Fox Host CUTS THE FEED After TRUMP HUMILIATION

Donald Trump’s rally in Fort Myers, Florida, was widely criticized for its absurdity and lack of substance, prompting Fox News to cut away from the event. The speech featured numerous factual inaccuracies, including false claims about economic prosperity and inflated income levels, with no visible audience engagement. Trump proposed renaming New Mexico to "New America" — a move with no legal or practical foundation — and made misleading statements about foreign policy, including threatening a military stopover in Cuba and falsely claiming to have settled wars. He also made a questionable joke about Kamala Harris’s last name and mocked Joe Biden’s alleged inaction on border issues. A key moment involved a baseless demand for Congresswoman Ilhan Omar to resign over a fabricated name issue, sparking cheers from supporters who appear to view political persecution as entertainment. The audience displayed visible confusion and disengagement, with some individuals picking their noses or appearing distracted. Even Fox News, typically a staunch Trump ally, acknowledged the rally’s poor quality, indicating a growing public disconnect with Trump’s rhetoric. The event highlights not only the incoherence of Trump’s messaging but also the troubling normalization of political aggression, authoritarianism, and empty spectacle in American politics.

So earlier today, Donald Trump was in Fort Myers, Florida, campaigning for the Republican candidate for governor in the state, Byron Donalds, and also just Republicans, generally, and the rally was so bad and so boring that even Fox News cut away from the rally to cover something else. Fox News, who loves Donald Trump, they love airing his rallies. Even they were like, we got to get this guy off the air. So I want to show you some clips from what he said today. Of course, it's all absolutely ridiculous. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment, let me know what you think about the story. Your support means the absolute world to me in the time of insanity every single day, our community that we've built keeps me sane. And I really, really mean that. So let's get into the rally. And I think we have to start with what took place before the rally. A Fox News reporter went up to some voters in the line to get into the venue and she asked them like, hey, what matters to you? What issues are you thinking about in this upcoming election? And somebody said something that Fox News wasn't expecting and they got out of there very, very quickly. Watch this left has done a very good job. That's why we want to chat with some college students here on campus. I'm going to come over here. Andrew, what are you expecting the president to say? And what are some of the issues that you are looking to this election cycle? I'm hoping to see some relief about the war. Some inflation come down, interest rates come down, just some sustainability. When I'm, you know, shopping, getting gas from my truck, things like that. It's just absurd pricing right now. So I'm just hoping to see some relief in the economy. Well, absolutely. Now the latest Fox News power rankings say that the race here is shifting leaning Republican to likely Republican, she got out of there. She was like, that was not what you were supposed to say. You were supposed to talk about like trans people and gender in school and all the other Republican talking points. I can't even keep track of them these days. They have so many different culture war talking points, but he focused on the economy. The fact that prices are so unaffordable, things are so expensive right now. And it's just so funny how Donald Trump and the Republicans try to pretend like people don't feel this way. You know, they try to lie and say the economy's great. You love it. Your income is up so high. You're doing so well, right? Right. And then when somebody says something different, they get out of there. The control room was in her ear telling her to get out. You got to get out of there. You got to move on. Speaking of which at the beginning of this rally that Donald Trump hosted today, he straight up lied to them and then said, look at you. You're all nodding, right? You're all nodding because of what I just said and it's true. Right? Already I gave you one income. Your income is the highest level that has ever been. All of you look, you're all nodding, you're right. The fake news, everyone. Have you ever seen that clip of Jeb Bush who was running for president in 2016? And he was at an event and he said something and nobody clapped. And he like slumped and went, please clap and then they eventually did. It's a really like, you know, embarrassing moment. That's what just happened. That's Donald Trump's, please clap moment. He's lying about their incomes being the highest it's ever been. And then he's goating them. He's like, you have to not along. You have to clap otherwise there's going to be some problems. You have to not along. And of course, look, nobody in the crowd at any point is nodding along as he's saying this. Just look at the back of look the back of him. Nobody is there. Nobody's clapped. If some of these people aren't even paying attention, they're a mid conversation. They're not even listening to him. Maybe Donald Trump is hallucinating when he says that just like he was the other day, when he stopped on the helipad and started waving at nobody as he was departing the White House. , there's nobody there. There's nobody there. He's waving at nobody. Now, Republican say maybe he was waving to a construction worker, maybe, maybe, but who knows with Donald Trump these days? He, you know, seems to be kind of off his rocker, speaking of off the rocker. He actually made this a point in his rally to talk about. He wants to change the name of New Mexico. By the way, he doesn't have the power to do this. Not even a little bit, not even close. He wants to change the name of the state, New Mexico to New America. And he's saying that if they change their name, their home prices are going to double and everything's going to be so good in the state of New Mexico or New America as he would put it. But like, you know, we're less than two weeks away from the midterms. And he's talking about changing the name of states. That's his closing message. I'm trying to change New Mexico. You know, it's a, it's a good state that went wayward. They have crooked elections in New Mexico, very crooked elections. But if you call New Mexico, so a friend of mine lives there and he says every time he goes on a plane, they want to see his passport because, no, it's, he says all the time, it's such a pain. And frankly, and I'm playing with this, you know, this is tricky. It's called New Mexico, but it's not Mexico. I want to change it to New America. The value of their homes will double. I'll tell you it's like, it's like with a series. It's like the Gulf of America. You know, the Gulf of America now, the whole shoreline is booming. They're selling t-shirts, they're selling them. They never sold anything and it's booming. The, the Gulf of Mexico shoreline is booming now because of Donald Trump. What bothers me so much about this clip is like, yeah, we know Donald Trump is stupid. And he's insane. And so he's going to get on stage and say stuff like this, even, you know, a week and a half away from a major national election, the crowd is cheering. Once again, I ask, what are you cheering for? What are you cheering for? How does this make anybody's life better? How does changing the name of a state to something that he wants to name it, going to make anybody's life better? It's not going to help you guys. I, like, you guys live in Florida. What do you, what are you applauding for? Like the crowd at these Trump rallies has been driving me nuts because Donald Trump, we know is insane. We've known that for 10 years now. These people though, and of course we've known the Trump supporters are crazy. They just clapped for anything. It is so embarrassing. And I have to point it out every time, speaking of bad closing messages. He also says that higher gas prices are a small price to pay with the Iran war. The last time the radical Democrats had power, they gave us the worst inflation in American history. The highest energy prices in American history. You know, energy was much higher on the sleepy Joe and under Barack Hussein Obama. And what we did is, I know it's going to go up a little bit small price to pay, but we took out the nuclear power from Iran. So they still have your, their uranium, right? Iran still has their uranium. The war is not finished and gas prices are still incredibly high. Diesel has hit a record high. He keeps bringing me up Obama and Joe Biden. I mean, you know, Barack Obama has a minute office in 10 years and Joe Biden has a minute office in two years. So this is his economy, his country, right? He, everything we're seeing right now in this in the United States. Everything that's going wrong because of him, no Barack Obama or Joe Biden. You can't blame them, but gas prices are record highs under him. And he wants to blame Barack Obama really, great closing message, Donald. Yeah, the gas price, he said we were going to get $2 gas and we have $6 diesel. So the crowd also for the warm up speakers before Donald Trump got on stage was pretty hot. But now as he continued to rant and continue to move through the speech, they got a little cold. As he ran to that length about his White House renovations, even they were a little bored with what he was saying. And you can see, especially in the faces of the crowd behind him watch this. The door of the South entrance, it was a door is green, sort of a bad looking green. It's been that way for a hundred years. I don't want to say this because I'm going to get sued to put it back together. So and the door knob was sort of broken. You know, it was like a round knob with about 40 knocks in it. You know, it's been through the mill, looks like it went through the war. It actually did actually. So I took the doors, I'm a big believer in, you know, in all of that, all of the kind of thing renovations and landmarking. I'm a big believer. But so I had the doors removed. I had them redone by total experts. And we painted them instead of the White House, instead of green. You know why they were green? Because it used to be the entrance to the maintenance room. And they never changed the doors. So instead of green, I painted them beautiful white. The skin is so beautiful. The doors, the reason I took them off, because. Like what? Well, you know, I just, I can't get over the fact that we're like a week and a half. I said, I've said it maybe three or four times in this video. I recognize that. Can't get over the fact that we're like a week and a half away from the midterm elections. And he's talking about a green door knob, a door that he painted white at the White House. And even these people, look at this guy. Do you think these folks, this guy doesn't look too pleased. This guy, he's like, he's picking his nose. He's picking the guy caught on the presidential look. Yeah, this guy's wiping his face. They're all just, you know, they have no idea what's going on. Even they are confused. Donald Trump then, and we're, I can't believe we're having this conversation still. We then went on to attack Joe Biden. Joe Biden is not in office. And hasn't been in years. If he was in office, we'd be way better off right now, by the way. But he hasn't been in office in years. And Donald Trump attacked him here at his rally once again, saying that Joe Biden was sleeping all the time. So Biden allowed 25 million. He had no clue. He was sleeping most of the time. But his borders are always, come on, nobody knows their last name. Does anybody know her last name? Harris. Harris. It's what. It's what. No. No. So, I actually, I-- I can't tell anymore, was that an attempt at a joke that nobody knows Kamala Harris' last name? Like, was that humor? I really can't tell. I can't tell if he genuinely is like trying to crack a joke and it just didn't land because he's not funny or he genuinely forgot her last name. I don't know, but you know, the idea that it was Joe Biden sleeping all the time, it's just so funny given that this took place, this video you're about to watch at a roundtable two days ago, two days ago at the White House. So, say, Terry Edger, who is in this fight every single day, leading the charge for DHS. Okay, so who's sleeping? Who's sleeping? It's him. This is what he looks like in all these different Oval Office meetings all the time Donald Trump is passing out. It drives me nuts when he's like, oh yeah, it was Joe Biden who was sleeping in the Oval Office. Then we have a spectacle, some fascism here as Donald Trump demands that Ilhan Omar, the Democratic Congresswoman who's house was just rated and he has been targeting her for many years, he demands that she resigns and says that Democrats have conceded her seat and the 20-something dude bros behind him leap up and start cheering. The crowd eventually got back into the speech as Donald Trump is demanding that a member of Congress be forcibly removed from their seat. But because Ilhan used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume that she must immediately resign from Congress. (crowd cheering) So, Byron and Ashley, please inform the speaker of the House of Representatives, James Michael Johnson, you didn't know his first name was James, James, right? And we love James Michael Johnson. That the Democrat Party has just conceded the seat of the former Ilhan Omar from. (crowd cheering) From the lovely country of Somalia, from the. - Why, like, they are all standing and clapping and going crazy for Donald Trump trying to forcibly remove a member of Congress from their seat. For no reason, there's no actual criminal allegation against Ilhan Omar here. No charges, and even if there was, that doesn't mean that somebody gets removed from the seat by the president of the United States, due process and whatnot. But, yeah, I mean, like, they get up in clap and they go crazy for this. They don't go crazy for, like, policy. They're not thinking about the major issues impacting the United States. These people behind Donald Trump, they're standing and clapping because he is a wanna be dictator, a wanna be fascist or just straight up fascist in some people's eyes. And he's going after members of Congress that they don't like. This is what I said this in the video earlier today. These people think politics is a game, like a sport. And they get up in cheer and they clap at the most entertaining moments. When Donald Trump says something stupid or somebody says something stupid, politics is not a game and it's not a sport. It's very serious. And this fascist who's in the noble office is ruining our lives every single day. And they just, they're thinking about, you know, renaming states and bodies of water. He then goes on speaking of wedge to say and threaten Cuba, saying we're gonna take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran. - The national, think of it, think of it. The Islamic Republic of Iran will tell you that we have the best equipment. No, Cuba, he wants to know what about Cuba. Give me a break. Give me a break. Don't worry, we'll take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran with it. (audience cheering) We'll do a little stopover. Now, we'll do a little stopover. Actually, what we're gonna do with Cuba is we're gonna come back from Iran. There's beautiful ships, we'll pass Cuba. We'll have one of 'em stop about 50 yards off the coast. They'll raise up their hands. And then we're gonna send Marco-- - I mean, he's openly threatening Cuba as he's done so often. And interestingly, Marco Rubio posted on Twitter today to those who seek to create positive change in Cuba. Now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises corruption and the privileged lives of only a few sees this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA. So he's advocating for revolution in Cuba. And Donald Trump is simultaneously the same day saying that they're gonna stop in Cuba after Iran and invade them and park the ships 50 yards off of the shore and they're gonna cause some trouble. Because what we need is more war. Isn't that right? We need more war right now. That's right, we don't need affordable housing or making college more affordable for people my age. And well, not no, no, we need another war. The Republican Party, everybody. I can't believe that anybody is voting for them. He then goes on to say, I've settled eight wars. Think of that, did I get the Nobel Peace Prize? Did I get the prize? No, he didn't. This is what he's talking about. - I've settled eight wars, think of that. Did I get the Nobel Prize? No. (audience cheering) Did I get the Nobel Prize? Excuse me. Byron, did you see the Nobel Prize being sent to the office, please? Did it come through? Florida? I don't think so. No, I settled, you know, Norway's very liberal. And you know, the person that got the Nobel Prize the first one said, you have to be kidding. I got it, Trump deserves it. He deserves it more than any person. - Yeah, so the guy who's once again threatening to invade Cuba, his secretary of state is threatening to invade Cuba, wants the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a guy who can't even end the war he started. And he's talking about wanting another war and he believes that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. He also, later in the rally, was like, I'm going home because I'm wasting time. What do I have to keep doing this for? I've been doing this for two weeks. He doesn't like campaigning. And then eventually, Fox News did cut away from the rally because it was so bad. - One applies for me again. People love Bobby. - Well, there you have the president and Fort Myers floor. They're to boost the candidacy of the gubernatorial candidate for the GOP Byron Donald's running against David Jolly. The race there is tightening a bit. And we are going to take you back to Florida a bit later this hour. In the meantime, you heard the president talking about Congresswoman Elon Omar. - Yes, that's right. They pivoted away from Donald Trump to talk about another culture war issue, fraud thing that they like to talk on Fox News. And it's Ilhan Omar. That's the topic of the week for Republicans. But even they got bored. Even they had to cut away from Donald Trump's speech. And that's how you know it was bad. Including, you know, the Fox reporter earlier who had to run away as people were saying things they didn't like. So look, I will leave the video there. I just wanted to cover this disaster's rally for you. It was really bad. Please make sure to subscribe down below. Drop a like on the video, comment, let me know what you think about everything we just talked about. Have an amazing rest of your day and we will talk soon.
