stier wall who has appeared many times on this program and was fired from his job after fox s political editor after he called the state of arizona early on for election night has announced that the january 6th committee has called him to testify and that he will do so at the committee s next public hearing on monday. another former fox employee, the legendary carl cameron joins me now, campaign carl as we know him all too well. carl, you were there with fox for more than two decades before leaving your role as the chief political correspondent in 2017. you also worked with chris stirewalt. we all know he s a pro at all of this. chris has said he s not going to get into what he s going to be saying in his testimony, but what do you think he s going to talk about? i suppose he s going to be getting into what happened with that arizona call. one would think. i also suspect that he ll take the time to point out that fox s calls in presidential and in
