Trump Forced to Cancel Rallies as Fox News Hits Record Low Viewership!

Five days before the midterms, Donald Trump just canceled his only weekend rally. His only rally this weekend in Kansas, a state that Republicans are at risk of losing, and erupted at a reporter for asking why. Fox News just hit a 25-year low in terms of ratings right before the elections. Top Republicans are privately admitting their own voters may not show up at the polls. And while all of this is happening, a U.S. senator briefed on Trump's plan to restart the war with Iran after the election is calling it insane, and the U.S. Army is practicing how to dig mass graves for fallen troops. Admittedly, a lot of the news we are seeing right now is very, very ominous. One thing that I do want to start with is that Fox News ratings are tanking, and our ratings are surging. We are beating Fox News again, but it's not just us beating Fox News. Fox News is bleeding viewers ahead of Election Day. The lowest number of viewers at this point ahead of Election Day in 25 years. This is the power of independent media. This is what we are building. We are beating Fox News, and we are spreading accurate news to millions. So if you can, subscribe to support this work, like, comment, share, because Fox News has lost more than a quarter of its audience in October. According to Nielsen data obtained by The Wrap, Fox averaged 1.1 million viewers throughout the day, down 27% from a year ago. Its primetime audience fell 28%. But here's a number that should terrify Fox executives. Among adults 25 to 54, the group advertisers care about the most, Fox fell 32% to just 98,000 voters. That's the lowest number in that group in 25 years. And I think we all know why, right? People are tired of being spun. They want the truth, and more and more of them are getting it from independent outlets like ours. Now let's talk Republicans, because the panic is real. Trump canceled his Saturday rally in Kansas. It was only his scheduled weekend rally before Election Day. He was supposed to campaign for Roger Marshall, the senator who now trails Adam Hamilton in Kansas, 49 to 45. And when asked, he attacked the reporter for asking. You've been doing a lot of travel. We've been doing a lot of travel with you. How are you feeling? How's your health? Good. I think you're doing good. I think you see that. We had a great rally. That was a great rally. And I think that Darlene's going to do very well. I think we're all going to do very well. I think you're going to have some very, we're going to have a strong Tuesday night. That's my opinion. So you not going to Kansas has nothing to do with you being sick of traveling? Oh, you're sick to ass, that's why. Fair watch. Fair watch. Fair watch. Fair watch. You're sick. Who are you with? I'm with Reuters, sir. You are a sick guy. Reuters is terrible, by the way. What would you imagine? Look at this guy. He's way out of shape. Look at how badly he comes to me. Sir, you're not going to go to Kansas. I'm not going to Kansas because he's doing very well. I'm going to do a tell around. Tomorrow I'm doing Florida. He said, what's the reason? After doing, what, 28? He says, what's the reason for this, sir, that you're not going to Kansas? You know what the reason is? I don't feel I have to go to Kansas. I'm going to, Florida tomorrow. And I'll do if something else comes up. But he said, you're not going to Kansas, sir. Trump clearly isn't happy with being asked about why he's not going to Kansas. But think about it. Kansas has an elective Democratic senator nearly a century and the Republican currently is losing. The Republican chair for Kansas says she found out about the cancellation from the RNC. The White House says Trump will do more than 20 tele rallies instead. And it's not just Trump. Ken Paxton, the Republican Senate candidate in Texas, canceled his rally upcoming in El Paso. Now, listen to what Republicans are saying behind closed doors. Axios spoke with half a dozen senior Republican operatives, and they all say that even when they squint, they struggle to see a Senate majority bigger than 51 seats. This is not a party that thinks it's winning. Now, here's where it gets serious. Because while Republicans are nervous about Tuesday, the Trump administration is getting ready for what comes after. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut has been briefed on Trump's plan to restart the war on Iran, and he has called it "insane." SEN. CHRIS MURPHY : In one of these briefings, we did get the chance to have a fairly detailed conversation about what the war plan would be if we restarted military operations. You've heard a preview that it would be a short-duration plan. I will just say this. Their plan is insane. It won't -- it won't -- it will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law. Can you say more? SEN. CHRIS MURPHY : I mean, there's been open reporting as to, you know, what we may be planning and the civilian infrastructure that we may be targeting. I think the plan -- the plan that they have -- they've been asked by the president to develop a plan. Whether they believe it, it will work or not, I do not know. But the plan that they have developed will lead, in my view, to a prolongment and an escalation of this war that will be devastating for our security interests. That's terrifying. And at the same time, U.S. Army soldiers at Fort Bragg are practicing how to dig mass temporary graves for fallen troops for the first time in decades. Soldiers and military chaplains have used bulldozers and excavate -- excavators to rehearse burying large numbers of casualties in a high-dose cellar facility in the United States. The Army says it hasn't needed to do this on a large scale since the Korean War, when 37,000 Americans were killed. A standard plot holds 100 bodies. The Army says it could temporarily bury up to 2,400 fallen soldiers in 24 hours. I want to be clear. The Army didn't necessarily tie this drill to Iran, but it is happening. At the same time, the administration is warning allies to prepare for a new round of fighting. And our troops and their families deserve better. I want to be clear. The Army didn't necessarily tie this drill to Iran, but it is happening at the same time. The administration is warning allies to prepare for a new round of fighting. I want to be honest with you about something. As Election Day gets closer, there has been a concerted effort to attack our work going after our reporting on Trump's Russia connections, on Epstein, the treatment of troops, and more. And it's not hard to see why. Fox is losing viewers, independent media is growing, people want the truth. So instead of backing down, we're doubling down. We're going live all election night. We're growing this newsletter and this channel even more. So if you can, subscribe, support this work, like, comment, share. I spoke with Congresswoman Yasemin Ansari about all this and about what she calls "the power of the people." Concentration camps in the United States of America, ICE detention centers, and the horrors within them. You gotta listen, like, comment, share. But a quick word from our sponsor. With just days to go until Election Day, you need to get out and vote. But voting isn't always easy. Knowing who to vote for, where to vote, how to vote, and making sure that where you go to find this information doesn't actually sell your data is something that is so important to me. That's why I partnered with NextGen America to bring you Voting for America. It's a free, nonpartisan voting assistant. Voters can check their registration, register to vote, find their polling place, see everything on their ballot, and set up text reminders for deadlines and Election Day. It literally works in every state, no matter where you live. It never sells or shares your data. And while it's a chatbot, the AI in it is only to give people a conversational way to ask election-related questions. It'll never make up answers. Every polling place, deadline, and ballot detail comes from a verified election database. So the information is reliable and based on real records. I highly recommend using it. It's helped me find more information about my local polling site here in Washington, D.C. And I really do love at a time where literally websites are trying to capture your information, this does not. Check it out. Let me know what you think. It's the link right below. And my conversation with Congresswoman Ansari. Excited to be joined again by Congresswoman Yasemin Ansari from Arizona. Now, Congresswoman, I've got to jump right in. We are five days away from Election Day. Some people are scared. They're going to be saying that they're going to send BOP guards to the polls, DEA agents to monitor polls. What do you tell them if they say they're scared of voting? Yeah, no, first of all, great to be back. I fully recognize the fear that people have. I don't take anything for granted with the Trump regime. I think that they may do whatever to try to scare and disenfranchise people. What we're doing on the ground to prepare is to train many, many election observers. So we've been working with grassroots organizations, organizations like Lucha and many other partners here to train people who can go out to the polls and make sure that people feel comfortable. organizations like Lucha and many other partners here to train people who can go out to the polls and make sure that people feel comfortable. And if that worst case scenario were to happen to actually record and monitor the situation. However, that being said, this is also why we're really telling people to vote early and emphasizing that voting early and voting by mail is safe in Arizona. and voting by mail is safe in Arizona. Most people vote by mail. In the last election, it was 85% of people voted by mail. That's why you have, you know, Republicans, independents, Democrats, just having overwhelming support for vote by mail and being against crazy legislation like the SAVE Act. And so the numbers are looking really good here. People, I voted early. Most people, you know, I know have voted early and that's where our efforts are focused. But we're preparing, you know, our attorney general here is also incredible, Chris May. She has been preparing for worst case scenarios, but I think that everyone just needs to participate in the process and it's going to be a safe and secure election and we're going to turn our country around. How are you feeling right now about Arizona elections? Because you have statewide races, but you also have some critical battleground, like Arizona's first, Arizona's sixth, where Democrats are hoping to pick up a couple of seats. How are things going on the ground? Everyone's working really hard. Again, not taking anything for granted, but we have a couple, a couple of seats that we are working tirelessly to flip. My neighboring district, Congressional District 1, we have Dr. Amisha running against Jay Feeley. This is the seat that David Schweikert, you know, used to, was holding until he decided to run for governor. We have Joanna Mendoza running against Juan Siscamani. That is another race that has come very close many, many times. And then Jonathan Nez, former president of the Navajo Nation, running against Eli Crane. And here's the thing. I was actually down. I went to northern Arizona over the weekend to campaign with President Nez and go to places like Mojave County, cities like Kingman, Arizona, Bullhead City, Arizona. These are rural communities that have already felt the impact of Trump's big, beautiful bill in terms of the health care cuts that have taken place. Because of the Medicaid cuts, they have seen closures of community health centers. They have seen hospital closures. One woman was telling me she literally has to drive four hours to get to Phoenix to go to a primary care doctor. That's all happened in the last year and a half. So I think that a lot of the independents in Arizona who. That's the highest we have in terms of our registration rankings go independent, Republican, Democrat. So in order to win as a Democrat, you really have to win independence. And I really feel like people are just fed up. They're really fed up with the corruption. The impacts are felt very strongly here in terms of health care, in terms of ICE overreach, in terms of, you know, the economy and the price of gas and the tariffs. I see. A lot of independents and Republicans, the doors I've been at, people are telling us that they're voting Democrat all the way down the ballot. But again, we have to make sure people turn out and we're seeing historic efforts in order to to turn people out. We are. There's a very real possibility that you are about to be in the majority in the House of Representatives, which means you're going to be in a powerful majority on the Oversight Committee. Part of Oversight's responsibility is to examine what's happening at ICE detention facilities. Now, recently, you posted a video on your Instagram calling. ICE detention centers, quote, modern day slavery inside modern day concentration camps. Tell us more. So I've done 14 oversight visits to detention centers in Arizona, Florida and Texas. And I've spoken with dozens and dozens of people who've been detained inside. So I feel I have a very strong understanding of what is happening inside these facilities, not because I've just seen them, but because I've been able to talk to the people who've experienced the conditions. In my most recent visit, we were very focused on reproductive health care. We met with a 24 year old woman named Maria. She's five months into a high risk pregnancy. She has actually had a former pregnancy results in a stillbirth because of her low lying placenta. So she's very high risk. She should not be in a detention center with the condition, you know, with the fact that she's pregnant. She described to us at length how she's being denied gynecological care when she's given when she's been sent out to go see a gynecologist. They don't even allow. The gynecologist to talk directly to the patient and talk to them about their examination and that has that happens across the board for any reason. You go off site if you're detained by ice to go to a doctor, you then have to literally like fight this bureaucracy to get your medical records from the appointment that you had to beg to get there's no real clean drinking water. I called it modern day slavery inside modern day concentration camps because for example, there's no. Clean drinking water. They have these igloo containers where they melt ice detainees have to fight for water from this melted ice. If you want to actually get clean drinking water, you have to pay $2 per bottle from the commissary. How do you get this money? They offer you jobs where they pay you a dollar or $2 a day to clean or to cook inside these detention centers that our government is giving billions and billions and billions of dollars to come. You can't find it. You know, they can't seem to find the money to get people clean drinking water to get people good food to staff adequately and sufficiently so that people the human beings who are being detained there don't have to be forced to work these jobs for no money a day I mean the conditions are abysmal people there's now been over 60 deaths in these detention centers that's not by accident it's because of the treatment people have committed suicide because it's so horrific Maria told us that there's been a lot of deaths in these detention centers that's not by accident it's because of the treatment people have committed suicide because it's so horrific Maria told us you know you know she'll break down crying she you know tells them she's depressed because of these horrific conditions she's in as a five-month pregnant women and then they ask her if she's suicidal and you know what happens if they think you're suicidal they put you in solitary confinement so that they can monitor you and observe you instead of giving you mental health care it I mean I could go on and on about how horrifying it is but we need to investigate these companies I mean I think some of the first subpoenas need to be Maria told us that there's been a lot of deaths in these detention centers that's not by accident it's because of the treatment people have committed suicide because it's so horrific Maria told us that there's been a lot of deaths in these detention centers that's not by accident it's because of the treatment people have committed suicide I mean I think some of the first subpoenas need to be single time to hold these people in criminal contempt of Congress, which is not a joke. We have to get our attorney generals involved in lawsuits. We have to work with attorneys to make sure we get attorneys on our side and judges to actually force these individuals to follow the law. And then we can't let it go. We can't just say, OK, you know, Stephen Miller or let's say we're going after Trump family corruption. You know, Don Jr. doesn't want to come before Congress. That doesn't matter. We have to keep pushing it. And that has to go beyond even the next two years. You mentioned Don Jr. Are you all willing to issue subpoenas to the Trump family, if not the president, Melania, Don Jr., Eric? I mean, you go down the list. I think I can't speak for everyone, but I think many of us are. And one of the top focuses of the oversight committee will be Trump family corruption. single member of this corrupt criminal family has has benefited financially in some of the craziest self-dealings that we have ever literally ever seen in this country's history congressman good luck thanks so much for the time thank you hey folks thanks so much for watching feel free to add this podcast on apple podcasts spotify or anywhere you watch for the latest breaking news and daily hits throughout the day make sure to follow subscribe see you soon for more
