Artificial intelligence is no longer a niche tool for tech labs or science-fiction thrillers. Its now the battleground where the future of American power, prosperity, and freedom will be decided. With the release of "Winning the AI Race: Americas AI Action Plan," the Trump administration is rightfully treating this moment as the 21st-century equivalent of the space race or the nuclear age.This bold strategy outlines over 90 policy actions that span three key pillars: Accelerating Innovation, Building American AI Infrastructure, and Leading in International Diplomacy and Security. Each of these pillars sends a clear message to the world: America intends to leadnot follow on artificial intelligence.And we must. This is a race we cant afford to lose.DETAILS OF TRUMP'S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED AI PLAN REVEALED BY WHITE HOUSE AHEAD OF MAJOR SPEECHThe Trump administrations plan does what Washington too often fails to do: it combines vision with action. From fast-tracking permits for critical data centers and chip fabrication plants, to expanding the skilled trades workforce needed to maintain those facilities, the plan hits both high-tech and firsthand realities.Crucially, the plan calls for exporting secure, full-stack American AI packageshardware, software, models, applications and standardsto trusted allies. Thats smart policy. In a world where China exports authoritarian surveillance technology, America must counter with liberty-based alternatives.And most refreshingly, the plan defends free speech. It mandates that federal procurement contracts only go to developers of large language models that are free from ideological censorship. Thats a huge win for constitutional values in a time when Big Tech algorithms increasingly silence dissent.LEE ZELDIN: TRUMP'S EPA CLEARING THE REGULATORY PATH FOR AMERICA TO DOMINATE THE GLOBAL AI REVOLUTIONThe optimism in this action plan is well-foundedbut incomplete. As foreign policy analysts Matan Chorev and Joel Predd recently warned in their Foreign Policy article, the U.S. must also assume the worst about artificial intelligenceespecially artificial general intelligence (AGI). Thats the version of AI that can perform at or above human levels across a wide range of tasks. Unlike nuclear weapons, AGI wont announce itself with a mushroom cloud. It may slip quietly into our systems, our economy and even our military decision-makingwithout a clear warning shot. The nightmare scenario? A rogue AI, either built by an enemy nation or evolving beyond human control, triggering economic collapse or catastrophic warfare. Thats why the U.S. must not only pursue victory in AI, but vigilance. Planning for worst-case scenarios isn't fearmongering its common sense. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us what happens when leaders fail to prepare for known risks. With AI, we may not get a second chance. What happens if a U.S. company suddenly claims to have developed AGI and asks for national security protections access to classified data, regulatory exemptions and federal backing? What if China gets there first? AMERICA HAS THE POWER TO LEAD THE AI REVOLUTION AND THE LEADERSHIP TO MAKE IT HAPPENThe Biden-era playbook of strategic ambiguity and global appeasement wont cut it. America needs break-glass protocols: clear, tested plans to respond to AI emergencieswhether cyberattacks, misinformation campaigns or autonomous systems going rogue.This requires massive coordination across the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, our intelligence community and private industry. The federal government must build the analytical muscle to separate hype from real breakthroughsand act fast when a threat emerges.Advanced AI attacks may not come with a digital return address. Whether an attack comes from Beijing, a terrorist network or a self-replicating algorithm, our cyber defenses must be able to detect, contain and recover without waiting for attribution.That means hardening critical infrastructure, isolating vulnerable data centers and ensuring military continuity of operations in a high-tech crisis. These arent science-fiction concernstheyre strategic imperatives.HOUSE BIPARTISAN BILL DIRECTS NSA TO CREATE 'AI SECURITY PLAYBOOK' AMID CHINESE TECH RACEThe Trump administration's emphasis on exporting U.S. technology to allies is criticalbut we must also export American values. Freedom. Accountability. Innovation with restraint. Our allies want alternatives to Chinas surveillance-driven tech regime. America can lead that coalitionbut only if we speak as clearly about ethics as we do about engineering. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONDavid Sacks, the White Houses AI and crypto czar, put it plainly: "To win the AI race, the U.S. must lead in innovation, infrastructure, and global partnerships. At the same time, we must center American workers and avoid Orwellian uses of AI."Hes right. Victory in AI is not just about lines of code its about preserving what it means to be human in an age of machines.Winning the AI Race is a historic first step. It champions free markets, American jobs, national strength and liberty-based governance in the AI era. But we must not mistake ambition for immunity.America needs a dual-track strategy: drive innovation with urgency and prepare for disaster with equal urgency. Our adversaries wont wait. Neither will the technology. We canand mustlead the world into the AI future. But lets do it with eyes wide open, grounded in our values and ready for anything.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM ROBERT MAGINNIS

A new film company with ties to the tech and defense world is on a mission to reignite patriotism in Hollywood.The backers of the new project, called Founders Films,believe there's a growing appetite among audiences for bold stories that inspire and celebrate the American spirit. But they say that content has become increasingly rare in mainstream entertainment."Movies have become more ideological, more cautious, and less entertaining," the company wrote in a pitch to investors, first reported by Semafor. "Large segments of American and international viewers are underserved. Production costs have soared and sales are flagging."The new studio aims to fill that gap by producing a range of content from historical dramas to big-budget blockbusters that celebrates American greatness, ingenuity and heroism. The commercial success of films like "Top Gun: Maverick" and "Oppenheimer" and series such as "Yellowstone" show that audiences are hungry for these types of stories, sources close to the project told Fox News Digital.COMEDIAN SAYS AMERICAN PRIDE IS BACK: 'IT FEELS LIKE WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO IS PUTTING AMERICA FIRST'While "unapologetically pro-American," Founders Films stresses that its mission is not partisan. Rather, it wants to make compelling films with a broad appeal.The project is already attracting significant interest from investors and collaborators, the sources said. One project has already been sold to a major studio. The company hopes to produce its own films, collaborate with other production companies and finance the development of other projects that align with its mission.Proposed project ideas include a film dramatizing the evacuation of the World Trade Center on 9/11, a movie about the "botched withdrawal from Afghanistan" and a multi-season spy thriller exposing "Chinas plans to replace the United States as the dominant global power," according to the Semafor report.Founders Films' leadership team has ties to Palantir, a tech giant which builds defense software solutionsfor the U.S. military and Allied forces.One of the film company's co-founders is Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer at Palantir. Ryan Podolsky, an early Palantir employee and U.S. Marine veteran,also serves as co-founder and CEO of the film company, while investor Christian Garrettis the third co-founder.YELLOWSTONE TO YOSEMITE: KEVIN COSTNER TELLS THE 'STRANGER THAN FICTION' STORY OF TAMING THE AMERICAN FRONTIERSankar immigrated to the United States as a child after fleeing violence in Nigeria and has often spoken about his gratitude to the United States. In a blog post late last year, he outlined his vision for the new film project, saying Hollywood needs to return to the "American cinematic universe" that shaped his love for America."I remember growing up as an immigrant kid at the end of the Cold War, watching movies like Red Dawn, Top Gun, Rocky IV, and The Hunt for Red October," he wrote in the December 2024 Substack post. "These movies were the pump-up material of Peak America. They were awesome, and they instilled a healthy aversion to ushanka-wearing commies, for good measures."DIRECTOR OF COLD WAR FILM RED DAWN SAID MOVIES SUCCESS TAUGHT HIM LESSON ABOUT LIBERAL HOLLYWOODSankar called out Hollywood executives for being unwilling to criticize America's adversaries today out of fear doing so would hurt them financially."America is in the middle of Cold War II against a communist enemy with more people, more money, and more military might than the Soviets ever had," he wrote in the post. "The CCP is playing a more careful game than the Kremlin, but as the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Taiwanese know, its no less tyrannical, even genocidal.""What is Hollywood doing to expose this new villain and inspire Americans? When was the last time you saw the CCP presented as a bad guy in a major motion picture, like the USSR? Cold War II is heating up, yet the American Cinematic Universe is AWOL. Worse than that, its compromised by Chinese influence," he wrote."Breaking out of our cultural malaise will require the studios to wake up and choose America," his post went on to say. "But it will also require a new crop of artists who are disenchanted with the status quo and who can re-enchant audiences with new, well-told stories."

For Dolly Parton, spirituality is nothing to take lightly.The country music superstar has often spoken out about her faith over the years, but in a conversation with famed celebrity interviewer Lawrence Grobel, Parton revealed just how intensely she feels about the topic.Grobel, who has interviewed and written about a number of celebrities over his decades-long career, recently shared some diary entries with Vanity Fair many of them describe conversations he's had with Parton, who he first met in 1978.DOLLY PARTON LEANS ON FAITH TO NAVIGATE LOSS OF HUSBAND CARL DEANThe two became friends, and in 1981, after he was presented with an opportunity to interview notorious serial killer Charles Manson, he asked Parton for her thoughts on the matter, since he'd been having trouble deciding whether he wanted to go through with it."I think hed steal your soul," she told him, per Grobel's diary entry. "I cant even look at a picture of him."She told him that if he were to interview Manson, "I know I wouldnt want to have much to do with you."The "Jolene" singer told Grobel that he "wouldn't make a difference" by interviewing Manson because any attention the story got would go to the infamous killer, who was convicted in 1971 of the murders of seven people."I know its an amazing story," she said, "but being the way we are, you and me, with the wonderful, pure force in you, just one minute with him could destroy all that we can be about. Thats how spirits work. Youd have to be brave to deal with him, and I know you are, but its something you dont tempt God with. Id be afraid it would get to me."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSGrobel wrote that Parton had told him that "this devil has come up between us," referring to Manson, and that she said that if he did choose to do the interview, "You and me would be more like in a battle and Id be looking at you differently, because it would change you and you may not even know it. The darkness is something not to get involved with."The author ultimately declined the interview, and in his diary, he wrote that Parton "pretty much made my decision for me."DOLLY PARTON'S TO HELL WITH YOU APPROACH FUELED DECADES OF SUCCESS"No candy if I play with the devil," he remarked.While the cult leader wasn't known to worship Satan as some people believed, he did invoke some Satanic imagery in public statements he made.At one point during his trial, Manson arrived to court with a shaved head, declaring, "I am the devil, and the devil always has a bald head." At a 1986 parole hearing, he said, "From behind the time locks of courtrooms and from the worlds of darkness, I did let loose devils and demons with the power of scorpions to torment."Grobel previously recounted the story of Parton's concerns about Manson on his website in 2017. There, he wrote that Parton was surprised that he had even needed to think about whether he wanted to do the interview, calling Manson "evil incarnate."He remembered her saying, "And to tell you the truth, that you even have to think about this concerns me."He also said that following the conversation, the country legend "kept her distance" from him.Parton has long been open about her beliefs, telling Fox News Digital in 2023 that she asks God to keep "the right people" in her life and to take "the wrong ones" out of it."My faith impacts everything that I do because I do believe that, through God, all things are possible," she said at the time. "And so I always ask God to bless everything that I do and the people that I work with and to bring all the right things and right people into my life and to take the wrong ones out.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"So, I try to just live through love as much as I can. And so I just think that my spirituality has been a guiding light in my life and my strength, really, in my creative energy. And my spiritual energy has really been a great force to keep me going all these years and still being productive."Earlier this month, Parton appeared on Khlo Kardashian's "Khloe in Wonder Land" podcast, where she admitted that people have told her that she shouldn't speak so much about her faith."I said, 'Well, yes I should," she told Kardashian. "Im not telling you what to do. Im just telling you what makes me work, what I believe."She said that if God can "shine through" her to other people, that's good enough for her.

A new report from the Council on Criminal Justice brought welcome news: crime is down across much of America. But what the report doesnt say out loud is that the timing is no coincidence.President Donald Trump is simply enforcing immigration laws already on the books proof that we dont need more laws; we just need leaders with the backbone to enforce the laws we have. The results are undeniable: communities nationwide are seeing tangible improvements in public safety.According to the report, homicides dropped 17% in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period last year. Gun assaults are down 21%. Robberies fell 20% and carjackings plummeted by 24%. Even property crimes like burglary and larceny saw double-digit declines.These arent just statistics. They reflect real communities seeing real results.TRUMP'S BORDER CRACKDOWN BRINGS 'POSITIVE SHIFT' TO ARIZONA COMMUNITIES AFTER YEARS OF UPHEAVALWhile violent crime fell, ICE arrests surged more than doubling in places like Sacramento and climbing over 500% in California overall. Nationwide, immigration arrests have already topped 300,000 in 2025 alone. Thats not political theater. Thats law enforcement doing its job.This data shows the power of real deterrence, the effect of giving law enforcement respect and support to do their job. The fact that these historic drops occurred in the absence of passing new laws gives strong evidence to the power of simply letting law enforcement do their jobs.Conservative Americans have always known that lawlessness whether from violent repeat offenders or criminal illegal aliens makes our cities less safe. Under Trumps unwavering leadership, the pendulum is finally swinging back toward sanity. He is proving what weve long known: you cant have public safety without border security.TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT PUSH RESULTS IN SKYROCKETING ARRESTS OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENSThanks to the "UPLIFT Act" (H.R. 1680), sanctuary jurisdictions are being forced to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Cities shouldnt be safe havens for known criminals simply because their mayors want to make headlines on cable news.Critics claim the administrations immigration agenda is harsh. But whats truly harsh is letting gang members, human traffickers and drug smugglers remain on American soil out of fear of being labeled "xenophobic." Thats not compassion, thats cowardice.Trumps approach to public safety is working. As ICE ramps up operations, violent offenders are being taken off the streets. In Texas, immigration arrests are up 92%. In Florida, 219%. These are hardened criminals many with prior convictions who are no longer free to endanger our communities.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAnyone who wants to call this immigration enforcement "overreach" should ask the families in Chicago, Los Angeles or Miami who no longer fear nightly gunfire and mayhem. Ask the parents whose kids are no longer walking past open-air drug markets on their way to school. Americans dont care about D.C. talking points. They care about the results.DHS ARRESTS 'WORST OF THE WORST' MIGRANTS IN LA DESPITE RIOTERS, POLS PUSHING BACKThe CCJ report notes that todays violent crime levels are evenlowerthan they were in 2019 before the pandemic and the defund-the-police chaos. While liberals spent the last five years demonizing law enforcement, Trump stood with the men and women in uniform. Now were seeing the payoff.Make no mistake: the Biden-era border crisis led to an influx of dangerous individuals, and blue-state sanctuary policies allowed them to disperse into our major cities. But as those policies are being reversed, public safety is being restored.As the newly sworn in Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott said, "The biggest reason right now that were seeing that massive reduction is because people are held accountable for violating the law, and theyre quickly removed from the United States." President Trump is doing what he promised: protecting the innocent, restoring law and order, and making America safe again. The data speaks for itself. And for the first time in a long time, Americans can feel it in their neighborhoods and homes.Ja'Ron K. Smith is the special assistant to the president of the United States for domestic policy.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM BRETT TOLMAN

Former CBS anchor Connie Chung warned on CNN Friday that the recent merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media could be the "end" of journalism as she once knew it.The FCC announced it approved an $8 billion merger between the two companies on Thursday with the deal set to close on August 7. This came after several controversies involving CBS, which Paramount owns, such as a lawsuit settlement with President Donald Trump over a "60 Minutes" segment and canceling "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."Based on the newly formed company Paramount Skydance Corp., the former "CBS Evening News" anchor suggested the network she was a part of could lose all of its independence.JON STEWART BLASTS CBS FOR CANCELING COLBERT'S SHOW, CALLS IT 'PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE' FOR CORPORATE MERGER"I fear the end of CBS as I knew it," Chung said on "CNN News Central." "CBS was always a standalone network. It was autonomous. The news division was autonomous, and it was always unencumbered by pressures from politicians, including presidents, and unencumbered by bean counters. But now? I can see very clearly that the days that I remembered are long gone."She continued, "Honest, unbiased, fact-based journalism is being tainted and those who practiced that journalism, like Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, that kind of journalism has disappeared. I also fear that gone are the days of Frank Stanton, who was the president of CBS, who defended the rights of the journalism, the First Amendment, the fourth estate before Congress, and he represented all journalists in many ways."Chung placed more blame on Paramounts controlling shareholder Shari Redstone and Skydance Media CEO David Ellison for having "tainted journalism" with their "greed." She also called out companys pledge to not implement any new DEI initiatives as an insult to her and other women and minorities at CBS.Several journalists have accused CBS and Paramount of acquiescing to Trump ahead of the merger through its settlement and cancellations, including Chung.CBS PARENT COMPANY SPARKS MASSIVE OUTRAGE WITH TRUMP LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT"I have difficulty believing what they claim, which is that the 60 Minutes agreement had nothing to do with the merger, or a settlement had nothing to do with the merger, and also that the disappearance of Steve [sic] Colbert had nothing to do it had only to do with financial issues. It all smells," Chung said.Paramount has been facing an intense backlash for its recent decisions, even from some of its own employees.Veteran "60 Minutes" producer Rome Hartman told Fox News Digital earlier this month that he thought the companys settlement with Trump was a "cowardly capitulation by the corporate leaders of Paramount" and a "fundamental betrayal" of CBS News.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPSenators Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., also sent a letter to Ellison demanding answers about the Trump settlement and the Colbert cancellation, suggesting anti-bribery laws may have been broken in order for the merger to proceed with FCC approval.

An Iowa family recently celebrated a major milestone for a very special baby.Mollie and Randall Keen welcomed their son, Nash Keen, on July 5, 2024. He was born 133 days early, at just 21 weeks gestation.Guinness World Records has officially recognized Nash as the worlds most premature baby to survive.THREE-PERSON IVF TECHNIQUE SHOWN TO PREVENT INHERITED GENETIC DISEASESEarlier this month, Nash affectionately nicknamed "Nash Potato" turned 1 year old, defying all odds.When he was born at theUniversity of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Childrens Hospital, Nash weighed just 285 grams (10 ounces) at birth less than a grapefruit and measured 24 centimeters long, according to a press release from the hospital.Two years before Nashs premature birth, the Keens lost a baby girl, McKinley, at 18 weeks gestation.At that time, Mollie Keen was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix, which is when the lower part of the cervix begins to open (dilate) too early, typically in the second trimester, the release shared.SPERM DONOR'S GENETIC MUTATION LINKED TO CANCER IN 10 CONCEIVED CHILDRENShe also suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that can cause fertility difficulties.Six months after their loss, the Keens found out another baby was on the way."When we went to our local doctors office for the 20-week scan for Nash, I just had some concerns about how I was feeling, so I asked them to look at me closer which they normally dont do at that appointment and they found I was already 2 centimeters dilated," Mollie Keen said.A few days later, she began having contractions and was placed on bed rest.CDC REMOVES COVID VACCINE RECOMMENDATION FOR HEALTHY CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN"We were devastated," she said. "We thought we were going through the exact same thing we thought we were going to lose this baby."The medical team at Stead Family Childrens Hospitals neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) provides life-saving care for babies born at 21 weeks gestation and later.Fortunately, Mollies care team was able to delay labor until just 10 hours after Nash surpassed the 21-week mark."We want what is best for patients, so we really try to convey that we do not know what the outcomes will be for these extremely premature births," said Malinda Schaefer, M.D., Ph.D., the high-risk obstetrician who delivered Nash."It is important for parents to understand most survival rates are low, and if babies do survive, they have a very high risk of long-term complications, even at 22 weeks."The team quickly provided medicine to Nash to support his organ development and to reduce the risk of complications, according to the release.WOMAN SAYS DOG DETECTED HER BREAST CANCER BEFORE DOCTORS DID: 'HE'S KNOWN THIS WHOLE TIME'"Sometimes babies born at 21 weeks are just too small for even our tiniest breathing tubes and intravenous lines," said neonatologist Amy Stanford, who treated Nash. "Our NICU team assessed Nash, and I was able to place a breathing tube. Once we had the breathing tube in, his heart rate stabilized and his oxygen levels were good."Even so, Nashs chances were slim, as no baby that young had ever survived.Before Nash's birth, the most premature baby to survive was Curtis Zy-Keith Means, born to Michelle Butler on July 5, 2020, at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, according to Guinness World Records. He was born at a gestational age of 21 weeks and 1 day, which was 132 days premature."We never want the parents to lose hope, but many of them are in an unreal situation, so we have to be very honest with them," said Patrick McNamara, M.D., division director of neonatology at Stead Family Childrens Hospital."I would have told his parents, The chance is zero, but I hope I'm wrong, and we will do everything we can to help him."Around the one-month mark, Stanford said, the team began to "breathe a little easier.""While we knew Nash still had a long journey ahead, that was the point when we started to feel more confident that he had a real chance of going home.""It was a subtle but powerful shift from day-to-day survival to long-term hope."Nash received ongoing care during his 198 days in the hospital, as the team monitored his heart function and brain health.In addition to receiving many medications, he also underwent surgery for a perforated bowel, which has up to a 40% mortality rate."They were on top of it every step of the way. They really gave him a fighting chance," said Randall Keen. "They were really honest with us during the whole journey about what his chances looked like. They made sure we were well-informed and kept us involved in all the decision-making."After more than six months in the hospital, Nash was finally able to go home in January 2025.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERHe will continue to be monitored for ongoing health issues, including a minor heart defect, and is currently being weaned from oxygen. Nash is still on a feeding tube and wears hearing aids.Although he has had some developmental delays, Nash isgetting stronger and more interactive with the help of ongoing therapy sessions, according to his mother.Stanford shared her ultimate goal for Nash "that by the time he's 5 years old when he goes to kindergarten, no one will know that he was born so early.""Nashs remarkable outcome reflects the progress we've made by building on the experiences of those patients who came before him," she added.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthMollie Keen shared that she wants Nash to know how loved he is and "how many people have cheered him on from the very beginning.""I want him to grow up and be healthy, happy and confident in who he is. I want him to see his story as a source of strength."

EXCLUSIVE - Judge Judith Sheindlin helps recreate some of the most controversial court cases in American history in her new show, "Justice on Trial."The show, which was over 10 years in the making and finally premiered on Prime Video last Monday, revisits eight of the most monumental court cases in American memory allowing the viewer to decide if justice was truly served with each verdict. The main lawyers featured on the show are Larry Bakman and Daniel Mentzer.Episode seven features a re-telling of "Snyder v. Phelps," in which a grieving father, Albert Snyder, sued Fred Phelps and his followers at the Westboro Baptist Church for emotional distress after church members protested his son Matthew's military funeral. The churchgoers, as depicted in the episode, carried signs reading, "God Hates Your Son," "Thank God for Dead Soldiers," and "Thank God for 9/11," to protest the military's tolerance of homosexuality.As Snyder noted during the trial, his son was not gay. The protesters were protesting the military at-large. The court showdown highlighted the legal boundaries of protected speech when it conflicts with potential harm to others.JUDGE JUDY SHARES THE BEST PIECE OF PROFESSIONAL ADVICE SHE EVER RECEIVED AHEAD OF HER HONOR EVENTA jury in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland agreed with Snyder and awarded him a total of $10.9 million, which the judge lowered to $5 million. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the judgment, holding that Phelps' speech was protected by the First Amendment. The Supreme Court upheld the Fourth Circuit's ruling.The fiery Sheindlin had an opinion on the matter. While she and others may find the protesters' signs "abhorrent," she intoned that the Constitution does protect free speech."Totally uncaring for people who are religious people, totally uncaring about the emotional trauma that that kind of demonstration might have on the family," Sheindlin said of the Westboro protests in an interview with Fox News Digital. "And yet the Supreme Court said in its decision that they had a right to express their views, even though their views were maybe abhorrent to the vast majority of Americans. I suppose you have to be able to... I wouldn't want to tolerate seeing the American flag burned in protest in America. Just wouldn't. It would offend me. But you have the right to do it. Is there a law that proscribes it? And I'd say probably not."JUDGE JUDY HAS SCATHING MESSAGE FOR CITIES ENGULFED IN BRAZEN CRIME, PINPOINTS RIDICULOUS POLICIES'So how do Americans reconcile their anger at a verdict with the Court's constitutional responsibilities? Sheindlin began her answer by referencing the movie "American President.""I mean, we all would like our presidents to be like Michael Douglas, correct?" she said. "And he said something at the end, but he's making the big speech at the end. He said, 'As an American, America is not easy, and you have to be able to defend somebody burning a flag, the American flag, as a protest, if you're going to insist that freedom of speech and expression exists.' And while we are all offended, it just didn't seem right that for no apparent reason, with no knowledge of who this young man was who was killed, just because they had a cause, they didn't care what the collateral damage was emotionally to the family of this young man."Judge Judy said there was one case, in particular, that spurred her to want to create "Justice on Trial" and that may also leave some Americans feeling like justice may have taken a walk."It was a case that happened in New York many, many years ago," she shared."Two young thugs decided to rob an old man on the subway. Believe it or not, I remember the man's name. His name was Jerome Sandusky, and he was a man well in his 70s. And one of them was acting as a lookout. The other one went down the stairs with the pretty deserted platform and was beating up this old man in an attempt to take his watch and cash. And a transit police officer heard the screams of the old man coming from the subway, and he ran down into the subway. Pulled out his revolver and said, Stop, police! And the young thug ran off and was running up the stairs. Police said, 'Stop, police!' He didn't stop, and the police officer shot him. And he shot him in the back as he was fleeing."Then things got tricky in court and the situation seemed to turn on the victim."The young man pled guilty to the robbery, was sentenced, but hired a lawyer who sued the transit authority in the city of New York and received a judgment, a jury verdict for $4.3 million," Sheindlin continued."And then Mr. Sandusky, who took a very long time to recover from his physical wounds, but who would, you know if you're a crime victim emotionally, you really never get over being a victim of violent crime. And Mr. Sandusky, he said, 'Well, that's sort of outrageous. I was the victim.' And so he hired a lawyer because now this thug had $4.3 million and his lawsuit was barred by the statute of limitations. So there are many facets to that case. Whether or not, ultimately, justice was served is an issue. And if you ask 10 people, given those set of facts, you will get at least eight different opinions."All eight episodes of "Justice on Trial" are streaming now on Prime Video. Other cases covered by the series include the famous Scopes Monkey trial, Gideon v. Wainwright and People v. Turriago. In the latter case, troopers stopped Leonardo Turriago for a speeding violation on the New York State Thruway, which led police to discover a decomposing body locked in a steamer trunk. The episode explores the question of whether or not the search of the truck was legal.The series is created and executive produced by Sheindlin. Casey Barber, David Carr and Randy Douthit are also executive producers. Amy Freisleben is a co-executive producer.

Dennis Quaid is living the dream.It's been five years since the "Sovereign" star, 71, married Laura Savoie, 32, and he's still firmly in the honeymoon stage."My life is paradise," Quaid told Fox News Digital when asked what he loves most about his wife. "Every day is paradise with her. It really is."DENNIS QUAID DEVASTATED BY CLOSE FAMILY CONNECTION TO TEXAS FLOODSHe continued, "It's the closest relationship I've ever had with anybody. Every day is paradise. What can I tell you? I don't know why God had waited so long to bring her, for her to come along, but [I'm] really glad he brought her into my life, or I walked into hers."The couple married in June 2020 in Santa Barbara, California, after meeting a year earlier at a business event while she was working toward her second masters degree at the Texas McCombs School of Business, according to her LinkedIn profile.There's a significant age difference between the two, but as Quaid told Fox News Digital last year, he doesn't notice it."I haven't spoken out about the age difference of my wife. Other people have. ButI really don't think about it," he admitted. "She's got so much going on that, you know, I just don't notice it. She's just, she's the light of my life.""I wasnt looking for it, and she came along, and it's God put us together," he added.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERIn 2019, after Quaid became engaged to Savoie, he told The Guardian that all the attention they'd received for their age gap was "really a laugh."He explained, "I didnt go out looking for an age gap or someone really younger than me. I met her at a business event and then the relationship developed. You have no control over who you fall in love with. I dont fall in love easy. But I cant let what a few people think control all that. Ive been married three times and this is the final one, I know it is. I feel like I have a real partner in life."HARRISON FORD, CHER AND DENNIS QUAID MAKE HOLLYWOOD ROMANCES LAST DESPITE LARGE AGE GAPSQuaid's first wife was actress P.J. Soles. They were married in 1978 and split five years later. In 1991, he and Meg Ryan were wed, and in 2004, three years after divorcing the "When Harry Met Sally" star, he married real estate broker Kimberly Buffington. They divorced in 2018."It really doesn't bother us," he told The Guardian of the backlash to his engagement with Savoie. "Everyone comes from the perspective of their own life and so I cant comment on the way they feel; I cant even get angry."The couple had originally planned a Hawaiian wedding, but when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, their plans shifted.Instead of their planned nuptials, they eloped: on June 2, 2020, they were married at a seaside resort in Santa Barbara, California, with only their pastor as their witness."Just looking into her eyes, she was the most stunning bride," Quaid told People of the intimate affair.Savoie told the outlet that she has "never met someone who is so in love with life. It's like nothing can bring him down."She added, "Just getting to do life with someone who lives that way is inspiring for me.
