Late-night host Stephen Colbert took aim at his employer again on Monday, mocking the Paramount-SkyDance merger with pee jokes after his show was canceled by the network."Im thrilled for everyone at Paramount that the deal went through and very excited for our newly announced official combined Paramount-Skydance stock ticker name, which will go from 'PARA' to 'PSKY.' Soon, PSKY will blast hot streaming content right in your face. With hits like Yellowstone, Yellowjackets, and a full variety of water sports. I predict PSKY will become synonymous with number one. PSKY, a pitcher of warm entertainment," Colbert mocked.Colbert's contract was not renewed by the network and will finish its run in May 2026. The move followed Paramount's settlement with President Donald Trump over an edit in a "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign.The liberal late-night personality also took aim at the president over a Truth Social post directed at NBC and ABC.DEMOCRATS FAWN OVER STEPHEN COLBERT FOR HOLDING 'TRUTH TO POWER' AFTER CBS CANCELS SHOW"Wow, Concasts NBC is down in viewership almost 28% this year. Their programming is terrible, their management even worse. They are an arm of the Democrat Party, and should be held accountable for that. Likewise, Fake News ABC!!! MAGA," Trump wrote.Colbert reacted, "Okay, first it was CBS. Now hes going after ABC and NBC.""To which I say, come on in, Jimmy and Jimmy," he quipped, referring to fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. "The waters warm, because of all the PSKY."The CBS host told Trump to "go f--- yourself" after the president taunted the late-night host over the show's cancellation.FORMER CBS ANCHOR WARNS PARAMOUNT MERGER MARKS 'THE END' OF THE NETWORK AND 'HONEST' JOURNALISM"I absolutely love that Colbert got fired," Trump wrote on Truth Social on July 17. "His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.""How dare you, sir?" Colbert responded on-air the following Monday, July 21. "Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go f--- yourself."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREPrior to the cancellation of his show, Colbert accused his employer, Paramount, of accepting a "big fat bribe" from Trump."I believe this kind of complicated financial sentiment with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. Its big fat bribe, because it all comes as Paramounts owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner, Skydance!" Colbert said.

The National Football League Players' Association (NFLPA) released a statement early Tuesday morning regarding the New York City shooting that killed four people in the office building of the league's headquarters."We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that occurred yesterday in New York City. 345 Park Avenue is a part of our football family, and we at the NFLPA extend our sincere condolences and support to the people who work in this building and to the families of those who lost their lives," the NFLPA said."We also want to express our deep gratitude to the law enforcement and emergency personnel who responded to those impacted."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMMayor Eric Adams said in a news briefing on Tuesday that it is believed that the shooter, identified as Shane Tamura, was targeting the league - it is not known if specific people were intended targets.Adams said the shooter was trying to get to NFL HQ but took the wrong elevator bank.

The crime of post-60s liberalism is that it created permanent Black underclasses all over America, including on the South Side of Chicago where I live. The schools here are poor. Opportunities have been replaced by government handouts. Violence robs far too many families of their loved ones. Yet, there is much untapped potential in these underclasses.I thought about them as I listened to Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" detail the need for hundreds of thousands of tradesmen and women recently at the Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit. He began by saying, "Weve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code." I, too, have been told to pursue that as a means of opportunity for my youth. But I always believed in the power of the trades.Rowe pointed out how the advent of AI has decimated many coding jobs but has not come after "the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians." AI cannot do manual labor.MIKE ROWE REVEALS WHICH AMERICAN JOBS WILL REMAIN UNTOUCHED BY THE COMING AI REVOLUTIONFor the last 20 or so, our nation has emphasized the college degree above everything, including vocational training. In my opinion, this has been disastrous. In my community, there are still those who look down at the prospect of working with their hands. They believe the college degree is their ticket. Maybe it is, but my point here is that work done by our hands should not be looked down upon in our culture. Its honest work.Rowe said that he heard Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock, say in Aspen that "we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years not hyperbole." My non-profit has provided training in the electrician field to many individuals, including a Chicago Police officer who eventually left the force to work full time in her new field.He said the over 80,000 collision repair technicians would be needed.Over 140,000 tradespeople are needed to help companies build and deliver nuclear-powered submarines to the Navy.And for the energy field, 300,000 to 500,000 people will be needed.AI cant do any of this work. But I know people from the South Side and similar neighborhoods across America who can.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONWe need to train these people and put them to work. They may be living in poverty and they may not have received the best education. But many of them are hungry to improve their lives. That is why our nation must reverse the decline of post-60s liberalism by giving these people direct pathways to opportunity.If one should fail or act detrimentally, then dismiss that person and let him or her be an example to others of what happens when one doesnt fully commit.We are a nation in a crisis. If we dont reverse the fortunes of my neighborhood and others like it, then when?The Golden Age for many Americans lies in the pursuit of a livelihood in the trades.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM COREY BROOKS

Kim Jong-Uns powerful sister opened up about relations with the second Trump administration, warning the U.S. not to try to restart talks centered on getting North Korea to give up its nuclear program.Kim Yo Jong, in remarks blasted out by state media, said relations between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un are "not bad" but added Pyongyang would view any attempt to pressure North Korea to denuclearize as "nothing but a mockery."She said that North Koreas nuclear arsenal has sharply increased since Trump and Kim last spoke, and the pair would not meet for a summit again if denuclearization was on the table.The North Korean dictators sister did not rule out bilateral talks entirely as she did with South Korea in a separate statement.WOMAN LEARNS FATE AFTER DOJ GUILTY PLEA ADMITTING SHE HELPED NORTH KOREAN TECH WORKERS INFILTRATE US COMPANIES"If the U.S. fails to accept the changed reality and persists in the failed past, the DPRK- U.S. meeting will remain as a hope of the U.S. side," Kim Yo Jong said, referring to the nation by its official name, the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea.She said it would be "advisable to seek another way of contact."Trump held three unprecedented summits with the North Korean leader he dubbed "Little Rocket Man" during his first term: in Singapore in 2018, Hanoi in 2019 and the Korean Demilitarized Zone in 2019, becoming the first president to step foot on North Korean territory.None of the meetings resulted in any breakthroughs: North Korea kept its nukes, and the U.S. left sanctions that have isolated it from international markets in place.Kim Yo Jong is a top official on the Central Committee of the Norths ruling Workers Party and handles relations with the U.S. and South Korea.RUSSIA'S LAVROV WARNS US AGAINST 'EXPLOITING' ALLIANCES AS HE MEETS WITH KIM JONG UN IN NORTH KOREAKim Yo Jongs comments came after an article posted by Yonhap news agency cited an unnamed White House official as saying Trump "remains open to engaging with Leader Kim to achieve a fully denuclearized North Korea."White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said last month Trump would like to see "progress" this term on the summits he held during the first term.In a statement commemorating the 72nd anniversary of the end of the Korean War on Monday, Trump said, "I was proud to become the first sitting President to cross this Demilitarized Zone into North Korea."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHe underscored the U.S. alliance with South Korea."Although the evils of communism still persist in Asia, American and South Korean forces remain united in an ironclad alliance to this day."

EXCLUSIVE:Lawmakers on the House Homeland Security Committee met with stakeholders and law enforcement to address the rise of antisemitic violence in the U.S., during a closed-door congressional roundtable on July 22, Fox News Digital has learned.The roundtable comes amid growing concerns about antisemitic violence months after recent attacks in Boulder, Colorado, and Washington, D.C., along with growing fears surrounding the potential election of Zohran Mamdani, who has espoused anti-Israel viewpoints, as New York City mayor."Jewish communities across the country are living in fear, and I am committed to standing with them. This roundtable comes at a critical moment: a far-left activist who has defended the phrase globalize the intifada is inching closer to leading a city home to one of the worlds largest Jewish populations," Rep. August Pfluger, the chairman of the Homeland Security Committees counterterrorism and intelligence subcommittee, said in his opening statement, obtained by Fox News Digital.BOULDER TERROR ATTACK RESULT OF RECKLESS BIDEN POLICIES,' WHITE HOUSE SAYS"Antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetoric is becoming dangerously mainstream. We must act now to expose and combat this vile hatred wherever it is spread," Pfluger said.The roundtable focused on improving interagency coordination, intelligence sharing, training, and enforcement to better prevent and respond to antisemitic violence, according to a House Homeland Security Committee aide.In particular, the meeting addressed ways to bolster communication between the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, along with state and local law enforcement, according to Michael Masters, the CEO of the Secure Community Network, a non-profit organization focused on the safety of the Jewish community in North America.This interagency coordination is absolutely paramount as the Secure Community Network has flagged 500 credible threats to life this year which all have required immediate law enforcement intervention, according to Masters."Bad guys don't respect orders. Bad actors don't respect jurisdictions, and that means that our intelligence can't be siloed," Masters told Fox News Digital on Monday.SHOOTING AT CAPITAL JEWISH MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS RISING WAVE OF ANTI-JEWISH HATE CRIMESAdditionally, the roundtables discussion highlighted how extremist rhetoric can spread, especially on college campuses and via social media, the aide said. Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, student protests have erupted across college campuses in the U.S., including at Columbia University in New York.Likewise, those participating in the roundtable addressed the prevalence of homegrown and foreign-influenced extremism, when one participant highlighted instances where anti-Israel terrorist organizations have disseminated tool kits and talking points aimed at promoting attacks in the U.S., the committee aide said.The discussion is expected to inform legislative priorities centered around bolstering officer training, improving data collection, and ensuring "robust prosecution" of antisemitic offenses, the committee aide said.BIDEN DHS REVEALS 50 MIGRANTS STILL AT LARGE AS ISIS-AFFILIATED SMUGGLING NETWORK BRINGS HUNDREDS TO USThose who participated in the roundtable included representatives from the Secure Community Networks; the Anti-Defamation League, an organization dedicated to stopping the defamation of the Jewish people; the Department of Homeland Securitys Office of Intelligence & Analysis; and law enforcement officials.Pfluger, a Republican from Texas, has spearheaded legislation that would bar any visa holders backing Hamas or other designated terror groups from staying in the U.S.He also led a hearing last month on the rise of antisemitic violence in the U.S., following a May shooting that killed two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington and a terrorist attack in Colorado targeting a grassroots group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages.Antisemitic violence reached a new high in 2024, according to the Anti-Defamation League.The group recorded 9,354 antisemitic instances of harassment, assault, and vandalism in the U.S. in 2024 a 5% increase from the 8,873 incidents recorded in 2023 and a 344% increase in the past five years. Likewise, the number of incidents is the highest the group has recorded since 1979, when the group first started tracking these cases.Incidents of antisemitic violence in 2024 were highest in the state of New York, where Mamdani is currently a state assemblyman.Mamdani has attracted scrutiny, including from Democrats, for initially failing to condemn the term "globalize the intifada," a phrase used to back Palestinian resistance against Israel. However, he has since said he will not use the term and will discourage others from using it as well.Still, concerns remain over what his potential leadership as mayor could mean for the Jewish community in New York City. Roughly 1.4 million people in the Greater New York Area identified as Jewish in 2023, according to UJA-Federation of New York."There's a lot of fear in the Jewish community if this guy becomes mayor," New York City Republican councilwoman Inna Vernikov told Fox News Digital."This is a guy who wants to globalize the intifada," Vernikov said. "We've never seen anything close to this in New York City. We have the largest Jewish population in America, and I'll tell you Jews are telling me they're going to run away from New York City, and Jews have contributed a lot to the city and to this country, and the idea that they are now afraid to live here it's unacceptable and unprecedented really, this has never happened here."Fox News Andrew Mark Miller contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump addressed the ongoing hunger crisis in Gaza on Monday in Scotland, where he addressed the urgency of getting food into the enclave immediately, while doing it safely and securely."The United States recently, just a couple of weeks ago, we gave $60 million No other nation gave money," as he urged other nations "to step up."$30 million in U.S. contributions to Gaza have been channeled through the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.Since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began its operations on May 27, the organization has partnered with local Palestinian aid workers and non-governmental organizations to deliver 97 million meals to date to Gazans.ISRAEL ANNOUNCES IMMEDIATE RESUMPTION OF GAZA AID AIRDROPS AMID GROWING HUNGER CRISISGHF spokesperson Chapin Fay told Fox News Digital that GHF "has one exclusive mission: to feed the people of Gaza in a way that prevents Hamas from being able to steal or loot or divert the aid." In addition to having "zero diversion," Fay said GHF has "put [aid] directly into the hands of the people who need it the most."At its four distribution sites in Gaza, it provides boxes of aid sufficient to provide 2,400 daily calories for 5.5 people over a total of 3.5 days. GHFs sites are able to distribute, on average, 2 million total meals per day.Fay said GHF has also started a potato pilot program which has seen "hundreds of tons of potatoes" delivered into Gaza.Another new pilot program in association with local Gazan NGO Al-Amal has allowed GHF to deliver 2,000 boxes of food to families in Gaza. Fay said that GHF is in the process of scaling up the operation, vetting hundreds of inquiries received since the programs announcement and working on establishing additional local NGO partnerships.The U.N. has lambasted GHFs distributions, with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarinicalling the organization an "abomination" that "provides nothing but starvation and gunfire to the people of Gaza."TRUMP HITS EU FOR LACK OF GAZA AID, SAYS ISRAEL NEEDS TO MAKE A DECISION WITH HAMAS NOT RELEASING HOSTAGESThough media headlines are thick with accusations of violence at GHF sites, Fay said that the reality of GHF distributions "is almost the opposite of what you read about, what you see on TV."Though he admitted that "theres some chaos when thousands of desperate, hungry people are trying to get aid," he claims that only two violent incidents have transpired at GHF distributions. A stampede and a grenade attack that harmed two American veteran employees were "Hamas-fomented terrorist attacks," he said.The U.N. and many NGOs have also opposed GHFs use of armed security to protect aid-seekers. However, U.N. data shows that only 8% of U.N. aid had reached its destination without being looted in the last 10 weeks, according to a Reuters report.Fay says that GHF is ready and willing to provide security support for U.N. aid. "We need to stop pretending that theres only one way to get aid into Gaza," he explained.As GHF continues to assist Gazans, Fay says the organization has "adapt[ed] in a dynamic environment, and our distributions seem to be going more smoothly every day."New adaptations include a red-light, green-light system to indicate whether distribution sites are open and a suggestion from aid-seekers. GHF has also added more shelf-stable onions to its aid boxes.Fay said that workers are also holding back some aid to ensure that women and children receive needed assistance. Because of this change, Fay says he recently "saw women leaving and smiling at our personnel with their onions on their way home."GHF is set to deliver its 100 millionth meal to Gazans later this week.Reuters contributed to this report.

An off-duty NYPD officer was fatally shot in Manhattan on Monday was identified as 36-year-old Didarul Islam, a father of two whose wife is pregnant with their third child.Islam, an immigrant from Bangladesh, was one of four people killed when 27-year-old Shane Tamura opened fire inside a Midtown Manhattan office building on Monday evening. Tamura, a Las Vegas resident with a history of mental health issues, began shooting in the lobby before moving to another floor and later turning the gun on himself.NYC GUNMAN HAD GRIEVANCES AGAINST NFL, FOOTBALL AS SHOOTING LEAVES SEVERAL DEAD: REPORTThe office building housed both Blackstone, an investment firm, and the NFL headquarters, among other companies. Islam was working security for the building when he was killed.President Donald Trump called the shooting "tragic" and said that he trusted law enforcement "to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence." He also expressed his sympathies to the loved ones of the victims and concluded, "God bless the New York Police Department, and God Bless New York.""Police Officer Didarul Islam represented the very best of our department. He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short today," the NYPD wrote on X.NYC SHOOTING: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SHANE TAMURA, GUNMAN WHO KILLED 4 INCLUDING NYPD COP IN MIDTOWN MANHATTANNYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch mourned Islam in a post, saying, "May Police Officer Didarul Islams memory be a blessing."New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer, met with Islams family and attended the dignified transfer of the slain officer. Adams said that Islam "embodies what this city is all about. Hes a true blue New Yorker, not only in the uniform he wore."Adams ordered all flags on city buildings and stationary flagstaffs to be lowered to half-staff "until further notice" in honor of Islam."Officer Didarul Islam died as he lived, a hero and protector of New York City. We will never forget you," Adams wrote in a post on X along with photos from the dignified transfer.Adams told Fox 5 New York on Tuesday that it appeared "as though he was going after the employees at the NFL," but took the wrong elevator bank, which is how he ended up on Rudin Managements floor.ACTIVE SHOOTER REPORT PROMPTS MASSIVE POLICE RESPONSE IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN BUSINESS DISTRICTNew York Gov. Kathy Hochul expressed a similar sentiment, saying he "represented the very best of New York.""An immigrant from Bangladesh, he joined the NYPD to protect his city and gave his life doing so," Hochul wrote. "He leaves behind a wife, two young sons and a third child on the way. We hold his family in our prayers tonight."Hochul also ordered flags half-staff in honor of Islam and the other victims of Monday's shooting.In the wake of the tragedy, Hochul called for a "national assault weapons ban.""The time to act is now. The American people are tired of thoughts and prayers," she said. "They deserve action. Congress must summon the courage to stand up to the gun lobby and finally pass a national assault weapons ban before more innocent lives are stolen."Controversial Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, an outspoken critic of the NYPD who has called to defund the police, also mourned Islam online."A Bangladeshi immigrant who joined the NYPD four years ago, he lived in Parkchester with his pregnant wife, their two young children, and his elderly parents," Mamdani wrote. "When he joined the police department, his mother asked him why he would pursue such a dangerous job. He told her it was to leave behind a legacy that his family could be proud of. He has done that, and more."Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner was killed in the shooting, according to the firm. The names of the other two victims have not yet been released to the public.The NFL confirmed that one employee was "seriously injured," according to a memo written by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell obtained by Fox News. The league did not identify the employee.
