Throughout his tenure at FNC, Williams has provided analysis of significant political events. His recent work included coverage during FNC's Midterm Elections, and he played a pivotal role in FNC’s Democracy 2020 election coverage, which was the most-watched election night in cable news history with 14.1 million total viewers. Williams also provided insightful commentary during the 2020 presidential and vice-presidential debates, as well as the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Previously, he served as a co-host on FNC’s "The Five," engaging in discussions and debates on current news stories and issues.

Before his time at Fox News, Williams had a distinguished career in print and radio journalism. He spent 23 years at The Washington Post, covering every major political campaign from 1980 to 2000 as a national correspondent and political columnist. Williams also served over ten years with NPR, where he hosted "Talk of the Nation" and significantly enhanced the show's ratings. Additionally, he has interviewed numerous influential figures and former U.S. Presidents, providing him with unique insights into the U.S. political climate.

Williams is not only recognized for his analytical skills but also as an accomplished author. He has written several New York Times bestsellers, including "Eyes on the Prize," "Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary," and "What the Hell Do You Have to Lose?: Trump’s War on Civil Rights." His book "Eyes on the Prize" is considered a definitive history of the civil rights era and is essential reading in schools. Williams has received numerous accolades for his work, including an Emmy Award for television documentary writing and the Best Washington Weekly column award from the Society of Professional Journalists’ Washington chapter for his work with The Hill.

Juan Williams Speaking Topics

  • Changing Votes: The Evolving Face of US Politics

  • Muzzled: The Assault on Honest Debate in America

  • How the Internet Is Changing News & Politics

    In this fascinating and timely talk from journalist Juan Williams, he shares how the rise of the Internet • particularly social media • is changing the way news and information is disseminated and consumed, and the way political campaigns play out. He shares his insights into political strategy in the digital age; the need to protect privacy, free speech, and the first amendment online; Internet policymaking on Capitol Hill; and the changing media environment, which was a central theme in his latest book, Muzzled.

  • American Leadership: Stories of Inspiration & Power Behind Proven Leaders

    Using stories of historical leaders like Martin Luther King and Thurgood Marshall, and weaving in personal encounters with important contemporary decision-makers whom he has interviewed during his career, Williams explores American leadership in this keynote address.

    In this inspirational talk he will also look at the leaders that shaped the historical Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka Kansas Case. Drawing on his extensive experience as a journalist and social commentator, Williams also explores the topic of the changing face of leadership in America. As campus populations become more diverse • racially, culturally and economically • the face of leadership changes. What are some of the issues that these changing demographics will create? How will this impact the work of career development and college recruitment professionals?

  • The Fierce Face of Moderation: Battering Ram & Gridlock Buster

    Moderates have long been castigated as "softies" with little will power of their own. But as Republicans and Democrats in Washington further dig their heels on opposite sides of every major political issue, we must realize that extremism prevents us from moving forward as a nation and as a global economy.

    Speaker Juan Williams proves that problem solvers and negotiators • "moderates" • are, in fact, radicals whose beliefs align with those of the majority of Americans. In this presentation, he discusses such major national issues as healthcare, education, government debt, and social problems and provides solutions to these based in compromise. He also identifies the key national issues that will impact your specific organization and provides solutions to navigating those changes.

    Williams embraces our nation's legacy of compromise • one that has allowed us to achieve some of our greatest accomplishments • and urges us to champion moderation as a way to move forward into new and exciting territory.

  • Health Care Exchanges

    Although some in the healthcare industry are in support of Obamacare, many are still in need of understanding what factors, such as the flow of new benefits, the Medicare and Medicaid debt and discontent with the status quo, are influencing the various attitudes towards the health care exchanges. Williams explains that as long as we have the health care exchange programs, government will always have a hand in our medical care. Currently millions have gained improved policies that cover preventative care and preexisting medical conditions, but many policy makers are still in disagreement as to if this will be a realistic plan on fixing the nation’s costly health care system. With a view from Washington, Williams will share a behind the scene perspective as Obamacare continues to move forward.
