The MeidasTouch Podcast — Fox News Panics as Trump Crushes GOP Midterm Chances. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
state regime media, which calls itself Fox News was in crisis mode and they are predicting massive losses for mega Republicans in the midterms. Even state regime media Fox could not hide it. You have Laura Ingram, one of the biggest mega Trump propagandists. She says, we are in a lot of trouble, folks. There are a number of states that Republicans better get their act together. We're talking about losing Iowa folks. Yep, state regime media in panic mode on live TV. Let's play this clip. But I do think Ned's right that there's some of these states like Kansas and Mississippi that I will speak up on Iowa. Yes. Yeah. I think there are a number of states that Republicans better get better get their act together. I was one of them. That's what both of you. Thank you. Then one of the guests on this Laura Ingram propaganda show says, Republicans are whistling past
the graveyard. Laura, we think we're going to do fine. We are it. We're going to get wiped out in some of these seats that people think are safe. Senate seats. Democrats are surging ahead. By the way, did you all see the latest polling in Arkansas where the Democratic candidate is leading Tom Cotton Democrats can flip Arkansas blue, Texas blue, Michigan can stay blue. You've got Ohio going back to blue. I can name every other state, but you get the point right there. This is North Carolina, Florida. I can keep on going, but let's play this clip. And I think this is one thing that we're 10 weeks out from today from the midterms. I think Republicans are kind of whistling past the graveyard on some of these Senate seats that they thought were safe, whether it's South Carolina, whether it's Alaska, whether it's Iowa, whether it's Nebraska, Ohio. We got a kick in the gear over these next 10 weeks, or we're looking at not only losing the House, but losing the Senate as well. How many times have you and I talked about this, Ned? Where it's like, like,
which Paxton in Texas, I don't even see him campaigning at all. Is he campaigning? Like, I haven't seen much of his campaign. I mean, I guess he's hoping Trump and Neelon must save him, but he better get going in Texas. This is the thing that concerns me. I think there's a great deal of apathy with some of the candidates, but what concerns me even more, Laura, there's real apathy in the grassroots. I think some people are thinking we gave Republicans all the power in 24 House Senate White House. It really didn't fall through in some of these promises. The Senate's thumbing their nose at the base over the Save America Act, gases 410 a gallon. You know, they're not seeing a lot of things that they voted for. The Iran War is killing us. We're 10 weeks out. In the problem that we have is that Trump's base is mid to low prop. It's tough to give them out in a non-presidential year. So not only are we suffering on the issues, we're suffering on just a basic turnout. They're really low propensity voters, which means it's going to be hard to get them to the polls November 3rd unless we give them a real compelling cause to. How about not having socialism? That's a compelling reason. We don't want the border to reopen
because we just deported the highest number of illegal aliens in the history of the Trump administration this past month, the 50,000. That's not bad. And then on state regime media Fox, they're like, what the hell is Donald Trump doing with Canada? They're like, Trump's approval is 33% and getting lower. Prime Minister Carnies approval is 75%. Donald Trump can rant and rave like a lunatic and claim that Prime Minister Carnies not popular in Canada. Prime Minister Carnie is beloved in Canada. He's like one of the most popular leaders right now in the history of Canada. Donald Trump has the lowest approval at this point since Nixon and Nixon resigned. And so the state regime media Fox host here are saying Trump's got big, big issues and this trade war against Canada, the stupidest thing he could possibly do here play this clip. President went to true social saying I would never interfere with Canadian speaking French. In fact,
I have never even thought of doing such a stupid thing. This lie was made up by a weakened ineffective Prime Minister in an attempt to gain political support. At what point is it that Canada's politics are preventing this Leslie and that despite the fact that Chris says it's stepping on politically his own foot that this is the president pushing back on unfair practices? Well, look, if we're going to look at some of the things we don't like, whether it is the craziness with China, it comes to Canada, even just smaller things like Netflix penalties. You can do this without renaming lakes and you can do this without imposing tariffs, which do hit hurt, not just the Canadian consumer, the American consumer. But you know, Mark Carnie has a 75% approval rate. Donald Trump is at 33% approval rate. And what you said about tourism, Florida, they're now going into their third quarter down in tourism. And that's a red state, right? But if you talk and try stop taking my talking points, I was going to talk about Maine, it was going to talk about Michigan, let's talk about Iowa. 30% of its exports are to Canada. There are number one trading partner.
They're an ally with the fires Afghanistan, the list goes on. They've been there and have helped us. We shouldn't be having this type of fight. You can have a conversation without doing this. And by the way, I have a t-shirt that says it's still the Gulf of Mexico. I guess I got to get one for the lake now. And maybe so, maybe so. All right. And then state regime media had a guest on who pushed back forcefully against the weird state regime media distraction operation where they talk about that former NBA player, Ennis Cantor Freedom, who showed up at the WNBA match. And he's like, I'm a woman everybody. And he started like mocking the women WNBA players. And he's made himself like the central figure in this like bizarre narrative. I'm protecting women. I'm protecting women by going into the WNBA stadium and mocking the women players and behaving like an absolute psychopath. I mean, what the hell are you doing? But I'll tell you what, this guest on state regime media fox said it better than me play this clip. Why are we intellectualizing or trying to
intellectualize this publicity stunt? It's pathetic. It's ridiculous. What are these guys even trying to do? I really don't get it. They're trying to play by the WNBAs. That's right. Come on, guys. It's posing the nonsense. It's silly. You have a policy that you can't say what a woman is. Oh my god. But you have two men that are trying to push back against that. And they're the ones that are being silly. No, it's exhausting. If they wanted this guy, whatever's name is, wants to be big willy, he should support and fight for bigger salaries for female athletes and for the coaches. So, well, I don't what it actually exhausting for a lot of people is men taking over women's sport. And then in yet another stunning moment on state regime media fox, they revealed that JP Morgan is predicting that as a result of Donald Trump's failed policies, the United States and the rest of the world could be thrust into a global food crisis because of Trump's catastrophic war in Iran and his other international failures play this clip. Look about another concern. Corn, soybean,
wheat conditions are all deteriorating. And JP Morgan is warning of a potential global food crisis. Could this be the beginning of that Scott? Well, they say it is. They'll make the argument that we're already starting that. We've had some trouble this year with our crops. So, Mother Nature has not been complying as well. It's not a disaster by any means, but it's not what we thought we were going to be getting. But the real key here for the first time in a long time, Ashley, the fact that we've got a problem with logistics. So, weather is taking a back seat. Logistics around the world has slowed up. I mean, we've heard about the straits of war moves, but we've got another issue in the Black Sea and the Sea of Az-Aub with the Kirch straits. And we've got problems there with beaten. Both of them have problems with fertilizer. And when we don't put down as much fertilizer, yes, what happens to yields. So, this is a cascading effect. So, this is a logistics issue. It's a weather issue, geopolitical issue. And they're all kind of stacking up, unfortunately, for the perfect storm, where JP Morgan sees food inflation at 5%
next year. So, that's not good. That could be a problem if we get any real big hiccups with Mother Nature. And if you're saying, Ben, can it get any weirder than this? Am I in the twilight zone watching this video? I'll say, actually, you then had Jesse Waters saying, Abdul Al-Sahed is a compelling individual, a guy's guy. He said, I like him. Meanwhile, Al-Sahed's opponent, Rogers, is too scared to show up on state regime media fox here. Play this clip. In this case, I thought the interview was fine. He was, I thought it was compelling. He's a confident guy, kind of a guy's guy, but I don't trust him. You know, I like him. I don't want to like him. I like him for some stupid reason, but he's not right for Michigan. And Jesse Waters throughout the evening again, Jesse Waters is a vile human being. He's one of state regime media foxes, biggest propaganda. His mom's a minus touch fan, though, shout out to her. But Jesse, and she knows
that this is some bizarre act by her son, Jesse Waters. But he's making a lot of money doing the act, I suppose. And then remember, she warned him the first day. She's like, Jesse, don't be a propagandist, conspirator. I know she's watching this video, she's watching this video. Anyway, Jesse's like, I actually like Abdul here. Play this clip. I actually like Abdul. I probably shouldn't like him, but I do. I think it'd be a terrible senator. And he's a little bit of a lunatic, but at least he's not your typical stiff. Ha-keem talked to Kushner because he wanted to help the country. Abdul talked to me because he wanted to help Michigan and himself. And we all learned something that I'm circumcised. I'm pretty sure everyone has had that moment where the car starts making a noise. It definitely wasn't making yesterday. And immediately you start to think, so how much is this going to cost me? I'm in the car constantly, including with my family. The idea of getting stranded somewhere and then getting slammed with a huge repair bill is not exactly appealing. That's why I love what

That's M-E-I-D-A-S. More from Jesse Waters over here saying, I guess because of my interview with Abdul Al-Sahead, everybody knows that I'm circumcised right now here. Play this clip. Well, I guess everybody now knows I'm circumcised. Nothing left to say, I guess. Running that down. Usually you look at the headlines and if your headline is all about your penis, usually you've done something very wrong. In this case, I thought the interview was fine. And you may recall that you had Jesse Waters bringing up general mutilation and bringing up all these fox hosts continue just to talk about like penises and vaginas all the time and they misconstrued the issue. That's how they phrase everything. And so Abdul Al-Sahead is like, okay, you want to talk about circumcision. What the hell are you even talking about?
Abdul Al-Sahead's point is like, what are we even talking about here? I'm being elected to be the senator of Michigan. And I'm trying to focus on the issues that people in Michigan are facing. And you want to talk about like WNBA. You also want the government to be the general police. You want government, what are you saying? You want big government to make to inspect people? I mean, what's the magna position here? You're playing this clip. We've decided he's just weird. They say sex sells, but this guy seems just obsessed with it. Are you circumcised? Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that's okay. First little question. Okay, doctor, you probably should want to move on. You probably should want to move on. A circumcision is different than castration. Then Sean Hannity continues to, that was Hannity over there, more from Hannity over here, saying one of the issues that seems to be, that brings all the Democrats together
is a dangerous obsession with trans kids. But do you see what I want you to see the state regime tactic here? This is all they talk about on Fox. And then they bring on a guest and that's all they want to talk about. And then if you push back a little bit like, oh my god, why are you saying these things? Because all this is all you talk about. If you watched Fox, all you would think the biggest issue is something about NS canter freedom and WNBA and Sophie Cunningham and that there are all these transgender women in the WNBA. There's zero. There's quite literally, there's never been a transgender woman in WNBA. And I'll tell you what there's a lot of right now in the United States. Broke people. I'll tell you what there's a lot of right now in the United States. People who are suffering right now, who can't afford gas, who can't afford diesel, who have lost their jobs, who can't afford rent, who can't afford a home, who have had their healthcare ripped away. That's what you want to talk about. Real things that are impacting the
American people. So stop freaking bullying the transgender communities. Just stop bullying the community. These are human beings, dammit. Stop making up fake issues. But you know, they don't want to talk about what's happening in real life because that's an acknowledgement of what I shared with you at the beginning that Donald Trump's policies have been absolutely catastrophic. So here is Hannityville. Let's play it. And tonight, one of the issues that seems to bring almost all Democrats together is a dangerous obsession with trans kids. And then more from Hannity talking about dingolings or something, you're playing this clip. You know, when I started it in this business, um, in my mid to late 20s, I never thought this would be talking about dingolings. I just, it was unfathomable. Um, it's kind of sick and getting sicker every day. And then Dana Prin was like, I do want Abdul L. Sian to come on again. So we can really ask him more questions about windmills. And if he thinks Ennis Cantor freedom should play in the WM,
she's not joking, by the way. This is, she's being, this is what they want to talk about there. What they don't want to talk about is how most American people right now don't know how they're going to pay rent to that next month. Or they open up their fridge here and they go, can I, is there anything going to be left in my fridge? Am I going to have to not go to the doctor? How am I going to make my kid food for lunch when these, and the government's taken away lunch from my kid? And, and they said that my kids involved in waste brought an abuse and they've taken away programs that help my kid get lunch here. Play this clip. It is going to be the Senate race to watch. I do hope that he comes back because Lake Michigan, I want to hear more about windmills. Yeah. Unlike Michigan, I want to hear about getting rid of the second amendment. And I want to know if he thinks NS Cantor Freedom should play for the WMBA. And then you have this, uh, Wheel Cain show and he brings on Jamie Harrison. And then he starts to
ask Jamie Harrison all of these questions. And they want to like ask like WNBA and what do you think about the DSA? What do you think about Sophie Cunningham? What do you, where you like, uh, should transgender women be playing in the WMBA? Or like, what do you think about those, uh, whoa, that's a good question. I just shut up. No one cares about this stuff. Okay, you know what we do care about treating human beings with dignity, treating the transgender community in all different communities as human beings, dammit, because they are human beings. Empathetic, stop this weird obsession. All these mega Republicans wake up and they think about transgender people all the like, what do you think? Why don't you, why don't you mind your own business? And I'm just like, why don't you mind your own business? And why don't you just, you know, let's keep government out of it and focus on, you know, focus on you, focus on you and stop being so freaking mean here. Play this clip. You invite somebody to come on your show to talk about the South Carolina
Republic in primary and you don't even talk about the South Carolina Republic in primary. This is the reason why you guys are just, no, no, there's no, there's no, there's no reason. Don't invite me to come on your show to talk about, listen, Jamie, don't invite me to come on your show about the South Carolina Republic in primary and you spend all your time on the USA. Listen to me for a second. Listen to me for a second. All right, I'm going to have to cut you off, Jamie. I'm about to tell you if my staff told you that we were talking, Jamie, you can't hear me while you're talking. If my staff told you we were talking about, well, we're in Republican, Republican primary, then I apologize. I was under no pretense that I'd be talking to you day about a Republican primary. I don't know why I would book a former Democratic, I don't have to cut you off. We're talking the same time it does. Nobody is service, not you, not me or not the audience, but I would never be interested in hearing from a former DN teacher. Thank you, Jamie Harrison. I appreciate the time. I would hope for us to go better in the
future. I would never book the former head of the DNC to talk about a Republican primary. What expertise or insight could I possibly hope? But while the Democrat Party goes through a fundamental transformation, whether it's, yes, I'll get cursed there over there for a second. And then finally, you have the Maga Republic Incident candidate in California, um, whining about, oh, they're going to ballot harvest in California. I'm going to lose because of the ballot harvesting. Do just again, just shut up, stop whining. Just address the issues that people care about are concerned about. You freaking loser. Here, play this clip. Exactly. I mean, look, she should have come here because listen to the language there in court, which was depositing absentee ballots, not belonging to you. That's legal in California. It's called ballot harvesting. It's the law. It happens the whole time. It's well documented. You got unions running around collecting ballots and nursing homes. You saw it filmed on Skid Row. I mean, this is what they've done. And people
call it cheating and all the rest of it. It's been legalized. You have legalized cheating and corruption. Anyway, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to seven million subscribers. Sorry, I cursed before. I don't use it. Oh, curses came out. Let's get to seven million subscribers.
