Iconic radio host Howard Stern faces an uncertain future at SiriusXM, according to multiple reports.The legendary shock jock, who has seen his influence fade in recent years as he embraced "woke" ideology, could exit the satellite radio provider after a 20-year-run when his contract expires late this year, The U.S. Sun reported on Tuesday, citing sources."Stern's contract is up in the fall and while Sirius is planning to make him an offer, they don't intend for him to take it," a Stern "insider" told the Sun."Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want," the insider added. "It's no longer worth the investment."HOWARD STERN SAYS HE 'HATES' ANYONE THAT VOTES FOR TRUMP: 'THEY ARE STUPID, I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THEM'"The Howard Stern Show" has pivoted away from its roots as a pioneer of the "shock jock" format during the Trump era. In 2023, Stern famously said being labeled "woke" was a "compliment," and he has expressed disdain for Trump voters."I don't agree with Trump politically, I don't think he should be anywhere near the White House. I don't hate the guy. I hate the people who vote for him. I think they're stupid. I do. I'll be honest with you, I have no respect for you," Stern said in 2024.The Sun noted that the "political climate" could determine whether Stern receives the type of contract he is seeking.The Daily Mail reported that Stern "is in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM on whether he will renew his contract.""'He may do a 1-2 year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. Hedoesntwant to pull the plug on his employees like this," an insider told the Daily Mail.HOWARD STERN'S MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS SINCE PIVOT FROM SHOCK JOCK TO LIBERAL MOUTHPIECESiriusXM declined comment when reached by Fox News Digital. A rep for "The Howard Stern Show" did not immediately respond.SiriusXM president Scott Greenstein praised Stern during an earnings call last year, which is believed to be the last time an executive from the company spoke publicly about the radio legend."As for Howard, he's a singular talent. No one pretended when Johnny Carson or others retired that the new group would replace them. They were just simply filling in on those slots. So Howard, we hope he continues forever," Greenstein told investors.Sterns catalog of past shows could remain on SiriusXM, airing as replays.Stern, dubbed "The King of All Media," exploded onto the scene in 1985 and attracted tens of millions of daily listeners on terrestrial radio before jumping to Sirius in 2006. Nowadays, he reportedly attracts only 125,000 daily listeners.The former bad boy of radio, who used to regularly welcome Trump on his program, ramped up his criticism of Trump throughout his presidency. Stern was also a staunch supporter of COVID vaccine mandates while scolding public figures who dared to resume a normal life during the pandemic.HOWARD STERN HITS BACK AT CRITICS CALLING HIM 'WOKE,' SAYS HE TAKES IT AS A COMPLIMENTHeritage Foundation media fellow Tim Young, a conservative comedian and radio host, believes Stern is a legend in the industry despite his "woke" ideology."To me and anyone in the radio business, Howard Stern would be on the Mount Rushmore of radio hosts alongside Rush Limbaugh," Young told Fox News Digital."Even though they are clearly very different characters, they were both trailblazers in their genres and radio would not be what it is today if not for both of them. Stern was the shock jock and defined the genre of extreme talk and humor for multiple generations," Young continued."Like Limbaugh, there are many current radio hosts who are only impersonations, but never any successors of what Stern once was."Young believes that Stern's evolution from shock jock to in-depth interviewer shows not only his versatility as a host, but his honest and genuine interest in his guests."Conservatives may not like his content, but Stern is one of the greatest influences on culture, especially in radio, of all time," Young said.

Michael Rapaport called out the backlash against Sydney Sweeney following the actress' American Eagle jeans ad, saying the criticism is "out of control."The comedian went off on the people who have "bullied and harassed" Sweeney after her "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans" ad went viral for the wrong reasons."Yo, I don't know Sydney Sweeney, I've never met Sydney Sweeney, I've never even seen an episode of Euphoria. I know her fame, I know about the commercial controversy, and now I know something about her being a registered Republican," Rapaport said on Instagram. "Who gives a f--- who is registered as what? Who gives a f---? This is out of control. Who the f--- cares who anybody is registered to vote for, Republican, Democrat, Independent, or whatever the f--- they want to do."He continued, "This is a young 27-year-old girl that's being bullied and harassed. You don't think her team of powerful agents and lawyers dotted every I and ran everything up the flagpole to do that American Eagle jeans campaign and all of a sudden she's a Nazi, and it's white supremacy? Leave her the f--- alone."SYDNEY SWEENEY'S SHOOTING SKILLS GO VIRAL AS SHE MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE SINCE AMERICAN EAGLE CONTROVERSYRapaport also criticized people who bully female celebrities in general."People love bullying celebrities, especially female celebrities," he said. "Who cares who she voted for? Who cares who she's registered to vote for? Who cares who anybody is registered for vote for? Get a f---ing life. You wanna run her into the f---ing ground. You wanna build these people up and then run them into the ground. Leave Sydney Sweeney the f--- alone."He added, "Leave everybody alone. You don't like somebody, don't watch them. You don't like somebody, don't post about them, you f---ing lowlife, miserable motherf----- you."Sweeney stepped out Sunday for the first time since her American Eagle jeans ad sparked controversy. The 27-year-old blonde bombshell attended a special screening of her movie "Americana" as the internet continued to talk about her possible political stance.Despite her calm demeanor, Sweeney faced a heckler as she arrived at the screening. "Stop the ad, that is being racist!" someone yelled, referencing her American Eagle ad, as the actress walked from her car into the theater, according to TMZ.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSSweeney's recent collaboration with American Eagle for their fall clothing campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," sparked a mix of reactions. In one version of the ad, Sweeney stated, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue."While some dubbed the campaign as "tone-deaf" due to the alleged racial undertones, others have praised the actress for killing "woke" advertising.According to Salon, the term "great genes" was historically used to "celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERAmerican Eagle defended Sweeney amid the backlash, but removed the controversial video from the brand's social media accounts."'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans," the statement said. "Her Jeans. Her Story.

Vice President JD Vance is hosting senior Trump administration officials at his residence in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday evening for a strategy dinner to discuss how the administration should handle the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein fallout and move forward, Fox News has learned.Vance has invited U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to dinner at the sprawling, 12-acre vice-presidential residence in Northwest Washington. White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is also expected to be in attendance, according to sources familiar.News of the dinner was first reported by CNN. It comes after weeks of unsuccessful attempts by senior Trump officials to quell mounting public pressure to release more information related to the Epstein investigation underscoring the sticking power of the Epstein scandal despite a fast-moving news cycle. Trump supporters have been among the leading voices demanding the release of additional information.JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WEIGHS RELEASE OF GHISLAINE MAXWELL INTERVIEWThe Justice Department and the White House have also struggled to coordinate their messaging on the ongoing fallout from the Epstein scandal, following the release of an unsigned July 7 memo that said they did not plan to release additional information about the investigation.Most recently, the White House and DOJ have been at odds over whether to release an audio file and transcript from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanches interview with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell late last month, senior administration officials confirmed.COMER SUBPOENAS THE CLINTONS, TRUMP'S DOJ IN HOUSE OVERSIGHT'S EPSTEIN PROBEIt is unclear how long the audio footage and transcripts from the interviews between Blanche's interview with Maxwell are, but they do exist, Fox News Digital reported yesterday, and discussions remain underway today involving whether and when to release the transcript.Fox News Digital reported yesterday that DOJ officials have both the audio and transcript from Blanche's interview with Maxwell, which took place over two days at the U.S. Attorney's office near the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, where Maxwell had been serving out a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.Maxwell was transferred last week without explanation to a new, minimum-security women's federal prison camp in Texas.Anything released by the Trump administration would almost certainly involve heavily redacting any identifying information of individuals named in the transcript in order to protect victims something Bondi has stressed in public on multiple occasions.News of Vance's dinner prompted fresh concerns from family members of one Epstein victim, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who committed suicide earlier this year."We understand that Vice President JD Vance will hold a strategy session this evening at his residence with administration officials," Giuffre's sibling said in a statement Wednesday shared with Fox News Digital. "Missing from this group is, of course, any survivor of the vicious crimes of convicted perjurer and sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. Their voices must be heard, above all," they said."We reiterate that Ghislaine Maxwell should have remained in a maximum security prison and does not deserve the luxuries currently afforded her."Pressure to release information has been unrelenting in the weeks since July 7, when the Justice Department said in an unsigned memo that it did not plan to release more information about the investigation. The Justice Department and FBI also said that investigators had not found a so-called "client list" from Epstein, as had been suggested widely online, and by some Trump officials earlier this year.Asked on Fox News in February about news that the DOJ would release "the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients," and when that would happen, Bondi replied, "It's sitting on my desk right now to review."White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt later said Bondi had been referring more broadly to all the files related to Epstein, and not a single list.

A 22-year-old Pennsylvania man was federally charged for allegedly threatening to kill then-President-elect Donald Trump before he took office, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said Jacob Buckley, using a TikTok account under the name "Jacob_buckley," wrote on Jan. 16, "I hate MAGA republicans bro on god Ill kill all of them."He also wrote on the TikTok account,"Im going to kill Trump," and, "Bro we going into a literal oligarchy in 4 days and im going to kill Trump," according to prosecutors.Buckley, of Port Matilda, was "charged by criminal information for threatening Donald J. Trump as the President-elect," the U.S. Attorneys Office said, following an investigation by the U.S. Secret Service.FEDERAL GRAND JURY INDICTS MAN FOR THREATENING TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP AFTER REELECTION"The maximum penalty upon conviction on the Information is 5 years imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, a fine, and the imposition of a special assessment," the office added.The development comes weeks after a Rhode Island man was charged for allegedly threatening to kill Trumpand multiple members of his administration on Truth Social.RHODE ISLAND MAN CHARGED FOR ALLEGEDLY THREATENING TO KILL TRUMP, OTHER ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALSThe Department of Justicesaid in early July that 37-year-old Carl Montague was charged with threats against the president, interstate threats, threats to assault and kidnap, or murder of a U.S. official, judge or law enforcement officer.Montague was accused of writing a profanity-laced post on Truth Social on June 27, 2025, threatening to shoot and kill Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.The FBI later said in a criminal complaint that Montague does not own or have access to weapons, nor did he have plans, intentions or the means to travel to commit such violence.Fox News Greg Wehner contributed to this report.

Three Democratic New York City federal lawmakers attempted to gain entry to the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where as many as 100 illegal immigrants are being held, according to one state lawmaker.Images posted Wednesday by the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) showed Reps. Adriano Espaillat, Nydia Velazquez and Daniel Goldman walking toward the MDC with the Gowanus Expressway in the background.The NYIC said the lawmakers had been refused entry to the prison, which has a history of high-profile inmates, including currently Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and Luigi Mangione, and formerly ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen and MSNBC host Al Sharpton after he was arrested for trespassing on a Puerto Rican bombing range in 2001."Masked agents refused [the lawmakers] oversight access to Sunset Park [MDC] and have now trapped them between a fence and the facility," NYIC tweeted.SENATOR SAYS BALTIMORE ICE FACILITY HIDES EVIL PERSISTING IN DARKNESS AFTER DEMS TRY NEWARK REDUX"They cant get out or get in."A spokesperson for Espaillat told Fox News Digital officials "closed the gate and ran away for about 20-30 minutes.""No one could get in or out either way locking the members in for that time period."Fox News Digital reached out to Goldman and Velazquez for further comment.Fox News Digital also reached out to ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for their accounting of the incident.GRAHAM MOCKS DEMOCRATS AS DEA CHIEF PICK CONFIRMS MS-13 GANG TATTOOSThe situation marks the third time in recent weeks that lawmakers have attempted to gain entry to otherwise secure federal holding facilities.Rep.

Its incredibly dangerous, disturbing and un-American. It must end now."Prior to his visit Wednesday, Goldman who served as Sen. Adam Schiffs, D-Calif., lead attorney in the congressional impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump lambasted the president for his administrations decision to utilize the MDC."Rather than continuing the Biden administrations efforts to boost staffing and reduce lockdowns at the MDC, the Trump administration has reversed those improvements and is now further overloading an already unsafe and understaffed facility with dozens of immigrants with no criminal history," Goldman said.According to ICEs Office of Congressional Relations website, members of Congress need only submit a request via email at least seven days in advance of their desired visit.A Department ofHomeland Securityspokesperson explained to Fox News Digital that the seven-day requirement is meant to "prevent interference with the Presidents Article II authority to oversee executive department functions."The spokesperson also noted that "ICE law enforcement has seen a surge in assaults of 830%, as well as disruptions and obstructions to enforcement, including by politicians themselves," in an apparent reference to McIver.Fox News Digitals Peter Pinedo contributed to this report.

Social media users went into a frenzy as singer Beyonc Knowles dropped her own new jeans ad following the release of actress Sydney Sweeneys controversial American Eagle (AE) ad.The singer-songwriter and Levis jeans unveiled their latest fashion collaboration on social media Tuesday, featuring a blonde Knowles wearing a rhinestone-encrusted denim suit. The image sent shockwaves across social media, which had just been roiling over Sweeneys ad that some media outlets accused of promoting "Whiteness.""So Beyonc can pose in Levi jeans and its art But when a White woman does it, its a national crisis?" one user wrote, suggesting a double standard in how both women were being treated for their ads.SYDNEY SWEENEY HAS NO FEAR OF FILMING NUDE SCENES AS SHE HIGHLIGHTS BODY TRANSFORMATION FOR ROLEThough Beyonc had been collaborating with Levis prior to Sweeneys AE campaign, the latest roll-out from the pop star and fashion brand happened within days of the release of Sweeneys ad, which caused a firestorm online with its tagline, "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans."The lines double meaning, referring to both the blue-eyed, blonde actress looks and her denim pants, had many online and in the media accusing the movie star and fashion brand of promoting White supremacist themes.For example, far-left outlet Salons weekend editor CK Smith linked the tagline of Sweeneys ad to "eugenics movements.""Eugenics movements in the U.S. often promoted the idea of good genes to encourage reproduction among White, able-bodied people while justifying the forced sterilization of others. Critics say those ideas still show up in modern advertising and influencer culture, often unexamined," Smith wrote last month.Many of the social media responses to a blonde Beyonc donning jeans in her own ad appeared to be referencing the Sweeney controversy."Those curves = good genes," one user wrote on Levis Instagram post featuring the ad.Another wrote, "Sweeney looks better," and someone else declared, "We want Sydney Sweeney!"On X, users commented on the Beyonc ad in the context of Sweeneys as well.Commentator John LeFevre said people were letting Beyonc get away with cultural appropriation in this ad, but would never allow Sweeney to get away with that."Hard to recognize, but this is Beyonce - with straightened blonde hair and lightened skin. If Sydney Sweeney did an ad in braids, the world would melt down..." he wrote.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREBritish commentator Oli London called out the different treatments of both ad campaigns, asking, "Beyonc appeared in Levi Jeans advert. Zero liberal outrage. Sydney Sweeney appeared in American Eagle advert. Massive liberal outrage. Why is that?"Washington Examiner contributor Kimberly Ross criticized people for throwing barbs over both ads."What if I said Sydney Sweeney has good genes, Beyonc has good genes, and flipping out about either is stupid? Move on from these inane discussions. Good lord," she said.Fox News contributor Nicole Saphier implied there was cultural appropriation on Knowles part."Just going to leave this pic from Beyonc Levis campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist" she stated.Reps for Levis and Beyonc did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's for comment.

I'm not the most proud of that, but at the time, it seemed like it was okay," he recalled.SHARK BITES BEACH FISHERMAN WHO DRAGGED THRASHING PREDATOR BACK TO WATER AFTER CATCHBut things took a turn for the worse when their sneaky operation was exposed on CCTV, and local authorities came calling."They're threatening us with literally life imprisonment if we don't turn over the drone and turn ourselves in," he revealed.Left with little choice, his crew ditched the drone and weighed their next steps."We had a guy fly in and take out hard drives with the footage, and the crew was freaking out," Galante told Hannity.Seeking help, he called the U.S. embassy and explained the situation. Their reply was blunt: "Well, you broke the law. There's nothing we can do. Click."CLICK HERE TO JOIN FOX NATIONThe team had to strategize again, this time formulating a plan to stagger their departure and fly out of the country in pairs on different days to break down their large group and appear less suspicious.As the head of the crew, Galante went first, and what happened next only added to the nail-biting encounter.To learn what happened next and how Galante was nearly sentenced to death, subscribe to Fox Nation and begin streaming the August 5 installment of "Sean" now.
