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, October 4:
• In the face of criticism from the left and right, President Bush insisted today that Harriet Miers is the best-qualified candidate for the Supreme Court and assured skeptical conservatives that his lawyer-turned-nominee shares his judicial philosophy and won't stray from a rightward course. Carl Cameron has a report.
• Then, Harriet Miers (search) is spending another day meeting with leading Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill where many are sure to try to figure out her philosophy on issues like abortion. Is she a born again Christian? Is she pro-life? Jim Angle takes a look.
• And if avian flu (search) or a pandemic hits the United States, would the administration have a plan ready to quarantine the sick, vaccinate the public and, if necessary, bury people quickly? Major Garrett assesses how President Bush would deal with an outbreak.
• And while violence continues in Iraq, the Marines have kicked off a large offensive in Haditha called "Operation River Gate." It is a battle to root out insurgents in the Euphrates River Valley. Bret Baier sits down with the commander of the main unit in charge.
• Plus, a Texas grand jury on Monday indicted Rep. Tom DeLay (search) on a new charge of money laundering. The embattled Congressman says this new indictment shows that prosecutor Ronnie Earle has stooped to a new low with his brand of prosecutorial abuse. Brian Wilson has more.
• Also, Laura Ingle has the latest news from the hard hit region in a live report from New Orleans.
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!
