Sinclair Broadcasting Group and Nexstar Media Group, Inc. expect Jimmy Kimmel to apologize on Tuesday night after infuriating conservatives with remarks about Turning Point USA (TPUSA) Charlie Kirks alleged assassin.ABCs "Jimmy Kimmy Live!" was benched by Disney last week amid widespread backlash, but the Mouse House announced an about-face on Monday and Kimmel is expected to address the saga when he returns to air on Tuesday. Sinclair and Nexstar plan to preempt the show, and have issued statements that theyre not ready for Kimmel to return to air.Sinclair, Nexstar and Disney have been working behind the scenes with TPUSA to resolve the situation, a source familiar with the talks told Fox News Digital.Sinclair and Nexstar, who own and operate ABC affiliates across the country, expect Kimmel to apologize for his remarks, according to the source. TPUSA leaders have also been applying "soft pressure" to Disney, pointing out that it could be a remarkable opportunity for Kimmel.DISNEY ANNOUNCES JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! RETURNING TUESDAY AFTER SUSPENSION"Everyone would accept a real apology," the source close to talks told Fox News Digital.The source also noted that Sinclair and Nexstar honchos are well aware that Charlie Kirks widow, Erika, had publicly forgiven the man that allegedly took her husbands life. The feeling is that if Erika Kirk can move forward, the least Kimmel can do is offer a sincere apology.ABC has not released a transcript of Kimmels planned monologue to Sinclair and Nexstar, so "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will be preempted in their markets. However, the source familiar with negotiations believes an "apology/non apology" is coming."Will it subside the rage? Sinclair and Nexstar will be watching closely," the source said, adding that Disney executives "want peace."Sinclair and Nexstar both have several ABC affiliates in markets that predominantly voted for President Donald Trump in 2024."These are fans of Charlie Kirk," the source said. "The local stations will deserve credit if Kimmel truly apologizes."Nexstar told Fox News Digital that its press releases had already laid out why it was preempting Kimmel's program."I think our press releases last week and earlier today clearly laid out the rationale for preempting the show," the company said. "Youll notice we have set no preconditions for the resumption of the show."The company previously said, "We made a decision last week to preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmels ill-timed and insensitive comments at a critical time in our national discourse. We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve."Sinclair and Disney didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.FCC CHAIR LEVELS THREAT AGAINST ABC, DISNEY AFTER KIMMEL SUGGESTED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN WAS MAGAThe saga began last Monday when Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspected Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson."We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.The false suggestion that Robinson was a MAGA supporter sparked outrage and veiled threat from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Disney decided to suspend the show after Nexstar and Sinclair pulled airings of Kimmel from their stations, and Kimmel reportedly had told executives last week he would not apologize for his comments.Kirk was assassinated during a college event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. The 31-year-old father of two was answering a question about transgender mass shooters when Robinson allegedly shot him in the neck, killing him. Robinson was romantically linked to a transgender partner, and text messages released by the FBI purport to show him confessing to the murder.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Former Vice President Kamala Harris told ABCs "The View" on Tuesday that she lost the 2024 presidential election because she didnt have enough time to campaign.In an interview on the ABC talk show, Harris promoted her new book, "107 Days," which recounts her truncated presidential campaign. She told the co-hosts what she believed to be the biggest reason for her loss to President Donald Trump."There are many factors I think that played into the outcome of that election, but I think probably one of the biggest in my mind is, we just didnt have enough time," she said.KAMALA HARRIS AIDE URGED 'THE VIEW' HOSTS TO ASK AGAIN AFTER VP FLUBBED QUESTION ON DIFFERENCES WITH BIDENCo-host Ana Navarro prompted Harris answer, saying she believed the former vice president had the election locked up until Trump secured the victory."I felt so good going into Election Day, and then I read in the book that you did too. I went into Election Day thinking you were going to win.""So did you," the co-host added. Harris replied, "Yeah. I did."KAMALA HARRIS BREAKS SILENCE ON BIDEN DROPOUT, ADMITS SHE HAS REGRETS ABOUT HER HANDLING OF SITUATION"So I mean, it was a very tight race but, ultimately, if you have to pin it down to one thing, what was the primary reason, do you think, that you lost?" Navarro continued.Harris chalked it up to the shortness of her campaign because she had to step in for former President Joe Biden less than four months before Election Day. Biden abandoned his re-election campaign in July 2024 following his dismal debate performance against Trump in June.Harris told the co-hosts it was an unprecedented situation in which to run a presidential campaign."And, you know, I mean, one of the reasons I wrote the book is this is unprecedented. Think about this, that there is a race for President of the United States. The current sitting president is running for re-election. Three-and-a-half months from the election, he decides not to run."The sitting vice president then takes the mantle, running against a former President of the United States who had been running for ten years with 107 days until the election."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREShe added the 2024 election was "the closest presidential race in the 21st century, in terms of the outcome."However, the 2000 election between George W. Bush and Al Gore was closer than Trump and Harris race, both in the Electoral College and popular vote.Trump won the Electoral College by 86 votes in 2024 and held a 1.6% margin over Harris in the popular vote. By comparison, Bush beat Gore by five electoral votes while winning the popular vote by just 0.5%.

Yesterday I wrote and immediately deleted 2 responses to him about Kimmel because they could be misinterpreted as a threat to anything besides his career. I immediately replaced them with ones specifying what I actually meant," Olbermann wrote."I oppose and condemn political violence, and the threat of it. All times are the wrong time to leave even an inadvertent impression of it but this time is especially wrong. I should've acknowledged the deletion and apologized yesterday. I'm sorry I delayed."Olbermann has faced tremendous backlash in recent days for his controversial posts about Kirk and Jimmy Kimmel. He slighted the late conservative influencer last week after it was announced that several TV affiliates, including those owned by Sinclair, would preempt Kimmels show.CHIEFS CEO'S WIFE SLAMS CRITICS CELEBRATING CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION"Burn in hell, Sinclair," Olbermann wrote on X. "Alongside Charlie Kirk."He maintained that nothing that Kimmel said in his comments about Kirk was untrue.Last week, Kimmel accused conservatives of reaching "new lows" in trying to pin a left-wing ideology on 22-year-old suspect Tyler Robinson, even though prosecutors reaffirmed those ties in his indictment."We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel said.Kimmels comments came one day after both FBI officials and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said that Robinsonheld a "leftist ideology"and was increasingly radicalized in recent years. It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a transgender partner who was biologically male and transitioning to female.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

After more than three decades, investigators identified a woman found stabbed to death in the Arizona desert in 1989, and located her two infant daughters who vanished at the time of her death.Marina Ramos, of Bakersfield, California, was found naked with multiple stab wounds on Dec. 12, 1989 in Mohave County, Arizona, about 50 miles south of Las Vegas.While detectives determined she was killed at the scene, they were unable to identify her because Ramos' DNA did not yield any matches.In February 2022, the Mohave County Sheriffs Office Special Investigations Unit resubmitted fingerprints from the case file to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, and the FBI matched the prints to "Maria Ortiz," an alias used by Ramos, who had been arrested for shoplifting in Bakersfield in 1989.PARENTS OF 7-MONTH-OLD BOY MISSING FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS ARE CHARGED WITH MURDERFamily members later confirmed Ramos disappeared that same year and was last seen with her daughters Elizabeth, then 14 months old, and Jasmin, then 2 months old.For more than two years, the sheriff's office put out press releases, posted on social media, reviewed broadcast television reports, and tested Ramos' family members' DNA to find out what happened to the two girls.NOTORIOUS SCORECARD KILLER LINKED TO DECADES-OLD MURDER NEARLY 45 YEARS LATERIn August, investigators found the two daughters through a DNA match and learned they were abandoned in a park restroom in Oxnard, California, in December 1989 just two days after their mothers body was found in Arizona.According to police reports, a passerby heard children crying in the womens restroom and found the girls lying on the wet floor without any adults nearby.The girls were placed in foster care and "stayed there for a significant amount of time" before being adopted by a family in Ventura County, where they were raised together, according to authorities.CALIFORNIA PARENTS ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH MURDER OF MISSING 7-MONTH-OLD SON AFTER MOTHER'S STORY FALLS APART"While we are excited to announce that one part of this 36-year-old mystery has been solved, the search for the suspects involved in the homicide of Marina Ramos continues," sheriff's office officials wrote in a statement.A witness in the area told officers she saw a Hispanic woman and two Hispanic men with the two girls at the park.The woman was carrying the younger child in a yellow blanket, and one of the men was carrying the older child, according to the witness. They were seen driving a black mini pickup.Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact the sheriff's office.

An oral weight loss pill has performed well in clinical trials, positioning it as a potential alternative to injectable GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy.The Eli Lilly drug, called orforglipron, demonstrated "meaningful weight loss" and cardiometabolic improvements, according to a press release.The phase 3 ATTAIN-1 trial, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, evaluated the safety and efficacy of the drug in adults who have a weight-related medical problem and do not have diabetes.WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS COULD ADD YEARS TO AMERICANS' LIVES, RESEARCHERS PROJECTThe participants underwent 72 weeks of treatment with three different doses (6 mg, 12 mg and 36 mg).After the trial period, results showed that orforglipron met the "primary endpoint of superior body weight reduction" compared to a placebo.Those who took the highest dose lost an average of 27.3 pounds. Nearly 60% of these participants lost 10% of their body weight, while 39.6% lost at least 15%.Of the 1,127 participants who had pre-diabetes at the start of the study, up to 91% achieved nearly normal blood sugar levels compared to the 42% taking a placebo, the researchers found.Orforglipron showed "clinically meaningful improvements" in cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity, like non-HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and triglycerides.POPULAR WEIGHT-LOSS MEDICATION COULD RELIEVE PAINFUL ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS, DOCTORS REPORTThe highest dose also reduced a marker for inflammation, called high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, by 47.7%.The study found the drugs safety profile to be consistent with the existing GLP-1 medications. The most common side effects were gastrointestinal, including nausea, constipation, diarrhea and vomiting, at mild to moderate severity.Sean Wharton, M.D., director at Wharton Medical Clinic and the lead study author in Canada, wrote in a statement that obesity is a "complex, global health challenge" requiring treatment options that are "effective and easy to integrate into everyday life."'NEXT OZEMPIC' AIMS TO DELIVER 30% WEIGHT LOSS WITH FEWER SIDE EFFECTS"In this phase 3 study, orforglipron demonstrated strong efficacy results and safety consistent with the GLP-1 class, reinforcing its potential as a first-line treatment in primary care," he said in the press release."Orforglipron could help reduce known markers of cardiovascular risk associated with obesity and support meaningful improvements in public health."Lilly announced it is moving forward with plans to get approval for orforglipron as an obesity drug. The company expects it could get the green light as early as 2026. In the same year, it also plans to apply for approval to use the drug for type 2 diabetes treatment.Reuters reported that this pill could be "fast-tracked" under a one- to two-month review process launched by the Food and Drug Administration, according to Wall Street analysts."Analysts speculate that the drug, orforglipron, is a viable candidate given the growing cost burden of expensive injectable weight-loss drugs and the fact that Lilly is expanding its U.S. manufacturing issues the Trump administration has prioritized," Reuters wrote.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERIn an interview with Fox News Digital, Sue Decotiis, M.D., medical weight loss doctor in New York City, called this drug a "positive addition to the armamentarium" thats cheaper to produce and less expensive for the consumer.Decotiis noted, however, that the weight loss results are "not as impressive" as the results from injectables like Ozempic and Mounjaro."However, compliance with orforglipron may be better, as it is an oral medication and not an injectable," she said.One concern with this new drug, according to Decotiis, is that it is not a peptide, which has a high safety factor and is "easy for the body to metabolize and adjust to."For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"There could be unknown long-term consequences that we have yet to know about," she added. "I believe there will be more oral weight loss drugs in the pipeline and hope they will be in the peptide category."Fox News Digital reached out to Eli Lilly for comment.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called for the firing and investigation of those responsible for a stalled escalator that carried President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump at Tuesdays United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).The escalator malfunction occurred before Trump addressed the General Assembly in New York.He and the first lady were forced to walk up the stalled escalator.TRUMP DRAWS LAUGHS FROM WORLD LEADERS MOMENTS INTO UN SPEECH"If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately," Leavitt posted on X.Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House, the U.N. and the U.S. Secret Service.The escalator malfunction wasnt the only breakdown. Trump was forced to improvise his speech after a teleprompter froze."I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless and that way you speak more from the heart I can only say that whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble," he said, drawing laughs.TRUMP SLAMS UN FOR CREATING NEW PROBLEMS, QUESTIONS ITS ROLE IN FIERY UNGA SPEECHThe teleprompter resumed a few minutes into his address."I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of these countries and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help in finalizing the deal," Trump said. "All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle."If the first lady wasnt in great shape, she wouldve fallen. But shes in great shape. Were both in good shape. We both stood," he added, drawing more laughter. "These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter."
