Fox News Can’t Hide Trump’s Growing Political Trouble

State regime media, particularly Fox News, is engaged in a relentless disinformation campaign against New York City Mayor Eric Adams during the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Rather than honoring the victims with unity, the media transforms a solemn national memorial into a culture war spectacle, falsely accusing Adams of being a Muslim sympathizer and promoting conspiracy theories about his symbolic gesture involving a pen passed to a former Biden immigration adviser. This narrative is rooted in deep-seated xenophobia and racism, targeting a mayor who has earned strong public support—his approval in Manhattan has risen to 69%, up from 44% a year earlier. Meanwhile, the media ignores critical public demands for transparency, including the release of 170,000 documents revealing that the Giuliani administration covered up the health hazards from 9/11-related toxic air. In contrast, Adams’ speech emphasizes the long-term health toll on survivors and first responders, framing the tragedy not as a moment of closure but as a continuing struggle. Trump’s false claims about being in the rubble and saving lives are exposed as lies, further highlighting the media’s role in spreading misinformation. The attack is not only baseless but deliberately designed to divide Americans, distract from economic collapse, and protect a political regime that has failed on immigration, healthcare, and public safety. The disinformation is amplified by far-right influencers and extremists, including Laura Ingraham and Corbett Dylan, who normalize fascist rhetoric and misrepresent political movements in Europe. Ultimately, the campaign reflects a broader strategy of psychological warfare: to breed fear, hatred, and division, while allowing figures like Donald Trump to rise on lies and extremism. New Yorkers and the public must reject these narratives and demand truth, transparency, and unity in the face of systemic disinformation.

State Regime Media, which calls itself Fox News, was in full panic on live TV as Donald Trump hits a new low in his approval, as Trump's regime is collapsing, as this disastrous event is said to take place tonight in Dallas, the so-called Trump Apollosa, midterm Republican convention, state Regime Media, propaganda is not working to prop up Donald Trump in his regime. Many more. So what do they do? Well, they attack Mom Donnie, they become entirely unhinged. You have one of Fox's top propagandists, Harris Faulkner, she, I mean, this is just straight up losing their mind. She has this conspiracy theory that you see Mayor Mom Donnie of New York, handed a pen to the police commissioner, who handed the pen to an advisor, and this relates to Biden and immigration, and they're coming for you. And socialism and communism and everybody's coming to get you now. This as Mayor Mom Donnie's approval in Manhattan, it's like approaching 70%. I mean, his approval is skyrocketing. Trump's approval is record low right now for any president in this time, but this is what state regime media does, and in a very dastardly and disgusting fashion. What state regime media does is on a day, September 11th, which should bring Americans together, where we all rally behind and support first responders, and we pay tribute to all of those who lost their lives today, and it's a solemn remembrance, especially on the 25th anniversary, where Donald Trump doesn't even want to show up to New York, because they won't let him deliver a propaganda speech, right? You know, this should be a day of bringing us together state regime media has turned this into a culture war issue. They turn 911 into a culture war issue, and use it to attack Mom Donnie in the whole 24 hours, 48 hours, they're launching like boycott mom Donnie, mom Donnie shouldn't show up to ground zero. And their basis is is that he's Muslim. I mean, it's based on sheer xenophobia and hatred, and this is what they're spewing to divide people when you have a very popular mayor, and this is the relentless fire hose, billions and trillions of dollars of money being poured into this disinformation hub. So I want you to watch first, Harris Faulkner, just watch this, just even try to follow what she's saying here, play this clip. You asked me a multi-part question, and I want to get to all of it, Sean. I'm going to start with the first part. Why did he hand the pen to Ramzi Kassam? Because it sends the signal, and by the way, he didn't hand the pen to him. He gave it to his NYPD police commissioner, Jessica Tish first, and had her hand in the pen. That is a huge signal. This is a guy who just handed what saved so many people the head of the NYPD 25 years ago. He hands the pen to her as if to say, "Just pass this along, the one I'm really connected to is standing behind you." And why would I say that? Because there's always been this sort of connection of association between Mayor Mom Donnie and Ramzi Kassam. But what we have now is participation. And you're going to need something to participate with me. And so he hands the pen. It's symbolic. Look, everybody can read what they want to read into it, but I'm looking consistently with what we know. So who is Ramzi Kassam? He was working for the Biden administration. He was a senior adviser. You know what his job was? Immigration court bat logs. He was doing the screening for who made it onto the watchlist. You call it watchlisting. He's looking at that. Think about what we just went through under former president Biden and illegal immigration in this country. Think about what that means for people who might hate the country enough to break into it and do whatever they want to do when they're here. That is consistent with what president Trump ran on and won. This guy is reminding us of what we've always known. Who he is. Who he is now participating with handing off a pen, right? And now what the future may look like. And this whole thing. And I'm glad you brought up the 170,000 documents that are going to point out air quality health hazards and government response to 9/11. Those are things that New Yorkers have wanted to know since it happened on that Tuesday, September 11, 2001. That's great information. But as Republicans are pointing out today, that's a distraction from the fact that people don't want you showing up on Friday because you've made it clear through your anti-Israel comments, through your anti-American comments that maybe the citizens are not your first focus. Maybe you don't really have their hearts in your heart. But then it gets even more despicable from there. If you can imagine, Laura Ingraham brings in Vicki Paladino, a New York City Councilwoman. She's one of the only mega extremist New York City Councilwoman. So I've naturally state regime media platforms her and she says the most heinous things imaginable. She goes the way it sends a message when Mamdani goes to 9/11. It's a message to Osama bin Laden that look we conquered New York. And I also want you to me sick, sick, disgusting people. And I want you to pay attention also to what else is going on here because New York City mayor Mamdani released over 170,000 files yesterday showing that the Giuliani administration when Giuliani was the mayor and those who were surrounding him covered up all of the horrible health consequences that were being caused after the World Trade Center and surrounding buildings. We're destroyed and they were covering this up. They were not telling the people about the health consequences. Mamdani to actually bring transparency, release the files. How about that and look what happens. These magas go nuts and they go into their feeding frenzy of disinformation. Watch over here. Paladino here. Watch for yourself. You know what we need to get active too. We need to be able to see through this total absolute force that they're trying to pour it off on New Yorkers and across the country. I'm telling you this was symbolism. It was it was cryptic, but it was a message the same way it's a message when he goes down to 9/11. It's I ain't even say this Laura, but you know, it's a message to Osama bin Laden that look we conquered New York. That's how scary all of this really is to each and every one of us. New Yorkers need to wake up. He won this election not with born and bred New Yorkers. He won this election with transplants ages 18 to 30 years old, making promises he could never keep. So I am furious. I do want to say I want to give it right and more from Paladino over here and she says and this isn't this tell you the whole story right here. You know, Laura Ingram's like, but mom Donnie's approval is pretty high in New York City and Paladino goes, well, they're not surveying white women like me middle aged white women like me are not being surveyed. They're just surveying the other people, the transplants, the two that are okay. Really? This is what it's all about. This is what these people are all about. I mean, it's sick. It's hatred. It's division. It's racism in my opinion. You're playing this clip. That is approval rating. I believe I don't think we have the graphic, but his approval rating in New York is pretty strong. Is that surprise in you or you think no one's answering the surveys or what? Look, you got to find out who he's surveying. All right, he's not surveying people like myself average middle white working class people. He's not doing that. He is tending his nest with these young people. You know, everybody has control over the polling that they do and he's certainly a good example of how he does that. He has manipulated a base of people and he's not giving up. You know, he's doing his community of mass engagement where we just found out 200 people are being paid tax pay or dollars to carry his message. This is as bad as it gets. Elections have consequences. Councilwoman, thank you very much. Good to see you. And then on Laura Ingram, they've been bringing this guy Corbett Dylan back all the time, former advisor to Boris Johnson, but far right wing guy in the UK who they bring on to state regime media all the time now. And Laura Ingram and Corbett Dylan have this discussion about how the AFD in Germany is not they go, they're not even a far right party. The AFD is like a centrist party. No, the AFD is not a centrist party. What in the world are you talking about? And this is what they're trying to normalize here in the US. And I want you to also remember what I talk a lot about here that the fascism movement is international in scope. And I think that the pro democracy forces in the United States were so focused on an election in midterms that they didn't see these fascist forces internationally, whether it was Orban, whether it is AFD. Whether it's reform party, whether it's Naga, it is all part of the pen in France. It is all part of the same forces and the movements here. This is what Laura Ingraham says in Corbett-Dillen played. Well, and the thing about this is that you still have these European elites who are shocked that we have this major Eastern region of Germany say, no, we're not letting you do this to us. You want to do this in Berlin. You want to do this in Munich. You're not going to do this to us because we love our country. We love our people. We want to have vibrant business. Because they want that, the headlines are far right victory in Germany. First time since World War II, it's always harkening back to the Nazi era. You heard pundits today on television, harkening back to the Nazi. I don't think any of that works anymore. I just don't. No, it doesn't, you're right. I actually think the rhetoric coming out of these journalists and politicians on the left is actually outrageous. If you look at what the AFD is standing for, it's anything. Some mega-republicans would probably say, hey, they're not, they're not, you know, right, we're not for us. They're not right, we're not at all, they're nowhere near far right. It's absolutely insane that the left are reacting like this to a, you know, this party is they're getting 43% of the vote in this election. The people like them and they are petrified that Europe is finally waking up and saying, these policies don't work. If their policies are so great that people would support them, look at what has happened to Germany, to France, to the UK, they don't work. Life insurance.

Then you have over here, R&C chair, Joe Grudders, and again, notice what are Republicans talking about? What are they not talking about? They pick the personality and they attack. Bayer Mamdoni is Muslim or James Tolerico and they just make stuff up. He's a freak. Six genders. Penis vagina. They just start saying stuff like they're like little immature, like gross people. This is all they care about, like dude, relax. But what don't they want to talk about? What they want you to be distracted about and what they want you to just be so grossed out about politics that you won't pay attention to. The cost of living. You won't pay attention to what governments really supposed to do, which is to protect you and to do things for you and to provide services and to deliver things, not to take, not to rip apart, not to pickpock and not to steal, not to inflict pain upon you. But they want to distract from the fact that they've ripped away your health care. They've destroyed your ability to afford anything. Gross record highs, diesel record highs, gross series record highs. People can't afford rent. They sure as hell can't afford a home right now. Donald Trump's in never-ending wars everywhere. He didn't solve the war in Ukraine in 24 hours as he's promised. He got us in this catastrophic war with Netanyahu against Iran, which is just further escalating. We saw Iran strikes of the US bases after Trump escalated first in Iran retaliated. They don't want us to, they're covering up a child sex trafficking in the Epstein files. They don't want us to talk about these things. So they do these distraction traps and these personality clashes and this disinformation. They arrange boycotts against people. But remember, we need to stick together. We need to be united here. Listen to what Joe Grudders has to say here, play this clip. Before, the Democrats are saying if they can flip this scene, that is going to change everything steep in the heart of Texas. And there's no chance at that. Now, Vitaly Friko is probably the most radical candidate in the country. People do not want to vote for a guy who believes in six genders who God's non-binary, who wants to mutilate our kids, who wants to welcome that on the southern border. It's not going to happen here in Texas. And I think that the, listen, we, like I said, we have the candidates, we have the candidates across the country is the ones we need. We have the money. We have the resources. The president's going to deliver these votes. And that's why we're doing things like the Republican convention, which has never been done before. All right. So you see that there's no chance that Talorika is going to get elected, but the real clear politics average has currently got him up to and a half points, what do you say? Yeah. Don't be concerned about that. If you listen to polls, the president would never be president. Believe us, when we have, we have the messaging, we have the candidates. Kim packs him with through a brutal primary, but he is a great conservative word that's one Texas three times. And after the day, people want normal. People don't want extremists, these extremists left radicals, which Talorika certainly is one. And here is Harry Enten from the other day talking about Zora and Mamdani's approval. You could see for yourself. Let's play it. What are New Yorkers think about them? They like the guy. They like the guy. And it's not just that they like the guy. They like the guy a lot more than they did a year ago. I mean, take a look here. Mamdani's favorite in New York City. You know, you go a year ago, 44%. Look where it was at the beginning of his term. It was 68%. You might think, okay, you know, that's a sugar high. Is he's coming to office? But look now, it's 69%. There has been no drop. He is still on the honeymoon period. This is an extremely long honeymoon period. Americans wish they could have honeymoon periods for this long. But Mamdani is still very popular in this city as he is implementing his agenda. Now with all of this going on, you would say, well, what's Zora and Mamdani? How is he handless with grace, with dignity? This is New York City Mayor Zora and Mamdani's speech that he gave yesterday, give you just a short portion of it, where he describes 9/11 as the worst tragedy to ever befall New York City. We marked 25 years since the worst tragedy. And he goes on to talk about the health issues that impact New Yorkers and how this was covered up by Giuliani. This was covered up by people. And by the way, you know, while Mayor Mamdani is talking about health and improving people's health, and what do you have Trump saying yesterday? Trump basically lied and claimed he was there in the rubble and that he brought hundreds of guys to save lives. He's just liar. He lies about all of these things. And so you have state regime media attacks Mamdani while Donald Trump's out there saying that you have to understand, this is a sigh up. This is a psychological operation of brainwashing to divide us by the Epstein class. You get that, right? That's what these people are doing. And I wanted to show you this video so you understand the sigh up. I know you know it, but the effort is to divide us, to make us angry and hate each other and poison the information well so that you have fascists like Donald Trump rise and cover up child sex trafficking and torture people and steal from you while people like Laura Ingraham and Jesse Waters and these Fox hosts live in their gigantic mansions and have, you know, with the club Mar-a-Lago and club, whatever, Bed Minster and all this stupid shit. You're playing this clip of what Mamdani said, let's play it. On Friday, we will mark 25 years since the worst tragedy to ever befall our city. The darkest day New York City has ever known and yet the devastating truth is that the suffering did not end once the smoke cleared and the dust settled. For so many New Yorkers who lived or worked or studied near ground zero and for the thousands of others who worked on the pile, recovering those we lost and clearing the rubble. That was only the beginning of years of hardship and illness that would follow. Members of iron workers and firefighters and office workers and so many more, remember September 11th, not just each time we mark the passage of another year, but as Congressman Nadler once said, each time they take a struggling breath, each time they have to swallow a pill, each time another chemo dose is administered. And as the years pass and the human toll grows, we reckon with the cost of September 11th, whenever another New Yorker is stolen from us too soon. Now, close to 25 years later, more people have died from 9/11 related illnesses than were killed on the day itself. It would be one thing if government had stood alongside survivors and provided them with everything they needed it every step of the way. And yet we know that could not be further from what actually happened. People got sick because the leaders they trusted, lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air. And then when they began to contend with the symptoms of the illnesses that followed, the government that had not hesitated to send them into harm's way was nowhere to be. Now, contrast that to what Trump said yesterday, let's play. If you get too farman, we thought it was coming down on top of us and too farman. Big strong guys. And I'm not the smallest guy in the world. They grabbed me under the arms, they got to get out of here. And they literally lifted me up. This is not easy to do. I'm big. They lifted me up and they started running with me. I said, "Fellas, I can run myself." But they were amazing. But they thought it was coming down. It didn't come down. U.S. deal. Yeah, he's just the liar. None of that happened. Now, here's what John Stuart said when he was giving that speech with Mamdani yesterday, let's play it. The people that made them uncover that and made it be released to the public are the people that are standing behind me. They're the ones on the till. They are first responders. They are families of loved ones that were lost. They are legislators. They are legislative aides. The city began covering their ass. Three weeks in in a memo. The memo is entitled legislative alternatives to the fiscal responsibility for 9/11. These people had to fight, sick and dying for years. And I'm not saying that the information may have changed the outcomes, unfortunately, for their families. But I guarantee you it would not have been the struggle that it was to get people to recognize that what they all knew and what we all knew who live in downtown Manhattan is that there was poison in the air and on the ground and in the window sales and in your air conditioners and covering your pets and your clothes and it stayed there for months. Everyone knew. And now it's very clear that the city knew as well. And rather than take the steps to ameliorate the damage that that would cause to its citizens and to the people that were down there, they instead covered it up to get back to business as usual. But unfortunately after 9/11 business will never be usual again. And so I just want to say that the people that are standing up here are heroes. They are and it's not just about the past. It's not just about going into the files and relitigating how we all knew what we knew was there. It's about the future. And then when Zoran Mamdani was asked whether Rudy Giuliani lied about toxic air after 9/11 and should stay away from Friday's memorial, watch how Mamdani answered it with grace, with dignity, watch for yourself here playing. It sounds like you're saying Rudy Giuliani lied. Given that that's the case, do you think he should stay away from Friday's memorial service? I think that the focus of memorial services should be on the New Yorkers who were killed that day, their families, the survivors, the first responders. I don't think it should be on politicians. Do you think he lied, though? I leave it to New Yorkers to make their judgments. And what we want to do is finally allow them the documents that they have long been demanding. [Music]

Podcast Summary

Key Points:

  1. State regime media, including Fox News, is engaged in a coordinated disinformation campaign against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, falsely linking him to Islam and portraying his 9/11 memorial speech as a provocation to terrorists.
  2. The media amplifies a conspiracy theory that Mayor Adams handed a symbolic pen to Ramzi Kassam, a former Biden immigration adviser, to signal a political alliance, while ignoring the fact that the pen was passed through the NYPD commissioner, a clear act of public service and transparency.
  3. Despite Adams’ soaring approval ratings—up to 69% in Manhattan—state regime media launches a xenophobic and racially charged attack, falsely claiming he is supporting extremism, while simultaneously ignoring the real public demand for accountability over toxic air coverage and health impacts after 9/11.

Summary:

State regime media, particularly Fox News, is engaged in a relentless disinformation campaign against New York City Mayor Eric Adams during the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Rather than honoring the victims with unity, the media transforms a solemn national memorial into a culture war spectacle, falsely accusing Adams of being a Muslim sympathizer and promoting conspiracy theories about his symbolic gesture involving a pen passed to a former Biden immigration adviser. This narrative is rooted in deep-seated xenophobia and racism, targeting a mayor who has earned strong public support—his approval in Manhattan has risen to 69%, up from 44% a year earlier.

Meanwhile, the media ignores critical public demands for transparency, including the release of 170,000 documents revealing that the Giuliani administration covered up the health hazards from 9/11-related toxic air. In contrast, Adams’ speech emphasizes the long-term health toll on survivors and first responders, framing the tragedy not as a moment of closure but as a continuing struggle. Trump’s false claims about being in the rubble and saving lives are exposed as lies, further highlighting the media’s role in spreading misinformation.

The attack is not only baseless but deliberately designed to divide Americans, distract from economic collapse, and protect a political regime that has failed on immigration, healthcare, and public safety. The disinformation is amplified by far-right influencers and extremists, including Laura Ingraham and Corbett Dylan, who normalize fascist rhetoric and misrepresent political movements in Europe. Ultimately, the campaign reflects a broader strategy of psychological warfare: to breed fear, hatred, and division, while allowing figures like Donald Trump to rise on lies and extremism.

New Yorkers and the public must reject these narratives and demand truth, transparency, and unity in the face of systemic disinformation.
