Actors slam 'Hacks' star's Emmy speech as 'vulgar' ignorance
Some actors criticized "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder for what they called "inflammatory and disturbing" remarks during her acceptance speech at the 2025 Emmy Awards on Sunday night.While accepting her award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the HBO Max show, Einbinder ended her remarks by saying, "F--- ICE and free Palestine!"After the show, Einbinder defended her comments, saying she spoke as a Jewish person on behalf of Palestinians."I feel it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel because our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing, basically, institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state," Einbinder said.THE EMMYS DOESN'T TOUCH ASSASSINATION OF CONSERVATIVE CHAMPION CHARLIE KIRKFellow Emmy-winning Jewish actor Yuval David disagreed, however, calling her comments ignorant of both Israeli history and the ongoing war."Hannah Einbinders Emmy speech was a performance of ignorance, not courage," David said in a statement on Tuesday. "She said nothing about peace, nothing about ending the war, and nothing about the hostages still suffering in Gaza. To claim Jews can be separated from Israel is an insult to our history and faith, as more than seven million Jews live there and every Jew in the world faces Israel when we pray."He continued, "Prayers and philosophies about the Land of Israel exist throughout every facet of Judaism. For thousands of years, we refer to our collective as the nation of Israel. If Hannah truly cares about justice, she should come to Israel, look Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the eye, and see how peace is achieved in front of her own eyes."COLBERT WINS EMMY FOR 'LATE SHOW' AFTER CANCELLATION, SAYS HE LOVES HIS COUNTRY MORE THAN EVERDereck Andrade, a SAG-AFTRA member and former strike gate captain during the 2023 actors union strike, wrote to the union asking if Einbinder could face disciplinary action after her Emmy remarks.The letter, provided to Fox News Digital, asked the union whether there will be any disciplinary action regarding what he called Einbinders "inflammatory and disturbing comments.""As a SAG-AFTRA member, I take great umbrage in her comments that could potentially create more deadly violence," Andrade wrote. "While I fully respect her right to her opinions, I do not agree with her comments. She has sullied my union because many people falsely believe that all we union actors are left-wing extremists bent on violence. She just added unnecessary fuel to that fire, and placed a target on me as a SAG actor."He added that he filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after he learned that her "vulgar diatribe" was watched by more than 7 million people, according to Nielsen data.JANE FONDA DEFENDS 'WOKE' AT SAG AWARDS, RALLIES HOLLYWOOD TO 'RESIST' TRUMPFox News Digital reached out to SAG-AFTRA and Einbinder for comment.Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin also condemned Einbinders remarks, saying they denigrated Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"How ugly such demonization is inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement, who are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them," McLaughlin said in a statement. "As this woman fans the flames of hatred, our brave law enforcement will continue enforcing the rule of law and protecting Americans."Einbinder's remarks were well-received at the ceremony, however. The crowd loudly cheered the comments.

Weight loss drugs could add years to Americans' lives, researchers project
A new study has discovered that drugs for diabetes and weight loss could significantly reduce mortality for Americans.Researchers at Swiss Re, a reinsurance company in Zurich, Switzerland, released estimations that GLP-1 drugs could lead to a 6.4% reduction in all-cause mortality in the U.S. by 2045.In the U.K., more than a 5% reduction in mortality was projected over the same 20 years.COULD GLP-1 WEIGHT-LOSS MEDICATIONS LIKE OZEMPIC BECOME THE 'EVERYTHING DRUG'?The U.S. and U.K. share high obesity rates and a "strong uptake" in GLP-1 drugs, the researchers noted in a press release.America has the worlds highest obesity rate, as more than 40% of the adult population is obese. About 30% of U.K. adults are obese.Obesity is one factor that has "stalled progress in life expectancy," as it is linked to 70% of the leading causes of death in high-income countries, according to the researchers. These causes include heart disease, stroke, Alzheimers and many cancers."By improving baseline risk factors, GLP-1 drugs may contribute to mortality improvements over time, saving millions from premature death," the researchers commented.WHY MICRODOSING OZEMPIC COULD BECOME AS COMMON AS TAKING A MULTIVITAMINTo maximize the benefits of GLP-1 medications, individuals should also implement lifestyle changes that support "long-term health improvements," the experts advised.Without sustainable changes, like diet and exercise, weight regain and rebound effects are common, studies show.Paul Murray, Swiss Re's CEO of Life & Health Reinsurance, commented on these findings in a press release, noting that GLP-1 drugs hold "significant promise to help us beat the obesity epidemic.""Our research underscores that the full benefit will come from going beyond medication," he wrote. "As insurers, we are in a position to build partnerships, support policy and encourage people to make meaningful lifestyle changes with a focus on prevention."Murray added, "If we get this right, we can strengthen the insurance safety net and contribute to people living longer, healthier lives."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERRecent research has revealed that GLP-1 medications can improve a variety of conditions beyond weight loss and diabetes.These include heart, kidney, liver and skin conditions, as well as arthritis, cognitive decline, addiction and even certain cancers.Triple board-certified weight loss physician Dr. Sue Decotiis, who is based in New York, confirmed in an interview with Fox News Digital how patients have experienced an improvement in various conditions while on these medications.Fat cells, which are burned by an increase in insulin from GLP-1 drugs, produce cytokines that are responsible for inflammation in the body, potentially leading to autoimmune disease, cancer and other issues, according to the expert.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"By reducing the volume of fat cells in the body, we reduce all these inflammatory cytokines," she said. "And that's why we see a lot of the effects that we see.""It's important to do it the right way and really treat these drugs with respect, treat your body with respect, and understand that this is a wonderful tool if it's used the right way."

Kash Patel calls bulls**t on Swalwell in heated exchange over Epstein files
FBI Director Kash Patel and Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., sparred over Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case files, a topic raised repeatedly on Wednesday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.Swalwell, one of several Democrats to grill Patel over the Department of Justice's handling of the files, demanded the director tell him about any mention of President Donald Trump in them. Patel was not receptive to Swalwell's line of questioning, leading to a profanity-laced back-and-forth."Your fixation on this matter and baseless accusations that I'm hiding child pedophiles is disgusting," Patel said.DOJ BRASS VOWED FULL TRANSPARENCY ON EPSTEIN BEFORE TURNING UP EMPTY-HANDEDSwalwell zeroed in on Patel's conversations with Attorney General Pam Bondi related to Trump after the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump, who was once friends with Epstein, was told by the DOJ that his name appeared in the files. Trump and several other high-profile figures, including former President Bill Clinton, ran in the same affluent social circle as Epstein but have never been charged over any wrongdoing."The attorney general and I have had numerous discussions about the entirety of the Epstein files," Patel said.Swalwell repeated the question several times, before enunciating each syllable."Why dont you try spelling it out if youre going to mock me. Use the alphabet. No? A B C, D E F," Patel shot back.Unsatisfied, Swalwell said he would take Patel's "evasiveness" as a "consciousness of guilt." Swalwell also noted how the DOJ's unsuccessful attempts to ask the courts to unseal grand jury transcripts in both Epstein's and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell's case were meaningless because the grand jury material contained no new non-public information and represented only a small fraction of the broader case files.HOUSE DEMOCRATS OPEN PROBE INTO FBI'S HANDLING OF EPSTEIN DOCUMENTS"Director, you've played this cute shell game where you say you can't release everything because the court has said that it legally is not allowed to be released, but the court calls bulls**t," Swalwell said.Swalwell has long stood out as a political rival of Trump's after serving on the House Intelligence Committee and openly accusing Trump of colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 election, a claim that was never proven following multiple federal investigations. Patel was a top staffer for Republicans on the intel committee at the same time Swalwell served on it.In his 2023 book "Government Gangsters," Patel named Swalwell as a "corrupt actor." Swalwell signaled that Patel, a former MAGA firebrand, said in his book that dozens of Democrats and Republicans who fell out of favor with Trump were members of the so-called deep state. Swalwell asked Patel to recuse from investigating anyone in his book. Patel ultimately said he would not recuse himself, but not before a yelling match ensued."Im going to borrow your terminology and call bullsh**t on your entire career in Congress," Patel said. "It has been a disgrace to the American people," he added as Swalwell shouted over him to reclaim his time and as other lawmakers called for order.Swalwell was one of numerous Democrats to broach the Epstein files after the DOJ botched a rollout of them earlier this year and ultimately said it would not disclose any further nonpublic information. Patel had long said prior to becoming FBI director that the government was covering for sexual predators affiliated with Epstein.Patel addressed the case in his opening statement, saying former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta did not, in his view, seek enough information when Epstein was originally prosecuted."The original sin on the Epstein case was how it was handled by Mr. Acosta when he first brought the case in 2006, seven and eight," Patel said. "The original case had a very limited search warrant, had a very limited search window. I would not have done it that way."Epstein was later charged with trafficking underage women in 2019 and, according to authorities, died by suicide while awaiting trial.At the close of the hearing, Democrats held a vote to subpoena four banks associated with Epstein, whose massive wealth remains a point of scrutiny. Republicans countered the effort by voting to table the motion.

Spains prime minister sparks outrage over alleged nuclear threat against Israel
The anti-Israel Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, is under fire from Israel and Spaniards alike for his alleged comments to use nuclear weapons against the Jewish state.The socialist Prime Minister Sanchez, said in a speech last week that"Spain, as you know, doesnt have nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers, or large oil reserves," adding, "We alone cant stop the Israeli offensive. But that doesnt mean we wont stop trying. Because there are causes worth fighting for, even if winning them isnt in our sole power."Israels Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, accused his Spanish counterpart of making a "blatant genocidal threat to the worlds only Jewish state. Apparently, the Spanish Inquisition, the expulsion of the Jews of Spain and the systematic mass murder of Jews in the Holocaust, is not enough for Sanchez."The Times of Israel reported that Spain summoned Israel's top diplomat in the country to "categorically reject the false and slanderous statements from the Israeli prime ministers office."ISRAEL'S NETANYAHU RIPS IRELAND, SPAIN AND NORWAY RECOGNIZING PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD: 'REWARD FOR TERRORISM'Juan Caldes, theEuropean advocacy coordinator at the European JewishAssociation, told Fox News Digital that, "It is beyond hypocritical and cynical to call Israel a genocidal state when one mentions how unfortunate the fact that Spain doesnt have nuclear weapons to stop Israel. That is the definition of a genocide, when there is a deliberate intent to destroy a specific group (be it ethnic, religiousor racial)."Caldez, who is Spanish, said, "Sanchez embraced the Palestinian cause in order to avoid talking about his own personal corruption scandals that surround some of his family members and also many of the corruption scandals involving many of his colleagues from the Socialist Party."He claimed, "Sanchezs coalition (of socialists and communists) have been expressing very antisemitic views since Oct. 7th."He cited Yolanda Diaz, vice president of Spain, who in a televised speech last year, said, "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free In other words, from the Jordan River until the Mediterranean state a one-state solution erasing all Jews from the land."HAMAS TERROR OUTLET QUIETLY CUTS GAZA DEATH COUNT, REVEALS MOST KILLED WERE COMBAT-AGE MENAccording to Caldes, "Sanchezs rhetoric and actions show how embedded antisemitism is part of the Spanish government. That being said, it is still important not to conflate it with the majority of the Spanish people who do not hold antisemitic views."Santiago Abascal, the leader of the right-wing Vox Party, said, "Sanchez would like to have nuclear weapons but not to defend Spain. To defend Hamas."According to statistics from The Jewish Agency for Israel in September, the size of the Spanish Jewish community numbered12,900 out of a population of just over 49 million.Last year Spain experienced "the largest increase in modern history in antisemitic speech, incidents, and attacks, up 321% compared to 2023 and 567% comparedto2022," according to a report by the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain.Fox News Digital reached out to Spains embassy in Washington and its foreign ministry for comment.

Former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce said the criticism of the tush push is going to put the famed play under the microscope of referees moving forward.Kelce, 37, warned that referees will be "looking" to throw a flag on the play."The refs are going to be looking for anything to call," Kelce said during a recent episode of "New Heights."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"They need to be very, very cautious because the calls are going to be starting to come, and they should be.

Obama calls Charlie Kirks death horrific, blames Trump for fueling division
Former President Barack Obama said conservative activist Charlie Kirks death was "horrific and a tragedy," while also taking a veiled shot at President Donald Trump with accusations of sowing political division in the country as the nation faces an unprecedented "political crisis.""Regardless of where you are on the political spectrum, what happened to Charlie Kirk was horrific and a tragedy," Obama said Tuesday night at the Jefferson Educational Societys 17th annual global summit in Erie, Pennsylvania."Obviously I didnt know Charlie Kirk," Obama said. "I was generally aware of some of his ideas. I think those ideas were wrong, but that doesnt negate the fact that what happened was a tragedy and that I mourn for him and his family."Obama, who said Tuesday that the nation is facing a "political crisis of the sort that we havent seen before," did not mention Trump by name in his remarks.GRADUALLY AND THEN SUDDENLY: REAGAN SPEECHWRITER TALKS POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN AFTERMATH OF KIRKS DEATHKirk, 31, was killed after suffering a gunshot wound in the neck during his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University Sept. 10. The shooting suspect, Tyler Robinson, was charged Monday with aggravated murder, along with other charges.The assassination comes a year after two attempts to take the presidents life.While Obama admitted that extremists are present at both ends of the political divide, he distanced himself and his administration from far-left ideologues."Those extreme views were not in my White House," Obama claimed. "I wasn't empowering them. I wasn't putting the weight of the United States government behind them. When we have the weight of the United States government behind extremist views, weve got a problem."'DARK MOMENT FOR AMERICA': TRUMP DECLARES CHARLIE KIRK'S VOICE 'BIGGER AND GRANDER' AFTER ASSASSINATIONAdditionally, Obama signaled that the current White House was seeking to "silence discussion" in the aftermath of Kirks death, comments that come as Trump and administration officials have vowed to take action against those who have cheered for Kirks death on social media and cast blame on the "radical left" for recent political violence."When I hear not just our current president, but his aides, who have a history of calling political opponents vermin, enemies who need to be targeted, that speaks to a broader problem that we have right now, and something that were going to have to grapple with all of us," Obama said.In response, the White House said that Obama is the "architect" for creating political division within America.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, JOSH DUHAMEL, JILLIAN MICHAELS DENOUNCE POLITICAL VIOLENCE"Barack Hussein Obama is the architect of modern political division in America famously demeaning millions of patriotic Americans who opposed his liberal agenda as bitter for cling(ing) to guns or religion," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a Wednesday statement. "Obama used every opportunity to sow division and pit Americans against each other, and following his presidency more Americans felt Obama divided the country than felt he united it.""His division has inspired generations of Democrats to slander their opponents as deplorables, or fascists, or Nazis,'" Jackson said. "If he cares about unity in America, he would tell his own party to stop their destructive behavior."Obama previously weighed in to express his condolences to Kirks family immediately after the shooting."We dont yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy," Obama said in an X post Sept. 10. "Michelle and I will be praying for Charlies family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children."

The Hitchhikers Guide to the gambits to avoid a government shutdown over the next few days
Gaming out what might happen over the next couple of days on an effort to avert a government shutdownThe newest wrinkle today is that Democrats intend to release their version of an interim spending bill soon. The question is when? One senior source said it may not come until Friday.The House is now expected to vote on the GOPs "clean" CR to simply renew all funding at the present levels through November 21 on Friday. First of all, the House must pass the bill. That could be tough because Democrats believe all of their members will vote no. Its about the math: Republicans can only lose two votes on their side and still pass a bill without assistance from across the aisle. But lets just operate under the presumption that the House can approve the bill Friday.Then the measure goes to the Senate.HOUSE PLANS THURSDAY VOTE ON GOVERNMENT FUNDING BILL TO EXTEND SPENDING THROUGH NOVEMBERGetting to final approval of this bill would require two rounds of "cloture" to break a filibuster. By the book, this process could take days and certainly bleed into the weekend for the initial round.However, Senate Republicans want to attend Charlie Kirks funeral on Sunday. And both sides are anxious to blame the other for blowing up an interim spending bill.SENATE REPUBLICANS PUSH MAJOR RULE CHANGE TO FAST-TRACK TRUMP NOMINEES IN BATCHES THIS WEEKSo, staring into the crystal ball and speaking with senior sources from both sides the following could happen in the Senate:The Senate gets the interim spending bill from the House on Friday afternoon. Both sides waive all of the rules and clocks in order to have two "show" votes sometime on Friday or Friday night.Republicans will insist on having a vote to break a filibuster on the motion to proceed to the House-passed bill. That needs 60 yeas. There are 53 Senate Republicans. Fox is told that Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is expected to be a no on the procedural vote.That means eight Democrats would have to join Republicans to vote to break the filibuster to hit the 60-vote threshold. That is not going to happen.TRUMP PRESSURES REPUBLICANS TO PASS A CONTINUING RESOLUTION TO AVERT A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNThe Senate would then vote in similar fashion on starting debate on the Democrats still-unwritten plan. The Senate would subject that vote to a 60 threshold. That too will fall short, since there are only 47 senators who caucus with the Democrats.That produces an impasse."Its good to have a logjam this early in the process," said one senior Senate Democrat to Fox. "It shows that nothing can pass yet."That gambit allows both sides to make their points and get the other side on the record.Such a scenario would prevent a weekend session in the Senate. Both the House and Senate are scheduled to be out of session next week. Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown Monday. However, the House and Senate could come back to session after Rosh Hashanah (Wednesday at nightfall) if necessary. The House and Senate have until 11:59:59 p.m. ET on September 30 to both pass a Band-Aid bill and send it to the President to avoid a shutdown.

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson negotiated 'gentle' surrender, was afraid of being shot: sheriff
More details have emerged about how alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson was turned over to police while the manhunt for a suspect ensued.Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby said at a news conference on Wednesday that he received a call from a former law enforcement friend telling him Robinson, 22, was the shooter. Robinson reportedly had suicidal thoughts, but was convinced by his parents not to harm himself.Brooksby said Robinson was afraid of a SWAT raid on his home and being shot by the police, which were also motives for willingly presenting himself to the sheriff's office.Robinson asked for a "peaceful, gentle" surrender, a condition to which the sheriff agreed in order to get him to turn himself in. He was described as "quiet and somber" upon apprehension.TIMELINE OF CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATIONBrooksby's office did not question Robinson while he waited for the lead investigators to arrive.Robinson's lover, who is transgender, lived in a townhouse with him for about a year, according to a relative who spoke to Fox News Digital."He hates conservatives and Christians," the relative said. "He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized.""He has obviously gotten progressively worse the last year or two," the relative said, adding that he's "always very angry."Robinson faces charges of aggravated murder, two counts of obstruction of justice and felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of witness tampering and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRKKirk was hosting the first event in his "The American Comeback" tour last Wednesday when he was shot and killed.Authorities say that Robinson climbed onto the roof of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, and discharged one round from a rifle, striking Kirk in the neck.Kirk, a conservative titan who traveled the country fostering debate and open dialogue with university students, was pronounced dead a short while later.Fox News' Adam Sabes contributed to this report.

A massive asteroid nearly the size of a New York skyscraper will make a close approach, or pass, by Earth in the early hours of Sept. 18, according to scientists.They say the asteroid, officially dubbed "2025 FA22," is set to race past the planet at more than 24,000 mph, and will do so again in 2089 and 2173.The asteroid measures between 427 and 951 feet across, similar in size to a large skyscraper.UFO MANIA GRIPS SMALL TOWN AFTER MYSTERIOUS GLOWING OBJECT SIGHTING GOES VIRALNASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have confirmed it poses no immediate threat because updated measurements have ruled out a collision and the asteroid has now been taken off the risk table."Impacts on this scale are rare, but the consequences would be catastrophic," ESA researchers said, with the pass Thursday morning offering a rare opportunity to study a skyscraper-sized asteroid up close.Astronomers first detected 2025 FA22 in March using a special telescope in Hawaii. It was then added to ESAs watch list of possible dangerous asteroids.HARVARD PHYSICIST SAYS MYSTERIOUS INTERSTELLAR OBJECT COULD BE NUCLEAR-POWERED SPACESHIPBecause of its size and speed, if 2025 FA22 did strike Earth, it could crush a major city and other areas, setting off fires and tsunamis.People wont be able to see 2025 FA22, but astronomers with strong telescopes or binoculars could spot it as a faint dot against the stars around 3:40 a.m. ET Sept. 18.METEORITE FRAGMENT THAT SLAMMED THROUGH HOMEOWNER'S ROOF IS BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD, PREDATES EARTH: PROFESSORAsteroids are rocky formations of the solar system from billions of years ago that are seen orbiting the sun and can be different sizes.NASA estimates more than 1.3 million asteroids are in the solar system, with over 30,000 classified as near-Earth objects.NASA's Asteroid Watch always monitors asteroids that could come within 4.6 million miles of Earth.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAny object larger than 492 feet passing within 4.6 million miles of Earth earns a "potentially hazardous" label.Fox News Digital has reached out to NASA for comment.
