Bret Baier and the crew of Special Report on Fox News were forced to scramble for shelter as a hailstorm warning interrupted Friday\u2019s live outdoor broadcast from Mount Rushmore.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump is scheduled to give a speech at the iconic landmark, which features the likenesses of former Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Trump has suggested<\/a> he should be added to the pantheon of presidents.<\/p>\n Baier interviewed Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) and asked about Republicans\u2019 poor poll numbers ahead of November\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n \u201cYou look at polls<\/a>, it\u2019s kind of upside-down in some places,\u201d Baier said. \u201cThe economy is a real concern. Inflation\u2019s a real concern. How do you address that with your constituents here?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think first of all, we talk about the fact that we\u2019ve done specifically what we were supposed to do in terms of reducing the tax burden on the vast majority of Americans, for seniors, people who work on tips, for families with kids,\u201d Rounds replied. \u201cIn all of those cases, we reduced their tax burden. That\u2019s real money back in their pockets.\u201d<\/p>\n The senator said the GOP needs to bring energy costs down, and added, \u201cGet the housing market moving once again, and the House and Senate have put together the first major change in housing regulations<\/a> in a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve got some breaking news here,\u201d Baier announced. \u201cThey just said there\u2019s severe weather on the way. In fact, they said hail could be coming, and they\u2019re urging everybody to get inside. We\u2019re gonna stay here for just a second here. Senator Rounds, thank you so much. We\u2019re gonna get to shelter, and thank you for being here, and Happy Fourth.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWelcome to South Dakota,\u201d Rounds dryly replied, eliciting a chuckle from Baier.<\/p>\n The program went to commercial, and upon returning, Baier seemed to be reporting from a tent.<\/p>\n The weather was not just an issue in South Dakota on Friday, as much of the eastern U.S. was experiencing a wicked heat wave. The Great American State Fair, honoring the 250th anniversary of the founding, was temporarily shuttered as temperatures topped 100 degrees<\/a> in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n Watch above via Fox News.<\/p>\n The post Hailstorm Warning Interrupts Fox\u2019s Bret Baier: \u2018We\u2019ve Got Some Breaking News\u2026 We\u2019re Gonna Get To Shelter\u2019<\/a> first appeared on Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bret Baier and the crew of Special Report on Fox News were forced to scramble for shelter as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":741862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,165232,11320,28964,451,170164,9285,57989,3,942,139549,67978,452,453],"class_list":["post-741861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-bret-baier","tag-fox-news","tag-george-washington","tag-headlines","tag-midterm-elections","tag-mike-rounds","tag-mount-rushmore","tag-news","tag-president-donald-trump","tag-theodore-roosevelt","tag-thomas-jefferson","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/741862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
