Summary

Fox News cut away from Trump's victory speech in South Carolina to correct his lies, in real time. And call out his election denials.

What's going on between the TV channel and their former hero - and how long will it last.

Also on the episode - why is Biden talking about a Gaza peace deal in an ice cream parlour and who is the Republican senator saying he backs the Alabama court decision to stop IVF despite wanting more children in his state.

There's so much going on this week, and that's before we even start to discuss the Uncommitted of Michigan.... and why it could be Biden's downfall.

Editor: Gabriel Radus

Video Production: Shane Fennelly

Well, I hope by the beginning of the weekend, I mean the end of the weekend.

0:11.0

At least my national security advisors tell to me that we're close, we're close, not done yet.

0:17.0

And my hope is by next Monday we'll have a ceasefire.

0:22.0

Okay, thank you.

0:28.5

This is possibly one of the most significant things that has ever been said in such an insignificant place.

0:32.2

That was an ice cream parlour in New York.

0:40.3

The president had a cone in his hand, and he's talking about the possibility of a ceasefire in Gaza by next Monday. Yeah, not since the Blair Brown dual Mr. Whippy of 2005 election days.

0:49.3

Have we seen two such senior political figures wielding their cones? We're going to explain to you the significance

0:57.0

of all of this right now. Welcome to Newsagents USA. It's John. It's Emily. And what is more

1:09.5

quintessentially American than an ice cream parlour?

1:13.1

You don't tend to see the president there with his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, discussing peace in the Middle East.

1:20.7

Yeah.

1:20.9

But we should give you a peek behind the curtain because my suspicion is that somebody on the presidential team might have had a quiet whisper to a journalist

1:29.8

and said, oh, you might want to ask the president a question about the peace deal. And you can

1:35.5

imagine as a journalist feeling slightly sort of shy about doing this, slightly kind of, am I being

1:41.1

set up here because he's in the middle of an ice cream parour, but asks it anyway. And Joe Biden comes out and says, with quite clear, definitive timing,

1:53.9

that we should expect within the next six or seven days to see the result of a peace deal between Israel and Hamas.

2:03.4

It's worth trying to deconstruct why. I know you've got a theory about why, and we'll come to that in a second.

2:09.2

I just wondered whether it was Joe Biden being loose-tonged, because he has been loose-tonged before about it for no particular purpose. And if it doesn't happen on Monday,

2:21.3

then people are going to feel, oh, you know, things have gone wrong again. And so to build up hope
