    Bret Baier Suggests Trump Is The ‘Holdup’ In Potential Fox News Presidential Debate

    Fox News anchor Bret Baier suggested this week that former President Donald Trump may be the “holdup” preventing a potential Fox News debate between him and Vice President Kamala Harris. During an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, Baier expressed his belief that the Harris campaign would likely agree to a debate on Fox News.

    “I actually believe – this is me talking – that the Harris campaign would do a Fox debate,” Baier said, adding that Trump seems hesitant to move forward with the idea.

    Others feel differently, as The Daily Caller reports:

    CNN’s Chris Wallace said on Sept. 13 that there is no chance that Harris will debate Trump on Fox News.

    “I would say that there is an absolutely 0%, what’s lower than 0, chance that she would agree to debate on Fox,” Wallace said. “Let me tell you a quick story. Back in 2019 when she was running, the president of Fox News and I, who was seen as being pretty even handed, went to meet with a bunch of the Democrats to try and get them to do town halls or do an interview. [Democratic Massachusetts Sen.] Elizabeth Warren met with us, [independent Vermont Sen.] Bernie Sanders met with us, the only Democrat who refused to meet with us off-the-record just to consider the possibility of going on Fox was Kamala Harris. There is a 0% chance that she will agree to an interview on Fox.”

    Harris accepted an Oct. 23 debate with CNN, but Trump said it is “too late” because of how close it would be to the November election.

    “As President Trump has said, only losers request a rematch. Kamala Harris lost the debate, and she knows it,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign national press secretary, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

    Following the Sept. 10 debate on ABC News, Trump has declared there will be no further debates. Meanwhile, Harris has agreed to a CNN debate on Oct. 23. A prior Fox News debate proposal, which Trump had agreed to, never materialized.

      Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, April 2, the same day as the Wisconsin presidential primary.

      Preparations are underway for a 5 p.m. rally at the Hyatt Regency’s KI Convention Center, a sprawling 80,000-square-foot venue in the heart of downtown Green Bay, capable of accommodating almost any crowd.

      Naturally, Biden for President Wisconsin Press Secretary Timothy White tried to steal Trump’s thunder by issuing a scornful statement to WLUK Green Bay:

      After many visits to Wisconsin from President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democratic leaders, Donald Trump finally decided to make time to visit our state in between his busy schedule of hiding out in his country club, calling for cuts to Social Security, and calling into white supremacist radio shows to spew antisemitism. This November, Wisconsin will send him packing just like we did in 2020.

      Tickers are available here. Attendees can register for up to two tickets per mobile phone number. All tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

      Pro-Trump Rapper Kanye West Turns on Jared Kushner

        High-profile rapper and clothing designer Kanye West has found himself in the spotlight yet again.

        During a highly-anticipated interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, West harshly criticized former President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner alleging he only supported and pursued peace deals between Israel and several Arab states for his own personal profit.

        “When I think about all of these things that Jared somehow doesn’t get enough credit for with his work — what is it his work? In Israel, what is this, in Palestine, you know where he made his peace treaties? do you know the facts on this right here?”

        “I just think it was to make money,” West said.

        West then reflected on a recent dinner he attended in Miami with Kushner, his wike Ivanka Trump and his brother Josh.

        “After talking to them and really sitting with Jared and sitting with Josh and finding out other pieces of information, I was like, wow, these guys might have really been holding Trump back, being very much a handler,” West said. “They love to look at me or look at Trump like we are so crazy and they are the businessmen.”

        “I think that’s what they are about is making money, I don’t think they have the ability to make anything on their own,” he continued. “I think they were born into money.”

        West’s criticism of Kushner’s work in the Middle East follows similar allegations levied against the former Trump admin. senior adviser by The Wall Street Journal that he was motivated by “post-employment interests.”

        Since leaving office Kushner launched a private equity firm, Affinity Partners, which landed a $2 billion investment from a Saudi Arabian wealth fund. The House Oversight Committee is investigating the investment.

        Trump is hard at work crafting his new administration.

        House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) is in contention for a role in the new Trump administration, Fox News Digital is told.

        She is now being discussed as a potential candidate for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, two people familiar with such discussions told Fox News.

        One said Stefanik was “high on the list” of potential candidates.

        Fox News Digital was also told that another House member, retired Green Beret Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) is in consideration for a Trump administration role. Waltz is being looked at as a potential candidate for Defense secretary, though Trump is also considering options from the private sector and others, Fox News Digital was told.

        Trump-Vance transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital when asked for comment about the possible appointments, “President-Elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second Administration soon. Those decisions will be announced when they are made.”

        Tucker Carlson To Make First Public Appearance After Fox News Exit

          Tucker Carlson is back.

          Sort of, at least.

          While his presence on cable news remains sorely missed by millions, the dethroned Fox News (FNC) host is poised to speak publicly for the first time since his dismissal by network executives.

          As Mediaite’s Candice Oritz reports:

          According to The Daily Caller, a website Carlson co-founded in 2010, Carlson will give a speech at an Alabama fundraiser for the Rainbow Omega foundation.

          Rainbow Omega is an organization that aims to help adults with “developmental and intellectual disabilities.” The fundraiser will take place at the Oxford Performing Arts Center in Oxford, Alabama.

          This appearance will be the first public event Carlson has attended since his abrupt exit from Fox News last Monday. Multiple sources told Mediaite that he was fired.

          Rumors have swirled since the shocking cable news shakeup, but no specific reason for his termination has been confirmed.

          The news follows leaked video footage by Media Matters for America of Carlson’s behind-the-scenes banter with FNC employees and TV personalities while the cameras were rolling but he wasn’t on-air.

          However, even some of his harshest critics argue the footage amounts to a big ole nothing burger.

          A significant snub…

          Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will not be attending President-elect Trump’s inauguration on Monday, her spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.

          Pelosi’s spokesperson did not share a reason for the former Democrat leader skipping the Monday event. The former Speaker attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.

          Senior leaders of both parties typically attend presidential inaugurations, though Trump skipped President Biden’s inaugural event in 2021.

          Former first lady Michelle Obama also won’t be attending Trump’s second inauguration, though former President Obama will attend

          News of Pelosi not attending was first reported by ABC News.

          Trump Awards Charlie Kirk Presidential Medal Of Freedom

            The White House posthumously awarded late political activist Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor

            “Although he was taken from us far too soon, his legacy will inspire generations to come and outlive us all,” “The Charlie Kirk Show” executive producer Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital. “He represents the very best of America and is deserving of this and every other possible accolade. Thank you to President Trump for quite literally shifting world events to honor Charlie on what would have been his 32nd birthday.” 

            “Only Charlie could do that,” Kolvet added. 

            Kirk was assassinated Sept. 10 while attending a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University’s campus. The conservative movement leader was sitting under a tent while chatting with students when a shot rang out and struck Kirk in the neck, killing him.

            Trump announced in September that he would posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, calling him “a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.” 

            “I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on,” Trump said Sept. 11 when announcing he would award Kirk the honor. 

            TPUSA’s Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer told Fox Digital that the award ceremony will be felt by every youth who has been involved with the conservative advocacy group. 

            “Charlie will be honored today on behalf of the millions of conservative activists he helped lift up to save the movement and the country. Today in the White House this award will be felt by every young man and young woman who was impacted by his work. They can wear it too by carrying on doing the work,” Bowyer said. 

            David Engelhardt, lead pastor of Kings’ Church New York City and board member of TPUSA, told Fox News Digital that it’s a “profound privilege to be able to witness this moment recognizing Charlie’s courage, conviction, and leadership in defense of faith and freedom.”

            The award ceremony was held at the White House and came on the heels of Trump’s return from the Middle East earlier Tuesday after Trump announced an end to the war in Gaza, which has raged since 2023.

            Progressive Veterans Group is Pushing to Ban Fox News from Miltary Bases

              A progressive veterans organization is pushing to ban the airing of Fox News on U.S. military bases.

              According to The Hill, a new ad by the group VoteVets hones in on recent revelations made as part of a legal fight the network faces over its coverage of the 2020 election.

              A narrator for the ad says Fox engaged in “information warfare that divides the troops, hurts unit cohesion, weakens our readiness, and threatens our national security.”

              “There’s no excuse for allowing anti-American, anti-democracy anti-military disinformation in the barracks, in the chow hall or anywhere our troops serve,” the ad says.

              Watch the ad here below:

              Fox News is currently embroiled in a 1.6 billion defamation suit against Dominion Voting Systems. The company has argued Fox intentionally aired false claims about the company regarding the 2020 election.

              Fox has so far unsuccessfully moved to have the case dismissed on First Amendment grounds.

              Fox released the following statement on the ongoing legal matter:

              “Dominion’s lawsuit has always been more about what will generate headlines than what can withstand legal and factual scrutiny, as illustrated by them now being forced to slash their fanciful damages demand by more than half a billion dollars after their own expert debunked its implausible claims,” the network said in its most recent statement about the case.

              “Their summary judgment motion took an extreme, unsupported view of defamation law that would prevent journalists from basic reporting and their efforts to publicly smear Fox for covering and commenting on allegations by a sitting President of the United States should be recognized for what it is: a blatant violation of the First Amendment.”

              Recent court documents from the ongoing dispute revealed some network executives and prime-time lineup privately doubted former President Donald Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud after losing reelection. However, some of them expressed fear that any fact-checkers might alienate their audience.

              American Liberty News previously reported that at one point, Laura Ingraham’s producer messaged network management, saying her “BS” about the election would wind up giving him “a f*cking aneurysm.”

              Around the same time, Tucker Carlson wanted Fox News’ prime-time hosts to pressure network execs to fire reporter Jacqui Heinrich for fact-checking Trump.

              “Please get her fired,” Carlson messaged Sean Hannity. “Seriously… What the f*ck?”

              Verdict Reached In Hunter Biden Gun Trial

                Minutes ago, Hunter Biden arrived at the Wilmington, Delaware, courthouse following confirmation that a verdict has been reached in his gun trial.

                Biden has been found guilty on all three felony charges following three hours of jury deliberation.

                “A federal jury has convicted Hunter Biden on all three federal felony gun charges he faced, concluding that he violated laws meant to prevent drug addicts from owning firearms,” CNN reported.

                The charges against Biden were as follows:

                • Count One: False Statement Material to Firearms Sale (max prison sentence: 10 years)
                • Count Two: False Statement in Firearms Transaction Record (max prison sentence: 5 years)
                • Count Three: Possession of a Firearm by a Drug User or Drug Addict (max prison sentence 10 years)

                Besides 25 years behind bars, the president’s son also faces up to $750,000 in fines.

                Legal experts like Oleg Nekritin believe it’s unlikely that Biden will face prison time: “Conviction for this type of crime generally does not result in a prison sentence. Mr. Biden’s calculated risk to try this case is a good one, the court’s venue is in Delaware, where his family is still popular, and the alleged crime does not involve a victim.”

                President Joe Biden has previously vowed not to pardon his son.
