(See the video at the top of this article.)BREAKFAST SHOULD BE YOUR BIGGEST MEAL OF THE DAY, HERE'S THE LATEST INSIGHT ON WHYDoocy pushed back a bit."Well, that's not breakfast," he said. "That's lunch."Kid Rock suggested otherwise."It's breakfast. I just eat at a different time."HERE'S HOW LONG YOU SHOULD WAIT BETWEEN MEALS, SAY NUTRITION EXPERTSKid Rock's newest venture is a steak, seafood and fine-dining establishment in partnership with Joe Muer, a restaurateur from Kid Rock's hometown of Detroit.It's filled with memorabilia from Kid Rock's musical career.There is also a mirror on the wall with an inscription that reads, "Go Where You're Celebrated Not Tolerated."Kid Rock told "Fox & Friends" it's the restaurant's motto.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"Years ago, I had a spot in Detroit and there's a few bad actors there [who] tried to get me involved with the cancel culture and all that stuff, so I didn't renew my lease," he said.Kid Rock said his new restaurant is a place where customers can "come for some good food and chill."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleA grand-opening celebration for the restaurant was held on Tuesday night.Among those in attendance were "Reagan" actor Dennis Quaid and Grammy Award-winning singer Lee Greenwood, who performed at the event.The restaurant has even received an endorsement from President Donald Trump, who wrote about it in a Truth Social post this past Monday night."Congratulations to my friend, Kid Rock (I call him Bob!), on the Grand Opening of his new Nashville restaurant, 'The Detroit Cowboy,'" Trump wrote."I hear it is a very friendly MAGA establishment, and look forward to going there sometime soon," the president also wrote.Kid Rock was with Trump at the White House in late March for the signing of an executive order targeting unfair scalping of concert tickets.

America has a parenting problem. Were raising our kids to be dependent adults financially coddled long past the point of reason. And its not just hurting them. Its killing our retirement.As a parent of three children aged 23, 25 and 27, I get asked all the time about when the right time is to get your kids off the family payroll. When should you "kick" them out of the house? When should they get off the family mobile phone bill? When should they take over their own car insurance?Over the past 10 years, Ive seen firsthand how Baby Boomer and Gen X parents sabotage their golden years trying to bankroll their grown childrens lives. Enough is enough. If your kid is 25, has a college degree, and still expects you to Venmo them money for their You Tube TV bill, its time for a family intervention not another handout.Lets talk about why its time to cut the cord and how to do it without wrecking your family dynamics or your future.FOUNDING FATHERS UNDERSTOOD PARENTAL RIGHTS ARE NATURAL RIGHTS. TRUMP KNOWS IT, TOOAccording to Pew Research, over50% of Americans aged 18 to 29are living at home with their parents. Have we become Italy? Let that sink in. More than half of young adults are still sleeping in their childhood bedrooms, many of them not paying rent, utilities or even their own Netflix subscriptions.Is this really because inflation has grown massively over the past five years?Instead, weve raised and coddled a generation of kids with participation trophies and safety nets so wide they dont know what it means to fall and get back up. My career started with having $67 to my name in a Boston BayBank account and living in Section 8 housing in South Boston. It motivated me to work hard and become a big success.You could argue though, its not entirely their fault. In 1980, the home to income ratio was 2 to 1 and now in 2025 its 6 to 1. Wages simply have not kept up with the cost of real estate. College is more expensive, grocery prices have skyrocketed, and new and used car prices are at an all-time high.WHY CODDLING OUR CHILDREN ULTIMATELY HURTS THEMBut theres a fine line between helping and enabling. And right now, too many parents are crossing it.The right time to get your kids off the family payroll?Between 22 and 25, no exceptions. By that age, they should be working, budgeting and learning how to manage money without your daily deposits.Im not saying you shouldnt help them through school or during a job transition. But after graduation or a reasonable gap year its time for them to face the real world. If theyre still living at home, they need to contribute. Charge rent. Ask them to pay their share of groceries and utilities. Hold them accountable.Parents often ask me whats OK to cover after their kids turn 22. Heres the short list:THE CHILDREN WE LEFT BEHIND: A RECKONING WITH AMERICAS GROWING FATHERLESSNESSEverything else rent, car insurance, cell phone, credit cards, student loans, groceries, even gas should be on them. Yes, its hard. But thats life. And its far better to teach financial responsibility now than watch them flounder at 35 because no one made them pay a bill. You only value what you earn, not whats given to you.Heres what nobody wants to say out loud:you cant retire on guilt.Every dollar you spend bailing out your adult children is a dollar youre not putting into your 401(k), IRA or savings. Over time, it adds up big time and why many people now must work into their 70s.A recent Merrill Lynch study showed that parents spend an average of$500 per monthsupporting adult children. Thats $6,000 a year. Over a decade, thats $60,000 money that could grow your nest egg or pay off your mortgage.If you dont start protecting your own future, whos going to support you later? Your kid who doesnt know how to write a check?CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONYou dont need to be mean. You need to be clear.Happiness is about expectations met or unmet, so its time to set expectations. Sit down with your kids and lay out a plan:Set a deadline: "In six months, youll be covering your own car insurance and phone bill."Charge rent if theyre living at home: Even a few hundred bucks builds responsibility. If you want to save it and give it to them when they leave, that could make perfect sense.Offer tools, not bailouts: Teach them to budget, apply for jobs and build credit.Share your retirement goals: Let them see the bigger picture your financial health matters, too.Loving your kids doesnt mean supporting them forever. It means preparing them to stand on their own two feet. If you really want to help them, stop being their bank. Give them the skills and motivation to earn their own paycheck and protect yours.Because in the end, your job isnt to raise kids. Its to raise adults.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM TED JENKIN

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly "feared" that the lengthy delay in the issuance of U.K. passports for their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, was due to King Charles III's alleged opposition to the use of their royal titles.According to the Guardian, the couple considered changing their family's last name to Spencer due to their "sheer exasperation" over the unexplained months-long wait for the legal documents.Per the outlet, the 40-year-old Duke of Sussex had a face-to-face discussion with his uncle, Earl Charles Spencer, about the idea of taking his late mother Princess Dianas surname for his family.However, the idea of the prospective name change was dropped when the passports for Harry and Meghan's son Archie, 6, and daughter Lilibet, 4, arrived almost six months after their applications were first submitted.According to the Guardian, the standard waiting period for passports in the U.K. is three weeks.PRINCE HARRY DEEPENS FAMILY RIFT BY REPORTEDLY CONSIDERING NAME CHANGE: EXPERT"There was clear reluctance to issue passports for the kids," a source close to the Sussexes told the outlet.According to a source that spoke with the Guardian, British officials were allegedly "dragging their feet because the passport applications included the titles HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) for both children."The source went on to claim that "the king hadnt wanted Archie and Lili to carry the titles, most of all the HRH, and the British passports, once created, would be the first and perhaps the only legal proof of their names."Fox News Digital has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.A representative for Buckingham Palace told the Telegraph that they strongly deny that Charles or palace officials had any involvement in the delay regarding the passports for Archie and Lilibet.The spokesperson told the outlet, "No," when asked if the palace made any suggestion or raised any objection to the children's passports being issued with the HRH titles.Meanwhile, the source told the Guardian that "Harry was at a point where British passports for his children with their updated Sussex surnames (since the death of Queen Elizabeth II) were being blocked with a string of excuses over the course of five months."The source continued, "Out of sheer exasperation he went to his uncle to effectively say: My family are supposed to have the same name and theyre stopping that from happening because the kids are legally HRH, so if push comes to shove, if this blows up and they wont let the kids be called Sussex, then can we use Spencer as a surname?"Fox News Digital confirmed that Harry did have a meeting with Earl Spencer in which they discussed the name change. However, a source said that earlier reports that Earl Spencer told the Duke, "the legal hurdles were insurmountable," and his uncle "advised him against taking such a step" were "wholly inaccurate."A spokesperson for the duke told Fox News Digital, "We do not comment on private issues pertaining to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's children."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSAccording to the Guardian, the Sussexes faced multiple delays while trying to obtain their children's passports.The outlet reported that the children's passports were finally issued shortly after the couple's lawyers sent a letter to the U.K.'s Home Office in which they threatened to submit a data subject access request.Per the Guardian, the request "could have revealed details of the delays and the nature of any behind-the-scenes discussions between British officials responsible for issuing the documents."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTEREarlier this week, People magazine reported that Archie and Lilbet have Mountbatten-Windsor listed as their last names on their birth certificates.However, the family now uses Sussex as their last name, just as Harry was known as "Harry Wales" during his childhood when his parents held the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales. Its a tradition within the royal family for children to take their parents titles as a surname.Harry and Meghan no longer use their HRH titles since stepping down as working royals in January 2020. At the time, Buckingham Palace said in a statement, "The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSHowever, the Sussexes announced in 2023 that their children would keep their HRH titles and the royal family's website updated their line of succession to include Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, listed right after their father."The children's titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch. This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace," a spokesperson for the Sussexes confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time.According to the Guardian, "Prince Harry wants to keep the HRH titles for his children so that when they grow older they can decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals, or stay out of public life."

Los Angeles is rioting again. Mobs, amped up by professional agitators and implicit support from Democratic elected officials, have attacked federal law enforcement officers with deadly intent. This violence, which includes hurling rocks, torching cars, launching fireworks, and assaulting federal law enforcement officers, aims to prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements (ICE) from carrying out lawful deportation efforts.Missing the irony, the rioters enthusiastically waved the flags of nations to which they are fighting against being returned.FEDERAL OFFICIALS SLAM DEMOCRATS FOR 'DANGEROUS' RHETORIC AS ICE AGENTS FACE VIOLENT MOBS IN LA, NYCIn response, federal and some local law enforcement deployed tear gas and flash bangs to disperse the crowd in the LA suburb of Paramount. But with law enforcement lives clearly threatened and the local law enforcement response less than robust, President Donald Trump ordered up 2,000 members of the National Guard to restore order. Additional active duty troops are said to be on standby.Predictably, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass clutch their pearls, whining about "cruel" immigration enforcement while the city spirals into anarchy. Newsom labeled Trumps federalization of the National Guard "purposefully inflammatory." He said it would escalate tensionsone supposes the future presidential candidate sees the ruckus as "mostly peaceful." The pro-immigration without limits group, the League of United Latin American Citizens, predictably condemned Trumps order, claiming it "marks a deeply troubling escalation in the administrations approach to immigration and civilian reaction to the use of military-style tactics."Trump isnt moved by the criticism. He doesnt want to see federal law enforcement officers killed or injured by anarchists and would-be revolutionaries for simply doing their jobs.I saw this movie before. In 1992, as a California Army National Guard captain, I patrolled LAs scorched Crenshaw District during the Rodney King riots. Looters ran wild, businesses burned, and chaos reigned until Gov. Pete Wilson called up the National Guard and President George H.W. Bush invoked the Insurrection Act, sending 3,500 federal troopsactive duty Army and Marinesto back 10,000 federalized Guardsmen. Order swiftly returned. It worked.Theres a big differenceso farbetween todays unrest and that of 1992. The Rodney King riot was initially sparked by resentment over what was seen as excessive police force. Due to LAs chronically under-staffed police department and a tactical errorpulling back law enforcement from an intersection that had been taken over by a violent mobthe riot quickly spiraled out of control. By the end, some 63 people were dead, 2,383 injured, 12,111 arrested, and more than $2.3 billion in inflation-adjusted property damage was inflicted. In comparison, the 1992 LA riot equaled all the death, injuries, arrests, and damage of the 2020 George Floyd-Antifa-BLM riots of 2020 combined. In 1992, once law and order broke down, opportunistic looting and arson quickly followed.Todays riots are fueled by open-borders radicals and their enablers, not anger over police using excessive force. ICE is enforcing federal law, rounding up illegal immigrant criminals and those with final deportation orders. And the danger, so far, is more focused on federal law enforcement officers, not private property per se.Thus, theres a subtle difference in the call-up of troops, both in the size of the deployment13,500 in 1992 vs. 2,000 todayand in their purpose.Normally, National Guard personnel, when operating on a state mission for a governor, can enforce civilian law. The post-Civil War Posse Comitatus Act which generally prohibits the use of the military to enforce civilian laws doesnt apply. But when the Guard is federalizedthat is, called up to federal servicethe Posse Comitatus Acts restrictions apply to the Guard, just as they do to active-duty service members. But theres a big exception: The Insurrection Act. Through 1992, presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act 31 times. Essentially, when local law and order break down, the president is authorized to use the military to enforce civilian law.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONBut Trump has not yet invoked the Insurrection Act. What he did instead was to call up the California National Guard and potentially some Marines toprotect federal law enforcement officers. Thus, these military personnel will not be allowed to arrest agitators and rioters or conduct immigration enforcement operations, but they will be allowed to perform force protection missions and provide logistical support.Of course, if thats not enough. Trump can always invoke the Insurrection Act, federalize more National Guard soldierseven from other statesand send in additional active-duty forces, just as Eisenhower and Kennedy did to smash segregationist resistance in the 1950s and 60s.Newsom and Bass are at fault here. Their failure is glaring. Californians have been voting with their feet for years, fleeing Newsoms wrong-headed policies. Now, his mismanagement of LAs violence will torch what is left of his presidential ambitions.These rioters arent protesterstheyre insurgents. Like Antifa in 2020, theyre attacking federal authority, targeting ICE agents enforcing laws Congress passed. Newsom and Bass coddle them. Since they wont act, Trump must.The left will scream "tyranny," and some retired generals will fret about "politicizing" the military. But anarchy is a brutal tyranny of its own kind.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM CHUCK DEVORE

"Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians.
