American veterans working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) want to set the record straight on whats happening on the ground nearly two years into the war.Jason Murray, Scott Weimer and Brandon Zielinski all U.S. military veterans are working to ensure Palestinians in Gaza get the food they need.All three men spoke with Fox News Digital and said that they are proud of the work theyre doing on the ground with GHF."We kind of built a plane in flight not even knowing where we were going to land," Murray said of the situation.GHF began its operations in May 2025, more than a year and a half after the war began. While facing challenges distributing aid in Gaza, Murray said he has seen parallels to his military service, which has helped him as a GHF volunteer.US-BACKED GAZA AID GROUP LAUNCHES RESERVATION SYSTEM AFTER TRUMP CALLS FOR INNOVATION IN WARZONE DELIVERIESWeimer told Fox News Digital that when the opportunity presented itself, it seemed like a "natural fit" and that he felt he could fill a need in a way that others couldnt. He also said that his service experience, along with Murrays, worked in this type of environment where they were able to find people with the right skills and put them where theyd be most useful.When he was in the military, Zielinski said he experienced a lot of bilateral training in which he did not always speak the same language as his counterparts. He said his experience working through language barriers has helped in his interactions with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which coordinates with GHF.All three men spoke of the desperation they saw from hungry Palestinians trying to get food. They also described bad actors taking advantage of the situation including Hamas operatives and gang members trying to harm people working with GHF, especially Palestinian locals.Murray gave Fox News Digital some insight as to how the IDF and GHF coordinate when it comes to keeping bad actors out and letting civilians in need get to the aid."From a security standpoint, our goal is to provide aid in a safe and secure manner. Hamas does operate in this area. Again, we know that. We have been told through various means that, Hey, Hamas was here today," Murray told Fox News Digital.He also said that the threat of Hamas is not one that GHF personnel take lightly.HAMAS LOSING IRON GRIP ON GAZA AS US-BACKED GROUP GETS AID TO PALESTINIANS IN NEEDWeimer echoed Murrays sentiment, saying that the GHF personnel "absolutely see Hamas in the background," but their focus in the foreground is working to get aid to those in need. He also gave Zielinskis team credit for warding off the bad actors who try to interfere with GHFs mission."They are amazing because the amount of people that are seeking food and seeking aid can be overwhelming at times. I have never once seen any of us overreact to what would be, I think, to anybody, a very scary situation," Weimer said of Zielinski and his team.Before Zielinskis team gets to work, theyre usually given an IDF briefing on the security situation regarding the 48 hours or so prior to their shift. Zielinski told Fox News Digital that he has seen changes to the secure distribution sites (SDS) over time due to the threats that exist in the area."We've had pistols seen before, there's been AKs seen before. There's grenades that went off," Zielinski told Fox News Digital.He also said that his team looks for patterns, records them and then turns into intelligence officials information or materials that can be used to catch bad actors."We'll see down the line that, okay, Hey, we've seen this person before, he looked very suspicious, and next thing you know, this is a guy that has a pistol on him," Zielinski said.US-BACKED GAZA AID GROUP LAUNCHES BOLD NEW SYSTEM TO DELIVER FOOD DIRECTLY TO FAMILIESWhen asked what the American people should know about the reality on the ground in Gaza, the volunteers all said that its important to do some research.Weimer told Fox News Digital that the media depictions of GHF upset him because theyre "so far askew." He said he has called home to tell his family that they should not "believe the hype.""I guess that's what I would tell the American people is, you know, these people that are here, these military veterans that lived a long honorable life, we would never be a part of something [like] what I've seen in the media," Weimer said. "It really actually sickens me, it's just so far askew."Zielinski emphasized the passion that GHF volunteers have for the work that they do. He said that the people he works with in the war-torn enclave strive to do whatever possible to help civilians in need.Since it began operating in May, GHF says it has delivered more than 160 million meals to Palestinians in need. The organization has not operated in the smoothest environment. Despite facing terror threats and international criticism, GHF maintains its call to the international community to join its mission to deliver food to those who need it."Everybody wants to help, and everybody sees the reward for doing so We all just enjoy doing it," Zielinski said.

The gesture, Kolvet said was her way of showing strength and reminding the world of Charlies faith.Kolvet called Erika as strong as iron a lioness and praised her courage in the face of devastating loss.He added that Charlies mission of faith, patriotism and family would not stop with his death.

And we have to ask ourselves, how did we go from a country where we were able and founded upon the idea of civil debate, to a place where you can shoot someone and kill them the way this guy did [to] Charlie, based on having a differing opinion? saidLaraTrump, the host ofFox News' My View with Lara Trump.And, you know, you look at the way especially I think conservatives have been framed by the legacy media, the names we've all been called. Charlie's been called those names. Donald Trump has been called those names, but conservatives as a whole have been called fascists and Nazis and racists consistently, she continued.Those kind of words evoke a visceral reaction in people. True racists, true Nazis, and true fascists are horrible individuals. Charlie was none of those things. Donald Trump is none of those things, Lara Trump added.Lara Trump also said,Look at what the legacy media has parroted, the way they have consistently framed conservatives in those ways over the past decade.Really, what do you expect to happen? At a certain point people are going to start to take matters into their own hands. We have to be responsible for our words. Words have consequences. And so, sadly, this is what happens. Sadly, you have assassination attempts on a former and current president. Sadly, Charlie Kirk is no longer with us. These people need to start reporting the truth and stop putting words out there they know are not true, she said.Sat, 13 Sep 2025 09:04:29 -0400[Video ID]The family of the suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination played an "almost unheard of" role in helping turn him in, an expert told Fox News Digital.Police say 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was identified and reported to authorities with the help of his own family a decision one expert described as extraordinary and profoundly difficult."Life is never going to be the same for them," Susan Constantine, a human behavior specialist, told Fox News Digital. "The fact that they stood up, did what was right, even as difficult as it was their own son, their own blood, to think that their own blood was capable of carrying out such a heinous act. It has got to be a weight that none of us could ever imagine on our shoulders."Constantine, who specializes in threat assessment and deception detection, said the family's actions reflect "a moral compass" and may even serve as a model for other families confronted with signs of radicalization.Sat, 13 Sep 2025 08:38:39 -0400[image]The suspect accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk is set to face charges in the coming days as Utah residents remember the alleged killer as a person who was "very quiet" and "kept to himself."Tyler Robinson, 22, was taken into custody Thursday on suspicion of aggravated murder, "felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury" and "obstruction of justice capital/first degree felony conduct," according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Fox News.

And hes not one of those people," Jaida Funk, a 22-year-old who lives in the same neighborhood as Robinson, told The Associated Press.

He described the family as "pretty quiet," mentioning the suspects father keeps busy as a contractor and that, "Theyre not unlike most families."Sat, 13 Sep 2025 09:09:24 -0400[image]"Real Time" host Bill Maher and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro argued Friday over where the assassin of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk appears to fall politically."The reality isyou can break down the death threats and where they are coming from," Shapiro argued.After a manhunt for Kirks assassin, authorities arrested 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson in connection with the crime. Among the various etchings written on the suspects casings and unfired rounds were "Hey fascist! Catch!" and "Bella ciao," a reference to an Italian, anti-fascist anthem sung during World War II.Shapiro, a conservative commentator and former attorney, made the case that Kirks alleged killer is on the "political left.""If we are not politically correct, then we understand that if theres a shooting at a synagogue, it is very likely to be either a white supremacist or a radical Muslim," Shapiro began. "If it is a shooting of a Republican politician, it is very likely to be a trans, antifa, Marxist shooter.""That is just not true," Maher countered. "We dont know what this kid is."The late-night host sparred with Shapiro about his claim, arguing, "We dont know sh-t."This is an excerpt from an article by Stephanie Samsel.Sat, 13 Sep 2025 09:08:17 -0400[Tweet URL]Good Ranchers, a company focused on making good quality meat more accessible to Americans, paid homage to Charlie Kirk, the company's very first sponsor."We first met him backstage at a small church in Houston. We were pregnant with our 4th baby, and life felt overwhelming. Charlie believed in us when he had no reason to. That belief was a lifeline," Good Ranchers wrote on X. "When we launched online in 2021, Charlie did ad reads for us on his show and promoted us on social media without charging anything extra. No long-term deal, no big contract. Just generosity."Good Ranchers said one of its competitors approached Kirk with "a massive budget," but the Turning Point USA CEO refused."Charlie cared more about small business and the American dream than a paycheck. That kind of loyalty is rare, and it changed everything for us."The company added, "We will never forget what he did for us. Thank you, Charlie."Sat, 13 Sep 2025 09:17:27 -0400[Tweet URL]Office Depot fired an employee at its Portage, Michigan, store on Friday after a video went viral on social media showing employees refusing to print posters of Charlie Kirk that a customer ordered for a vigil honoring the late conservative activist.The company said in a statement to Fox News Digital that it is "deeply concerned by the unfortunate customer experience" that took place at Store 3382. In the video, a person recording can be heard telling a trio of employees that they came into the store earlier in the night to pick up an order for posters to be used at a vigil.An employee, who identified herself as one of the store's managers, responded by saying, "Yea, so, we don't print propaganda." She then doubled down and said, "It's propaganda. I'm sorry. We don't print that here."When the person recording the video asked what makes the posters propaganda, she said, "Because he's a political figure and I don't have to..." before another employee cut her off and said the general manager would be in on Monday.Office Depot said Friday night that an "immediate internal review" was launched and the employee involved in the incident is "no longer with the organization." The company also said it reached out to the customer as soon as it learned of the incident "to address their concerns and seek to fulfill their order to their satisfaction.""The behavior displayed by our associate is completely unacceptable and insensitive, violates our company policies, and does not reflect the values we uphold at Office Depot. On behalf of the Company, we sincerely apologize for this regrettable situation," the statement said.The company did not state which employee was fired, and said it will "continue to aggressively investigate the matter" and action will be taken where it is appropriate.The statement ended with, "We are committed to reinforcing training with all team members to ensure our standards of respect, integrity, and customer service are upheld at every location.

That is grotesque. It is a betrayal of the values every educator and public servant should embody."Proto added that Kirks beliefs were "grounded in faith and love of country," and he "never called for violence."Proto also accused Beckert of wanting to silence those who disagree with him."His words read like an endorsement of political violence," Proto wrote. "Farmington parents and taxpayers must ask themselves: is this the example they want for their children?"This is an excerpt of an article by Fox News' Brie Stimson.Sat, 13 Sep 2025 09:05:03 -0400[Video ID]Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, made her first public remarks just two days after her husband was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.Standing next to her husbands empty studio chair and clutching his cross necklace as she spoke, her podium bore the words: May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior.Thousands had been waiting to hear from Erika, not only as Charlies partner in life but as a mother of their two young children and a leader in her own right.She first thanked first responders and family's supporters, especially President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. "Mr. President, my husband loved you," she declared.From that stage, Erika shared Charlies private conviction about what would matter most if he had ever entered politics. Charlie always said that if he ever ran for office his top priority would be to revive the American family, the mother-of-two said.She also pointed to one of Charlies life-guiding scriptures. One of Charlies favorite Bible verses was Ephesians 5:25: Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her.Erika said that verse was more than words for her husband, but a reflection of his life and sacrifice. My husband laid down his life for me, for our nation, for our children. He showed the ultimate and true covenantal love.Even in mourning, Erika emphasized her faith. Our world is filled with evil. But our God is so good. So incredibly good.She refused to take her husband's death in stride. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry. To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It wont. I refuse to let that happen. It will become stronger. Bolder. Louder and greater than ever," she said.She announced that TPUSAs campus tours and AmericaFest will continue, and grow. There will be even more tours in the years to come, she said. The radio and podcast show he was so proud of will go on.Erika admitted she hadn't slept since her late husband's death and is still showing up as a present mother to her two small children despite the circumstances. When I got home last night, Gigi, our daughter, ran into my arms She asked, Wheres daddy?

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, rejected the idea that far-left rhetoric led to conservative activist Charlie Kirks killing, defending her right to refer to President Donald Trump as "wannabe Hitler."Kirks death has sparked a nationwide conversation about political violence, particularly whether referring to ones opposition as "fascist" or "Hitler" encourages unstable radicals to target them in lone wolf attacks. According to law enforcement reports, bullet casings found near where Kirk was killed were inscribed with anti-fascist messages.Since the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump, Republicans have accused members of the media and Democratic opponents of fueling violence by repeatedly comparing him to the Nazi leader.Crockett, however, argued during her Friday appearance on the "The Breakfast Club" that it is actually Trump who has fostered a culture of political violence. While she denounced political violence, she also condemned Republicans for "presuming that [the assassin] is somebody that came from our side of the aisle."I'M A DEMOCRAT, AND CHARLIE KIRK'S MURDER MUST UNITE ALL AMERICANS AGAINST VIOLENCE"Even if it came from someone on our side of the aisle, lets assume the worst, OK, so lets talk about it," she said. "Lets talk about what radicalized him."She went on to point the finger at Trump."So, we've got to talk about like what it means when you're running for president, or you're running for one of these higher offices, and you go out there and you talk about beating people up, you go out there and you say things like, 'I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street in New York and I could still win,'" she said."We got to talk about, like that, that is next level," she said. "Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, you know, wannabe Hitler, all those things are like, not necessarily saying, 'Go out and hurt somebody.' But when you're literally telling people at rallies, 'Yeah, beat them up' and that kind of stuff, you are promoting a culture of violence."CHARLIE KIRK WARNED ASSASSINATION CULTURE IS SPREADING ON THE LEFT IN EERIE ONLINE POST MONTHS BEFORE MURDERCLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREDuring the same interview, she argued the vast majority of mass shootings are linked to "White supremacy ideology.""Its always some White supremacy kind of thing thats going on. It's not Black folk that are going out there, its not immigrants that are going out there. But what cities are we going into? Black cities, because we are supposedly the ones that commit all the crime," she said.When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson demanded Crockett clarify her comments."What on earth did Jasmine Crockett mean when she said she wasnt necessarily encouraging her supporters to hurt Republicans? It sure sounds like shes justifying political violence," Jackson said. "She needs to clarify this immediately. Her comments are not only deeply troubling, but they only serve to further divide and radicalize her left-wing supporters and its despicable that she would try and point fingers at President Trump for the assassination of his dear friend, Charlie Kirk."

On "The View" Wednesday, most of the co-hosts criticized Cracker Barrel's abandoned rebrand except for Whoopi Goldberg, who felt that the restaurant was due for a facelift.Goldberg said many people "lost their minds" following the iconic restaurant's rebrand announcement and argued that it needed "a little dusting off."The other co-hosts disagreed, arguing the rebrand was a mistake that stripped away the nostalgia customers expect when visiting."You're going into a little country store, you might as well be on Little House on the Prairie. There was a barrel and games and I needed it to stay that way," co-host Sara Haines said.CRACKER BARREL ANTI-WOKE CRITICS SLAMMED AS UNINTELLIGENT BY BOSTON GLOBE FOOD CRITICHaines fellow co-host Sunny Hostin agreed, noting the restaurants unique "Old Country Store" flair signals shes "about to get some good cheese grits" and biscuits when she visits.Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin added that she enjoyed Cracker Barrels tightly packed seating arrangement and called the proposed new logo "boring."Speculating on the restaurant's decision to overhaul its classic aesthetic, co-host Joy Behar questioned why some labeled the rebrand as "woke.""I know. I actually know," Goldberg replied, standing up and pointing at the two Cracker Barrel logos behind them. She jokingly suggested that supporters of President Donald Trump were upset because they removed the "orange" man from the logo, taking a swipe at the president."So, I understand they dont want to lose that orange man anywhere they can get him," she ribbed.MSNBC HOST SAYS HES SICK OF 'SNOWFLAKES' SLAMMING CRACKER BARREL LOGO REDESIGNCLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREGoldberg then returned to her case for why Cracker Barrel remodeled in the first place, insisting "woke" had nothing to do with the decision."I mean, you know, guys, they just they wanted to make it a little nicer inside. Its not woke or unwoke. It has nothing to do with that," she asserted. "They wanted to upgrade it, and it became about something else. And so now all the things that folks kvetched about, you know, Why dont they do something about these seats, or, Why dont they' you've hurt their feelings so much they've gone back, and now theyve left it."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe other co-hosts clearly didn't share Goldberg's view. Haines applauded when Cracker Barrels decision to scrap its plans was mentioned, while Griffin added, "As they should the way God intended!"

"Every connection, every group, every link will be investigated and anyone involved in this matter, anywhere in the world they might be, will be brought to justice."The apartment Robinson and his partner shared is in the same southern Utah community Robinson's parents live in. It is approximately four hours away from Utah Valley University, where Robinson allegedly shot Kirk.Kirk was killed Wednesday as he spoke to a crowd at the school's campus in Orem. Authorities believe a single shot was fired from the roof of a building some 200 yards away.

In the days following Charlie Kirk's assassination, Utahns have united at memorials and candlelit vigils to honor the 31-year-old conservative influencer's life and legacy."It's really important we support each other," Republican Utah state Senate President Stuart Adams told Fox News Digital. "I'm very proud of our community for coming together to try to support one another as we work our way through this."As local leaders urge the community to lean on their friends, family and neighbors, many have echoed Utah Republican Gov. Spencer Cox's call to action against political violence."History will dictate if this is a turning point for our country, but every single one of us gets to choose right now if this is a turning point for us," Cox said during a press conference on Friday after announcing the suspect, Tyler Robinson, had been arrested.UTAH STUDENTS LIFT VOICES IN PRAYER AT VIGIL FOR CHARLIE KIRKS CHRISTIAN LEGACY: 'FELT CALLED BY GOD'Adams said it's vital that Americans put their phones down, as Kirk encouraged, to contribute something constructive to the community. EYEWITNESS DESCRIBES MOMENT CHARLIE KIRK WAS ASSASSINATED: 'WE KNEW IMMEDIATELY'"This is a turning point for America as we see what we want to become, what we want to do, what we want America to be, and surely we don't want America to be filled with hate. We want to fill it with love, with the type of discourse and free speech that Charlie represented," Adams said.Utah Attorney General Derek Brown told Fox News Digital that Utahns can honor Kirk's life by modeling his commitment to open dialogue."He engaged in a productive, respectful dialogue, and he showed a model for how to engage productively with people that you might disagree with," Brown said, adding that "he was modeling the very behavior that he encouraged people to do" until the moment he died.As attorney general, Brown has collaborated with local and federal law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Department of Justice to ensure Kirk's assassin "pays the price for what he's done.""If that's state law, if that's federal law, if that is a combination of both, we'll make sure justice is served in this case," Brown said.While Brown carries out his job, he said it's the community's job to "learn how to cope with what's happened, to learn how to heal.""I have people close to me in my own family and on my own staff even, who were part of the experience. They were there, they saw it happen. I think it's important for us to process the trauma and the experience and to understand what it is and, ideally, to use it to bring us together," he said.Taylor Bentley, a Utah resident who said he was 15 to 20 yards from Kirk when he was assassinated, told Fox News Digital that he has loved the message of unity from community leaders, particularly the governor.And Brown agreed that Cox's unifying message has "showcased the best that we have to offer as a state."Bentley said Cox has "done a phenomenal job in pushing a message of unity, of faith, of hope and of embracing the message that Charlie pushed out there of open dialogue, and of avoiding violence, and of approaching our disagreements with words instead of violence."The governor said Kirk's "political assassination" is an "attack on the American experiment," and he has urged not just Utah residents, but Americans, to live out Kirk's legacy by engaging peacefully and condemning political violence.Since the assassination on Wednesday, Utah residents have organized several events honoring Kirk's life. On Friday night, hundreds of Utah State University students gathered for a vigil hosted by the campus' Turning Point USA chapter.In Orem City Park on Thursday evening, students and local residents paid their respects during a candlelit vigil.A memorial honoring Kirk at the Timpanogos Regional Hospital is filled with "We love you, Charlie" posters, flowers and American flags.

Italian women's boxer Angela Carini alleged she has suffered online abuse in the aftermath of her infamous defeat to Algeria's Imane Khelif at the Paris Olympics last summer.Carini quit her Olympic bout against Khelif after just 46 seconds, as images of the Algerian's punches against Carini shook viewers across the world. Khelif, who previously failed sex eligibility tests for another international competition, went on to win gold.The incident prompted global backlash from advocates for protecting women's sports, especially after Carini quit her match and cried to reporters about the pain she felt from Khelif's punches.On Thursday, Carini published a video on Instagram with screenshots of messages of abuse she has received on social media some begging her not to go to the Olympics again, others calling her "a coward" and "the shame of the Italy team" and a voiceover of the 26-year-old explaining how she felt."Have you ever wondered how hard it was for me to face these words? What I had to endure and endure day after day? What I had to face in my silence, while preserving my health from a stupid social network, from people who speak and say words without thinking twice?" Carini said. "Because for them it's just a sentence, it's just a word, it's just fun, it's just wanting to follow the crowd."Carini's decision to quit the fight fueled a discussion far beyond Paris about whether Khelif should have been allowed to compete, with President Donald Trump and Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni speaking out.She said the incident has "destroyed" her career."For many it is easy to forget the past, but for me it wasn't," Carini said in her video. "That past that marked my life. That past that left wounds inside me that I try to heal day after day, but like an infected wound, it bleeds and hurts."That past that changed and destroyed my career, built year after year with sacrifices, dedication, tenacity and a lot of passion.... That career that is underestimated and belittled by those who preferred to have a laugh for a few moments, preferred to throw the stone."FORMER UPENN SWIMMER REFLECTS ON BEING TEAMMATES WITH LIA THOMASAfter Paris, Carini said she closed herself "in silence" with her family and "tried to rebuild [herself] in small pieces."Carini returned to the ring in December, winning her eighth Italian title and gold at the World Boxing Cup in Poland."Putting all the disappointment aside, I got back into that ring, reconfirming myself as Italian champion and bringing home medals from important international tournaments," Carini said. "Getting back into that ring was a tough challenge.""These words of mine will not change the world. I will not make people become kinder. But at least I invite everyone to reflect.... A word, a gesture, a command can hurt and destroy a person."The International Olympic Committee (IOC) defended the results of the Paris Games, stating that Khelif and another boxer that faced gender eligibility concerns were the victims of a "sudden and arbitrary decision by the IBA." Khelif has also publicly denied being transgender.International Boxing Association (IBA) President Umar Kremlev demanded in July that Khelifs Olympic gold medal be stripped in an effort to achieve "transparency and openness." Khelif was previously disqualified from the IBA for failing a gender eligibility test. Kremlev claimed at the time that unpublished DNA test results showed Khelif had XY chromosomes.World Boxing, the international governing body for the sport, announced a new policy in August that introduces mandatory sex testing to ensure only females compete in the women's category. Khelif has appealed the new policy that will keep the athlete out of any competitions pending the results of genetic testing.Trump previously said there will be a "strong form of testing" when asked about potential genetic testing for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics at a press conference on Aug. 5.New IOC president Kirsty Coventry has initiated a task force to look at gender eligibility issues.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
