    Trump's tariff strategy could pay for his tax bill, but only if they stick, experts warn
    The White House and congressional Republicans have said that President Donald Trumps sweeping tariffs would help pay for his mammoth tax bill, but tax experts say it depends on whether the president stays consistent.Senate Republicans are in the midst of hashing out their plan to tweak and reshape the presidents "big, beautiful bill," which includes Trumps desire to extend and make permanent his first-term tax policies.SENATE REPUBLICANS EYE CHANGES TO TRUMP'S MEGABILL AFTER HOUSE WINHowever, the tax portion of the bill alone is expected to cost roughly $4 trillion. And when factoring in spending cuts and other revenue and economic drivers, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found in a report earlier this week that, in all, the colossal legislative package would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.The CBO, which has come under recent scrutiny from congressional Republicans unhappy with the scoring of the presidents "big, beautiful bill," also found that Trumps tariffs would reduce the deficit by $2.8 trillion over the same period.Joe Rosenberg, a senior fellow at the left-leaning Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, told Fox News Digital that the reconciliation packages potential impact on the debt is more concerning now than in 2017, due to higher debt levels and rising interest rates.'GONE TOO FAR': GOP LAWMAKERS RALLY AROUND TRUMP AFTER MUSK RAISES EPSTEIN ALLEGATIONSWhen Republicans were putting together the president's original tax package, the national debt was roughly $20 trillion. Eight years later, that number has ballooned to over $36 trillion and counting.Rosenberg contended that if the CBOs report were taken as is, then Trumps tariffs would make the bill deficit neutral and then some. But the report assumed that the eye-popping sums that Trumps tariffs could generate were based on whether they were permanent."I think what we've seen is that the tariff policy, again, seems to change day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute," he said. "And the administration is a little bit inconsistent about whether they view tariffs as purely a revenue source versus essentially a negotiating tool."The report also found that in exchange for trillions in deficit reduction, household wealth would drop, and the economy would shrink each year over the next decade.Tad Dehaven, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute, argued that this factoralong with Trumps tariffs being tied up in court over constitutional challenges and their shifting applicationmakes any projected benefits "extraordinarily unlikely.""Let's pretend that these tariffs are going to remain in place for 10 years at some level delineated today. That's a major tax increase, so whatever alleged benefit you're receiving from the tax cut in the reconciliation package, it's being offset by a tax increase," he said. "And a rather economically inefficient one."TRUMP'S TARIFFS AND TAX CUTS ARE CRUSHING MAIN STREET AND MAKING MAR-A-LAGO ELITES RICHMike Palicz, director of tax policy at the conservative Americans for Tax Reform, scoffed at the CBOs recent scoring, and lamented the agency as "a bunch of bean counters" that often miss the mark on key pieces of legislation, like the presidents original Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.He argued that none of the outside noise should matter, telling Fox News Digital that "you cannot go out and explain to a normal person or business that their taxes aren't increasing next year if the Trump tax cuts are allowed to expire.""That's what the whole point of this exercise is, preventing the expiration of tax cuts, preventing the largest tax increase in American history," he said. "And no conservative, no Republican, should think that you address the deficit by raising taxes."

    Ex-NFL star Greg Hardy arrested after alleged physical altercation with girlfriend over cheating accusations
    New details in the arrest of formerCarolina Panthers star Greg Hardy surfaced in the days after he was charged with assault that revealed an alleged altercation between the former NFL player and his girlfriend over cheating accusations.Fox News Digital obtained an arrest report from the Richardson Police Department that detailed the events of the alleged assault, which seemingly began when Hardy and his girlfriend were on their way home from the park on Wednesday.According to the woman, she spoke to Hardy once their children were in bed and began to question him "about a woman she believed he was cheating on her with." The alleged victim in the case, who is not being identified, toldlaw enforcement that she had previously seen messages between Hardy and this person and "wanted to see if he would lie."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe argument escalated when the woman claimed that Hardy pushed her "with both of his hands on her chest" after she would not move out of his way. According to the report, Hardy then allegedly got on top of the woman, who had fallen on the bed, and "held her down with one of his hands around her neck."The woman said she did not lose consciousness and that her breathing was not restricted. She then admitted to kicking Hardy, which prompted him to leave the residence.Another officer made contact with Hardy, who had driven off. He told law enforcement that the argument began over a dispute over text messages and escalated when the woman "got close to his face and started poking him in the forehead with her index finger." He said he "moved" the woman out of his way and "placed her on the bed by grabbing her arms."FORMER NFL DEFENSIVE END GREG HARDY ARRESTED IN TEXAS FOR ALLEGED ASSAULT OF FAMILY MEMBERHe denied that anything else happened.According to the arrest report, the officer speaking to the woman observed scratches and redness on the womans arms "that were consistent with a physical altercation." Officers did not note any visible injuries to Hardy.Hardy, 36, was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member.He spent five seasons with the Panthers, but he was placed on the commissioners exempt list in 2014 while a domestic violence case against him played out.FOX 4 reported that in 2014, Hardys ex-girlfriend alleged that theNFL player assaulted her during a fit of rage. He was initially convicted of assault, but those charges were later dismissed after the victim in the case failed to appear for a second trial. Hardy was then signed by theDallas Cowboys as a free agent in 2015, but he only played in 12 games that season after being issued a four-game suspension for violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy as it related to his case in North Carolina.He was not re-signed the following season.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    WNBA refuses to grant OutKick media credentials; What is the league hiding?
    It's been nearly two weeks since Atlanta Dream forward Brittney Griner fouled out of a WNBA game against the Indiana Fever and then was seen on camera shouting something that has been interpreted multiple ways. Some people believe, based on reading her lips, that she said "f---ing white girl," while others believe she said "f---ing whack call." While no one is certain exactly what she said, there's an easy way to find out: ask Griner.However, no one has done that. OutKick has reached out to the WNBA and to Griner's management team several times, but hasn't received a single response. Still, Griner has participated in multiple games since the incident, which means the media has had plenty of access to simply ask the question. Yet, not a single "reporter" has.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMWould you like to know why? Because there's no such thing as a WNBA "reporter" or "journalist." Sure, there are people who have such titles in their social media bios or on their LinkedIn pages. But they're not telling the truth. The media members who cover the WNBA don't operate with journalistic integrity instead, they act like PR professionals whose goal is not to report facts, but to simply promote the league. Why is that the case? Because the WNBA wants it that way.OutKick requested a media credential for the Atlanta Dream game in Los Angeles against the Sparks on May 27. The Sparks denied our request. OutKick requested a media credential for the Atlanta Dream game in Connecticut against the Sun on Friday night. The Sun denied our request.Here's the reason provided, via email, by the Sun: "Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate your request for amedia credential for Connecticut Sun vs. Atlanta Dream on Friday, June 6. Due to very limited space, priority is givento those that are associated with outlets that have consistently covered the organization for previous seasons."CAITLIN CLARK'S EAGERLY AWAITED REMATCH WITH ANGEL REESE PUT ON ICE AS STAR TAKES SMART APPROACH TO RECOVERYReally? There's not enough space for one more media member for a regular-season game between the 1-6 Connecticut Sun and the Atlanta Dream? Interesting. OutKick asked the team why it refused our request for a credential, if it denied any other credentials and if there is an edict from the WNBA to keep us from covering games. The Sun did not respond to our questions.The Sun granted several media credentials to OutKick last year, including a playoff game that featured the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark, so it's unlikely that their excuse is anywhere near the truth. No, the more likely reason is that the WNBA doesn't want OutKick at its games. Why? Because we refuse to act like a PR firm representing the league and want to ask actual questions. You know, reporting. But the WNBA doesn't want that.That's why not one "reporter" or "journalist" has asked Brittney Griner what she said on May 23. They want to continue to get media credentials. The league has sent the message loud-and-clear: cover the WNBA how we want you to cover it, or you're not going to be invited back.Companies, organizations and governments that have nothing to hide welcome reporters. Why wouldn't they? Transparency builds trust. And if there's nothing to hide, there's no reason not to be transparent. Maybe the WNBA isn't hiding anything. But denying media access to a major news organization raises doubts about whether it is being fully transparent.Take a look at an example from last season. Christine Brennan, one of the most progressive liberals in the sports media, came under fire for simply asking DiJonai Carrington about poking Caitlin Clark in the eye. It was a perfectly reasonable question, and one that needed to be asked. Yet, the WNBA Players' Association issued a statement asking the league to revoke Brennan's media credentials. Cover us the way we want, or you're not coming to our birthday party!But just because the WNBA won't let us into its games doesn't mean we're going to stop asking. And we're certainly not going to give up our journalistic duties just because every other "reporter" who covers the league is willing to do it.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Media's glaring double standard exposed: Musk vilified while Dem senator gets a pass for identical gesture
    Elon Musk and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.,made similar gestures this year that were handled very differently by the press, according to a study conducted by the Media Research Center.Musk was famously accused of doing theNazi salutein January while celebrating President Donald Trumps inauguration at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., when the Tesla mogul placed his hand over his heart and quickly extended it in a motion that alarmed liberal pundits. Booker made a similar gesture on Saturday when he capped off a speech to the California Democratic Party's convention by placing his right hand on his chest before raising it to the crowd.When Musk made the motion, he told the crowd he wanted to thank Trump supporters "from my heart to yours," but many quickly accused Musk of the Nazi-era salute. When Booker did it, many conservatives took to social media to remind them that Musks critics frowned upon the move, but their point was essentially disregarded by the press.BOOKER SLAMMED FOR ALLEGED 'NAZI SALUTE' TO CALI DEMS JUST MONTHS AFTER MUSK WAS DRAGGED FOR SAME GESTURECNN, MSNBC and PBS spent 16 minutes and 17 seconds on the Musk ordeal in the week immediately following his gesture, according to the Media Research Center. The outlets found time to cover Musk during the midst of the inauguration as President Donald Trump made nonstop news with a bevy of executive orders.Bookers similar gesture was completely ignored by CNN, MSNBC and PBS, along with the broadcast networks, according to the MRC.ABC, NBC and CBS didnt cover either gesture, according to the MRC.NewsBusters senior research analyst Bill D'Agostino, who conducted the MRC study, noted that pundits continued to cover Elons "salute" long after the first week."Musk's salute has been brought up a total of 55 times on left-wing cable CNN/MSNBC and PBS, but only 22 of those occurred during the first week immediately following the incident," D'Agostino told Fox News Digital.ELON MUSK AND CORY BOOKER MADE SIMILAR SALUTES BUT MEDIA REACTED MUCH DIFFERENTLY"The longest single discussion about it took place more than a month after the actual incident, on the February 23 edition of MSNBCs Velshi, during a larger segment which solely focused on the question of whether Musk is, in fact, a crypto-Nazi," D'Agostino added. "Musk was rarely given the benefit of the doubt for the gesture."D'Agostino found that much of the CNN and MSNBC coverage featured commentators or journalists calling it a "Nazi salute" or "Hitler salute.""The vast majority were eager not only to describe it as such, but to draw connections between it and Musks subsequent speech to Germanys AFD party," D'Agostino said."Theyre still talking about it," he added, noting that Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh even mentioned Musks gesture this week on CNN.ELON MUSK'S MOTHER URGES HIM TO SUE CNN, OTHER NEWS OUTLETS FOR PEDDLING 'NAZI SALUTE' NARRATIVEBookers team has attempted to downplay the similar hand gesture."Cory Booker was obviously just waving to the crowd. Anyone who claims his wave is the same as Elon Musks gesture is operating in bad faith. The differences between the two are obvious to anyone without an agenda," a Booker spokesperson told Forbes.Booker's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Heritage Foundation media fellow Tim Young told Fox News Digital he believes the ordeal is yet another "of the many instances where you see a clear media bias" against Republicans, as Musk was still tied to Trump when the incident occurred.Musk and Trump have had a messy public spat this week, but it remains to be seen if that will improve Musk's standing in the anti-Trump media.

    Mike Johnson says he hopes Trump, Musk 'reconcile' amid ongoing feud
    Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said he hopes President Donald Trump and Elon Musk "reconcile" after a furious public feud over Republicans' "one big, beautiful bill.""I was with the president in the Oval Office yesterday afternoon as some of this was unfolding, and I can tell you, as he said in his own words, he was just, he was disappointed, and I was surprised by Elon's sudden opposition," Johnson told reporters on Friday."I believe in redemption. That's part of my worldview, and I think it's good for the party and the country if all that's worked out."Then, without addressing Musk directly, Johnson appeared to chide him for attacking Trump.MEET THE TRUMP-PICKED LAWMAKERS GIVING SPEAKER JOHNSON A FULL HOUSE GOP CONFERENCE"I'll tell you what, do not doubt and do not second guess and don't ever challenge the President of the United States, Donald Trump. He is the leader of the party, hes the most consequential political figure of this generation, in probably the modern era, and he's doing an excellent job for the people," Johnson said.Asked whether he'd spoken to Musk since the tirade, Johnson said earlier Friday morning, "We exchanged texts, but I'm not going to talk about the content of it."Johnson also said Republicans were unfazed by the criticism coming from the tech billionaire often called the richest man in the world.MIKE JOHNSON, DONALD TRUMP GET BIG, 'BEAUTIFUL WIN AS BUDGET PASSES HOUSE"Members are not shaken at all. We are going to pass this legislation on our deadline, and we're very bullish about it," he said.White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital when asked about Johnson's call for unity, "President Trump is focused on making our country great again and passing the One Big Beautiful Bill."Trump told Fox News' Bret Baier in an interview on Friday that he was not interested in speaking with Musk, nor was he worried about Musk's threat to launch a third political party."Elon's totally lost it," the president said.Musk accused Republicans of not working hard enough to cut federal spending with their budget reconciliation bill, which is aimed at advancing Trump's priorities on tax cuts, immigration, energy, defense and the debt limit.The Tesla CEO called out Trump, Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., all by name as well.Republicans, for the most part, have closed ranks around Trump and their bill.

    Far-left House candidate rallies around healthcare for illegal immigrants: 'How is it controversial?'
    Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic candidate for Illinois' ninth congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, said "every single person in the world deserves healthcare," even illegal immigrants."How is it controversial?" Abughazaleh asked a CNN "NewsNight" panel on Thursday night.The young progressive candidate, with a campaign website that reads, "I don't have health insurance, and I'm running for Congress," repeatedly told the panel that every person is entitled to healthcare when asked if that includes illegal immigrants."I'm such a monster How is it controversial that I don't want someone to die in the hospital if they can't afford it?" Abughazaleh asked.DEMS WARN HOUSE REPUBLICANS WILL PAY PRICE AT BALLOT BOX FOR PASSING TRUMP'S 'BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL'President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act is currently under consideration by a Republican-led White House and Congress. The president has championed the legislation as fulfilling his key campaign promises, including border security, American energy production and tax cuts.GOP RAILS AGAINST 'BLATANTLY FALSE' DEM CLAIMS ABOUT MEDICAID REFORM IN TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'House Republicans have celebrated Medicaid reform included in the megabill, which they say eliminates waste, fraud and abuse in the welfare program to deliver for Americans who need coverage most.Removing illegal immigrants from Medicaid is one of the key provisions of that Medicaid reform.Meanwhile, Democrats have railed against possible Medicaid cuts since Trump was elected in November. Every House Democrat voted against the bill, and Democrats are already defining Medicaid cuts as a driving issue ahead of competitive midterm elections in 2026.The bill does not cut Medicaid for the most vulnerable, according to Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Ind., who served on three major committees leading budget markup in the reconciliation process.Houchin told Fox News Digital that targeting waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicaid program cuts benefits to illegal immigrants, those ineligible to receive benefits who are currently receiving benefits, duplicate enrollees in one or more states and those who are able-bodied but are choosing not to work."Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and itll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls," Abughazaleh said in response to a Republican National Committee (RNC) rapid response account calling her comments, "madness."Abughazaleh said she is running for the U.S. House of Representatives because, "Our leaders are out of touch."The young Democrat is challenging Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., who has served decades in congress. Abughazaleh is a former staffer for the progressive watchdog group, Media Matters, and a progressive influencer.

    Trump signs new executive orders intended to make flying cars a reality, slash flight times
    President Donald Trump signed three new executive orders on Friday aimed at accelerating American drone innovation and supersonic air travel, while also restoring security to American airspace.The three orders will be critical to American safety and security, White House officials involved in the drafting of the orders indicated, particularly in light of major worldwide events coming to the United States in the next few years, such as the World Cup and the Olympics. In addition to bolstering safety and security, the new orders will also spur greater innovation in the aerospace and drone sectors, something White House officials said has been stifled in recent years as a result of burdensome regulations. "Flying cars are not just for the Jetsons," Michael Kratsios, a lead tech policy adviser at the White House said. "Since the beginning of his first term, President Trump has recognized the incredible potential of drones to boost American productivity, create high-skilled jobs and meet national needs in areas like public safety, infrastructure, inspection, agriculture and more. But for too long, red tape has hindered homegrown drone innovation, restricting commercial drone use and burdening their development."DUFFY CONTRASTS BIDEN-ERA 'DRONE FIASCO' WITH TRUMP ADMIN'S 'RADICAL TRANSPARENCY' AFTER FAA ANNOUNCES TESTINGKratsios said the same about supersonic aviation, noting that "Americans should be able to fly from New York to L.A. in under four hours."Besides promoting innovation, the orders also seek to shore up American airspace sovereignty. This directive is aimed at not only addressing potentially criminal, or terror-related threats, but it also aims to increase penalties for and reduce the prevalence of drone misuse in American airspace."The President week one, wanted us to take this issue seriously because of the national fury over the events over New Jersey," Senior Director of Counterterrorism on Trump administration's National Security Council, Sebastian Gorka, said of the new executive orders signed Friday. "For far too many years we have not had a requisite, necessary federal response not only to the dominance of non-U.S. platforms in this field, but also protecting sensitive sites, military sites, critical infrastructure, but also just sporting events, mass events."REBECCA GRANT: AMERICA HAS A DRONE PROBLEM, AND NO ONE IS IN CHARGEWhite House officials who advised the president on these new executive orders said there will be more protection for critical infrastructure for sporting venues as a result of the new directives, including the upcoming FIFA World Cup. They will also enable "routine beyond visual line of sight commercial operations," such as drone deliveries, infrastructure maintenance and emergency response to incidents like wildfires.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe orders will also reduce the United States' reliance on foreign countries for drone and other aviation technology, officials added."These executive orders will accelerate American innovation in drones, flying cars and supersonic aircraft and chart the future of America's skies for years to come," Kratsios said. "Our message is simple. American innovation belongs in American aerospace."

    Defibrillator installed on Everest winds up saving climber's life just weeks later
    A man who climbed Mount Everest to install a defibrillator there says the device wound up saving a womans life just three weeks afterward.David Sullivan, 62, made the journey to the Himalayas to place the lifesaving device on the mountain.He believes it is the world's highest-positioned defibrillator, sitting more than 16,000 feet above sea level, according to news agency SWNS.EXTREME TRAVEL DESTINATION TO RESTRICT POPULAR MOUNTAIN ACCESSAfter losing four close friends all under age 45 to sudden cardiac arrest, Sullivan founded Code Blue CPR.He began traveling the globe as an advocate to provide CPR training and install life-saving equipment in hard-to-reach places.Earlier this year, Sullivan climbed to an altitude of 22,000 feet to test a defibrillator.He then descended to a village near Everest Base Camp to install it for emergency use.Sullivan returned home to Surrey on April 30, glad about what he'd accomplished but with no idea how quickly his work would make an impact.HOT TRAVEL TREND HAS PEOPLE TOWNSIZING BY VISITING QUAINT AMERICAN TOWNSJust three weeks later, he got a phone call."It was Friday (May 23), at around 3:45 a.m.," Sullivan told SWNS. "I have kids traveling the world, so I initially thought, Oh my God, something's happened."He added, "But it was a Sherpa [a Tibetan mountain guide] who told me the defibrillator had been activated and saved a 30-year-old woman's life," Sullivan said. "It was the proudest moment of my life."The rescue confirmed why he'd taken on the physically and emotionally demanding journey.While in the Himalayas, Sullivan didnt just install the defibrillator - he also trained local Sherpas and villagers, many of whom had never received emergency medical instruction, according to SWNS."It is incredible that something so simple can save someone's life - and I hope it will help people realize how important it is to have access to defibrillators," Sullivan said."Being within three minutes of a defibrillator increases your chance of survival from 8% to more than 50%," he added.For Sullivan, there's another personal angle.He once had to use his CPR training just months after learning it himself. "I performed nine minutes of CPR for a young man and used a defibrillator just three months after I had been shown how to," he told SWNS."While I was doing this, around 30 people just watched and didn't help - because they didn't know how."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERWhen the young man's mother called him the next day to say her son was alive, Sullivan said it changed his life."I knew then that everyone should know how to save a life," Sullivan said.Now, Sullivan wants to dedicate himself to reshaping others' lives.He is moving forward with a plan to train 1.2 million students in CPR through a school initiative."We want every school to have a new defibrillator and every person in the school - students, teachers, staff - to have all the training necessary to save someone's life," he told SWNS.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"We won't stop until we achieve that," he also said.
