• With John Roberts' approval to become the next chief justice of the United States, who will replace Sandra Day O'Connor (search) and become the next member of the nation's most exclusive club? Carl Cameron takes a look at the possibilities.
• Then, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (search) was indicted Wednesday by a Texas grand jury on a charge of conspiring to violate political fundraising laws. DeLay stepped down from his post while the case is being investigated. Brian Wilson looks at the charges. What is legal and illegal?
• And Major Garrett continues his reporting on gas prices by looking at how the oil companies set with their prices and how this affects consumers.
• Plus, U.S. troops could begin coming home from Iraq next year, but it depends on conditions during and after the upcoming elections there, a top U.S. commander in Iraq told Congress. Greg Kelly has a report.
• And Steve Brown has the latest from New Orleans in a live report.
• Then, it must have seemed like a good idea at the time: Hurricane Katrina (search) victims on cruise ships. But with a price tag over $200 million dollars and many not even using the ships, the idea is beginning to look like a massive boondoggle. William La Jeunesse has the details.
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 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!
