California Governor Gavin Newsom is suing the parent company of the Fox News Channel over a statement made on one of its prime-time commentary programs that related to recent civil unrest in Los Angeles.

The lawsuit, filed in Delaware, where Fox is incorporated, is seeking at least $787 million in damages — an amount nearly identical to how much Fox paid to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by a voting machine manufacturer two years ago.

In a complaint, Newsom contends that Fox misrepresented a statement he wrote on social media in response to one made by President Donald Trump earlier this month. The statement concerned phone calls and coordination around deployment of U.S. Marines to Los Angeles during unrest over immigration raids...

For channels like Fox News and MSNBC, the battle for news-hungry viewers has moved beyond the TV screen. The top cable and network news outlets are increasingly fighting for viewers on YouTube, which has established itself as the go-to hub for all-things television in 2025.

Fox News, just as it does versus traditional linear broadcasters, leads the way when it comes to YouTube. As the midway point of 2025 approaches, the network’s YouTube channel so far this year has racked up 2.3 billion views on the Google-owned platform, more than doubling the number of views it had at the same time last year, according to data from Emplifi, a company that tracks social media metrics.

Its 109% jump in YouTube views year-over-year helped Fox News leapfrog over MSNBC — which had led all news channels on YouTube in 2024 — as the top mainstream outlet on the platform so far this year.

While Emplifi did not provide age demographics,...

Updated: The United States has carried out three strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran, joining Israel as it tries to halt Tehran’s ability to obtain an atomic weapon, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social.

The bombing has raised fears that the Iranian regime will retaliate with strikes on U.S. targets.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space,” Trump wrote. “A full payload of Bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. Now Is The Time For Peace! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Trump is due to speak at 10 p.m. Et/7 p.m. Pt this evening.

As President Donald Trump weighs sending U.S. forces to help Israel bomb Iran — and potentially plunge the nation into a new war — his decision is being influenced by bellicose on-air content at Fox News. The favored network of the president has put forth a parade of hosts, guests, and professional commentators with an effusively pro-war and pro-regime change message.

According to an administration official and another close associate of the commander-in-chief, Trump’s heavy consumption of Fox News content is increasing his appetite for direct military confrontation with Iran.

It’s a hot-as-fuck Los Angeles morning. Near 80 degrees at 8 a.m., and Stephen A. Smith is having half of a lightly jellied bagel. We’re near a big-ass private park that abuts a 40-story black glass building rumored to house or have housed NBA super-agents, pop stars, white-hot young creators, and various and sundry Middle Eastern royalty. The structure feels too tall for the quaky City of Angels, and one can only hope it stays as unshakable as its most garrulous current resident, Stephen A. Smith.

Donald Trump responded to Tucker Carlson’s criticism of the administration’s support of Israeli strikes on Iran, with the president getting in a dig at the media personality’s post-Fox News career.

“I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying,” Trump said, as he attended the G7 summit in Canada on Monday. “Let him go get a television network and say it so that people listen.”

Later, Trump posted on Truth Social, “Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘Iran Can Not Have A Nuclear Weapon!'”

Since Israel launched its attacks on Iran, Carlson, a Trump supporter, has warned of U.S. involvement, underscoring a split in the Maga movement.

On Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast earlier Monday, Carlson said that he actually does “really love Trump. He is a deeply humane, kind person, and I am saying this because I am really afraid...

Fox has long been known for established content franchises that range from Gordon Ramsay to Sean Hannity. Now the company is casting about in a very different sort of pool.

Fox Advertising has made what it calls a strategic investment in The Lighthouse, a studio and campus designed specifically for creators that is part of the portfolio of Whalar Group, an independent company that develops influencers and other content personalities. Fox’s investment will also support the launch of an initiative aimed at developing franchise tied to creators across Fox’ content offerings.

Fox did not reveal the financial terms of the deal. The company has seemed newly interested in aligning itself with individual content creators in recent months, In February, Fox Corp. said it would acquire Red Seat Ventures, a digital media company that helps manage business concerns for a bevy of news personalities who have gone independent, including the...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s bromance appears to be over after the president and the world’s richest man went after each other with a vengeance on Thursday. Trump implied Musk’s opposition to his legislative agenda is the result of Trump Derangement Syndrome, called the Tesla billionaire “Crazy,” and threatened to cancel Musk’s federal contracts. Musk called Trump “sad,” alleged the president is on the Epstein list, and even suggested he should be impeached.

It’s one of the wildest political breakups in recent memory, and, yes,...

The Trump Administration has formally accepted a $400 million jet gifted by Qatar after President Donald Trump declared that he was “embarrassed” by the current Air Force One.

Last week, Trump announced that he wanted to accept the $400 million “flying palace” Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar’s royal family, which the president will use as Air Force One.

Trump will use the aircraft, which is said to be the most luxurious private jet in the world, as a temporary presidential jet while Boeing finishes the next-generation Air Force One fleet after years of delays and cost overruns. The jet will then be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation when Trump leaves office.

“The plane that you are on right now is almost 40 years old,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity during an interview while the president traveled to Saudi Arabia on Air Force One.

“And when you land...

On Wednesday’s (May 14) edition of The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, the MSNBC host slammed President Donald Trump over his latest argument for accepting a $400 million jet from Qatar. “Donald Trump just offered a new defense tonight on social media for his desire to accept the biggest payoff in the history of the American presidency and possibly the literally biggest payoff in world history,” O’Donnell said, referring to the Boeing 747 being offered to Trump by Qatar’s royal family. “The first line of Donald Trump’s exclamation-point defense of accepting that plane tonight is: ‘The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, Not To Me!,'” O’Donnell continued, quoting Trump’s Truth Social post. The host added, “Of course, no one contradicts Donald Trump better than Donald Trump,” before airing a clip of the president on Air Force One talking to Fox News host Sean Hannity.

The ratings are in for Jen Psaki‘s first week in MSNBC’s 9 pm Et slot, and she’s holding steady in total viewers while moving up and down in the key demographic. After Rachel Maddow scaled back to Monday nights only last week, Psaki took over the Tuesday to Friday 9 pm slot. Maddow had been hosting five nights a week for the first 100 days of President Donald Trump‘s second term in the White House. Psaki, who previously served as former President Joe Biden’s White House press secretary, made a strong start with Tuesday’s (May 6) episode of The Briefing. According to AdWeek, citing Nielsen ratings, her debut episode reached 1.190 million total viewers and 139,000 viewers in the key adult 25-54 demo. The numbers dropped somewhat on Wednesday (May 7), with 1.015 million total viewers and 65,000 viewers in the key demo. It should be noted that Fox News’ Sean Hannity also...

Jeanine Pirro is exiting Fox News after 14 years to become interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. President Trump announced her appointment Thursday.

Pirro, a former country judge and district attorney from New York who has been a reliable supporter of Trump over the years, joined Fox News as a host in 2011. The first show he hosted for the network was “Justice With Judge Jeanine,” focusing on legal stories in the news. She most recently served as a co-host of “The Five,” which has routinely been the highest-rated program on cable news.

Trump announced Pirro, 73, as the new U.S. attorney for DC on Truth Social, his social media platform.

“I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia,” Trump wrote. “Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge,...

A new streaming bundle is entering the marketplace, combining a service for Fox News super-fans with a destination for talk radio, all in one place.

The satellite radio giant SiriusXM is launching the new bundle, which will include its app-only “All Access” plan, as well as a subscription to Fox Nation, for $11.99 per month. That is a 33 percent discount compared to the price of buying each plan separately, with the SiriusXM plan normally costing $9.99 per month and Fox Nation $7.99 per month.

SiriusXM of course has a slew of talk radio options, alongside its lineup of music and sports programming. That includes shows and channels hosted by the likes of Conan O’Brien, Howard Stern and Andy Cohen, but also channels like SiriusXM Patriot and Triumph, which feature shows from Megyn Kelly, Sean Hannity, and Nancy Grace.

For Fox News, President Trump’s first 100 days back in the White House were a big success — even when compared to his first term.

The ratings make that clear, with Fox News averaging more viewers — both in primetime and over the course of the entire day — during the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term than during the first 100 days following his 2017 inauguration.

In fact, Fox News just enjoyed the highest-rated first 100 days of any presidency in cable news history, surpassing the record it set in ’17.

Here are the key figures: Fox News has averaged 1.90 million viewers Mon-Sun since the president re-entered the White House on Jan. 20, which is up 13% compared to the 1.68 million the channel averaged during his first 100 days in office in ’17.

The channel’s primetime viewership has also increased 9% compared to 2017, going from an average of 2.81 million viewers each night to 3.06 million this year, according to Nielsen audience data.

Fox News Channel wants viewers to think of its hosts and anchors as the type of people you might see while taking in a football game, eating at the local diner, or even on board a military transport.

A new Fox News promo uses digital technology to insert Sean Hannity in a neighborhood eatery; Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino in front of what looks like a field of wheat; Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham at a football game; and Harris Faulkner on board what appears to be a Navy ship. The hosts talk about a new era “where common sense….” says Martha MacCallum, holding forth at a shopping center, “….meets common ground,” adds Bret Baier, her frequent co-anchor.

“This is a time to come together,” add the various hosts, who also include Greg Gutfeld, “for all America.”

Executives at Fox News hope to create the notion that there is a single,...

A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the Trump administration to return a second migrant who was deported to El Salvador’s notorious prison system despite a previous court settlement barring their removal.

It might be hard for the president and his officials to argue the ruling is the work of a radical left, activist judge, as Trump appointed her.

According to ABC News, Maryland District Judge Stephanie Gallagher ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of a man referred to as “Christian” in court records.

The day after the 2024 election, Jimmy Kimmel was on the verge of tears on his eponymous late night show as the host, who just earlier in the week had urged his audience to “move on already” from Donald Trump, as he reacted to the news that Trump had won a second term.

“It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants who make this country go,” Kimmel said, getting emotional. “For health care, for our climate, for scientists, for journalists, for justice, for free speech. It was a terrible night for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on Social Security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO and democracy and decency. It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him and guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him, too, you...

The stock market continues to fluctuate wildly amid Donald Trump’s tariffs, and while most people — including multiple Trump donors — have lost a lot of money because of it, some of the president’s loyalists are still defending the move. That made Seth Meyers roll his eyes pretty hard on Monday night.

During his “A Closer Look” segment, the NBC host noted that many “Wall Street realists” are suggesting a stoppage of the tariffs after the massive money loss, and projected future damage to the economy, including huge price hikes on just about everything.

“But on the other hand, you got Maga propagandists and true believers who have settled on a new message: maybe money isn’t so important after all!” Meyers said mockingly.

At that, a series of clips began playing, in which Trump allies asserted that “losing money costs you nothing,” and “you’ve got to give them a little bit of room,...

Fox News delivered its highest-rated quarter in cable news history for weekday total day viewers for the first quarter of 2025 while also being the fastest-growing network in television in primetime year-over-year. According to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News averaged 2.2 million viewers between Monday and Friday during Quarter 1. This is a new quarterly record, beating the previous number set by Fox News during Quarter 2 2020 when the channel averaged 2.17 million viewers. In addition, Fox News landed its highest quarter cable news share ever, with 65% of the audience in total day and 66% in primetime. The big ratings winners for the network were Sean Hannity‘s interview with President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, which averaged 5.4 million viewers, and Bret Baier‘s interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on February 28, which hit 6.4 million viewers at its peak. Several Fox News programs posted record ratings in Q1, with the late-night show Gutfeld! delivering its highest-rated...

Apparently dismantling the federal government is a lot easier than having a brief chat with the fifth-billed star of Death to Smoochy.

It’s been three weeks since Elon Musk publicly offered to guest on The Daily Show, after Jon Stewart’s lengthy takedown of the Trump administration’s Doge cuts. But Musk only agreed to appear on the Comedy Central show if the interview “airs unedited,” which wasn’t a problem since, as Stewart pointed out, “that’s actually how the in-studio interviews normally air.”

The Daily Show staff immediately took him up on said offer via a post on social media, and Stewart later reiterated that invitation on the air, claiming that he’d be “delighted” to have the chainsaw-wielding billionaire on the show. In retrospect, that may have been the best acting that Stewart has done since 1998’s The Faculty.

But Musk was a no-show. He...

The back-and-forth between Jimmy Kimmel and the Trump administration continued on Thursday night as the late night host took aim at Vice President Jd Vance for slamming Kimmel’s audience.

The war of words began earlier this week when Kimmel joked about Elon Musk’s plummeting Tesla stock in the wake of his Doge cuts on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Sean Hannity and the Right came out hard against the late night host, and Kimmel doubled down on Thursday night as he played clips of Fox News hosts and guests threatening anyone who vandalizes a Tesla with violence in return.

“But if you try to taser a cop on the steps of the capital, we’ve got your back,” Kimmel quipped before he made a nod to Maga’s similar Bud Light boycott (and the hypocrisy therein) and then segued into a segment about Vance.

“Everyone needs to crack open a Bud Light and relax already.

Jimmy Kimmel isn’t letting Elon Musk off the hook. The same goes for the conservatives who are apparently outraged at Kimmel for continuing to joke about Tesla owners destroying their cars in protest of Musk.

The Tesla owner tried to blame the vandalism on “some kind of mental illness,” but Kimmel noted that people are just mad at Musk for seemingly giving the Nazi salute twice at an inauguration event for Donald Trump. The late-night host also reminded Musk that he waved around a chainsaw earlier this year to celebrate the Department of Government Efficiency cutting government spending, which has resulted in thousands of job cuts from the federal workforce. So yeah, people just don’t like Musk and are taking it out on their Teslas in protest.

“Tesla is not having a good week,” Kimmel said in his latest monologue on March 20. “Today they issued a recall of nearly all 46,000 of their Cybertrucks.

Jimmy Kimmel trolled Elon Musk during his March 19 monologue for trying to “drum up sympathy” amid a wave of Tesla owners burning and vandalizing their cars in protest of Musk. The Tesla founder appeared in an interview with Sean Hannity and blamed the Tesla protests on owners with “some kind of mental illness.”

“Tesla is a peaceful company,” Musk said. “I’ve never done anything awful. I think we just have a deranged… there is some kind of mental illness thing going on here. It doesn’t make any sense.”

“Well, let me see if I can explain it for you,” Kimmel fired back at Musk. “When you pull out a chainsaw to celebrate firing thousands of people, they get mad. My god. I mean, this poor guy. You do one, maybe two Nazi salutes, everybody gets all bent out of shape!”

Kimmel was referring to two of Musk’s...

Elon Musk, who is leading Donald Trump’s unprecedented purge of the federal workforce, claimed it doesn’t make sense that people dislike him because he’s only ever “done productive things” and has “never done anything harmful.”

Americans — to an ever increasing proportion — disagree. As tens of thousands of federal employees and their families wait in limbo to see if they will retain (or regain) their jobs, the economy takes a downturn, entitlement programs are cut or crippled, and international aid is slashed with devastating consequences, Musk and the...

No matter how offensive he’s being, there’s just something about Triumph the Insult Comic Dog that people find charming. Ever since he first appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien in in 1997, he’s gotten away with humiliating Star Wars nerds and crashing political conventions mostly without consequence. He’s even managed to endear himself to everyone from Stephen Colbert to Mike Huckabee.

On occasion, however, Triumph — and, by extension, his performer Robert Smigel — have managed to antagonize the wrong person. And, instead of laughing things off, Triumph’s target has responded with genuine fury. Here are five such times when Triumph has truly pissed someone off, very much finding himself in the doghouse.

1 Security at the 1999 Westminster Dog Show Play

When Triumph attended the Westminster Dog Show in 1999, the Montenegrin Mountain Hound wasn’t yet the canine insult institution he is today, so not everyone was entertained by his antics.

Donald Trump, in his speech at the Department of Justice on Friday, said it “should be illegal” for people to criticize judges, adding that it “probably is illegal in some form.”

It’s not the first time the president has expressed this sentiment — on the campaign trail last year, Trump said people “should be put in jail” for criticizing the conservative justices on the Supreme Court.

Trump has, of course, consistently attacked the judges who presided over his criminal and civil cases. His comments Friday came just hours after his press secretary,...

“Many of us sacrificed our careers trying to take these people on and Newsom’s trying to make a career with them.”

That was former Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger reacting to California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom having the Trump White House’s onetime chief strategist Steve Bannon on his podcast today. Though a Republican, Kinzinger served on the the House Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack and has been vocal in his opposition to Trump’s claims of voter fraud and attempts to overturn the results.

Newsom has used his new podcast to engage with far Right figures, having unusually friendly conversations with his first two guests, Michael Savage and Charlie Kirk, as well as with Bannon this week. In a world that could use more bipartisanship, that kind of amity is arguably a good thing. But many, like Kinzinger, saw the Bannon interview as a betrayal.

As a major measles outbreak spreads out of West Texas into other states, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to spread a confusing message about vaccine safety. In an interview with Fox News that aired on Tuesday, Kennedy touted the vaccine — but also suggested that the best way to get lifetime immunity from the measles is to simply become infected with measles, and that the measles vaccine is dangerous to those who take it.

“It used to be — when you and I were kids — that everybody got measles. And...

Stephen A Smith. (Photo by Moody College of Communication via Wikimedia Commons)

Stephen A. Smith is not too humble to be candid about how his career began: As a beat reporter for several newspapers, covering high school and college sports, while living off canned tuna and Kool-Aid.

His aspirations were to eventually become a newspaper columnist, which would give him considerable leeway to express his opinion in a fashion that wasn’t acceptable as a hard-news sports journalist.

“When I became a columnist in 2003, I was the 21st African-American, 21st Black man, in this nation’s history, to become a general sports columnist,” Smith said during an interview with Howard Stern in 2019. “It was an incredible accomplishment — which is why, when you’ve got these bloggers out there, talking this sh-t sometimes, I remind folks, excuse me, I’m no blogger. I worked my way up to this point.”

His opinions did not go unnoticed.

Vice President Jd Vance has received criticism on social media after saying that the United Kingdom was a “random country” that had not fought a war in three or four decades. The UK and France are both drawing up a plan with Ukraine to present to the US, which would include a peacekeeping force made up of a currently unspecified “coalition of the willing.”

During a London summit of European leaders on March 2, the country’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a key player in pushing the plan, and French President Emmanuel Macron asserted that “a number of countries have indicated [on Sunday] that they want to be part of the plan that [they] are developing.”

“The UK has prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air together with others,” Starmer added. “Europe must do the heavy lifting, but to support peace in our continent and to succeed,...

Donald Trump ordered a “pause” on U.S. military aid to Ukraine on Monday, hoping to push Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky into agreeing to a peace deal with Russia.

The move comes only days after a contentious meeting between Trump, Jd Vance, and Zelensky in the Oval Office, which saw the U.S. leaders berating Zelensky, claiming that he was ungrateful for their help. The Trump administration has now apparently paused all military aid until the Ukrainian government is “committed” to the goal of peace.

The streamer has only grown by a few hundred thousand subscribers since February 2024.

Fox doesn’t offer an inside look at its streaming service Fox Nation all that often. The company is preparing to launch a new streaming service that will offer Fox Sports content and more, but Fox Nation isn’t going anywhere. Speaking at an investor conference in recent days, Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch revealed that the conservative news and lifestyle service Fox Nation has grown to somewhere between 2 million and 2.5 million subscribers.

iHeartMedia, the Am and FM giant powered by 870 radio stations and growing digital ambitions, saw its podcast revenue rise to $139.6 million in the fourth quarter, up about 6 percent year-over-year. The company cited increased demand from advertisers, even as it saw rising operating expenses due to content costs and podcast profit sharing costs.

The company reported total revenue of $1.118 billion, up 4.8 percent from the same frame last year. And CFO Rich Bressler said that iHeart had about $4.52 billion of net debt outstanding, which he described as “the lowest net debt position in the history of our company.”

On the company’s earnings call, video podcasts — a format that Spotify is pivoting toward and that YouTube claims 1 billion users watch on its platform — became a talking point. iHeart CEO Bob Pittman was asked by Bank of America analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich about growth in that segment as some consumers shift attention.

It’s been four years since Michael Wolff wrote a book about President Donald Trump. His last was 2021’s Landslide, which he wrote right after 2019’s Siege: Trump Under Fire, which, of course, came out just a year after the publication of his blockbuster page-turner Fire and Fury in 2018.

Today, we’re getting the not-so-long-awaited All or Nothing, which details the backroom shenanigans behind how 45 managed against all odds to get elected 47. Trump may not be one of Wolff’s biggest fans — “a total Loser,” the president raged on Truth Social last weekend — but The Hollywood Reporter has seen some early pages detailing Trump’s on-again-off-again relationship with News Corp mogul Rupert Murdoch, and Wolff does, as always, spill the tea.

You’ll probably recall how Murdoch turned on Trump after Jan. 6, only to have second thoughts after it became clear that Trump could actually get back into the White House.

As Donald Trump attempts to consolidate power within the executive branch, his declarations of despotism are becoming increasingly explicit.

On Wednesday afternoon — after ordering his administration to intervene in New York City’s recently implemented congestion pricing model — Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Congestion Pricing Is Dead. Manhattan, and all of New York, is Saved. Long Live The King!”

Shortly after, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich posted a screenshot of Trump’s post on X, alongside an AI-generated image of the president in a crown and cape.

Ever since the start of Donald Trump‘s second administration, The View hosts have continued to react to his various executive actions. But the one name that keeps making it to the top of the “Hot Topics” list in this term is Elon Musk, and that continued to be the case on Wednesday’s (February 19) episode. This time, the cohosts — Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin (since Whoopi Goldberg was out) — reacted to footage of Trump and Musk’s joint interview with Sean Hannity at Fox News. The segment started by reviewing a clip in which Musk said of his relationship with Trump, “I love the president. I think President Trump is a good man,” and Trump responded with, “Elon called me. He said, ‘You know they’re trying to drive us apart.’ I said, ‘Absolutely’ … I wanted to find someone smarter than him. I ...

President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk put on a united front when they sat down for a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity on Tuesday (February 18). Trump and Musk shot down claims of tension between the pair as some circles have referred to the Tesla CEO as President Musk. Instead, they heaped praise on one another, with Hannity telling the duo, “I feel like I’m interviewing two brothers here.” “Elon called me. He said, ‘You know, they are trying to drive us apart. I said, ‘Absolutely,'” Trump said at one point in the interview. However, Hannity did bring up how Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) recently reached a $10 million lawsuit settlement with Trump. “So he’s working for free with Doge. He’s kind of put a lot of his life on hold. And you sued Twitter a number of years ago. You just made him pay $10 million?...

Perhaps the most unexpected thing about Sean Hannity’s hourlong sit-down Tuesday with Donald Trump and Elon Musk — a first — was the initial question that the Fox News host posed to the duo.

“So he’s working for free with Doge. He’s kind of put a lot of his life on hold. And you sued Twitter a number of years ago. You just made him pay $10 million?” Hannity asked.

Unperturbed, Musk said he had just let the lawyers figure out the dicey legal matter, while Trump claimed that his No. 1 adviser got a “big discount.”

“It’s very low. I was looking to get much more money than that,” Trump said.

Hannity was referring to the latest settlement of a Trump lawsuit, this time from Musk’s X, which earlier this month agreed to pay the sum to the president even if the litigation had long been dormant.

Alabama Crimson Tide football has been a crown jewel of the college world for years, and viewers can get an intimate look at the program in this special.

There’s no denying that 2024 was a season of marked transition for the Alabama Crimson Tide football team.

President Donald Trump and the man who appears to be running the country with him sat down for a co-interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News on Tuesday night where — like gum stuck in a toupee — Elon Musk spent much of the airtime repeating talking points and proving he needs a refresher on how democracy works.

When commenting on how criticism of Trump’s administration from Democrats, Musk insisted, “All we’re really trying to do here is restore the will of the people through the president, and what we...

Many Fox News viewers were furious on Tuesday night (February 11) after Greg Gutfeld‘s eponymous nightly show was bumped off the air for breaking news coverage. Gutfeld!, which airs at 10 pm Et on weeknights, was pulled at the last minute on Tuesday night due to breaking news coverage of an American hostage release. Instead, Sean Hannity covered the news of American schoolteacher Marc Fogel returning to Washington and meeting with President Donald Trump following his release from a Russian prison. Fogel was arrested in August 2021 by Russian authorities for trying to enter the country with 17 grams of medical marijuana. He was later sentenced to 14 years in prison. Gutfeld announced that his show wouldn’t be airing less than an hour before it was supposed to come on air. Taking to X, he wrote, “Gutfeld! will not air tonight due to breaking news coverage. For the latest, stay tuned to @FoxNews.

Fox is now the owner of Red Seat Ventures, which produces audio and visual podcasts for conservative hosts.

Fox hasn’t made any big moves in the TV space since the joint venture streaming service Venu Sports went up in flames. However, that doesn’t mean that the company no longer has an eye on acquisitions. This week, the Fox Corporation announced that it was acquiring Red Seat Ventures, a podcast company that produces audio and video podcasts for conservative audiences. With plans to launch its own streaming service in the relatively near future, this acquisition could be part of the company’s plans for that forthcoming platform or its existing lifestyle service.

Key Details: Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Bill O’Reilly, and Dr. Phil are all clients of Red Seat Ventures. Red Seat will be part of the Tubi division of Fox. The acquisition could bring more content to Fox Nation...

Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to President Donald Trump, will host a new Saturday-night show on Fox News Channel, putting the outlet in the unusual position of backing a primetime opinion host with direct connections to a sitting Commander-in-Chief on its schedule.

Trump will anchor “My View,” which Fox News said would “focus on the return of common sense to all corners of American life as the country ushers in a new era of practicality.” The show is expected to feature both analysis and “interviews with thought leaders, shedding light on the headlines driving the national conversation and affecting families around the country.” The show will air at 9 p.m. on Saturdays. MSNBC offers a program with similar concepts, “Inside With Jen Psaki,” the former White House Press Secretary for President Joe Biden, which runs Sundays and Mondays.

Suzanne Scott, the CEO of Fox News Media, called Trump “a gifted communicator who...

Donald Trump will sit down with Fox News’ Bret Baier for a Super Bowl pregame interview Sunday.

It has become a tradition for presidents to do an interview with the NFL championship game’s host network, although Joe Biden skipped last year’s sit-down when CBS had the rights. Biden also declined an interview in 2023, when Fox News had rights.

When he was president in his first term, Trump declined to do an interview with NBC News in 2018. Trump was interviewed by then-Fox News host Bill O’Reilly in 2017, CBS News’ Margaret Brennan in 2019 and Fox News’ Sean Hannity in 2020.

This year’s pre-taped interview will take place at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fl, with portions airing on Special Report with Bret Baier on February 10 and the interview publishing online on FoxNews.com.

Baier hosted Trump for a town hall during the 2024 election and interviewed Kamala Harris. He also interviewed Trump...
