation that came in illegally and then committed crimes. I'm not understanding what power he thinks he has and

why that's in the best interest of this nation. But that's not his decision anyway. The decision is President Trump's. And we have to stop any kind of political enticed judges from making these decisions on the bench. And he's right. These TROs have to stop. What they're trying to do is stop the President Trump's agenda because he is skyrocketing right now. He is truly has so much approval. If you look at it, it's over 80 percent of Americans want illegal immigrants out. President Trump's approval rating is at an all time high of anyone. He had an 80 million person mandate on November 5th, and he is keeping true to his promises. These judges have no business coming in and trying to stop the Trump administration from pursuing their agenda, which was the America first agenda to keep us safe.

Illegals need to get out. Criminals need to get out. And that is what he's going to continue to do. And it's unfortunate that they're wasting taxpayer dollars yet again, trying to hold him up in court. It's literally at basically all time lows. Like he couldn't be doing a worse job. He couldn't be more despised. I think actually he could, he will be more despised and hated, but he's pretty freaking despised and hated right now when his approval's plummeting. And you just go on state regime media, right, like pink dress lady from North Korea, and you just spew this nonsense. Speaking of spewing nonsense, here you have MAGA Republican Representative Wesley Hunt, again, pushing

the lie that Greenland wants to be part of the USA. Play this clip. And a security deal, investment deal, a trade deal. We already have military base up there. I mean, President Trump is highlighting something that's very, very important, is he not? Of course he is. And the people of Greenland will get to decide whether or not they want to be a part of the U.S. Let me ask you a very simple question. Do you want to be a part of the greatest country in the world or do you want to be a part of the failed leadership from Denmark? And quite frankly, it's quite simple for me. I think it would be quite simple for them as well. But this is a strategic military piece of the world

that we obviously need to pay closer attention to. This is about not relinquishing power to the Chinese and the Russians and our other adversaries. So again, that's a very strategic piece of land for our country and the interest of America. This is actually part of a broader play for the president. I mean, this is about making Greenland great again, making the Panama Canal great again. This is about the Gulf of America. This is about making sure that the world knows

that leadership is back. Then you've got MAGA Republican Senator John Kennedy, not to be confused with what Anapolina Luna is doing. This is a guy who he like created this fake accent to, this is, go back and watch videos of this MAGA Republican Senator from Louisiana. He never used to talk like this. He never talked like,

he like made that voice as part of his shtick because all these MAGAs are, seriously, he made up the voice. But anyway, here he is doing his Foghog Leghorn impression. And here he is. And I've got a message for Musk. Maybe you do more press conferences. Play this clip. I want to make a general suggestion to Mr. Musk and the president. Number one, I think part of the problem is that Mr. Musk has not talked enough other than on Twitter and his team have not talked enough about what they've been doing and why they're doing it.

They need to hold a press conference every two weeks for the press and the American people to say, this is what we've done. This is what we found. This is Business, where they tried to build some conspiracy between NPR and Jeffrey Goldberg being invited by Pete Hegseth on the Signal chat by Mike Walls, the National Security Advisor, and somehow the NPR is involved in this. Play this clip uh what are the odds that katherine mayor the leftist npr ceo is on the board of signal as well she's she's a hard lefty too and you see some of the comments that she made about how she's so tired and done with quote-unquote late stage capitalism and president trump is uh racist and uh it america is addicted to white supremacy this is the ceo of npr and then oh i gotta show you

this one i gotta show you this one sorry one more elon musk as part of that interview with brett bair he does this thing where he goes the, the regime is going to go after you if you spread lies about Tesla. And he does watch what he does with his fingers. He makes like a gun motion. Play this clip. It's the people pushing the propaganda that that that caused that guy to do it. Those are the real villains here. And we're going to go after them. And the president's made it clear we're going to go after them. The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda, we're going after them. That was a gun motion right there. Should be noted, Fox News as well, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who's facing scrutiny over his handling

of details of the military strike, in other words, giving classified information. He brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed. We're learning that as well. Stupid is as stupid does. Dangerous is as dangerous does. Dangerously stupid, the Trump regime, with their propaganda state regime media known as Fox. Hit subscribe and let's get to 5 million subscribers. Thanks for watching.
