FOX News Media’s Stuart Varney and Dana Perino will co-moderate the second Republican presidential primary debate alongside Univision's Ilia Calderón on Sept. 27 on FOX Business Network. "We are very proud to have Stuart Varney and Dana Perino co-moderating the second debate with Univision to provide Americans with a comprehensive view of the qualifying candidates vying for the Republican nomination for president," FOX News Media President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace said. FOX Business will host the debate from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute in Simi Valley, California.

Fox Business host Stuart Varney blasted former President Trump, saying his time as the leader of the GOP is likely coming to an end and a loss by Herschel Walker in Tuesday’s Georgia Senate runoff election would essentially be Trump’s fault. “There’s a lot at stake here, more than just a balance of power in the Senate, it’s about the state of the Republican Party and Trump’s role in it,” Varney said Tuesday of Georgia’s runoff contest. “He seems to be losing what used to be his iron grip on the GOP and he still has a hard core of...

Stuart Varney's show on Fox Business has been a staple for me in the mornings for a very long time. I liked him — his story, his style, and the way he brings along others to build their careers. He has always maintained his dignity and been civil to his guests. Now, however, he has a full-blown case of Trump Derangement Syndrome and is blowing a long career for it. He doesn't like Trump. Okay, I get it. Since just before the election, however, he has become an activist and an unfair one at that. He has a segment called...

President Donald Trump joined Stuart Varney on FOX Business Network on Tuesday morning. Stuart Varney started the interview by asking President Trump about the election today in Georgia. Trump is backing David Perdue over Brian Kemp in the gubernatorial race. Brian Kemp allowed Democrats and their ballot traffickers to steal the presidential election and then two US Senate seats in 2020 and early 2021. Stuart Varney insisted that the American public does not want to look back on the 2020 election. It was a disgraceful performance by Stuart Varney. He needs to get out of his media bubble some time....

Fox Business host Stuart Varney ripped the draconian lockdowns inflicted by states in the U.S. in an editorialized segment of his show. Varney didn’t mince words when he began his segment with the following statement: “Enough is enough!” He continued: “I think I can say that America is truly tired of lockdowns and absolutely fed up with school closures. The pandemic is winding down, and it’s high time public policy reflected that.”

Renowned economic advisor to late President Ronald Reagan Art Laffer remains very optimistic about a rapid economic recovery, which flies right in the face of the apocalyptic narratives put out by the media. Laffer concluded that once big states “get pro-growth, once they get the restrictions removed because the disease incidence is less, you’re going to get that economy continuing to boom. I think we’re perfectly poised for a very, very rapid, continued recovery in this economy. “I am very optimistic about the country and the economy,” Laffer said.

Americans for Tax Reform founder Grover Norquist struck down the idea that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s tax hikes will be good for people’s wallets and life savings. Fox Business Host Stuart Varney questioned Norquist during Thursday’s edition of Varney & Co on the effects a “$2, $3, $4 trillion-dollar tax hike” would have on the economy if implemented right now. Norquist responded that when President Donald Trump and the Republicans “cut taxes” and “deregulated, the S&P 500” was “up 50 percent” from when the president got elected to the height of COVID. He continued: “Your life savings increased 50...

One Fox Business host is letting the Joe Biden camp know what he thinks about his massive leftist spending plans. And he ripped them apart.

Stuart Varney, host of “Varney & Co.” on Fox Business, said Wednesday the new Wall Street record high can be attributed to the “Trump growth agenda,” which he said “has been wildly successful.” Varney made the statements on “Fox & Friends” the morning after the S&P 500 hit an all-time high, recovering from last year's dramatic plunge. “We’re in earnings season. That's the time when the big corporations tell us how much money did you make. That's what they are telling us right now,” said Varney, a Fox News business contributor on “Fox & Friends.” “The expectation was the profits...

I found this very hard to believe: A giant company, whose code of conduct used to be "Don't be evil,” is now working on a censorship and surveillance project for the Chinese government. The communist Chinese government.  The company is Google. Once the darling of technology. Now helping to create China's version of Big Brother. I'll explain. It’s called Project Dragonfly. It’s a search engine designed especially for China.  It would allow the authorities there to exercise strong censorship power. If, for example, someone searched for "human rights" or "protests,” the authorities would be alerted and no search results would be shown. That’s exactly...

Venezuela is clearly having its moment in the American conservative mediasphere. The country’s catastrophic collapse is, we’re told, all we need to know about the terrifying dangers of socialism. First there was Meghan McCain turning Venezuela into Exhibit A in her screed against socialism on ABC’s “The View.” On Fox Business Network, Stuart Varney used Venezuela’s latest bout of instability as a “teaching moment” for Americans tempted by “pie-in-the-sky” socialism. Off on the fringes, it’s a popular theme, too: Remember that the priceless Infowars gotcha video with the world’s most unflappable sailor girl turned on the killer line: “You know...

The congressional calendar is jammed. There are serious doubts that there's room for all the legislation that's lined up waiting for a vote. ... There are just 12 days before the end of September, when the House and Senate are in session together. In those 12 days, Congress has to pass a budget and a debt ceiling extension. That's surely very difficult. Now throw in the Republican Party walking away from the Republican president. That is what's happening. And the chances of getting a budget, debt ceiling, health care, tax cuts and infrastructure done this year are surely slim and...

Apparently many are being fooled by this outrageous story of how one gun store in "Podunk" Pennsylvania sold 30,000 AR-15's in 5 days after the Orlando shooting. This is an amazing feat of 21st century commerce since their "web presence" looks like something from the early 1990's. I've seen this Fox Business News story repeated on The Blaze, Washington Free Beacon, etc. This is patently absurd that no one from any reputable source has questioned this. Does no one fact check anymore (besides FreeRepublic)? The Hunters Warehouse owner, Tom Engle, told Stuart Varney of Fox Business News on June 17th...

Fox has suspended commenters Stacey Dash and Ralph Peters for two weeks after two separate instances of on-air profanity while criticizing President Obama. Peters referred to the president as a common slang for female anatomy when he appeared on Fox Business Network on Monday morning. His comments were not "bleeped," although Peters was reprimanded on-air by host Stuart Varney. Peters then apologized for his prior language. Later on Monday, Dash said that Obama "doesn't give a s--t" about terrorism during the show Outnumbered. Dash's comments were partially censored.

I suppose that this was probably pretty inevitable. Lt. Col. Ralph Peters has been suspended by FoxNews for two weeks after calling Obama a "p***y" on air last night, as he can be seen doing here, with video from our own Caleb Howe: [VIDEO] I do not know Lt. Col. Ralph Peters. In fact, until this morning I had literally never heard of him. However, I find it hilarious to imagine how a military man so crusty that he called the President of the United States a "p***y" live on air probably reacted to the news when it was handed...

Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters called President Obama “a total pussy” during a live interview Monday for what he views as his impotent response to the threat of Islamic extremist terrorism. Peters, a Fox News military analyst, appeared on Stuart Varney’s Fox Business program to respond to Obama’s Sunday night Oval Office address on the threat of terrorism, a speech that was widely panned. Peters, a fierce critic of Obama’s national security policies, was visibly angry as he blasted the speech. Peters said he was taken aback by Obama’s continued references to Americans not giving into their fears....

"This guy is such a total pussy, it's stunning." Fox News contributor Ralph Peters, has taken the anti-Obama rhetoric one step way too far. "Look, Mr. President we're not afraid, we're angry, we're pissed off, we're furious!" Peters, a regular Fox commentator and military analyst, said when asked for his reaction to the address on Monday. "We want you to react, we want you to do something!" The wildly offensive remark was even too much for host Stuart Varney, who finally interrupted Peters to say that while he may be "very angry," he "can't use language like that on the...

Two Fox News commentators were suspended on Monday for using profanities while criticizing President Obama on Monday. Ralph Peters, a Fox News "strategic analyst," called the president a "total pu---" who "doesn't want to hurt our enemies." A couple of hours later Stacey Dash, a Fox contributor, said the president "didn't give a sh--" about Sunday night's terrorism speech. "Earlier today, Fox contributors Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash made comments on different programs that were completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air," Fox senior executive vice president Bill Shine said. "Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel do...

<p>Fox News contributor Stacey Dash committed a big cable news no-no Monday afternoon, saying that President Barack Obama didn't "give a shit" during his Sunday speech on terrorism.</p> <p>"It's ridiculous," she said on Fox's Outnumbered. "His speech was an epic fail. It was like when you have to go to dinner with your parents, but you have a party to go to afterwards, that's what it felt like."</p>
