Tensions boiled over during a heated segment on Fox News when Harold Ford Jr. suddenly launched a bold, unfiltered attack on co-host Jesse Watters that no one saw coming. With just three sharp words, Ford cut through the noise and left the studio momentarily speechless. Was it personal? Was it political? Or was it something deeper brewing behind the scenes between the two stars?

Find out what really led to the fiery exchange and what it means for the future of Fox’s most-watched show.

Fox News host Harold Ford Jr. has launched a blistering attack on Jesse Watters over Trump’s proposed tax bill.

Trump’s proposed bill, dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” plans to extend his 2017 tax cuts, lowering taxes for individuals and corporations, while slashing programs like Medicaid and food assistance that help low-income Americans.

Following the headlines, Harold didn’t hold back on his thoughts as he shared a fiery speech opposing the cuts live on air. While appearing on the program, the host was quick to slam the plan, saying the bill mainly benefits the wealthy and does little for the middle and working class.

Speaking during a segment, Ford made it clear that both Republicans and Democrats need to be honest with Americans about how tax money is being spent and who really gains from tax cuts.

He stated that the idea tax cuts help regular Americans just isn’t true, saying: “Tax cuts – as much as the president and Republicans want to say this tax bill extending things are going to help middle-class Americans, the vast majority of people who are going to be helped by the tax cuts are the wealthiest, because there’s one other number.

He continued: “Over the last 12 years, the S&P has gone up almost 400%, and the only way to benefit from the stock market is if you have money invested in the stock market and you have to have a lot for that to benefit you.”

He also called on Republicans to be more responsible, adding: “So, I say to Democrats: you have to cut spending. I say to Republicans: stop kidding Americans that you’re not raising — that you’re not cutting taxes for the richest Americans. Why not raise taxes on those earning two and half million or more to pay for these things?”

“So, we may differ a little bit, but one thing we agree on, the debt is not going to go down because of this and the people that are going to benefit the most are not middle-class, working-class Americans, it’s going to be some people around this table and people much richer than this.”

Trump is pushing to get the bill passed by May 26 and is pressuring Republicans to back it. However, some disagree with parts of the bill, especially changes to healthcare and tax deductions. The bill also includes around $4.9 trillion (€3.7 trillion) in tax breaks.

However, it still has a long road ahead as it needs a full House vote before moving on to the Senate, where even more Republican skepticism awaits. Despite pushback from within his own party, Trump tried to present a united front after meeting with House Republicans. “This was a meeting of love, there was great unity in that room,” he stated. “We’re going to have a great victory.”
