Steve Scalise is scheduled to appear on a live segment of “Fox & Friends” as the program broadcasts Steve Doocy’s “Morning Walk” from the French Quarter in New Orleans. The segment is set to air at 6:40 a.m. on Fox News and will feature House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Republican from Metairie, joining Doocy during the morning broadcast.
A Fox News release said Scalise will discuss the state of Iran, energy prices, and his planned trip later in the day to an offshore energy rig in the Gulf of America. The appearance adds a political and energy-policy focus to a segment that usually blends news, personality-driven conversation, and location-based reporting.
What the segment will cover
Scalise’s interview is expected to touch on several issues that have remained central in Washington and across energy-producing states.
- The current situation involving Iran and its broader geopolitical implications.
- Energy prices and their effect on consumers and businesses.
- A field visit to an offshore energy rig later in the day.
The New Orleans backdrop also gives the segment a regional angle, since Louisiana remains closely tied to offshore energy, coastal industry, and federal policy decisions affecting the Gulf.
About the “Morning Walk” format
Steve Doocy’s “Morning Walk” has become a recurring feature on “Fox & Friends,” bringing the co-host out of the studio and into public settings. Past guests have included James Patterson, Rob Gronkowski, Vanilla Ice, Chris Pratt, Tim Tebow, Dave Portnoy, and Greg Norman, reflecting the segment’s mix of politics, entertainment, sports, and popular culture.
The show airs weekdays from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., and the live New Orleans segment continues that format by pairing a local setting with a conversation rooted in current national issues. Scalise’s appearance is likely to draw attention from viewers following both his political role and ongoing debates over energy production and foreign policy.
