Fox News' Peter Doocy reveals history of questioning Biden's mental fitness
Fox News' Peter Doocy has some unique insight on former President Joe Biden as questions continue to persist about whether there was a coverup to hide his declining mental state while serving as commander-in-chief. Doocy, a senior White House correspondent, posted multiple videos to X on Wednesday showing him questioning Biden and the White House about the then-president's cognitive decline. "I have some unique insight on President Biden, having dedicated six years of my life to covering him," he wrote. "If you are wondering why nobody asked about his mental fitness, and why nobody asked if White House staffers were covering up his decline… then you weren't paying attention." Washington Post Urges Congress To Act To Prevent Another Cover-up Of President's Health Amid Biden Revelations In one video, Doocy is seen questioning Biden about Special Counsel Robert Hur's report that concluded that one of the reasons Biden wasn't charged for his handling of classified Obama-era documents found in his former office and at home was because he was a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." "I'm well-meaning and I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing. I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation," Biden replied. Read On The Fox News App Doocy then asked how bad Biden's memory was and would he be able to continue to serve as president. "My memory is so bad, I let you speak," Biden shot back. Much of the media has been criticized for its reluctance to question Biden or the White House about his health concerns. The former president's health is once again in the headlines after CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios correspondent Alex Thompson's new book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," was released on Tuesday. The book alleges that Biden's inner circle concealed his cognitive decline for years and was released just days after news broke that Biden had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. In one instance, during a news briefing, Doocy questioned then-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about a campaign event in which Biden was present. "At a fundraiser this week, President Biden told donors about how Charlottesville inspired his campaign, and according to the pool, a few mins later he told the story again nearly word for word. What's up with that?" Cbs News Reporter Says Wsj's 'Courageous' 2024 Report On Biden's Decline Should Have Won The Pulitzer "What I can tell you is, and I'm going to be careful not to talk about it because this was a campaign event,… the president was making very clear why he decided to run in 2019," Jean-Pierre responded. In another briefing, Jean-Pierre said Biden was making a "light-hearted joke" and "speaking off the cuff" when she was asked by Doocy about Biden's remarks that his "health is fine. It's just his brain." In another video, Jean-Pierre was asked about Biden's gaffe when he appeared to mix up French President Emmanuel Macron with François Mitterrand, the former president of France who died in 1996. "How is President Biden ever going to convince the three-quarters of voters who are worried about his physical and mental health that he's OK even though in Las Vegas he told a story about recently talking to a French president who died in 1996?" Wall Street Journal Calls Out Tapper For Sneering At Paper's Story About Biden's Decline "I'm not even going to go down that rabbit hole with you," she replied. Doocy also asked if Biden had been tested for Parkinson's Disease or dementia following his disastrous debate performance against then-candidate Donald Trump. "What we shared with you was comprehensive, but he's had a full physical. We've shown the results of those this past three years," Jean-Pierre said. "We showed it just four months ago, and it is in line with what we have done, similar to President Obama, similar to George W. Bush. We are committed to continue to be transparent. We are committed to continue to show the results of those physicals, and look, it's the president's medical team that makes a decision." In another briefing, Jean-Pierre was questioned about why Biden was treated by White House staffers "like a baby." "No one treated the president of the United States, the commander-in-chief, like a baby," she replied. "That's a ridiculous claim."

Where is 'Fox & Friends' Co-Host Steve Doocy?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Steve Doocy, a founding co-host of Fox News' Fox & Friends, announced on May 1 that he is stepping back from his full-time role on the show. After nearly three decades of early morning broadcasts from the New York City studio, Doocy will now co-host three days a week from Florida, allowing him more time with his family and the opportunity to report from various locations across the country. He emphasized that he is not retiring but transitioning to a new phase in his career. Steve Doocy at the Fox Nation's Patriot Awards on November 16, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee. Steve Doocy at the Fox Nation's Patriot Awards on November 16, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee. AP/George Walker IV What Happened to Steve Doocy? In an emotional on-air announcement, Doocy shared that he would no longer be hosting Fox & Friends from the New York studio. He explained that after decades of waking up at 3:30 a.m. for early broadcasts, he sought a lifestyle change. "It is a great job, but the hours suck," he laughed on-air in the lead-up to the announcement. "Ainsley [Earhardt] and I have talked about this for years, about how hard it is to dash back from wherever we are on the weekends to be live, on this couch, at 6 A.M. on Monday. But we have to because the Curvy Couch is an important part of the show." Doocy will now be based in Florida, hosting the show remotely three days a week and reporting from various locations across the country. This move allows him more time for family and the opportunity to cover stories from regions that often receive limited media coverage. "Florida is strategic. It's going to make it easier for me to report from Florida and other parts of America that don't get a lot of network airtime," he explained. "I'll be going from the Carolinas to the Keys. From Middle America to Mar-a-Lago. So, call me the coast-to-coast host." Doocy also said he was taking some time away before his transition to visit with his family, which explains his temporary absence from the show. "I'll be back in ten days when it's time to make the donuts," he said on May 1, referencing a Dunkin' Donuts commercial from the 1980's. It suggests Doocy will likely return to his new position sometime next week. Did Steve Doocy Retire from 'Fox & Friends'? Despite stepping back from daily hosting duties, Doocy made it clear that he is not retiring. He will continue to contribute to the show as a co-host, providing commentary and reporting from different parts of the U.S. "You've trusted me for all these years, and don't worry, you will still hear my voice and my opinions, loud and clear," he said on-air. Doocy expressed excitement about this new chapter, stating that the change allows him to have breakfast with his grandchildren and children whenever he can. In a press release, FOX's Executive Vice President of Morning Programming & Program Development Megan Albano said: "For nearly 30 years, Steve has been a force on the curvy couch with his signature smile and wit. His relationship with our audience is unmatched and we are looking forward to him taking his trademark style from the couch to cities across America's heartland where he will co-host from diners to pickleball courts and more and finally not have to drive across the George Washington Bridge at 3:30am every morning." What Did Donald Trump Say About Doocy? Former President Donald Trump, a frequent viewer of Fox & Friends, shared a special message congratulating Doocy on his transition. In a prerecorded video, Trump thanked Doocy for his "fair" coverage over the years and wished him well in his new role. "It's really been an honor to have spent so much time with you and watching you and the whole group in the morning," Trump said in a pre-recorded clip. Trump also positively referenced his son, Peter Doocy, who was promoted to Senior White House Correspondent with Fox News in 2024. Who is Steve Doocy? Steve Doocy joined Fox News Channel in 1996 and was named co-host of Fox & Friends in 1998 when the show launched. Doocy is the longest running co-host in network morning television other than Al Roker who is part of the TODAY show ensemble. Fox & Friends has averaged 1.5 million viewers in 2025 to date, per a press release. Over the years, he has been a familiar face for viewers, engaging in political discussions and interviewing major figures like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Doocy has earned multiple awards for his reporting and writing, including 11 Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In his new role, Doocy will continue to be an integral part of Fox & Friends, bringing stories to viewers while enjoying a more flexible schedule that allows for more family time.

Fox News' Peter Doocy Faces Another Avian Ambush At The White House
Fox News host Peter Doocy has been attacked by birds — for the second time in a month. The senior correspondent was reporting live Monday from the White House for the morning show 'America's Newsroom' and discussing President Donald Trump's order to reopen Alcatraz, San Francisco Bay's former federal prison, when a feathered friend derailed him. 'Are you dodging birds again?' Fox News colleague Dana Perino asked Doocy, who was visibly ducking for cover during the segment. He confirmed: 'There is a bird! Yes, I am! I don't know, I need to, like, shave my head. What's going on?' 'It's because you're so tall, and so cute,' Perino replied. While he went on to joke that somebody should 'send the birds to Alcatraz,' social media users noted Doocy was standing in the same area of the White House grounds where a bird landed on him last month — and suggested the anchor move elsewhere. 'A smart person would figure out he's standing too close to the nest. Mama birds are very protective,' one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter, with another user commenting: 'Going to continue until nesting season is over. He needs to move farther from the trees.' Both broadcasts with feathered animals concerned contentious Trump policies. The bird tried to sit on Doocy's head last month while he was reporting on Trump's controversial trade war with China and increased tariffs, which have led economists to fear a recession, or worse. The pundit was reporting live for 'Fox & Friends' from the White House grounds when he suddenly began flailing. 'A bird just landed on my head!' Doocy exclaimed at the time. 'I did not like that at all.' Trump's announcement Sunday that he wants to reopen Alcatraz has sparked confusion. Alcatraz was famously closed in the 1960s as it was far more costly to operate than other facilities. The president said he wishes to use the island prison for America's most violent offenders, however, and that he's already directed federal agencies to do so. 'Alcatraz closed as a federal penitentiary more than sixty years ago,' Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) wrote Sunday night on X. 'It is now a very popular national park and major tourist attraction. The President's proposal is not a serious one.' Whether it will reopen remains to be seen, as does whether Doocy will face a third bird attack. Related...
