A Fox Business reporter said he was “definitely having an out-of-body experience” after climbing a nearly 2,000-foot broadcast tower with FCC Chair Brendan Carr on Thursday, reports Tom Durante of Mediaite

Durante reports, “Fox Business reporter Darren Botelho climbed the North Carolina tower with Carr in an exclusive report broadcast on Fox News on Thursday.
