The most outspoken late-night hosts have gone silent amid the recent revelations of Joe Biden's cognitive decline after years-long cozy relationships with the former president.The reporting of "Original Sin" authors Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios has sparked a political firestorm and has critics taking aim at Biden's defenders in the Democratic Party as well as his allies in the media over the cover-up.Despite all the headlines the book has generated, liberal comedians Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Meyers have not mentioned any of the revelations, according to Grabien transcripts. Colbert and Kimmel were such staunch supporters of Biden that they both emceed star-studded campaign fundraisers in 2024 before Biden was forced out of the presidential race following his disastrous debate performance.CREDIBILITY CRISIS: WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORT ON BIDEN SLIPPING WAS SMEARED BY MEDIACREDIBILITY CRISIS: MEDIA EMBRACED BIDEN WHITE HOUSE CHEAP FAKES NARRATIVE LEADING.

They say he froze and had to be escorted offstage on Saturday night. I was standing right next to him when it happened. He didn't freeze.

Meyers gently broached the subject of Biden's age before quickly moving on to other topics.Special Counsel Robert Hur, who conducted the investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified documents, wrote in his report that he declined to bring charges against the former president in part because a jury would likely not find him guilty due to a perception that he was a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory."Mentioned in his report was how Biden couldn't remember key dates, like when his son Beau died or when he was vice president. Earlier this month, the audio recordings of Hur's interview with Biden were released, leaving many critics to say Hur actually downplayed Biden's struggles in their Oct. 2023 sit-down.When Hur first released his findings, the late-night hosts either dismissed or ignored the damning report.CREDIBILITY CRISIS: PRESS DISMISSED HUR REPORT ON BIDEN'S MEMORY ISSUES LONG BEFORE CONCERNS BECAME UNDENIABLEColbert mocked the "bombshell" revelation that Hur found that Biden was "old.""Kinda going off road in a report about classified documents," Colbert reacted.

I said double-check, and today, it turns out he's older.""Here's the thing, Hur's extracurricular description of the president reinforces a concern many voters already have about his advanced age. But we are where we are. Unless something drastic happens it's Biden versus Trump.

Why?" Meyers reacted incredulously during an April 2024 monologue. "That's way more shocking than saying he has a poor memory. It doesn't surprise me at all that an 81-year-old has trouble remembering some names or dates."Both Colbert and Meyers similarly shrugged off The Wall Street Journal report of Biden showing "signs of slipping" in June 2024, weeks before Biden's ill-fated debate. Colbert ridiculed the Journal and its findings, saying the paper thought "'Old man is old' is breaking news.""The Wall Street Journal published an article yesterday that claims Biden appears to be slipping in private meetings.'

The Trump administration is prepared for what could be a "significant fire season," despite thousands of Forest Service employees departing under Trump's deferred resignation offer, according to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins."It did not compromise and will not compromise at all, 1%, what needs to be done to make sure that we are ready," Rollins told Fox News Digital Friday.More than 4,000 U.S. Forest Service employees voluntarily resigned under buyouts offered by the Trump administration, according to a POLITICO report.Wildland firefighters were largely exempt from the buyouts and a federal hiring freeze, but blue state leaders say President Donald Trump's slash-and-burn approach cuts key support staff.SEN. SCHIFF URGES TRUMP ADMIN TO EXCLUDE FIREFIGHTERS FROM FEDERAL HIRING FREEZE"The reality is that Trump has decimated the U.S. Forest Service," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in a May press conference. "Nearly every single Forest Service employee supports fire operations in some capacity."Many of the workers who departed held Red Cards, meaning they have special training to either fight fires or "provide essential frontline support to the firefighting crews," Sen. Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon, said.But Rollins said the Biden administration wasted taxpayer funds on unsustainable and irresponsible hiring of people who "really had no job description.""That was in the not hundreds in the thousands of hirings that went on just in the Forest Service in the last administration," she said, adding that the service is becoming "more lean" but no less effective.LA MAYOR KAREN BASS ACCUSED OF DELETING TEXTS IN WAKE OF WILDFIRE DISASTERRollins and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum signed a memo on May 20 signaling the Trump administration's wildfire response strategy. It calls for the elimination of barriers and "unnecessary procedures" to ensure a rapid response when wildfires threaten life and property.The memo also directs the Forest Service to examine the impact of "voluntary departures" on the firefighting workforce and propose a plan to "remedy critical vacancies."Non-fire staff should also be deployed to support frontline firefighters as wildfire activity increases, allowing for a "more robust and more intentional and more effective force as we move into this season," Rollins said."But we are not going to waste taxpayer dollars the way that we've seen happen in the past," she said.Wildfires have already scorched more than one million acres across the country so far this year, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The center's outlook shows higher temperatures and drier conditions than typical across much of the West this summer."Our prayer is that it won't actually happen, that it will be lighter than usual, but indicators are showing that it actually may be a heavy fire season," Rollins said.She added she's confident Americans will see "an unprecedented level of coordination" among federal, state and local governments as the summer progresses."There is zero compromising [on] having the most prepared, most effective [firefighters]," Rollins said. "And we'll do everything possible to ensure that they have every tool they need to be successful this season."

Former President Bill Clinton insisted in an interview airing Sunday that former President Joe Biden was "in good shape" and he "never" saw him in cognitive decline in office.While promoting his new book "The First Gentleman," Clinton was asked by "CBS Sunday Morning" anchor Tracy Smith to comment on allegations made in the book "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again" by Axios Alex Thompson and CNNs Jake Tapper.Throughout "Original Sin," Thompson and Tapper wrote there were ongoing efforts by the Biden administration to cover up signs of mental and physical decline by shielding him from the public and misleading political allies.DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST JAMES CARVILLE SAYS OBAMA, BILL CLINTON SHOULD LEAD DISCUSSION ON BIDEN REPLACEMENT"Did you ever have a moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit to run for president?" Smith asked."No. I thought he was a good president," Clinton said. "The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86? And wed had several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking he cant do this anymore. He was always on top of his brief.""You never saw any cognitive decline?" Smith asked."I didnt know anything about any of this. And I havent read the book. I saw President Biden not very long ago, and I thought he was in good shape. But the book didnt register with me because I never saw him that way," Clinton answered.When pressed about why he didnt read the book, Clinton remarked that Biden wasnt the president anymore and that he already thought he did a "good job." Clinton also claimed the book was being used "as a way to blame him for the fact that [Donald] Trump was reelected."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThough Clinton spoke highly of Bidens job as president during the interview, he and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were among some of the earliest Democratic figures to endorse then-Vice President Kamala Harris for president, just hours after Biden dropped out of the race.Since "Original Sin" was published last month, the Democratic Party and the mainstream media have been getting renewed criticism for allegedly downplaying or covering up Bidens shortcomings until his first debate with President Trump last year.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPClinton, 78, is four years Biden's junior. He took office in 1993 as one of the nation's youngest-ever presidents at age 46, while Biden was 78 when his presidency began in 2021.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova reacted to two Oregon high school athletes who refused to stand with a transgender athlete following the girls' high jump state championships on Saturday.Reese Eckard, of Sherwood High School, and Alexa Anderson, of Tigard High School, stepped down from the podium and refused to share the spot with the transgender athlete who finished in fifth place.

Longtime CBS journalist Lesley Stahl admitted she was "angry" with Paramount Global chairwoman Shari Redstone over how things are being handled over President Donald Trumps lawsuit against the network on Friday.The "60 Minutes" reporter discussed the ongoing lawsuit and its effects on her program on The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast. She reflected on top producer Bill Owens stepping down in what she called a "painful" experience after he claimed that he was being restrained by the network on what stories to produce.After CBS News president Wendy McMahons abrupt resignation, she called the situation at the network "hard" and partially blamed Redstone for putting pressure on them in what appears to be an appeasement to the Trump administration. "To have a news organization come under corporate pressureto have a news organization told by a corporation, do this, do that with your story, change this, change that, dont run that piece.' I mean, it steps on the First Amendment, it steps on the freedom of the press," Stahl said. "It steps on what we stand for. It makes me question whether any corporation should own a news operation. It is very disconcerting."'60 MINUTES' PRODUCERS RAIL AGAINST TRUMP'S 'BULLS---' LAWSUIT, DREAD PROSPECTS OF PARAMOUNT MAKING SETTLEMENTStill, she declined to use the word "turmoil" to describe the situation, although she revealed there was consideration for journalists to leave "en masse" after Owens resignation. Stahl added that theres a sense of "fragility" in the press now thanks to things like Trumps "frivolous lawsuit" and a lack of trust in the media."The pain in my heart is that the public does not appreciate the importance of a free and strong and tough press in our democracy," Stahl said. "Even the Founding Fathers recognized that we need to have a strong fourth estate to hold our elected officials accountable, and to continue to cleanse the system. The public doesnt seem to want what we do to be part of our public life."She predicted Paramount Global, CBS parent company, will ultimately settle with Trump to complete a merger with Skydance Media. If that were to occur, she hoped that the new owners would "hold the freedom of the press up as a beacon."The interview was recorded before news broke on Friday about Trump rejecting a $15 million settlement for his $20 billion lawsuit. Fox News Digital confirmed that the presidents team is demanding at least $25 million and an apology from CBS News.Last October, Trump sued CBS News and Paramount for $10 billion over allegations of election interference involving the "60 Minutes" interview of then-Vice President Kamala Harris that aired weeks before the presidential election (the amount has since jumped to $20 billion).The lawsuit alleges CBS News deceitfully edited an exchange Harris had with "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker, who asked her why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't "listening" to the Biden administration. Harris was widely mocked for the "word salad" answer that aired in a preview clip of the interview on "Face the Nation."'60 MINUTES' REPORTER LESLEY STAHL ADMITS WORRY ABOUT FUTURE OF LEGACY MEDIA: 'I'M VERY DARK ABOUT IT'However, when the same question aired during a primetime special on the network, Harris had a different, more concise response. Critics at the time accused CBS News of deceitfully editing Harris' "word salad" answer to shield the Democratic nominee from further backlash leading up to Election Day.Stahl denied there was any effort to make Harris look better and that the network simply aired two different halves of the answer. She claimed the lawsuit is being made only to intimidate them."What is really behind it, in a nutshell, is [an effort] to chill us. There arent any damages. I mean, he accused us of editing Kamala Harris in a way to help her win the election. But he won the election," Stahl said.Fox News Digital reached out to CBS and Paramount Global for a comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

When it comes to dining out, there are some unwritten rules of etiquette between server and customer that are important to know.Salar Sheik, a Los Angeles-based restaurant consultant and founder of Savory Hospitality, told Fox News Digital that the rudest thing a customer can do is "one-timing" a server.That's when a customer asks for something like a glass of water, for example but when the server returns, the customer then asks for something else, Sheik said.RESTAURANT TIPPING ETIQUETTE: SHOULD YOU TIP FOR FAST FOOD OR TAKEOUT?"You're just running them in circles," Sheik pointed out. "Try to bulk up on your order. Let them know right at the same time."What if you're in a hurry and need to place your order quickly? There's a polite way to ask your server to put your food order in right away, Sheik said."I think a little explaining goes a long way for your waiter," Sheik told Fox News Digital. "It doesn't have to be in detail, but you can just tell them, 'I'm in a bit of a hurry.'"Sometimes servers seem to disappear after your meal is done, leaving customers antsy about getting the bill.There is a proper way to get your server's attention, Sheik said.VARIETY OF FOOD FACTORS DRIVING DINERS TO CLOSE TODAY IN 'SAD' TREND: EXPERTS"It's trying to make eye contact and kind of do a wave," he said.Snapping your fingers at your server might work in the movies but in real life, that comes off as rude, Sheik said."I think a wave is pretty lighthearted, you know?"A common concern among customers is when a waiter or waitress doesn't write down their order.If the meal comes to the table and isn't correct, it's natural for the customer to blame the server."I think a patron has to understand, even though that was a scenario, you can't assume it was just their fault," Sheik said.RESTAURANT INSIDERS SHARE THE SECRETS OF SNAGGING HARD-TO-GET RESERVATIONSIn a standard restaurant kitchen, "there's a lot of room for error," he noted."Obviously, the only point of contact you have between your food and who made it is the waiter," Sheik said, meaning the server is the one who takes the brunt of the criticism."You can kind of approach it softer," he said. "Some people tend to be aggressive and take personal offense."Another area of frustration from a server's perspective can involve the length of time customers remain at a table after the meal has concluded and the bill has been paid.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERHow long is too long? It depends on if it's a casual or fine-dining experience, Sheik told Fox News Digital."Fine dining, you're looking at two to two-and-a-half hours of appropriate dining time," Sheik said. "Casual, you are probably looking at an hour to an hour and 45 minutes. Two hours is pretty much the limit."Another factor to consider is the speed of service and how quickly the food arrived when you were seated.It's courteous to place your first order shortly after being seated, Sheik said.For more Lifestyle articles, visitfoxnews.com/lifestyle"But a lot of times we get tables that talk for an hour and then order," he said. "I think that's just inappropriate."It's a server's job to set the pace of a customer's dining experience, whether that's refilling drinks or checking with the kitchen staff on the status of a table's order, Sheik said."You should have your first appetizer order within 10 to 15 minutes max," he said."And your entres in a perfect world, you should [receive] them within 20 to 25 minutes max."
