FIRST ON FOX: People who are not proficient in English could be shut out of taking the U.S. citizenship test under a new House Republican proposal.Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., plans to introduce a bill that would mandate the citizenship test be taken entirely in English, Fox News Digital has learned.There are several different components to the U.S. citizenship exam. While most portions are English-only, the civics test in which the applicant is asked 10 out of 100 possible questions on U.S. history and government can currently be taken in other languages, provided that certain criteria are met.Fines bill would eliminate those exceptions.HOUSE MOVES TO EXPOSE EPSTEIN FILES, AUTHORIZES OVERSIGHT PROBE"The fact that U.S. citizenship applicants can currently use an interpreter to take the naturalization test undermines the idea of assimilation into American culture. If you want to live in an English-speaking country, you should be able to speak English, period," Fine told Fox News Digital."My bill will require all applicants to take the naturalization test exclusively in English, because both metaphorically and literally, everyone who enters our country with the intent of staying should speak our language."Current law states that people aged 50 or older who have lived in the U.S. as a permanent resident for at least 20 years are allowed to take the civics portion in another language.People aged 55 or older who have been a U.S. permanent resident for at least 15 years have the same exemption.Both groups of people are required to bring an interpreter fluent in English and their native language to the exam.LONGTIME BIDEN AIDE SAYS HE STOOD TO EARN UP TO $8M HAD PRESIDENT WON RE-ELECTIONThe bill would likely run into opposition from immigrant advocacy groups, however.Fines proposal comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March naming English as the countrys official language the first time in its history that the U.S. has done so.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Tuesday she tries to look for the best in her conservative colleagues, despite her frustration with their differing views, during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.""She taught me to look for the best in people," Sotomayor said of her mother. "That was the lesson that moment gave me, and its one I look for in my colleagues."Sotomayor appeared on Colbert's show to promote her new children's book, "Just Shine! How to Be a Better You.""I dont agree with them much. At least not with the majority. And they can be really frustrating. And there are moments when I want to scurry out of the room. But I dont. And what I look for to maintain our collegiality is the good in them," the Supreme Court justice continued.AMY CONEY BARRETT DETAILS BATTLE BETWEEN HER OWN PERSONAL VIEWS AND THE LAW IN NEW BOOKShe said her mother was right and added there was good in "almost" everyone.Sotomayor also appeared on "The View" Tuesday, where she warned about "the price we pay" when asked about the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and other hotly debated rulings by the 6-3 conservative majority."Why do you see these decisions as so dangerous to our freedoms? What do you think ordinary Americans should take away from what seem to be very prescient warnings?" co-host Sunny Hostin asked Sotomayor."The price we pay is whatever is happening today, as I indicated, is going to affect a lot of people. But it affects your future. It affects the conduct of leaders in the future, because what we permit today is not going to be duplicated exactly tomorrow. Its going to be something different," Sotomayor began.BARRETT SAYS JUSTICES 'WEAR BLACK, NOT RED OR BLUE' IN RESPONSE TO PARTISAN CRITICS IN FOX NEWS INTERVIEWSotomayor warned that precedent set by the Court could be "really bad" for certain groups of people."And thats whats at risk, is in each time we change precedent, we are changing the contours of a right that people thought they had. Once you take that away, think of how much more is at risk later. Not just in this situation," she told the co-hosts on Tuesday.Sotomayor was nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed in 2009. She is one of only three justices on the current Court who was nominated by a Democrat.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE

Barbara Eden rubbed audiences the right way as a 2,000-year-old genie, but the actress insisted she never saw herself as a sex symbol."I Dream of Jeannie," which is celebrating its 60th anniversary, tells the tale of astronaut Major Tony Nelson (Larry Hagman), who finds a magic bottle with a genie (Eden) inside. The two go on to fall in love and build a life together.The beloved sitcom premiered on Sept. 18, 1965, catapulting Eden to superstardom.I DREAM OF JEANNIE STAR BARBARA EDEN RECREATES ICONIC GENIE POSE AT 94When Fox News Digital asked the now 94-year-old about what it felt like to be a sex symbol, she replied, "I had no idea.""I never thought of [Jeannie] as sexual," she explained. "She was lovable because she was so honest and forthright and obviously devoted to her master. And she was learning. I enjoyed playing that part of it. She was learning everything about this time. She was 2,000 years old, which people seem to forget.""She was an entity she wasnt a real woman," Eden shared. "She was female, of course, but an entity, not a human. And thats your comedy right there. She felt she could be human, and of course, he knew she wasnt."But one thing Eden couldnt have anticipated was the publics fascination with her belly button or lack of one. The actress famously wore a pink two-piece with high-waisted, billowing pants and a crop top that concealed her navel."Mike Connolly [a columnist for The Hollywood Reporter] would come down to the set," Eden recalled. "He would tease me about how I didnt have a belly button because it never showed. Well, it did, because Id raise my arms and do all kinds of physical things, and of course, my belly button would peek out."But he enjoyed teasing me. He would poke me in the middle and say, I dont believe you have one! And then he started to write about it. And then guys all across the United States began to write about it."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I thought it was funny, but strange," she chuckled. "Suddenly, the standards and practices, or whatever they called it in the film industry, realized I had a belly button. Even the studio realized I had a belly button! But before that, no problem."Eden pointed out that no one at the studio initially decided to cover her navel until the buzz about her so-called disappearing act spread like wildfire."They then said I had to have the waist come up high," she said. "But not only that, I wore dancers pantyhose, which are pretty thick, plus a pair of underwear over that, and then the chiffon. And then there was silk inside. It was so funny. All I could do was laugh at the whole thing. And men would come down to the set just to stare at my belly. It was a lot of foolishness, but fun."Eden gave input on one thing about her midriff-baring costume."The color," she said. "Gwen Wakeling, an Oscar-winning costume designer, came to me and showed me her sketches. And of course, I loved them. Then she said, Whats your favorite color? I said, Well, it depends. Right now, its hot pink. And she went with pink. Im still so happy she did that."Looking back, Eden still has fond memories of bringing the show to life alongside Hagman, who died in 2012 at age 81.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"I was doing a film at Universal and by then, I already knew I got the Jeannie part," she recalled. "[Show creator] Sidney Sheldon called me one day and said, Would you mind doing this scene with this young man? Were thinking about him to play your master. I know they were testing another actor, but they didnt ask him to come meet me.""So, Larry came to me while I was working at Universal," she said. "We were in my dressing room, and we did the first scene of the pilot together there. In that scene, [Jeannie] just loves him and gives him big hugs. And of course, I played the part. It wasnt Barbara, it was Jeannie doing this. Well, several months later, Larry told me, You scared me! I didnt know what you were doing."For Eden, magic was in the making."I noticed our chemistry during the pilot, the first time I ever worked with him," she said. "I realized right away that it was going to work. He was so good, and I was pretty good myself. But we were on the same radio frequency, or whatever you want to call it. We understood each other as the characters. We understood each other. We enjoyed it.""He was a super sweet and kind man," Eden continued. "He was a little different from the rest of us. He marched to his own drum, which was fun because it was always pretty interesting. I loved him."Despite the success of "I Dream of Jeannie," Eden made clear there was no feud between her and Elizabeth Montgomery, who starred in the sitcom "Bewitched." Montgomery played Samantha Stephens, a charming witch attempting to live a normal suburban life with her mortal husband."I enjoyed being with her," said Eden. "We did not have a lot of time to talk or be girlfriends. Remember, we would be in the makeup department in the morning, getting ready for our scenes. We had to get to work. But she was always pleasant.""I Dream of Jeannie" aired for five seasons, from 1965 to 1970. The star said that over the years, she never felt Jeannies powerful presence overshadowed her Hollywood career.WATCH: ELVIS PRESLEY'S 1968 BORDELLO SCENE WAS CUT FOR BEING TOO RACY: DOC"I was always content and happy with her," she explained. "Even when I was doing Jeannie, I was lucky enough to still be doing other things. I opened the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. I went back to singing again.""When we had breaks shooting Jeannie, I would do another film in between and then go back. It was a long ping-pong. And Im so pleased that people still like her. I had no idea that the show would have the impact that its had all over the world.""Back then, I didnt think about being famous," she reflected. "I was just working. I didnt have time to sit back and say, I made it. I just didnt. You cant do that when youre working hard.""And I dont think there was one secret behind the shows success," said Eden. "I think its the combination of a really good idea, a terrific cast it just worked. And that magic doesnt always work. You can have very fine actors, but if the writing isnt right, so many things can go wrong. But we were lucky."Eden hasnt thought about what she would like to do next. Shes too busy staying active."I hope to accomplish whatever is thrown at me," she laughed. "I look forward to the next challenge."

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump on Saturday praised FBI Director Kash Patel for the remarkable speed in which the bureau identified and captured Charlie Kirks alleged assassin.Tyler Robinson, 22, was nabbed in his hometown of Washington, Utah, just 33 hours after he allegedly shot Kirk from a rooftop on the campus of Utah Valley University. The captured came after a frantic manhunt that began with only grainy images of the suspect's figure fleeing the scene..WHO IS TYLER ROBINSON? WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK'S SUSPECTED ASSASSIN"I am very proud of the FBI," Trump said, speaking exclusively with Fox News Digital. "Kashand everyone elsethey have done a great job."Officials shared with Fox News Digital new details of the timeline of the investigation into the identification and arrest of Tyler Robinson and the unusual hands-on role Patel played in the process.According to the FBI, Robinson was seen on the campus on Sept. 10, the day Kirk was shot, presumably conducting reconnaissance between 8:28 and 9:34 a.m. At 11:52 a.m., Robinson returned, climbed an exterior stairway to the roof of the Losee building, and took up a position at the highest level of the roof at 12:22 p.m., according to officials. He allegedly shot Kirk just a minute later.Robinson then lowered himself from the roof and dropped to the ground, authorities said. Two minutes after he allegedly shot Kirk, Robinson ran into a nearby wooded area, where the gun was later found.Local FBI was on the scene immediately after the shooting, and Patel arrived at around 5:30 p.m. local time on Sept. 11.TIMELINE OF CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATIONPatel was walked through the entire crime scene, and stood where Kirk was murdered. Patel walked each step the suspect took, according to sources familiar with the investigation.Patel also went to the rooftop where Robinson had allegedly perched and retraced his steps as he fled, including into the wooded area where the gun, a Mauser 30.06 rifle, was found.Patel personally directed agents as they processed evidence and prepared to send it to Quantico, ATF labs, or local labs. Sources told Fox News Digital that Patel then directed the evidence to be loaded onto a plane with initial forensics and evidence collected and sent it back to the FBI labs for processing.A law enforcement source told Fox News Digital that, typically, when evidence is collected in an investigation, an agent ships it to the labs. But the source said Patel directed that the evidence and fingerprints be sent back to Quantico via planetraveling back and forth from Utah collecting and delivering evidence."The DNA was being analyzed through the night because the director was there and he was directing all of this," the source told Fox News Digital. "He directed everyone and said Youre going to get the evidence out now."The source added: "The evidence was getting back to the labs in rapid-speed. Thats why he was caught so quickly."Fox News Digital also learned that Patel, against all recommendations, demanded the video footage of the suspect be released to the public.A law enforcement source familiar told Fox News Digital that Robinsons father, who ultimately turned him in to authorities, told the FBI that he recognized his son in that released video.

Jason Aldean is paying tribute to Charlie Kirk in a special way.The country singer performed a show in Detroit, Michigan on Sept. 11, the day after Kirk was assassinated during a speaking engagement in Orem, Utah. At one point during the concert, he took a moment to speak about Kirk and the impact he had on his life and career."An amazing person by the name of Charlie Kirk was murdered yesterday in Utah," he told fans, as seen in video captured by an audience member.CHARLIE KIRK REMEMBERED BY COUNTRY MUSIC STARS AS ONE OF THE GREATEST YOUNG PATRIOTSCheers erupted at the mention of Kirk's name, and Aldean continued to explain that he knew Kirk personally and had the opportunity to meet with him multiple times over the past few years."One of the best people ever," he said of the late Turning Point USA founder. "This is not the guy you go after, is what I'm trying to say."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

That's not what we're about here."Aldean went on to talk about his 2023 single, "Try That in a Small Town." At the time of its release, the song and its accompanying music video earned a bit of backlash, enough that the video was pulled out of the Country Music Television (CMT) network's rotation."I remember when we put this song out, people like Charlie Kirk were some of the first people to come up and go, Thats what it's about. This country coming together, calling out the bulls--- when we see it, trying to get everything back on track,'" Aldean said Thursday."This guy wanted nothing more than what was best for all of us, and for our kids moving forward," he continued."Charlie is a guy that's going to be very, very much missed, and this is something that his legacy is going to live on forever with Turning Point [USA] and what he's done with only 31 years on this planet, it's amazing."He went on to play "Try That in a Small Town" in honor of Kirk.Following Kirk's death Wednesday, Aldean also paid tribute to him with an Instagram post.

We might have lost Charlie today but what he has done will live on forever. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, kids and the entire Kirk family."In 2023, Aldean told Fox News Digital that his controversial song resonated with many people, apparently including Kirk, because they were "tired" of living in a country that, in his opinion, has turned into the "Wild West.""I just think there's a lot of people out there that just want to go to work and come home, raise their kids, feel comfortable about sending their kids to school and knowing that they're going to come home," Aldean said. "Or let their kids go to a movie on a weekend and not worry about something crazy happening to them in the parking lot or inside a movie theater."He continued, "It's just we're kind of living in the Wild West right now, and I think people are just kind of tired of it. There's just constant chaos and something going on. Somebody is always pissed off about something, and it's just one of those songs where there's a lot of people that could relate to that because they're just sick of it."

Vogues cover shootwith Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is undeniably beautiful. Cowboy hats, boots and sweeping landscapes an aesthetic they frame as fashions "love affair with the great outdoors." But the spread says less about Western Americana than it does about Vogue itself: once the gold standard of cultural authority, now reduced to chasing trends long after the moment has already arrived.Western style isnt new. Conservative women have been playing with Americana for years, treating it as both a fun fashion trend and a nod to the deeper roots of family, heritage and tradition. Prairie dresses, quilted patchwork, working denim, classic cowboy boots these werent dreamed up in a Manhattan editorial meeting. They were embraced and elevated by women on the right whoVoguehas stubbornly chosen to ignore.The magazine famouslydidn'tfeature Melania Trump on its cover, despite her being one of the most glamorous first ladies in modern history. That pattern of exclusion has been obvious to women like me for years.JD VANCE SOUNDS OFF ON SYDNEY SWEENEY AD UPROAR, MOCKS LEFT'S 'NAZI' STRATEGYBy the timeVoguedecided Tecovas were chic, mine were already well-worn. When patriotism was still looked down on by the cultural mainstream, Americana was already evolving beyond utility into a broader aesthetic. Isabel Brown donned a denim jumpsuit on the cover of her latest book,"The End of the Alphabet: How Gen Z Can Save America." Brett Cooper lives it daily on her farm. Together, young conservative women have been shaping this fashion revival while legacy media looked the other way. That editorial blind spot is part of a larger pattern:Voguedoesnt want to acknowledge the cultural contributions of conservative women until it can repackage them on its own terms.Meanwhile, conservative creators have built their own ecosystem.

Meanwhile, Jayme FranklinsThe Conservateurintroduced abright red western bootand "jadore cowboys" hat years ago, beatingVogueto Western chic by a mile.The message is clear: if elite institutions wont acknowledge us, well build our own and often, were faster and bolder in the process.Now, even mainstream outlets that once ignored conservatives are taking notice.The Washington Postprofiled CJ Pearson at the so-called "cruel kids table."The New York Postcovered Raquel DeBonos "Make America Hot Again" parties. These moments prove that conservative energy isnt just political its cultural and stylish. What started as a subculture the fashion press dismissed is increasingly too visible to ignore.Thats what makesVoguesJackson Hole cover so striking. Its not groundbreaking its belated.
