Dana Perino Launches Nationwide Book Tour for Debut Novel Purple State Dana Perino, the Fox News host and former White House Press Secretary, is embarking on a nationwide book tour to promote her debut fiction novel Purple State, a romantic comedy that debuted on April 21, 2026, via Harper Collins. The novel, which quickly became a New York Times bestseller, follows three 25-year-old women from New York City who abandon their careers to explore love and personal growth in small-town Wisconsin. The book tour, which includes stops in major U.S. cities such as Milwaukee, Houston, Los Angeles, and Boston, marks Perino’s transition from political commentary to storytelling, blending her expertise in politics with insights into modern relationships and regional divides. Perino’s career in political commentary spans over two decades, beginning with her role as the 26th White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush. She later managed communications at the State Department and became a prominent voice on Fox News as co-host of The Five and anchor of America’s Newsroom. Her academic background includes degrees in international affairs from George Washington University, history from Cambridge University, and a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. Despite her established career in news analysis, Perino had previously authored four nonfiction bestsellers, including And the Good News Is (2015), Let Me Tell You About Jasper, Everything Will Be Okay, and I Wish Someone Had Told Me (April 2025). These works focused on mentorship and life lessons for young women, but Purple State represents her first foray into fiction—a deliberate shift inspired by what she described as a “quarter-life crisis.#new_york_times #fox_news #dana_perino #harper_collins #george_w_bush_presidential_center

Los Angeles County Residents Seek Cheaper, Safer Alternatives Amid Population Decline Between July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025, Los Angeles County experienced its largest population decline in the U.S., with 53,421 residents relocating to other states and regions. Census data revealed the county’s population dropped from approximately 10 million in 2020 to around 9.7 million in 2025, marking a significant shift in the region’s demographic landscape. This exodus, driven by factors such as high taxes, rising crime rates, and deteriorating public services, has sparked concerns about the long-term economic and social implications for the county. Robert Rivani, founder of RIVANI, a Miami-based real estate firm, highlighted the growing dissatisfaction among residents. “There is a real sense of burnout. They are paying insane taxes and getting absolutely nothing in return,” Rivani told Fox News Digital. He noted that many companies and individuals have relocated their headquarters and families to Florida, citing Miami as a preferable alternative. “People feel like they’re living in a place that’s draining them financially and in exchange they’re dealing with rising crime, shrinking services, and a sense that everyone around them is trying to leave, too.” Rivani’s observations reflect a broader trend of residents seeking environments where their financial contributions yield tangible benefits. Real estate agent Chad Carroll of Compass echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the cumulative effect of multiple stressors. “It isn’t just one factor, it’s the breaking point phenomenon. The taxes, the lack of safety, the red tape,” Carroll said. He cited a client from California whose home was burglarized twice in six months, underscoring the perceived decline in public safety.#las_vegas #los_angeles_county #fox_news #riverside #san_barnardino

Fox News Host Shannon Bream Reveals Her Calling Is Not Political: 'To Carry Out Christ's Agenda' Shannon Bream, the first woman to anchor “Fox News Sunday” in the show’s 26-year history, has spoken openly about her personal faith and how it shapes her professional priorities. While her role at Fox News involves covering political and news events, Bream emphasized that her primary focus is not on political agendas but on fulfilling what she describes as a spiritual calling. In an interview on CBN’s Faith in Culture podcast, she clarified that as a believer, her mission is to “carry out Christ’s agenda,” which she defines as reaching people with the message of faith. Bream’s comments come amid growing concerns about political polarization in the United States. Data from a 2024 study by Johns Hopkins University revealed that nearly half of Americans view their political opponents as “downright evil,” while a 2023 Pew Research Center report found that 80% of U.S. adults believe Republicans and Democrats disagree not only on policies but also on fundamental facts. Bream acknowledged the divide but urged her audience to prioritize humanity over ideological conflict. She argued that demonizing opponents prevents meaningful dialogue and hinders the possibility of bringing others to “God’s grace and love.” Despite the challenges of her profession, Bream stressed the importance of balance in her daily life. As a Fox News anchor, she spends long hours analyzing news events, but she emphasized the need for personal time to recharge. She described her morning routine as essential, beginning each day with prayer and reading the Bible. “The Bible is full of truth and guidance,” she said, adding that it provides perspective for navigating the complexities of the day.#pew_research_center #fox_news #shannon_bream #johns_hopkins_university #map_dot_fingerprint_dystrophy
Fox News Reporter Gets Slammed by Wrestler During Live Broadcast Fox News journalist Abby Hornacek faced an unexpected and physical interruption during a live broadcast when a wrestler body slammed her. The incident, which occurred during a segment, left Hornacek visibly shaken but she managed to downplay the severity of the attack, appearing unfazed as she continued reporting. The wrestler, whose identity was not immediately disclosed, reportedly targeted Hornacek during a chaotic moment on air, leaving the network scrambling to address the situation. The attack raised questions about the safety of on-air personnel and the potential for unprovoked violence during live broadcasts. While no official statement from the wrestler or Fox News has been released, the incident has sparked discussions about the boundaries of public figures and the risks associated with live television.

However, others have defended the action as a form of protest against what they perceive as biased or aggressive reporting. The event has also prompted calls for stricter security measures for live broadcasts, as networks grapple with the challenges of maintaining order in real-time coverage.

Trump Distracts From War Question by Flirting With Fox News Host Donald Trump complimented a Fox News host’s appearance right after being asked about the welfare of civilians in war-torn Iran. During a phone interview with The Five on Thursday, co-host Dana Perino inquired about the conditions of Iranian dissidents and whether the civilian population had access to basic necessities like food and water. The U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran, now in its fourth week, has killed over 1,492 civilians, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency. Perino began by expressing concern about the lack of information from Iranian citizens, noting that their internet is reportedly shut down and that the government has “treated them terribly,” including killing tens of thousands in January. She asked Trump whether Iranian civilians had access to drinking water and food, calling the situation “upsetting.” Trump addressed the question briefly before shifting focus. He recalled a past lunch with Perino at Trump Tower, a reference that was unclear to both parties. “You haven’t changed,” he said, adding that he was “not allowed to say this” because it could end his political career. Perino responded by joking about Fox News’s makeup and hair styling, while Trump claimed he couldn’t comment on her appearance due to political risks. Trump later returned to the topic of Iran but avoided directly answering Perino’s questions. Instead, he warned about the dangers of protesting the Iranian government, describing the military’s use of “nasty guns” and “snipers” to suppress dissent. He claimed that protesters are “brave” but “not brave” when they see people being shot, suggesting the lack of protests is due to fear of violence.#iran #donald_trump #fox_news #dana_perino #human_rights_activists_news_agency
Trump praises female journalist’s appearance during Iran-related interview Donald Trump took a moment to compliment a female journalist’s looks during an interview with Fox News host Dana Perino, shifting focus from a question about Iran’s situation. The exchange occurred as Perino asked the president about the “alarming” silence from Iranian citizens due to internet blackouts and whether people in the country had access to sufficient food and water. Trump responded by referencing a past meeting with Perino, recalling their lunch at Trump Tower years earlier. He then remarked on her appearance, stating, “You have not changed. Now I'm not allowed to say this, it's the end of my political career, but you may be even better looking, OK?” The comment drew immediate attention, as it deviated from the original question about Iran’s humanitarian conditions. The conversation highlighted the president’s tendency to pivot to personal remarks during interviews, even when addressing pressing geopolitical issues. Perino’s question had aimed to probe Trump’s stance on the impact of U.S. actions on Iranian civilians, but the discussion quickly shifted to his assessment of her appearance. Such moments have become a recurring feature of Trump’s public engagements, often drawing criticism for prioritizing personal anecdotes over substantive policy discussions. Analysts have noted that these remarks, while seemingly lighthearted, can overshadow critical conversations about global crises, including the humanitarian challenges faced by populations in conflict zones. The incident also underscores the broader dynamics of media interactions with political figures, where journalists frequently navigate the balance between pressing for accountability and engaging with the personal aspects of a leader’s public persona.

Trump makes shocking comment to Fox News host: ‘It’s the end of my political career’ President Donald Trump made an unusual remark during an appearance on the Fox News panel show The Five, where he addressed the situation for Iranians amid the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Israel. The exchange occurred when host Dana Perino, a former White House press secretary under George W. Bush, asked Trump about whether the Iranian people’s basic needs were being met. Trump began by referencing a past meeting at Trump Tower, where he claimed Perino had not changed over the years. He then abruptly shifted to a personal comment, stating, “Now, I’m not allowed to say this. It’s the end of my political career.” He added, “But you may be even better looking [today], OK?” before retracting the remark, saying, “But I will not say that because that will end my political career. You’re not allowed to say a woman’s beautiful anymore…” The president eventually returned to the topic of Iran, describing the situation as dire. He claimed that Iranians were “petrified” due to the presence of weapons and the violence inflicted by one side, noting that people were too afraid to protest despite their bravery. The comments drew immediate backlash from Trump’s critics. Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh tweeted, “He’s such a sick f---.” Anti-Trump account Spiro’s Ghost posted, “What a disgusting pig,” while critic Mike Sington called the remarks “creepy, inappropriate, and downright stomach churning.” Sington added, “Trump is talking about his war and the plight of the Iranian people, when he stops dead in his tracks to put the moves on Fox News host Dana Perino.#donald_trump #fox_news #dana_perino #joe_walsh #spiro_ghost
Donald Trump Reveals Iran's 'Big Present' to US as Hormuz Deadline Delayed US President Donald Trump on Thursday explained his decision to grant Iran an additional 10-day cooling-off period, framing it as a response to a “gift” from Tehran. The move, he said, allowed eight oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz while pausing planned strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure. Trump described the extension as a sign of progress in diplomatic efforts amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Speaking to Fox News, he claimed Iran had approached his administration seeking more time for negotiations, emphasizing that the delay was a reciprocal gesture. Trump stated that Iran had requested additional time during talks, noting that the initial deadline had been set for a 48-hour window. “They said to me very nicely, through my people, ‘Could we have more time?’ Because we’re talking about tomorrow night, which is pretty quick, and if they don’t do what they have to do, I will knock out their power plants,” he said. The president framed the 10-day extension as a reward for Iran’s cooperation, calling the eight oil tankers a “present” during negotiations. “They asked for seven, and I gave them ten. And they were very thankful about that,” he added. The pause on strikes targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure was initially set for five days, but Trump later extended it to 10 days, until Monday, April 6, 2026. In a post on Truth Social, he reiterated that the decision followed a request from the Iranian government and highlighted the progress of ongoing talks. “Talks are ongoing and, despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the Fake News Media, and others, they are going very well,” he wrote.#iran #donald_trump #strait_of_hormuz #truth_social #fox_news
Trump Extends Pause on Attacks on Iran's Energy Facilities to April 6 President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would extend a temporary halt on U.S. military strikes targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure by 10 days, pushing the pause to April 6 at the request of the Iranian government. The decision came as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region. Trump emphasized that negotiations with Iran were progressing despite what he called “erroneous statements” by media outlets. The pause, initially set for a five-day period, was first announced by Trump on Monday via his social media platform, Truth Social. He later clarified in a Fox News interview that Iran had formally requested the extension, though he initially agreed to a one-week delay. Trump claimed the additional time was granted because Iran had allowed 10 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which he framed as a “present” to the United States. The conflict with Iran, which began on February 28, saw coordinated strikes by the U.S. and Israel. The war has significantly disrupted global oil markets, with the Strait of Hormuz—a critical chokepoint for crude oil shipments—remaining largely closed. This has contributed to sharp spikes in oil prices, as reported by financial markets. On Thursday, the S&P 500 index fell by 1.74%, its largest single-day drop since early 2026, while Brent crude oil futures surged over 5.6%, closing at $108.01 per barrel. Trump’s announcement coincided with U.S. efforts to pursue a negotiated resolution to the conflict. He stated that “very substantial talks” were underway with Iran, though Tehran has denied engaging in direct negotiations with Washington.#iran #donald_trump #strait_of_hormuz #truth_social #fox_news
GOP Guest Pushes Back on 'The View' Co-Host Joy Behar Questioning U.S. Military Accomplishments in Iran During a recent episode of "The View," co-host Joy Behar repeatedly raised questions about the United States military’s achievements in Iran, prompting a rebuttal from GOP guest Abby Huntsman. The exchange unfolded during a segment that focused on U.S. foreign policy and military operations. Behar, known for her critical stance on various political issues, challenged the effectiveness of American military actions in the region, suggesting that the outcomes of these efforts were unclear or unremarkable. Huntsman, a former Republican presidential candidate and current Fox News contributor, responded by defending the U.S. military’s role. She emphasized the complexity of geopolitical situations and the challenges of assessing military success in regions with entrenched conflicts. Huntsman argued that the U.S. military’s actions in Iran were part of broader strategic efforts to counter threats and maintain regional stability, though she acknowledged the difficulty of quantifying such outcomes. The discussion highlighted the differing perspectives within political discourse on military interventions. Behar’s questions appeared to reflect skepticism about the tangible benefits of such operations, while Huntsman’s rebuttal underscored the need for a nuanced understanding of military strategy. The exchange drew attention to the broader debate over the role of the U.S. military in international affairs, particularly in regions marked by political instability and complex alliances. The segment also underscored the influence of media platforms in shaping public discourse on foreign policy. As a daytime talk show, "The View" often serves as a venue for political debate, with its co-hosts and guests representing a range of viewpoints.#iran #fox_news #the_view #joy_behar #abby_huntsman
Abby Huntsman Confronted on Pete Hegseth’s Qualifications for Secretary of Defense Abby Huntsman, a former Fox News host and current co-host of The View, found herself under intense scrutiny during a recent episode of the show as other hosts pressed her on Pete Hegseth’s suitability for the role of Secretary of Defense. The discussion unfolded after a clip of Trump criticizing Hegseth was played, with the former president accusing the defense secretary of pushing the U.S. into war with Iran. Huntsman, who previously worked alongside Hegseth on Fox & Friends Weekend from 2017 to 2018, attempted to steer the conversation toward his perceived strengths, but her co-hosts repeatedly challenged her stance. Sunny Hostin, a legal analyst on the panel, repeatedly asked Huntsman whether she believed Hegseth was “qualified” for the position. Huntsman initially avoided answering directly, citing the sensitivity of the topic and the impact of political cartoons and memes on military families. Hostin persisted, prompting Huntsman to express concern about the “game” being played but refusing to commit to a clear opinion. Joy Behar humorously offered to “save” Huntsman from the question, while Sara Haines ultimately answered for her, stating, “I’ll go ahead and say Pete Hegseth is not qualified to run the Department of Defense.” The audience responded with approval, highlighting the growing skepticism toward Hegseth’s candidacy. Huntsman eventually admitted her doubts, stating, “I don’t think Pete’s qualified for the job,” though she emphasized her love for the country and hope that the situation would be handled responsibly. The exchange underscored the political tensions surrounding Hegseth’s role, with Trump’s public criticism of him serving as a focal point.#pete_hegseth #fox_news #the_view #abby_huntsman #sunny_hostin

Fox News Star Emily Compagno Isn't Afraid To Flaunt Her Killer Legs Emily Compagno, a prominent Fox News host, has become known for her bold fashion choices, particularly her emphasis on showcasing her legs through short dresses, micro skirts, and cut-off denim. Her style is a staple of her public appearances, both on the network and in her personal life, where she frequently shares outfits on social media. While many female Fox News anchors adopt similar fashion choices, Compagno’s approach has drawn attention for its consistency and confidence. The practice of highlighting legs in professional settings at Fox News traces back to the network’s leadership under Roger Ailes, who served as chairman and CEO from 1996 to 2016. During his tenure, female anchors were often encouraged to wear revealing outfits, with camera angles and set designs—such as glass tables—intentionally drawing focus to their legs. Despite Ailes’ departure in 2016 amid sexual harassment allegations, the dress code for female hosts has remained largely unchanged. Anchors continue to face expectations to maintain a polished, glamorous appearance, often featuring heavy makeup and elaborate hairstyles. Compagno, however, embraces this aesthetic without hesitation, frequently opting for short, stylish outfits that align with the network’s visual identity. Compagno’s fashion choices have also been noted for their trendiness and individuality. She has been spotted in off-the-shoulder tops paired with tan skirts and knee-high boots, a look that sets her apart from some of her peers. For instance, fellow Fox News anchor Ainsley Earhardt has faced criticism for clinging to outdated fashion trends, while Compagno’s wardrobe consistently reflects a modern, confident style.#fox_news #emily_compagno #roger_ailes #ainsley_earhardt #tomi_lahren

Her style often sparks conversation among viewers, with many noting her ability to maintain a striking presence while avoiding the typical fashion missteps seen in newsrooms. Compagno’s approach to dressing for work is both intentional and provocative, reflecting her personality and the dynamic nature of her role.

A California native, she is a seasoned attorney, bestselling author, and legal analyst, with a reputation for delivering sharp insights on current events.

This early exposure to high-energy environments may have contributed to the charisma and boldness she brings to her broadcasting career today.

Sunny Hostin Pressures Abby Huntsman to Acknowledge Pete Hegseth's Unfitness for Defense Secretary Role On Tuesday, The View co-host Sunny Hostin repeatedly pressed guest Abby Huntsman to admit that Pete Hegseth, her former Fox News colleague, is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. The exchange escalated when Hostin repeatedly asked Huntsman directly, prompting Joy Behar to intervene with a sarcastic remark. The discussion followed remarks by former President Donald Trump, who praised Hegseth for advocating military action against Iran. During an event in Memphis, Trump called Hegseth “the first” person in his administration to push for offensive measures against Iran. Some analysts interpreted Trump’s comments as a potential signal of internal conflict within his administration, particularly given Huntsman’s past association with Hegseth. Huntsman, who previously co-hosted Fox & Friends with Hegseth, described him as “toast” if Trump’s policies fail, warning that his role could harm his career. When Hostin questioned whether Hegseth was qualified for the Defense Secretary position, Huntsman avoided a direct answer, instead criticizing the media’s portrayal of military matters as trivial. She argued that the approach to foreign policy resembles “checkers” rather than “chess,” suggesting a lack of strategic depth. Hostin persisted with her questioning, leading Behar to quip, “Do you want me to save you from Sunny?” Eventually, Sara Haines stepped in to state, “I’ll go ahead and say Pete Hegseth is not qualified to run the Department of Defense.” The segment highlighted tensions over Trump’s choice of advisors, with Huntsman criticizing the president’s tendency to appoint loyalists over experts.#pete_hegseth #fox_news #the_view #abby_huntsman #sunny_hostin

She also shared her initial thoughts on the pregnancy, recalling her hopes for a daughter who would enjoy coloring. However, she quickly shifted to her current joy, stating, “I just knew I was having another boy. And I knew this baby is just such a blessing from God.” Kilmeade humorously remarked on the logistical challenges of having another child, noting, “You said when you have another baby, you’ve got to think about moving out of the city and Long Island wants you to move out.” Shimkus confirmed the comment, explaining that a close friend has been sending her property listings for homes in Massapequa, New York. She joked about the possibility of becoming neighbors, suggesting that relocating would provide a “built-in babysitter” for her son. The couple, who married in 2015 after dating since 2013, welcomed their first child, Brock, in January 2023. At the time, they shared a heartfelt message: “Welcome to the world, sweet Brock.

Lindsey Graham invokes Iwo Jima in call for Trump to 'take Kharg Island' Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) urged President Donald Trump to seize Kharg Island, Iran’s primary oil export hub, during an appearance on Fox News, drawing a parallel to the historic Battle of Iwo Jima. Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Graham told host Shannon Bream: “We did Iwo Jima, we can do this.” He emphasized his confidence in the U.S. military’s ability to secure the island, which lies approximately 20 miles off Iran’s coast, and called for Trump to maintain pressure on Iran until the goal is achieved. “Keep it up for a few more weeks, take Kharg Island where all of the resources they have to produce oil, control that island, let this regime die on a vine,” Graham said. Graham’s remarks followed a recent analysis by The Atlantic magazine, which warned that an invasion of Kharg could escalate into a prolonged and costly conflict. The publication described the operation as a “grinding war of attrition,” citing the island’s strategic significance and the potential for high casualties. In response, Graham dismissed the analysis as “armchair quarterbacking,” asserting his trust in the Marine Corps and the Department of Defense. “I trust the Marines, not that guy,” he said, referring to the Atlantic’s pessimistic assessment. Graham highlighted the deployment of two Marine expeditionary units to the region, reinforcing his belief in the feasibility of the mission. The Battle of Iwo Jima, one of the bloodiest conflicts of World War II, resulted in nearly 7,000 U.S. service members killed and over 20,000 wounded. The battle was a critical part of the U.S. military’s island-hopping strategy to advance toward Japan, securing airbases for bombers. Graham’s invocation of Iwo Jima underscored his argument that the U.S.#donald_trump #kharg_island #lindsey_graham #fox_news #shannon_bream
Tornado watch vs. warning: How to stay safe during severe weather Tornadoes may be a rare occurrence in the Northeast, but it is still important to know when and how to stay safe when severe weather threatens your home. Understanding the difference between a tornado watch and a warning can help you take the right steps to protect yourself and your family. A tornado watch is issued when weather conditions favor thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes in a specific region. This means that tornadoes are possible, and you should stay alert for additional alerts and be prepared to seek shelter. During a tornado watch, it is crucial to monitor the situation closely and have an emergency plan in place. When a tornado has been sighted on the ground or is indicated by weather radar, a tornado warning is issued. This means a tornado is happening or about to happen, and you should seek shelter immediately. The National Weather Service emphasizes that during a tornado warning, there is "imminent danger to life and property," and people are urged to move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows. To stay safe during a tornado, experts recommend the following steps: Get off the road and seek shelter, but avoid highway overpasses. Stay indoors until it is safe to come out. Wear a helmet and use blankets, pillows, or a mattress to protect yourself from debris. Charge your devices, have enough food and water for at least three days, and identify a safe shelter in advance. Those in tornado watch areas are advised to review and discuss emergency plans, check supplies, and review a safe room in case conditions change.#national_weather_service #fox_news #tornado_watch #readyphiladelphia #tornado_warning
