Fox News' Bret Baier is responding to President Trump's claims that the network is in decline, inviting the president to join him for an interview.

The 49-year-old "Special Report" host was responding to a recent clip of Trump telling reporters that "Fox is a lot different than it used to be," and that "my worst polls have always been from Fox," as he declared that "there's something going on at Fox, I'll tell you right now, and I'm not happy about it."

On his show Monday, Baier countered the president's statements.

"Well, Fox has not changed, we have a news side and an opinion side," Baier responded, before explaining more about the polls that raised Trump's temper.

"Our latest poll had the Democratic candidates head-to-head, several of them ahead of President Trump. And this poll tracks exactly (the) Real Clear Politics average of (other) polls," he said. "This poll matches what we're seeing out there."

Baier issued a call for Trump to come on his show to hash it out.

"Mr. President, we've invited you on 'Special Report' many times. We'd love to have you back on. You’ve talked to George Stephanopoulos and Chuck Todd. Come on back. Me, Chris Wallace, the news side cover it fair, balanced and unafraid.”

The president's latest criticism of Fox, which has continued throughout the summer, was inspired by one particular poll that showed Trump's approval rating falling to 43% from 46% in July.

Additional respondents said Trump is “tearing the country apart” than did in previous years; 59% said he is divisive while 31% said he is “drawing the country together.”
