Dennis Quaid has a scary proposition he wants to share — and it just so happens, Fox News is happy to oblige.
Quaid — star of such films as “The Right Stuff,” “Innerspace” and “The Rookie” — made a return appearance on the network Thursday night to promote an Armageddon-style documentary he narrated about the U.S. power grid, “Grid Down, Power Up.”
“Every aspect of our lives that we take for granted every day is — we’re going to have to deal with it another way. And it won’t be good,” Quaid told Sean Hannity, warning of the dangers involved if the nation’s power grid goes down as the result of a cyberattack, an electromagnetic pulse or “even a massive solar flare.”
Hannity was in full agreement, calling them “attacks we’ve never dreamed of.” You can watch the video interview in the embed above.
But Quaid — surprise! — has answers to the problem,...

During Jesse Watters’ first show in Tucker Carlson’s coveted 8 p.m. slot on Fox News, his mom called in with some sage advice, telling the host: “Do not tumble into any conspiracy rabbit holes.”
As the show came to an end, Watters took a call from his Democrat mom, who said: “I have enjoyed the show. I want to say congratulations, honeybun, we are so proud of you and your accomplishments, and you’ve worked so hard. Now, let’s aim to have you keep your job.”
Carlson, the most-watched primetime host on Fox News, had been known to stoke conspiracy theories, especially in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 insurrection. In April, it was announced that Carlson had exited Fox News just days after parent company Fox Corp. agreed to pay $787.5 million in a settlement to Dominion Voting Systems in a defamation case in which...

Fox News’ lineup changes will shift two familiar faces, Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld, to primetime — a move that is bound to secure a ratings bump while ushering in a new brand of extremism that media experts warn could be a “liability” for the network in the wake of the Dominion Voting Systems settlement.
Announced just over two months after Tucker Carlson’s abrupt departure, Watters has effectively been crowned his successor after taking over the 8 p.m. timeslot, which had been occupied by “Fox News Tonight” since Carlson’s absence.
“Crowning odious Jesse Watters as the new face of Fox News is a reflection of Fox’s dogged commitment to bigotry and deceit as well as an indication of their desperation to regain audience share,” said Angelo Carusone, president of...

Fox News unveiled a new primetime lineup, with Jesse Watters moving to Tucker Carlson’s old 8 p.m. Et time slot and Laura Ingraham slotted earlier in the evening at 7 p.m.
Hannity will remain at 9 p.m. Et, while Greg Gutfeld’s show will take over Ingraham’s slot at 10 p.m. Et.
The network also said that Fox News @ Night with Trace Gallagher would move to 11 p.m. Et.
The changes will be effective as of July 17.
A scheduling shakeup had been anticipated since Fox News pulled Carlson’s show in April, leaving the 8 p.m. Et hour with a series of rotating hosts as Fox News Tonight. Although the show has been winning the time period against cable news rivals, it has generally drawn about half of Carlson’s audience, while Newsmax has had a ratings bump during the time period and MSNBC has improved its performance.
