    ESPN star Stephen A Smith rips Browns rookie for 'very dumb' comments about media
    ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith ripped Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel after the rookie took a shot at the media following the teams game against the Philadelphia Eagles.Gabriels remarks about "entertainers" and "competitors" during the game on Saturday were initially thought to be about Shedeur Sanders. However, he clarified during the postgame press conference that they were about the media.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMSmith said on "First Take" he knew the comments werent about Sanders. Still, he called Gabriels comments about the media "stupid.""I never believed he was talking about Shedeur Sanders. I totally believed him when he said he was talking about the media. I wanna get that out the way first," Smith said. "I think when you heard the comparisons, I think the comparisons were emanating from the media more than anybody else. Having said that, Dillon Gabriel, respectfully, it was stupid. A very dumb comment to make."First of all, in every walk of life far beyond the parameters of the football field people are competing. We compete here on television. You compete with radio shows. You compete on Wall Street. You compete on Madison Avenue. Everything, especially in America as it pertains to a capitalistic society, involves competition. To the victor goes the spoils. Jimmy Johnson said it best, I will be very, very consistent in treating you as inconsistently as possible. Those who produce get treated differently than those who dont. What he said echoes the mentality of all of America, practically and most certainly, the world as we see things being globalized more and more every day."TITANS' CAM WARD SPARKS PRACTICE FIGHT WITH JEFFERY SIMMONS AFTER MOCKING HIS SIGNATURE CELEBRATIONSmith said, to him, the comment was a reverberation from the pressure Gabriel was feeling in his quarterback battle with Sanders. He warned the former Oregon Ducks star that he better be prepared for the increased level of scrutiny coming his way."It was a stupid, idiotic, immature comment because clearly you were feeling the heat because a lot of people were talking about how Shedeur should be QB No. 2. But I know he wasnt talking about Shedeur Sanders," Smith added. "He was talking about the media. But heres the problem youve now heightened the level of scrutiny coming your way because the media, including myself, heard what you said."So, in other words, its entertainment its not competition. Really? So, when you go out there and you compete like trash, because you will have days when you look like that, we're going to remember those comments and were going to remember the shot that you took at the fourth estate, which is the media institution."Gabriel was 13-of-18 passing with 143 yards and an interception.The Browns named Joe Flacco the Week 1 starter and now the battle is on for the backup spot.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Zohran Mamdani supporters unfazed by Trump's 'communist' label, defend the candidate's affordability fight
    Since Zohran Mamdani's primary upset earlier this summer, the New York City Democratic mayoral nominee has been branded a "communist" by President Donald Trump.Mamdani supporters, who spoke to Fox News Digital at a canvass launch in Prospect Park on Sunday, dismissed the term, arguing that his primary win represented more than arbitrary labels."It's not necessarily communism that won the New York City primary, but the vision that he's delivering for a more affordable New York," Nina, a door-knocker wearing an "Educators for Zohran" T-shirt, said. "That's what people voted for, and that's what he won on, and that's what he's going to win on."Mamdani is a self-described Democratic socialist who has been endorsed by progressive leaders, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. Trump was quick to label him a "100% Communist Lunatic" after Mamdani declared victory in June.ZOHRAN MAMDANI LAUNCHES ANTI-TRUMP TOUR ACROSS FIVE BOROUGHS IN NEW YORK CITYPerry, another Brooklyn canvasser, flipped the script on Trump's nickname for Mamdani, telling Fox News Digital to "look at the people who are saying he can't do it or who are calling him a socialist or communist."NY DEMS WHO HAVE YET TO ENDORSE MAMDANI UNITE IN HIS DEFENSE AGAINST TRUMPBridget, a New York City teacher, and Perry both shook their heads in disagreement when asked if those labels worry them."It's not about ideology," Nicholas, a Mamdani supporter who volunteered in Prospect Park on Sunday for the campaign's canvass launch, said. "It's not trying to demonize these terms, communism and socialism, which, quite frankly, I think the American public does not have a very good idea of what those terms exactly mean."Nicholas said Mamdani's campaign is "much bigger than that."Among the few dozen supporters who attended the canvass launch, many were teachers."I want a mayor who's going to stand up for students," Bridget said, telling Fox News Digital that it's critical New York City has a mayor who is "going to fight against the Trump administration for the rights and safety of our students."Mamdani concluded his "Five Boroughs Against Trump" tour across New York City last week, visiting a borough a day to spotlight how the Trump administration's sweeping second-term agenda, on key issues including immigration and the economy, is impacting everyday New Yorkers."I have a lot of students coming from immigrant backgrounds who are worried about their safety, about their parents' safety," Nicholas said. "I have kids who are worried that ICE agents will come into the school and take them out of the classroom."Nicholas explained that's why having a candidate like Mamdani, who is committed to protecting immigrant communities from "what Trump and his cronies are trying to do, in disappearing people," is so important to him."Having a mayor who stands up against that firmly and boldly, that's why I'm out here," he added. "That's why I want Zohran to be mayor."Perry said she supports Mamdani because he "has a large vision for the city," particularly on housing."Let's be big again," Perry added, telling Fox News Digital that she loves his "upbeatness" and "openness," the likes of which she said, "We haven't seen in a while."Mamdani has vowed to freeze rents if elected this November. He has accused Adams of appointing Rent Guidelines Board members to raise rents on stabilized apartments.Former Mayor Bill de Blasio's board voted to freeze the rent three times during his tenure.Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost the primary to Mamadani, called the socialist's plan to freeze rent "politically convenient posture," and said such a move would hurt landlords who would be "unable to maintain their buildings."Nina said that Mamdani's campaign promises, including fast and free buses and universal child care, "address the affordability crisis in New York City" that creates a trickle-down impact on New Yorkers, like her high school students."I'm out here as an educator," Nina said. "I'm here as a New Yorker who was raised here, who wants to stay here."Under Mamdani's leadership, Nina said she believes it's possible.

    Im a psychiatrist heres how to reduce anxiety in just 15 seconds'
    Anxiety can creep up at any time, in any place.But one small practice can help calm the body and mind, according to experts.In an interview with Fox News Digital, Dr. Daniel Amen psychiatrist, brain imaging specialist and founder of Amen Clinics in California recommended a simple way to reduce anxiety in a society that is "chronically stressed."MAKING THESE 11 LIFESTYLE CHANGES COULD WARD OFF ALZHEIMER'S, EXPERT SAYS"These high levels of cortisol [from stress] really damage your brain and put fat on your belly," he warned. "So having a stress management program is absolutely critical."The easiest approach to reducing anxiety, according to Amen, is diaphragmatic breathing, a deep-breathing technique that fills the belly with air and contracts the diaphragm. (See the video at the top of the article.)Below is a breakdown of the breathing pattern.By taking twice as long to breathe out, it triggers an "automatic relaxation response," Amen noted."It increases something called parasympathetic tone, which is telling your body the opposite of fight or flight Things are okay, we're safe. Let's calm down," he said.In addition to calming the mind, heart rate variability improves significantly with this breathing technique, slowing the heart rate and improving cardiovascular health, according to Amen."All told, it's about 15 seconds, and if you just do that four to six times, you'll notice that your whole body begins to relax and feel calm," he said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERMany people who experience anxiety episodes like panic attacks tend to leave the situation, whether it happens at the grocery store or at a party, Amen noted.But the expert said that when experiencing a panic attack, it's best to "never leave" otherwise, the anxiety will begin to control you.Instead, he recommends staying, breathing deeply and "killing the ANTs," also known as the "automatic negative thoughts" that come to mind.For more Health articles, visitfoxnews.com/health."Theres nowhere in school where people teach us not to believe every stupid thing we think," he added."Whenever you're sad, mad, nervous or out of control, just write down what you're thinking and ask yourself, Is that really true?"

    Ex-LSU coach makes bold Arch Manning comparison ahead of Texas' 1st game of 2025
    Joe Burrow completed one of the greatest college football seasons of all time when he set the single-season record for touchdown passes (60) on his way to a national championship in 2019.Former Western Kentucky quarterback Bailey Zappe eventually broke the record Burrow set when he threw 62 touchdown passes in 2021.

    Joy Reid claims 'mediocre White men' like Trump, Elvis can't 'invent anything,' steal culture from other races
    Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid condemned President Donald Trump, Elvis Presley and others on Friday as some of historys many "mediocre White men" whose achievements are stolen or counterfeit.Reid criticized Trumps review of the Smithsonian during an interview with Wajahat Ali for his "The Left Hook" substack, in an episode titled, "How Mediocre White Men and Their Fragility Are Destroying America."They argued that across Americas institutions, there is a phenomenon of "mediocre White men" with no actual culture of their own who co-opt the achievements of Black people to aggrandize themselves.Ali opened the episode by talking about Trump reforming the Kennedy Center in what his critics call a hostile takeover. The institution, which in recent years had featured drag queen performances, is now being reformed to show decidedly more conservative and pro-American content. Trump announced this year's Kennedy Center awards last week, which he will also be hosting.JOY REID FLOATS SPECULATION THAT HER RACE, 'ANXIETY' SURROUNDING TRUMP PLAYED ROLE IN MSNBC FIRING"These people cannot create culture on their own," Ali said. "Without Black people, Brown people, the DEIs, there's no culture in America. We make the food better. We make the economy better. We make the music better. Right? MAGA can't create culture. They got Cracker Barrel and Kid Rock."Reid and Ali claimed that White conservatives practice their own variant of outrage culture where they complain about what they say. "They don't have the intellectual rigor to actually argue or debate with us, right? And what they do is they tattle and tell. They run and tell teacher that the Black lady or the Brown man was mean to me. And that's what they always do," Reid said.Reid, who initially wore a hat dedicated to the historically debatable 1619 Project, then changed to one with the letters "FDT," took special umbrage at Trumps efforts to review the Smithsonian's historical exhibits ahead of Americas 250th anniversary.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"They cant fix the history they did. Their ancestors made this country into a slave a slave hell, but they can clean it up now because they got the Smithsonian. They can get rid of all the slavery stuff," she said. "They got PragerU that can lie about the history to the children. They cant originally invent anything more than they ever were able to invent good music."We Black folk gave yall country music, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, rock and roll. They couldnt even invent that, but they have to call a White man The King. Because they couldnt make rock and roll, so they have to stamp The King on a man whose main song was stolen from an overweight Black woman," Reid continued.Reid was referring to "The King" Elvis Presley singing "Hound Dog," which was first recorded by Big Mama Thornton, a Black blues singer, and written by two Jewish-American songwriters. Elvis version, which was more upbeat, with a faster rhythm and slightly altered lyrics, boosted his rise to fame in 1956 after his previous breakout hit, "Heartbreak Hotel" earlier that year. Elvis helped pioneer the rockabilly (a portmanteau of rock n roll and "hillbilly") sub-genre of rock n roll, a mix of country music and rhythm and blues, and was candid throughout his career about his influences from Black American music.White House spokesman Harrison Fields responded to Reid's comments, saying she was "too unhinged for MSNBC.""Joyless Reid is an ungrateful hack who fails to acknowledge her privilege. Whatever remains of her success would only be possible in the United States of America, the same country she degrades for sport. She was too unhinged for MSNBC and was fired. Instead of changing her act, shes doubled down on stupid," he said.Fox News Digital reached out to PragerU and did not receive an immediate reply.

    Bryan Kohberger flexed like 'American Psycho' and spent Christmas night reading about serial killers
    As digital forensics experts analyzed the cellphone of Bryan Kohberger, the 30-year-old failed criminologist turned convicted murderer, they drew similarities between him and the fictional main character of the book and movie, "American Psycho," the narcissistic banker Patrick Bateman and they discovered that he spent Christmas night a month after the slayings reading dozens of articles about serial killers."I watched American Psycho back in the day, and how vain he was, where he would always take like naked photos of himself flexing, similar to that, like with him just in pants, but topless from the waist up, flexing [in] a mirror forward, backward, making different expressions, but just for himself," said Heather Barnhart, the senior director of forensics research with the internationally known digital investigations firm, Cellebrite. "It was like he admired his body."Her husband, Jared Barnhart, a former Maryland police officer who also works at Cellebrite, also worked the case.IDAHO MURDER DOCUMENTS REVEAL VICTIM'S STALKING FEARS AND KOHBERGER'S INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR AT SCHOOL"He takes his shirt off, flexes his muscles, and takes a picture of himself, and then just goes back to whatever he was doing before," he said of Kohberger. "Nonsense."The Barnharts said they did not have the authority to share the photos, but they described them as narcissistic and strange. He even took photos at bizarre angles, highlighting himself from behind and in profile.BRYAN KOHBERGER CALLED HIS MOM WHILE RETURNING TO IDAHO MURDER SCENE THE NEXT DAY, EXPERT REVEALSOne selfie, previously unveiled after prosecutors included it in court documents, showed Kohberger smiling and giving a thumb's up in his bathroom hours after the slayings. He had a bandaid on his knuckles, the Barnharts noted, and his hands were red from apparent scrubbing.BRYAN KOHBERGER PLEADED GUILTY TO IDAHO STUDENT MURDERS, BUT THESE KEY QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWEREDIn another revealed through the media, he also posed in a black hooded sweatshirt."He takes selfies all the time and seemingly does nothing with them," Jared Barnhart said. "They just are in his phone."It would make more sense if he shared them with other people or posted them online, he said, but Kohberger didn't do that. In fact, he barely spoke with anyone, aside from his mom and dad, whom he referred to as "Mother" and "Father.""He seems obsessed with himself, with his parents, with his body," Heather Barnhart said.KOHBERGER PRACTICED HOME INVASIONS AND BURGLARY TECHNIQUES YEARS BEFORE MURDERING IDAHO STUDENTS: NEW BOOKKohberger took efforts to minimize his digital footprint before the murders, according to the Barnharts, and also successfully wiped important information from his laptop. However, they uncovered other damning evidence including that he spent Christmas night reading about serial killers online.One of his key mistakes, the couple said, was that he downloaded some of these websites instead of just reading them online, leaving an obvious trail for them to analyze."All this stuff was sitting there," Jared Barnhart told Fox News Digital. "You know he's a criminology major. Could you excuse it? Maybe. But not at this point not for this guy."But despite some damning evidence, Kohberger successfully hid all traces of why he might have committed the crime, according to the Barnharts."I think that's the most important point to me, is he cleaned up what was probably the story all the victims' families need to hear, right? The why, the how, why my kid? All of that is gone," Jared Barnhart said. "And we tried like crazy to find something, you know, to tell these families, and it just isn't there."BRYAN KOHBERGER TRADED DEATH PENALTY FOR LIFE SENTENCE THAT COULD STILL END VIOLENTLY BEHIND BARSHis search history included searches for the term "psychopath," which his lawyers didn't want used at trial, and about serial killers. Prior to his arrest but after reading a news report about how police had identified a white Hyundai Elantra as the suspect vehicle in the student murders, Kohberger appeared to panic and searched auto detailers and for a replacement car, according to the Barnharts. He also spent a lot of time streaming videos on YouTube and TikTok, they said."On his PC [personal computer], 'psychopath' was a normal word that he typed into a browser, but he could have said it was for his major or research," Heather Barnhart told Fox News Digital.However, he cleared his browsing history for roughly a month leading up to the murders, from Oct. 12, 2022 to Nov. 16.He carried out the slayings on Nov. 13, in a 4 a.m. home invasion attack, stabbing all four victims repeatedly. They were Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. All but Kernodle are believed to have been asleep at the start of the attack.Kohberger pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one of felony burglary last month. He received four consecutive sentences of life with no parole, plus another 10 years. The plea deal required him to waive his right to appeal and his right to seek a sentence reduction.While Kohberger is being held in isolation at the Idaho Maximum Security Institute, a state prison near Boise, he is already reportedly the target of harassment and mockery from fellow inmates.

    'Everybody Loves Raymond' creator explains how to stay funny without getting canceled
    When it comes to avoiding cancel culture in Hollywood, "Everybody Loves Raymond" creator Phil Rosenthal knows a thing or two."I guess you have to be a little more careful, but I'm not sure if that's a bad thing," Rosenthal, who currently stars in Netflix's food and travel series, "Somebody Feed Phil," told Fox News Digital at the Televerse 25 event in Los Angeles. "I think it's good to be sensitive. It doesn't mean you can't be funny, it just means you don't do jokes at other people's expense, maybe, no matter who they are, unless you're punching above your class, right? You want to punch up not down."The idea of "being canceled" has been a hot topic in Hollywood recently.DENZEL WASHINGTON BLASTS CANCEL CULTURE, SAYS FAITH MATTERS MORE THAN FOLLOWERSLast week, Denzel Washington ripped into the concept during an interview with Complex.When asked if he considers the idea of being "canceled," Washington was quick to question the term, asking, "What does that mean to be canceled?"While the reporter explained that the term essentially meant losing public support, Washington responded, "Who cares? What made public support so important to begin with?"Stand-up comedian Nate Jackson recently told Fox News Digital that the cancel culture phenomenon seems to be coming to an end.In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the comic and actor said that with so many entertainment options available, audiences are simply finding people they like to watch rather than banding together to end the careers of performers whose jokes they dont enjoy."No, I think that's kind of a wrap," Jackson said when asked if he believes cancel culture is still a threat. "Yeah, I think people realize that there is someone for everyone, and if someone's not for you, then just don't watch them."For Rosenthal, however, that comedic sensitivity led him to massive success.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERThough it's been nearly 30 years since "Everybody Loves Raymond" first premiered, the beloved sitcom which starred Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton has remained "timeless." "Well, ["Everybody Loves Raymond"] was designed to be timeless. And we did that by not having topical jokes, jokes of the day, you know?" Rosenthal said of the show, which premiered in September 1996. "It would've been easy to do Bill Clinton jokes, let's say, when we were first up. But that dates the show. So we did things that we thought might be universal. Relationships, marriage, sibling rivalry, having kids, having parents. And so it has lasted and this year coming up it will have been 30 years since we were on the air."Rosenthal recalled that pivotal moment when he knew the show would be a hit.WATCH: EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND' CREATOR'S KEY TO AVOID BEING CANCELED IN HOLLYWOOD:"It was like the third episode. Something happened and we got like a 30-second laugh at something from an audience that hadn't seen the show yet," he said. "It hadn't been on TV yet. In the beginning, you're just filming a bunch of shows and you're trying to get any audience you can and they would come, and they didn't know what they were watching. But this laugh was so big that it went beyond just a bit. It became, 'Oh, they're cued into the characters.' And that's when I knew we had something.""Everybody Loves Raymond" aired on CBS from 1996 to 2005 and starred Romano as Ray Barone, a sportswriter living on Long Island across the street from his family. Patricia Heaton played his wife, Debra, along with Brad Garrett as his brother Robert, and Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts as his loving but overbearing parents.'EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND' STAR RAY ROMANO SHARED COSTAR PETER BOYLE WAS THE REASON THE SHOW SURVIVEDThe show earned 15 Primetime Emmys over the course of its run, including two outstanding comedy series wins and one outstanding lead actor in a comedy win for Romano.While there aren't any plans for a reboot, Rosenthal said a reunion is in the works."I'm working on it. A reunion show. Not a reboot of the series but a reunion," he told Fox News Digital."There won't be," Garrett told People magazine earlier this year about a reboot. "And I'm just saying that because that's something that Ray and Phil [Rosenthal] have always said.""There is no show without the parents," Garrett added "They were the catalyst, and to do anything that would resemble that wouldn't be right to the audiences or to the loyal fan base. And it was about those two families, and you can't get around that."Peter Boyle died on Dec. 12, 2006, at age 71. Doris Roberts died on April 17, 2016, at age 90.WATCH: RAY ROMANO QUIT STANDUP COMEDY TWICE BEFORE FINDING MASSIVE SUCCESSFox News Digital's Gabriel Hays contributed to this post.

    5 key moments inside Trumps big day with Zelenskyy, European leaders
    After meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last week, President Donald Trump touted that he had a "very good meeting" with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders at the White House on Monday.Trump, who has voiced he would like to put an end to mass bloodshed in Eastern Europe, called the multilateral meetings on Monday "a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years."In a Truth Social post after the discussions, Trump wrote, "I had a very good meeting with distinguished guests," and that "everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine."Here are the top five takeaways from the presidents "big day" with European leaders.Mondays summit marked a dramatic and noticeable shift from Trump and Vice President JD Vances now-infamous Oval Office meeting with Zelenskyy in February.TRUMP SPARS WITH EUROPEAN LEADER DURING UKRAINE TALKS OVER KEY STEP TO PEACEDuring that meeting, the leaders were caught on camera getting into a heated argument over several topics, including Zelenskyy allegedly not being sufficiently grateful for U.S. support.On Monday, all the tension seemed to have disappeared. Both Trump and Zelenskyy were all smiles throughout the day, and the Ukrainian leader received a warm welcome from Trumps Cabinet, including Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.Both Zelenskyy and European leaders appeared more at ease with Trump throughout the day and took an optimistic tone. After the meetings, European Union President Ursula von der Leyen posted on X, "We are here, as allies and friends, for peace in Ukraine and in Europe. This is an important moment, as we continue to work on strong security guarantees for Ukraine and a lasting and durable peace."Another marked shift from February was Zelenskyy breaking from his trademark jumpsuit attire to wear a suit, something he even joked with the press about while sitting in the Oval Office with Trump.Zelenskyy, who has been criticized for wearing casual attire to meetings with world leaders, wore all-black attire, including a button-down shirt and jacket.TRUMP: ZELENSKYY MEETING NOT 'END OF THE ROAD' FOR US SUPPORT IN SECURING A PEACE DEAL"First of all President Zelenskyy, you look fabulous in that suit," a reporter told Zelenskyy after he sat down with Trump in the Oval Office."You look good," the reporter said before Trump added, "I said the same thing."At another point during the Zelenskyy-Trump bilateral press meeting, the Ukrainian president ribbed a reporter for wearing the same suit he had in February."You're in the same suit. You see, I changed, youre not," Zelenskyy quipped as both he and Trump burst into laughter.On a more substantive note, Trump doubled down on his position that a ceasefire is "not needed" to broker a permanent peace between Ukraine and Russia. He cited his recent successes in negotiating peace agreements between other countries across the globe."I don't think you need ceasefire. You know, if you look at the six deals that I settled this year, they were all at war," Trump said during his press conference with Zelenskyy.SENATE SIGNALS READINESS TO HIT RUSSIA WITH HARD SANCTIONS IF PEACE DEAL FAILS"I didn't do any ceasefires," he went on, adding, "And I know that it might be good to have, but I can also understand strategically why, you know, one country or the other wouldn't want it."In a rare tense moment during the day, Trump clashed with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over the need for a ceasefire.Speaking with Trump and other leaders gathered around a large conference table in the White House, Merz said, "To be honest, we all would like to see a ceasefire at the latest from the next meeting on," adding, "I can't imagine that the next meeting would take place without a ceasefire. So, let's work on that."He urged the leaders, "Let's try to put pressure on Russia, because the credibility of this effort, these efforts we are undertaking today are depending on, at least, a ceasefire from the beginning of the serious negotiations from the next step on. So, I would like to emphasize this aspect and would like to see a ceasefire from the next meeting, which should be a trilateral meeting wherever it takes place."In response, Trump shot back that he is determined "to go directly to a peace agreement" without a ceasefire, saying, "Well, we're going to let the president [Zelenskyy] go over and talk to the president [Putin], and we'll see how that works out."NATO SECRETARY GENERAL TOUTS TRUMP TALKS WITH ZELENSKYY, EU LEADERS: 'VERY SUCCESSFUL DAY'In addition to Zelenskyy, seven major European leaders were present at the White House on Monday, a rare occurrence signaling a united European front and something Trump called an "honor" for the U.S.This follows Zelenskyy doubling down on Sunday that Ukraine will not agree to cede Crimea or any of its territory to Russia as part of a peace deal."Since the territorial issue is so important, it should be discussed only by the leaders of Ukraine and Russia at the trilateral [talks with] Ukraine, United States, Russia," Zelenskyy said.Trump said that though the U.S. would be involved with providing Ukraine with security guarantees after the wars end, he said going forward, Europe must take much of that "burden.""I think that the European nations are going to take a lot of the burden," Trump said. "We're going to help them, and we're going to make it very secure. We also need to discuss the possible exchanges of territory, taking into consideration the current line of contact. That means the war zone, the war line center. Pretty obvious. Very sad, actually, to look at them and negotiating positions."Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron said Europe is aware that it will shoulder much of the weight of responsibility tied to various security guarantees and acknowledged it is necessary in order to preserve each respective countrys safety.'HISTORIC MEETING': GLOBAL LEADERS UNITE IN HOPES OF ENDING THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR"In order to have such a long-standing peace for Ukraine and for the whole continent, we do need the security guarantees," Macron said. "And the first one is clearly a credible Ukrainian army. For the years and decades to come. And the second one is our own commitments. All of us You can be sure that the Europeans are very lucid about the fact that they have their fair share in the security guarantees for Ukraine, but their own security is clearly at stake in this situation."Trump shared that he called Putin after the meetings and that there is already movement on the next step, that is, scheduling a meeting between Zelenskyy and the Russian president. After that meeting, Trump said there would then be a trilateral meeting between Zelenskyy, Putin and himself.PUTIN STATES UKRAINE WAR WOULDN'T HAVE BEGUN IF TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT INSTEAD OF BIDEN: 'CAN CONFIRM'"At the conclusion of the meetings, I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy. After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself," wrote Trump.In another post, Trump called the summit "a big day at the White House.""We have never had so many European Leaders here at one time. A great honor for America!!!" he wrote. "Lets see what the results will be???"

    Is it 'rude' to box up leftovers when someone else pays? Father-son feud sparks debate
    A 28-year-old man got into a dispute with his father after asking for a to-go box at a restaurant dividing diners on Reddit and prompting a larger discussion about etiquette.In a post, the man wrote that the dispute began after his family went out to eat at a diner, on his father's dime."I ordered a main course but also felt like I was in the mood for a side dish, so I ordered it as well," the Reddit user wrote.FAMILY VACATION DRAMA ERUPTS OVER GRANDMOTHER'S REQUEST FOR DINNER WITH HER GROWN KIDS ONLY"My eyes were bigger than my stomach, because I was unable to finish my food.
