FOX & Friends

"Jesus takes the chains off us." As @KathieLGifford shares, we’re all caught between two voices: one telling us to build our own kingdom, and one calling us to follow something eternal. That’s the heart of her new thriller, Nero & Paul - and it feels incredibly relevant to the chaos of 2026.

MIC DROP: President Trump gives a Japanese reporter a reality check with a Pearl Harbor quip after he asks why the President didn't alert allies about the war before attacking Iran. "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

FBI PROBE: Federal officials are investigating former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over allegations that he leaked classified information, according to three sources familiar with the matter. Kent resigned this week as the nation’s top counterterrorism official, citing opposition to the U.S. war against Iran and claiming there was no "imminent threat" to the nation. @kilmeade @ainsleyearhardt

NOW: President Trump touts "unthinkable" American weaponry, claiming he could crush the Iranian conflict in two seconds but is choosing a "judicious" path of restraint. "The power of some of this weaponry is unthinkable. You don't even want to know about it. Oh, you could end this thing in two seconds if you wanted to, but we are being very judicious."

'WE ARE READY': Cuban Democratic Party leader @RosaMariaPaya says the opposition is united and ready with a plan as the U.S. pressure campaign pushes the regime to the brink.

WATCH: DNI Tulsi Gabbard is now testifying on threats facing the United States. “The defense of our homeland is of the utmost importance to the American people.”

“SET BACK WEEKS, MONTHS, OR YEARS.” Retired Brigadier General John Teichert praises the U.S. for taking decisive action to dismantle threats from Iran. “They won’t be able to threaten us in the near future.”

REPORTER: "Why are we helping Israel prosecute this war if they're going to pursue their own objectives?" SEC. HEGSETH: "We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing objectives as well and the truth speaks for itself."

STRATEGIC STRIKES: “Each day we continue to attack deeper into Iranian territory.” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine breaks down the progress and positioning of U.S. forces in Iran.

"They died for you son, so that your generation doesn't have to deal with a nuclear Iran." @SecWar Pete Hegseth shares the profound lesson he gave his son after meeting the families of the fallen during a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base.

SEC. HEGSETH: "The world, the Middle East, our ungrateful allies in Europe, even segments of our own press, should be saying one thing to President Trump: Thank you." "Thank you for the courage to stop this terror state from holding the world hostage with missiles while building or attempting to build a nuclear bomb."

Pentagon reports 7,000+ targets hit across Iran and its military infrastructure. “Today will be the largest strike package yet, just like yesterday was... Our capabilities continue to build. Iran's continue to degrade.”

SEC. HEGSETH: “Iran has terrorized the United States and our interests for 47 years… A regime like that, refusing to abandon its nuclear ambitions, is not just a regional problem. It’s a DIRECT THREAT TO AMERICA.”

“HONOR THEIR SACRIFICE. DO NOT WAVER.” Watch Sec. Hegseth pay tribute to the fallen U.S. service members of Operation Epic Fury.

SEC. HEGSETH: "The media here, not all of it, but much of it wants you to think just 19 days into this conflict, that we're somehow spinning toward an endless abyss or a forever war or a quagmire. Nothing could be further from the truth." "They want President Trump to fail. But you, the American people, know better."
