            <title>Matthew McConaughey hints at political ambitions after meeting with Pope Leo XIV in Vatican City</title>
            <description>The actor, who considered running for Texas governor in 2021, also discussed AI ethics with the Pope at Vatican City</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/matthew-mcconaughey" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Matthew McConaughey&lt;/a&gt;'s greeting with Pope Leo XIV in Italy earlier this month has sparked political ambitions for the actor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McConaughey spoke to &lt;a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2026/08/15/matthew-mcconaughey-pope-leo-ai-politics/91304463007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;USA Today&lt;/a&gt; about his conversation with the pope and shared whether his conversation with the religious figure swayed his stance on taking political office.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McConaughey describes himself as politically centrist, and he considered running for Texas governor in 2021. He has also advocated for bipartisan gun-safety measures following the 2022 Uvalde school shooting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/matthew-mcconaughey-relationship-advice-keeps-marriage-camila-alves-strong" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY'S PIECE OF RELATIONSHIP ADVICE THAT KEEPS HIS MARRIAGE TO CAMILA ALVES STRONG&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Look, I’m going to use this word ‘religion,’ even though some people are going to tune out when they hear that word," McConaughey told the outlet. "Life is essentially a &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/world/religion" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;religious experience&lt;/a&gt;. There’s a lot of things we can learn about living life – how to treat others and how to treat ourselves – through religious texts and teachings. Even though I agree with the separation of church and state, the values of those should bleed down into the values of any political system."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/jd-vance-tells-pope-leo-xiv-stick-matters-morality-stay-us-public-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JD VANCE TELLS POPE LEO XIV TO 'STICK TO MATTERS OF MORALITY' AND STAY OUT OF US PUBLIC POLICY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He added, "There’s still a constitution out there to be written that all religions could agree on. There's so much commonality. It’s a constitution that I’m excited about seeing – I don't know, maybe even adding to or working on. That would be a great thing to share."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier in the interview, McConaughey told USA Today that he didn't prepare for the conversation, but knew some topics he wanted to discuss with the religious figure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"That’s kind of like preparing a speech for winning an award that you don’t know you’re going to win yet. It’s a bit of a coup de grâce: Don’t do it because it’s not going to go as you expected," McConaughey said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/former-disney-star-david-henrie-rejected-secular-hollywood-lifestyle-after-life-changing-monastery-visit" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FORMER DISNEY STAR DAVID HENRIE REJECTED 'SECULAR' HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE AFTER LIFE-CHANGING MONASTERY VISIT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The actor continued, "So I had some ideas. I wanted to talk to him about religion in today’s world and where it sits with him as our moral compass. Where is religion today? Why has it declined? Why do we see a surge in youth running toward it? They’ve tried other things that they're seeing are vapid and don’t really work because they’re looking for more."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;McConaughey told the outlet that young kids today are "looking for some structure; they’re trying to get more than what the world around them has given them."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

McConaughey asked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"There are already people looking to AI as their digital God. Whether we like what it looks like or not, it is going to represent a true image of mankind by the questions we ask of it and the results we want of it. We may not like what we see when we look in the mirror, but we could also love what we see. It could be a greater truth," McConaughey continued.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"So there’s great upside and I’m excited about it," he added, clarifying his stance on AI. "At the same time, there’s a definite need for caution going forward because we’re going to have to be the users of that tool and not let it tool us, so to speak. So those are the subjects, and what we got to talk about will be between [the pope] and I."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Microsoft exec's grieving widow faces man accused of plotting his murder as she reveals eerie final call</title>
            <description>Kirsten Bridegan told jurors her husband went silent on the call moments before he was shot and killed</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The widow of slain Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan came face to face Monday with the man accused of helping to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/crime/trials" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;plan his killing&lt;/a&gt;, recounting the bitter custody conflict and final phone call that preceded the roadside ambush.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kirsten Bridegan took the witness stand as Mario Fernandez Saldana’s murder trial got underway in Florida.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prosecutors allege Fernandez Saldana helped plan and finance the killing and that Henry Tenon was the gunman. Fernandez Saldana has pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys say the state cannot prove he solicited or intended Bridegan’s death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kirsten’s testimony detailed a fractured co-parenting relationship among Bridegan, his ex-wife Shanna Gardner-Fernandez and Fernandez Saldana.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/casey-anthony-attorney-represent-ex-wife-slain-microsoft-exec" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SLAIN MICROSOFT EXEC'S FAMILY FACES HIS EX, SUSPECTED OF ORCHESTRATING HIS MURDER, FOR FIRST TIME IN COURT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"There’s absolutely no trust," Kirsten told jurors, saying the families relied almost entirely on texts and emails to communicate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kirsten described disputes over parenting time, medical expenses, schooling and religious decisions involving Bridegan’s twins. Prosecutors say the years-long conflict helped fuel the alleged &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/politics/finance/investigations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;murder-for-hire plot&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bridegan, 33, had just dropped off the twins after taking them and his daughter Bexley to dinner when the ambush unfolded, prosecutors say. Kirsten testified that the Wednesday outing was a long-standing routine, Bexley always went with him and Bridegan typically drove the black Volkswagen Atlas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kirsten said she spoke to Bridegan after he dropped off the twins and Bexley excitedly told her they had gotten ice cream. The call then ended in an unusual silence, she testified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It was strange. I remember feeling like it was strange because after I was like, ‘All right, well, love you, I’ll see you soon.’ He was just quiet," she said. "I was like, ‘Okay, it’s kind of weird,’ and hung up, but it was like a pause and just quiet."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-microsoft-exec-sent-warning-email-suspect-ex-wife-accused-murder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FLORIDA MICROSOFT EXEC SENT WARNING EMAIL TO SUSPECT EX-WIFE ACCUSED IN HIS MURDER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Bridegan did not return home, she began calling and drove toward Jacksonville Beach with her mother until a police officer answered her husband’s phone and directed her to the police station.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Officers initially would not tell her what had happened, Kirsten testified. She said they questioned her about Bridegan before eventually informing her that he had been shot and killed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/woman-linked-transgender-zizian-cult-charged-arranging-parents-murders-30th-birthday" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WOMAN LINKED TO TRANSGENDER ZIZIAN CULT CHARGED WITH ARRANGING HER PARENTS' MURDERS ON HER 30TH BIRTHDAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The case has since produced three arrests, a withdrawn cooperation plea and a series of separate trials. Here is a timeline of Bridegan’s killing, the family conflict behind the allegations and the court proceedings ahead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Feb. 23, 2015: Shanna Gardner-Fernandez files for divorce from Jared Bridegan&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gardner-Fernandez filed for divorce from Bridegan after five years of marriage. The couple shared twins and eventually reached a joint-custody agreement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The divorce did not end their disputes. They continued fighting in &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/entertainment/genres/family" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;family court&lt;/a&gt; over matters including custody, child support and where their children would attend school. Prosecutors later described that prolonged conflict as central to the alleged motive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/missouri-neighbor-accused-killing-mother-teen-daughter-after-confronting-family-over-dispute" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MISSOURI NEIGHBOR ACCUSED OF KILLING MOTHER AND TEEN DAUGHTER AFTER CONFRONTING FAMILY OVER DISPUTE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;2017: Bridegan marries Kirsten Bridegan&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bridegan married Kirsten Bridegan in 2017. The couple later had two children, Bexley and London.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/major-break-microsoft-exec-jared-bridegans-murder-case-prosecutors" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;EX-WIFE OF JARED BRIDEGAN ARRESTED IN MICROSOFT EXEC MURDER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kirsten became a prominent voice for Bridegan’s family after his killing, seeking answers as authorities investigated the roadside ambush. She has said the family would not rest until everyone involved was held accountable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;2018: Gardner-Fernandez marries Mario Fernandez Saldana&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gardner-Fernandez met Fernandez Saldana at a CrossFit gym, where he worked in maintenance. The two later married.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prosecutors allege Gardner-Fernandez and Fernandez Saldana planned and financed a murder-for-hire plot against Bridegan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Feb. 16, 2022: Jared Bridegan is killed in Jacksonville Beach&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bridegan had taken his twins and Bexley to dinner before dropping off the older children at Gardner-Fernandez’s home. About three miles away, he encountered a tire placed in the middle of a dark, secluded Jacksonville Beach road, prosecutors say.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/major-break-jared-bridegan-murder-mystery-ex-wife-moves-cross-country" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;MAJOR BREAK IN JARED BRIDEGAN MURDER MYSTERY AFTER EX-WIFE MOVES CROSS-COUNTRY&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bridegan stepped out of his Volkswagen Atlas to move the tire at about 7:30 p.m. and was repeatedly shot, authorities said. Bexley, then 2, remained strapped into her car seat as bullets entered the SUV. A passerby pulled her from the vehicle about three minutes later.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Jan. 25, 2023: Henry Tenon is arrested&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Authorities arrested Tenon nearly a year after Bridegan’s killing. He was charged with second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, accessory after the fact and child abuse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prosecutors later alleged Tenon was the gunman in a murder-for-hire plot. Investigators said the key link between Tenon and Bridegan was Fernandez Saldana, who had rented a Jacksonville home to Tenon and hired him for work at rental properties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;March 16, 2023: Tenon initially pleads guilty and agrees to cooperate&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tenon initially pleaded guilty to second-degree murder under a cooperation agreement that called for him to testify against others accused in the case. The deal exposed him to a sentence of 15 years to life in prison.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tenon later withdrew the plea and cooperation agreement, altering the path of the prosecution. He is now scheduled to face a separate trial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;March 16, 2023: Mario Fernandez Saldana is arrested&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Authorities arrested Fernandez Saldana in Orlando shortly after Tenon’s initial plea hearing. Bridegan’s ex-wife’s husband was charged with first-degree murder and solicitation to commit a capital felony.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prosecutors said Tenon’s cooperation corroborated evidence that Fernandez Saldana helped plan and execute Bridegan’s killing. Investigators also cited checks Fernandez Saldana wrote to Tenon and phone records showing the men communicated dozens of times around the killing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Oct. 20, 2023: Shanna Gardner-Fernandez is arrested&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Authorities arrested Gardner-Fernandez and charged Bridegan’s ex-wife with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and child endangerment in the alleged plot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prosecutors allege Gardner-Fernandez, Fernandez Saldana and Tenon played distinct roles in a planned killing. Gardner-Fernandez has denied the allegations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;April 2026: Judge orders separate trials&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Judge London Kite ordered Gardner-Fernandez and Fernandez Saldana to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/entertainment/events/in-court" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;stand trial&lt;/a&gt; separately after Tenon withdrew his plea and cooperation agreement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ruling reshaped the state’s prosecution, leaving prosecutors to try the three defendants individually, beginning with Fernandez Saldana.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://x.com/FoxTrueCrime" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Aug. 10-14, 2026: Jury selected for Fernandez Saldana’s trial&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;A jury was selected in Duval County, Florida, for Fernandez Saldana’s trial. The panel will hear the first of the related prosecutions to reach trial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The selection process followed years of investigation and pretrial litigation, including the reversal of Tenon’s cooperation agreement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Aug. 17, 2026: Fernandez Saldana’s trial begins&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prosecutors told jurors Fernandez Saldana helped plan and finance Bridegan’s killing as part of a murder-for-hire plot rooted in the custody conflict between Bridegan and Gardner-Fernandez.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fernandez Saldana’s attorneys argue the state cannot prove he solicited or intended Bridegan’s murder.

            <title>Colts face quarterback uncertainty as Daniel Jones recovers from Achilles injury</title>
            <description>Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard wait as backups while questions linger about Jones's ability to run</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;When a franchise goes from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck as its quarterbacks, it is very hard to feel sorry for them when they have years without a true answer at quarterback. However, the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl/indianapolis-colts" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Indianapolis Colts&lt;/a&gt; drafted Anthony Richardson years ago, thinking he would be the answer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There have been more questions and problems with him than solutions. Now they have Shane Steichen entering his fourth season as the coach, and &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/daniel-jones" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Daniel Jones&lt;/a&gt; as their quarterback for the second year – only he is coming off an Achilles tear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is the hope for the Colts this season?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-sports/anthony-richardson-turnovers-preseason-opener-raise-questions-colts-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANTHONY RICHARDSON'S TURNOVERS IN PRESEASON OPENER RAISE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS COLTS FUTURE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Last Year&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Colts started last year looking great, running off an 8-2 record before the bye week. Even their losses were relatively acceptable ones – they dropped one game to the Los Angeles Rams and the other to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both were on the road, and both were 27-20 losses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sure, they had some moments where they were more lucky than good, but great teams position themselves to take advantage of luck. After the bye, it was a complete disaster. They lost in overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs by three. Then they lost at home to the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl/houston-texans" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Houston Texans&lt;/a&gt;, and Jones didn’t play again after the Jacksonville Jaguars game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A promising start saw Jones’s injury eliminate any possibility of the postseason and an 8-9 finish, losing 8 of their final nine games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/dmwdd_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Offseason additions and subtractions&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;There really wasn’t any type of splash from the Colts this offseason. They did upgrade their defense a bit with the signing of Arden Key. His numbers are actually fairly impressive, but he isn’t a name most will be familiar with. On offense, the team signed extensions for both Jones and Alec Pierce.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jones was a bit interesting because the Colts are paying him a lot of money, despite knowing he just tore his Achilles. The receiving room was getting really expensive, but they traded away Michael Pittman Jr. to try and save a few bucks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Roster&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;This should be an interesting season for the Colts. The rumor is that Jones is healthy enough to play and will be the opening week starter under center for the Colts. At backup is the questionable Richardson, and then Riley Leonard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both of those guys need to be ready if called upon because Jones is at his best when running, so if he can’t do that, they will be in some trouble. Pierce had ankle surgery, and it is questionable if he is back in action to start the season. The team still has some pieces, but I don’t think there are nearly enough to make it dominant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Betting Outlook&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Colts are listed at 7.5 wins for the day, and I think it is a great line hung by the books. Their schedule isn’t exactly easy, especially for a team that didn’t make the postseason. However, if they can keep things rolling the way they were when Jones was healthy to start last season, I think they have a good chance to win at least eight games this year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m personally not playing anything on them. I’ve said that Jones is a competent quarterback outside of games played in New York, but coming off of the Achilles injury, I’d be more likely to back the under than the over. There is a solid defense, and if they get a quarterback that can move the ball and avoid turnovers, they should be competitive in most games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more sports betting information and plays, follow David on X/Twitter: &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Futureprez2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;@futureprez2024&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Jon Ossoff dodges on why he invoked Trump aide's name during Georgia campaign rally</title>
            <description>White House calls Ossoff 'feminine theater kid' after MS NOW interview</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., did not say why he invoked President &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;'s executive assistant, Natalie Harp, directly during a campaign rally, when confronted during an interview Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Obviously, that speech you gave over the weekend, lots of people have questions about it. Why did you decide to invoke Natalie Harp specifically in that speech?" MS NOW host Jen Psaki asked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The senator made the comment during a &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbLUN6K-cR0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;campaign rally in Atlanta&lt;/a&gt;, and a video of the moment went viral on social media. He said Trump wants to "travel with Natalie" rather than do the job of the presidency, with some progressives gleefully suggesting online that he was nodding to unfounded rumors that they were involved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/eric-trump-plans-sue-jen-psaki-ms-now-alleged-blatant-lies-about-him-joining-fathers-china-trip" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ERIC TRUMP PLANS TO SUE JEN PSAKI, MS NOW FOR ALLEGED 'BLATANT LIES' ABOUT HIM JOINING FATHER'S CHINA TRIP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We're in wartime. The commander-in-chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives, our naval logistics are frayed, the global energy system is in crisis, and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket, to make him feel good about himself, to reassure him that he's doing a great job, to help him while he designs his new ballroom," Ossoff responded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"And he adorns the Oval Office in gold and depicts the interior decorations on this new luxury flying palace he received from a foreign prince, when every single minute of every single day what the President of the United States should be doing is bearing his most solemn burden of care for the sailors and Marines and aviators and all service members deployed on his orders on the basis of his lies to this disaster in the Middle East," he continued.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Psaki pressed him to explain why he "specifically" mentioned Harp.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Well, I've heard this particular aide referred to as his security blanket, and I think we could say that about any number of the senior aides in the White House. They're not telling him what he needs to hear, they're telling him what he wants to hear. And the nation is at war, and we cannot afford that. We need a team in the White House. We need folks at the State Department, at the Defense Department, in the United &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Congress&lt;/a&gt;, who take their jobs seriously," Ossoff said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trumps-white-house-ballroom-foes-face-very-tough-argument-supreme-court-legal-experts-say" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM FOES FACE ‘VERY TOUGH ARGUMENT’ AT SUPREME COURT, LEGAL EXPERTS SAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ossoff added Trump was a "disgrace" during the MS NOW interview.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The senator said at the rally on Sunday, "While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/pentagon-races-buy-10x-missiles-iran-war-dwindles-arsenal-threatens-readiness-china-aggression" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;drains our munitions and oil reserves&lt;/a&gt;, the president sleeps through his meetings, he golfs, and trades stocks."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"He doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar," Ossoff said, referring to Harp.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;White House spokesman Davis Ingle hit back at the senator in a statement to Fox News Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/dem-senate-nominee-admits-takes-responsibility-after-police-report-alleges-broke-down-door-punched-man" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEM SENATE NOMINEE ADMITS 'I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY' AFTER POLICE REPORT ALLEGES HE BROKE DOWN DOOR, PUNCHED MAN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Jon Ossoff is a feminine theatre kid who voted to massively raise taxes, give illegal immigrants free taxpayer-funded healthcare, and defund federal immigration enforcement and Border Patrol. Lightweight Jon’s rhetoric is cringeworthy, but his extreme voting record is dangerous," Ingle said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-fires-back-trump-white-house-attacks-reporter-calls-beneath-office" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;The White House lashed out&lt;/a&gt; at a CNN reporter who asked Trump about Ossoff's remarks on Monday as well, calling her an embarrassment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liberals lauded Ossoff for his remarks on X, while conservatives called out the Democratic senator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Ossoff winking at the rumor that Natalie Harp is more than just Trump’s staffer. The question now is whether this will kick up a round of actual reporting by news outlets," host of "Pod Save America" and ex-Obama staffer Tommy Vietor &lt;a href="https://x.com/tvietor08/status/2089162216541200671?s=46&amp;t=9QA7_aOhzLq8ejST7bnqZA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;wrote on X&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, &lt;a href="https://x.com/realBrandonGill/status/2089524935219659125" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;wrote,&lt;/a&gt; "Natalie Harp survived bone cancer because President Trump allowed her the 'right to try.' Now she’s an extremely hardworking and trusted assistant. Any other insinuation is vile."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some others felt Ossoff had made a misstep with his alleged innuendo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the president was asked about the remarks at the White House on Monday, Trump replied that Ossoff looked like "Pee-wee Herman."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;White House director of communications &lt;a href="https://x.com/StevenCheung47/status/2089360945210335245" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;Steven Cheung said&lt;/a&gt;, "Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he's a miserable person who hates this country. It's because he's a radical, extremist Dumocrat."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Chicago Cubs favored on the run line as White Sox bullpen faces serious availability concerns</title>
            <description>Kevin Gausman takes the mound for the Cubs after the White Sox used four relievers in a walk-off loss</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;I didn't have the best day yesterday as I went 0-2 on the diamond. Neither of the games was a terrible call; they just didn't go the way that I wanted them to go. The Phillies only won by one run, when I needed them to cover the run line (in this case, I guess putting up the -220 was a better option than the -1.5 at -110). Then the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/mlb/new-york-mets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Mets&lt;/a&gt; squeaked out a victory over the Padres, winning the game 2-1, and handing me another loss. I probably should've just gone with the under, but that's easy to say now. Let's make some of that cash back in a cross-town rivalry series between the White Sox and Cubs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/mlb/chicago-white-sox" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Chicago White Sox&lt;/a&gt; are significantly better than anyone expected them to be this season. They come into today's game with a lead in the American League Central, and they are six games above .500. They can't let their foot off the gas, as they have three teams within 5.5 games of them, and there are still roughly 35 games to play. For a team that doesn't really have any superstars and doesn't have a true Ace on the roster (aside from maybe Luis Castillo, who is having a down year), this is a really impressive season for the team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The White Sox lost the opener (more on that later), and now look to even up the series. Tonight, they send out Bryan Hudson to the hill. Hudson is more of an opener than a true starter, as he has had a lot of work out of the bullpen. This is not the first time Hudson has "started" a game; this is the seventh time. However, you really should only expect the lefty to throw one inning because he has only thrown more than one complete inning in five of his 54 appearances. None of them were two full innings. The White Sox do have one of the best bullpens in baseball, but they used four guys yesterday, and three of them may not be usable today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/mlb/chicago-cubs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Chicago Cubs&lt;/a&gt; are about the exact level of successful that you would expect. They are 20 games over .500, but they are still looking up at the Milwaukee Brewers. They also can't let up on their march to the postseason, as there are plenty of teams chasing them in the Wild Card race. However, it does seem like they are more comfortable at the moment than most other teams in that race. Their biggest issue seems to be figuring out which pitchers are usable and which are not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST SPORTS NEWS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is a good problem to have - pitching depth. They didn't have that for the majority of the season, but they've acquired at least four starting pitchers this season and are hopeful that gives them enough to not only get to the postseason, but compete in it. Kevin Gausman, one of the guys they traded for, is taking the ball today. For the Cubs, he has made two starts, and they have had very different results. Both have been road outings. In the first, he went seven innings and allowed just four hits in a 6-4 win. The second one was against the Nationals, where he allowed six earned runs in 4.2 innings. White Sox hitters haven't fared very well against him, going just 7-for-41.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://link.podtrac.com/fearless_article" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STAY "FEARLESS" ON THE GO! TAKE TOMI LAHREN WITH YOU. DOWNLOAD THE TLIF PODCAST NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday's game was a good one. The Cubs started the game with back-to-back homers from Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki. That lasted until the White Sox hit a three-run shot of their own with Randal Grichuk. The Cubs took the lead again with some help from White Sox errors. Then the White Sox grabbed a late lead with a pinch-hit Andrew Benintendi homer. In the 9th, the Cubs struck again, getting help from walks and timely hitting from Nico Hoerner. In the bottom of the 10th, the White Sox, for some reason, decided it was a good idea to pitch to Crow-Armstrong with first base open. He sent the fourth pitch of the inning over the right field wall for a walk-off homer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a game the Cubs should take and not have all that many problems. I don't like the way the White Sox are set up for this game. I think that the under is a good look. Gausman is a strong pitcher, but this is his first start in Chicago, and that can be a difficult thing for a lot of arms. The wind is expected to be blowing out as well. I'll stay off the total. Instead, I'm taking the Cubs on the run line. They have the better-set-up bullpen, the better starter, and they can play both long and small ball. Give me the Cubs -1.5 at +125.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more sports betting information and plays, follow David on X/Twitter: &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Futureprez2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;@futureprez2024&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Longtime GOP aide defects to Dem rising star as Texas Senate battle for Cornyn's seat heats up</title>
            <description>Fox News poll shows Democrat James Talarico holding a slight 51%-48% edge over Ken Paxton among voters in Texas</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Following his bombshell primary defeat in May, Sen. &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/person/c/john-cornyn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;John Cornyn&lt;/a&gt;, R-Texas, is facing another blow as his longtime aide is crossing the political aisle to work for the Democrat candidate running to replace him in the upper chamber.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Former Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, backed by President &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;, is running against Democrat state Rep. James Talarico in a crucial midterm election race that will decide the future of Cornyn's seat and could determine control of the Senate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jacob Smith, who worked for Cornyn for five years as a deputy legislative director and policy advisor, signed up to work on the Senate campaign for Talarico. The news was first reported by NOTUS and confirmed by Fox News Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-gop-divisions-shape-texas-senate-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT OUR LATEST FOX NEWS POLL IN THE TEXAS SENATE SHOWDOWN REVEALS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cornyn lost his re-election bid in an expensive and bitter primary runoff against Paxton earlier this year. The clash between the two Texas titans shaped up as a fight between the Republican establishment versus Trump's MAGA and America First supporters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The general election face-off in red-leaning Texas between Talarico &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/person/p/ken-paxton" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;and Paxton&lt;/a&gt; is one of roughly a dozen that will likely decide if Republicans hold the Senate majority or if Democrats win back control of the chamber.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Instead of Smith opting to join the replacement Republican for Cornyn, he defected to back the Democrat running for the seat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I’ve worked for Republicans like Senator Cornyn my entire career, but this year I’m proud to be joining James Talarico’s campaign," Smith wrote in a statement. "Instead of playing partisan politics, Talarico speaks to the needs of everyday people who day in and day out work too hard for too little."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Democrats haven't won a Senate election &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southwest/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;in Texas&lt;/a&gt; in nearly four decades, but they view Paxton as vulnerable because of the slew of scandals and legal problems that have battered him over the past decade. And Paxton is dealing with a messy divorce, with his wife citing "biblical grounds" based on "recent discoveries" in filing last year to end their marriage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-power-rankings-democrats-turn-left-black-voters-tap-brakes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE MIDTERM RACES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And Smith took aim at Paxton in his decision to bolster Talarico's campaign, charging that the former AG "is the most corrupt, self-dealing politician in Texas who would sell their futures to the highest contributor just to hold onto power."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fox News Digital reached out to the Paxton campaign for comment, but didn't receive a response at time of publication.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cornyn has repeatedly noted since &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/maga-triumph-trump-ally-ken-paxton-defeats-john-cornyn-bitter-texas-gop-primary-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;his runoff defeat&lt;/a&gt; that he would support the party's nominee, saying, "I've always supported the Republican ticket, and I intend to do so again in this general election."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cross-party switch by Smith is considered rare, and his addition to Talarico's team may potentially help the Democratic nominee as he reaches out to Republicans who may not be thrilled with Paxton as their party's nominee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The most recent Fox News poll in the Texas Senate showdown, conducted late last month, indicated Talarico holding a slight 51%-48% edge over Paxton among registered voters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The survey suggested that Paxton had yet to fully unite Republicans. While virtually all Democrats supported Talarico (98%), fewer Republicans were unified behind Paxton (89%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the latest &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-power-rankings-democrats-turn-left-black-voters-tap-brakes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Fox News Power Rankings&lt;/a&gt;, released on Tuesday, shifted the Senate race in Texas from Lean Republican to toss-up.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Antisemitism fight explodes in Florida as voters head to the polls: 'Political pogrom'</title>
            <description>Rep Randy Fine's GOP opponent claimed Jews had financial control of the US</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A Republican primary race in &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southeast/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Florida has&lt;/a&gt; exploded over accusations of antisemitism as one far-right candidate espouses openly anti-Jewish tropes and references to Adolf Hitler.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., the lone Jewish Republican in Florida's congressional delegation, is being targeted for his religion by a long-shot rival challenging him in the GOP primary for the Sunshine State's 6th Congressional District.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This is an open Nazi who transported himself from Las Vegas to Florida in order to target me. This isn't an organic campaign. It's an organized pogrom against the Jews. It's a political pogrom," Fine told Fox News Digital of Dan Bilzerian's campaign on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/tlaib-under-fire-working-unseat-two-jewish-house-democrats-florida-no-coincidence" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TLAIB UNDER FIRE FOR WORKING TO UNSEAT TWO JEWISH HOUSE DEMOCRATS IN FLORIDA: 'NO COINCIDENCE'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It comes as voters across Florida vote in &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/politics/elections/state-and-local-primaries" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;primary elections&lt;/a&gt; that will set up key matchups between Democrats and Republicans ahead of the November midterms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fine, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, has attracted multiple GOP challengers in his fight for his first full term in the House. But none have generated backlash like Bilzerian.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"District 6 understands the Jewish problem," he captioned one post on X that appeared to show a campaign gathering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, he posted what appeared to be an AI-generated video to X that alluded to Hitler in a positive manner while depicting Fine with horns growing out of his head, another antisemitic trope that was infamously used in Nazi Germany to spur hatred of Jews.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/dem-candidates-zionist-castration-rant-sparks-firestorm-party-leaders-rewrite-narrative-target-gop" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEM CANDIDATE’S ZIONIST CASTRATION RANT SPARKS FIRESTORM AS PARTY LEADERS REWRITE NARRATIVE TO TARGET GOP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., told Fox News Digital in response on Tuesday, "Dan Bilzerian is running for Congress on a Nazi platform. That’s not hyperbole. His own campaign ad celebrates Hitler, draws horns on Jews, and calls a sitting Jewish Member of Congress a problem to be solved. That’s absolutely insane, disgusting, and the clearest, textbook version of antisemitism."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I don’t agree with Randy Fine on much, but that’s exactly the point. When someone runs for the United States Congress on Jew-hatred, every one of us, Democrat and Republican, has an obligation to say so out loud, no matter who’s on the other end of it," Gottheimer said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fine told Fox News Digital of Bilzerian's campaign, "I'll be honest, never in my wildest nightmares did I think I would start the week with a swastika painted on one of my yard signs and end the week with a video from a Republican congressional candidate with horns coming out of my head."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He also said, "They've spent, we believe, $6 or $7 million. And I think there's a much bigger story that needs to be explored when this is all over about the influence of direct foreign investments in political campaigns. They've spent millions of dollars in the race of unreported money."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/former-bernie-sanders-official-accuses-senator-pushing-most-antisemitic-candidates-generation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FORMER BERNIE SANDERS OFFICIAL ACCUSES SENATOR OF PUSHING MOST ANTISEMITIC CANDIDATES 'IN A GENERATION'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no evidence as of now that foreign investors funded Bilzerian's campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the degree of antisemitism has drawn condemnation from both House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The vile attack ads against &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rep-randy-fine-joins-house-freedom-caucus-strongest-group-conservative-patriots-congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Congressman Randy Fine&lt;/a&gt; in Florida's 6th District are disgusting and should be condemned by all political leaders on the Right and Left," Johnson said in a statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeffries said, "The hateful campaign being run by Daniel Bilzerian in Florida is blatantly antisemitic and shocks the conscience. People of goodwill, regardless of political affiliation, must reject his vile attacks on the Jewish community."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gottheimer was also part of a group of Jewish House Democrats who said that while they do not agree with Fine's positions, Bilzerian's "grotesque" video "has no place in America."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fine is widely expected to win his primary on Tuesday and is favored to win his seat in November.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>South Korean president jumps to invest in military after Trump cuts joint exercises</title>
            <description>Lee Jae Myung noted the nuclear-powered submarine program as Trump praised his 'very good relationship' with Kim Jong Un</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/south-korea" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;South Korean&lt;/a&gt; President Lee Jae Myung urged his nation to boost its independent military capabilities Tuesday after President Donald Trump ordered a cut to join U.S.-South Korean military exercises.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lee made the statement during a meeting with his cabinet on Tuesday, a day after the annual joint &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/world/north-korea-launches-ballistic-missile-us-south-korea-prepare-military-drills" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Ulchi Freedom Shield&lt;/a&gt; exercises began. Trump announced on social media this weekend that he ordered War Secretary &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/pete-hegseth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Pete Hegseth&lt;/a&gt; to "substantially reduce" U.S. involvement in the drills.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump's statement expressed concern that the drills presented an overly hostile tone toward North Korea, whose leader, Kim Jong Un, Trump spoke of with warm words.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-orders-major-cut-us-south-korea-drills-north-korea-ramps-up-missile-tests" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP ORDERS MAJOR CUT TO US-SOUTH KOREA DRILLS AS NORTH KOREA RAMPS UP MISSILE TESTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lee emphasized in his cabinet meeting that Ulchi Freedom Shield is a purely defensive exercise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"A strong alliance makes the foundation of security stronger, and strengthening our own capabilities increases our value and necessity as an ally," Lee said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He stated that South Korea's top priority is maintaining peace with North Korea, but said the country must be prepared for a "worst-case scenario."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lee specifically mentioned boosting South Korea's &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/politics/foreign-policy/nuclear-proliferation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nuclear-powered submarine&lt;/a&gt; program, among others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/world/north-korea-launches-ballistic-missile-us-south-korea-prepare-military-drills" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NORTH KOREA LAUNCHES ANOTHER BALLISTIC MISSILE AS US, SOUTH KOREA PREPARE FOR MILITARY DRILLS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump's statement on Monday, posted to Truth Social, was openly critical of Lee's administration with respect to North Korea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea," Trump wrote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lee's administration noted the kind words for North Korea in his statement on Tuesday, with Lee's national security advisor, Wi Sung-lac, remarking that he hopes Trump's relationship with Kim could lead to lasting change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/world/iran-deal-clock-hits-zero-trump-demands-white-flag-new-pressure-campaign-looming" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAN DEAL CLOCK HITS ZERO AS TRUMP DEMANDS ‘WHITE FLAG’ WITH NEW PRESSURE CAMPAIGN LOOMING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We hope the friendly relationship between the U.S. and North Korean leaders will lead to meaningful North Korea-U.S. dialogue," Wi said at a Tuesday briefing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trump also took the opportunity to highlight Lee's apparent refusal to assist the U.S. in the conflict with Iran.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, ‘No thanks!’" Trump wrote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Reuters contributed to this report.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong shows off his humility after first career walk-off homer against White Sox</title>
            <description>PCA's 10th-inning blast was his first career walk-off homer and made him the first Cub with back-to-back 30-30 seasons</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Pete Crow-Armstrong is among the flashiest players in all of &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/mlb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Major League Baseball&lt;/a&gt;. From his wildly confident personality to wearing every single emotion on his sleeve to never passing on an opportunity to celebrate on the field, humble wouldn't necessarily be the first word fans would use to describe the Chicago Cubs superstar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There appear to be two different versions of Crow-Armstrong, however. There is the PCA in between the white lines, the one &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/pete-crow-armstrong-gets-ugly-curse-filled-screaming-match-female-white-sox-fan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;who yelled obscenities&lt;/a&gt; at a &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/sports/mlb/chicago-white-sox" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Chicago White Sox&lt;/a&gt; fan in May, who also stops to flex while rounding third base after launching a home run. Then there is the PCA outside the white lines, who is still as confident as they come, but a team-first guy with a noticeably reserved demeanor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both versions of Crow-Armstrong were on full display during the Cubs' extra-innings win over the White Sox on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PCA immediately set off fireworks at Wrigley Field on Monday night by leading off the bottom of the first frame with a first-pitch homer off the scoreboard in right field. It turned out to be a preview of what was to come in the bottom of the 10th inning when he stepped to the dish with a chance to win the contest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While leading off the inning again and sitting on a 2-1 count, PCA got a hanging slider he was looking for and set things off in Wrigleyville yet again. He launched his bat into the air towards the Cubs' dugout, soaked in the moment while rounding the bases, and tossed his helmet onto the field while trotting towards home plate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OUTKICK IS NOW ON THE FOX APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was a totally normal, expected reaction from the face of the franchise after winning a game in that fashion against the crosstown rivals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the emotions settled and some of the adrenaline wore off, the scene inside the Cubs' locker room wasn't necessarily what some baseball fans would come to expect out of PCA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When asked about the walk-off moment and all that came with it, Crow-Armstrong mentioned that it was fun to be a part of, but quickly praised his team's effort while recognizing that without them, he wouldn't have had the opportunity at the dish to begin with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"That was my first career walk-off homer, so that's fun to note, but if Nico (Hoerner) doesn't tie it up for us, I don't get that chance," &lt;a href="https://x.com/WatchMarquee/status/2089574346025046111?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Crow-Armstrong explained&lt;/a&gt; inside the locker room after the 7-5 victory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I feel like I've probably said this before after we've had some crazier wins, it's just super fun to appreciate all the little stuff that went right. Happer [Ian Happ] busting tail down the line, beating out a double play ball...It's just stuff like that where I can look back on it and think, 'That's why I was up in the bottom of the 10th inning.' I love these games, because that's not always going to happen, but when it does, it's nice to appreciate the stuff that went right."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/sports/cardinals-rookie-makes-mlb-history-hitting-home-run-first-three-career-plate-appearances" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CARDINALS ROOKIE MAKES MLB HISTORY BY HITTING A HOME RUN IN EACH OF HIS FIRST THREE CAREER PLATE APPEARANCES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST SPORTS NEWS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To recognize his walk-off home run to give the Cubs their 73rd win of the season counted just the same as the 72 before it – and that his teammates played their roles prior to his opportunity at the plate – shows that humble side of PCA that doesn't create the headlines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With his two home runs against the White Sox, Crow-Armstrong became the first Cub ever to post back-to-back seasons with at least 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

Prosecutors concluded their case Monday morning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The jury seated to hear the case consists of 12 women and six men, though six of those people are alternates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the trial on Tuesday, Susan Clancy, Lindsay's mother-in-law, told jurors she was concerned about her mental health during the holiday season in 2022, but said she was a caring mother.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/postpartum-mom-lindsay-clancy-trial-murder-brings-court-halt-sudden-breakdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;POSTPARTUM MOM LINDSAY CLANCY ON TRIAL FOR MURDER BRINGS COURT TO A HALT WITH SUDDEN BREAKDOWN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lindsay Clancy does not contest that she killed the children.

            <title>White House tears into Ossoff with brutal takedown after jab at key Trump aide: ‘Lightweight loser’</title>
            <description>Trump officials and GOP lawmakers demand an apology after the Georgia senator's remarks about the bone cancer survivor</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is facing backlash from White House officials and conservatives after taking a personal shot at Trump aide Natalie Harp at a campaign rally, referring to her only by her first name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump's team. Jon Ossoff is a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama. Nobody gives a s--- what this lightweight loser says," said White House spokesperson Davis Ingle to Fox News Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ossoff took the jab at Harp during a re-election campaign rally in Atlanta, where he slammed President Donald Trump’s handling of the Iran war and accused the president of neglecting his duties to focus on construction of the White House ballroom and "travel with Natalie," whom he did not identify by last name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/dem-senator-swipes-credit-bill-he-opposed-amid-heated-reelection-bid" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEM SENATOR SWIPES CREDIT FOR BILL HE OPPOSED AMID HEATED RE-ELECTION BID: 'DISTURBING PATTERN'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"He doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar," Ossoff said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His jab sparked backlash from conservatives and Trump officials, who defended the 35-year-old aide as simply doing her job, called Ossoff’s attack sexist and demanded an apology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I don’t think any woman would want to travel with Ossoff. Natalie is smart, professional and successful. Ossoff has to make a sexist remark," wrote communications specialist and political commentator Mercedes Schlapp.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Jon J------ has to be the biggest c--- loser in politics. Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he's a miserable person who hates this country. It's because he's a radical, extremist Dumocrat," said &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/politics/executive/white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;White House&lt;/a&gt; communication director &lt;a href="https://x.com/StevenCheung47/status/2089360945210335245" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Steven Cheung&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-early-look-georgia-senate-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOX NEWS POLL: AN EARLY LOOK AT THE GEORGIA SENATE RACE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"@SenOssoff comments regarding Natalie Harp were both sexists and misogynistic. John, attractive women can be qualified, hard workers, and in positions of power. Your gross implication otherwise only highlights your own insecurity and guilty conscience. I feel bad for your staff if this is what you think of women," wrote Republican Florida Rep. &lt;a href="https://x.com/RepLuna/status/2089537539560374391" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Anna Paulina Luna&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Natalie Harp is an incredibly hardworking, talented, principled, and loyal member of the Trump Admin who passionately wants to help our nation thrive. Every day, she brings drive and focus to her work serving our country. She’s truly a phenomenal member of POTUS’ team," said EPA Administrator &lt;a href="https://x.com/LeeMZeldin/status/2089516459454054743" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Lee Zeldin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Natalie Harp survived bone cancer because President Trump allowed her the ‘right to try.’ Now she’s an extremely hardworking and trusted assistant. Any other insinuation is vile," wrote Rep. &lt;a href="https://x.com/realBrandonGill/status/2089524935219659125" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Brandon Gill&lt;/a&gt;, R-Texas. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Natalie Harp is a bone cancer survivor who only lived because Trump greenlit the right to try an experimental treatment when you were terminal. I met her back then. She went to work for him after recovery," said conservative commentator Robby Starbuck.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He added, "@Ossoff is a vile coward for insinuating they’re having an affair. He should apologize to Natalie for doing this. I don’t think any of us would want our daughters talked about like this."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trumps-behind-the-scenes-enforcer-pulls-back-curtain-rare-public-move" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP’S BEHIND-THE-SCENES ENFORCER PULLS BACK THE CURTAIN IN RARE PUBLIC MOVE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Harp rose to prominence in 2019 after crediting Trump’s &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/health/cancer-treatment-delays-surge-us-doctor-warns-system-needs-fixing-immediately" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Right to Try Act&lt;/a&gt; with helping her access experimental cancer treatment. She later joined Trump’s 2020 campaign before being tapped as &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-announces-aide-step-white-house-counsel-post" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;special assistant to the president&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She has earned the nickname the "human printer" in Trump's orbit, updating the president with printouts of news articles, emails, social-media posts and other material for him to read.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ossoff sought to clarify his remarks Monday. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"[Trump] retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself, to reassure him that he’s doing a great job," said Ossoff on "The Briefing with Jen Psaki."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He added, "I’ve heard this particular aide referred to as his security blanket. And I think we could say that about any number of the senior aides in the White House. They’re not telling him what he needs to hear. They’re telling him what he wants to hear."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Fox News Digital&lt;/a&gt; reached out to Harp and Ossoff for comment.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

"No one owns businesses in my family; my entire family came here with the idea that the American dream was just getting a job and making it work, so shifting that mindset was difficult but important. Navigating those treacherous waters allowed me to provide for my family and work on my terms."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Minnesota state government, led by Gov. &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/tim-walz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Tim Walz&lt;/a&gt; since 2019, has been under the microscope over the past year as systemic fraud, largely involving the local Somali community, that prosecutors say could total more than $9 billion has been exposed throughout various departments and programs in the state.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Critics have argued that the fraud, which was an open secret for years, was aided by the fear of publicly calling it out over fears of being labeled as "racist," Fox News Digital &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/how-fears-of-being-labeled-racist-helped-provide-cover-for-the-exploding-minnesota-fraud-scandal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;reported last year.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Walz was ultimately forced to drop his bid for re-election amid the fallout.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fox News Digital reached out to Walz's office for comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a statement to Fox News Digital, a Minnesota DHS spokesperson said the Outstanding Refugee Awards ended in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Salman Elmi’s alleged actions are disturbing and do not reflect the goal of the Outstanding Refugee Awards," the spokesperson said. "They also do not represent Minnesota’s refugee community. We are surrounded by neighbors, coworkers, employees and friends with powerful stories of resilience in the face of difficult circumstances, who are showing leadership in small as well as large ways to improve their communities. The Outstanding Refugee Awards were a way to recognize some of the individuals who make Minnesota better for all of us."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The spokesperson added that recipients received a certificate and a plaque but no monetary award.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The value came from the opportunity to recognize the courage, resilience and entrepreneurship of refugees and their children, and to recognize their contributions to the state," the spokesperson said. "Refugees and immigrants offer skills to a needed workforce, provide entrepreneurial innovation and expand worldwide networks – all of which benefit Minnesota."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Trump’s affordability plan faces conservative pushback as pocketbook issues loom over midterms</title>
            <description>Advancing American Freedom's 10-point affordability plan calls for shifting tariff authority back to Congress</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FIRST ON FOX&lt;/strong&gt;: As Americans grapple with soaring housing, food and energy costs, both parties are racing to convince voters they have the answer to the affordability crunch ahead of the high-stakes midterm elections.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A new report from the conservative group founded by former Vice President &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/mike-pence" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Mike Pence&lt;/a&gt; lays out 10 proposals aimed at lowering costs by cutting red tape and expanding production across the economy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Yes, there's an unaffordability crisis and it's the government's fault," Richard Stern, vice president of the Plymouth Institute for Free Enterprise at Advancing American Freedom (AAF), told Fox News Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That argument is at the heart of the report, "10 Ways to Improve Affordability Now Across 10 Levels of the Economy," which calls affordability the "No. 1 issue facing the American people" and targets costs associated with housing, energy and business, among others.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/think-your-state-expensive-new-data-reveals-where-americans-face-highest-cost-of-living" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THINK YOUR STATE IS EXPENSIVE? NEW DATA REVEALS WHERE AMERICANS FACE THE HIGHEST COST OF LIVING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reports's proposals range from easing zoning restrictions and &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trumps-ambitious-energy-bet-winning-hand-world-burns-more-oil-gas-than-ever" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;expanding oil and gas access&lt;/a&gt; to overhauling Social Security and SNAP eligibility, echoing parts of President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the conservative blueprint breaks with Trump on two key pocketbook issues: tariffs and credit card interest rates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On trade, the report argues Trump’s sweeping tariffs have come at a cost to American consumers and the broader economy by raising prices, straining U.S. alliances and &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-bet-tariffs-would-bring-back-american-factory-jobs-new-report-says-didnt-work" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;resulting in nearly 900,000 fewer jobs than expected&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The authors at AAF call for shifting more tariff authority back to Congress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-expanded-tariff-playbook-powerful-trade-weapon-no-president-used" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP JUST EXPANDED HIS TARIFF PLAYBOOK WITH A POWERFUL TRADE WEAPON NO PRESIDENT HAS EVER USED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If nothing else, &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Trump's tariffs&lt;/a&gt; proved to be a windfall for Washington.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In January alone, duties totaled $30.4 billion, that's up about 242% from $8.9 billion a year earlier, according to Treasury data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The report also opposes Trump’s proposed 10% cap on credit card interest rates, warning it could make lending to roughly 60% of Americans unprofitable. Stern framed the broader affordability debate as a question of whether Americans can still build a better future for their families as many see hopes of living the American dream slipping from their fingers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Housing and energy, he said, are two areas where rising costs have put "a sharper edge on this question of affordability." Stern blamed zoning restrictions for pushing families farther from jobs and making homeownership harder for younger Americans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those costs can be substantial. The National Association of Home Builders estimates &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/surprising-hidden-cost-quietly-adding-nearly-132k-new-home-prices-revealed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;government regulations account for about 26% of the price&lt;/a&gt; of a new single-family home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The report recommends limiting local zoning restrictions, streamlining approval for projects that meet existing rules and tying roughly $50 billion in annual federal housing aid to zoning reform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/surprising-hidden-cost-quietly-adding-nearly-132k-new-home-prices-revealed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE SURPRISING HIDDEN COST QUIETLY ADDING NEARLY $132K TO NEW HOME PRICES REVEALED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On energy, the proposal calls for more oil and gas leasing and rejecting state fracking bans. Stern argued greater domestic production could lower costs throughout the economy because energy touches "every good we move, every service provided."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stern warned that economic frustration can turn Americans against one another, toward "viewing each other as the enemy, and that’s what socialism is."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I hope that people can take away from this, that it's not businesses that are the problem," he said. "It's not entrepreneurs. It's not other Americans. It's government."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Kushner touts unprecedented Iran contacts as Tehran denies Trump backchannel</title>
            <description>Trump's senior advisor confirmed the backchannel after meetings across the Middle East on Gaza and Iran's nuclear program</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Senior Trump advisor Jared Kushner confirmed that communications between the U.S. and &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/world/conflicts/iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Iran&lt;/a&gt; are "more robust" than ever, despite Iran's denial of a backchannel between President Donald Trump and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kushner made the statement in an interview with Fox News' Trey Yingst on Monday after a series of meetings across the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/middle-east" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Middle East&lt;/a&gt; about the future of Gaza and Iran. Kushner emphasized that Trump remains committed to making a deal, but there remain severe roadblocks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kushner emphasized that Iran needs to get serious about making a deal, saying Iranian officials have so far been trying to "trick" the U.S. with false concessions and trying to "hide certain cards."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It remains unclear who exactly the U.S. is communicating with through its so-called &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/world/who-ahmad-vahidi-irans-new-irgc-chief-tied-global-attacks-death-america-ideology" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;backchannel with the IRGC&lt;/a&gt;. The IRGC has been the most radical faction within Tehran's government, frequently sabotaging past negotiations with attacks on &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trade-vessel-struck-projectile-strait-hormuz-amid-us-iran-talks" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;vessels in the Strait of Hormuz&lt;/a&gt; and other efforts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/iran-requests-talks-us-white-house-warns-violence-will-be-met-with-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAN REQUESTS TALKS WITH US AS WHITE HOUSE WARNS 'VIOLENCE WILL BE MET WITH VIOLENCE'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Previous negotiations have been with members of the Iranian civilian government, such as Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and representatives of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, but reports from within Iran suggest the IRGC holds more influence in the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Secretary of State &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/marco-rubio" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Marco Rubio&lt;/a&gt; alluded to that earlier this year when he told reporters at the White House that Iran's negotiators often don't know what they are allowed to concede.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"An offer will be made, and then it takes five or six days to get a response because you have to get it through the whole system. They have to find the supreme leader wherever he hides. They have to get him to sign off. And that's their system," Rubio said in May.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-iran-will-pay-what-it-takes-end-war-remains-unclear" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP SAYS IRAN WILL PAY — WHAT IT TAKES TO END THE WAR REMAINS UNCLEAR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kushner said that Trump is open to making an &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/world/iranians-speak-possible-trump-regime-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;economic deal with Iran&lt;/a&gt; that will allow the country to thrive, but first the nation must give up its efforts to build a nuclear weapon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"They have to want to be a real country," Kushner said. "They can be one of the wealthiest countries in the world if they choose to pursue it. They have incredible people, incredible history, so they have so much potential."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kushner said Iran has to want to "pursue that potential instead of... spreading revolution and causing instability throughout the region and the world."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of Tuesday, a deal seems further away than ever, however, with the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-iran-deal-largely-negotiated-84-day-war-nears-possible-end" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Memorandum of Understanding&lt;/a&gt; between the U.S. and Iran having expired on Monday. Iran is continuing to target vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian officials are even making threats against Trump's life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-calls-arab-nations-sign-abraham-accords" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP CALLS ON ARAB NATIONS TO SIGN ABRAHAM ACCORDS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think, as we said, we continue to have communications, and when the deal is ready, the deal will be ready. Deals are hard. I mean, it's funny, President Trump is always aiming for the impossible deals," Kushner said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One possibility for enacting lasting change in the region would be to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/trump-calls-arab-nations-sign-abraham-accords" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;expand the Abraham Accords&lt;/a&gt;, which Kushner said the administration is still focused on accomplishing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We have a very good active conversations going with countries, some obvious, some not obvious. And I think once we get this Gaza situation moving forward, I think that will hopefully de-escalate the tensions here," Kushner said, adding that more concrete talks may have to wait until after the upcoming Israeli elections.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

We need you — me and John Gotti," Gravano recalled being told by Gotti associate Angelo Ruggiero.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I said, 'To do what?'" he recounted on the &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25cALaGSox4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;"Hang Out With Sean Hannity"&lt;/a&gt; podcast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/true-crime/sammy-the-bull-reveals-why-his-love-john-gotti-turned-prison-hate" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAMMY 'THE BULL' REVEALS WHY HIS LOVE FOR JOHN GOTTI TURNED INTO PRISON HATE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We're gonna kill him."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The target was Paul Castellano, then-boss of the Gambino crime family, one of the most powerful figures in &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/crime/organized-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;organized crime&lt;/a&gt; — making the request anything but an ordinary mob "favor."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You're gonna kill the boss of bosses?" Gravano recalled asking, prompting Ruggiero to respond, "Yes, and we need your help."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The gravity of the request wasn't lost on him, he told host Sean Hannity. A hit on a boss could carry serious — even deadly — consequences for everyone involved. Gravano recalled pressing the issue and asking where Gotti was himself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/john-gotti-pal-stashed-10m-kids-toychest" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JOHN GOTTI PAL: I STASHED $10M IN MY KID'S TOYCHEST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I told him, 'Angelo, first of all, where's John Gotti? You're talking to me. Where is he?'"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The back-and-forth between the two men continued, with Ruggiero insisting that Gotti "had something to do."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"[I said], 'He had something more important than asking me to kill the boss of bosses or help you kill the boss of bosses? I don't know what's more important than that,'" Gravano recounted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This is a big deal," he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Castellano and his new underboss, &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/john-gotti-pal-stashed-10m-kids-toychest" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Thomas Bilotti&lt;/a&gt;, were ultimately murdered outside a &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;New York City&lt;/a&gt; steakhouse in 1985. Gotti was the mastermind behind the incident and would soon be convicted for ordering the crime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gravano's sit-down conversation with Hannity went beyond the incident, into his time with the mob, his involvement in &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/terror/assassinations-murders" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;nearly 20 murders&lt;/a&gt; and much more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To catch Gravano's full appearance on Hannity's podcast, look for the latest episode on iHeart, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other major podcast platforms.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Family seeks $105 million from New York City after teen’s fatal Central Park carriage ride</title>
            <description>Romanch Mahajan's family alleges stray voltage from Con Edison infrastructure may have spooked the horse that bolted</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The family of an 18-year-old tourist who died after a horse bolted during a carriage ride in Central Park is seeking $105 million from &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;New York City&lt;/a&gt;, alleging that stray electrical voltage may have caused the animal to panic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Romanch Mahajan, who was visiting New York from India with his family, spending the day snapping photos around Manhattan, suffered fatal head injuries &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/man-killed-horse-drawn-carriage-bolts-flips-near-popular-new-york-city-tourist-destination" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;during the June 17 incident&lt;/a&gt; near Cherry Hill in Central Park. His family says the unsecured carriage horse, Sampson, suddenly took off while the driver stopped to take their picture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This was an avoidable accident," Sagar Chadha of Liakas Law, counsel for the Mahajan family, wrote in a statement. "The allegations set forth in the Notice of Claim describe a preventable tragedy that followed years of warnings, prior incidents and failures to implement basic safeguards."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"An 18-year-old young man came to New York City with his family and never made it back home," the statement continued. "His family deserves answers, accountability and meaningful change so that no other family experiences what they have endured."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/man-killed-horse-drawn-carriage-bolts-flips-near-popular-new-york-city-tourist-destination" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MAN KILLED AFTER HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE BOLTS AND FLIPS NEAR POPULAR NEW YORK CITY TOURIST DESTINATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The tragedy came just over two weeks after New York City horse-drawn carriages would have disappeared under an earlier proposed ban that failed last year. That bill, introduced in 2024, would have prohibited horse-drawn cab operations beginning June 1, 2026, but it was defeated by the City Council’s Health Committee in November 2025.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If the city had passed the law last year, our son would still be alive today," Deepak Mahajan said in a recorded video statement that played at a July 17 New York City Council hearing, as he and Romanch's mother wept. "The only measure that can prevent another death is a full and complete act.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Let his death not be in vain."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The effort was revived this year just days before Mahajan’s death: Council Member Christopher Marte introduced a new version of the ban June 11 — six days before the June 17 accident — that would phase out horse-drawn cabs by June 1, 2028. That bill is now being renamed "Romanch’s Law," and has the backing of New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/eagles-fan-18-dies-after-fall-from-light-pole-during-celebration" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EAGLES FAN, 18, DIES AFTER FALL FROM LIGHT POLE DURING CELEBRATION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"His death was heartbreaking, and it was preventable," Menin wrote in a statement to support and rename the bill. "That tragedy is why I have decided to support Romanch’s Law, legislation that would begin the transition away from horse-drawn carriages as a tourist attraction in Central Park — for the safety of New Yorkers, visitors from around the world, and the horses themselves."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The family alleges in four notices of claim – documents that are generally required before someone can sue New York City – that "stray voltage and/or contact voltage" in the area "caused, precipitated, contributed to and/or was a substantial factor" in causing the horse to be "shocked, stimulated, startled, agitated, frightened and/or spooked, and to bolt and run away."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The filings filed Friday name the city, Con Edison and several municipal agencies, including the departments of Parks and Recreation, Transportation, Health and Mental Hygiene, and Consumer and Worker Protection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/carnival-ride-passengers-left-dangling-in-carriage-after-malfunction-at-high-school-event-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CARNIVAL RIDE PASSENGERS LEFT DANGLING IN CARRIAGE AFTER MALFUNCTION AT HIGH SCHOOL EVENT: VIDEO&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mahajan’s father has said the family was inside the carriage, posing for a photo with the driver, when the horse abruptly bolted. As the carriage sped through the park, Romanch’s mother, Priya, fell out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Romanch then jumped from the moving carriage in an attempt to help her, according to his father. The teenager struck his head on the pavement and was later pronounced dead at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other members of the family suffered minor injuries, with the four notices of claim totaling $105 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/fatal-nyc-helicopter-crash-prompts-gop-lawmaker-call-ending-popular-tourist-flights" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FATAL NYC HELICOPTER CRASH PROMPTS GOP LAWMAKER TO CALL FOR ENDING POPULAR TOURIST FLIGHTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The family’s claims add a new dimension to the investigation by focusing on the possibility that electrical voltage in the park contributed to the horse’s behavior.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Con Edison acknowledged that low levels of stray voltage were detected in the area on July 16 and July 23, weeks after the fatal incident, according to the filings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"These allegations demand a complete and transparent investigation," Chadha said. "The family intends to determine not only why an occupied carriage was allegedly left unsecured, but whether dangerous electrical conditions existed in the very area where this horse suddenly became spooked and whether anyone knew or should have known about those conditions before Romanch was killed."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Jill Wagner reveals the month-long boot camp 'Lioness' cast endures for Taylor Sheridan's show</title>
            <description>The actress says former SEALs, Green Berets, and Delta Force operators train the cast on weapons handling daily</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The cast of "Lioness" undergoes significant training for the hit Paramount+ series.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The epic CIA/military drama series created by Taylor Sheridan is currently airing season three. The first three episodes of the new season are out, and as expected, it's awesome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best part of "Lioness" is that it has the best action scenes &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/entertainment/tv" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;on TV&lt;/a&gt;, and there's no comparable rival. Season two had some absurdly neat shootouts. The season three premiere took things to new levels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/taylor-sheridan-lioness-keeps-fans-hooked-latest-episode-raises-stakes-big-way" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TAYLOR SHERIDAN'S 'LIONESS' KEEPS FANS HOOKED AS LATEST EPISODE RAISES THE STAKES IN A BIG WAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How much training is required of the cast to make the shootouts feel real?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A lot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;"Lioness" actress explains intense training required for the show.&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Lioness" star Jill Wagner, who plays Bobby on the series, recently appeared on "The Gold Shields Show" to reveal the intense boot camp the cast goes through to make sure the movements and weapons handling is as accurate as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We train for a month prior. He puts you through basically a boot camp and we have our whether it be a SEAL or Green Beret or Delta Guy, whatever, they come out and they help us and they really work with us. And these are people that are, I mean, I look at these guys, I'm like, 'You guys are extremely patient people.' Because we are actors. We are not operators like we are trying our best to play but I think we are all very aware that we, you know, we are not the real deal but in order to portray it, like you you have to go through, for us, we have to go through a month if not more training," Wagner explained on the podcast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/laysla-de-oliveira-teases-lioness-season-3-debut-behind-scenes-photos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LAYSLA DE OLIVEIRA TEASES ‘LIONESS’ SEASON 3 DEBUT WITH BEHIND-THE-SCENES PHOTOS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The talented actress continued, "And that's just for the technical side of things. That's just for the gun side of things. And then as you know, I'm sure you guys know, it's a perishable skill. So if you're not shooting every day, if you're not doing something, you can forget and you can pick up bad habits. So, our technical advisors, there was at least one on set at all times, if not two, and we would go over all of our choreography and, you know, wear those guys out with questions. But they were always great, and I and I think that was very important with Taylor. You know, a lot of these shows don't have technical advisors there behind the camera every single day watching every move that all of us do."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OUTKICK IS NOW ON THE FOX APP: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Now, and I'm sure now that I say that, I'm sure that I'm going to do something dumb in the next episode and everybody's going to be like, 'Where was the technical advice for that day?" Look, I get it all the time, but yeah, it's really important to I know all of our actors that we at least look the part as much as we can," Wagner further commented.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The "Lioness" actress also revealed she underwent a physical transformation to look the part of an elite operator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can watch Wagner's full comments in the video below starting around 8:22, and let me know your thoughts at &lt;strong&gt;David.Hookstead@outkick.com&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/new-lioness-season-3-trailer-signals-taylor-sheridan-taking-paramount-series-new-heights" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NEW LIONESS SEASON 3 TRAILER SIGNALS TAYLOR SHERIDAN IS TAKING THE PARAMOUNT+ SERIES TO NEW HEIGHTS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The effort and training the "Lioness" cast puts in certainly doesn't go unnoticed. While my CQB knowledge is limited (I have never done CQB at a high level and would get melted by any well-trained guy in a heartbeat), I know enough to understand the show makes it feel as real as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After all, it's a TV show. Expecting it to be as accurate as SEAL Team 6 or Delta Force hitting a target is utterly ridiculous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All you can hope is for the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/taylor-sheridan-lioness-keeps-fans-hooked-latest-episode-raises-stakes-big-way" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;action sequences&lt;/a&gt; to be as believable as possible, and "Lioness" easily accomplishes that goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST SPORTS NEWS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's another &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/outkick-culture/taylor-sheridan-doesnt-care-critics-admits-rage-baiting-purpose" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;masterclass from Sheridan&lt;/a&gt; and everyone involved. Check out the season three premiere if you want an outstanding example.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What do you think about "Lioness"?

            <title>FIRST ON FOX: Man found dead on street triggers ICE action after shocking hit-and-run</title>
            <description>Honduran national Mauricio Josue Alberto Sarmiento was released into the US as a minor under the Biden administration</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FIRST ON FOX:&lt;/strong&gt; U.S. &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/immigration" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Immigration and Customs Enforcement&lt;/a&gt; has lodged a detainer against an illegal immigrant accused of a hit-and-run that left a North Carolina father dead in the street.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fox News Digital learned that ICE filed a detainer request for 21-year-old Honduran illegal immigrant Mauricio Josue Alberto Sarmiento, who is charged with hit-and-run resulting in death in Sylva, &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southeast/north-carolina" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;North Carolina&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Sylva Police Department said Sarmiento struck 51-year-old James Robert Bagley III with his car before leaving the scene early Aug. 2. Officers and first responders found Bagley unresponsive in the street. He died from his injuries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Five days later, the Sylva Police Department announced it had arrested Sarmiento and charged him with felony hit-and-run resulting in serious injury or death, no liability insurance, driving with a revoked license, exceeding safe speed and failure to reduce speed. He also had an outstanding arrest order in Jackson County, North Carolina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/us/man-charged-crash-killed-mother-two-young-sons-has-ice-detainer-prior-dwi-convictions" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MAN CHARGED IN CRASH THAT KILLED MOTHER AND TWO YOUNG SONS HAS ICE DETAINER, PRIOR DWI CONVICTIONS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The same day Sarmiento was arrested, ICE lodged a detainer with the Jackson County Jail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/politics/executive/homeland-security" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Department of Homeland Security&lt;/a&gt; told Fox News Digital that Sarmiento entered the country illegally through Texas as an unaccompanied minor in October 2021. U.S. Border Patrol arrested him after his entry. DHS said he was "reunified" with an unrelated sponsor and released into the country under the Biden administration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DHS Secretary &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/person/markwayne-mullin" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Markwayne Mullin&lt;/a&gt; told Fox News Digital his agency is "asking officials in Jackson County to cooperate and not release this criminal from jail without notifying ICE."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mullin said "if it weren’t for the &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/joe-biden" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;Biden Administration&lt;/a&gt;’s disastrous open borders, James Bagley would still be alive."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fox News Digital reached out to a representative of the former Biden administration for comment but did not receive a response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/dem-demands-one-case-sanctuary-cities-didnt-turn-over-illegal-immigrants-dhs-provides-list" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WATCH: DEM DEMANDS 'ONE CASE' WHERE SANCTUARY CITIES DIDN'T TURN OVER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS; DHS PROVIDES LIST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mullin said "by securing our border and &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/deportation" target="_new" rel="noopener"&gt;deporting illegal aliens&lt;/a&gt;, we can save lives and prevent tragedies like this one from ever happening again."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After Sarmiento’s arrest, Sylva Police Chief Aimee Sumner said his arrest "represents a significant step forward in our investigation" but added that "while an arrest has been made, this case is not over, and we remain committed to conducting a thorough investigation and ensuring that the facts are presented through the judicial process."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sumner noted, "Our thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of James Bagley as they continue to cope with this tremendous loss."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The police chief confirmed the charges against Sarmiento to Fox News Digital. Sumner also confirmed that Sarmiento remains in custody at the Jackson County Detention Center, which the Jackson County Sheriff's Office operates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/ice-boston-arrests-brazilian-illegal-alien-wanted-murder-days-before-gov-healy-signed-protect-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ICE BOSTON ARRESTS BRAZILIAN ILLEGAL ALIEN WANTED FOR MURDER DAYS BEFORE GOV HEALY SIGNED PROTECT ACT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regarding the ICE detainer, Sumner said, "Our department was not involved in that process; you would need to speak with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fox News Digital contacted the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office but did not receive a response by the time of publication.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>'Everybody Loves Raymond' star Patricia Heaton reveals the mortifying moment that made her quit drinking</title>
            <description>Heaton says her children leaving home during the coronavirus pandemic left her without an anchor</description>

The things that had always anchored me — my family and my work—were gone. I started thinking, 'What am I supposed to do today?'" Heaton said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The actress explained that her drinking didn't escalate all at once, and she noticed her alcohol intake increased over time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/former-disney-star-david-henrie-rejected-secular-hollywood-lifestyle-after-life-changing-monastery-visit" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FORMER DISNEY STAR DAVID HENRIE REJECTED 'SECULAR' HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE AFTER LIFE-CHANGING MONASTERY VISIT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"A glass of wine while cooking became wine with dinner, wine while cleaning up and wine while watching 'Wheel of Fortune' and 'Jeopardy!' One night I realized I had almost finished an entire bottle by myself," she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heaton said at this moment, she started "thinking about alcohol differently" and turned to &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/religion" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;religion&lt;/a&gt; to help her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

I would be willing to stop, but you have to make it happen because I can’t. I’m willing, but I’m unable.' The next night I was with my sons and their friends, and I couldn’t pronounce the word ‘tradition.’ I tried three times. My youngest son said, ‘That’s great, Mom. You can’t even speak,'" she recalled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heaton said the incident "mortified" her and prompted her to begin her sobriety journey. "The next morning I said, ‘Okay, God. Message received.’ That was eight years ago," she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters?cmpid=fnfirstnl" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heaton is a proud mom of four sons: Samuel, John, Joseph and Daniel.

            <title>Chicago found millions for migrants. Why are its own children being left behind?</title>
            <description>Rooftop Revelations: I believe in taking care of our own home first. It puts us on the right footing to extend a strong, helping hand to others</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The numbers for the elementary school down the block from my church are discouraging. The latest CPS data for Dulles Elementary School show that just 13.7% of Dulles students are proficient in English language arts and 3.9% are proficient in math. Dulles spends significantly less per student than some districtwide estimates of CPS spending. This is shocking, mind-boggling, and if this isn’t a crime against humanity, then I don’t know what is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The numbers only get worse. The school spends about $16,200 per student. The &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/chicago" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Chicago Public Schools&lt;/a&gt; district average is roughly $27,000 to $32,000 per student. How is this inequity possible in this age of DEI?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We live in one of the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;bluest cities&lt;/a&gt; in America, and our mayor, Brandon Johnson, brags about having the "Blackest administration" and always talks about fighting White supremacy. And yet he is comfortable with this disparity in school spending? Why aren’t all the White DEI folks on the North Side of Chicago outraged over this inequity?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/chicagos-empty-ghost-schools-teach-us-about-how-system-failing" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHICAGO’S EMPTY 'GHOST SCHOOLS' TEACH US ABOUT HOW THE SYSTEM IS FAILING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On top of this, Chicago Public Schools is staring down a roughly $732 million budget deficit. Just last summer, the district laid off 1,458 employees, including 432 teachers and 677 special &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/controversies" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;education&lt;/a&gt; assistants. This year, the board restored proposed cuts in part by assuming an additional $150 million from the state that lawmakers have not committed. But this is not a solution, and it will only lead to more debt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now here is what is infuriating to me. Guess how much the city spent on services for the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/media/miami-catholic-charities-loses-11m-contract-providing-care-migrant-children-under-trump-admin" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;migrants and asylum seekers&lt;/a&gt; coming into town between August 2022 and the end of 2024. Chicago’s inspector general found that roughly $639.6 million in city and grant funds was spent on services for new arrivals between August 2022 and the end of 2024. Why weren’t more unrestricted city resources directed toward our struggling schools instead?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am a pastor. I believe in compassion. But it is morally wrong to assign so many of our taxpayer dollars to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/illegal-immigrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;noncitizens&lt;/a&gt; who came to the United States and are now receiving taxpayer-funded services in Chicago. Every dollar of unrestricted public money spent on one priority is a dollar that cannot be spent on another, including our schools. We can apply the cold tools of cost-benefit analysis here, and I’m always going to take the side of our children. I believe in taking care of our own home first because it puts us on the right footing to extend a strong, helping hand to others. Right now, we are creating children weak in the mind, and in what universe is that moral or right?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I want to know is why we have chosen to prize the newly arrived over those of us who were born, through no fault of their own, into generational poverty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/faith-values/chicago-pastor-declares-violence-free-zone-citys-south-side" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHICAGO PASTOR GATHERS HUNDREDS OF MEN TO DECLARE VIOLENCE-FREE ZONE ON SOUTH SIDE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a few years ago, nearly every leader in Chicago was chanting "Black Lives Matter!" I guess that was just an empty slogan and they’re insincere people.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Where is the urgent help for the kids who cannot read, the special-needs students who need consistent aides, and the teachers stretched thin every day? If equity means anything, it should start with the children who have been failed the longest in the neighborhoods that vote most consistently for these leaders. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t agree with their vote, and I’ve told them so. Yet, I have no problem telling Mayor Brandon Johnson, "They voted for you, so why don’t you start doing your job and representing them? Or are they just your pawns?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you walk the halls of our South Side schools, you will meet &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/education" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;students who cannot read at grade level&lt;/a&gt;, special-needs children who need consistent support and teachers who are exhausted from doing more with less. Enrollment has declined. Buildings are aging. Pensions and debt eat huge portions of the budget. Yet year after year, the deficit returns, and year after year, the conversation turns to everything except the hard choices that put local kids first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have spent years in the streets of this city trying to build something better for the next generation. Project H.O.O.D. is about opportunity, not excuses. Education is the foundation of that opportunity. When a district repeatedly faces shortfalls in the hundreds of millions of dollars while hundreds of millions flow to other priorities, the message to our children is unmistakable: You are not the priority.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I do not write this out of anger. I write it out of love for the kids I see every day. They deserve adults who will fight as hard for their classrooms as they fight for every other cause. Until that happens, the view from the South Side will keep showing the same picture: struggling schools, deferred maintenance on our children’s futures and a city that keeps choosing everything else first.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/person/b/corey-brooks" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM PASTOR COREY BROOKS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Former Nickelodeon child star reveals hidden price of fame after sharing residual checks worth pennies</title>
            <description>'Ned's Declassified' and '90210' alum, Jennifer Tedmori, says fame does not equal wealth and the mental health cost outweighs the pay</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;The price of childhood fame can be steep. The checks that come afterward? Sometimes just pennies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Ned's Declassified" alum Jennifer Tedmori recently went viral after revealing the surprisingly small residual checks she still receives from her time on the hit Nickelodeon sitcom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former child star-turned-lawyer, who now hosts the mental health podcast &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzEzvOCJ8nXIEeoXkKdqw-gN3hab23qjm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;"Off My Meds,"&lt;/a&gt; told Fox News Digital that those small payments expose just one part of the hidden cost of fame that can follow child actors long after the cameras stop rolling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/entertainment/married-with-children-star-ted-mcginley-reveals-gets-penny-residual-checks-hit-tv-shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'MARRIED... WITH CHILDREN' STAR TED MCGINLEY REVEALS HE GETS PENNY RESIDUAL CHECKS FROM HIS HIT TV SHOWS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I've had a lot of time to think about why so many child actors struggle into adulthood," she said. "I think it's a couple of things. I think home life is a big part of it. I think upbringing, I think intentions as to why somebody is in the business is a big one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"But I think, as I watch some colleagues and co-stars go through really tough times with being an adult, I think I would just want the public to know that these are human beings. And I think there should be a level of compassion that is given to some of them because, as much as they're prepared for being a child star, they really aren't prepared for the adult world. And they're not really taught the real world things outside of acting that can prepare them for just being a regular human being."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbJ9EmxPMik/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=AvrvOhyaJeNA0IJ1dVpp_-U" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;Tedmori sifts through stacks&lt;/a&gt; of unopened mail only to find residual checks worth pocket change — sometimes just a few cents, occasionally $5 — she laughs. But behind the humor is a reality that could have looked very different.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WATCH: JENNIFER TEDMORI REVEALS REALITY BEHIND ACTORS’ RESIDUAL CHECKS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Growing up, Tedmori said she was encouraged to build a life beyond acting and pursue other passions. Many of her peers, she noted, were prepared for fame and success — but not for what happens when the spotlight fades and the hit show ends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I made the conscious decision after I was around 18 and figuring out part-time jobs and how I was going to move forward with the uncertainty of an actor's life that I decided to go to law school," she said. "And I think that was the best decision I could have ever made for myself because I am someone that values stability, financial stability. But when it comes to &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/entertainment/child-stars" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;child actors,&lt;/a&gt; there's a misconception that they are set for life."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"There is a misconception that, if we see somebody on a show, that fame equals wealth," Tedmori said. "That's not the case for most people."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/entertainment/genres/sitcom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;"Ned's Declassified,"&lt;/a&gt; Tedmori played Doris Trembly, a member of the "Huge Crew," a group of girls who had crushes on Ned (Devon Werkheiser). The show aired for three seasons from 2004 to 2007.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"... Anybody that's getting residuals, they taper off over time," she said. "And if it's anything like what I'm getting, which from what my colleagues and former co-stars have been saying, they're all getting the same type of checks. ... So, there is a misunderstanding that you are set for life, and that isn't necessarily the case. ... And in most cases, I think it costs more in their mental health than it does in the checks that they're getting in terms of the value lost and value earned for a child actor. ... I think it ends up being kind of rough for them."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In her viral video, Tedmori opened checks for 68 cents, 87 cents, 36 cents, 45 cents, two for three cents, three for 81 cents and two for $1.01.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"So for 'Ned's Declassified,' that earned me a grand total of $8.63," she said while sitting in her car. "With '90210,' $30.06. Maybe I can go buy a coffee at Starbucks. Do I even report this to the IRS? They're not even going to give a f---."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The largest check Tedmori found in the pile wasn't for "Ned's Declassified," but for her work on &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/entertainment/tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;CW's "90210."&lt;/a&gt; She appeared in the reboot as "Goth Girl." The check was for $21.43.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WATCH: JENNIFER TEDMORI REVEALS SURPRISING ‘90210’ RESIDUAL CHECK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I'm super grateful for the opportunities I've had in my career, and with 'Ned's Declassified,'" Tedmori clarified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"... But the lawyer in me really has to contemplate if there’s a better system for doing this. ... It costs more to pay somebody to issue the check and for them to go to SAG-AFTRA, and then for them to write a statement, print the check, put it in an envelope and then send it to me for all of 2 cents. ... And what’s crazy is I can’t even electronically deposit these checks. It’s too low of an amount. ... So then I’ve got to go to the bank, look somebody in the eye, and be like, ‘Here’s my check for all of 2 cents that I’m cashing.’"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fox News Digital reached out to SAG-AFTRA for comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tedmori believes there's a more meaningful way to put these "penny checks" to use. She suggested actors with envelopes piling up could pool the money. Collectively, she said, those pennies could help create a fund for struggling peers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"So many actors have talked about their experiences with residual checks, specifically the penny checks and not depositing them, but not throwing them away," she said. "[We should allow] actors the opportunity to donate them or put them in a charity fund for creatives."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think about when I go to the grocery store, and they ask me if I want to donate the remainder of the less than a dollar amount to round up to a charity of their choosing," she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think, why can't we do the same as actors? I don't know what that looks like, but I did have the thought that I would so gladly donate all of my residual payments to a charity or some sort of actor's equity fund to help struggling creatives. And I think specifically, with these checks, it adds up. So for me, what seems like $8.63 from 'Ned's Declassified' and $8 from my co-star and another, that might not be a lot of money to a charity, but I think, as a whole, could actually be a significant amount that could go help a greater cause."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tedmori said she's considering a social media series about the residual checks to shed light on the realities of child stardom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think it's something that probably should be talked about more, just because more people don't realize it," she said. "Growing up, I don't think that there was a whole lot of conversation about finances. Maybe there should have been. I was just doing it because I love to act. I love to perform. And for me, it was fun. I didn't really think about what that might look like financially down the line."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fox News Digital's Tracy Wright contributed to this report.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Spanish journalist says Ceuta residents believe government isn't doing enough to prevent another migrant rush</title>
            <description>Conservative journalist Javier Negre says citizens feel scared after 70,000 migrants flooded the Spanish enclave on July 30</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Residents of Ceuta, &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/spain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Spain's&lt;/a&gt; North African enclave bordering Morocco, are saying that the government is not doing enough to prevent another mass immigration event like the July 30 influx of approximately 70,000 migrants into the city, conservative Spanish journalist Javier Negre told Fox News Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The local citizens, they are really sad. And no matter if they are left or right, What they say is like, it's really complicated to live right now in Ceuta," Negre told Fox News Digital in an interview.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Negre said citizens have cited incidents in which migrants committed crimes, including robbery and attempted rape, adding "they live in the street and the people are really scared."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We need in Spain, we need in &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/europe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Europe&lt;/a&gt;, governments that try to avoid the illegal immigration right now because it's not fair for the citizens that pay taxes to have social security, to have healthcare and these illegal migrants, they collapse the hospitals, they collapsed the universities, the schools, and it's not fair for the Spanish people," Negre said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/world/state-department-raises-travel-warning-part-spain-migrant-surge-sparks-military-deployment" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STATE DEPARTMENT RAISES TRAVEL WARNING FOR PART OF SPAIN AS MIGRANT SURGE SPARKS MILITARY DEPLOYMENT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The residents who reportedly spoke to Negre seemingly echoed comments from Juan Jesús Vivas, Ceuta's mayor-president. Speaking during an extraordinary session of the &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/world-regions/europe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;European Parliament's&lt;/a&gt; Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, Vivas said the migrant rush put public safety and public health at risk and threatened to collapse the city's immigration infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Furthermore, the morale of Ceuta's residents is severely affected. Our population feels sad, helpless, uneasy, fearful and worried — and with good reason. It is inevitable to wonder whether this will happen again, and if that next time will be the definitive plunge into the abyss, causing us to cease being what we are: Spain and Europe," Vivas said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following a circulation of social media messages in Morocco calling for migrants to again rush the Spanish enclave on Aug. 15, both Spain and Morocco &lt;a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/spain-stocks-african-enclave-ceuta-boosted-security-morocco-monitors-calls-second-border-rush" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;beefed up security&lt;/a&gt; on their respective sides of the border, in addition to the maritime barriers Spain put up after the initial incident saw migrants swim ashore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But, Negre said Moroccan officials told him that the increased measures are not enough.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I know that today the Spanish government and the Moroccan government, they say that they are going to put more police, but it's not enough," Negre said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We need more police," he continued. "We need to have more &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/border-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;border security&lt;/a&gt; because people don't understand why they're paying taxes, why they're giving a lot of money to the state if they can't block the frontier to these illegal migrants that they are not escaping from a war or a difficult situation," Negre told Fox News Digital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Negre criticized Spain's government, led by left-wing Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his party, Vox. The journalist pointed to Spanish media reports arguing that Sánchez's frosty relationship with Morocco may have contributed to the migration incident.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Pedro Sánchez, who is involved in a lot of scandals of corruption, he went to &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/world/conflicts/algeria" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Algeria&lt;/a&gt;, and there are some rumors that maybe the king of Morocco try to promote this illegal invasion to tell the Spanish government, 'hey, take it easy,'" Negre explained.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/world/trump-criticizes-spain-amid-iran-nato-rift-pm-sanchez-faces-questions-over-political-motives" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP CRITICIZES SPAIN AMID IRAN, NATO RIFT AS PM SANCHEZ FACES QUESTIONS OVER POLITICAL MOTIVES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sánchez traveled to Algeria on July 20, 10 days before the migration incident, in an effort to restore diplomatic ties after a freeze in the countries' relationship over Morocco's claim to the Western Sahara.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Western Sahara, a desolate region in northwest Africa, has long been the focus of hostile relations between Algeria and Morocco. In 2020, the &lt;a href="https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-recognizing-sovereignty-kingdom-morocco-western-sahara/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;U.S. officially recognized&lt;/a&gt; Morocco's claim of sovereignty over the region.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Spain does not officially recognize that claim, Sánchez did endorse Morocco's autonomy plan for the region, which proposes limited self-governance under Moroccan sovereignty to be the "most serious, realistic, and credible basis" for resolving a long-standing dispute between Morocco and Algeria over the territory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sánchez revealed his decision in a &lt;a href="https://elpais.com/espana/2022-03-23/la-carta-de-pedro-sanchez-a-mohamed-vi-debemos-construir-una-nueva-relacion-que-evite-futuras-crisis.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;March 2022 letter&lt;/a&gt; to Morocco's King Mohammed VI, a letter he sent less than a year after another migrant influx from Morocco into Ceuta. During that May 2021 incident, Moroccan border guards appeared to stand down while 10,000 people flooded into Ceuta from the African nation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/world/youre-destroying-your-countries-europe-finally-heeding-trumps-warning-illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'YOU'RE DESTROYING YOUR COUNTRIES': IS EUROPE FINALLY HEEDING TRUMP'S WARNING ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While Moroccan officials denied they instructed border guards to stand down, the European Parliament &lt;a href="https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2021-0289_EN.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;passed a resolution condemning&lt;/a&gt; Morocco for the incident, citing statements from Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs acknowledging that the incident was retaliation for Spain treating the leader of a Western Saharan rebel group at a Spanish hospital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Negre also took aim at &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/eu-admits-didnt-have-control-migration-bloc-rushes-crackdown-ahead-new-rules" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;European leadership writ large&lt;/a&gt;, contrasting the European Parliament with President Donald Trump.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Europe is going really bad with illegal immigration, with the open frontiers, completely opposite as the politics of President Trump with border security and &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/category/us/immigration/deportation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;deporting all the illegal migrants&lt;/a&gt;," he told Fox News Digital, while praising Trump's proposed legislation to require voter identification, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the &lt;a href="https://foxnews.com/politics/harris-becomes-accidental-save-act-saleswoman-trump-attack-spectacularly-backfires" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;SAVE Act&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fox News Digital contacted the governments of Spain, Ceuta, Morocco and Algeria for further comment.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
