Prince Harry says ‘most important thing is to reconcile’ with royal family

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 20:57:57 -0400

Prince Harry is ready to put the past behind him as he makes a renewed plea for reconciliation with the royal family.

During a video interview with GQ that was conducted by the magazine's host Zach Baron in September and released Tuesday, the 42-year-old Duke of Sussex was asked whether he grieved his complicated relationships with his father King Charles III, 77, and his brother Prince William, 44.

"Yes, of course," Harry said. "I think from a family perspective — again, another massively relatable issue for so many people — sibling disagreements, broken relationships between kids and their parents, kids and one parent. That continues to come up with me the whole time with people that I speak to, so I know how relatable it is."

"Some people maybe look at us and go, ‘How are you gonna work it out? Maybe that will help me work my stuff out,'" he continued.

"Some people don't want it to work out," Harry added. "I want it to work out. With everything else that's going on in the world, the most important thing is to reconcile — that's the key point."

Baron went on to ask Harry if he believes the family "wound" can be repaired to which Harry replied, "Scars stick around forever."

"But what your perception is, and what your mindset is to those things that have happened, letting go of the past," he said. "That's something that I would encourage everybody to do: If there's certain things from the past that are still affecting you every day, that's harder to let go of."

"But, for me, there's enough drama in the world and enough drama in people's lives to continue with issues with family," Harry added.

Following the interview's release, Harry's comment that "some people don't want it to work out" sparked speculation that he was referring to William. A spokesperson later clarified Harry's remark, telling People magazine that his comment "was absolutely not intended as a swipe at his brother or any other member of his family."

"The comment was made in a general context and was not directed at his family in any way," Harry's representative added.

Harry's relationship with his family has been strained for years. Rumors of a rift between the brothers began to swirl in 2018 after Harry married former "Suits" star Meghan Markle. Harry publicly acknowledged problems in his relationship with William in October 2019, telling ITV that although they would "always be brothers," they were on "different paths" and don't see each other as often as they did in the past.

Tensions escalated further after Harry and Markle stepped back as senior working royals in January 2020 and relocated to Canada before settling in California. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex later aired grievances against the royal family in their bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. During the television special, Harry and Markle alleged a lack of support from the institution and accused an unnamed royal family member of racism.

Harry also opened up about his strained relationships with Charles and William, though he shared his hopes that those could be repaired. He admitted that he felt "really let down" by Charles and revealed that his father had stopped taking his calls as the Sussexes prepared to step down from their royal roles.

However, Harry said he would "always love" his father and vowed to "make it one of my priorities to try and heal that relationship."

Harry addressed his rift with William, saying he loved his brother "to bits" but said again that they were on "different paths." At the time, he described their relationship as "space" while expressing hope that "time heals all things."

A year later, the couple's relationship with the royal family deteriorated further with the release of their Netflix series "Harry & Meghan." In the series, Harry accused the royal institution of leaking and planting stories and further detailed the breakdown in his relationship with his family.

The rift deepened following the January 2023 publication of Harry's memoir, "Spare," in which he detailed private disputes with his father and brother and alleged that William physically attacked him during a 2019 argument over Markle. Buckingham Palace declined to respond publicly to Harry's allegations.

However, Harry has continued to express his desire to reconcile with his family. In a January 2023 interview with ITV while promoting "Spare," Harry said, "Forgiveness is 100% a possibility because I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back."

"At the moment, I don't recognize them, as much as they probably don't recognize me," he added.

At the time, Harry said that reconciliation would only be possible under one condition.

"Though I would like to have reconciliation, I would like accountability," he said. "I've managed to make peace over this time with a lot of things that have happened. But that doesn't mean that I'm just gonna let it go."

Harry's latest remarks echo comments he made last year when he publicly called for an end to his long-running feud with the royal family. During an interview with the BBC in May 2025, Harry's rhetoric shifted noticeably after losing his legal challenge over his security in the United Kingdom.

"I would love reconciliation with my family," he said. "There’s no point in continuing to fight any more. Life is precious."

"I don’t know how much longer my father has," Harry added.

In February 2024, Charles was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer, and he continues receiving ongoing medical treatment.

At the time, Harry told the outlet that he was not in touch with Charles, claiming, "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff."

The Duke of Sussex also indicated that he had forgiven his family for many of their past disagreements. Harry said there were "things that have happened that I can now forgive" and that he had "moved past that."

Harry specifically said he could forgive the involvement of his father, brother and stepmother, Queen Camilla, though he maintained that he was still struggling to forgive the decision over his security arrangements in the U.K. He also acknowledged that some members of the royal family might "never forgive" him for writing "Spare," or for "lots of things."

In August, Harry and Markle along with their children, son Prince Archie, 7, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 5, returned to the U.K. for an extended stay. The Sussexes’ desire to reconnect with Charles and other members of the royal family has been reported as one of the reasons behind their move.

There appears to have been a significant improvement in the relationship between Harry and his father. In September 2025, the two met privately, marking their first face-to-face meeting in more than a year. In July 2026, Harry, Markle, Archie and Lilibet traveled to the U.K where they reunited with Charles and Camilla at Highgrove House. It was the king's first meeting with his daughter-in-law and grandchildren in roughly four years. Harry and Charles have also reportedly remained in communication since the Sussexes' return to the U.K.

However, Harry and William reportedly remain estranged, with no direct contact between the brothers despite the Duke of Sussex's calls for reconciliation. William has largely remained silent about the brothers' estrangement and has not publicly expressed a desire to repair their relationship.

Honduran illegal immigrant charged with assaulting ICE officers with hammer during New Jersey traffic stop

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 20:56:23 -0400

A Honduran national who federal authorities say was unlawfully present in the United States allegedly climbed onto his truck and repeatedly swung a hammer at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers during a traffic stop in New Jersey this month, federal prosecutors said.

Reinieri De Jesus Licona Amador, 27, was charged with assaulting federal officers and appeared Monday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Pascal in Camden federal court, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey.

"Federal officers put themselves in harm’s way to enforce the law and protect the public," U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer said in a statement.

"When an individual responds to a traffic stop by attacking an officer with a hammer, that conduct threatens not only the officer’s safety but the rule of law itself," he continued. "We will not allow violent attacks on federal officers to go unanswered and will hold those responsible accountable under the law."

Federal prosecutors said the incident began during a targeted ICE operation in Gibbsboro, when officers ran a license plate check on a truck traveling through the area.

According to the criminal complaint, the vehicle was registered to Licona Amador, and a search of immigration records indicated he lacked lawful status in the United States.

Officers then activated their emergency lights and pulled over Licona Amador's truck, prosecutors said.

According to the complaint, as officers approached the truck, they saw Licona Amador reach into a tool container in the back seat and pick up a hammer.

Prosecutors said officers ordered Licona Amador to stop moving, but he refused to comply, prompting them to open the vehicle door and attempt to remove him from the truck.

He allegedly pulled away from the officers and moved to the passenger side of the truck, where they again tried unsuccessfully to restrain him.

Licona Amador then climbed out of the passenger side of the truck while holding the hammer, ignoring officers' repeated commands, according to the complaint.

He allegedly climbed onto the passenger-side door and repeatedly swung the hammer at officers, prosecutors said.

Officers then deployed oleoresin capsicum (OC) spray, commonly known as pepper spray, and wrestled Licona Amador to the ground, prosecutors said.

He was arrested without injury and faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of assaulting federal officers with a deadly or dangerous weapon.

Americans who moved to Europe after Trump win now say they regret leaving

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 20:30:40 -0400

Liberal Americans who fled to Europe after President Donald Trump's re-election shared how the grass is not always greener on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Wired Magazine released an article Thursday headlined "They Fled Trump’s America. Now They Regret It," speaking directly to those who sought "political refuge in the wake of Trump’s second term," but have since voiced frustration with Europe’s lower quality of life, the rise of right-wing politics in those countries, and a newfound appreciation for the cultural norms and niceties of American life.

One account, from a woman nicknamed "Annie," said she was sold the idea of an idyllic U.K. life on social media, "But the reality of life in the U.K. was dramatically different to what she’d imagined."

"There are huge misconceptions about access to quality healthcare, standard of living… the quality of life is significantly lower than in the U.S.," she told the magazine, citing challenges ranging from their healthcare system to a significantly lower disposable income. "Things in the U.K. that are considered luxury items are very common" in America, like a dishwasher and dryer, she told Wired.

Annie told the outlet that despite believing she'd have free healthcare under the NHS, she now pays "huge amounts of taxes and an immigration surcharge" to access the national healthcare services.

"So no, the health care is not free here," she said.

Annie was also surprised by the amount of anti-American hostility she experienced and cultural differences in the workplace.

"I found it particularly surprising how people feel so comfortable mocking my accent and culture, even in a workplace environment," she said. "The U.K. is very much a place of ‘it is what it is,’ but as Americans we are taught to always improve and strive for better things."

"I thought that ‘British politeness’ existed as it does in movies," Annie added, "but unfortunately, the reality is that present-day British culture is very individualistic, as well as without the sense of charity and helpfulness that many parts of American culture value."

WORLD CUP SOCCER FANS ARE DISCOVERING AMERICA’S GREATNESS. IT’S TIME AMERICANS DID, TOO

Sarah Wood González, a journalist and consultant, made similar comments about learning to appreciate the American mindset and work culture once she was in a different environment.

"Something I had taken for granted is the American outgoingness and default to action, where the question is ‘how can we collaborate?’" she said. "Generally speaking, I also found that the American work style, for better or for worse, moves much faster and can get to a yes or no in less time."

"Finding work was so hard, and the endless bureaucracy had grown worse since I’d left," Josh, who moved to Germany, told Wired. "I missed the friendlier people, freedom of speech, and ease of daily life" in the United States, he said. He added of German daily life, "If you aren’t born and raised there, and don’t look German, you’ll never be fully accepted."

Josh told the magazine he moved back to the U.S. recently and is much happier. He admitted he may have "overreacted" by fleeing to Europe.

Many Americans who shared their regrets on social media were berated by fellow liberals for wanting to move back to "evil" America, the article also said.

"These posts are usually met with a huge amount of backlash. Commenters are quick to imply that the poster must be right-wing and privileged, in for a nasty shock if they did return home," Wired Magazine summarized. "Ironically, many times, they parrot the right-wing notion that they probably aren’t trying hard enough to assimilate into their new country. When one person recently said they badly missed their community of friends in a 'blue city in a blue state' and were considering moving back, the majority of top comments agreed the user was 'insane.'"

Daniel Di Martino, a Manhattan Institute fellow and economist who was born in Venezuela, spoke to Fox News Digital about how some misguided Americans tend to have unrealistic notions about European life.

"Things aren’t always great in Europe, but Europe is not one thing. Living in Greece, making the average salary of a Greek person, would be considered near poverty level in America. Living in Denmark, like an average Dane, is definitely fine, but they still earn much less than the average American," he said. "Some aspects of quality of life in European countries are definitely better: Lower crime, better food. But on the basic reality of how much someone earns, Americans would be worse off moving to Europe."

He concluded, "The reason for this is simple: It is very hard to fire workers, so getting a job in the first place is difficult. And in most European countries other than Switzerland and the Baltics, taxes are very high for low and middle-income workers to pay for so-called universal healthcare and pensions for a larger elderly population."

Theo Wold, a former White House deputy assistant for domestic policy in Trump’s first term, also spoke about how American liberals fail to understand that the very European socialism they romanticize would undo the qualities that make America great.

"American liberals want to import European socialist ideas and wave after wave of third world immigrants into the U.S., but it turns out that in real life, socialism and mass immigration produce countries that are poorer, less productive, and less enjoyable to call home," he said. "American liberals who moved to Europe are experiencing that firsthand. Every American voter who thinks they want single-payer healthcare should have to spend a few months on an NHS waitlist or look for housing in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin: the European malaise is a real wake-up call."

Penguins star teenager Ben Kindel has medical episode during team flight, taken to hospital

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 20:21:51 -0400

The Pittsburgh Penguins turned their plane around after forward Ben Kindel had a "medical episode" during the team's flight.

Kindel, 19, received medical attention on the plane and is in stable condition.

"The Pittsburgh Penguins team plane returned to the Salt Lake City International Airport today shortly after takeoff due to a medical episode involving forward Ben Kindel. Team physician, Dr. Dharmesh Vyas of UPMC, as well as the team’s medical staff were on board and immediately attended to Ben.

Stranger in Biden mask pulls bizarre Texas doorstep stunt as police issue warning

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 20:10:36 -0400

A visitor wearing a Joe Biden mask turned a Texas homeowner’s doorstep into the setting for a bizarre banana snack, prompting a police response and a warning that pranks can lead to dangerous confrontations.

Doorbell camera video shows the unidentified person approaching a Watauga home wearing a mask resembling the former president and what appears to be a "FREEDOM" T-shirt similar to those associated with Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA.

The person runs their fingers over the camera twice, then eats a banana through the mask before walking away.

Watauga police told Fox News Digital that officers responded to a suspicious activity report at approximately 8:05 p.m. Oct. 18. After reviewing the homeowner’s video at the scene, officers found no evidence of a crime.

A search of the surrounding neighborhood turned up no sign of the masked visitor.

The department said it is aware of social media posts describing similar sightings, but no additional reports involving the person have been made directly to police. Officers have not identified any related incidents.

While the doorstep appearance did not result in criminal charges, police cautioned that behavior intended to get a laugh could have serious consequences.

"The department also reminds the public that behavior perceived as threatening can lead to dangerous confrontations, potentially resulting in serious injury," police told Fox News Digital.

Authorities urged residents to call police about concerning behavior instead of confronting individuals themselves.

"We also encourage everyone to exercise good judgment and recognize that behavior intended as a joke or prank can sometimes cause unnecessary concern for others," the department said.

The visitor’s identity and reason for the masked appearance remain unknown. Police said their assessment has not changed.

"Based on the available information, our assessment remains unchanged: officers found no evidence that a criminal offense occurred."

Royce White exploring legal avenues after WNBA tells Congress he is ineligible to play

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 20:09:34 -0400

Former NBA player Royce White says he plans to explore legal avenues against the WNBA after Commissioner Cathy Engelbert told Congress that he and Enes Kanter Freedom are ineligible to play because they are men.

White told OutKick that Engelbert’s response does not resolve his challenge to the league’s eligibility standards, calling on the WNBA to explain how it defines men and women.

"We plan to explore every legal avenue possible to hold the WNBA and NBA community to their stated standards and values," White said.

FORMER NBA PLAYER ROYCE WHITE SAYS HE IS DECLARING FOR NEXT WNBA DRAFT AFTER ENES KANTER ANNOUNCEMENT

Asked whether Engelbert’s letter had officially triggered a previously discussed discrimination lawsuit, White said he could not discuss particulars. He did not announce a filing or provide a timetable for taking legal action.

The dispute centers on White’s and Freedom’s efforts to enter the 2027 WNBA draft after declaring that they identify as women. During the interview, White agreed when asked whether his declaration was "for basketball purposes."

In an Oct. 16 letter responding to Republican lawmakers, Engelbert stated the league’s position directly.

"With respect to your questions regarding eligibility, only women are eligible to play in the WNBA and the individuals you cite in your letter are both men," Engelbert wrote.

The response followed a Sept. 17 inquiry from Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., and four Republican colleagues asking how the WNBA defines "women" under its collective bargaining agreement and why White and Freedom had been deemed ineligible. The lawmakers requested answers by Oct. 16.

The agreement states that "only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA," but does not specify language concerning gender identity or sex assigned at birth, Front Office Sports reported in August.

Engelbert’s response did not supply a definition of "women" or explain the criteria used to classify White and Freedom as men.

White said that distinction remains central to his challenge.

"No, we’re not letting them off that easy," he said when asked whether Engelbert’s statement represented a step in the right direction.

"She has to define, and the WNBA has to define, what a man and a woman is and why."

White also called for NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to address the dispute.

ENES FREEDOM RIPS CHERYL REEVE FOR SAYING WOMEN'S SPORTS ADVOCATES 'DON’T WANT TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TO EXIST'

"I’d like Adam Silver and the NBA to weigh in," he said.

The league had already rejected the two former NBA players’ eligibility through statements attributed to league sources in August.

ROYCE WHITE SHOWS UP TO INDIANA FEVER GAME IN BLONDE WIG AMID WNBA DRAFT PURSUIT

White described himself as a longtime fan of women’s basketball, saying he grew up watching older female relatives play sports and learned from local girls’ basketball players.

"I’m a fan of the WNBA. I think the women have come a long way," White said. "I’d love to see it not as politicized as it is, because I think it takes away from the beauty of the game."

White added that he has been watching the WNBA Finals and is considering attending games, although he declined to identify which ones, citing security concerns.

"I have my eyes on a few games for sure, and I’ve been watching," he said, describing himself as "scoping the competition."

Roseanne Barr challenges Hollywood to give her another shot after controversial 'Roseanne' exit

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 20:09:10 -0400

Eight years after she was fired from her hit reboot of "Roseanne," Roseanne Barr is looking for a second chance.

The 73-year-old has self-financed a new show called "Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable."

Barr told The Hollywood Reporter this week that she's shopping the sitcom to "Anybody who wants a number one show and is smart enough to take a number one show."

"I don’t know why they don’t want a number one show and why they hate a number one show and why they would destroy a number one show," she said of Hollywood. "But if they do want a number one show, I got it."

The "Roseanne" reboot was a huge hit with tens of millions of viewers each week, and it finished its first season as the number one primetime sitcom in the 18-49 demographic, according to Variety.

ROSEANNE BARR CALLS FORMER CO-STAR A 'BRAINWASHED BIGOT' AFTER HE SAID REBOOT WAS 'RIGHTFULLY CANCELED'

She’s also pitched "Meemaw" to Elon Musk but without success.

"I don’t know why he hasn’t called me or returned my calls," she admitted of the trillionaire. "I mean, of all people on earth, I’m the one he should call, but I don’t know."

"Meemaw" is about the matriarch of a mixed-race family in Texas who are preppers, which she describes as "Somebody who’s prepared of the end of the world."

It’s partially based on her life.

"I’m a prepper. I live in Texas. Everybody’s a prepper here," she said.

The show also stars Drea de Matteo, Omar Gooding and Randy Quaid who plays Barr’s love interest.

JOHN GOODMAN ADMITS HE FELT 'FRIGHTENED' AFTER THE SUDDEN FAME HE EXPERIENCED FROM 'ROSEANNE'

"I’m in love with him and I wish he would leave his wife and marry me," she joked. "I enjoyed making out with him so much that I wrote extra scenes where we would make out."

Barr said she hasn’t shown the sitcom to anyone yet.

"But it is so funny," she said. "It’s the funniest s--- I’ve ever done, and I had a ball and I play a really wacky old lady this time."

On her firing from the reboot, Barr insists she didn’t intend her infamous tweet about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett to be racist.

ELI STEELE: THE TERROR OF BEING CALLED RACIST IS CRUSHING FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA

"It was not a racist tweet," she said. "It wasn’t about race, it was about politics. What it really was a three-month conversation between myself and journalists in Iran who were talking about attacks mostly on Iranian women in the streets."

After the tweet, she apologized, and she claimed ABC gave her a choice of signing off on the rights to the show so it could continue as "The Conners" or it would be canceled and everyone would lose their jobs.

"ABC demanded that they would only make [the show] if I were not [in it]. And they called me and said, ‘You have a choice to make: You can sign off on letting us do a show without you [or everyone is out of a job.]’" she claimed.

She continued, "The only thing that mattered to me at the time is I said, ‘I want you to say I’m not a racist and that you know I’m not a racist and that my whole life has been about fighting racism and that you know it.’"

"And [Werner] said, "I will do that once you sign away your rights. And also I promise you, if you sign away your rights for this season, that we’ll make sure that everybody knows you did it to save the jobs of the crew,’" she claimed, via the outlet.

Ryan Day says quarterback Julian Sayin is out 'indefinitely' as Ohio State prepares for season without him

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:58:46 -0400

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day delivered bad news for his Buckeyes football program, as quarterback Julian Sayin will be out "indefinitely" because of a shoulder injury.

Day initially said that Sayin would miss "several weeks" after injury his throwing shoulder following Ohio State’s 19-15 win over Indiana this past weekend.

Several weeks have now turned into an indefinite amount of time away from the Buckeyes, and Day admitted the team is preparing as if Sayin won’t be available for the remainder of the regular season, and even worse, the College Football Playoff.

"First off, we’re not going to put any timeline on his recovery, but he is out indefinitely," he told reporters. "So, what we’re trying to do is give Julian and his family some privacy to go through this process. But based on the nature of the injury, we are putting together a plan for him not being available for the regular season and also him not being available for the postseason.

"Based on that, if he’s not able to return this fall, we’ll put a plan together for that as well. That’s really the update I have right now out of respect to him and his family."

Luke Fahey, the true freshman who took over after Sayin went down in the fourth quarter of last week’s victory, will remain the Buckeyes’ starter moving forward. The injury also comes with Ohio State on a bye this weekend before traveling to No. 16 USC for a Halloween matchup.

"When Luke's in there, we just may need to do things just a little bit differently, but the bye week gives us a chance to regroup on that and put our heads together," Day said on Saturday.

Sayin’s injury came after Hoosiers defender Mario Landino hit his throwing shoulder while sacking him. The hit forced Sayin to fumble, and he went to the locker room to look at his ailment. Sayin later returned to the sideline in a sling.

There has not been a specific injury for Sayin, but one can imply just how serious it could be if Day and his coaching staff are preparing as if he might not be available for the entire rest of the season.

Sayin, who was expected to be among the top NFL Draft prospects, threw for 1,772 yards thus far with 17 touchdowns to only two interceptions this season.

Now, all eyes will be looking at Fahey, a three-star recruit out of California, to see if he can keep the Buckeyes as the No. 3 team in college football, if not better.

"He's got confidence, he's got athletic ability, he's a competitive kid," Day said of Fahey. "I don't think the moment was too big for him."

Ana Navarro clashes with 'The View' co-hosts, declares there's 'no way in hell' she would meet with Trump

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:48:38 -0400

"The View" co-host Ana Navarro said Tuesday there was "no way in hell" that she would meet with President Donald Trump.

During a segment on the ABC daytime talk show, the panel discussed Trump's Thursday night dinner with comedian Bill Maher, sports commentator Stephen A. Smith and musician Kid Rock at the White House. This led to a discussion among the co-hosts about whether they would accept an invitation to dinner with the president.

While co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously worked for Trump, said they would accept an invitation, Navarro responded, "Hell to the no."

"There is no way in hell, no way in hell I would want to break bread or be in the same room with a man whose administration is hunting Latinos," Navarro said.

"It’s not 'Lady and the Tramp.' You’re not going to slurp pasta," Haines replied jokingly.

"No, but, listen, stop, this is not funny!" Navarro responded. "What he’s doing to Latinos is criminal."

She clarified that she had no interest in meeting with Trump because it would make "zero difference" to his administration.

"I know that he has seen the polls of Latinos going against him, that he’s lost 50 points of support with Latinos, and his administration has doubled down on their cruelty," Navarro said. "They are killing Latinos, chasing them, hunting them, racially profiling them, torturing them, sending them to places in far-off Africa. You think I’m going to go share a meal with him?"

Haines pointed out that Navarro has met with and questioned other Republican politicians, including Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., but Navarro suggested that there were other ways to push back against political figures.

"You know who’s going to hold him accountable? The people who are going to vote in the midterm elections," Navarro said.

'THE VIEW' CO-HOST DEMANDS 25TH AMENDMENT BE USED AGAINST TRUMP, SUGGESTS CABINET COULD DO IT AFTER MIDTERMS

Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg agreed with Navarro, saying there was no real reason to sit down with Trump.

"He’s the criminal-in-chief," Hostin said. "I think that he would not listen, and I don’t think this is a normal presidency. I think it’s abhorrent, and I think it’s abnormal. I think what he’s doing to Latinos, I think what he’s doing to African Americans, I think what he’s doing to the LGBTQ+ community, I think the fact that he’s enriching himself, it’s so disgusting and abhorrent. I don't think I would meet with him."

"This is a man who started out racially profiling people," Goldberg said. "It’s not the first time he’s done it. He’s done it for years, and I cannot, in good conscience, try to reason with someone who has decided that I’m barely human."

Fox News Digital reached out to ABC and the White House for comment but did not immediately receive a response from either.

Despite several co-hosts' refusal to meet with Trump, fellow co-host Joy Behar said in a New York Magazine interview published Friday that she would like to see the president appear on the show.

"I’d love Donald Trump to take the heat," Behar said.

Vice President JD Vance appeared on "The View" in June and sparred with the co-hosts on issues including immigration.

In an interview with "Fox & Friends" Friday, Kid Rock praised the dinner with Trump, Maher and Smith, saying the group had a great conversation despite having different political leanings.

"It was epic," he said. "And the thing that was the greatest, there's so many points, I could do an hour on it, is that, you know, two Democrats, two Republicans sit down, break bread, have laughs, talk about, have tough conversations on a lot of the issues."

Supermotocross champion Levi Kitchen wants to try tournament bass fishing when he hangs up his helmet

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:43:09 -0400

Levi Kitchen just won the 2026 Monster Energy SMX 250 Class World Championship. But the 25-year-old already has his eye on another competitive pursuit for whenever he decides to hang up his helmet.

Professional bass fishing.

The Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider is an avid angler who spends much of his downtime on the water. And while he's got plenty left to accomplish on a dirt bike, Kitchen told OutKick OutDoors in an exclusive interview that he'd love to try his hand at tournament fishing someday.

In fact, he's already gotten a little taste of what that world looks like.

Earlier this year, Kitchen participated in the Bassmaster Classic Celebrity Pro-Am, where he teamed up with professional angler Tristan McCormick. The two didn't exactly dominate the leaderboard, but Kitchen came away with a few fish, a new friend and an even greater appreciation for the athletes who make their living chasing bass.

"It was amazing. Me and Tristan, we had a great time," Kitchen said. "I didn't know Tristan going into it. I'd just heard his name, but he's a great dude."

McCormick, who grew up near Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Tennessee, was already familiar with motocross thanks to the amateur racing held there. And Kitchen was pleased to discover that he could hold his own on the fishing side of things, too.

"He actually said I wasn't like, you know, sometimes he gets people that go to those events and they say they can fish a little bit and they really don't know what's going on," Kitchen recalled. "But I was proud to at least catch a few fish. We didn't do great, but it was a blast."

More importantly, the experience gave Kitchen a firsthand look at just how demanding professional bass fishing can be.

"It was an eye-opener, too," he admitted. "I've always said, when I'm done racing, I want to give that a shot. I really do. But I have so much more respect for those guys. If I ever wanted to do that, I'd have to really buckle down. You have to put so much time, so much time into it."

And it's not like Kitchen is a newcomer to fishing.

Growing up in Washington state, he developed a love for the outdoors thanks in part to his father. Around age 14 or 15, he discovered an old fly rod in his dad's shop, started practicing casts in the yard and quickly fell in love with fly fishing.

Watch Levi Kitchen's entire interview with OutKick OutDoors here:

These days, Kitchen lives in Florida, where bass fishing has become his primary obsession. But he still makes time to return home to Washington for an annual steelhead fishing trip with his father, friends and family — a tradition that has lasted roughly a decade.

"I still love it," Kitchen said. "When the racing's done down the road, you'll probably find me on a river fly fishing a lot, or on a bass boat. Just maybe not Florida in the summertime."

Fishing also provides a welcome contrast to the intensity of professional motocross.

Kitchen said he and fellow rider Malcolm Stewart frequently talk about fishing in Florida, and he suspects the sport appeals to motocross athletes because it's such a departure from their day jobs.

"We get to kind of calm down and be a little more present than when you're just wide open on a dirt bike," he explained.

But there's still a competitive element, even when championship points aren't on the line.

"It's another way to be, I guess, kind of competitive with yourself," Kitchen said. "You obviously don't want to go out there and not catch a fish, but sometimes that happens."

And as much as Kitchen enjoys catching fish, he also appreciates the atmosphere surrounding competitive bass fishing.

At the Bassmaster Classic Pro-Am, he found himself surrounded by athletes and celebrities from across the sports world, including NFL Hall of Famer Randy Moss. Kitchen was particularly amused by Moss' impressive collection of fishing boats.

"First, Randy Moss, I'm like, who's this guy with two of the same specced-out, crazy sweet boats?" Kitchen recalled. "And they're like, 'Oh, that's Randy.'"

He also noticed something that set the fishing crowd apart from what he's accustomed to in motocross: Competitors were hanging out together at the hotel bar the night before the tournament.

"You do not see that in dirt bike racing," he said. "They put their game face on when it's time to fish, but just the whole event and weekend is pretty laid-back, which is kind of my style."

Of course, Kitchen isn't preparing to trade his Kawasaki for a bass boat just yet.

Levi Kitchen has big plans for 2027 season

The newly crowned 250 SMX World Champion, who helped end a seven-year championship drought for Pro Circuit Kawasaki, has made it clear that he wants a long career in motocross.

After recovering from a serious crash at Daytona in 2025, Kitchen said he's learned the importance of racing smarter and protecting his longevity in the sport.

"I want to race for a lot more years to come," he said.

And he's certainly not satisfied with one championship. His goals for 2027 include winning both a Supercross and a Pro Motocross title before eventually moving up from the 250 class.

So, no, Levi Kitchen isn't walking away from moto anytime soon.

But when the day finally comes to hang up the helmet, don't be surprised if The Chef trades his dirt bike for a bass boat.

New York Knicks trip on opening night with T-shirt flub as they hang first banner in 53 years

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:24:30 -0400

The Knicks waited 53 years to hang a championship banner at Madison Square Garden. Naturally, they still found a way to trip on Opening Night.

New York is getting roasted for an awkward giveaway T-shirt gaffe, made funnier by the team proudly posting the evidence on social media.

Ahead of the ring ceremony on Tuesday, the Knicks previewed the shirts draped across every seat in the arena.

CARMELO ANTHONY SAYS LEBRON JAMES AND 76ERS CAN BE 'PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE,' INCLUDING REIGNING-CHAMPION KNICKS

Instead of honoring the actual 2025-26 title fans bled for, the shirts read "2026-27 Champions Night."

Instead of quietly eating the reprint bill, the Knicks posted the evidence and let the internet have its way with them. Then again, misprints make fortunes in coin collecting. Maybe MSG didn't blow the giveaway so much as hand 20,000 fans a collector's item.

For good measure, they also hung their NBA Cup banner to crowd the rafters.

When that 2025-26 banner finally joins 1970 and 1973 to mark the franchise's third championship, it officially closes a miserable half-century drought, cementing this team into New York sports immortality.

Keeping that crown will be a nightmare. The East got a lot meaner over the summer, headlined by LeBron James taking his talents to Philadelphia. LeBron hunting one last ring with the Sixers feels cooked up specifically to ruin New York's party.

For now, the Knicks are on top of the basketball world.

TJ Watt's wife breaks ranks with NFL march toward Paris game questioning how playing there makes sense

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:21:40 -0400

Count Dani Watt as the lone voice in the NFL wilderness questioning the league's wisdom about playing Sunday's game in France amid civil unrest that has rocked Paris and other parts of the country.

Even as the league's march toward playing its first-ever game in France seems inexorable with no one else publicly questioning going into a riot-torn country, Watt asked one simple question on her Instagram story relating to how the game remains on schedule:

"Tell me how this one makes sense???" Watt posted.

Dani Watt is T.J. Watt's wife.

T.J. Watt is one of the Pittsburgh Steelers' best players and perhaps their best defensive player.

And as such, he's scheduled to board a charter flight with his teammates to France on Thursday in advance of the Steelers playing the New Orleans Saints at Stade de France, 20 miles or so from the center of Paris, where cars were burned and stores have been looted in recent days.

You know what else Dani Watt is?

She's the first person connected to the NFL to ask this fundamental and logical question. No one else has done that.

No one else – not any coach, player or even any politician in either Louisiana or Pennsylvania – has been so candid about what is about to happen.

NFL MONITORS FRANCE STREET VIOLENCE BEFORE SAINTS-STEELERS GAME NEAR PARIS WITH A MAJOR DECISION LOOMING

And what is about to happen is that the NFL is sending two teams to a foreign country dealing with burning, looting, protesting, rioting, arrests and other violence, so the teams can play a football game within driving distance of the problems.

So, to echo Watt, how does this one make sense?

NFL FRANCE PREPARATIONS CONTINUE AS STEELERS SPEAK WITH LEAGUE, LOUISIANA GOV JEFF LANDRY HEADS TO PARIS

The NFL has said, and insisted again on Tuesday, that all is well.

OutKick has reported multiple times in the past three days that the league is full steam ahead on playing this game.

Security has been heightened.

Contingencies have been considered.

And, dang it, we're playing in France, the NFL says.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ARRIVE IN FRANCE WITH SAFETY TOP OF MIND AHEAD OF NFL'S FIRST PARIS GAME

NFL executive vice president for Club Business, International and League Events Peter O'Reilly was asked Tuesday about the NFL's ongoing plans to play the game on Sunday.

And he went through the litany of precautions the NFL has been "vigilant" about in leading up to the game.

You know what the NFL hasn't been vigilant about? Stuff that hasn't happened. Stuff that might happen.

The situation on the ground is unpredictable because the students, communists, anarchists, anti-Israel and other protesters that have collaborated to make France a worse place to visit in recent days might do something no one expects.

No one knows what that could be because these people are not predictable. They don't always run a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1.

They sometimes throw a bomb. Perhaps literally.

The NFL is confidently gambling none of that happens. And it probably will not. But nobody knows for sure.

And so the question Dani Watt is asking echoes in logic: How does this one make sense?

LPGA star Charley Hull has friend to thank for not getting drunken forehead tattoo after night out at the club

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:03:21 -0400

The Smokin' Charley Hull that we all know and love almost became an unrecognizable forehead tattooed version of herself. The LPGA star and everyone else has a friend of hers to thank for not going the forehead tattoo route.

She revealed during a discussion with Golfweek that a night out drinking at a club in Ibiza at just 17 ended with her receiving a tattoo on her foot. It was a tattoo that read "hold tight" and it nearly ended up across her forehead.

When asked if she was to get a tattoo, what she would get, Charley revealed that she already had a few and told the story about her drunken night out.

"I’ve got three tattoos. I’ve got one on my foot. I got drunk when I was in Ibiza when I was 17 years old. Me and my friend James went out partying," she explained.

"I was coming back from the club, and I thought it would be a great idea to get a tattoo across my head, because me and my best mate, James, our favorite thing we always said to each other was 'Hold tight, hold tight.'"

She continued, "He wouldn’t let me get it on my forehead. Instead, I got it on my foot and it says, 'hold tight.' He got a matching one on his arm."

CHARLEY HULL PULLS OFF SAVAGE LOTTERY PRANK ON HER CADDIE AT WOMEN'S BRITISH OPEN

The next morning, Charley woke up hungover without any memory whatsoever of getting a tattoo, let alone trying to get one on her forehead.

"'Bloody hell, was I that drunk last night? I walked back with a plastic bag on my foot.' He said, 'No, Charley. That's the wrapping after you've had your tattoo,'" she said.

"I was like, 'What? I got a tattoo?' He said, 'Yeah, you were trying to get it on your forehead and we had to stop you there.'"

Charley's other two tattoos don't have quite the story that this one does. And neither of them ended up on her forehead.

She has her ex-husband's name on her wrist, which she says she's tried to have removed, and a lightning bolt on her finger to match a tattoo another of her friends has.

One out of three isn't a great average when it comes to tattoos. Two out of three is much better. Thankfully, she didn't end up with a forehead tattoo. Not many people can pull that look off.

Getting someone's name you're in a relationship with tattooed on your body is almost always a bad idea, but not as bad as an inked-up forehead is.

NBA has no issue with LeBron James' helicopter commute, 76ers star calls transportation 'just another way'

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:59:11 -0400

The helicopter that new 76ers superstar LeBron James uses to commute between New York and Philadelphia remains a topic of conversation in NBA circles. Just ahead of the league’s 2026-27 season, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver characterized the Fanatics-branded aircraft and the financial structure of the arrangement as "perfectly appropriate."

James played in the Sixers’ preseason finale Friday and was asked about the chatter surrounding his preferred method of travel on days when he needs to commute from the team’s facility to New York City.

"Yeah, I’ve done it before," and described the rotorcraft as "just another way of transportation."

"That’s all," James added.

Fanatics, which was founded by former 76ers minority owner Michael Rubin, is covering the costs associated with transporting James on the roughly 40-minute, one-way trip.

According to multiple reports, James’ estimated commute costs for Sixers home games are expected to total just under $1 million this season, depending on how often he uses the helicopter. The Athletic calculated that flying James to and from 41 home games at $4,000 per flight would create a $328,000 tab. That figure does not include trips for practices, though it also does not account for flight cancellations.

CARMELO ANTHONY SAYS LEBRON JAMES AND 76ERS CAN BE 'PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE,' INCLUDING REIGNING-CHAMPION KNICKS

In 2022, Rubin said he decided to sell his stake to "ensure our new businesses don’t conflict with my responsibilities as part-owner of the Sixers."

Rubin said in June 2022 that he decided to sell his stake "to ensure our new businesses don’t conflict with my responsibilities as part-owner of the Sixers." Rubin was part of the ownership group that purchased the 76ers for an estimated $290 million in 2011. But as Fanatics expanded into sports betting and other business ventures, Rubin decided it was time to sell his estimated 10% stake in Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment.

Rubin continues to be a self-described "life-long fan" of the team.

During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Silver made clear that there was no reason to be concerned about either the arrangement between James and Fanatics or potential salary-cap circumvention.

"He has a deal with Fanatics," Silver said just hours before the Detroit Pistons rallied for a comeback win over the Boston Celtics to tip off the new season. " . . . Part of his deal is they're going to supply a helicopter to him as long as it's just a deal between the Fanatics and LeBron and no team is involved; there's no rules issue there whatsoever."

PHILADELPHIA ATHLETES, INCLUDING NEW TEAMMATES, REACT TO LEBRON JAMES JOINING 76ERS: 'WELCOME TO THE CITY'

After signing with the Sixers in free agency, James decided his primary residence would be in the country's largest city. He is not the first NBA player to do so while playing for Philadelphia. Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick also lived in New York during his two seasons with the Sixers. But James’ decision to make the routine trip by helicopter has drawn particular attention.

After 76ers practice has wrapped and news conferences are underway, James’ teammates have occasionally paused and laughed as the noise from his helicopter taking off from the roof of the team’s business center briefly drowns out their responses.

The 76ers visit Madison Square Garden to face the reigning champion New York Knicks Tuesday night.

Convicted bank robber returns to old tricks with ‘old man’ mask in Florida heists, feds say

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:45:53 -0400

A convicted bank robber allegedly returned to a familiar disguise while robbing two Florida banks on supervised release, donning an "old man" mask and fleeing in a getaway vehicle tied to his earlier crimes, federal authorities said.

David Sartin Jr., 40, of St. Petersburg, faces two bank robbery charges after investigators say he targeted banks weeks apart while concealing his face behind a prosthetic mask with gray facial hair.

The allegations follow a sentence of more than 10 years in federal prison in a case involving five Texas bank robberies, during which Sartin wore a similar disguise, according to a criminal complaint reviewed by Fox News Digital.

His supervised release began in May 2025. Investigators allege he robbed the first Florida bank in August 2026.

"In all of SARTIN JR.’s bank robberies, he used a mask," an FBI special agent wrote in the affidavit.

TWO KENTUCKY BANK EMPLOYEES SHOT AND KILLED DURING ROBBERY, POLICE HUNTING SUSPECT

The first holdup happened Aug. 24 at Valley Bank in Largo, where the suspect entered wearing a straw hat, sports jacket, gloves and a prosthetic face covering, according to investigators.

He approached a teller, demanded money and warned, "no dye packs," the complaint states.

As the teller gathered cash and activated a silent alarm, the robber repeatedly urged the employee to hurry, a bank manager told investigators.

"Until we meet again," the suspect said after collecting the money, according to the manager’s account.

THIEF USES WAYMO AS A GETAWAY CAR

Authorities say he escaped with $2,900, wedging a yellow wet-floor sign between the exit doors before fleeing toward a nearby church.

Surveillance video showed the suspect retrieving a bicycle, riding into a nature preserve and leaving the area in a Toyota FJ Cruiser, according to the affidavit.

Investigators traced the vehicle’s movements through video from surrounding businesses, city trucks, a police cruiser and a school bus. The Toyota was the same vehicle used in several of Sartin’s earlier Texas robberies, authorities said.

On Sept. 15, a similarly disguised suspect entered a Truist Bank in St. Petersburg wearing a flat cap, glasses, a sports jacket and an "old man" mask with a gray mustache and whiskers.

PHILADELPHIA MAN IN 'CHUCKY' MASK ACCUSED OF TERRORIZING CITIZENS NABBED IN LAS VEGAS AFTER MANHUNT

He handed a teller a note demanding cash without dye and fled with approximately $2,554, according to the complaint.

The teller suspected the man was wearing a mask and told investigators he "did not move like an old man would," the FBI agent wrote.

THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ON YOUR STREET CORNER: LAWFUL SPYING OR CONSTITUTIONALLY PROBLEMATIC?

By then, the FBI was monitoring Sartin’s home with a surveillance camera. Video captured the Toyota leaving before the second robbery and returning afterward, when a man resembling Sartin unloaded a bicycle, according to the affidavit.

The following evening, investigators watched Sartin change the vehicle’s appearance. Investigators said he spray-painted the vehicle’s white roof black.

MASKED SUSPECT CHARGED WITH USING FUEL, FIREWORKS IN WALMART KIDS SECTION AS COVER FOR MASSIVE JEWELRY HEIST

Sartin was arrested Sept. 19 on a warrant for violating his supervised release. Searches uncovered a bicycle and clothing similar to those seen in the robbery video, authorities said.

Agents searching his storage unit found an "old man" mask they said matched the disguise worn during both robberies, along with glasses, clothing and a fake handgun.

In a guest room where Sartin occasionally stayed, investigators also found another mask and a journal identifying him as its author. Its title page included the words, "God’s Best friend is a Bank Robber!" according to the complaint.

Sartin’s previous convictions stretch back nearly two decades. He was convicted of attempted bank robbery in Mississippi in 2008 following a failed holdup involving Halloween masks and disguises.

In 2018, he was sentenced to 10 years and one month in federal prison in the Texas bank robbery case.

He now faces up to 20 years in prison on each new robbery count if convicted, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida.

NAACP requests Pennsylvania home pull Halloween decorations hanging fake bodies from trees

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 19:00:21 -0400

The Bucks County NAACP called for a Pennsylvania home to remove its Halloween decorations on Thursday, accusing the display of carrying a "painful historical significance" for Black Americans.

In a statement on social media, the Bucks County NAACP reported on a complaint earlier this month regarding a home featuring fake bodies wrapped in black body bags and hung from trees. The organization felt "deeply concerned" over this display, remarking that "something can be legally permissible and still be profoundly harmful."

"For Black Americans, this imagery carries a painful historical significance rooted in lynching and racial terror," Bucks County NAACP said. "While we recognize that Halloween decorations are often intended to frighten or shock, intent does not erase impact."

The organization has spoken with the Bristol Borough council on the matter, but it emphasized that it was focused more on "voluntary reconsideration of the display" rather than forcibly removing the decorations.

"This is not about restricting Halloween celebrations or freedom of expression. It is about historical awareness, empathy, and respect for our neighbors. We cannot change our history, but we can choose how we respond when that history is invoked in our communities today," the statement read.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Bucks County NAACP confirmed the council has responded to their concerns and has spoken to the homeowner at the heart of the conflict. The organization also clarified that it has not advocated for government censorship or asserted that the resident committed a crime with the display.

"We are encouraging the homeowner to voluntarily reconsider the display and are interested in working with borough leadership on opportunities for community education and constructive dialogue. Ultimately, our goal is not to assign motives or create division. It is to encourage historical awareness, empathy, and respect for the experiences of others. We cannot begin to bridge divides we refuse to acknowledge," Bucks County NAACP President Adrienne King told Fox News Digital.

King also said that since the story has gotten attention, she has received several personal calls and messages about similar displays outside of Bucks County, suggesting "the issue extends beyond one homeowner or one community."

In a comment to Fox News Digital, Bristol Borough Manager James Dillon confirmed that he and other members of the council spoke to the homeowner. The homeowner informed them that the display was not meant to offend and that he has no intention of removing it.

Have MLB home run celebrations gone too far? Junior Caminero's long run around the bases sparks debate

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:35:17 -0400

Major League Baseball is viewed as one of the more traditional sports, along with golf, where an expected standard developed over 150 years of history. But things change over time, and in recent years, there's been a concerted effort to allow players to show more personality, be more demonstrative, and celebrate their success.

Some pitchers now demonstrably react after striking out opposing hitters, to varying degrees. Mets reliever Jefry Yan being the most prominent example. Many hitters are now more willing to wear their emotions on their sleeve, in moments big and small.

How you feel about this can relate to your age, the generation you grew up watching, or willingness to change with the times. But there are celebrations, and then there are celebrations. Monday night, in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians, we had the latter.

RAYS PUNCH THEIR TICKET TO THE WORLD SERIES, TAKING DOWN GUARDIANS IN GAME 6 TO SET UP SERIES WITH BREWERS

Needing a win to get to the World Series, the Rays were up 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, facing Cleveland's best reliever, Cade Smith. Caminero came up with a runner at first and nobody out, crushing a line drive to left that hit the foul pole for a two-run homer.

A huge moment for the 23-year-old second-year player that put his team one step closer to a championship. And Caminero enjoyed it. Really, really enjoyed it.

At nearly 39 seconds, it was the second-slowest home run trot in the Statcast tracking era, per MLB.com's Sarah Lang. 39 seconds! To run the bases. And it's not just Caminero.

In game two of the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers, catcher William Contreras hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the fifth and, again, admired it and took an extraordinary amount of time to get around the bases.

Reactions to Caminero's example were, well, mixed, to say the least.

ESPN's Jeff Passan posted the video on X, "This is how you celebrate a home run in a game that could send you to the World Series. Junior Caminero is ready."

Other fans called it a "disgrace," comparing it to how Derek Jeter would celebrate a big homer. One fan wrote, "Junior Caminero is a disgrace to the game of baseball. Imagine someone on the Yankees acting like this in a big playoff game. Imagine playing in the same division as Derek Jeter and acting this classless. There’s an argument that the Rays should bench Caminero. This isn’t how you act."

Another had a similar sentiment, calling it a "slap in the face" to baseball.

"An absolute disgrace to baseball and everything this great game stands for! I first saw this video when Fry Daddy posted it, and I still can’t believe what I witnessed. Congratulations to both teams—one has a chance to win its first World Series, and that’s awesome. But what he did was an embarrassment, a complete disgrace, and a slap in the face to the game I love."

No other sport has the number of "unwritten" rules that baseball has traditionally had in place. Don't show up the other team being one of them. But the celebrations this postseason raise the question, should those "rules" exist in the first place?

OUTKICK IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE FOX NEWS APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

There are two valid sides to it; one says that baseball is about tradition and big celebrations are against the tradition of celebrating like you've been there before. The other is that players showing their personalities and emotions is important to modernize the game and bring in fans who enjoy seeing how much the moment means. Even Shohei Ohtani, who is rarely demonstrative, had a big celebration after hitting a home run in game four of the NLCS.

Cade Smith, the closer who gave up the homer to Caminero, was asked his thoughts about the celebration after the game and had a magnanimous answer, saying, "It's not my style but I guess if I don’t like it, I shouldn’t give up home runs."

Videos of Caminero's home-run, uh, walking trot, exploded on social media, and isn't that what MLB wants? Fans who don't normally see baseball to get the passion and energy and excitement that the postseason brings? On the other hand, though, is that the best example of it?

Though, again, if you're going to celebrate anything, a huge home run to give your team a stronger chance to reach the World Series is probably the time to do it. Caminero and Contreras will have a chance to celebrate in the actual World Series when it starts on Friday. Just imagine if one of them hits a walk-off homer.

American Airlines jet suffers brake trouble, blown tire after landing at Chicago O'Hare: FAA

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:29:15 -0400

An American Airlines flight from Spain experienced brake issues and a blown tire after landing at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Tuesday afternoon.

American Airlines Flight 41, a Boeing 787-800 traveling from Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport in Spain, landed safely at O'Hare around 2:30 p.m. local time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Fox News Digital in a statement.

The FAA said the crew reported a brake issue followed by "a blown tire" after landing.

Bill Ackman sounds off on 'crazy, radicalized' Democratic Party, argues it's in 'worst place it's ever been'

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:26:08 -0400

Investor Bill Ackman called the Democratic Party "crazy, radicalized and anti-American" during an interview on Tuesday, arguing that the party is "in a very bad place."

"I think the Democratic Party is in the worst place it's ever been, in the 250-year history of the country," Ackman told Katie Miller, host of the "Katie Miller Podcast." "I think it's become like this crazy, radicalized, you know, anti-American thing. I think it's — and by the way, I think there's some very high-quality Democrats, you know, senators and, sure, some congressmen — but the party itself, I think, is in a very bad place."

Ackman specifically named Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as someone he used to be friendly with but now believes has "compromised" on his values.

"And I think the problem with people who've chosen to be a politician for a career, you either have to get with the party in order to continue, or you get primaries," Ackman said. "You know, actually, Senator Schumer, I had a good relationship with him over the years. I thought he was a good man. But in recent years, I felt he's just trying to keep his job."

"And, you know, that's the really low point for politicians when they'll compromise on their values, and they'll support, you know, a quasi-terrorist, perhaps running for Senate in Michigan, because they have to for the party," Ackman said. "Stuff like that to me is, or terrorist supporter, is not, that's, I find that pretty, deeply concerning."

Schumer's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

"Chuck Schumer has been in Washington long enough to know exactly what’s happening to his party. The question isn’t whether he sees it. It’s whether he’s willing to do anything about it," Y. David Scharf, chair of Morrison Cohen’s government strategies and controversies practice, told Fox News Digital of Ackman's remarks.

"There’s something remarkable about watching one of the most powerful Jewish Democrats in America struggle to stand up to the very people in his party who are alienating Jewish voters," he continued. "Bill Ackman isn’t asking Schumer to become a Republican. He’s asking him to act like the Democrat he spent decades telling us he was."

EX-DSA MEMBER RIPS ABDUL EL-SAYED AND WARNS FAR-LEFT ADOPTING POLITICS OF FOREIGN TERROR ORG

Ackman appeared to reference Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has faced questions over his family's alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

El-Sayed's campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The controversy followed a Washington Free Beacon report about social media posts in which El-Sayed's half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, described her family's history with the Muslim Brotherhood.

In one 2012 post, Abdelhadi described a conversation with her and El-Sayed's mother, Fatten Elkomy, about her involvement with the organization during college in Egypt.

"Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early '70s while she was in college #respect," she posted to X.

El-Sayed has denied any family connections to the group. During a recent interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," El-Sayed rejected the assertions when asked to set the record straight.

"I have no ties; we have no ties," El-Sayed said.

During a town hall on Saturday, El-Sayed responded to a man identified as Tommy, asking him whether he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood.

"Sure," El-Sayed said. "Yeah, absolutely. But I want to ask the question that you're asking: Why are you asking the question?"

Ackman has also previously voiced his opposition to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, criticizing his policies as harmful to the city.

"I'm not a fan," he responded. "He's very smart, very charismatic, very good at politics, but I think the decisions he's making are very bad for New York."

When asked if he'd consider running for mayor, Ackman responded, "I would say possibly, but I think I could achieve a lot more by helping a very talented person do that job."

Kate Middleton brings back Princess Diana's famous tiara for glamorous night alongside Prince William

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:12:57 -0400

When you find a tiara you love, you stick with it.

Kate Middleton brought out a royal favorite for the latest state banquet, once again dazzling in the sparkling headpiece that has become her go-to for palace glamour.

On Oct. 20, the Princess of Wales joined her husband, Prince William, to help King Charles and Queen Camilla host Sultan Haitham bin Tarik of Oman for his state visit to the U.K. at Windsor Castle. For the glamorous evening, the mother of three wore her go-to headpiece: Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara, which she has worn numerous times since 2015.

The 44-year-old completed her look with a flowing, sunshine-yellow gown by Elie Saab, King Charles' Royal Family Order badge and the Royal Victorian Order sash and star.

"Kate is wearing what I like to call her 'old faithful,'" royal commentator Amanda Matta told Fox News Digital.

"It has truly become her signature piece of royal jewelry, and it speaks to her constancy as a part of the modern monarchy. Paired with a new beautiful gown for the formal occasion, a repeat tiara keeps the entire look from overshadowing the visiting Sultan of Oman and the true hosts of the evening: King Charles and Queen Camilla."

"I always come back to what a perfect piece this was for Kate to pull off all those years ago when she first wore It," said Matta. "It's a very romantic piece, tying in nicely with the sentimentality of William and Kate's royal love story."

Since Kate married Prince William in 2011, she has worn five different royal tiaras, with the Lover's Knot appearing to be her favorite.

The sparkler is a replica of an earlier piece, Town & Country reported. According to the outlet, it was created for Queen Mary in 1913 by the House of Garrard using pearls and diamonds already owned by her family. Mary modeled it after a tiara owned by her grandmother, Princess Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge. The original tiara is believed to be held in a private collection.

The Court Jeweller reported that when Mary commissioned the piece, she "sacrificed a tiara from her own jewelry collection, the Ladies of England tiara, to make it."

When Mary died in 1953, she left the Lover's Knot tiara to her granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II, who wore it on several occasions. In 1981, she loaned it to her daughter-in-law, Princess Diana, the outlet reported.

The Lover's Knot was one of only two tiaras Diana was ever photographed wearing, with the other being the Spencer tiara, which belonged to her father. The outlet noted that the Spencer tiara is now owned by the late princess' brother, Charles Spencer.

After Diana's divorce in 1996, the Lover's Knot was returned to Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Camilla opted for the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, which was one of the late Queen Elizabeth II's favorites. Unlike the Lover's Knot, Queen Elizabeth II wore that headpiece numerous times throughout her 70 years on the throne, People magazine reported. Camilla first wore it in 2023.

Vacation spot slapped with US travel warning over crime, sexual assaults and kidnappings

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:12:36 -0400

The U.S. State Department has escalated its travel warning for an East African nation popular for its wildlife safaris, urging Americans to reconsider visiting amid heightened health concerns and ongoing security threats.

The State Department on Monday raised its travel advisory for Kenya from Level 2, "Exercise Increased Caution," to Level 3, "Reconsider Travel."

Health risks and crime were cited among the reasons for the advisory, along with civil unrest, kidnapping, terrorism and traffic safety concerns.

AMERICANS WARNED OF KIDNAPPING, EXTORTION AS VIOLENT CRIME GRIPS PARTS OF TOURIST SPOT

"Prepare a will," the advisory added. "Establish a proof of life protocol with your loved ones."

Americans are urged to avoid certain neighborhoods in Nairobi and several counties across the country due to risks of crime, kidnapping and terrorism — as well as areas near the Ethiopian border due to unrest.

In its broader warning about the country, State Department officials said that violent crime "can occur at any time," noting that petty crime "is common" throughout Kenya.

The advisory also noted that solo travelers should exercise caution, and that some Americans have been sexually assaulted in bars, resorts and hotels.

"Local police often are unable to respond effectively to crimes," the advisory said.

SEXUAL ASSAULTS AND SCAMS PLAGUE TOP VACATION HOT SPOT, PROMPTING URGENT ADVISORY

The State Department also warned that Americans frequently fall victim to investment scams involving gold and other high-value commodities, with Kenyan authorities unlikely to help victims recover their losses.

"Property disputes are common in Kenya," added the warning.

"Americans who have bought land, churches and businesses have lost their investments or been pushed off the property by locals who claim the land or business."

Medical services in Kenya are limited, particularly in rural areas, with some facilities lacking essential medicines and equipment.

"Except for a few private medical facilities based in the large urban centers with enhanced capability, many health issues may require medical evacuation at your own expense," officials said. "Medical facilities will usually deny service if payment is not made upfront."

The advisory also warned that protests can turn violent — with demonstrators previously attacking vehicles carrying Americans, including safari vehicles and motorcycle taxis.

Americans are urged to stay alert in tourist spots, keep a low profile and avoid demonstrations and crowds while visiting the country.

Carmelo Anthony says LeBron James and 76ers can be 'problem for everyone,' including reigning-champion Knicks

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:10:45 -0400

While most fans in the stands at Madison Square Garden are looking forward to the New York Knicks lifting their first NBA title banner in 53 years on Tuesday night, there will be a minority excited for this new chapter with the Philadelphia 76ers, which will feature the league’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James, during the 2026-27 season.

Expectations are just as high in Philadelphia as they are in New York this season, especially with James joining the likes of Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and V.J. Edgecombe on a team that could do damage in the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks are still the team to beat – they are the reigning champions after all – out of the East, but the 76ers are another early-season favorite to win the conference because of the star power.

We’ve seen so-called "super teams" come and go throughout sports, and James was a part of one that ended up seeing success with one during his Miami Heat years. Could the same thing occur in Year 24 in the NBA, this time in Philly?

Either way, one NBA legend believes this is a dream scenario for the league, granted things turn out the way they’re supposed to on paper.

"Lebron in Philly is exactly the kind of storyline that the league thrives on," Carmelo Anthony told OutKick, while highlighting his role in DraftKings new campaign for the NBA season. "You got a guy who’s done everything in this game of basketball. He’s now in a new city with a hungry, starving fan base that was almost there a couple of seasons ago. So, that didn’t go anywhere. They’re not so far beyond that point. They still understand the process.

"So, if they figure it out with the fit and time, they figure it out early, to me that’s important. They’re a problem for everyone in the East, including New York. Because they’re not going to let off the gas if they are healthy."

James figures to be a catalyst of sorts in this 76ers juggernaut, though there are questions surrounding his regular-season availability – he turns 42 in December – and what role he will play given the All-Star options around him.

As we saw with the Los Angeles Lakers, James didn’t mind wearing different hats. He played the leading scorer role if needed, facilitated as a pseudo point guard in some cases, and simply moved around the court to allow space for another star that was getting hot on the offensive end.

Philadelphia has 5 strong scorers when they tip off on Tuesday night in Manhattan, which is why the thought of this team fully healthy throughout the season is intriguing.

It’s also why some believe James is simply setting himself up for one more final push for a fifth NBA title ring. This group, in his eyes, is ready to make that run, so could this be his final year in the NBA?

"Now, I haven’t spoken to him about that part of it. But I would say just observing from afar and comprehending where he’s at mentally, he loves the game of basketball," Anthony replied when asked that exact questions. "He also loves challenges, right? I think this is a challenge that he distilled into himself that he’s willing to take on. He understands that this is Year 20-something in the league, and he’s not going to be able to do it the way [he did in the past]. He understands all of that. I don’t think he’s coming into Philly with that mentality.

"I think he’s coming I with, ‘I know I have a high-impact guard in Tyrese [Maxey]. I know I have a high-impact shooting guard in Jaylen Brown on both sides of the basketball. I know I have, when healthy, arguably the best big man in the game of basketball in Joel Embiid.’ He’s seeing all of these pieces – we got a young, explosive V.J. Edgecombe that he’s going to get better from an intellect standpoint. He’s going to learn the little intricacies of the game of basketball that LeBron understands. He’s going to teach that to him.

"I just like Philly, if they get it right and the fit and time, and they get it right early, they’ll be in the driver’s seat."

STAYING MELO WITH DRAFTKINGS

While Anthony is looking forward to what the Knicks do this season, he’s excited for his partnership with DraftKings and being a part of its campaign ahead of the season.

"We got a great campaign, man. Myself, Kevin Hart, Nick Jonas. We really came together, and I got to give a shoutout to DraftKings and that creative team for putting that concept together," he said. "The beauty in that is the fact that we can have more fun with DraftKings because it’s in all 50 states now, which is major. I just love the fact that more people are involved, and more people can have fun with the game of basketball in this sense, and just sports in general. I love that."

Anthony called it a "beautiful thing" being able to work alongside Hart and Jonas for the campaign, which he is excited for fans to see.

With DraftKings available in all 50 states, the campaign revolves around Hart and Jonas traveling throughout the country, where car troubles can happen.

Judge Trump called a ‘lunatic’ abruptly backs off demand after showdown with DOJ No. 3

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:08:05 -0400

A Biden-appointed judge embroiled in a fierce dispute with the Trump administration over the removal of hundreds of trees at a federally owned D. C. golf course reversed course during Monday's nearly seven-hour hearing.

Judge Ana Reyes ended the nearly seven-hour hearing by backing away from her initial demand that Justice Department attorneys arguing the case put their names alongside Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr.’s Sunday filing. Reyes had invoked Rule 11, which requires attorneys to stand behind the factual basis of court filings and can subject them to sanctions for violations.

"Late breaking news," Reyes said. "I'm going to withdraw request that DOJ refile yesterday's brief with identification of who signed it. we've all got better things to spend our time on."

The about-face from Reyes, who hours before the hearing was dubbed a "crazed lunatic" by President Donald Trump on Truth Social, is the latest development in a court battle over Trump's plans to completely renovate East Potomac Golf Links into a "world-class, U.S. Open-caliber course." The lawsuit, which was first filed in February, reached a boiling point earlier this month when the National Park Service removed roughly 430 trees at the golf course over a weekend. The Interior Department said the tree removals were part of a years-old plan to restore the course’s historic design and were unrelated to Trump’s proposed overhaul.

BIDEN JUDGE REJECTS OBAMA CIA CHIEF'S LEGAL BID AGAINST TRUMP OVER ONE KEY PROBLEM

Though the action did not violate a court order, it prompted Reyes to impose a temporary restraining order barring further tree removals. She also was described as "screaming" at the administration attorneys during an Oct. 12 hearing.

The hearing prompted Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward to seek Reyes’ removal from the case, accusing her of bias and "open hostility" toward the Trump administration.

Both Woodward and Trump have called for the release of the court’s audio recordings of the hearings.

"The judge on the case is a crazed lunatic whose courthouse tapes will reveal, may be insane? The tapes have been blocked from usage by the judge," Trump posted Monday hours before the hearing, saying the Trump administration has a "right" to turn the course into a "great, safe, and prestigious" golf course. "Work is scheduled to begin IMMEDIATELY! The finished product will be World Class, and bring income and great prestige back to D.C."

Trump made two other tweets Sunday saying that Interior Department Secretary Doug Burgum and architect Tom Fazio had "developed a plan" to revamp the East Potomac Golf Links into a "World Class Championship Golf Course" and that work would begin November 15.

The tweets prompted Reyes to give the Justice Department an 8 p.m. filing deadline, saying Trump's characterization conflicted with a previous filing that stated there was "no agency action" in Trump's golf course plan.

The filing was signed only by Woodward, which immediately became a point of contention at the start of Monday's hearing.

LIBERAL LAW PROFESSOR BREAKS WITH OBAMA JUDGE OVER TRUMP LAWYER CRACKDOWN: ‘I REFUSE TO TEACH’ IT

Reyes demanded that the attorneys "raise your hand" if they would sign the briefing, which Woodward said was "not an appropriate request."

She then invoked Rule 11 and ordered them to the podium to sign the filing.

But Woodward and the attorneys refused. Reyes initially set a 3 p.m. deadline but later extended it until noon Tuesday and offered to allow the attorneys' names to appear on the brief rather than requiring their signatures. In the end, she abandoned the demand completely.

"For those wondering, a common reason high level DOJ appointees sometimes signs briefs boils down to good leadership," Abhishek Kambli, a former federal prosecutor, wrote on X. "If there is something that is likely to be contentious with a judge, a DOJ leader signs their name on the brief so that any issues someone has with the brief is directed at them rather than lower level attorneys. Regardless, it goes without saying that a decision such as this should not be something a judge is inquiring into."

EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP’S DC JUDICIAL NEMESIS TARGETED IN MISCONDUCT COMPLAINT OVER ALLEGED BIDEN DOJ TIES

"DOJ line attorneys increasingly do not sign briefs because of Dem law fare. Dems have and continue to go after the bar licenses of young DOJ line attorneys who are simply executing on behalf of the department," Rachel Boulvard, vice president of programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute, wrote on X.

Reyes, appointed by President Joe Biden in 2023, previously faced a Justice Department judicial-misconduct complaint over her handling of litigation challenging Trump’s restrictions on transgender individuals serving in the military.

During a February 2025 hearing, Reyes questioned a Trump administration attorney about what Jesus Christ would say about policies excluding transgender people from homeless shelters.

Then-DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle accused Reyes of "hostile and egregious misconduct" and potential bias in a formal complaint filed with the D.C. Circuit. The complaint was later dismissed, with the circuit’s chief judge concluding that a recusal motion was the proper avenue for challenging Reyes’ conduct.

Amy Schumer shares swimsuit photos from Caribbean getaway nearly a year after 50-pound weight-loss reveal

Common disorder linked to 70% higher death rate, but medication may offer protection

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 18:05:00 -0400

People diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) face a roughly 71% higher overall risk of early death compared to those without the condition, according to a new review published in JAMA Network Open.

However, taking prescription ADHD medication may offer a protective benefit, lowering overall risk of death, the review found.

Researchers analyzed data from 19 observational studies involving nearly 16 million people across three continents to evaluate the long-term effects associated with the condition.

DEMENTIA RISK MORE THAN QUADRUPLES AMONG ADULTS WITH COMMON DISORDER

The review considered both unnatural causes of death, such as injuries and suicide, and natural causes, including physical health conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Across all categories, individuals with ADHD experienced elevated mortality rates compared to those without the diagnosis.

"We found that people with ADHD face an increased risk not only of death by suicide and injury, but also of deaths by natural causes, adding to evidence that health inequalities faced by people with ADHD are broad and wide-ranging," senior author Joshua Stott, professor of aging and clinical psychology at University College London (UCL), said in a press release.

The risk of death from suicide was nearly doubled, showing an 89% increase, while the risk of dying from intentional or unintentional injuries, such as motor vehicle accidents, was 55% higher, the study found.

HEAVY DRINKING SURGES AMONG AMERICANS IN ONE AGE GROUP AS OTHER GENERATIONS CUT BACK

There was also a 27% higher risk of death from natural causes among people with ADHD.

The increased risk of death from natural causes was often tied to long-term health risks like smoking and substance use, as well as executive function challenges that can make it harder to manage chronic conditions, attend doctor’s appointments and follow treatment plans.

In one analysis, researchers checked whether medical treatment changed overall mortality rates.

Among people with ADHD, those taking prescribed ADHD medication had a 25% lower risk of death from any cause compared to those not taking medication, suggesting that effective treatment may lower some of the behavioral effects and health risks associated with the condition.

"ADHD is not by definition a life-limiting condition, as the right support and treatment can help people live long and healthy lives," Stott said.

"Our findings underscore the importance of ensuring that everyone who may have ADHD has access to accurate diagnosis and treatment."

Despite these findings, the researchers emphasized several key limitations.

All included studies were observational, meaning the results show associations rather than direct cause-and-effect relationships.

The findings on ADHD medication came from just three of the 19 studies, so those results are still preliminary and based on a much smaller group of people.

Results also varied widely across individual studies due to differences in diagnostic criteria, healthcare access and tracking methods, while underlying factors such as socioeconomic status and other mental health conditions were not controlled across data sets.

"Our findings provide early evidence to suggest that medication may play an important role in supporting the health of people with ADHD, but this is based on a small number of studies and further research is needed to clarify this link," first author Lucy Corrigan, a research assistant in the University of Liverpool’s Department of Psychology, said in the same press release.

"Medication is just part of the story; many people with ADHD benefit from comprehensive, long-term treatment and support."
