President Donald Trump will be engaging in numerous foreign policy discussions this upcoming week at a NATO summit, where more than just Ukraine will be the focus of conversations between foreign leaders.A senior Trump official told the Wall Street Journal Sunday that the president still intends to attend the summit that will be held in The Hague, starting Wednesday. He will depart for the Netherlands on Tuesday and arrive late in the evening the same day.It is a slight schedule change from his originally planned departure date of Monday, per previous reports.TRUMP ADDRESSES NATION ON 'SPECTACULAR MILITARY SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIESTrump was expected to attend a state dinner between foreign leaders on Tuesday evening, but it is unclear whether he will still attend due to the late-Tuesday arrival time. The White House did not respond to Fox News Digital's requests for additional information about the president's schedule.The schedule change comes after the president recently abruptly left the G7 economic summit in Canada to attend to the ongoing situation in the Middle East that tamped up Saturday.NEW REPORT WARNS NATO'S DATA VULNERABILITIES COULD COST LIVES WITHOUT US FIXThe summit between foreign leaders will likely include conversations about Trump's recent decision to involve the United States in Israel's campaign in the Middle East.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to be in attendance as well, with leaders expected to discuss ongoing assistance to Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia. However, Ukraine's crisis is not expected to be the central issue of concern, with global tensions in Iran likely to take a major chunk of the summit's attention.Leaders are also expected to discuss NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte's proposal that each member country contribute at least 5% of their gross domestic product to defense spending. The idea, framed as a Trump win, has been rejected by Spain, while others have taken issue with the speed at which the move to increase NATO-member defense spending has taken.The summit will end Wednesday and Trump will depart back to Washington thereafter. There will be heavy security and protesters have already taken to the streets in protest of the upcoming summit.

In the wake of anti-ICE protesters and rioters trapping drivers in Los Angeles and other cities in recent days, Republican lawmakers want to make blocking streets a federal crime.Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., will seek this week to make it a federal crime to obstruct or create intentional traffic. The"Safe and Open Streets Act" is a direct response to the "radical tactics of anti-ICE protesters who have intentionally blocked roads and highways across the country," Tillis said.Lawbreakers could face fines or up to five years in prison.I CALL IT REBELLION: MAXINE WATERS' HISTORY OF ENFLAMING CROWDS FROM RODNEY KING TO TODAYVideo from Los Angeles showed rioters blocking expressways and city streets alike, at times violently attacking or confronting local and federal officers. Under California law, it is a misdemeanor to "willfully and maliciously obstruct the free movement of any person on any street, sidewalk, or other public place" an ordinance rarely enforced during recent protests.Tillis own state has not been immune to such blockages, as protesters shut down a busy portion of NC-147; Durham, North Carolinas freeway, during rush hour in November 2023. Those protesters were seeking to "Free Palestine" and objecting to the Western response to the Oct. 7 massacre by Hamas of Israeli and American citizens.Immigration-related protests also cropped up recently on a main thoroughfare in Greensboro."The emerging tactic of radical protesters blocking roads and stopping commerce is not only obnoxious to innocent commuters, but its also dangerous and will eventually get people killed. It needs to be a crime throughout the country," Tillis told Fox News Digital.Tillis added that the "radical" anti-immigration enforcement protesters must face the "full weight of the law" if they endanger public safety.Sen. Ted Budd, Tillis Tarheel State counterpart, will be joining the effort, saying in a statement that emergency personnel being held up by such blockages put the public in further danger.MAXINE WATERS TORCHED BY FEDS FOR 'TAUNTING' GUARDSMEN AND 'SPEWING LIES' ABOUT RIOTS, TRYING TO ENTER JAIL"The First Amendment protects the right to assemble and protest peacefully, but it does not permit suchbehavior," Budd said.In another recent incident, pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike in Virginia where Interstates 64 and 95 converge and carve through the city.In that incident, protesters threw ladders and laid chicken wire across the Rocky Mount-bound lanes of the highway to grind rush hour to a halt at the citys downtown "Boulevard" exit.LA RIOTS PREVENTABLE IF SACRAMENTO DEMS HAD ACTED, CA GOP SAYS"Blocking major roads to stop traffic flows is nothing short of lawlessness that should not be tolerated," said Sen. Marsha Blackburn of neighboring Tennessee."These activists are not only intentionally creating a dangerous situation for themselves, but perhaps for a citizen who is awaiting an ambulance or a hard worker who will lose their job for being late," she said in announcing her co-sponsorship of Tillis legislation; calling out "Hamas sympathizers" such as those in Richmond and Durham.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFocusing again on Los Angeles, co-sponsor Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said that he watched the riots for "nearly a week" as California officials "did nothing" until President Donald Trump stepped in."[D]omestic terrorists assaulted ICE and law enforcement officers, set fire to cop cars and blocked the streets, all while Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass sat on their tails and did nothing," the former Auburn coach said."This is a prime example of what happens when lawlessness goes unpunished."In New Orleans, where protests such as the anti-Trump "No Kings Day" event last week have been massive but more orderly, Sen. Bill Cassidy added that he supports Tillis bill because people have the right to have their voices heard but not to "undermine peoples livelihoods."

Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., criticized President Donald Trump's decision to strike Iran's nuclear sites on Sunday, arguing that it shouldn't have happened without congressional approval, but said the only positive was that it set the regime's nuclear program back."In terms of is there anything positive to come out of it? Yes. I mean, the destruction of these facilities is a positive in the sense that it will set back Irans program. And look, this is a nefarious regime that is the preeminent state sponsor of terror, should have never been pursuing a nuclear program. But it is very possible, and I think we have to anticipate Iran now kicks out any inspectors. It leaves the nonproliferation treaty. And if it wasnt in a sprint for a bomb, it is now going to engage in a sprint for the bomb," he told CNN's Kasie Hunt during "State of the Union" on Sunday.Trump announced on Saturday that the U.S. had successfully bombed Iran's nuclear sites. Iran's military launched strikes against Israel as the president called for "peace.""So, a lot of uncertainty finally, this was not constitutional. It was not lawful, in the absence of a declaration by Congress. And so the administration should have come to Congress, we will have a vote on a war powers resolution. But theres a reason to bring this to Congress, and it is, you want the Congress bought in, you want the American people bought in on an action this substantial that could lead to a major outbreak of war," Schiff continued.'INSTINCTS FOR RESTRAINT': SENATE DIVIDED OVER WHO GETS TO DECLARE WARHunt asked Schiff if he believed the world was less safe this morning than yesterday."I dont think, to be honest, Kasie, theres any way for us to know. Anyone who says they can see into the future and what the Iranian response will be, whether it will claim American lives or whether there will be some change in the Iranian regime or new, opening a new opportunity. We simply dont know. We simply dont know," Schiff said."And I think because of that uncertainty, you dont want to take an action like this without a strong basis that is that Iran was imminently pursing a bomb," he continued. "We simply don't have that intelligence, or if we do, it hasn't been shared with the Congress."Schiff suggested Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth didn't know either, citing his Sunday morning press conference.FAR LEFT, ANTI-ISRAEL VOICES DECRY TRUMP IRAN STRIKE, DISMISS IDEA HE'S 'ANTIWAR PRESIDENT'CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURETrump received bipartisan pushback over U.S. involvement with Iran following Trump's strike.Representatives Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky., criticized the president for green-lighting attacks on the three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday night."This is not constitutional," Massie said, responding to Trump's Truth Social post announcing the strikes on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan in Iran.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Trump struck Iran without any authorization of Congress.

FIRST ON FOX The House Republican campaign committee is taking aim at congressional Democrats whom they charge are "pushing the largest tax hike in generations."As part of their aggressive messaging following the passage last month of the GOP's landmark spending and tax cut bill dubbed by President Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill" the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is launching ads on Monday against 25 House Democrats who likely face challenging re-elections in the 2026 midterms."Democrats jacked up inflation, making life more expensive for all of us. We need help. Now, theyre pushing the largest tax hike in generations," charges the narrator in the digital ads, which were shared first with Fox News.The narrator argues that the Democrats being targeted in the ads are "completely out of touch" and urges viewers of the spots to tell the Democratic lawmakers to keep their "hands off your hard-earned money."FIRST ON FOX: TRUMP-ALIGNED GROUP LAUNCHES SECOND ACT IN PUSH TO PASS BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILLThe bill passed the House of Representatives last month by just one vote, along partisan lines. And Trump is pushing for a July 4 deadline for the measure to pass through Congress and land on his desk at the White House.The GOP-crafted measure is stuffed full of Trump's campaign trail promises and second-term priorities on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit. It includes extending his signature 2017 tax cuts, which are set to sunset this year without action by Congress and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.But the measure, if signed into law, would likely even further fuel the nation's massive budget deficit. The national debt currently sits at $36,215,397,741,847.76 as of June 18, according to FOX Business' National Debt Tracker.FOX NEWS POLL: WHAT AMERICANS THINK ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND TRUMP'S BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILLThe spots, backed by a modest ad buy, are targeting California Democrats Josh Harder (9th District), Adam Gray (13th), George Whitesides (27th), Derek Tran (45th) and Dave Min (47th), and Florida's Darren Soto (9th) and Jared Moskowitz (23rd).Also included are Reps. Frank Mrvan (1st) of Indiana, Jared Golden (2nd) of Maine, Kristen McDonald Rivet (8th) of Michigan, Don Davis (1st) of North Carolina, Nellie Pou (9th) of New Jersey, Gabe Vasquez (2nd) of New Mexico, Dina Titus (1st), and Susie Lee (3rd), and Steven Horsford (4th) of Nevada.The NRCC ads also take aim at Reps. Tom Suozzi (3rd), Laura Gillen (4th) and Josh Riley (19th) of New York, Marcy Kaptur (9th) and Emilia Sykes (13th) of Ohio, Henry Cuellar (28th) and Vicente Gonzalez (34th) of Texas, Eugene Vindman (7th) of Virginia, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (3rd) of Washington state.Democrats are working to win back control of the House in next year's midterms, as the GOP defends its razor-thin majority in the chamber."Out of touch House Democrats lit the fire of inflation and tried to slap Americans with the biggest tax hike in decades, all to fund their radical agenda. Voters wont forget this betrayal not now, not next November,"NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella claimed.FIRST ON FOX: THESE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS SAY THEY STAND UNITED IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP'S ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILLA memo last month by the NRCC encouraged House Republicans to make the tax cuts a priority as they defended their votes on the tax and spending bill, and to take aim at Democrats for pushing to raise taxes on average Americans.The memo highlighted that the bill "prevents tax increases to put more money in every Americans pocket."As Democrats attack the bill, theyre highlighting the GOPs proposed restructuring of Medicaid the nearly 60-year-old federal program that provides health coverage to roughly 71 million low-income Americans.The changes to Medicaid, as well as cuts to food stamps, another one of the nation's major safety net programs, were drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts. The measure includes a slew of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those seeking Medicaid coverage.Democrats have relentlessly attacked Republicans over what they say will be "huge cuts" to Medicaid if the bill becomes law.But the NRCC pushes back, saying in its memo that it is "protecting Medicaid by removing illegal immigrants and eliminating fraud."

The NATO summit will be held at The Hague in the Netherlands from June 24-25 and a range of defensive issues are expected to be addressed, including expanding national spending commitments, aid to Ukraine, emerging threats from Iran and relations with the U.S. under President Donald Trump.This will be the presidents first transatlantic summit since returning to the White House in January, and all eyes are on Trump, who has not shied away from explosive moments with U.S. allies, including at previous NATO summits.Following Saturday's attack by the U.S. against Iran's nuclear facilities, the Islamic Republic of Iran is expected to become one of the leading issues.Heres whats on the agenda:SPENDINGUKRAINEIRAN, RUSSIA, CHINAPUTIN RAISES THE STAKES ON GHOST FLEET SECURITY, AS NATO LAUNCHES WAR GAMES IN THE BALTIC SEAIn a statement released one week ahead of the summit, NATO said the "Heads of State and Government are expected to agree [to] a new defense investment plan" after months of speculation the alliance could increase its spending commitments from 2% of a nations GDP to 5%.The notion was first pushed by Trump after he won the election, and despite the sticker shock of what that could mean for not only the eight nations not yet hitting the 2% commitment, but also the U.S. which currently spends 3.38%, many European leaders got on board.Fox News Digital has not been able to confirm if NATO will increase its commitment to 5%, and some sources with knowledge of the discussions have suggested that figure could be closer to 3.5% over a period of up to 10 years. On Friday, it was announced that Spain was given an opt-out of paying 5%, instead, it will pay 2.1%, according to a report in the Associated Press."The real focus will be the new defense spending target," Peter Rough, senior fellow and director for the Center on Europe and Eurasia with the Hudson Institute, told Fox News Digital. "5% of gross domestic product as a top-line number however, only 3.5% must be devoted to hard defense.HEGSETH, MILITARY BRASS DESCRIBE INCREDIBLE AND OVERWHELMING SUCCESS OF US STRIKES ON IRA"And 1.5% can count toward adjacent categories, like cybersecurity or infrastructure for military mobility," he explained ahead of his testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee regarding the NATO summit.NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has been an ardent supporter of increasing defense spending, particularly as Europe continues to face its greatest threat since World War II.Earlier this month, ahead of a NATO ministerial meeting that served as a walk-up to the NATO summit, Rutte said leaders "will strengthen our deterrence and defense by agreeing ambitious new capability targets."He has detailed missile defense, long-range strike capabilities and deterrence as chief priorities, which comes not only as Russia continues its aggressive war in Ukraine, but as threats levied by a nuclearly ambitious Iran also escalate.UKRAINE-RUSSIA PEACE TALKS YIELD NO CEASEFIRE, ZELENSKYY WARNS PUTIN SHOULD NOT BE 'REWARDED'The issue of defending Ukraine is once again expected to be a top agenda item and has been a driving force in motivating the NATO alliance to drastically increase spending, which nations under the alliance first did following Russias 2022 invasion of Ukraine.However, given Trumps consistent push for increased NATO defensive spending, his threats to withdraw troops from Europe and his insistence that Kyiv not be allowed to join the 32-member alliance, Ukraines defense may not play as big of a front-and-center role this year."There wont be nearly as much focus on Ukraine as during the past few summits," argued Rough. "The White House is laser-focused on the defense investment pledge, and none of the other allies want to rock the boat."While nations like France, the UK and Germany have taken more direct leadership positions and ardently pledged their continued support for Ukraine, they have also toed the line when it comes to managing transatlantic relationships with Washington under Trump."Id expect a short, concise summit declaration with some mention of Ukraine but none of the ornate language that characterized past communiqus," Rough added.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to attend portions of the summits activities, like the opening dinner, though he is not yet confirmed to attend any official NATO meetings.Reporting suggested Trump could take issue with having Zelenskyy at a NATO event amid seemingly stalled ceasefire negotiations with Russia which have begun to take a backseat amid the strife between Israel and Iran.Trump has not held back at previous NATO summits when it came to the conflict over Russia, including in 2018 when he openly clashed with then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel when he accused Berlin of being "totally controlled by Russia" and claimed it was a "bad thing for NATO."NEW REPORT WARNS NATO'S DATA VULNERABILITIES COULD COST LIVES WITHOUT US FIXWith the U.S. launching Operation Midnight Hammer against three of Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan on Saturday, Iran is set to be one of the main topics for discussions by the NATO members as tensions with the regime in Tehran rise.Additionally, Russia continues to pose the greatest threat to Europe, not only as its war ambitions continue in Ukraine, but as intelligence agencies increasingly warn that "Russias postwar focus will be on NATO."Rough, in his testimony to the Senate, pointed to findings by Germanys Federal Intelligence Agency that said earlier this month that "We see that NATOs collective defense promise is to be testedWe are very sure, and we have intelligence evidence to back this up, that Ukraine is only one step on Russias path towards the West."Danish intelligence issued similar warnings earlier this year and said that should it find the right opportunity, Russia could launch hostile operations against a neighboring nation within six months of regrouping after a ceasefire in Ukraine.Rutte highlighted the severity of the direct threat Russia poses and said earlier this month during a trip to the UK that if nations do not take seriously the need to invest in the 5% defense spending push, then "you better learn to speak Russian."The alliances Moscow has cemented during its war in Ukraine have also brought to the forefront a very real threat to the West as China, North Korea and Iran have all played a major role in fueling Russias war machine.FOR PUTIN, 'US IS THE MAIN ENEMY,' ESTONIAN FOREIGN MINISTER SAYSChina, while it claims neutrality in the war, has staunchly supplied Russia with electronic components critical to modern warfare. Iran has supplied drones and technical know-how, while North Korea has not only provided munitions and military equipment, but boots on the ground for the war.While China and Russia have repeatedly committed their partnership as united against the West, North Korea has become increasingly emboldened and been provided technical know-how for missile development in exchange for its support, which poses a significant threat to not only partners in the East, but Western interests.Rough warned that "Russian President Vladimir Putin remains implacably opposed to the U.S.-European partnership, which he seeks to undermine at every opportunity."Additionally, Rough, citing U.S. military officials in Europe, said it would be a mistake to remove U.S. troops from Europe amid these increasingly united threats against the West.Troop agreements, collective defense and U.S. involvement in deterring Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are all expected to be a major point of discussion.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Barbara Walters told it like it was.The pioneering journalist, who died in 2022 and is the subject of a new documentary streaming this month, paved the way for other female reporters who followed her, breaking ground with news-making interviews.But she was also controversial.Here are six highlights from the new documentary "Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything."BARBARA WALTERS' TOUGH INTERVIEWS 'HAVEN'T AGED WELL,' FORMER COLLEAGUE CLAIMSWhile interviewing Clint Eastwood at his California ranch in 1982, Walters and the "Dirty Harry" actor discussed how he keeps most of his feelings inside, often not even sharing his worries with romantic partners."You would drive me nuts, and I would drive you crazy because I would be saying, But didnt you? Or havent you?" Walters told Eastwood as they sat facing each other on a picnic bench."Well, we could try it and see if it worked out," he answered dryly with a smirk.They both then laughed awkwardly, and Walters answered, "Well start with this interview and if this is OK, well say, Well, maybe well do another interview and"After a long pause, Walters said to the camera, "I think well stop and reload" as everyone burst out in laughter."Barbara had her fill of romance," gossip columnist Cindy Williams said in the documentary. "She thought a lot of guys were sexy. She was interested in the possibility of sex. She liked it. She liked men.""She was never cynical about love, and she was definitely a romantic kind of person," makeup artist Lori Klein said. "But romance just never worked in her life for long."Walters revealed on "The Tonight Show" in 2014 that Eastwood had asked her out to dinner after the interview, but she said no because she had work."This is a sad love story," she told host Jimmy Fallon. "I did this interview with Clint Eastwood something like 30 years ago. He was very flirtatious, and I was very taken (with him). He asked me if I wanted to have dinner... and I said, 'No, I have to work.' You know, I don't mix business with pleasure," which she said she later regretted."I could have been Mrs. Clint Eastwood!" she added."She was obsessed with three things: She was obsessed with money, fame and power," Peter Gethers, the editor of her autobiography, told the documentary. "When I would have conversations with her about her father, her father was a scoundrel. Her father was irresponsible with money, he was not a perfect family man. Scoundrel was the right word. And I think she was both horrified by that and attracted to that."He said one of the most difficult things in editing her autobiography was dealing with her close relationship with the late attorney Roy Cohn."I said to her, I would put Roy Cohn in my top 10 of horrible people in the 20th century," Gethers said. "But she loved him."Williams explained that because Cohn was famous, "it was worthwhile for Barbara. Barbara was famous, so it was worthwhile for Roy. They were two people who loved PR."'PSYCHO' ACTRESS VERA MILES PUT FAMILY BEFORE FAME, STEPPED AWAY FROM STARDOM ON HER TERMS: AUTHORGethers also claimed that Walters "didnt have the strongest moral compass. A lot of the relationships she developed were career moves. And she was a pretty transactional person."Walters once explained a controversial favor Cohn did for her."When my father lost everything, he also had not paid his taxes in New York. And Roy Cohn said, Dont worry about it," Walters was quoted as saying in the documentary. "I will take care of it. I dont know how he did it. I dont know what judges he talked to. I forgot about ethics, and I had been severely criticized by my friends and I can understand because Roy did some terrible things, but this was my father and he saved him."Gethers elaborated, "She didnt see things in that kind of moral light. That stuff was always in the shadows. She could forgive anyone who was really good to her no matter what they did in the other parts of their lives.""You can never know about whats transactional, whats not, but you can wonder," David Sloan, ABC News executive producer, said of Walters.Martin Clancy, a former ABC News producer, said in the documentary, "Barbara watched Diane warily because she was really in the same altitude as Barbara. Other correspondents were not a threat. I think Barbara secretly resented Diane for being younger."Reporter Cynthia McFadden explained that Sawyer had booked Katharine Hepburn "fair and square" for an interview once and Walters put "a lot of pressure" on the actress to do an interview with her instead, but Hepburn wouldnt do it."If I showed up on Mars, she would have a note there in the Barbara Walters stationery just requesting an interview with anybody who might happen to show," Sawyer jokingly said in a clip shared on the documentary.Reporter Connie Chung said she realized "how stupid" she was to accept a job at ABC working with Sawyer and Walters while they were "in this monstrous spat to win stories and I was caught in the middle."McFadden said she spoke with Walters about Sawyer many times, and she was "certainly dogged by Dianes very existence. She often said Diane was the perfect woman. She used the word blonde goddess. This ideal woman. And she, Barbara, couldnt compete with that. She could work harder, she could know more people, but she couldnt compete with that. The blonde goddess."BARBARA WALERS LEFT BEHIND MESSAGES ABOU THEIR SENSE OF ISOLATION AS A CHILD AND WHAT DROVE HER SUCCESSVictor Neufeld, a former ABC executive producer, said Walters would tell him, "Diane is married to Mike Nichols. Im not married to Mike Nichols. I would say, Barbara, you can marry anybody you want.' Her insecurities were really nightmarish."McFadden added, "This has been interpreted, I think, by a lot of people to say that Barbara was not good to other women. And I think that is a canard. Not at all. She couldnt tolerate having Diane Sawyer rise in what she saw as a direct challenge to what she had accomplished. What a sadness. Talk about the death of joy."Walters is quoted in the documentary as saying that she was 23 years old when she first got married and went straight from her parents house to her first home with her husband. "And it was a marriage that never should have been," she said.She also adopted her only child, Jackie, when she was in her 30s during her second marriage."This idea of a working mother seemed like an oxymoron. People didnt think you could take care of a child or take care of a husband and have a full-time job," Katie Couric said of Walters' struggle to balance motherhood and her career. Walters explained once that she only took two days off after she adopted her daughter.Walters once said she was disappointed when her second marriage ended because, at that time, their daughter was 4. "I dont think I was very good at marriage. It may be that my career was just too important. It may have been that I was a difficult person to be married to, and I wasnt willing perhaps to give that much. But through it all there was this career I felt I needed to have, and I loved it."She added, "When I was in my 20s and 30s, when I should have been dating, I was working day and night. I didnt have those kinds of years. I didnt have those years until I was in my 30s and 40s. Mine was a very delayed romantic period."Walters said in an interview she didnt realize how much Jackie struggled with having a mother who was a celebrity, revealing that she ran away when she was 16."She had a charged, complex relationship with her daughter," Oprah Winfrey said. "I remember her telling me once its really fulfilling having children, and you should really think about it, and I was like OK, but Im looking at you, so no," Winfrey said, adding that she knew she could only do one thing well and being a mother and a career woman are both sacrifices.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERMcFadden said Walters told her "many times that shed made mistakes as a mother, shed made choices for herself, for her work.""The View" co-host Joy Behar said she didnt think anything was ever enough for Walters."But that was her secret to keep getting better and striving all the time. I think that her personal life suffered because of that."Walters was quoted as saying that young people would come up to her and say they wanted to be her."And I say, You have to take the whole package."She also once said on "The View," "To this day I feel guilty" about not being there for her daughter enough.McFadden, who interviewed Jackie as an adult about her relationship with her mother, said she felt Walters worried their relationship was "shaky" and thought she and her daughter might have "fallen out again."Walters said once, "Look, are there times when I look at people, Ive got a friend, for example, whos got four children and 11 grandchildren, and she says, Look at your life, and I say, Look at your life. I mean, how rich you are. Four children, 11 grandchildren. Thats richness.' But I dont have that. I didnt take that path."Couric added, "I felt like she neglected her personal life and poured so much into her work life that Im not sure she was a truly happy person. And I remember thinking I want to make sure that I have a family, that I dont just have a big job, and I always got the sense that Barbara wished she had paid more attention to that."Gethers said, "I never got the sense from talking to her that there was one love of her life. Her job was the love of her life. I mean, when she would glow, she wouldnt glow talking about the men in her life, she would glow talking about creating The View. She was as driven a person as Ive ever met."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

I can not only do a primetime Barbara Walters special, but I can offer you Nightline, I can offer you Good Morning America, I can offer you And I just had The Oprah Show, so, I didnt like that."Walter said it took her a year to get the interview, which started by getting Lewinskys lawyer on her side.Lewinsky, who was interviewed for the documentary, said Walters made her feel "put at ease quite quickly."Winfrey added, "Because Barbara had been number one, she had been it, she had been the madam, she saw that as her rightful place in the space, and if there was something that deserved a special one-on-one interview, I think she felt that she was the one who was supposed to have it. And 9.9 times out of 10 she got it."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything" will premiere on Hulu on June 23.

Fifty-three years ago, a generation of fearless women paved the way for the rest of us. Leaders like Representative Patsy Mink, the first Asian-American woman elected to Congress, and Bernice Sandler, known as the "Godmother of Title IX," fought to pass a law that guaranteed women the same rights as men to learn, compete, and succeed. Title IX declared that women deserve the full human experience of intellectual challenge and physical development.TRUMP ADMIN RULES UPENN VIOLATED TITLE IX, DEMANDS SCHOOL RETURN HONORS TO FEMALE ATHLETESFor most of history, women were denied the opportunity to grow and compete in sports. In 1966, Bobbi Gibb became the first woman to run the Boston Marathonbut only by hiding in the bushes and running without an official number. A year later, Kathrine Switzer registered under her initials, KV Switzer, and was nearly tackled by a race official trying to stop her from competing. These women, and countless others, laid the foundation for the creation of a separate womens division in 1972.That same year, Title IX became law, opening doors for women to step onto fields and into leadership. These women were equipped to compete and win, both in sports and in life. It helped raise a generation of women who graduated stronger, more resilient, and more prepared to assert their presence and value in the world. Just this year, a record-breaking 235,735 women competed in NCAA sportsa testament to the enduring legacy of Title IX.I am one of them.As a 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer, I credit Title IX for my athletic careerand for shaping who I am. Waking up at 4 a.m. to train for hours every day, racing against the clock and against my limits, learning how to lose, how to lead, and how to rise again. Tthese experiences taught me discipline, humility, confidence, and camaraderie. They gave me a voice. They made me whole.But just as women were reaching new heightsearning scholarships, shattering records, leading teamsTitle IX was hijacked. Under the Obama and Biden administrations, this landmark civil rights law was gutted in the name of "inclusion." Democrats redefined Title IX to accommodate radical gender ideology, allowing men who identify as women to compete in womens sports, access womens locker rooms, and displace the very people Title IX was meant to protect.This is a war on women.It is a deliberate, coordinated effort to tear down the very structure built to elevate us. Just as we were finally reaching parity, our hard-earned protections were rewritten and erased.When I tied with a male swimmer at the NCAA championships, I wasnt just denied a trophyI was denied fairness. I was devalued. And I was told to shut up and take it.That was the moment I realized: this isnt just about me. Its about every girl whose voice, safety, and opportunity are being stolen.Thankfully, change is happening. President Trump has proven to be a champion for women, standing up against gender ideology extremism. Under his leadership, the Department of Justice and the Department of Education have taken bold steps to restore Title IX to its original intent. The biological definition of sex under Title IX has been reinstated. Funding has been frozen for schools that violate the law. A new Title IX Special Investigations Unit has been created to hold institutions accountable, and states like Maine and California have proven they have their work cut out for them.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONTitle IX was written to protect women based on biological sexnot self-identified gender. To lose that foundational truth is to lose the heart of the law itself.And why does that matter? Because growth in sports is about more than medals. Its about pushing ourselves mentally and physically, developing character, working hard, failing with grace, and winning with integrity. Sports are the training ground for life. And if we allow Title IX to be redefined, we risk losing not just championshipsbut the next generation of women leaders.To every female athlete, whether youre just starting or training at the highest level, know this: your voice matters. Speak the truth. Your courage today will protect the girl who comes nextthe one who dares to dream, to train, and to win.On this anniversary, I honor the women who fought for Title IX.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is gelling quite nicely with her new teammates this season, and her pre-game outfit before Sundays matchup against the Las Vegas Aces proves that point.Her shirt, in particular, had quite the cheeky message of just how tight she is with a certain duo.Cunningham, who has recently seen her popularity in the WNBA grow after defending Caitlin Clark on the court against the Connecticut Sun, donned a shirt with herself, Clark and fellow guard Lexie Hull on it with the words "Tres Leches" printed as well.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Tres Leches" translates from Spanish to "Three Milks" as we said, quite the cheeky message from Cunningham.However, in the spirit of athletes showcasing their support and bond with teammates, Cunningham leaves no reason to doubt how much she loves her women in the locker room on and off the court.She was also doing it with her words recently, as she spoke in fiery fashion to reporters about having to physically defend Clark this past Tuesday against Sun players. She called out the WNBA and its referees for "not protecting" Clark.SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM CALLS OUT WNBA REFS FOR NOT PROTECTING CAITLIN CLARK AFTER STARTING FIGHT TO PROTECT HERShe got into a physical altercation with Jacy Sheldon after the latter poked Clark in the eye, which quickly led to a skirmish when Marina Mabrey shoved the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year onto the hardwood.Cunningham, Sheldon and Sun guard Lindsay Allen were ejected from the game with about 40 seconds left after Cunningham fouled Sheldon hard underneath the basket on a fast break."During that, it was just part of the game," Cunningham told reporters. "I think the refs had a lot to do with that. It was a build-up for a couple years now of them just not protecting the star player of the WNBA. At the end of the day, I'm going to protect my teammates. That's what I do."Last season, while Clark was breaking rookie and league records, there was a lot of debate about whether the league was protecting her on the court, as teams got very physical with her to potentially disrupt her game.Since Cunningham joined the Fever this season, she has been vocal even on the sidelines when Clark or any of her teammates are getting roughed up. Additionally, when she has checked into the game, Cunningham is sure to step between anyone who is messing with her teammates, as evident during the incidents with Clark.As a result of being a good teammate to one of the leagues faces, Cunninghams popularity has skyrocketed, and that shows in her social media following. She had fewer than 400,000 followers on TikTok prior to last Tuesdays game against the Sun. She now has 1.3 million and counting on that platform.On Instagram, the number was more than 300,000, and it now stands at more than 839,000.If Cunningham was not already showing herself as the Fevers "enforcer" enough, she has the credentials to back it up, as she is a black belt in Taekwondo.Cunningham and the Fever, though, want to win games as well as make a physical statement when needed. They have dropped back-to-back games now after losing to the Aces on Sunday, when she had nine points, six rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former Democratic Party advisor Dan Turrentine said the "unhinged calls for impeachment" in the wake of President Donald Trumps attack on Iran was "truly [Trump Derangement Syndrome]" on display on Sunday.The White House launched "Operation: Midnight Hammer" on Saturday and struck three of Irans key nuclear facilities. Many Democrats were quick to call the strike "unconstitutional" and suggested that Trump could be impeached over his decision to attack Iran without congressional authority.Turrentine, who worked under Hillary Clinton when she was a New York senator and former Colorado Gov. Jared Polis when he was in the House of Representatives, wrote on X that Democrats need to back away from talks of impeachment."It was too depressing to write this last night, after we got off air, so I went to bed. But, it needs to be said by more Democrats: this was not an impeachable offense, and Trump did not need congressional approval for one precision attack under the circumstances, just as Obama did not when striking Bin Laden," Turrentine wrote.JONATHAN TURLEY: DEMS SUDDENLY OUTRAGED OVER PRESIDENTIAL WAR POWERSHe added, "Why cant our Party just say its great we achieved the objective and destroyed Irans nuclear sites, god bless the soldiers who carried this out and made it home safely, god bless our country, military, allies, and we look forward to a full intel briefing?"He argued that Congress can instead "express concern" over what might come next and assert its authority by insisting any additional steps will require congressional approval. Beyond that, he suggested impeachment calls would be a betrayal of one of the partys principles."But, for so many in my Party to knee jerk with unhinged calls for impeachment - and sadly omit in their statement support for Iran not having nuclear weapons, which has been a principle of our Party for 40 years -is truly TDS," Turrentine wrote.TRUMP'S DECISION TO STRIKE IRAN'S NUCLEAR SITES A 'BOLD, AND GOOD MOVE,' RETIRED GENERAL TELLS MSNBCHe also criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for only putting a statement out to the media while several members of his party were already speaking.Fox News Digital reached out to the Democratic National Committee for comment.In his statement, Schumer called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to enforce the War Powers Act, writing "[n]o president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy."Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was one of the more high-profile Democratic voices who openly called for impeachment."The Presidents disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers," Ocasio-Cortez said on Saturday. "He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

All eyes will be on the United States Senate this week as we endeavor to pass the shared Republican agenda of American strength, security, and prosperity.With the Republican reconciliation bill, we have the opportunity to deliver. It is one that doesnt come around often, and our country stands to benefit greatly by Republicans seizing this moment and getting this bill across the finish line.SCOOP: HOUSE GOP CIRCLES WAGONS ON TRUMP TAX-AND-SPEND BILL AS SENATE SEEKS CHANGESIn large part, this bill is the culmination of President Trumps campaign promises and the promises that Republican senators have made to our voters. Chief among them is keeping the American people safe through strong border security and a military strong enough to deter threats and conflicts around the world before they begin.President Trump has achieved remarkable success in ending the Biden border crisis and removing the criminal illegal aliens that President Biden let walk into our country but it hasnt been cheap, and the administration has told us that resources are running out. This bill will fully fund the border wall and President Trumps successful policies for the entirety of his presidency, removing any possibility that Democrats will hold those resources hostage to try to increase other government spending.This same principle also applies to defense funding. Recent conflicts around the world should make clear the need to have a modern and lethal fighting force that can keep the American people safe. This means smart, generational investments like President Trumps Golden Dome for America to defend against advanced drones, missiles, and hypersonics, as well as prioritizing building new ships and unmanned vehicles.A nation cannot prosper unless it is secure, and with our borders and defense capabilities bolstered, the next key pillar of this bill is creating prosperity in America.We do this through permanently extending President Trumps signature achievement in his first term, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). The American people are facing a hefty $4 trillion tax increase at the end of the year, the largest in American history. If we fail to act, the average family of four making the median income in the United States will face a $1,700 tax increase. Not only does this bill prevent that tax increase, it makes the TCJAs low rates permanent meaning Democrats can never again try to use a pending expiration as leverage for advancing wasteful government spending.The bill locks in the TCJAs small business provisions for all time, which is crucial for economic growth, and it also delivers on President Trumps tax promises: No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, relief from Social Security taxes for seniors, and no tax on interest for vehicles made in the United States.In the wake of the Biden administration and Democrats exploding the growth of government spending on programs like Medicaid, we will make commonsense reforms to return to a fiscally sustainable path. That means kicking illegal immigrants off of health programs and introducing work requirements that even 50% of Democrats agree with all to ensure that programs like Medicaid are strengthened and able to deliver for the American citizens the programs were designed to benefit.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONSenators have worked to develop this bill for well over a year now. Now it is time to act. Border resources are drying up. National security needs have never been more apparent. And with each passing day, we move closer to reaching both our nations debt limit and the largest-ever tax increase on the American people.Senators return to Washington today and we will remain here until this bill is passed. We know that Democrats will fearmonger and misrepresent our efforts, and we expect them to drag this debate long into the night with unrelated issues. However, I am confident we will get this bill across the finish line.On the Fourth of July, Americans celebrate our freedoms and the work of previous generations to keep this great American experiment going. By placing this historic bill on the presidents desk by the Fourth of July, Republicans will be ensuring that future generations of Americans can live in safety and prosperity.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM SEN.
