Kamala Harris has agreed to an interview on Fox News and is looking at sitting down with Joe Rogan for an interview on his podcast, capturing the interest of cautious social media fans.
With three weeks until the presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is making a big play for moderate Republican and undecided voters by agreeing to an interview on Fox News and potentially one with Joe Rogan. The news has left some on social media cautious about these moves and others confident that she would do well in the interviews. According to reports, Vice President Harris will sit down with chief political anchor Bret Baier on a special episode of Special Report with Bret Baier. The episode will air on Wednesday (October 16) with the interview taking place in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. Harris is also weighing whether to be a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is hosted on Spotify. Her campaign team has reportedly met with Rogan’s staff.
The push for Harris to appear on Rogan’s top-rated podcast (which has 14.5 million viewers)is crucial as polls currently have her in the lead over the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The Fox News interview would also be her first on the network. The news comes as Trump has opted out of major media appearances down the stretch, most notably with 60 Minutes earlier this month. Trump has also had a tiff with Rogan, taking shots at him on his Truth Social network in August before recanting and calling him “a good guy.”. Rogan said in 2022 that he wouldn’t back Trump in an election, opting to support then-independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Social media greeted the news with a mixture of caution and approval. Some observed that liberals were rushing to applaud the move while having berated Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for appearing on Rogan’s show in the past. Others felt that Harris would be more than capable of handling herself with Baier and Rogan. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, political commentator Matthew Sheffield wrote of how beneficial Harris’ decision to do Rogan’s show could be: “Rogan is conservative, but he’s not a Fox hack. This group needs to be addressed rather than ceded to Trump. She’s got the facts his audience needs.”

Donald Trump debated Vice President Kamala Harris last night (September 10) on ABC News, and is now speaking up regarding his showing and outside critique of the debate. In an appearance on a Fox News morning show, Donald Trump blasted two anchors from the network, stating he would not want them modering a potential second debate.
Donald Trump phoned into the Fox & Friends morning show on Wednesday (September 11), accusing moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of heavily fact-checking his statements and not doing the same for his opponent.
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy asked the former president if he would consider holding another debate after Fox News offered the opportunity for an undetermined October date. Trump used this moment to attack Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, based on their criticism of his debate showing against Vice President Harris.
“Well, I wouldn’t want to have Martha and Bret,” Trump said. “I’d love to have somebody else other than Martha and Bret. I’d love to have, frankly, Sean [Hannity] or Jesse [Watters] or Laura [Ingraham]. You know, somebody else. Let’s give let’s give other people a shot.”
Trump continued, “But I didn’t think Martha and Bret were so good last night. Yes, he was. Jesse was fantastic last night. What he said, Jesse. Really got it. Jesse said to Trump once that debate that was we won that debate by a lot. And I wouldn’t want Martha involved.”
When asked if he would accept the October debate offer from Fox News, Trump appeared to sidestep the offer and claimed victory on the debate stage over Harris.
“Well, I’d be less inclined to because we had a great night. We won the debate. We had a terrible, terrible network. I think they were terrible. They should be embarrassed,” Trump said of ABC News. “I mean, they kept correcting me and I said what I said was largely right or I hope it was right. But what they said was absolutely wrong.”
Vice President Harris has said she welcomes a second debate with Donald Trump.
Live on Fox, Trump insults the two Fox anchors who have been pitched as debate moderators – Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum – and says “I wouldn’t want to have” them. He says he would want Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters or Laura Ingraham to host instead. (An obvious non-starter.) pic.twitter.com/uXVJtnYn8L

A moment where Vice President Kamala Harris was seen wearing earbuds before a flight upset a Fox News host but left social media users perplexed.
As the presidential race between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump continues, the right-wing media outlet Fox News has been fixated on minute things about Vice President Harris including her use of earbuds. This came in the form of a segment, introduced by its host John Roberts. “Presidential nominee Kamala Harris,” he began. “She did break her media silence last week in a sit-down interview alongside running mate Tim Walz, but now she appears to be using a new method to dodge press questions…A pair of earbuds.”
A video of Vice President Harris exiting an SUV and walking towards Air Force 2 is shown, and she is seen waving to people off-camera with earbuds in her ears as she ascends the stairs to the airplane. Roberts comes back and asks, “So, was she really on a call, or was that just a feint?” The network and other media outlets have been consistently stating that the vice president hasn’t been forthcoming with doing interviews with the press, showing their frustration through several opinion editorial articles since she was officially declared the nominee two weeks ago. Harris would sit down with her vice presidential running mate Walz in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash last week.
Those who got wind of the Fox News segment expressed their confusion at how the network saw an issue with Vice President Harris using earbuds. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, user John Challen recalled another moment that the network was obsessed with something trivial with another Black presidential figure: “Is that her ‘tan suit’ moment on Fox?! These people are so odd.” Another by the name of Brenna wrote, “When there’s actually zero scandals…this is what they’re reduced to.” Meanwhile, supporters of Trump were busy reposting the clips in an attempt to nail her for seeming to backtrack on her position of not using wired earbuds in 2021.

Donald Trump announced that he’s dropping out of a debate on ABC and is trying to force a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News.
On Saturday (Aug. 3), Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced that he won’t be taking part in the scheduled presidential debate on ABC, and is instead, stating that he’ll only debate Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News. In a post on his Truth Social platform, the former president insulted Harris, writing that she “doesn’t have the mental capacity to do a REAL Debate against me, scheduled for September 4th in Pennsylvania.” He went on to say that “I’ll see her on September 4th or, I won’t see her at all.” Representatives for Fox News haven’t responded to press inquiries.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Vice President Harris called Trump out, writing: “It’s interesting how ‘any time, any place’ becomes ‘one specific time, one specific safe space.’ I’ll be there on September 10th, like he agreed to. I hope to see him there.” Another post from her campaign team reiterated her stance in a stronger tone, writing that Trump was “running scared” and calling him “Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace.”
Trump agreed to two debates with President Joe Biden in May. The first was held in Atlanta on CNN on June 27, and the second is scheduled for ABC on Sept. 10, with its chief political anchor George Stephanopoulos as moderator. Trump said in an earlier Truth Social post that he wanted to debate Harris on Sept. 4 because of Biden withdrawing from the race and the “conflict of interest” with Stephanopoulos moderating, citing a lawsuit he filed against the network.
Trump has attacked the anchor and ABC in previous interviews, calling them “fake news” in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. Trump has been mocked on social media since Biden’s stepping down and endorsing Harris as the Democratic candidate for the election. Observers feel that Trump avoiding a debate with Harris would cost him dearly, including former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci who stated in a CNN Newsroom interview that it “would be a disaster for him if he doesn’t debate the vice president.”

A guest on the Fox Business Network called Vice President Kamala Harris the original “Hawk Tuah” girl, and social media expressed their disgust.The attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris since her bid to become the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate have ramped up and taken on more racist and sexist tones. A new example came from Alec Lace, who was a guest ona panel on the Fox Business Network. During a segment on July 21 discussing Harris taking over as President Joe Biden decided to drop out of the race, Lace stated: “And there’s the DEI Press Secretary telling you that the DEI Vice President is the future of the party here. So the future for the Democrats looks quite dim. Kamala Harris, she is the original Hawk Tuah girl — that’s the way she got where she is, and the party is going downhill if it’s in her hands.”
Lace was comparing Vice President Harris to Hailey Welch, the 22-year-old woman who recently became a viral sensation for describing the spitting noise made while performing oral sex during a street interview. The comment drew only a mild rebuke from the host, Dagen McDowell who chuckled nervously and said, “That was harsh.” Lace has not appeared on the network since making the comments, but he has stood by them on social media. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the conservative author asked his followers: “Did I go too far on FOX News calling Kamala Harris the OG Hawk Tuah girl or am I right over the target?” In a statement to TMZ, he doubled down, saying: “I’m more concerned with how the MSM has radicalized people with their dangerous rhetoric about President Donald Trump which almost got him killed.”
The clip led many on social media to be highly outraged over Lace’s words, with many pointing out how he describes himself as a “father of four” and also mocking him for being someone desperate for attention. One X user wrote, “All of their daughters are watching.” Another user, Alexander Nazaryan, wrote about the ineffectiveness of the attack: “The problem with turning Kamala Harris into a meme is that memes don’t last, and they have a much more limited appeal than it might seem.”
Take a look at some of the responses to Lace’s comments below.

With VP Kamala Harris now officially running for President, the alleged racists on the Right are foaming at the mouth. Case in point, on Tuesday morning (July 24), during a segment on Fox and Friends discussing Harris choosing not to attend Isreal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing Congress, host Brian Kilemeade called historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. a “colored sorority.”
“She’d rather address, in the summer, a sorority…a colored sorority, like she can’t get outta that!,” said Kilmeade. Yes, we are in 2024, and “colored” has entered the chat. By the way, that’s an outdated, racist way to describe a person of color (big difference).
Instead of watching Trump’s buddy Netanyahu kick propaganda, VP Harris will be attending and speaking Zeta Phi Beta’s national convention in New Orleans. Despite the Black Greek Lettered Organization’s storied history—it was founded in 1920 on the campus of Howard University and its rolls of accomplished members (Sheryl Underwood, Dionne Warwick) who are Black women—Kilmeade figures Harris should just cancel.
Wait until he finds out Harris is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., thus the respect is there. But the context would probably fly over his allegedly bigoted head.
The FOX News nitwit is currently getting dragged for all the filth, and deservedly so. Shout out to the Black man on the panel—Lawrence Jones III—who sat there like a soft shoe clown while the white guy went full racist, allegedly. Even white people saw the jig.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson declined to endorse either of the two main candidates for the 2024 presidential campaign in an interview.
In an interview on Fox News’ Fox & Friends, pro-wrestler-turned-actor and entrepreneur Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson declared that he wouldn’t be making a public endorsement in this year’s presidential race. In 2020, Johnson used his platform to endorse now-President Joe Biden. “The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was what I thought was the best decision for me at that time,” Johnson said to Will Cain, who interviewed Johnson as he was preparing for the WWE’s Wrestlemania 41 being held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“And I thought back then, when we talked about, ‘Hey, I am in this position where I have some influence, and it’s my job then.’ I felt like that then. ‘It is my job now to exercise my influence and share with, ‘This is who I am going to endorse.’” Notably, Donald Trump has had long-standing ties with the WWE. “Am I going to do that again this year? That answer is no. I’m not going to do that, because what I realized what that caused back then was something that tears me up in my guts, back then and now, which is division,” Johnson continued.
The 51-year-old shared his thoughts on the state of the country. “Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well, that answer is no. Do I believe that we are going to get better? I believe in that. I’m an optimistic guy, and I believe we can get better.” Cain asked him what was most important to him. “To be real…Authenticity. We hear that word a lot, but that is important to me,” Johnson replied, citing “wokeness” and “cancel culture” as things that he feels contribute to the division in the nation.
“I’m not a politician. I’m not into politics,” he stated, adding: “I care deeply about our country. I’m a patriot, and I believe you are too, as well. And right now, my desire and my priorities are my babies and school drop-offs and pickups — that’s important to me.” Johnson has flirted in the past with a potential presidential run, making mention of it during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon in 2017. It even became part of the core plot of the NBC sitcom based on his life, Young Rock, which ran for three seasons.
Jason Isbell turned Fox News‘ hyperbolic headlines into song on Thursday (Feb. 29) for a hilarious segment on The Daily Show. In a clip posted to Instagram, the singer is seen playing an acoustic guitar and singing various headlines focusing on President Joe Biden. “Blue Collar Joe Appears With Backwards Hat / Biden Appears to […]

One journalist has landed in some unusual legal hot water after sharing some video footage of former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson and other personalities.
The Washington Post reports that freelance journalist Tim Burke, a former employee of The Daily Beast and Deadspin, was hit with an indictment on Thursday, Feb.22, and his attorneys believe this will threaten the freedom of the press.
According to The Washington Post’s reporting, Burke was hit with 14 counts, including conspiracy and wiretapping, which is very eyebrow-raising.
Per The Washington Post:
But in an indictment laying out 14 counts against Burke that include conspiracy and wiretapping, prosecutors allege that the journalist went too far by tapping into a streaming feed site where he acquired unbroadcast video clips of former Fox News star Tucker Carlson and other personalities.
Vice and Media Matters later published some of the footage obtained by Burke, including outtakes from an interview with Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, making antisemitic remarks and rambling about “fake children” living in his home — scenes that undermined Carlson’s on-air attempts to present the MAGA-friendly star as thoughtful and levelheaded.
Was Burke’s Actions Illegal?
The indictment also notes Burke obtained the footage from the streaming service LiveU, which is used by media outlets, allowing them to share videos across their organizations.
He said that information following a raid by the FBI on his home that also saw the seeing of his equipment. Burke’s attorneys say he used “publicly available login credentials” to access LiveU’s feed after a “confidential source” told him where to look for details, allowing him to enter the precise URLs for specific feeds.
“He merely found something newsworthy on a publicly accessible site,” the filing states.
Prosecutors claim the opposite, saying that Burke used “compromised credentials” to gain unauthorized computer access.
We want to see how this lawsuit pans out because there are huge implications if the court sides with the prosecutors.

There are racists, then there are FOX News elite-level racists. Case in point, Raymond Arroyo is getting dragged for saying that Black people will inevitably support Trump because of their love of…wait for it, sneakers.
As you might have heard, Donald Trump attended Sneaker Con in Philadelphia to announce that he was selling his superbly terrible signature sneakers. Besides getting clowned for his audacity and blatant grifting online, (the struggle January 6’s won’t even ship for months) he was also loudly booed at the event.
Nevertheless, on The Big Weekend Show on FOX News, resident doofus Raymond Arroyo—don’t let the name fool you—saw this as a political win for Cheeto because he seems to think Black voters are all about kicks when it comes to choosing their Presidents.
“This is connecting with Black America because they love sneakers,” Arroyo said. “This a big deal, certainly in the inner city. So when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they’re like, ‘wait a minute, this is cool.’ He’s reaching them on a level that defies and is above politics. The culture always trumps politics. And Trump understands culture like no politician I’ve ever seen.”
Spoiler, no it’s not (connecting with Black America). Stereoptyes much, Arroyo? Wait til he finds out Blacks don’t only live in the “inner city.”
Never mind that Trump has historically been a racist, sexist, bigot and any other disagreeable adjective you can think of to go along with facing multiple indictments across various courts of law. Also, he’s on the hook for sexual assault, too. But yeah, his sneakers, though.
So for Black people that may be considering, this is what Team Trump thinks of you.
It goes without saying that social media is going in on the latest FOX News fail, and we compiled some of the better reactions in the gallery.
