Fox News anchor Chris Wallace made no secret about how he felt watching President Joe Biden’s Inauguration speech Wednesday, calling it “the best inaugural address” he has ever heard.

“A lot of this event today, a lot of the president’s speech, was colored by the emotion of the fact that exactly two weeks ago, 14 days ago, there was a mob, a buzz of insurrectionists, of domestic terrorists on the inaugural stand.”

Wallace pointed to Biden’s particular focus on unity in the wake of a pandemic that has taken more than 400,000 American lives.

“Talking directly to the American people, saying, hear me out. We have a right to dissent peacefully, but our disagreement must not lead to disunion,” Wallace said.

Wallace told his Fox News colleagues that Biden’s speech reminded him of speeches that he has witnessed over the years, including President John F. Kennedy in 1961.

“I think it was less an inaugural address and more part sermon, part pep talk.”

Tucker Carlson Releases Second Twitter Video in Spite of Breach of Contract Claims

Despite being told by Fox News that the launch of his video show on Twitter violated his contract, Tucker Carlson released the second installment of Tucker on Twitter Thursday.

After his 10-minute debut on Tuesday, his former employer reportedly sent him a letter informing him that any video content he creates is owned by Fox News and launching a new program on any competitor to Fox News would be considered a breach of contract.

In his second installment, Carlson did not reference the current contract dispute. The more than 12-minute long episode focused on “taboos” in American society, and why conservatives should “cling to them like their life depends on it”.

It has been reported that Fox News has offered to pay Carlson for the duration of his contract — which is believed to run through January of 2025 — to not produce any content. Carlson has rebuffed that offer, and obtained the services of attorney Bryan Freedman.

“Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events,” Freedman told Axios after being alerted to the notice from Fox News.

Kaitlan Collins is speaking candidly for the first time since she moderated at CNN town hall event with former President Donald Trump.

During an appearance on The Axe Files podcast with CNN colleague David Axelrod, Collins said she was mostly unbothered by the reception she received for her performance during the event.

“I think that I did the best job that I could do. I spent weeks preparing for that, watched past town halls, past debates, I did my homework,” Collins said after being asked about the “unflattering” coverage surrounding her performance. “And I think when you come out of something like that…people are entitled to their own reaction to it. And we certainly saw that.”

Axelrod then asked if she had felt any of the critiques were personal in nature and whether or not they were difficult to absorb.

“My question for me at the end of the day is: Do I think that I did the best job that I can do? And how do I feel about my performance in that? And I felt like I did the best job that I could do. I went into it fully prepared. I was prepared for how he was going to respond to that and what that was going to look like. And I think that was the best that I could do. My job was to press him on those really important issues that he hasn’t been pressed on.”

The Axe Files host also asked Collins about her reaction to Trump calling her a “nasty” person, which she said she was prepared for.

“Always to women. I mean, not that he doesn’t criticize men or give them unflattering nicknames,” Collins said. “I’m very well aware of what his reactions to tough questioning often are. And I think my job is to not be deterred by that. It is really important for any reporter, but especially if you’re covering Trump, to be unflappable in that way.”

Collins was the subject of much criticism for her performance in the event. Reaction was mostly mixed along party affiliation, with conservatives lambasting the combative nature she showed with the former President, while liberals pointed to the difficult position the 31-year-old was placed in by now former CNN CEO Chris Licht.

Fox News primetime host Sean Hannity will present a sitdown interview with Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) next week.

The interview will take place at the Governor’s Mansion in Sacramento and will discuss topics like immigration, the economy, the 2024 presidential election, and the current state of democratic politics.

The announcement of Hannity’s interview with Newsom comes on the heels of the California governor announcing a proposed 28th Amendment. Newsom’s proposition is aimed at gun control, and would look to raise the minimum age of purchase to 21, mandate background checks and waiting periods for gun purchases, and would ban civilian purchases of assault weapons.

Newsom has not appeared on Fox News for a long-form interview since 2010, when he was serving as the Mayor of San Francisco.

Hannity’s sitdown interview will air on Monday, June 12th at 9:00 PM ET. On the same evening, CNN is scheduled to air a Republican town hall event with former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. That program — moderated by Anderson Cooper — is slated to begin at 8:00 PM ET.
