WEBVTT - Fox News: The MAGA Propaganda Machine

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>It is Thursday, the twentieth of March twenty twenty five.

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning we're going to talk about propaganda today.

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>It's insidious, it's immoral, and it's a lie. There is

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 1>no public institution in America that is more corrupt than

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Fox News. Now, let's start our examination of propaganda today

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:32.480
<v Speaker 1>with a still shot and close in. There's no evidence

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that there is organized activity by the Democratic Party, though

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>on this sewer network that has billed the administration, the

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>regime America's first regime, with its most vile personalities, now

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>its most vile cabinet members, ludicrous people, unfit, morally unfit,

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 1>intellectually unfit, common sensic given them great power. This vile

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>network is now declaring that the reaction that is spontaneous

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>that is taking place all over the world, all over America,

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the repudiation, the revulsion at Elon, must anti Semitic declarations,

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>his Nazi salute, his treatment of human beings, government employees

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>like insects, all of it has triggered a reaction. There

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>have been peaceful protests all over America, and there must

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>be more of them. The American people must blockade, must boycott,

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>must picket, every Tesla dealership that there is to be picketed,

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and they must do so on a continual basis, with

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the goal of driving the stock into the ground. Some

0:01:55.960 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of these dealerships have been targeted with arson with Now

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>this is immoral. Is violence undermines the legitimacy of a

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 1>growing and righteous opposition, and there is no place for

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it at any table where people of good faith come

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>together to oppose something that is deeply wrong. But let

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>us understand something. These acts of vandalism are local state

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>criminal activity. This is not domestic terrorism. This is not

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>an attack on the United States. This is an attack

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>on Tessa, and Tessa is not America. Tessa is Elon

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Musk's company. Elon Musk runs a private company and that

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>is his concern. The Attorney General of the United States.

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a corrupt woman named Pam Bondi has decided that

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>she wishes to treat a graffiti artist like Eric Rudolf,

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>like Timothy McVeigh, like Khalai Sheik Muhammad.

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>They're targeting Tesla dealerships. They're targeting Elon Musk, who is

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>out there trying to save our country, and it will

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 2>not be tolerated. We are coming after you. We will

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>find you. And if you are an organized group who

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>is funding this, we're going to find you too. You

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 2>better look out and you better stop it.

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>The Donald demonstrated a different type of propaganda with a

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>slow walking handhold with Laura Ingram, an elderly old fascist

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>escorting his young Ava Brown about the Oval Office, where

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>he regales her with what he declares to be a

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>declaration of Independence, glaudily put behind black drape that has

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>been locked away in a vault for decades, implying it's

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the real thing, which it's not. The real one hangs

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>in the National Archives, which is under assault and defunding

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>by this administration.

0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 3>So this is the declaration of Independence. Wow, And they

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>ask that this be done. It's never been up. It's

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 3>been in the vaults for many, many decades, and they

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 3>said we have to do something like drapes or up

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 3>because the light eventually affects it. And it's very cool.

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, they're great. Just what up yesterday? Wow?

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>This Declaration of Independence, A copy of it cheaply put

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>up in the Oval Office, the map in the middle

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>of it, turning an elegant space into a tawdry Trump

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Motel Lodge demonstrates one thing. Fox News serves a type

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of green jella, of loathsome ness, of idiocy to people

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>who when they see the map and it says Gulf

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of America, they cheer, and they cheer, and they will

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>keep cheering until they start crying when their social Security

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>checks don't come as their jobs disappear. As all of

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the lie, all of the smoke, all of the theater

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of the absurd, gives way to the devastating reality that

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>while you were laughing and being anesthetized and hypnotized, there

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>was a great theft going on. Have you seen Ice

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Barbie and the taxpayer costume Get Up and Adventure she's

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>been on all week? Let us appreciate in this moment

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 1>what is happening Fox News. This vile propaganda machine filled

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>now with cheap hustlers like Lutnik lie to the American people.

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 4>If you want to learn something on this show tonight

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:58.799
<v Speaker 4>by Tesla, it's unbelievable that this guy Stock is this cheap.

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 4>It'll never be this cheap again. When people understand the

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 4>things he's building, the robots he's building, the technology he's building,

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 4>people are going to be dreaming of today and Jesse

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 4>Waters and thinking, gosh, I should have bought Elon Musk's stock.

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, who wouldn't invest in Elon Musk?

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be kidnaped. This moment requires a rising in

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 1>defense of in favor of an in righteous indignation about

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the assault on our values, our ideals, our history, the

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>sacrifices made to defend liberty. Who will speak for what

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 1>was passed down to us for two hundred and fifty

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>years and is under open assault. Who can speak about

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion, Who

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>can speak about due process? Who can speak about the

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 1>sub blocks, equilibriums that maintain a freedom that has been

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>unlike any that has ever existed, and like sheep dulled

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>into numbness by screens and phones. We're to give this

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>away to Elon Musk, into Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer

0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't think anything's a mess. What's a miss is what's

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>broken in Washington, DC. It's a small city on the

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Potomac River, filled with cheap cons and hustlers and appeasers.

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Half the city has a knife to the country's throat,

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and the other half is laying on its back, letting

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>them do it. You shouldn't tolerate it. And if you do,

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>we will lose this country to the Trump fan. And

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that proves something, because any doubt that John McCain was

0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>right when he said, here in America, anything is possible.

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:06.520
