"Stand with Charlie!" That message spontaneously appeared throughout the world after the unspeakable violent attack by an extremist. No, it was not the response to the murder of Charlie Kirk this week. It was 10 years ago, and referred to the killing of staff at the Paris-based satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. World leaders, including the French, German and Turkish presidents, joined a march for free speech despite their own speech crackdowns, including prior targeting of the magazine and the victims.The chief editor, Stphane Charbonnier, had refused to be silenced by the French government and declared, "I would rather die standing than live on my knees." He was the first person the gunmen asked for in their attack on the office, and he was one of the first to be killed.FOLLOWING KIRKS ASSASSINATION, LAWMAKERS REACT TO LETHAL POLITICAL CLIMATE: 'VIOLENT WORDS PRECEDE VIOLENT ACTIONS'At the time, I wrote about the breathtaking hypocrisy and noted that one of the few surviving editors of the magazine refused to join the march with those who relentlessly pursued them with criminal investigations. After the march, France, Germany and other Western governments expanded their censorship laws and the prosecution of viewpoints deemed inflammatory or hateful.In the ultimate dishonoring of the memory of the Charlie Hebdo staff, the French officials then proceeded to use their own murders to justify increased prosecutions of speech.The assassination of Kirk in the United States Wednesday is clearly different in one critical respect. There will be no "I am Charlie" campaign on the left. Some have even celebrated the killing while others, mouthing regret, attacked Kirk and suggested that he brought this upon himself.That is hardly a surprise. Kirk spent his tragically short life exposing the hypocrisy and intolerance of the left, particularly in higher education. They hated him for it. Universities and colleges have long been bastions of the left with the purging of conservative or Republican faculty from most departments and the maintenance of an academic echo chamber in classrooms.Kirk challenged all that. He drove many mad by inviting them to debate issues. The response was often violence, including the trashing of tables his group, Turning Point USA, set up on campus quads. Ultimately, he was killed for insisting on being heard.However, we are facing the same danger of self-consuming hypocrisy a decade after that other Charlie shooting. Some on the right are calling for people who denounce Kirk or celebrate his death to be fired. That ranges from professors to public employees.I knew Charlie. While I cannot call myself a close friend, we spoke about the lack of free speech on our campuses and the efforts to cancel or fire those with opposing views. More than anyone today, Kirk brilliantly exposed that hypocrisy by putting himself and his group in harm's way.The way to honor Charlie Kirk's life and legacy is not with hypocrisy and intolerance. That is what he died fighting against.To fire people on campuses for speaking out against Kirk would make an utter mockery of his work and his death. It would be like banning LGBTQ groups in response to the assassination of Harvey Milk in 1978.Kirk wanted unfettered debate. He wanted people to be able to express themselves regardless of how the majority felt about their views. He was the victim, not the advocate, of cancel campaigns.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThere are instances where hateful views may raise grounds for termination. A Secret Service agent is under investigation after dismissing the assassination. Given the need to protect conservative as well as liberal figures (including those in the current administration), the bias in the postings can raise legitimate grounds for inquiry.Likewise, those who use their official, academic, or corporate positions to espouse hateful messages risk termination.However, many of these people were speaking as individuals outside of their positions, and their hateful commentary is not necessarily compromising or conflicting with their positions.Hate speech in the United States is protected speech. The crackdown on speech deemed hateful, inflammatory or intolerant has been the signature of the left, the very thing that Kirk campaigned against.It is never easy to show restraint when you are angry or grieving. After all, many of those objecting to these cases today were silent or supported crackdowns on conservatives for years on and off campuses. They lack any self-awareness or shame in demanding protections that they rarely extend to others with opposing views. That is the value of an age of rage. It gives you license to silence and attack others for their views while insisting that you are the real victim.However, we cannot become those we have long fought against in the free speech community. More importantly, we cannot become those whom Charlie fought against up to the very moment of his murder. We honor his legacy by protecting the thing that Charlie cherished the most. We need to "Stand with Charlie" and support free speech.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JONATHAN TURLEY

As Nate Bargatze gears up to take over one of television's biggest nights, the comedian hopes to lean on what he knows best to make the Emmys a family-friendly night to remember.In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital ahead of Sunday's 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, the comedian opened up about his hosting strategy, explained how his faith has helped shape his comedy over the years, and shared why he refuses to "shy away" from his Christian upbringing."I want it to be a night that's fun," the Tennessee native said of hosting the award show. "The comics that [make controversial jokes], they're great at it and I can't do what they do. And so I just want this night to be I hope that it's just, I don't know, as relaxing as it can be."COMEDIAN NATE BARGATZE TALKS THE IMPORTANCE OF HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH, SAYS HE GOES TO CHURCH AS MUCH AS I CAN"I want people at home to also feel that too. I think it'll make it feel different," he added. "We will have jokes, we will make fun of shows and stuff, but riding the line where we're trying not to get too I don't want to be too mean. I don't want to, I would like to be able to, when I see anybody afterward, it's not uncomfortable."Over the past two decades, Bargatze, who has hosted "Saturday Night Live" twice and has a handful of Netflix specials in the books, has often leaned on his Christian upbringing to help shape his comedy."You don't shy away from it. I am a Christian. I do believe I'm being asked to do all these things, and you just feel guided in what you're trying to do, but you're trying to bring everybody in to have a great time," Bargatze told Fox News Digital. "And so it's not about making it specific.""That's why I don't get political, because it doesn't really matter," he continued. "It doesn't matter what religion you are. It doesn't matter what your politics are. I don't think I need to guide you in any direction. I can tell you who I am. This is why I tend to be that way, and then I steer it in a direction that welcomes everybody. Whether you're not a Christian or you're conservative or Democrat or whatever you are, that's not what this is about."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSBargatze said his background inspired his "clean" approach to telling jokes."I mean, that's a big reason. It's the main reason I'm clean is I never wanted to I could never imagine my parents being embarrassed to tell someone to come watch me and stuff. So I watch everything I write. I write with them in mind that I don't want to embarrass them.""[My Christian upbringing] always played into how I did comedy," he added. "I was going to be clean from the beginning. There were times that you could see people, I don't know, getting political or getting dirty and they would move and they could pass you career-wise at that moment. And so it was just trusting that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. It was hard to do sometimes, but just to stick to it. And now I'm seeing how it's paid off, and so it's been great."WATCH: EMMY HOST NATE BARGATZE WONT SHY AWAY FROM FAITH DURING TVS BIGGEST NIGHTBargatze who recently told CBS Sunday Morning that his comedy career was a "religious calling" discussed his beliefs and his career in April with The New York Times' "The Interview" podcast."Its a big belief: I am second to God. Second to your family, second to the audience, second to everybody. You live to serve, so its very much a calling in that aspect. But its trying to ride that balance where I dont want anybody thats not this or that I just want to make something where all of them can be in the room together. Its driven by a bigger purpose for me, but everybody has their own things," he said.The father of two also found a clever way to give back during the live broadcast.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERBargatze said he plans to donate $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of America.But there's a catch."Hollywood has to help me," he said. "Not with money, but by keeping their Thank You speeches to time.""As always, everyone gets 45 seconds to make their speech. For every second they go over, the kids will get $1,000 less.And the kids will be there.And see it.And feel it.So is thanking your second manager worth taking food from a child? I dont think so, but well see what Hollywood thinks."When it comes to television's biggest night, Bargatze who was known to be the nation's highest-grossing comedian last year with "clean" jokes said he plans to really trust his gut instinct with his hosting duties."I mean, you're talking live on stage in front of people. The hard part is the jokes because I'm not going to get to run the jokes like I would stand up. And so you got to just trust your instincts that you know what jokes are going to work or what jokes you think are going to work.""It's just being aware of everything that's going on, and it's really just hoping your preparation of doing comedy for 22 years kicks in and saves me. So we don't just bomb this thing."

Archaeologists have discovered an ancient dam in Jerusalem's City of David not far from the body of water where Jesus famously healed a blind man.Officials noted in an Aug. 30 release that the wall was recently found during excavations near the Pool of Siloam within the Jerusalem Walls National Park.The Pool of Siloam, rediscovered in 2004, existed as a basin that was fed from the Gihon Spring. The Gospel of John recounts the testimony of a blind man who was healed by Jesus at the pool.RARE BIBLICAL SEAL WITH ANCIENT FINGERPRINT FOUND IN DEBRIS FROM JERUSALEM'S TEMPLE MOUNTJohn 9:1011 reads, "'How then were your eyes opened?' they asked. He replied, 'The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and then I could see.'"The newly discovered dam dates to the 9th century B.C., nearly 2,800 years ago. It could have been built under the reign of either King Joash or King Amaziah, according to officials.The dam was found as part of a joint study between the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and the Weizmann Institute of Science. The team published its research in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on Aug. 25.Remarkably, the dam is the largest ever discovered in Israel, as well as the oldest in Jerusalem. WORLD'S OLDEST KNOWN NURSING HOME DISCOVERED IN RUINS OF ANCIENT CHRISTIAN CITY, DATES BACK 1,600 YEARSPictures from the site show archaeologists excavating the massive stone-built dam.The structure is roughly 39 feet high and 69 feet long, in addition to being 26 feet wide.Researchers also pinpointed the dam's age to a very slim 10-year margin, thanks to twigs and branches that were embedded in the dam's mortar. It was built between 805 and 795 B.C.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThe City of David noted that the dam may have been a "creative solution to a climate crisis," as a direct response to the drought and flash flood conditions present in ancient Jerusalem."The dam was designed to collect waters from the Gihon Spring as well as floodwaters flowing down the main valley of ancient Jerusalem," the excavation directors said in a statement."All the [studied] data pointed to a period of low rainfall in the Land of Israel, interspersed with short and intense storms that could cause flooding. It follows that the establishment of such large-scale water systems was a direct response to climate change and arid conditions."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleIn a statement, IAA director Eli Escusido called the dam "one of the most impressive and significant First Temple-period remains in Jerusalem."He added, "In recent years, Jerusalem has been revealed more than ever before, with all its periods, layers and cultures and many surprises still await us."As the most-referenced city in the Bible, Jerusalem is full of ancient history that is still being discovered today.Earlier this year, proof of an ancient garden was found at the holiest site in Christianity, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.A coin minted just before the destruction of the Second Temple an event predicted in the Gospels was also recently found in Jerusalem.

FIRST ON FOX: Sudans two million Christians are among the hardest hit by the countrys two-year civil war, with Fox News Digital being told some are having to eat animal feed and even grass to survive.Sudan is the fifth-worst country in the world for Christian persecution, according to Open Doors World Watch List. Open Doors is a faith-based nonprofit aiming to raise awareness of global persecution.It is the worlds largest displacement between 13 million and 15 million have been forced from their homes, and an estimated 150,000 have been killed since the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese governments Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) started fighting in April 2023. The civil wars roots lie in tensions following the 2019 ousting of President Omar al-Bashir.Christians, an estimated 4% of Sudans population, suffer from a double whammy of desperation. Like the rest of Sudans people, they face chronic food shortages and the horror of war. But Christians are also allegedly singled out for discrimination and persecution by both sides in the conflict.'NO MEANS OF ESCAPE': SUDANESE REBELS CREATE KILL ZONES AROUND BESIEGED CITYFox News Digital reached a senior Sudanese church leader working with colleagues on the ground in the country and the region. Talking from an unidentified location and withholding his identity for his safety, he told Fox News Digital, "Christians are seen as an enemy for both warring parties, and even the political parties. Sudan is considered as a land of one religion and one race."He continued, "When even NGOs want to distribute food, the category of people who will receive this relief is controlled by government. So, government in these places doesnt give it to minorities. Often Christians here have been told, Unless you leave your Christianity, no food for you.""Since Sudans civil war erupted more than two years ago, Christians have faced relentless persecution at the hands of both warring parties," Mariam Wahba, research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital. "More than 165 churches have been forced to close. In 2023, RSF fighters stormed Khartoums Anglican cathedral, assaulting civilians and converting it into a military base, while SAF airstrikes leveled the Al Ezba Baptist Church in Khartoum North. Both sides have also carried out arbitrary detentions, with SAF interrogating and beating dozens of Christians in 2024 and 2025.""The RSF has been especially violent in Wad Madani (central Sudan), Wahba continued. "In December 2024, its fighters set fire to the Evangelical Church of Wad Madani, and later that month attacked the Sudanese Church of Christ in Al Jazirah State during a prayer service, wounding 14 worshippers. One militant reportedly vowed to eliminate all Christians."POPE LEO XIV CONDEMNS BRUTAL MACHETE ATTACK THAT KILLED 49 CHRISTIANS DURING PRAYER IN CONGO"RSF militants have allegedly forced Christians to convert to Islam in exchange for aid and protection. Its important to remember that the RSF is the latest incarnation of the Janjaweed militias, infamous for their campaign of ethnic cleansing in Darfur two decades ago. That legacy of terror is now being carried out again.""Together, these abuses have left Christians among the wars most vulnerable victims," Wahba concluded.The Sudanese church leader Fox News Digital talked to this week believes the situation is especially bad for Christians in El Fasher, a city under siege by the RSF. "For a long time now theyre eating animal feed and grass. No wheat, no rice, nothing can get in. And unfortunately now, no medicine if you have just the flu it can kill you. We dont know what to do. We are just always asking God [to] have mercy on us."A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "Since the April 2023 outbreak of conflict in Sudan, we have witnessed significant backsliding in Sudans overall respect for fundamental freedoms, including religious freedom. This backsliding especially impacts Sudans marginalized ethnic and religious populations, including Christians."The spokesperson continued, "Sudan was a Country of Particular Concern under the former Bashir regime, and the United States is focused on preventing the return of Bashir-era loyalists and other violent extremists who might reimpose particularly severe violations of religious freedom.""In order to safeguard U.S. interests, to include the protection of religious freedom in Sudan,U.S. efforts seek to limit negative Islamist influence in Sudans government and curtail Irans regional activities that have contributed to regional destabilization, conflict and civilian suffering."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPToday in Sudan, there is desperation. The Sudanese church leader added, "For Christians, its forbidden even to pray in your home as a group in many places now. Logically there is no hope because it [Sudan] will become more radical. But I believe in God who can turn the curse to blessing. And we pray that the church continues to be like a light and salt in our country."

Mobsters have undeniably left an infamous mark on American culture. Depicted in numerous films and television shows, interest in the violent and secretive Mafia families has not wavered. Now, a new streaming series welcomes viewers into the world of organized crime once more."Stories of the American Mafia," a five-part episodic series streaming exclusively on Fox Nation, takes a closer look at some of the most defining moments in mob history.

What if your old bottle of cooking oil could help save the planet and your smartphone? That's the big idea behind a groundbreaking discovery by researchers in Finland. Scientists from the University of Helsinki and the University of Jyvskyl have found that you can recover silver from electronic waste using common kitchen ingredients like vegetable oil and hydrogen peroxide. This sustainable, scalable method published in the Chemical Engineering Journal could change how we mine precious metals from our growing piles of electronic junk.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM/NEWSLETTEROLD SMARTPHONES ARE BEING TURNED INTO TINY DATA CENTERSHere's how it works. Fatty acids found in oils like sunflower or olive oil are mixed with hydrogen peroxide. When heated slightly, this combo safely dissolves silver from old circuit boards, wires or keyboard connectors. Then, using ethyl acetate, a far less toxic alternative to industrial solvents, researchers pull out the silver in a solid form. Unlike traditional methods that rely on harsh acids or cyanide-based solutions, this technique avoids toxic runoff and air pollution. Think of it as salad dressing meets science lab, without the environmental mess.Silver powers the devices you use every day, such as phones, solar panels, electric vehicles and even medical tech. But less than 20% of it gets recycled. As demand rises and natural resources shrink, finding clean ways to reclaim silver isn't just smart, it's necessary. Silver prices have surged sixfold in the last 25 years. At the same time, supply has lagged. That makes e-waste a goldmine, literally, for anyone who can unlock its hidden metals without poisoning the environment.NEW TECH RECOVERS 92% OF EV BATTERY METALSTo figure out exactly how this all works, researchers used advanced computer models to study how fatty acids interact with silver ions. The process not only stabilizes the silver but also allows for easy recovery using light and simple solvents. Better still, the ingredients can be reused and there's no chemical waste or massive cost. And it's highly selective. The method targets silver while leaving other metals behind, a major step forward in urban mining. In testing, even silver-coated keyboard connectors were cleanly processed into pure elemental silver powder using this system.This research brings us closer to safe, at-home or small-scale recycling kits that could recover silver from old gadgets. Recyclers and manufacturers could adopt this method to reduce chemical waste and operating costs, while protecting workers and the environment. This method supports a future where nothing goes to waste. It keeps valuable materials in use, cutting down the need for mining and pollution. Silver is vital for making many of the tech items we use every day. Reusing it responsibly means cleaner energy at a lower cost and less reliance on mined resources.Take my quiz: How safe is your online security?Think your devices and data are truly protected?

"Phillies Karen" is still the talk of the sports world.In case you missed it, a home run ball by Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Harrison Bader made national headlines due to one fan berating a father and son to hand over the ball after it reached the stands.Drew Feltwell, his son Lincoln, and daughter Avery appeared on Fox News "America Reports" to talk about the viral moment, where Drew Feltwell thought he was making a core memory for his son after finding Baders homer on the ground among multiple spectators. But a female Phillies fan was captured marching up to the Feltwells, demanding they give her the ball.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe moment quickly went viral, and at the end of the day, the Feltwells won by getting a meet-and-greet with Bader.Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III gave his reaction to what has since been dubbed the "Phillies Karen.""She dropped the ball. You dropped it, he picked it up and gave it to the kid. At that point, it's no longer your ball. Get better hands, don't have butterfingers and catch the ball," Griffin said to Fox News Digital in a recent interview.DODGERS RELIEF PITCHER BLAKE TREINEN PAYS TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE KIRK ON MOUND WITH PERSONALIZED HATFans battling for any type of memorabilia is hardly uncommon, but a specific memory has stuck out to Griffin well over a decade later. Griffin was in New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony, when he signed an autograph for someone who, he thought, was paralyzed from the waist down."So I signed the autograph, go the ceremony, win the Heisman, come back, and the guys walking the streets of New York, looks at me, winks and laughs, and then continues to like go try to get autographs from some other people that were there," Griffin said."It was pretty wild, but there's no lengths that people are not willing to go to get an autograph."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

"Overreaction Monday" has existed for decades, but sometimes those hot takes following Week 1 of the NFL season come to fruition throughout the season.Maybe the Green Bay Packers are the best team in the NFL. Perhaps Daniel Jones has a resurgence. Is Keon Coleman the best receiver in the league?Of course, football fans must wait 18 weeks to see what's legitimate or not, but fantasy football expert Matthew Berry is sounding the alarm on one team and buying into the hype of another.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAfter getting rocked by the Indianapolis Colts 33-8 on Sunday, Berry said he is "officially nervous" about the Miami Dolphins."That was ugly, and their schedule after this week gets tougher," Berry said to Fox News Digital. "They were such a disaster against the Colts that I need to see something from them against the [New England] Patriots, because if they lose to the Patriots, or even if they win, but the offense doesn't look good, the way it did against the Colts - Tua [Tagovailoa] looked out of rhythm, Tyreek [Hill] and [Jaylen] Waddle didn't do anything. It was really DeVon Achane who was the only one who sort of looked like what we expected. I think they could tear it all down sooner rather than later."NFL HOLDS MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR CHARLIE KIRK AT PACKERS-COMMANDERS GAME AFTER ASSASSINATIONDespite a tough loss on Sunday to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Berry is betting on the Atlanta Falcons to cover their +4.5 spread against the Minnesota Vikings.In fact, Berry will use that as one of his legs for DraftKings' "Ghost Leg" promotion, where the app negates the losing leg of a three-or-more-leg parlay and pays out based on the winners, resulting in more than 160,000 additional winning parlays on the app."Theyre turning losers into winners. A lot of people have the exact same thing happen where they hit all your legs of your parlay, except one, and your parlay loses. " Berry said. "That happens to me just like it happens to sports bettors across the world. You do a parlay, you hit, you hit, you hit, and theres one bad beat. I love it, I hope its super successful, and I hope DraftKings keeps it all year.""I get the games at home, and the Vikings have a good defense, and the Falcons lost in Week 1, but I thought the Falcons looked pretty good. I thought their defense played well, Baker [Mayfield]'s a gutty guy and kind of willed [the Tampa Bay Buccaneers] to a victory, but the truth is, if the Falcons' kicker doesn't miss that field goal at the end, it's potentially a different outcome. When I do my DraftKings three-play parlay, Im going to be taking the Falcons +4.5 as one of the legs."One team that Berry is now all-in on is the Los Angeles Chargers, who beat the Kansas City Chiefs convincingly last week in Brazil, 27-21."I thought [Justin] Herbert looked awesome, and more importantly, I thought he looked healthy. We heard hints that Herbert was going to use his legs more, that they were going to try to get him on the move more. They did that. So I'm in on the Chargers offense this year. Omarion Hampton is my fantasy ride-or-die, Keenan Allen is legit, Herbert is legit, [Ladd] McConkey is a stud. Im in on the Chargers offense," Berry said.But Berry is holding his horses on the same Chiefs that the Chargers beat."The jury is still out. They didnt look good for the second game in a row. But in fairness to the Chiefs, the coaching staff said Xavier Worthy was the centerpiece of their plan, and then he gets hurt three plays in. They dont have a lot out there. So what does this offense look like when Xavier Worthy comes back and Rashee Rice comes off suspension?"But this weekend, theyre at home against the Eagles they dont need to win, but if they get their ass kicked by the Eagles again, then you raise your eyebrows. Im not ready to write the Chiefs off, but this Sunday will be very telling."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
