Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., accused Mike Waltz of displaying "profound cowardice" at the former national security advisor's confirmation hearing to represent the U.S. at the U.N. Tuesday, amid questions about the Signal group chat that his team had set up to discuss strikes against the Houthis in March.Booker, who refused to ask any questions, said Waltz failed to take accountability when other lawmakers on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee asked him about what has been called "Signalgate."While members of the Trump administration have said no classified information was disclosed in the chat, which mistakenly included a journalist, Democrats have claimed that certain details were classified and jeopardized the safety of the troops involved in the strikes."It compounds what I think is disqualifying about you for this position. It also, to me, just shows profound cowardice," Booker said. "You should step up right now.""I just watched with great disappointment that even after weeks, if not months of reflection, you couldn't sit before this committee and take some responsibility and talk constructively about what's learned," Booker said.Waltz faced questions earlier from Sens. Chris Coons, D-Conn, and Tim Kaine, D-Va., on his involvement in the group chat, where a journalist from the Atlantic was included along with other top administration officials such as Vice President JD Vance,Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.SENATE DEMOCRATS PREDICTING BRUTAL UN AMBASSADOR CONFIRMATION HEARING FOR MIKE WALTZDuring their questioning, Waltz maintained that no classified information was shared in the group chat, and said no disciplinary action was taken following a White House investigation. The Pentagons inspector generals investigation is currently ongoing."I have nothing but deep disappointment in what I consider a failure of leadership on your part. God, America needs now more than ever forget the partisanship just people to step up and show heart and integrity and honor," Booker said. "When you lie, defer, deflect, demean and degrade journalists, to me it's absolutely unacceptable. I have no questions. I cannot support your nomination. I think you've shown a failure of leadership at a time that America especially needs people of honor to stand up and show what leadership actually is."Waltz, who before his time at the National Security Council previously served as a U.S. congressman from Florida and is a retired Army National Guard colonel and former Green Beret, challenged Bookers statement.NEXT US NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR? HERE'S WHOM TRUMP MIGHT PICK TO REPLACE WALTZ"I appreciate the men and women that I've had to lead in combat," Waltz said. "And I think the last thing they would call me is a coward."Waltz and Hegseth both faced scrutiny for their involvement in the Signal chat that Waltzs team created, where members of the Trump administration discussed strike plans against the Houthis.In March, Waltz claimed he bore "full responsibility" for the Signal group chat, and the Trump administration has historically maintained no classified information was shared over the chats. The Atlantic published the full exchange of messages, which revealed that Hegseth included certain attack details such as specific aircraft and times of the strikes.President Donald Trump announced Waltz's departure from heading up the National Security Council at the White House on May 1, and hours later announced the former Florida congressmans nomination to represent the U.S. at the U.N.Waltz could not be reached for comment by Fox News Digital.MIKE WALTZ, OTHER NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL STAFFERS OUT IN LATEST TRUMP PURGE FOLLOWING SIGNAL CHAT LEAK

Constitutional legal scholar Randy Barnett admonished Democrats' rhetoric claiming democracy is at risk under the Trump administration when "the biggest constitutional scandal in US history" played out under the Biden administration with the use of the autopen."For all the talk of a constitutional crisis' or threats to our democracy having the executive branch systematically run by unknown subordinates of a mentally incompetent president is the biggest constitutional scandal in US history its called into question the legality of official acts done in his name but without proper authority," Barnett posted to X Monday."Southern secession was a constitutional crisis," Barnett added in a follow-up message Tuesday. "This is a constitutional scandal."Barnett, a Georgetown University law professor who serves as the director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution, was referring to an interview former President Joe Biden conducted with the New York Times defending his use of an autopen. Biden said he orally approved a long list of clemency and pardon actions at the end of his tenure, but that his aides used the autopen to officiate the actions.BIDEN CHIEF OF STAFF REPORTEDLY GAVE APPROVAL FOR AUTOPEN PARDONS ON FINAL DAY IN OFFICEAmid the Biden autopen controversy, Democratic lawmakers and left-wing media pundits have continued slamming Trump as a threat to democracy which was a common talking point during the election cycle and claiming his actions as president, such as deporting illegal immigrants and revoking visa privileges for some foreign students, have thrown the U.S. into a constitutional crisis.Biden told the Times that he was aware of every pardon ahead of leaving office in 2024, which included clemency and commutation actions related to 2,500 nonviolent drug offenders in his final weeks in office alone."I made every decision," Biden told the Times in a phone interview earlier in July that was published Sunday. He added that staff used the autopen for the pardons and commutations "because there were a lot of them.""Mr. Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed," the Times reported. "Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence."BIDEN DEFENDS CONTROVERSIAL AUTOPEN USE FOR MASS CLEMENCY DECISIONS IN NYT INTERVIEW: 'A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE'Biden also pardoned Anthony Fauci, former chief medical advisor to the president; former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley; and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots. Less than half an hour before Trump became president, Biden also pardoned members of his family, including his brothers James B. Biden and Francis W. Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens and brother-in-law John T. Owens.Autopen signatures are produced by a machine, as opposed to an authentic, handwritten signature.The conservative Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project first investigated the Biden administration's use of an autopen earlier in 2025 and found that the same signature was on a bevvy of executive orders and other official documents, while Bidens signature on the document announcing his departure from the 2024 race varied from the apparent machine-produced signature.The use of the autopen follows years of mounting concern that Biden's mental acuity and health were deteriorating, which hit a fever pitch during the 2024 campaign cycle following the president's disastrous debate performance against Trump. Biden ultimately dropped out of the race on July 21, 2024, and endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris to run in his place. Since reclaiming the Oval Office, Trump has balked at his predecessor's use of the autopen, claiming Biden's staff allegedly used the pen to sign off on presidential actions unbeknownst to Biden."I guarantee you he knew nothing about what he was signing, I guarantee you," Trump said Monday when asked about Biden's interview with the Times.TRUMP RESPONDS TO BIDEN DISMISSAL OF AUTOPEN PROBE, SAYS HE DIDN'T KNOW 'WHAT WAS GOING ON'Biden's interview follows Trump sending a memo to the Department of Justice in June directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether Biden administration aides conspired to deceive the public about his mental state, and simultaneously used an autopen to sign key presidential actions.TRUMP ORDERS ATTORNEY GENERAL TO INVESTIGATE BIDEN'S AUTOPEN USE AMID COGNITIVE DECLINE CONCERNS"In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden's aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden's cognitive decline and assert Article II authority," Trump wrote in his letter. "This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history. The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts."Biden said in his New York Times interview that Trump and other Republicans are "liars" for claiming he was incapacitated as president and that his aides used the pen for official presidential actions."Theyre liars. They know it. They know, for certain. I mean, this is look, what they, theyve had a pretty good thing going here. Theyve done so badly. Theyve lied so consistently about almost everything theyre doing. The best thing they can do is try to change the focus and focus on something else. And this is a I think thats what this is about," he said.

Former Democratic New York governor Andrew Cuomo is not giving up after losing the New York Citys Democratic mayoral primary to young democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, as he believes his opponent will cause the city's demise.In an interview published Tuesday with New York Magazine, the former governor admitted his mistakes that led to him losing to Mamdani last month, and laid out how he is still the best option to beat the Democratic nominee. He argued that if he doesnt beat the democratic socialist, New York City will suffer catastrophe.Cuomo told the outlet that Mamdanis anti-Israel views and socialist policies "would mean death for the City of New York."CUOMO, ADAMS TRADE SHOTS OVER WHO SHOULD DROP OUT IN RACE AGAINST MAMDANI FOR NYC MAYORThe former three-term governor of the state lost the Democratic mayoral primary to Mamdani in June by double digits. However, he is continuing his run for mayor as an independent candidate in a field that includes current Mayor Eric Adams, independent candidate Jim Walden, and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani is the current favorite in the crowded field."Only 13% of New Yorkers voted in the June primary. The general election is in November, and I am in it to win it," Cuomo declared in a video posted to social media. He charged that Mamdani "offers slick slogans but no real solutions."In his NY Mag interview, the former mayor mentioned the mistakes he believed cost him the primary."I was not as aggressive as I should be, which is really ironic because my whole life people have been saying about me, Oh, hes too aggressive, too combative, pushes too hard. And then in this campaign, its Im not aggressive enough, which is actually true," he said. "And it was just a mistake, and its not a mistake Im going to make again."JOY REID FLOATS SPECULATION THAT HER RACE, 'ANXIETY' SURROUNDING TRUMP PLAYED ROLE IN MSNBC FIRINGDespite losing to the democratic socialist, Cuomo viewed polls showing him to be the strongest candidate to take on Mamdani in the general election, the outlet said, noting those numbers convinced him to continue running.Cuomo stated that while he thinks Mamdani is good at connecting with people, he doesnt have actual solutions to the citys problems.Cuomo skewered Mamdanis housing policies, for example, stating he has "no real answer." He slammed the candidates rent-freezing policy proposal, saying the policies that would work involve building affordable housing, lowering taxes, and cutting government.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"That is really the only truth.

Chris Cuomo said on his podcast Tuesday that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is a "symbol of the demise" of the Democrats and urged the party to move on from her.Cuomo warned Democrats that backing candidates like Ocasio-Cortez who prioritize the needs of "the few over the many" will ultimately lead to the partys downfall, calling attention given to her a "huge f-----g mistake."The former CNN anchor stated that the current meaning of "woke" is about "weighing the needs and wants of the few over the many," and that the Democrats are making that mistake once again by legitimizing the New York City congresswoman.CHRIS CUOMO SLAMS CHRIS MURPHY FOR 'CHEAP SHOT' SUGGESTION THAT TRUMP FUNDING CUTS PLAYED PART IN TEXAS FLOODS"AOC is a major perpetrator and symbol of the demise of the Democratic Party by going too far down the road of favoring the few over the many," he said.Later on in the show, Cuomo continued his criticisms of Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist, warning Democrats that spotlighting her is aiding the rise of dangerous ideologies into the mainstream."I think you're making a mistake paying attention to AOC and this new deference to radical left and radical fundamentalist and radical Islamist sympathies. I think it's a huge f-----g mistake," he asserted.Cuomo reiterated that Democrats are "once again valuing the few over the many," and warned that the "pickle" they are getting themselves into by supporting Ocasio-Cortez may bring backlash upon them like they've never seen before.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"If you [Democrats] think trans sports got you in a pickle, you're about to be in a whole bucket of brine," he cautioned.His brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, is currently challenging another democratic socialist, Zohran Mamdani, in the New York City mayoral race. Mamdani beat Cuomo out for the Democratic nomination last month, but Cuomo is still running in the general election.Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville seems to be on the same page as Chris Cuomo, calling out Democrats in April for allowing Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., to define the party.Carville emphasized the party's deep talent pool that they should be showcasing to help redefine its identity, rather than the ultra-progressive platform that representatives like Ocasio-Cortez promote."There's truly depth and talent in the Democratic Party and the faster that we can get them on the field and people seeing them, and the sooner we can get people like Bernie Sanders and AOC not defining who the party is, the better off we're going to be," Carville argued.Fox News Digital reached out to Ocasio-Cortez's office for comment.

Cleveland Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins allegedly struck a woman in the mouth with a "closed fist" during a physical altercation that led to his arrest in Florida earlier this month, according to new details.Judkins, who was drafted by the Browns with the 36th overall pick following a standout season atOhio State, was arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department over the weekend and charged with battery and domestic violence following an incident that occurred with a romantic partner on July 7.The couple began arguing after flying into Fort Lauderdale Airport, the NFL Network reported, citing a police report.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWSThe woman claimed that Judkins was seemingly upset over text messages that he received from family members while the pair was waiting for their luggage at baggage claim. The police report did not detail what was said in the text messages, but the woman told law enforcement that she was attempting to dispel whatever was said in the messages.After getting in their rental car outside the airport, the woman claimed that the argument turned physical."The victim stated that the defendant then punched her in the mouth/chin area with a closed fist," the police report read, noting that the woman still had visible bruising on her chin area.BROWNS ROOKIE QUINSHON JUDKINS ARRESTED IN FLORIDA FOR ALLEGED DOMESTIC VIOLENCEThe argument continued in the vehicle, and according to the report, the woman at one point sat in the back of the car."The victim stated that the defendant turned around while he was driving and struck her additional times in the left arm and leg," the report stated, noting additional bruising in those areas.The woman contacted the police days later on July 12, telling law enforcement that she did not report the alleged incident immediately because she "felt bad due to the recent success and career of the defendant."Judkins was released on Sunday after he posted a $2,500 bond.

Former President Barack Obama is urging Democrats to stop complaining and get involved, telling party members dissatisfied with its direction to "just toughen up."But one conservative podcaster says she doubts the younger generation will respond to that advice."These new young Democrats coming in, they said actually something very similar to what Obama said," Fox News contributor and political commentator Brett Cooper told "Americas Newsroom" on Tuesday."They said it's time to start actually having solutions and to stop whining about what Republicans are doing and actually try to compete with them."DEM STRATEGIST BEHIND RACY ATTACK ADS SAYS PARTY DOESN'T NEED LIBERAL ROGAN BUT DOES NEED TO WIN THE CULTURECooper noted a rising sense of frustration among Gen Z progressives who feel the Democratic Party isnt doing enough to contend with Republicans. Its a similar sentiment shared by former President Barack Obama during a fundraiser with Democratic donors last week."I think its going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And its going to require Democrats to just toughen up," said Obama, according to excerpts obtained by CNN."Dont tell me youre a Democrat, but youre kind of disappointed right now, so youre not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something."Many younger Democrats have launched primary campaigns nationwide, looking to dethrone establishment Democrats.I'M A YOUNG DEMOCRAT AND I'VE GOT TO ADMIT MY PARTY IS LOSING 2025 WHILE LOOKING AT 2028"One of the things that they've [Democrats] accidentally done right is infuriating young people," argued Cooper, who said upsetting Gen Z voters may have energized the base more."Because Gen Z, as we know, they are very emotional, especially on the left. They want to be involved."There are a slew of young Democratic hopefuls looking to unseat older lawmakers. 25-year-old social media influencer and progressive activist Deja Foxx is among those young candidates with a chance at claiming a House seat.In an upset victory, she was able to win the Democratic Partys congressional primary for an Arizona House seat.

They saw what worked with JD Vance, of having authentic leaders who are speaking directly to the people, who are big on social media but actually feel like they're speaking directly to the public rather than just having a [communications team] run everything," she said.Its that online authenticity, Cooper said, that could lead younger Democrats to pose a larger threat in elections moving forward.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

A bipartisan duo bent on imposing strict sanctions against Russia are giving President Donald Trump some runway after his latest, hardened stance against Moscow.Senators Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., have pressed for stringent sanctions against Russia and its energy trade partners, and they have been working to refine their bill to meet requirements from the White House that give Trump more flexibility.The bill had been sidelined by congressional Republicans push to pass the presidents "big, beautiful bill" and had been eyed for a vote possibly by the end of the month.RUSSIA SANCTIONS BILL GAINS STEAM AS WHITE HOUSE APPEARS TO CHANGE TONE ON PUTINBut Trumps announcement that he would levy 100% tariffs against Moscow unless Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to end the war with Ukraine has likely again stalled that plan, and the bipartisan pair isn't mad about it."It sounds like right now the president is going to attempt to do some of this on his own," Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters. "If at some point the president concludes that it makes sense and adds value and leverage that he needs in those negotiations to move the bill, then well do it. Well be ready to go."WHITE HOUSE TAKES INTEREST IN PROPOSED RUSSIAN SANCTIONS AS UKRAINE WAR PEACE TALKS DRAG ONThe presidents warning came after he agreed to sell weapons to NATO, which, in turn, would be sent to Ukraine to resupply their dwindling stocks."We're pleased that the president sort of buys into that way of doing business. We'll continue to work with the White House to see if we can provide him a tool that Congress has been working on," Graham said. Their bill would slap up to 500% tariffs on countries buying energy products from Moscow in a bid to kneecap Russias war machine by imposing duties on oil, gas, uranium and other exports, largely purchased by China and India, which account for nearly three-quarters of Moscows energy business.MASSIVE RUSSIA SANCTIONS PACKAGE STALLS AS TRUMP PUSHES FOR UKRAINE PEACE TALKSBut that doesnt mean that work on the bill has ceased. Graham noted that having Congress blessing "is good for the president" and could help him legally and politically."But between the weapons flowing and sanctions through tariffs on the table, I think we can say today was a game changer that we've been waiting on and hoping for, and on day 51 you want to know what happens," Graham said. "Call the Ayatollah."Blumenthal lauded Trumps shift and gave him credit "for seeing through the mocking and flouting by Vladimir Putin." He argued that the bill, which has dozens of co-sponsors in the Senate and backing by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had already made an impact and noted that Trumps move was like a "hammer." "Our bill is a sledgehammer," Blumenthal said.

What if the answer to cleaner energy was right out on the waves? A new green energy system is set to change how we capture clean power, and it all starts with the ocean. French startup Seaturns has designed technology that taps into the natural motion of the sea. Their water pendulum turbines are built to last, require little maintenance, and turn rolling waves into electricity. Unlike other renewable options, ocean waves offer a steady, often predictable source of power.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM/NEWSLETTER.Here's how the water pendulum wave converter works. These large, yellow, floating cylinders pitch back and forth with each passing wave. Inside, the motion causes a column of water to swing like a pendulum, compressing air between two chambers and driving a turbine that generates electricity. This constant back-and-forth movement happens entirely within the hull, protecting components from corrosive saltwater and turbulent seas.Unlike older wave converters that rely on exposed mechanical parts, Seaturns' design is simple, reliable, and self-contained. Backed by organizations such as Bpifrance, Horizon Europe, and marine research institute Ifremer, the project has drawn support from across France's public and private sectors.Seaturns recently completed 18 months of successful offshore testing using a prototype built near Brest, France. Built at quarter-scale, the test demonstrated the system's durability and energy efficiency under harsh marine conditions. This confirms the power-producing concept as a promising alternative to traditional energy technologies.Historically, ocean power projects have struggled due to their complexity, cost, and vulnerability to damage. Seaturns' design addresses these weaknesses head-on. A water pendulum is driven by the horizontal motion of wave surges, allowing it to function efficiently even in shallower waters where wave height is limited. This enables performance in shallower depths, bringing the system closer to shore. Its compact size, modular construction, and simplified deployment process make it attractive for coastal cities, offshore industries, and island communities alike.And unlike wind or solar power, which can fluctuate with weather and daylight, wave converters can generate energy more consistently, though typically at lower output levels, even when skies are cloudy or winds are still.Wave energy offers enormous untapped potential. According to some estimates, global oceans could theoretically produce more than 2 terawatts of renewable electricity using wave technology. That's enough to power a significant portion of national grids, potentially up to a third of the United States' energy demand, if fully harnessed, though real-world output would depend on many local and technical factors. Harnessing even part of Alaska's extensive coastline could significantly reduce fossil fuel reliance in remote communities.Recent academic studies have highlighted the promise of pendulum-based wave energy converters. Their ability to deliver direct mechanical-to-electrical conversion, combined with structural simplicity, makes them a viable path forward for clean ocean power.Speaking of power, want to reduce your energy bills while staying cool? Check out these smart ways to beat the heat atCyberguy.com/KeepCool.Also, explore the latest innovations in smart thermostat technology for your homeCyberguy.com/SmartThermostats.Some people point out that wave energy still has its hurdles, like dealing with inconsistent wave patterns and currently lower power output compared to wind or solar farms. Even so, the Seaturns system could be a real breakthrough. Its tough design, simple upkeep, and environmental benefits make it a strong contender for future energy grids. As we keep searching for reliable and sustainable power, wave energy is starting to stand out. Now, the big question is whether creative ideas like water pendulums can help make wave power a key player in the global shift to clean energy.Learn how to save on electricity at home atCyberguy.com/SaveonPower.Would you support the installation of wave energy systems like the Seaturns turbines near your local beach?

From their deteriorated, now unrecognizable, homes, survivors of the devastating flooding earlier this month in Kerrville, Texas, are seeking faith in the face of tragedy as the community rebuilds their livelihoods together."We can't measure the support that we're trying to offer somebody just by letting them cry on our shoulders," said Capt. Juan Gomez, III, corps officer for the Salvation Army in Texarkana. "This is not something I can measure for some people."This past Friday, Gomez received a call asking if he could step away from his duties in Texarkana, more than 460 miles away, to support those in Kerrville. Without thinking, he agreed and served temporarily as the Emotional Care Officer, providing support to survivors.HOW BELIEF HELPS US ENDURE NATURAL DISASTERS"We're talking about loss of life, we're talking about loss of homes. So these are people who need to find a new norm, their everyday life has been completely disrupted," he said.It is hard to label this as another natural disaster when it is much more than that, as it does not begin to encapsulate the heartbroken families all through Kerrville. One of those families is the Boltons.Bud Bolton, a Kerrville resident, lost his home. However, it wasnt until he recalled his fellow neighbors being washed away that he started to choke on his own words, resisting his tears, trying not to let them overtake him, in a Fox Weather report.Licensed marriage and family therapist Keneth Howard explained how trauma responses could vary. Families who lost a child will have different grieving processes than those who lost their home or a car. However, having faith allows one to push their day a little better."Some people have resiliency that will allow them to be anchored into a faith, into a community," he said. "They're going to weather that differently than when people have none of those resiliencies, and they're going to suffer."Howard said access to trained professionals, especially in trauma-focused methods like EMDR, can also reduce the risk of PTSD. Moreover, as a Christian, he emphasized that organizations with a religious outlook, such as the Salvation Army, will build strong "interpersonal connections" and lead communities to heal through their trauma.FAITH BRINGS LIGHT TO DEVASTATED TEXAS TOWN AFTER DEADLY FLOODING DISASTERBud Boltons son, Ashton, has been reflecting on the tangible relationship that therapeutic and religious outlets have been providing to those in Kerrville and how they intertwine."I think it's good that we're having therapists reaching out towards us, but I believe that it all dwells within us and our spirituality and being able to handle our problems over to the good Lord," Ashton said.Ashton said he feels that if we try to fight our problems alone, we're not getting anywhere. Just having a shoulder to cry on to release the weight of the grief goes a long way. For him, all it took was a chat with a distant relative and a hug."He didn't allow me to bear the burden that I found. He didn't allow me to do that alone," Ashton said.Gomez can relate to Ashton, because he's experienced this.In August 1999, Hurricane Brett took over Texas, cultivating winds that reached over 194 miles per hour and causing $15 million in damage. Gomez, 16, witnessed firsthand the devastation it had on his community. When his grandmother encouraged him to reach out for support, it was his first interaction with an organization like the Salvation Army.As he was introduced to the world of public service, Gomez was surprised. He expected to be bombarded with the typical "How are you doing?" a half-hearted question that feels impossible to answer after a devastating disaster. But that question was never mentioned. Instead, he was met with a genuineness that inspired him to stay strong."They gave me the support I needed to know that I still could have value in my day and to push through and to find a way to make it to the next part of my life," he said. At the age of sixteen, I knew what it meant to serve."Today, he implements that lesson and uses the philosophy that theres no blanket solution for grief. While some people may need a two-minute conversation, others could need 20. He seeks to meet people at the root of their pain, not with answers, but with presence."What we're trying to do is make sure that in the moment, we're trying to provide some relief and some efforts because at the end of the day, we understand they still have to go home to whatever they're now calling home and whatever their new norm is," Gomez said.Ashton understands this and sees the potential it can have on Kerville's current state of brokenness.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"I mean, we just need hospitality between one another and generosity, and that's almost it," he said. "Just being a family is all we need."Howard explained this sentiment in one word: Shalom. Leaning into the more traditional Hebrew route, it brings about a specific kind of peace that comes from being deeply connected not only to God and ourselves, but to those around us."In a time of trauma when Shalom is broken, when relationships are broken, when people are no longer connected in a way that they were, we suffer," he said. That communal piece, that community piece, that faith piece allows us to live as God created us to live, deeply connected."

EXCLUSIVE: Jewish leaders and advocates have criticized 33-year-old socialist Zohran Mamdani since he secured the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City, particularly for his refusal to condemn the phrase "Globalize the intifada.""If Zohran Mamdani is elected, expect a Jewish exodus out of New York City," Yuval David, an actor, filmmaker and Jewish activist and advisor, told Fox News Digital.David, who recently moved from New York City to Washington, D.C., said more Jewish New Yorkers are thinking about leaving the city due to the rise of antisemitism. New York City is home to the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel.According to data from New York State's Office of Budget Policy and Analysis, "In 2023, nearly 44 percent of all recorded hate crime incidents and 88 percent of religious-based hate crimes targeted Jewish victims, the largest share of all such crimes." In New York City alone, anti-Jewish hate crimes rose by 81% between 2023 and 2024, according to the NYPD's crime report.MAMDANI'S FAILURE TO WALK BACK THESE POSITIONS COULD CAUSE RECKONING IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY: 'FIVE-ALARM WARNING'"We've seen it with Jewish businesses being attacked, we've seen heightened security at Jewish synagogues and Jewish schools, and this will just continue to spread at unprecedented levels with Mamdani," David warned.THE PLOT TO STOP MAMDANI: DEMOCRATS SCRAMBLE TO BLOCK FAR-LEFT TAKEOVER IN NEW YORKDuring the primary campaign, Mamdani's refusal to condemn the phrase "Globalize the intifada" and recognize Israel as a Jewish state triggered accusations that he was antisemitic. Mamdani has repeatedly denied those claims and affirmed his commitment to condemning the rise of antisemitism in New York City.But David said Mamdani's sponsorship of a controversial bill, "Not on Our Dime! Ending New York Funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act," in the New York State Assembly undermines his sentiment.David said the bill would "prohibit New York-based nonprofits from funding Israeli organizations, which basically means every major Jewish organization, because every major Jewish organization is connected to Israel. So this is a specific target on Jewish organizations that support Israel under the guise of regulating foreign military aid."The Jewish advocate explained that this bill is in the "name of being anti-Israel" but actually targets the Jewish community."Trying to prevent any organization from being connected to Israel is going to be to the detriment of every Jewish community in New York City," David said.Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding in New York City and founding senior rabbi of The Hampton Synagogue, explained, "Anti-Zionism is the latest form of antisemitism, and anti-Zionism denies Jews the right to self-defense. Anti-Zionism denies the historical connection between the Jewish people and the land of Israel."While anti-Zionism has become a rejection of Israel's war in Gaza among the pro-Palestinian protests that have erupted at Columbia University, and other college campuses across the country, David described Zionism as a "nationalist movement.""Anti-Zionism is the latest form of antisemitism, and antisemitism would trigger a mass exodus of Jews out of New York if we were not successful in identifying and supporting the candidate to defeat Mamdani," Schneier explained.Schneier called himself a "great supporter of Andrew Cuomo," the former New York governor who has decided to run as an independent in the mayoral election after losing to Mamdani in the primary last month. The rabbi also said he has hosted Mayor Eric Adams at his congregation.And David said Cuomo, Adams and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa "are all allies to the Jewish community." But both Jewish leaders said they are worried about these candidates splitting the vote, benefiting Mamdani."In the face of a candidate who is an extremist or fanatic, antisemitism and socialist, we must raise our voices in screaming protests, and moderation is simply not enough in terms of how we must respond, and how the Jewish community must respond to this existential threat," Schneier said.When asked if there was anything Mamdani could do to ease the concerns of Jewish New Yorkers, David was clear: "Drop out."Fox News Digital reached out to the Mamdani campaign for a response but did not immediately hear back.
