Big Brother Surveilled Bret Baier

Bret Baier is Furious about a $40 Ticket in Beijing and How He Got it Should Terrify Every American

The Chinese Communist Party has built the most suffocating surveillance state in human history.

Now a Fox News crew just experienced it firsthand – and the system caught them before they could even turn off the engine.

Standing outside Haidian Station on Wednesday, Baier pointed to the skyline and counted – at minimum – twenty cameras on a single street corner. Beijing has added 1,500 new cameras just this year alone.

"They see everything," Baier told viewers of Special Report. "There's nobody jaywalking here because they could get a ticket right away."

Then came the moment that made the clip go viral: Baier's own driver parked illegally for two minutes and had a $40 fine on his phone before the crew could even set up a shot.

No officer. No confrontation. No warning.

A December 2025 report from the Austrian Strategic Policy Institute estimated approximately 600 million surveillance cameras operating across China – one of the densest surveillance networks on earth.

The infrastructure runs on a platform called Skynet, which integrates AI facial recognition, real-time traffic enforcement, and a national data-sharing system that feeds law enforcement agencies around the clock. Jaywalkers are photographed and fined automatically.

Pritzker Defends murder rate

FOX Anchor Confronts Illinois Governor Over Murder Statistic He Denied

Pritzker is a Democrat, so can anyone expect less?

Fox News anchor Bret Baier pressed Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker on Wednesday over Chicago’s murder rate, challenging the governor’s claim that the city is not among the most dangerous in the country.

During the exclusive Fox News interview, Baier presented data showing Chicago at the top of the list of America’s most populous cities when ranked by murder rate. He asked, “Why does Chicago have the highest murder rate of all the big cities?”

Pritzker immediately disagreed, responding that “we are not in the top 30, in terms of our murder rate,” and went on to say that violent crime has dropped statewide over the past four years.

Baier then held up a graphic and pushed back. He said Chicago is “number one over Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego,” directly contradicting the governor’s statement. Pritzker insisted Chicago’s murder rate has been reduced significantly, saying it “has been cut in half over the last four years, and every year, it’s gone down by double digits.”

The exchange grew tense as Baier clarified, “No, no, no, these are murders,” making it clear he was referring specifically to homicide data, not broader violent crime metrics. Pritzker tried to shift the focus, responding, “I’m explaining to you, our murder rate has been cut in half and –– very importantly Bret –– you gotta hear this: very importantly, we’ve been doing the things that are necessary to bring crime down.”

According to Wirepoints, an Illinois-based research group, Chicago recorded 573 murders in 2024 — the highest total of any major U.S. city that year.

Bret Baier's interview with J.B. Pritzker

Bret Baier Drops Truth Bomb on Chicago’s Murder Crisis, Humiliates Lying Mayor

In a stunning and revealing moment on live television, the facade of the liberal media and its preferred politicians was brutally dismantled.

Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, a prominent Democratic figure, thought he could step onto the FOX News set and disseminate his usual, fact-free talking points regarding the catastrophic crime wave his policies have helped foster in Chicago.

He was in for a severe and immediate reality check from a prepared and principled journalist, Brett Baier, who served the truth to the governor without apology. This was not the safe space of a CNN or MSNBC panel; this was a forum where accountability still exists.

Pritzker, attempting to deflect from his city’s abysmal record, embarked on a classic bloviating monologue completely untethered from the facts on the ground. He arrogantly presumed that the American people would simply accept his hollow reassurances.

The governor, with the typical condescension of the leftist elite, attempted to paint a picture of progress and safety that anyone with a newspaper subscription knows is a complete and utter fiction. He brazenly attempted to mislead the public, a tactic that has become the hallmark of the Democratic Party under the weak leadership of figures like Joe Biden.

Bret Baier Interviews Iranian Foreign Minister

Iran: Nuclear Sites ‘Seriously Damaged’ — Uranium Enrichment Completely Stopped

In a revealing Fox News interview Monday night, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that U.S. airstrikes last month severely damaged Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, forcing the regime to halt its uranium enrichment activities—at least temporarily.

“Our facilities have been damaged, seriously damaged,” Araghchi told host Bret Baier during Special Report.

Araghchi said Iran’s “automechanical organization” is still assessing whether any previously enriched material survived, further confirming Pentagon assessments that the strikes have set Iran’s nuclear program back by at least two years.

Pressed by Baier on the current status of uranium enrichment, Araghchi conceded:

“It is stopped because… damages are serious and severe. But obviously, we cannot give up enrichment—it is a question of national pride.”

President Trump has not responded directly to the interview, but has repeatedly said any future agreement with Iran must include:

• A permanent end to uranium enrichment.
• Full access for U.S. and allied inspectors.
• Iran’s abandonment of regional terror networks.

Baier Denies Charges He Colluded With DOJ Against Trump

Bret Baier's interview was hard hitting and I thought disrespectful

He continued to interrupt the President. Baire has always been a little iffy in my opinion and now that Fox is going woke left and dismissing Trump, anything is possible

Under criticism for allegations that he communicated with the Department of Justice (DOJ) before interviewing former President Donald Trump, Fox News anchor Bret Baier is denying that there was any collusion.

The highly-publicized face-to-face interview between Baire and the former president drew millions of viewers to the troubled network, but it also drew condemnation.

Baier responded to criticism that he did the work of the Department of Justice for them. One accusation asked if the host had contact with the DOJ to attempt to trap Trump into incriminating himself.

highlighted his penchant for hiring the “best and most serious people,” and the fact that those same people can now be competing against him, reveals the fluidity of politics.
