Fox News is having profound trouble coping with the spate of terrible stories hitting Donald Trump. Lately the network has been mostly avoiding discussion of the Iran debacle. Fox largely ignored the report of a Russian oligarch funding Don Jr.'s wedding. It didn't appear to cover Karl Rove's highly newsworthy warning about racism in the GOP. Meanwhile, a new Fox poll just delivered crushing news to Trump and the GOP: It finds that 63% say Trump made the economy worse; Democrats are substantially leading the GOP on most major issues and in the generic ballot; Democrats are benefiting from a big enthusiasm edge; and much more. Fox often downplays its own polling when it's bad for Trump, but this time, it seems to be breaking through into the coverage. As Matt Gertz of Media Matters details on this episode, Fox is really in crisis mode amid Trump's mounting failures and cratering public standing. Gertz takes us inside how Fox deals with bad news for Trump, discusses how Trump-MAGA propaganda functions, and anticipates what's coming on the right if a big midterm loss badly diminishes him.

The RINOs are trying to stage an uprising. Karl Rove (R-Ino.) made a statement that he is going to be voting Democrat, as opposed to voting for railroad commissioner candidate Bo French(R-Texas), who he called “bigoted” for his UT Austin post. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) amplified Rove's message and hinted toward voting Democrat as well. Meanwhile, RINO Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.) made a campaign ad calling out Trump and advocating for giving illegal aliens amnesty. These people just need to become Democrats already. There is never an end to the scams coming from immigrants who overstay their welcome. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce fell victim to a $35 million Indian Ponzi scheme. Sidharth Jawahar, an illegal alien from India, took millions from high-end clients. He spent his money on all kinds of luxury but is now serving 11 years in prison. So even cancer is political now, according to Democrats. We can't even all agree that cancer is awful. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.) wrote an essay that breast cancer is a disease that affects people with “social power and privilege.” He finds the funding for this cancer research “disturbing” and denounced the pink ribbon lobby. And he's still trying his hardest to shy away from his equally insane bestie, Hasan Piker. Muslim Commie Mayor Mamdani is solving all kinds of problems that no one knew existed and nobody asked for. He is spending $4 million for public toilets. The craziest thing: These toilets are on a timer, meaning if you're too slow, you're going to get exposed to the entire city. Yep, that sounds like communist New York City. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► BlazeTV Go to BLAZETV.COM/SARA and use promo code SARA for $20 off.

A GOP senator leaned over and told Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) how to vote. The clerk still couldn't hear him. This is day three back for an 84-year-old senator after more than 90 days away — a fall, pneumonia, two months in the hospital, and a wheelchair through the Capitol. The Senate Agriculture Committee had already stalled the farm bill without him. On Wednesday, they needed that vote. So they brought him in, called his name, and the country watched Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) lean in with “no” while McConnell quietly said “aye,” then had to say it again louder because nobody caught it the first time. The bill cleared 12-11, party lines. The question is why Republicans keep pretending this is just a tough recovery and not a fitness problem. If a Democrat this frail needed a neighbor to coach a roll call, this network would not be told to look away. Farm policy, nutrition fights, and a chamber that already runs on people who should have gone home years ago — and the party of “common sense” wheels a man in because the math is 12-11. Pat also covered: The last pennies ever minted just sold at auction for $16.7 million. We killed the coin, then collectors paid a fortune for the funeral. The Fed just hiked rates for the first time since 2023 — a quarter point, to 3.75%–4%. Warsh did it unanimously. Is America ready for a gay president? Not as a slogan. As an actual ticket. The Wachowski brothers are now the Wachowski sisters. Hollywood called it progress. Everybody else called it a pattern. James Talarico's own minister, Rev. Babs Miller, got caught on camera saying the makeover is a lie. Should a senator who has to be walked through a committee vote still be holding that seat? If this were the other party, would you still be told to show respect and move on?

Mike pushes back on the growing sense of political doom surrounding the midterms, arguing that Republicans risk talking themselves into defeat before voters even head to the polls. With Congress taking another lengthy break after just seven workdays and establishment Republicans like George Will and Karl Rove openly breaking with Trump-era politics, Mike sees a broader fight over whether the Republican Party will remain focused on the voters who put it in power. He acknowledges the very real frustrations over gas prices, the economy and the war with Iran while making the case that those concerns shouldn't erase the administration's record on taxes, immigration and the border. The question Mike keeps coming back to is whether conservatives will show up despite the pessimism—or allow what he calls the “doomers” and “RINOs” to convince them that the fight is already lost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast, Chris Cillizza and Matt discuss:— Every traditional midterm indicator points to a Democratic year, so why do the individual races look dicey?— Why toss-up Senate races (Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Texas) almost never split 50-50 — they move together— Michigan: Tucker Carlson says he wouldn't vote for Mike Rogers “at gunpoint.” Serious question: Is Rogers actually a good candidate?— 2028 Democratic calendar: South Carolina going first, what it does to Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear, AOC, and everyone else— Ted Cruz's 2028 theory: the last mainstream-ish Reagan Republican standing if Vance and the rest crash— Texas: James Talarico leading or tied with Ken Paxton for months; Karl Rove, John Cornyn, and John Kennedy all sounding alarms— Trump's midterm strategy: “Pretend I'm on the ballot” — but is this strategy smart or dumb?— Milo Yiannopoulos goes on on Piers Morgan after being deported: hypocrisy, the veil of ignorance, and why “there but for the grace of God go I” matters more than ever.— And a LOT more!Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

We're less than 75 days away from the midterm elections that will determine who controls the House and Senate. Recent primary outcomes and shifting political dynamics have turned six Senate races into toss-ups, according to the latest FOX News Power Rankings. Earlier this week on the FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony spoke with FOX News Contributor and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove about the battleground landscape and some of the high-stakes contests, including those in Alaska, Texas, and Michigan. Rove explains how far-left candidates succeeding in key primaries and shifting voter demographics could impact the outcome in November. Finally, Rove—the architect of former President George W. Bush's gubernatorial and presidential campaigns—also discusses what he thinks the GOP should do in the closing months and what former President Trump should do—and not do—to help his party. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with Karl Rove.

The Peter Boyles August 15, 2026 HOUR 4: Peter Boyles sits down with former Congressman Tom Tancredo for an extraordinary conversation about faith, politics and the unexpected twists that shaped his life. Tancredo tells the never-before-heard-on-radio story of how a sermon about persecuted Christians in Sudan ultimately led him into Congress, into war-torn Sudan with Senator Sam Brownback, and eventually to writing the Sudan Peace Act. He also shares remarkable stories from his political career involving Ronald Reagan, Frida Poundstone, Colorado Republicans and a furious confrontation with Karl Rove over immigration and the Bush White House. The hour closes with Tancredo taking aim at Colorado's education system, questioning claims that the state ranks No. 1 nationally and arguing that school choice and charter schools are doing more to improve education than the traditional public-school system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lanny Davis joins Brian Nichols to reveal why as Bill Clinton's lawyer, he now agrees with libertarians on government surveillance and why America's privacy crisis is happening right now.This isn't a gotcha. Davis was Special Counsel to President Clinton, legal advisor to Michael Cohen, and the only Democrat George W. Bush put on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board - the panel that watched the government's surveillance programs from the inside. The invitation came from Karl Rove himself.So what makes a lifelong Democrat go straight to George Orwell's 1984? Flock cameras. License plate readers. Every car in America logged and shared between departments. Davis looked at all of it and said the quiet part out loud... "the bigger government is, the more I feel shared wisdom with libertarians."His new book, Finding the Third Way, tackles the civility crisis head-on. He and Joe Lieberman once asked 535 members of Congress and 50 governors to sign a civility pledge - three signed. Davis names his own party's labeling problem, pulls a Harry Truman warning from 1948, and makes the case that Democrats and libertarians agree on more than either side admits.And then Brian does the thing we do... the scorecard. Three things Lanny got right. Three where he lost me. One of them pointed straight at our own side.
