(WND)—In the wake of the mysterious disappearance of Maria Bartiromo off Fox News airwaves, Peter Navarro, the White House senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, is exposing the network and its CEO Suzanne Scott as anything but friendly toward President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda.
Appearing with Greg Kelly on Newsmax Tuesday night, Navarro said: “The bigger story here, Greg, is forget about anybody thinking that Fox is a conservative network that’s friendly to MAGA, that’s friendly to Trump.
“Suzanne Scott is the enforcer. They’ll feed you some red meat over there. You know, the easy stuff, you know, the trans stuff, stuff like that. But when it comes down to MAGA things, Suzanne Scott gets rid of everybody over there who wants to talk about MAGA issues.”
“You fire people like Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs, now Maria Bartiromo. That throws fear into all these other anchors and keep them in line. It’s like, don’t talk about kind of Trump stuff.”
“What the producers are told by Suzanne Scott, who’s the CEO at Fox, is, when you craft your segments … you don’t do these MAGA issues. You don’t do pro-Trump stuff.”
As WorldNetDaily reported, Dylan Byers at Puck News explained Bartiromo’s ouster centered on her planned coverage of Trump’s July 16 address focusing on election integrity and his doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential race.
“As it turned out, Bartiromo had been planning to cover Trump’s speech on her show, according to sources familiar with her plans,” Byers wrote. “She had also planned to book Peter Navarro, a senior counselor to Trump who has aggressively pushed the voter fraud narrative, to talk about the president’s remarks and the administration’s broader concerns over election integrity.
“In an interview on Friday, Navarro told me that when Bartiromo received [Fox Business Senior Vice President of Programming Ralph] Giordano’s guidance, she took a screenshot and forwarded it to him to tell him that management was not letting her cover the speech—or, in his words, ‘censoring’ it. Navarro subsequently passed that information ‘up the chain,’ he said, informing senior administration officials of the guidance. One high-ranking White House official, whom Navarro declined to identify, reached out to Fox News leadership to express their frustration with the decision. …
“Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace were angered by Bartiromo’s decision to share internal guidance with the administration. Nevertheless, Bartiromo continued to host her various shows for several weeks, up until her Fox Business broadcast on August 7, and her Fox News broadcast on August 9. Shortly thereafter, according to sources with knowledge of the timeline, Bartiromo was informed that the company would end her shows and she would not return to air, even for a signoff. Officially, Bartiromo remains under contract and is entitled to payment until 2028.”
In a Washington Times column, Navarro disclosed the actual text message stated: “Hi – We don’t want to promote it or push to the speech at all. We dont want to do 2020 election segments at all Thurs or Friday.”
“This is like unbelievable,” Navarro told Kelly. “You got a primetime address by the president of the United States. Those are very rare. And it’s about the Chinese Communist Party basically hacking into more than 200 million voter files and doing other things to interfere in our election. … And Suzanne Scott over at the mothership at Fox didn’t want to have anything to do with that.”
When asked with whom he shared Bartiromo’s text, Navarro refused to specify.
“I’m not going to get into the details. Remember, I went to prison, Greg, for not violating executive privilege. But suffice it to say that Suzanne Scott got a call and basically the White House let her know that that kind of thing is totally unacceptable. She didn’t accept that at all. She just went out and fired Maria Bartiromo. And that place is out of control.”
Bartiromo’s attorney Bryan Freedman denied the journalist was fired, saying on Friday: “The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false.
“Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise. Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth.”
“Fox is RINO,” stressed Navarro. “When your brand is fair and balanced and you’re supposed to report prime-time news, the president in the Oval for a national address, you bet your a** it’s censorship and it’s retaliation on Maria Bartiromo. Full stop.”
Navarro said he has spoken to Bartiromo since her removal from the air.
“She’s fine. She’s not happy,” he indicated. “She’s not being treated fairly and nobody at Fox is sticking up for her.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
