Fox News guest Sid Rosenberg claimed US service members signed up specifically to fight wars like the one against Iran and to 'rid the world of evil animals.'
Fox News guest Sid Rosenberg went on air to tell Trump directly that 'complete annihilation' of Iran is the only acceptable outcome. He argued US service members 'signed up' for exactly this kind of war.
A Fox News financial guest admitted on air that the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at 'tank bottom.' Ben Meiselas argues this is another reason Trump cannot sustain a prolonged Iran conflict — the country is running low on both weapons and oil.
Mark Thiessen told Fox News viewers that Trump is a first-generation American whose father came to the US during the Alaska Gold Rush. Ben Meiselas immediately corrected the record: Fred Trump was born in the Bronx, New York.
Stephen Miller appeared on Fox News to declare that no president in living memory has done more for Middle East peace than Trump. Ben Meiselas called it absurd — pointing to Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Ukraine, and Iran as evidence of an expanding world war.
When Trump backed down on Iran, Fox News needed a scapegoat — and settled on JD Vance. Panelists were baffled that Vance went on Joe Rogan to argue against regime change, with one host saying he was 'going off base a lot.'
Fox News personalities who spent weeks hyping a massive Iran strike are now furious that Trump backed down. From calling for the destruction of nuclear power plants to blaming JD Vance, the meltdown is playing out live on air.
The New York Times reported — and MeidasTouch had been covering — that the US military has effectively run out of munitions. Iran has been systematically destroying US interceptor capabilities at regional bases, leaving Trump unable to escalate even if he wanted to.
Fox News panelist Mark Thiessen argued Americans should be willing to pay $4 a gallon for months to disarm Iran. If they can't stomach that, the US is no longer a superpower — a claim that drew immediate mockery from Ben Meiselas.
Despite claims in June 2025 that Iran's nuclear program had been obliterated, Netanyahu is reportedly travelling to Washington to tell Trump that Iran is once again on the verge of a nuclear weapon. Ben Meiselas calls it a Twilight Zone repeat of old manipulation tactics.
Fox News hosts called Trump's White House Correspondents' Dinner speech a triumph. Ben Meiselas countered that it was the worst speech in world history — and that many of the bad jokes were plagiarized to boot.
Ukrainian strikes on Iranian ships in the Caspian Sea are fusing the Middle East conflict with Russia's Ukraine invasion into a single global war. Ben Meiselas argues this is the direct result of Trump's foreign policy failures.
