BRET BAIER: “I just spoke to President Trump. One thing the president was aware of Israel's action before it happened.” “He gave me a quote. He said: ‘Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb. We're hoping to get back to the negotiating table.’” “The President is looking to see if there is retaliation... the US will defend itself and Israel if Iran retaliates."

Full President Trump Super Bowl pre-game interview with Bret Baier Feb 9, 2025

Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live as Fox News anchor Bret Baier during the show’s cold open, which spoofed the testy interview with Kamala Harris (Maya Rudolph). “When I interviewed President Trump, my first question was, what do you think is the most important issue facing our nation? So my first question for you is, give me the exact number of murderers you let loose in this country?” Baier asks the vice president. However, as Harris attempts to answer, the Special Report with Bret Baier host continues to interrupt her, similar to his real interview with the vice president...

The Fox News interview with Kamala Harris set a record for the 2024 campaign as the most-watched media appearance to date, drawing a total audience of 7.8 million viewers, outperforming Harris’ appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes (5.7 million viewers), ABC’s The View (3.1 million viewers) and CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Special Report made news itself—both for Harris’ decision to speak to Fox, and for the often contentious questioning by Baier, leading Harris to object to the host’s talking over her when she was trying to answer his question.

A few months into Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential run, her handlers faced a dilemma. Should they continue cocooning the candidate or unleash her on the public? Both options came with serious political risks. Sure, Democrats could keep pretending Harris was a generational talent, but her refusal to sit down for an interview, much less give a press conference, was eroding this fantasy. On the other hand, as her handlers surely understood, the more people hear from Harris, the more concerned they tend to get. Indeed, Harris is a thermonuclear platitude dispenser. Few people in American history have expended so many...

I could tell within 30 seconds that the Harris-Walz campaign was going to regret having Kamala do an interview on Fox News. Frankly, based on what we know now, they were clearly regretting the decision before the interview started. As we reported last night, Bret Baier revealed that the Harris campaign conspicuously showed up late for the interview and then desperately tried to end it early. Naturally, Harris allies in the media have been trying hard to spin the interview as a positive for her, but the real reason you can tell that Kamala's supporters know the interview was a...

Of All the Threads Taking Kamala and Her 'TESTY' Fox News Interview APART, THIS One Is the Most DAMNINGAs Twitchy readers (and pretty much any person on the planet who isn't completely brainwashed by the Democrat propaganda agenda) know, Kamala Harris did NOT have the best interview with Fox News' Bret Baier. In fact, you could say it was downright AWFUL. A train wreck. The dumpster fire to end all dumpster fires. It. Was. BAD. And in case you missed it (luck you), Twitchy favorite @VigilantFox put together the most spot-on thread about the interview with actual clips we've seen...

SOSDD another FUBAR for Harris. To label the interview that happened yesterday between Bret Baier and Kamala Harris a shit show, would be a insult to shit shows. It has been obvious since well before Kamala Harris made her presidential bid in 2020, that she was not a mental giant. It was also obvious she was not a very likable human being. Reports of her treatment of staff and those she views as beneath her abound and have been in the news her entire political career. The veneer spackled heavily on Harris since the decision to replace Biden has been...

CNN's Kaitlan Collins wasn't happy with how Fox News handled its interview with Kamala Harris. The anchor specifically called out Fox's Bret Baier for not playing Donald Trump's original 'enemy within' comments when asking the vice president to respond to his reaction to her criticism of his remarks. Baier's under 30-minute interview with Harris on Wednesday was extremely contentious.

There’s no longer any denying that she’s a mindless, superficial candidate who instills no confidence. =================================================================== What happened Wednesday night to Kamala Harris on Fox News may have been the equivalent to what happened to President Joe Biden at that infamous debate in June — irreparably exposed her as unacceptable to voters. In what was widely seen as a Hail Mary move by Kamala’s campaign, the vice president agreed to an extended interview on Fox News, one of the exceedingly few national TV interviews she’s done since she was anointed the Democrat Party’s post-Biden nominee. Remarkably, she offered nothing new...

Shades of a football coach explaining away his team's loss by blaming the refs. Rather than focusing on Kamala Harris's evasive performance in her Fox News interview, today's Morning Joe trained its fire on Bret Baier. Mika led the hit parade, branding Bret's performance an "embarrassing, bad-faith effort by a once-respected host." She also claimed that Baier is "a man who spent his life as a down-the-middle journalist, seeming to throw it all away for his audience of one [i.e., Trump.]" Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Fox News host Bret Baier revealed some rocky details about his interview with Kamala Harris , including that she showed up very late for their sit-down and that she tried to filibuster with her answers to prevent him from pressing her on hot-button issues. Baier suggested it was like the vice president's team was trying to 'ice the kicker,' comparing it to a football coach calling a timeout before a field goal attempt in an NFL game to give the kicker time to prepare for the big play. He also said if he didn't frequently interrupt the VP, he likely...

In her first formal sit-down interview with Fox News, Vice President Harris tangled repeatedly with anchor Bret Baier as he pressed her on immigration policy and positions she took in 2019 when she was running for president that she no longer holds. About half-way through the intense 30-minute interview, Baier asked Harris a question she didn’t answer very well in more friendly interviews last week on The View and on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: What would she do differently from President Biden? This time, she was prepared.

On the menu today: We didn’t get a second debate between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, but perhaps last night gave us something even better — Harris forced to face tough questions about the Biden administration’s record from a questioner who cared about the details and wasn’t going to let her filibuster. Meanwhile, speaking before a union in Philadelphia, President Biden boasts that he can’t wait to see Donald Trump get sentenced for his felony convictions. For a long stretch, Americans have hungered for real leadership. We’ve yearned for a figure who was sharp, well-versed on all the...

Pete Wehner, a former speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, wrote on X that Kamala Harris "dominated" Fox News host Bret Baier during an interview on Wednesday. "My take: Bret Baier has rarely looked as bad (or tendentious) as he did in his interview with Kamala Harris," Wehner wrote on X. "On the flip side, this was one of her best interviews. She dominated Bret. All in all it was quite a bad day for MAGA world's most important media outlet," Wehner posted on X Harris and Baier shared a combative 30-minute exchange in...

Host of Fox News "Special Report" Bret Baier finally snagged that interview with Vice President and selected Democrat nominee Kamala Harris. Harris was campaigning in Washington Crossing, PA and was proud of the former Republicans and Trump administration people who took the stage with her and happy with their endorsement, delighted in their support of her as a presidential candidate. The entire interview was a train wreck, but there were particular moments that were exceptionally cringeworthy, damaging, and proved with glaring certainty why she is unfit to lead. Baier started off with the topic of illegal immigration, and you could...

Fox News host Bret Baier shared details about how Vice President Kamala Harris' team were desperately trying to get the Fox News interview to wrap up after their testy sit-down in Pennsylvania. The Democratic presidential nominee joined the Special Report host for her first interview ever on the conservative network on Wednesday. The pair spoke over each other numerous times as Baier grilled the 59-year-old on multiple topics including immigration right out of the gate. 'I'm talking like four people waving their hands like "it's got to stop,"' Baier described to his panel about how the interview ended after it...

The contentious high-drama interview between Fox News anchor Bret Baier and Vice President Kamala Harris drew immediate attention and reactions online after it aired on Wednesday night. Meanwhile she tore into Donald Trump for being totally 'unfit to serve' as president for a second term because he's 'dangerous.' It was a contentious 30 minutes as the current VP worked to distance herself from Biden, saying her presidency would not 'be a continuation' while defending the administration's policies. The first testy moment started after a brawl over the Biden-Harris administration immigration policies. 'Kamala Harris just ran into a Bret Baier buzzsaw...

Kamala Harris’s senior campaign adviser complained that Wednesday’s much anticipated Fox News interview with Harris was an “ambush” after Fox’s Bret Baier repeatedly pressed Harris to directly answer questions. David Plouffe, former President Barack Obama’s campaign mastermind who joined Harris’s presidential campaign in August, made the charge after a half-hour interview in which Harris seemed to grow frustrated after being unable to answer Baier’s questions about her record.
