Hey guys I'm trying to find a specific video genre but I'm not sure what to type in but I'm curious on how to make them. I'll try to explain it the best I can below:
Does this ring a bell to anyone? I would love to try and make these type of videos and was hoping there would be tutorials of some sort but I'm not sure what to type into Google.
I wondered if you could help me. I was SURE I saw the video of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying "They want you to panic, but President Trump wants you to remember Jesus didn’t have electricity either and he did just fine." I'm finding a lot of other people really believe they saw this also. But there's no trace of it. And every google search brings up broken links. Has anyone else seen this video and more importantly do you have a copy of it?
Edit: After watching the press conference again on C-span, I could not find her saying that. So the only options to solve this mystery are 1. C-span has been compromised and agreed to edit out the ridiculous remark 2. The video clip I saw was a deep fake... I believe option 2 is the most reasonable option. Karoline Leavitt did not say the Jesus electricity line and it was a deep fake... to the best of my reasoning skills.

Reporting on this topic has been shamefully lazy. There’s just general reporting of “outrage” instead of asking pertinent questions… DO THE WORK!
What specific, measurable benchmarks must Canada and Mexico meet for the tariffs to be lifted? (This should be asked by every journalist from every outlet at every available moment)
Will the administration commit to redistributing tariff revenue directly to the bottom 75% of U.S. households to offset increased consumer costs? If not, where exactly will the tariff revenue go?
Does the administration acknowledge that tariffs act as a regressive tax, disproportionately impacting lower- and middle-income Americans?
What specific mechanisms, such as direct rebates or tax credits, is the administration considering to prevent tariffs from worsening inflation for working families?
Will the government provide a transparent accounting of how tariff revenue is spent, and will there be an independent review to assess whether it benefits the average American?
How will the administration prevent corporations from using tariffs as an excuse to further increase prices beyond cost burdens, exacerbating corporate profiteering?
Will there be additional subsidies or direct payments to US manufacturers to offset any retaliatory tariffs placed by Canada and Mexico?
How does the administration plan to prevent these tariffs from fueling inflation further?
How will you ensure that tariff revenue is not simply absorbed into general government spending but is meaningfully redistributed to offset consumer costs?
If economic retaliation from Mexico and Canada occurs, what industries does the administration expect to be hardest hit, and what is the plan to mitigate damage?

Hey CBS News! Bring back Norah O’Donnell. Just watched the new format with John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois. Are you kidding me. Silly tag team news. Dumb format. Ridiculous. You fired Norah and then you do this? Seriously? Fire the news producer! Norah is a class act on the nightly news. Lester Holt on NBC seems like a fine person, but David Muir is a prima donna, had to have his jacket pinned to make him look slimmer while reporting on middle of SoCal fires, what a narcissist. Bring back Norah!
