President Donald Trump, fresh off announcing a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, is off to The Hague, Netherlands for the yearly summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a conference where he's hoping to drum up another foreign policy win by pushing European leaders to increase defense spending.The president is expected to land in the Netherlands on Tuesday and return to the White House on Wednesday.Its Trumps first NATO summit since becoming president for a second term. In the past, hes railed against NATO members for "freeloading" off U.S. military protection. This time, European allies are eager to prove him wrong.NATO reached an agreement for all nations to boost their defense spending to five percent of their gross domestic product, except Spain.Trump initially made the demand, which is expected to be finalized at the summit."This summit is really about NATOs credibility, and we are urging all of our Allies to step up to the plate and pay their fair share for transatlantic security," U.S. NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker said.Spain complicated the consensus when Prime MinisterPedro Snchez demanded an exemption from the new spending target which would be a sharp increase from the 2 percent target Spain has had trouble meeting.TRUMP'S WEEK AHEAD WILL INCLUDE A TRIP TO THE HAGUE TO MEET WITH NATO LEADERS AS IRAN CRISIS GROWS LARGER"We fully respect the legitimate desire of other countries to increase their defence investment, but we are not going to do it," Sanchez said.Trump is expected to meet with Rutte and other world leaders and hold a press conference. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is also expected to attend, continuing his push for Ukraine's admission into the alliance and its collective defense pact.NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte boasted that allies were "stepping up toequal sharing of responsibility for our sharedsecurity."Trump has said he does not think the U.S. needs to hit the 5% target."I dont think we should, but I think they should," he told reporters last week.WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE UPCOMING NATO SUMMIT: TRUMP, SPENDING, UKRAINE, IRANThe President's time at the summit will be brief, spending approximately 24 hours on the ground. His meetings "will focus on issues of shared concern and reaffirm the United States strong ties with our allies and partners," according to an administration official.But they come after Trump can boast of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran."It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!), for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.Rutte has suggested NATO would stand behind the U.S. after Iran launched a counterstrike on its air base in Qatar, following American attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites."My biggest fear would be for Iran to own and be able to use a nuclear weapon," Rutte told reporters ahead of the summit.He defended the U.S. strikes on Iran after being asked about parallels between the U.S. and Russia when it invaded Ukraine in 2022."This is a consistent position of NATO: Iran should not have its hands on a nuclear weapon," he said. "I would not agree that this is against international law what the U.S. did."Rutte had wanted the summit to be a show of NATO unity to Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. But conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran makes the conference less predictable.The Iraq War in 2003 deeply divided NATO: France and Germany were opposed to the invasion while Britain and Spain joined the coalition forces.

The company has set the base price for the Forerunner K2 at around $30,000, positioning it as an accessible option for manufacturers seeking to boost productivity and efficiency with intelligent robotics.The introduction of advanced humanoid robots like Kepler's K2 naturally raises questions about the future of human employment in manufacturing and other industries. It's true that automation and robotics have the potential to change the way work is organized on the factory floor. Some worry that robots could replace jobs traditionally held by people, especially in roles that involve repetitive or physically demanding tasks.However, experts and industry leaders point out that the story is more nuanced. While certain jobs may be automated, new opportunities often emerge alongside technological advancements. For example, the rise of robotics is expected to create roles in robot maintenance, programming, AI training, and oversight, jobs that require different skills but are essential to supporting and managing these new systems. Many analysts believe that robots like the K2 are likely to complement human workers by taking over monotonous or hazardous duties, which allows people to focus on more complex, creative, or supervisory tasks.Collaborative robots, or "cobots," are specifically designed to work alongside humans, enhancing productivity and safety rather than simply replacing labor. This collaborative approach can lead to new forms of teamwork and innovation on the factory floor, making work environments safer and more efficient. Ultimately, the integration of humanoid robots is expected to shift the workforce rather than eliminate it, opening up new possibilities for both businesses and employees as they adapt to a more automated future.SUBSCRIBE TO KURTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR QUICK VIDEO TIPS ON HOW TO WORK ALL OF YOUR TECH DEVICESKepler's K2 humanoid robot making its debut at SAIC-GM is a big step forward for robotics in real-world workplaces.

In the wake of the attempted mass shooting at the CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan on Sunday, one security expert offered a unique tip that could stop churches from becoming targets.Ken Alexandrow spent 26 years as a police officer with the Metro Nashville Police Department, many of them as a training officer in confrontation management. He was also a member of the FBI joint terrorism task force for several years.After retiring, Alexandrow founded AGAPE Tactical, a company that provides security training to churches, schools, businesses and individuals.ARMED GUNMAN SHOT DEAD AFTER OPENING FIRE AT SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICEAlexandrow told Fox News Digital that churches can implement a simple tactic right away to harden themselves against would-be bad actors."If you did nothing else but create a first impressions ministry, or a parking lot ministry, have people greeting and welcoming your visitors and guests and looking for an anomaly, you win," he said. "You've already started." MICHIGAN POLICE ID SLAIN CHURCH SHOOTER, REVEAL HIS CONNECTION TO CONGREGATIONAlexandrow teaches a "deter, detect and deny" method, and says the key to protecting a church from violence begins with simple observation."Deterrence is the psychological defeat before they even try," he said. "I've mentioned many times about having people in the parking lot. Everyone has seen both men and women that by looking at that person, you say, oh, I dont want to try that person, they'd be too much of a fight.' You've just won. You've psychologically defeated them before they even attempted, and that's a victory. That's deterrence. Avoiding bad."Detection, Alexandrow said, relates to security cameras and human surveillance."Do I have cameras? Do I have a camera operator? Are my people trained observers? Do they understand what to look for? That's the detection part."Denying has two meanings, according to Alexandrow. First, it means not denying that bad things could happen, then understanding what lengths church leaders are willing to go to deny bad actors from wreaking havoc.Not all churchgoers have to be armed to help secure their place of worship, but rather, they just need "the heart to serve," he said, and they can do that through a specific church ministry meant to protect their church."When I started training these churches and saying, lets start a safety ministry, which includes the parking lot, which includes medical, which includes an armed responder,' now men and woman say, wait a minute, you mean theres a place where I can serve, where I can get trained, the church pays for it, it makes me a better man, woman, husband, wife and citizen, [and] makes me safer at home and at church?'" Alexandrow said.Training is also key."When you're setting up these ministries, and you're setting up your deterrence and your denial and your detection strategies, just remember: it's great to have volunteers, but you have to equip them with the tools to do the job, or else you're putting them in danger," Alexandrow said.The bottom line is trusting your gut."Listen to your intuition," he said. "If there's a reason you paid attention to it and a reason you noted it, guess what? That's an anomaly. And if you're not comfortable investigating it further, make sure you tell somebody who is, and you can't just let it go."Alexandrow praised the vigilance of the members of CrossPointe Community Church, who killed 31-year-old gunman Brian Anthony Browning before he could enter the place of worship.Police said church security guards neutralized Browning after he arrived on church property, driving erratically, and then opened fire."Several staff members from the church approached the gunman. A parishioner struck the gunman with his vehicle as the gunman shot the vehicle repeatedly," Wayne Police Chief Ryan Strong said."The church security team was alerted by the [gunfire] and reacted quickly to engage the suspect outside the main entrance doors of the church. The security team locked the front doors and exchanged [gunfire] with the suspect, who was shot and killed by a member of the security team."Fox News' Audrey Conklin contributed to this report.

EXCLUSIVE - Indiana will freeze tuition across the state in order to help make higher education affordable to college students.Governor Mike Braun, R., announced in a press release exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital that Indianas public colleges and universities have committed to maintaining a flat tuition fee for in-stateundergraduate students for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 academic years."According to state records, this is the first time since at least 2010 that more than two campuses have simultaneously held tuition flat. Over the next two years, the Boards of Trustees at the following campuses have announced their commitment to holding tuition and fees flat for in-state undergraduate students," the press release states.TRUMP ADMIN PAUSES $1B FROM CORNELL, $790M FROM NORTHWESTERN AMID CIVIL RIGHTS INVESTIGATION: REPORTThe Indiana Commission for Higher Education voted to freeze tuition increases for the next two years to fulfill Braun's request. This policy was the first time in Indianas history that the Commission unanimously voted in support of Brauns recommendation to hold tuition and mandatory fees flat."Keeping tuition flat keeps the door open for students of all backgrounds, all ZIP codes, and all walks of life," Samantha Fleischaker, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education's student member, said. "It sends the message that education is not just for one demographic - its for all people. Its not just a number. Its the difference between opportunity and what feels impossible."CAMPUS ACTIVISTS PUSH FOR ANTI-TRUMP 'MUTUAL DEFENSE COMPACT' OF MAJOR UNIVERSITIES"A month ago, we challenged our states public higher education institutions to find efficiencies, eliminate redundancies and identify ways to streamline services without compromising quality," Braun said. "The commitment made by all of Indiana's public colleges and universities puts students and parents first and demonstrates to the rest of the country that Indiana is a leader in providing a high-quality education at an affordable price."College tuition has increased tremendously over the years and forced students into debt. During the fourth quarter of 2023, student loan balances stood at $1.6trillion, according to data from the New York Federal Reserve.

He's not on the ballot, but President Donald Trump is front-and-center in the city where he was born and made his fame, as heavily blue New York City holds its Democratic Party primary for mayor.And in the nation's most populous city, where Democrats for generations have dominated the political landscape, Trump has been the boogeyman on the mayoral campaign trail."LAs in chaos. Imagine its Times Square. Trumps coming for New York. Who do you think can stop him?" said the narrator in an ad earlier this month by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination."Trumps at the city gates," the narrator in Cuomo's ad warned. "We need someone experienced to slam them shut."NEW YORK CITY ON HIGH ALERT AHEAD OF DEMOCRATIC MAYORAL PRIMARY AFTER U.S. STRIKES IRANCuomo was spotlighting the recent protests in Los Angeles, sparked by immigration raids carried out by ICE at the Trump administration's direction, to raise warnings about Trump and showcase his own experience.The former three-term governor of New York, who resigned from office in 2021 amid multiple scandals and is now working to pull off a political comeback, was arguing that the president had "declared war" on the Big Apple and other cities across the country and suggested Trump may eventually send troops into New York City.Cuomo, who said recently that, as mayor, he'd mount a national campaign to try and thwart Trump's agenda, vows to protect New York City from what he suggests is a possible future federal crackdown against immigration protests.And on the eve of the primary, Cuomo told a large crowd of supporters at a union hall that Democrats need to "stand strong, stand united, stand tall" against Trump.THIS FORMER PRESIDENT BACKS ANDREW CUOMO IN NEW YORK CITY'S DEMOCRATIC MAYORAL PRIMARYIt's not just Cuomo.Most of the other candidates in the 11-candidate Democratic mayoral field have also taken aim at Trump and showcased the steps they'd take to push back against the president. And Trump was a top topic at the final primary debate earlier this month.And that was before Trump further dominated headlines this past weekend by launching military strikes against Iran.'GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA' PHRASE STIRS TENSIONS ON NYC CAMPAIGN TRAIL AS MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT RAGESWhile national and at times even international events and figures often impact the campaign trail in New York City, Marist University Institute for Public Opinion director Lee M. Miringoff noted that "the fact that Trump is so front-and-center is so unusual."Cuomo's commercial, part of what his campaign said was major ad buy, came as progressive Zohran Mamdani was surging in the latest public opinion polls, closing the gap with the more moderate former governor.Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assembly member from Queens, is a democratic socialist originally from Uganda. His primary bid was boosted earlier this month after he landed an endorsement from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive rock star and New York City's most prominent leader on the left, and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the progressive champion and two-time Democratic presidential nominee runner-up.With multiple candidates on the left running in the primary, the endorsements by Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders aimed to consolidate the support of progressive voters behind Mamdani.AOC BACKS RISING PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE IN NYC DEM PRIMARY IN PUSH TO DEFEAT FRONTRUNNER CUOMOThe 67-year-old Cuomo, for weeks, has been questioning Mamdani's experience leading New York City.Cuomo's campaign has criticized Mamdani as a "dangerously inexperienced legislator" while touting that the former governor "managed a state and managed crises, from COVID to Trump."Mamdani is also spotlighting the president, as he aims to tie Cuomo to Trump by pointing out that many of the former governor's donors had backed Trump in last year's presidential election."Oligarchy is on the ballot. Andrew Cuomo is the candidate of a billionaire class that is suffocating our democracy and forcing the working class out of our city," Mamdanis campaign argued in an email to supporters.Trump and his administration were also in the New York City mayoral campaign spotlight last week when New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is in a distant third place in the most recent polls, was arrested in Manhattan by Department of Homeland Security agents.Lander was detained for allegedly assaulting a federal officer as he tried to escort a defendant out of an immigration court.Temperatures are forecast to reach 100 degrees in New York on Tuesday as the city holds its primary. The dangerously high temperatures may keep some older voters from heading to the polls. Because of that possibility, the heatwave could affect turnout in a race that may come down to Cuomo's union support and campaign structure versus Mandani's volunteer forces.New York City election officials said that more than 384,000 Democrats cast ballots in early voting, which ended on Sunday.The election is being conducted using a ranked-choice voting system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is dropped, with that candidates votes reallocated to voters next-highest choices. The process is repeated until one candidate cracks 50%. Mamdani is hoping that the ranked-choice process boosts his chances against Cuomo.New York City's primary comes as the Democratic Party works to escape from the political wilderness, following last year's elections, when the party lost control of the White House, the Senate majority and failed to win back control of the House from the GOP.And it comes as the party works to resist Trump's sweeping and controversial second-term agenda.Miringoff said the results of the primary will be seen as a barometer of which way the Democratic Party is headed, towards the center if Cuomo wins and towards the left if Mamdani is victorious."Because its New York and its a very blue city and everything that happens is magnified, I think were going to be hearing a lot about the future of the Democratic Party and which way it should define itself, going towards the midterms," Miringoff said.The center-left Democrat-aligned group the Third Way said in a memo they were "deeply alarmed" over the prospect of a Mamdani victory."A Mamdani win for such a high-profile office would be a devastating blow in the fight to defeat Trumpism," the group argued.The winner of the Democratic Party primary is traditionally seen as the overwhelming frontrunner in the November general election in the Democrat-dominated city.However, this year, the general election campaign may be a bit more unpredictable.Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, a moderate Democrat elected in 2021, is running for re-election as an independent. Adams earlier this year dropped his Democratic primary bid as his approval ratings sank to historic lows.Adams' poll numbers were sinking even before he was indicted last year on five counts, which accused the mayor of bribery and fraud as part of an alleged "long-running" scheme to personally profit from contacts with foreign officials.The mayor made repeated overtures to President Donald Trump, and the Justice Department earlier this year dismissed the corruption charges, so Adams could seemingly work with the Trump administration on its illegal immigration crackdown.

President Donald Trump expressed deep frustration with both Israel and Iran on Tuesday, saying the two countries "don't know what the **** they're doing."Trump made the comments while departing from the White House for a NATO summit Tuesday morning. Both Israel and Iran fired missiles at one another following the imposition of a ceasefire on Monday night."I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either, but I'm really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning," Trump said.He continued, "We basically have two countries that have been fighting for so long and so hard that they don't know what the **** they're doing.""Im gonna see if I can stop it," he added.TRUMP ANNOUNCES HISTORIC IRAN AND ISRAEL CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT TO END '12 DAY WAR'"ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!" Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after boarding Marine One.Minutes later, he announced that Israel was canceling its plans for an attack Tuesday morning."ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly Plane Wave to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he wrote.He then topped it off with a post stating: "IRAN WILL NEVER REBUILD THEIR NUCLEAR FACILITIES!"TRUMP HAILS MONUMENTAL' DAMAGE AS EXPERTS AWAIT VERDICT ON IRANS NUCLEAR PROGRAMTrump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday night, dubbing the conflict a "12-day war."Qatar's prime minister secured Iran's agreement to the U.S.-proposed ceasefire after Iran's limited strikes on America's Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar.TRUMP SAYS ISRAEL AND IRAN 'HAVE TO FIGHT IT OUT' BUT BELIEVES DEAL IS POSSIBLEA senior Israeli official told Fox News on Tuesday that Iran had launched two missiles toward Israel following the announcement of the ceasefire "and we believe they are trying to fire more in the next couple of hours.""Unfortunately, the Iranians have decided to continue to fire toward Israel," the official said to Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst after Trump unveiled the deal Monday."Now we will have to retaliate, this will happen of course," the official added. "It could end within several hours, but they [the Iranians] need to make a decision."Israel has yet to confirm that it has canceled its follow-up attack.

Video footage has surfaced showing Vance Boelter, the suspected Minnesota lawmaker assassin, delivering a speech at a seminar in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 2022."And when I get excited, I wanna dance," Boelter shouted while jumping up and down. "And what Jesus did for me.""He saved my life!" Boelter exclaimed. "WOOO, I'm excited about God! And I wanna worship him!"Video shows Boelter continuing to jump up and down, shouting and praising God as he shared his message.FAKE COP SUSPECTED IN LAWMAKER ASSASSINATION HAD EXTENSIVE SECURITY TRAINING BEFORE 'TARGETED' ATTACK"Cause he's (Jesus) coming again, and he's got plans, he's got purposes for each one of you and for me."The August 2022 clip is from a seminar in which Boelter shared an enthusiastic message with a congregation at the LaBorne Matadi church in the Congo.The seminar was held jointly by the DRC, Minnesota Africans United (MAU) and Global Minnesota.Global Minnesota shared a statement with Fox News Digital stating that they were "shocked and deeply saddened at the heinous violence," but explained that Boelter is not associated with their organization."In August 2022, Global Minnesota had contact with Vance Boelter through a virtual panel discussion.He was referred by a third party and participated from abroad," the statement read. "He was never paid, hired, or contracted by Global Minnesota and has never served in any formal or informal capacity with the organization. Global Minnesota has had no connection or contact with Mr. Boelter since the webinar."The Global Impact Center also shared a statement with Fox News Digital and said their mission is to "engage in community development programs" and acknowledged that Boelter had spoken at a past seminar, but told Fox News Digital he was not affiliated with their organization."To fulfill this mission, we collaborate with church organizations and individual volunteers. It is within this context that Mr. Vance Boelter has, on occasion, appeared in some of our meetings and ministry platforms, as seen in various media," the organization shared in a statement."However, we want to clearly state that Mr. Boelter is neither a member of Global Impact Centers leadership team nor affiliated with any of our local or international church partners," the statement continued. "We want to clarify that Mr. Boelter has never resided in the Democratic Republic of Congo for any period of time equaling or exceeding two months."The organization added that they were "deeply saddened by the recent developments and the serious allegations involving Mr. Boelter.""These allegations run contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and undermine the integrity of the churchs calling and mission," the statement read. "Our hearts are heavy, and we extend our prayers to all the victims and their families. We also lift up Mr. Boelter and his family in prayer during this deeply difficult time."The church also shared a statement, echoing the Global Impact Center, saying that the organization "regularly organizes conferences involving American missionaries," but that "not all individual members are personally known to the church.""It was within this collaborative context that Mr. Vance Luther Boelter was received solely as a participant in a missionary team working alongside Global Impact Center," the statement read.Minnesota Africans United also released a statement confirming that they never hired Boelter to represent their organization."In response to the inquiries we have received, we want to clarify that approximately three years ago, in August 2022, Mr. Vance Boelter participated in a virtual session webinar. His involvement was facilitated by a third-party," the statement read.MINNESOTA SHOOTING SUSPECT VANCE BOELTER TO FACE FEDERAL CHARGES IN LAWMAKER ATTACKS"Mr. Boelter was never hired, paid, or contracted by Minnesota Africans United.

"Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to the families affected by this unimaginable loss. We are keeping Senator Hoffman and his wife in our prayers and wish them a full and swift recovery."Boelter was charged in Hennepin County with four felony counts of second-degree murder with intent (not premeditated).The complaint charges Boelter with two counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Victims 1 and 2 identified as Melissa and Mark Hortman and two counts of attempted second-degree murder for the shootings of Victims 3 and 4 identified as John and Yvette Hoffman.

The Padres great said he is excited to be in the dugout and interact with the nations top high school players."I think thats the biggest opportunity I have. Its one thing to walk around with a PG t-shirt or a polo and then kids try to figure out who you are. But you have a uniform on, you are in the dugout, and you are actually interacting with them. Whether its in batting practice or during the game, its just going to have a different feel," Hoffman told Fox News Digital."When youre out with the kids and getting an opportunity to share your insights and giving them the opportunity to show their stuff, you are just right there. Easy opportunity to encourage and get to know them, so Im really looking forward to the game and being around the kids."GIANTS PITCHER SEAN HJELLE SPEAKS OUT AFTER WIFE'S EXPLOSIVE ABUSE ALLEGATIONSKlesko said if he had not had events like the All-American Classic growing up, he might not have ever made it to the big leagues."If we didnt have the help growing up and have events like this to be able to attend and showcase ourselves, fortunate (growing up) in California, and we had a little bit of that going on, not as much as it is now, but it wasnt for events like this and coaches helping us and getting some instruction, I know never would have made it," Klesko told Fox News Digital.The 16-year MLB veteran said he is "excited" to be part of the journey for the young athletes in this years game."A lot of these guys, like its so overwhelming, and they got so much advice coming in from so many different areas," Klesko said."I think for us, its not necessarily telling them what to do, but just giving them advice kind of on what weve been through in the past and just to help them navigate. It's not about us, its about their next steps and I think were all excited to be part of that journey for these young athletes."DODGER STADIUM ROCKED BY ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS DURING ONGOING LOS ANGELES UNRESTHoffman and Klesko also each have coaching staffs littered with former MLB stars for the game.Their coaching staff is composed of Padres All-Stars Phil Nevin and Mark Loretta, World Series-winning manager Charlie Manuel, 20-game winner Scott Erickson, 1995 AL MVP Mo Vaughn, 7-time All-Star Alfonso Soriano, 3-time All-Star Tom "Flash" Gordon, World Series champion Jose Contreras, and MLB veterans Todd Coffey and Jason Phillips.Hoffman said for the coaches, they jumped at the opportunity to help the next generation of stars through the process."I think it was an opportunity really that they wanted to be around the kids," Hoffman said."Its about the kids, and its about the kids and the game at all levels. So when you get an opportunity to talk to some people that have been through the process, like Ryan (Klesko) said, and to have great people that are mentoring kids in other places, what a great situation you are putting together."RAYS PITCHER HUNTER BIGGE RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL AFTER BEING STRUCK IN FACE BY 105 MPH FOUL BALLDaron Sutton, whose extensive MLB on-air experience has ranged from pregame and postgame host to play-by-play announcer since 1998, has announced the All-American Classic since 2009 and will be announcing it again this year.Sutton told Fox News Digital that while the event has evolved over the years, the event has always had elite talent."Id like to tell you the talent has evolved, but the talents been there from the very beginning. My second game, a 16-year-old Bryce Harper played in it, so there was always talent. Right after that, (Francisco) Lindor and Javy Baez were in the game. There has always been elite talent."Sutton said his favorite part of the game are the "single moments" that occur."All-star games are fun and unique because its all about the individual. There are not strategic decisions being made, there is no intentional walks that are doled out, no pitch outs or anything, thats a different kind of broadcast," Sutton told Fox News Digital."Were all baseball fans, we know what that is, so its the single moment. An opportunity for an athlete to have a moment and then seeing them deliver."ASTROS PITCHER CONFRONTS ANGELS SHORTSTOP AFTER HITTING HIM WITH PITCH, SPARKING BENCH-CLEARING SCENE"Like any great Home Run Derby or All-Star game, its that one unforgettable moment, we have dozens of them."For Brad Clement, Perfect Games executive vice president and general manager, his favorite part of the event is the philanthropic aspect of it."The event itself is incredible, all of the different baseball activities, the swag they get. But almost to a player, the most impactful thing when weve been in San Diego has been seeing those kids that have dealt with or are dealing with pediatric cancer at the hospital because we do that visit. Really, that's what its all about," Clement told Fox News Digital."Were thrilled again to be (donors) of Radys children's hospital, one of the elite hospitals in the world. Their outreach is incredible and this event itself has raised over a million dollars over the years. Now that includes the players and families who are encouraged to raise money through their resources in their communities and almost all do, and our partners. Overall, I know were north of 1.5 million in the total philanthropic give for just this event in the various cities its been in since its inception over 20 plus years ago."Hoffman echoed Clement and said his favorite part of the event is when the athletes go to Rady Childrens Hospital in San Diego.CAL RALEIGH HITS MLB-HIGH 30TH HOME RUN, AS MARINERS LOSE 10-7 TO CUBS"The kids get a chance to go and visit Radys children's hospital, see some of the kids who are younger and maybe a little less fortunate, and they are going through some hardships, and they get to really appreciate what their opportunities are. There is a charitable arm that they get to participate with and allow their hometown communities to support them and make a donation to Radys, which is fantastic," Hoffman said.Perfect Games All-American Classic is not just for the players to showcase their talent, but their families as well. Clement said that Perfect Game hosts a parent symposium to highlight what will be coming for their kids over the next year."We think its important off the field to share with them what the next year is going to be like, so we have a parents' symposium to help them learn what this is going to be like right now and for last year's (class) going into it because the high school season is over, and the draft is upon us. There are a lot of heady things that go into that, whether they go to college or sign a contract, whatever it is. So we try to help the parents out," Clement said.Klesko said he is most looking forward to helping not just kids, but their families through the process."I think just helping them go through the process. I know a lot of kids, a lot of families, its just all new to them. There is so much stuff being thrown at them," Klesko said."If Trevor and I and some of the other major leaguers can sort of help them navigate through the process of going pro, going to school, whether it would be nutrition or training. There are so many different questions out there that are going through these kids minds."Hoffman said its been "special" to see the event grow over the years."(The kids) talents are off the charts, the competition is real, and its just great to provide a platform that they can do those sort of things," Hoffman said.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
