The three-part program, which debuts Monday, features four contestants who have been kept in complete isolation in upstate New York — with no phones, internet, TV or social media — during the first three months of the Trump administration.

'For these four contestants to learn what really happened while they were living in isolation, they'll have to get through me first. Lucky them,' Gutfeld quipped.
Gutfeld will present the contestants with dozens of scenarios during their seclusion, which took place from Jan. 20 through April 13 and the winner must decipher the real headlines from fake ones.

With a prize of $50,000 on the line, their news judgment and senses of humor will be put to the test in front of a live audience and a panel featuring 'Gutfeld!' regulars Kat Timpf and Jamie Lissow.
In one clip, bewildered contestants mulled whether the following headline is real or fake: 'Dr. Fauci is finally charged with fraud and misconduct in public office for his role in COVID.'
In this round, contestants worked together to figure out if the headline was legit.
'I don't think that's true,' said a contestant named Allegra.

After quick consultation, they all agreed and guessed correctly that the headline was false.

The network is hoping to capitalize on Gutfeld's popularity. The host's late-night show, which airs from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., just delivered its highest-rated quarter in the program's four-year history with 3.3 million viewers and 453,000 in the advertiser-coveted 25 to 54-year-olds, according to Fox.
That's much stronger than late-night rival 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,' which starts at 11:35 p.m. Colbert's CBS show attracted 2.4 million total viewers in the quarter and 237,000 viewers in the demo, ratings website Late Nighter reported.
Meanwhile, 'The Five' averaged 4.6 million viewers in the first quarter of the year, topping all programs on cable for the last 14 consecutive quarters, Fox said.

Rubio-run State Department dumps Biden-era DEI hiring criteria, replaces with 'fidelity'
FIRST ON FOX: The State Department has changed its hiring and promoting criteria for foreign service officers to eliminate any diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) considerations. Before now, the second of five core precepts used in State Department hiring and promotion emphasized promoting DEI, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital. That precept has now been replaced with one focused on "fidelity." A senior State Department official said it was "unbelievable" fidelity was not already part of the promotion criteria. "This is a commonsense and needed change. U.S. Foreign Service Officers represent America overseas and should be judged on their ability to faithfully and dutifully represent and champion our country abroad." The department's previous hiring guide for 2022–2025 required foreign service employees to "demonstrate impact in diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility," according to the internal documents. Entry-level applicants were expected to proactively seek to "improve one's own self-awareness with respect to promoting inclusivity." Mid- and senior-level supervisors were told to recruit and retain diverse teams, respond immediately to non-inclusive workplace behaviors, and "consult with impacted staff before finalizing decisions." That guidance is now out. The department's new document for 2025–2028 lists "fidelity" as the first of five core precepts, followed by communication, leadership, management and knowledge. Under the new policy, mid- and senior-level Foreign Service Officers must demonstrate loyalty by "zealously executing U.S. government policy" and "resolving uncertainty on the side of fidelity to one's chain of command." The move comes amid a government-wide effort to eliminate DEI within federal agencies, and root out those who they believe to be working to undermine President Donald Trump's agenda. The State Department has also frozen the Foreign Service Officer Test (FSOT) – typically administered three times a year – as it moves to restructure and potentially downsize its workforce. In May, the department submitted a plan to Congress outlining a 15% reduction of its 19,000 employees and the consolidation of over 300 bureaus and agency offices. While a court order has temporarily paused mass layoffs across federal agencies, a recent Supreme Court ruling determined that nationwide injunctions issued by federal district courts "likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted."

How the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Could Affect Small Businesses
President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" is set to be voted on in the House on Thursday ahead of the President's July 4 deadline to pass the bill. (There's even a Domino's Pizza-style tracker on the White House website — "We are preparing your tax cuts..." it reads.) The 887-page bill includes tax and spending cuts that will affect small businesses. Related: Big Government Changes Are Coming for Small Businesses — What You Need to Know On Fox News' "Mornings With Maria" on Wednesday, CPA and small business owner Gene Marks said the big winners of the bill "are small businesses." "I think that's going to have an enormous impact on the growth of businesses in this country," Marks said. "There are certain tax provisions in this bill, investing in capital equipment, spending on research and development, [increasing] the exemption for estate taxes, [and] they've all been made permanent, which means that small businesses can make long-term decisions about investing in their businesses, selling their businesses, or passing it on to new generations knowing that the laws aren't going to change." Ahead of the bill becoming law, here are some key items affecting businesses big and small: Corporations The tax breaks from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would be permanent when the bill passes, which allows businesses to write off the costs of research and development. When the Ways and Means Committee voted to make the 2017 cuts permanent, they said that the provisions "will provide small businesses, manufacturers, and farmers the certainty and confidence to fuel a second Trump economic boom through new investment and job creation." "Families and workers will save money from lower tax rates, a larger Child Tax Credit, and President Trump's tax priorities for hardworking Americans: tax relief for seniors, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime pay, and no tax on auto loan interest for American-made cars," the committee wrote on its website in May. Building and construction Businesses would be able to deduct the cost of building new manufacturing facilities in full and at a much faster rate. According to Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), which represents 23,000 members and "millions" of construction workers, its website says, the legislation includes several tax provisions that will "directly benefit contractors." "Tax certainty and pro-growth policies are not abstract policy goals for construction businesses—they are the foundation that allows ABC members to invest, grow, and keep America building," said Kristen Swearingen, ABC vice president of government affairs. Franchises The bill is backed by the International Franchise Association (IFA). President and CEO Matt Haller told Entrepreneur in June that the tax provisions in the bill "will have a hugely positive impact on America's 830,000 franchise small business owners and their nine million employees." Related: Here's What the 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill' Means for the Franchise Industry "IFA, our member brands and franchise owners have been laser-focused on ensuring permanent tax relief," Haller said. "IFA thanks President Trump for putting the importance of protecting franchise small business owners front and center, and lawmakers for their work to get this bill across the finish line." Eliminates tax on tips In occupations where workers receive tips (restaurants, bars, beauty services, etc.), earned tips will no longer be taxed as taxable income. There are a few caveats, though: The provision expires in 2028, and the deduction is capped at $25,000. The exemption only applies to federal income tax, meaning state and local income and payroll taxes would not apply. Also, in the new Senate version of the bill, workers earning $150,000 or more a year ($300,000 for joint filers) are exempt. No tax on overtime White House estimates suggest that employees who work overtime hours would save up to $2,000 in taxes yearly with the bill. "Exempting overtime pay from federal income tax delivers direct, meaningful relief to the hardworking men and women of the construction trades, rewarding long hours on the jobsite," the Associated Builders and Contractors said in a statement. However, the AP reports that the bill does not eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits. Interest deductions If approved, the bill suggests that instead of calculating with EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), deductions should be calculated using EBITDA (adds depreciation and amortization), which, the White House says, would allow businesses and franchises to deduct billions more in expenses. State and local taxes (SALT) deductions If the bill passes, the cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes (SALT) will increase from $10,000 to $40,000 starting in 2025. According to the Tax Foundation, this will mainly benefit high earners.
