Join host Brit Hume and FOX's Team Washington weekdays at 6 p.m. ET for "Special Report" — Find out what's happening inside the Beltway and on the world stage.
Real journalism: fair and balanced. That's why we're No. 1 — FOX News Channel.
Tuesday, Feb. 1:
President Bush goes before Congress and the nation Wednesday night with his annual State of the Union (search) message. Carl Cameron previews issues the President will address including major changes in Social Security to a loosening of the nation's immigration laws.
Mike Tobin reports on the latest from Iraq including reports that Iraq's president said that it would be "complete nonsense" to ask foreign troops to leave the country now, although some could depart by year's end.
And a bipartisan Social Security bill (search) is under review in the House, but will it pass? Jim Angle investigates.
And the Senate is now debating the nomination of Alberto Gonzales (search) for U.S. Attorney General. Will he run into the same kind of criticism from Democrats that Condoleezza Rice (search) faced? And will the Democrats filibuster the Gonzales nomination? Brian Wilson has a report.
Plus, the latest on the college professor who says victims of the 9/11 attacks were not "innocent civilians," but "military targets," and compared the victims to “Nazis.” Ward Churchill (search), the professor, amid outcry over his statements has resigned as department chair at the University of Colorado (search) and cancelled a speaking appearance at Hamilton College in New York after receiving death threats. Correspondent Carol McKinley is following the story from Denver.
And Jonathan Hunt has the latest on the continuing saga of the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food scandal.

About the Show
Anchored by Washington news veteran Brit Hume, "Special Report with Brit Hume" provides an in-depth look at the day's news and offers a daily topical discussion of political issues impacting the nation.
Hume serves as host to key newsmakers, political pundits and FOX News contributors exchanging views about political matters from taxes and Social Security to international affairs and the political scandal of the day.
Hume brings a historical perspective to the political scene that is rarely rivaled. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he has covered the policies, procedures and players in the national game called politics for more than 30 years. The Baltimore Sun referred to him as "the very personification of the political establishment."
Each program features a two-minute segment called The Grapevine, which reels off the latest outrageous news nuggets, political poll results and in-the-Beltway gossip that viewers will not see on any other news program. The New York Daily News describes The Grapevine as a must see that, "will make you sound smart around the water cooler… the next day."
FOX News' Team Washington provides live reports from the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and key federal agencies. Seasoned correspondents, including Carl Cameron, Wendell Goler and Major Garrett, explore political hot spots, races and legislative battles being waged around the nation and abroad.
Hume wraps up each program with a lively roundtable discussion featuring Mara Liasson of National Public Radio, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard and Mort Kondracke of Roll Call.
And more people watch FNC's Primetime than all of the cable news competition combined!
