What this episode is about

Democratic leaders, including Congress member Alen Clauss and Senator Warner, exposed and challenged Fox News hosts on live television, critiquing the network's alignment with the Trump administration and its portrayal of current issues. This confrontation highlighted tactics used by authoritarian regimes, drawing parallels between the rhetoric of Fox News and the actions of leaders like Hungary's Viktor Orban, particularly regarding the misuse of serious issues like sex trafficking to deflect criticism.

Key takeaways

  • Fox News just got schooled in a truth-off; Congressional smackdowns aren't just for the ring anymore.
  • Claiming to fight sex trafficking while enabling it is the authoritarian playbook; just ask Viktor Orban.
  • When ICE becomes an instrument of fear, accountability shifts – it’s a dangerous game for democracy.
  • Alen Clauss reminds us: even with a badge, you can't license injustice; bad judgment isn't a free pass.
  • Corbin Trent’s fiery retorts reveal a simple truth: in America, the government shouldn't get a free shot.

State regime media, which calls itself Fox News, was just schooled on live TV by different Democratic leaders. Democratic Congress member Alenclaus, Democratic Senator Warner, you had a guest who keeps on schooling Fox host by the name of Corbin Trent, and he was a former AOC aid, and he's been just crushing these Fox hosts. So these state regime media hosts didn't know what to do as these Democrats essentially hijacked Fox and exposed what Fox and Trump and the entire MAGA crew was really trying to do to inflict pain on this country and showed how pathetic they were. So then state regime media responds by attacking the beloved children's uh star Miss Rachel. Then they bring on Christy Gnome who says, "Look, the reason that we're really surging thousands of ICE troops and Border Patrol troops, the Gestapo, the SS in Minneapolis, is because we're trying to stop sex trafficking." And that's what this is about. The Trump

regime's effort to stop sex trafficking. Y'all are covering up the Epstein files. Y'all are all involved in covering up a child sex trafficking ring. So that's what the Trump regime is saying. It should be noted that this is a typical authoritarian tactic. Use something that truly is the most despicable thing and claim that you're the people fighting for it when indeed you're the people who are actually covering up. Same thing in Hungary right now with Victor Orban's authoritarian regime. They promised they would go after the sex traffickers, but then it turned out that in their uh prison system, they were basically utilizing it, the Orban regime, in order to engage in sex trafficking of minors.

And there have been massive protests in Budapest about that. And Trump loves Orban. These authoritarians have very similar traits. We'll just leave it at that. So, let's take a look. has Democratic Congress member Alen Clauss schools Peter Ducey on live TV. Watch this go down. Alen Clauss is a brilliant play this clip. So, you are putting all the onus on the ICE officer. What about on Renee? Good. She's behind the wheel of a vehicle. I've been pulled over by a car. I assume that uh by a cop rather. I assume that if I start to drive forward, uh, I might that that that's against the law and they might take action to stop me. Is that completely off base? This is entirely the fault of the ICE officer. I

put put more plainly to be clear. So, Peter, what you're saying is, just so I can understand, what you were saying is if you get pulled over on the side of a highway, for example, and you know, the officer grabs your door and attempts to prize it open and is filming you with another officer on the other side of the car, and your car moves forward away from the officers, you think your family would be okay if you then got shot in the face three times?

No, but I would think that I'm disobeying a law enforcement officer who's giving me an order uh while they pull me over for something. I I think the point here, the question is, isn't there a better way for progressives who are upset with ICE policy to protest than getting up in their grill possibly from behind the wheel of a cart? Would you agree that that is not the best way?

Again, Peter, you're victim blaming here. Not victim blaming no law enforcement officer.

No, no, no, Congressman. No law enforcement officer is victim. Nobody is victim blaming. I

about 2 minutes ago I heard Director Lion say that the civilian was at fault for being involved in that operation. Let's be clear here. You have a badge, you have a gun, you are wearing a mask. You are accountable for everything that happens or fails to happen in that operation. No law enforcement officer should be accosted or harassed or assaulted and there should be penalties of law for so doing. And no US citizen should be afraid of their own government. And that is what ICE has created. They have stopped being an arm of the law and they have started being an instrument of fear. So

then Democratic Congress member Alen Clauss again, as I said, they're basically hijacking Fox and delivering the truth. It's amazing. Play this clip. She did not uh make every effort possible to avoid the ICE officer who was standing in front of the car. Are you saying that a car cannot be used as a weapon? Of course, a car can be used as a weapon. What I am saying is when you have a badge and a gun and you are interacting with a US citizen who has committed no crime, the burnest the the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment and to use that weapon only as an absolute last resort.

And nobody watching that video will buy the argument from that ICE agent that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face three times. What? Here's Corbin Trent, former AOC communications director, and this guy is just destroying these Fox hosts. Watch it go down. It is a beautiful thing to see. Play this clip.

Uh, you So, what's funny to me is when is violence, when is protest, when is this all acceptable?

But isn't that isn't that the same though? Where's the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? I mean, I don't see anybody in Colombia. Well, they're doing those today and it's it's called the ICE protests.

Well, but they talking Iran at the ICE protest. No, I think they're talking about the regime that's shooting people in the face. I mean, I think it's a very American idea to not want police forces to be able to shoot Americans indiscriminately. And the idea that JD Vance says is that they should have absolute immunity. You know, I thought this guy was a hillbilly. He had a book hillbilly. And I can tell you hillbilly values, at least from where I'm from in Appalachia, are that the government ought not be able to have absolute immunity when they shoot you in the face. But maybe we came from a different Appalachia.

Okay, Corbin. Then you have Democratic Senator Mark Warner. Here's what he has to say. Play this clip.

Action on US troops. I want to get uh your reaction to this. The president said that cartels are running Mexico. He suggested that land strikes on cartels in Mexico could be coming soon. And the Mexican president Claudia Shinbomb has called for increased communication between the US and Mexico. Is there any justification for land strikes on cartels in Mexico?

The drug cartels are awful. We need to use lots of tools. But the idea that we are going to take a military strike against Mexico. Um remember we may not like the Mexican or the president may not like President Shin Bomb. said nice things about her, but she was elected by the Mexican people, do we really are we going to continue to strike out against any leader around the world that uh Donald Trump doesn't like? I mean, if Donald Trump wants to make a case about striking Mexico, he should take it to the American people and to the Congress and ask for some kind of declaration.

Um, but arbitrarily, again, I point out the fact that he's used American military to strike six countries in less than a year. I think the people hired Donald Trump because he said he wanted to end these countless foreign wars. It seems like he's potentially starting more and and even some of the countries you're talking about, Greenland now, which is part of Denmark, is a NATO ally. Is he going to literally blow up our NATO alliance to go after Greenland where we already have a treaty that allows us to do virtually anything we want? I just don't understand what his policy is. And if the only check on the president, and this is what he said to the New York Times, his only check on his international power is his own morality, that's not the way our system is supposed to work. Jackie,

well, I want to ask you about more from Senator Warner right here. And he's just telling the truth. He's like, look, we recognize that these dictators are bad and horrible people. Absolutely. The question is is does the United States need to be going into wars over every dictator out there? And if that's going to be the position of the United States, well, shouldn't you get congressional authorization? And shouldn't you speak to the American people about your wars? that will result in American boots on the ground and Americans potentially dying and can be incredibly costly as Americans can't afford basic things. As Americans can't afford groceries, as Americans can't afford health care, as Americans can't afford a home, as Americans are psychologically tortured, living paycheck to paycheck if they're lucky enough to get a paycheck. While Donald Trump's out there saying a hundred billion dollars is going to go to the

oil companies for Venezuela, $40 billion is going to go to Argentina. $1.5 trillion for the military budget. $300 billion goes to the ISA and the Border Patrol Gestapo. No, we don't want any of that. We want health care. We want affordable housing. We want education. Take a look at Mark Warner schooling. The Fox host play this clip.

Back for a moment, Jackie. In less than a year, President Trump has used American military to attack Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela. We've got 20% of our fleet off the coast of Venezuela maintaining a blockade. Uh, and our military did remarkable in Venezuela. He's now threatening Colombia, Greenland, and other nations. Um, you know, I'm against the bad guys around the world, but I'm not sure that America trying to be the policeman for the whole world is why Americans hire Donald Trump to be president.

Let's face it, after a night with drinks, I don't bounce back the next day like I used to. I have to make a choice. I can either have a great night or a great next day. That is until I found pre-alcohol. Ziotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking.

Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you'll feel your best tomorrow. Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day. Even after a night out, I can confidently plan on having a great next day without worrying. Ready to try it?

Democrats delivered some knockout punches right there. Tell me what you think about that. So then the Fox host spent the rest of the day doing two things. One, attacking Miss Rachel. Yes, the beloved child star, Miss or Star for Children. I I know as a father of a 16-month-old, they absolutely love M. Miss. Rachel is a lifesaver, and Miss Rachel's very talented. So, Fox attacks her. And then Fox also spends the day uplifting Christy Gnome and Tom Hman's claim about, oh, this is actually about going after the sex traffickers. Just do you see their propaganda tactics? I just want you to be able to identify. So, here's a Fox host saying, "I don't know who Miss Rachel is, and I don't like her." Who doesn't like Miss Rachel? Who

else don't you like? Barney. Here, play this clip. I mean, right. It's it's it's sort of on brand, isn't it? This this alliance.

Uh, I don't know who Miss Rachel is. My kids are old enough, but she seems annoying. And I don't know that she is anti-Semitic. But if she's sitting next to mom Donnie and they're like doing little hand gestures together since he's anti-Semitic, I would just assume she is as well because Misery loves company.

And then just so you see, it's not like a fluke. You're not like, Ben, come on. Were they really talking about that all day? Yes. Here's Tommy Lahren again attacking Miss Rachel. Play this clip.

But I What a time to open a child care center, right? More ling centers. If there's anything we've learned from N Charlie is we need more child care centers with no children. more daycarees with no children, more medical non-emergency transport programs with no people. I mean, of all the times to announce you're going to put more funding into something like this, now is an incredible time. And I just got to say with this Miss Rachel person, it just immediately creeps me out when you have adults that dress like children and behave that way. If you're a parent that has your children watching this, maybe second guess it for reasons of being creepy and also some of her political leanings a little problematic. And now what pissed them off about Miss Rachel?

Well, anyone who brings joy and love and empathy and inclusiveness they hate. And then Miss Rachel uh was with Zoran Mdani, New York City mayor who we had here on the Midas Dutch Network recently gave a great interview and watch what they were doing. Th this pissed-off state regime here, play this clip. Wah wah wah all through the town.

All right. So then Fox also pivots. Bring in Lindsey Graham and let's get Lindsey Graham the ultimate Trump bootlicker and also potentially just leave it at that. Bootlicker. I'll just say that. Here's here's Lindsey Graham saying, "Oh, Donald, you're like Ronald Reagan. Donald, you're like Ronald Reagan here. Play this clip.

I have faith in you, Mr. President. I have trust in you. You are the Ronald Reagan plus of our time in this in this will stand with the people, Mr. President.

Then you have uh Christine and here's what she has to say here. Play this clip. I'll I'll remind everyone, Maria, that every single thing that I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Minneapolis, what's been going on in Minnesota, and with the incident that we had where we had a tragic loss of life. Uh, these law enforcement officers are trained to be in situations that are dangerous, and they rely on that training each and every day to make the right decisions. And that's what I'm so grateful for is that we have professionals that stepped up and took an oath to serve this country. The American people support them in that.

It's uh really really horrific that we have elected officials that are using this as an opportunity to divide, using this to promote an agenda uh that fundamentally would take away our freedoms and our liberties in this country.

And here's where Christine talks about, oh, what we're really doing here is going after the sex traffickers in Minneapolis. So why would you want to stop us when we're going after the sex traffickers? Let's play this clip. Then I want to discuss this here. Play this clip,

Maria. We've surged HSI officers there specific to focus on sex trafficking and child trafficking. It's so prevalent in Minnesota. It's horrific. And we brought dozens and dozens of those individuals to justice already. We're going to keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those children. Every day we get another individual that was sexual assault against a child, sodomy against a child. I can't believe that the mayor and the governor can defend allowing those people to go out there and victimize more of our more of our children and grandchildren.

Now, this is a tactic of sociopaths and this is a tactic of malignant narcissists and just truly evil people, right? We know the Trump regime is involved in a cover up of a massive sex trafficking ring. Like, we know they're covering up the Epstein files, okay? We know they're not going after the sex traffickers. We know they're overwhelmingly ICE and Border Patrol are going after people who work in restaurants roofers construction workers, farmers, people in restaurants, uh people in Home Depot parking lots looking for a good day's work, people who have been here for a long time who show up to court, uh people are seeking asylum. Like, we know, we've seen it. We know, we're aware that the Trump saying we're going after the criminals, we know that's BS. We all support if you want to arrest or ensure that criminals are deported or brought to justice. We all agree with that. That's not what this

Trump regime is doing. But they go and they find the most vulnerable groups of people and they act like, "Oh, we're here just to help the victims of sex trafficking." That's not what you're doing. Y'all are starting with the pretext of attacking the entire Somali community and saying all Somalians are bad. That's your latest boogeyman. In 2024, it was the Haitians. So, you said, "We're eating cats and dogs." And there seems to be a commonality of who you pick as your bad guys. So, first you started there and then you used it as a pretext to terrorize the community. You killed Renee Nicole Good. Say her name, Renee Nicole. Good. You killed her in cold blood and now you're out there terrorizing Minneapolis because they are a blue city, a city of love and empathy, a state of love and inclusiveness. And so you've surge 3,000 ICE Gustapo to terrorize that community to also try to send a message to other blue states and

blue cities to be afraid to live in terror of a terroristic regime. We know what that's what this is all about. So then Tom Hman goes out and just says it. Tom Hman goes, "There will be more bloodshed unless you stop your hateful rhetoric." Hateful rhetoric. People's have a first amendment right to speak out against the terrorism by you, Homeman, by Gnome, by by all of these ICE and uh and Border Patrol Gustapo. And so you're saying the you blood will be shed if people utilize their first amendment. I don't care what political party you're from. You should be against this. This is the most anti-American stuff I've ever heard. Here, play this clip right here.

Fox is told that about a thousand more Border Patrol agents are going to be heading there to assist, basically free up HSI officers. Um, there's also this growing network of local residents who are tracking ice movements and warning people about them and schools in the area are being given the option of remote learning for the next month because of how hot the environment is getting. Yeah. Are you concerned about what we're heading toward? And what do you say to those officials like Mayor Frey who's accused the administration of just looking for an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act?

That's ridiculous. Bottom line is they don't have to shut the schools down. They can't give me one example where ISIS walked into an elementary school or church or hospital. It's ridiculous. And all this false narrative that they're pushing is just going to double down on the hate against ICE. For instance, calling in a murder that the mayor calling it murder. The hateful rhetoric has caused a lot of this violence. I said way back in March, if the hateful rhetoric doesn't decrease, there will be bloodshed. Unfortunately, I was right.

And it's not over. There will be more bloodshed unless we decrease the hateful rhetoric. To compare this officer to a murder, are you kidding me? Threats against ICE officer uh actual attacks are up 1300%. A lot of this based on the hateful rating from people who don't understand what's going on and don't want to face the facts. And speaking of the most anti-American stuff, then you have Tom Emmer, another Trump bootlicker, a maggaant. This guy's from Minnesota and he hates his state. It's obvious that he hates a state. He'd rather be at Club Mara Lago, whatever the hell they call Club Rose Garden, whatever, whatever, wherever these people fester. And here he's like, we need to find out who's behind these protests. Who's behind this rhetoric?

They're the ones responsible. No, who's responsible is the Trump regime. Is people like you, Emmer, people who are terrorizing our communities here in the United States. Play this clip. Uh what can Republicans in Congress do to find out who is fermenting all of this violence?

Well, it's uh Charlie, it's it's sad that Minnesota is in the news for this. But I don't know that we have to do much more. All you got to do is watch. Uh you've got Tim Walls literally sounding like Jefferson Davis. Our governor is saying, you know, we're at war with the federal government. He claims that he can call the National Guard out. You know, they want to tell people to go ahead and protest, but what they're literally doing is encouraging more violence. Well, there you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Hit subscribe.
