When Fox News abruptly fired Tucker Carlson in April 2023, the timing wasn’t just suspicious; it was glaring. Red flags were waving everywhere. It all started around the time he was airing never-before-seen footage from January 6th, exposing cracks in the official narrative. At the time, many suspected Tucker’s termination wasn’t just about ratings or contracts; it was about control. Now, thanks to Tucker himself, we know those suspicions were dead on. Maybe more so than you ever realized. ... According to Tucker, right after he was fired, Rupert Murdoch approached him and asked him to run against President Trump....

Sen. John Fetterman acknowledged Monday that “parts” of the Democratic Party’s base have turned their backs on Israel, an issue he described as one of “moral clarity” for him. Fetterman (D-Pa.) argued during a bipartisan “The Senate Project” event with Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) that those who lament the “tragedy in Gaza” should blame Hamas and its benefactor, Iran. “The Jewish community must feel constantly under assault,” said Fetterman, 55, during the event, which was streamed on Fox Nation and moderated by “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream. “I visited Penn, and I said hello with 300 [Jewish] students, and...

Billionaire Barry Diller has come out as gay - but insists he enjoyed a full sexual relationship with fashion designer wife Diane Von Furstenberg. Diller, a renowned media exec who previously served as CEO for both Fox and Paramount, opened up about his homosexuality in a soul-baring article penned for New York magazine Tuesday. The 83-year-old credited with creating the Fox channel wrote of Von Furstenberg: 'While there have been a good many men in my life, there has only ever been one woman. 'And she didn’t come into my life until I was 33 years old.' Diller and Von...

Fox Business senior correspondent Charles Gasparino reported on Thursday that President Donald Trump’s administration is giving insider information to Wall Street executives about ongoing trade deals. Citing “senior Wall Street execs with ties to the White House,” Gasparino wrote on X that people within Trump’s administration have alerted business leaders about an “agreement in principle with India.” He further reported that the deal could be used as a template for other trade deals the administration is working on with Japan and other countries. Markets have taken sharp hits amid uncertainty surrounding Trump’s tariffs and trade deals. “People inside the Trump...

Watch VideoFox News host Mark Levin gives his take on the judicial branch’s role on ‘Life, Liberty & Levin.’

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s Health Secretary pick, just launched a bombshell move to ban Big Pharma ads on TV, and it’s a direct strike at the heart of networks like CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC—leaving Trump supporters cheering and the left in panic. In a video, Patrick Bet-David exposes the dirty truth: “Big Pharma is keeping Cable TV in business. 75% of ad revenue on cable television comes from the Pharmaceutical Industry.” That’s $4.5 billion in 2022 alone, per MediaRadar, propping up these networks while they push drugs like Ozempic.

A growing rift between Trump and Fox News? NEWSMAX's Bob Brooks takes a look at the combative exchanges and harsh criticisms

“The quick-wittedness that he has is really second to none,” People fully grasp how serious and thoughtful he is about what he does. He can be informative; he can be offensive; he can be hilarious. He’s certainly going to be provocative. But at the base level, it’s based on preparation as much as anything else.”

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch's desired plan for succession would have left oldest son Lachlan in control of Fox News and News Corp. But a recent court ruling and family in-fighting will likely leave his news empire in control of his left-leaning children who have vowed to radically change the network, according to press reports out last week. Last year a Nevada court ruled the 93-year-old billionaire could not change his family trust after Murdoch sought to give his elder son, Lachlan, 52, control over his public companies. Lachlan is a Republican who is said to hold his father's conservative views....

Washington -- President-elect Donald Trump wants to travel to China after he takes office as part of his effort to deepen relations with Beijing, and also has talked to advisors about visit to India, a media report said Saturday. Trump, who arrived at the Dulles International Airport aboard a special plane along with First Lady Melania and son Barron, had during his election campaign threatened to impose additional tariffs on China. “President-elect Donald Trump has told advisors he wants to travel to China after he takes office, according to people familiar with the discussions, seeking to deepen a relationship with...

Will Cain, a popular co-host of the weekend edition of "Fox & Friends" will take over the 4 p.m. slot at Fox News Channel anchored for many years by Neil Cavuto, part of a series of programming changes in daytime and weekends at both the network and its sister outlet Fox Business Network.

Despite Donald Trump’s landslide victory over Kamala Harris in November, it’s possible he may not become president on Jan. 20 if there’ still no speaker of the House who has certified the election results. That alarm is being sounded on national TV as Mike Johnson, the current speaker of the House, is facing the threat of not being voted as speaker again this Friday. On “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel, host Jason Chaffetz quoted Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram who said: “The House absolutely, unequivocally cannot do anything until it elects a speaker, period. This...

DNC National Finance Committee member and Harris campaign fundraiser Lindy Li analyzed what went wrong with Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign that led to the "epic disaster" against President-elect Donald Trump this week. Li told Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Will Cain on Saturday that multiple factors doomed the campaign in her opinion, including Biden’s choice for Harris to be his successor, the Harris campaign’s overconfidence in their polling data, and former President Obama’s delay in endorsing the vice president as the Democratic candidate. "The truth is, this is just an epic disaster – this is a $1 billion disaster,"...

One of the people Vice President Kamala Harris might want to thank in her victory speech, if she wins the election, is Fox News anchor Bret Baier. His combative interview Wednesday gave Harris the chance to display qualities — and present facts — that Donald Trump desperately wants to keep hidden from the network’s millions of viewers.Don’t take it from me; take it from Baier himself. He said afterward that he thought Harris came to the interview seeking “a viral moment” and added: “I think she may have gotten that.”Baier was surely referring to the exchange about Trump’s repeated threat...

Kamala Harris sat for an interview by Bret Baier for Special Report on Fox News yesterday. I have posted the video below. Baier was, well, loaded for bear. I thought he did an excellent job within the time allowed. I have just a few thoughts and observations. This was Harris’s first interview on Fox News. I take it that her appearance in this venue is a sign that her campaign is not going altogether swimmingly. The interview was something of a calculated risk. Harris’s handlers have heretofore kept her from close encounters of the Fox News kind. They know she...

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...

A recent Fox News poll shows Donald Trump pulling ahead of Kamala Harris in a 4-point swing, shaking up the dynamics of the presidential race. The poll, conducted between October 11 and 14 among 1,110 registered voters and 870 likely voters, shows that Trump is leading Harris by 2 points among registered and likely voters, on 50 percent to her 48 percent, a 4-point swing from when Harris was leading Trump by 2 points a month ago. Although Trump has seen a jump in the polls, his lead is still within the margin of error of plus or minus 3...
