4:11Now PlayingDuring a broadcast this week, Fox News host Eric Shawn wondered out loud if Donald Trump could have sold top secret intelligence to the Russians. It certainly is a valid question, and the fact that it came from an anchor at Fox News is absolutely shocking. While most of the network still defends the former president, it is clear that the dam is breaking at the network. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

This past weekend on Fox news host Eric, Sean, openly wondered whether or not Donald Trump had sold top secret information to our foreign adversaries. Maybe it went to China. Maybe it went to Russia. We don't know. He says, let me read this quote from Eric, Sean again, Fox news weekend host. So not one of the big players, but still big enough to be a host on Fox news. And more questions are being raised this morning. Did former president Trump try to sell or share the highly classified material to the Russians or to the Saudis or others? Or were the documents innocently, mishandled and stored because he thought he had a legal right to have him. He then of course threw it to a Russian state media segment that said that Russia already had some of the information that of course had been stored down at Mar Lago.
Now we don't know if that's true again, it's coming from Russian media. You can't really trust much of what those folks say over there. So you have a Fox news host who is putting it out there as a question like, did he do this? Is this a possibility? Or was it all just an innocent mistake by a really stupid guy? But the fact that he said it, that is remarkable. And what else is remarkable about Fox news? Right? Last night you actually had Laura Ingram who went out there and said like, Hey, it's okay. If Trump had the nuclear secrets of another country hidden at Mar Lago because the CIA actually has websites, you know, where they just kind of put that stuff. So totally innocent. Donald Trump did nothing wrong. So that's, what's happening on Fox news in the evening. And then in the morning programs, which is where Eric, Sean was on.
It's where Steve Ducey is. They're out there sounding the alarm bells like holy crap. This is terrible. Donald Trump is in a lot of trouble. What he did is a hundred percent wrong. They're calling out these morning, hosts all these other, you know, lawmakers, Christy known from South Dakota, uh, Ducey got in a fight with Steve Scalise earlier this week, over how bad this is, how bad what Trump did is. And then in the evenings it's like, oh, it's all overblown, nothing. Nothing's wrong here. Everything's great. You're allowed to do this. They're on the web. Anyway. It doesn't matter. There is such a massive difference between what happens on Fox news before noon and what happens on Fox news after 5:00 PM, right? It's like two totally different networks because they are just on absolutely different planets right now. But the dam is breaking. And that's the important part. That's the big takeaway from what Eric Sean said, from what Steve Ducey is doing, Brett Bayer, uh, you have other hosts on the network that of course are starting to break and say, wow, this is really awful. Except those evening hosts, man, they're not
Gonna gonna give in. They're not gonna let it go. They're gonna continue telling us that. Nope, Trump did nothing wrong. Stealing documents was probably the right thing to do in this particular instance, right? They're never gonna give it up, but more and more of the rest of the network is, and that's, what's important because even though those evening hosts, they get the most viewers, you still have a couple million people tuning in and outta that network throughout the day. And if some of them are able to get the truth, if some of them are able to see these hard, right.
