News network Fox News haulted its coverage on Monday for breaking news as President Donald Trump greeted the Australian prime minister at the White House.
During the Oct. 20 episode of Faulkner Focus, host Harris Faulkner was speaking to Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell about the New York City mayoral race when she abruptly cut to footage of Trump greeting Anthony Albanese as he arrived at the White House.
After yet another abrupt cut to the network’s coverage, she told viewers, “This is breaking right now. The president greeting the Australian prime minister. Gianno, I’ll come back to you. Let’s watch this live.”
She added, “And as the Australian prime minister arrives, I said set this up a couple of minutes ago. Rare earth minerals are at the heart of this.
“We have a friendship with Australia. So, the president will greet the Australian prime minister and they will sit down. Let’s listen. Sometimes you can hear something.”
Audio was then heard of a reporter asking the president, “Your message to the people of Australia,” to which Trump yelled back, “We love them.”
Another reporter asked, “What do you hope to accomplish today?” Trump once again yelled back to the press, “A lot, a lot. Great things. Thank you very much!”
Before heading inside with Trump, Albanese added to the press, “We’re going to get a lot done.”
Faulkner then added, “Alright, the president loves Australia. We have a gret relationship and what do we hope to acciomplish that report asked, ‘a lot, a lot. Great things.’ The president of the united states as they enter now.”
The host added to her viewers, “In a few minites they’ll go into the Oval Office and we’ll see them live for news reporters. That is always interesting with this particular president. You never know what you’re going to get except for one hundred persent access to him and his guests.”

Faulkner then cut back to her earlier discussion with Caldwell about the mayoral race.
Later in the episode, Fox cut a commercial short to show viewers live coverage of Trump and Albanese speaking to reporters.
However, there was a glitch with cameras as they set up.
Trump seemed upset by the hold-up and said, “Did you want to move your camera over here or are we going to have – who are you shooting for?” as the camera glitched more.
Faulkner then mentioned the shift going on and said that she and the network were caught off guard by Trump and Albanese’s move from the Oval Office to the dinning room in the White House.
“I think they’re still getting into place here, so, we’re going to watch as that happens and go back,” Faulkner said.
However, when the host tried to introduce two guests, she was cut off again as Trump began to speak.
Trump said Albanese has done a “fantastic” job as prime minister. “We’re hear to talk about trading, submarines, lots of other military equipment.”
Then, Trump looked up at a cameraman and said, “Oh you got to watch that. Watch that. You’re not allowed to break that. That mirror is 400 years old. A camera just hit the mirror.”
He added, “I just moved it up here special from the vaults and the first thing that happens, a camera hits it.”
Trump then turned to Albanese and said, “Hard to believe isn’t it? Hard to believe. But theses are the problems in life.”
