>> Donald Trump is lashing out at Fox News again.
Honestly, he has had a series of tweets going after them.
He's very upset that they had a spokes person from the DNC on.
I'm tired of reading his tweets.
Whatever, I don't care.
So, I'm going to go ahead and tell you about the reaction from Fox, because I think that's
been far more interesting.
Now, Trump believes that Fox should be his news organization, they should be working
for him.
And if they're not going to constantly do positive coverage on him, well, then he's
gonna have to look for a different cable news channel.
He said that.
Now, there have been a number of hosts on Fox who are saying no, we don't work for you,
this is not this is not a cable news channel specifically to bolster your campaign.
You have Brit Hume who said Fox News isn't supposed to work for you and then.
>> Well look, I know you don't want to read this tweet, but this part is relevant because
Trump said Fox isn't working for us anymore.
And so that's why Hume and others are saying, dude we're not supposed to work for you.
But I like that Brit Hume is like still pretending.
>> I know that's the thing.
Like so we're about to show you video from various hosts who who think.
No no no where we were supposed to call you out but you guys haven't been calling him
out.
You guys have been helping him from the very beginning.
And Guy Benson who's a contributor on Fox says, we don't work for you.
Okay now, Neil Cavuto had some strong words for Trump, and I want to show you that video
so let's take a look.
>> First of all, Mr. President, we don't work for you.
I don't work for you.
My job is to cover you, not fawn over you or rip you.
Just report on you, to call balls and strikes on you.
My job, Mr. President, our job here is to keep the scores, not settle scores.
Now in my case, to report the economic numbers when they're good, and when they're bad.
And when the markets are soaring and when they're tumbling.
When trade talks look like they're coming together, and when they look like they're
falling apart.
It is called being fair and balanced Mr President.
Yet it is fair to say, you're not a fan, when that balance includes stuff you don't like
to hear, or facts you don't like to have questioned.
You're entitled to your point of view Mr. President, but you're not entitled to your
own set of facts.
>> So I think it's fascinating to see when Fox News hosts actually turn on Trump, because
when children were dying in cages at the border they didn't turn on Trump.
There were no harsh segments criticizing him and his policies.
There were no harsh segments when Trump was ripping children away from their parents at
the border.
Like when it came to lives being lost, Fox News didn't turn on him at all.
When it came to the possibility of a recession, all of a sudden there's some coverage about,
we don't know about this trade war, we don't know about this.
The economy isn't looking so good, he needs to change course.
When it comes to their bottom line, and when it comes to their money, that's when they're
willing to criticize Donald Trump.
So I think that that's telling, to say the least, but positioning themselves as like
these hard hitting journalists who are willing to hold Trump accountable for his actions
is crazy.
That is not what they've done.
>> Yeah, so two points here.
One is he's accidentally helping Fox News a lot, because this allows Fox News to go,
see we're fair and balanced.
Neil Cavuto literally just said it, and look, even Trump criticize us so we must be down
the middle.
In reality, Neil Cavuto is massively conservative.
We've covered him for years, unfortunately, here.
And so you wanna give him a tiny bit of credit for calling out Trump 2% of the time?
>> No, 0%.
>> Right?
Yeah so that's better than Hannity, that's better than Lou Dobbs who's just literally
lost his mind.
And how's Lou Dobbs?
>> Lou Dobbs thinks it's okay to run people over if you disagree with their political
protest.
>> No, you could watch Lou Dobbs any night, he's not talking about business.
But if you wanna see someone who belongs in a mental institution, turn on Lou Dobbs or
Jeanine Pirro, okay?
So look, the mentally insane are still on Trump's side, on Fox News, and yelling it
from the rooftops.
But the other guys slant the news conservative anyway, right?
And they're just not total lunatics, on behalf of every single thing that Donald Trump does.
But now, there's a general perception of, Fox is being tough on Trump, so I think that
helps them.
Now, I think it is an accident, and I thought I was gonna make a brilliant point, but one
of you guys beat me to the punch.
So I often say as we do the show live after all the breaks, or as we come in from the
breaks, I read a lot of your comments.
And we read our member comments first, cuz they make this show possible.
tyt.com/showing to be one of those members.
So G David, VX77 wrote in, in the last break.
OMG, I just saw someone suggest that Trump is going hard against Fox News ahead of him
making his own News Network after he leaves office at some point, we will see but I wouldn't
be surprised.
That's exactly the point I was gonna make.
And here I thought I was being really smart.
Anyway, look, remember when he thought he was going to lose, he started talking about
Trump TV.
And now a little bit about 14 months before the election when it looks like he's gonna
lose, all of a sudden he's down 36% in the polling and he knows the recession is about
to come.
They're talking about it internally in all of his meetings and if a recession hits an
election year, good night Irene.
All of a sudden he's like Fox News isn't working for us.
Fox News is bad.
We might need a new outlet, come on.
It doesn't actually take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
>> Trump loves to be on television.
That's his number one passion.
He loves attention.
He loves being in the media.
And so if that happens, it wouldn't surprise me.
But I do think that at the moment, what's driving Trump is his fear and his insecurity.
And his honestly, the fact that he's finally recognizing that he's not a popular president.
His approval numbers are dismal.
They're terrible.
And he's starting to get a little bit of backlash from some of his allies because of where the
economy is headed.
And so, yeah, I just think that this is him trying to hold on to the infrastructure around
him that's helped him win so far.
>> Yeah.
>> Do you get what I'm saying?
Without Fox News doing his bidding, what is he gonna do?
Who's gonna cover him in a favorable way?
>> No, of course he's an idiot.
That's why I never thought he was going to last, because he burns too many bridges.
I mean, you burn the Fox News bridge, what bridge do you have left?
So I wanna read you the last part of that tweet, cuz this was relevant here.
The new Fox News is letting millions of great people down.
We have to start looking for a new news outlet Fox isn't working for us anymore.
>> Yeah.
Yeah.
That was a- >> Okay.
>> That was a good hint.
>> Yes, here comes Trump TV, and here come Donald Trump realizing that he ain't gonna
make it.
By the way, if he thinks he's gonna get humiliated, you sure he's gonna stick around, tick, tick,
tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
>> You're going around on national television, Cenk.
You're very confident.
Because I believe in logic, and I'm a man of my word.
And see months left, 14 months left.
I have never wavered.
Not gonna make it to that.
>> You're crazy.
>> Well, here I am.
