Fox News host Harris Faulkner highlighted several intriguing moments during the first half of 2025.
Faulkner, who hosts “The Faulkner Focus” and “Outnumbered” on weekdays, sat down for an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation, which was shared in three parts in May. Here are some standout moments that sparked considerable discussion.

“Was it challenging to misrepresent the truth in the end?”
A week after President Trump was sworn in for a second term, former Biden administration official Meghan Hayes joined the show to talk about the economy. Faulkner probed into the Biden administration’s consistent promotion of “bidenomics.”
“Was it tough to distort the truth in the end?” Faulkner asked. “It’s confusing that the administration’s message didn’t hit home, especially when they claimed ‘Bidenomics’ wasn’t benefiting people.”

“Are you actually rooting for America?”
Faulkner pressed a former New York Democratic senator about the state of the country after Caldwell accused Republicans of ruining it.
“Are you actually rooting for America? That’s how it comes off—are you?” Faulkner pressed.
“No, definitely not!” Caldwell responded.

“Did you hear the nonsense?”
Faulkner didn’t hold back in challenging Democrat strategist Fred Hicks as he tried to sidestep some criticisms.
“No, no, no!” Faulkner interjected. “Did you hear the nonsense?”
The two ended up in a heated exchange regarding Democrats and their response to the 2020 election.
“Is your party dismantling itself while laughing at the American public?” Faulkner questioned Hicks.
“They’re not fighting with the public; they’re airing their grievances,” Hicks retorted. Faulkner countered, “Don’t excuse that bad behavior.”

“Are you considering calling us people of color again?”
Following a speech by former President Biden in Chicago, Faulkner expressed astonishment at the broadcast.
“Biden spoke for about 30 minutes instead of the hour planned, and it was filled with some unsettling phrases and a tinge of hypocrisy,” she noted before playing a clip from the speech.
“So he wants to revert to calling us ‘people of color’?” Faulkner exclaimed after the clip. “This is quite a mess. Here’s the kicker: he wants to talk about dignity a few months after labeling Trump supporters as garbage.”

“You can’t be fooled like that.”
In an interview with DCNF, Faulkner indicated there was more to discuss regarding Biden’s decline. When she asked former Democrat Pat Murphy about this, he asserted that those around Biden were being too kind.
“Politics is cutthroat,” Faulkner remarked. “You think they’re just trying to be nice?”
“Well, both parties have their inner circles,” Murphy replied. “You know you can’t be fooled like that; you’ve got to see reality.”

“You live in a sanctuary state, right?”
Faulkner also addressed resistance to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts to detain undocumented immigrants. During an “Outnumbered” episode, Democratic strategist Leslie Marshall complained about ICE.
“We’re frustrated that ICE isn’t targeting the gangs, who they know are out there,” Marshall argued.
“Wait a second,” Faulkner interrupted. “Do you live in a sanctuary state?”
Overall, the interviews and discussions on Faulkner’s shows have sparked intense conversations about the political landscape and the administration’s approaches.
