    House conservatives go to war with Senate over Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'
    The Houses conservative fiscal hawks are warning that President Donald Trumps "one big, beautiful bill" could run into serious problems after the Senate made key changes to the legislation."Theres real problems with it," Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. "Were on board with the president but were concerned about the changes."He and other members of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus are particularly incensed by the Senates decision to defer the expiration of certain green energy tax credits from the former Biden administrations Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which those conservatives have dubbed "the Green New Scam."Theyre also wary of additional dollars being spent on raising the debt limit, which Trump has directed GOP lawmakers to do before the U.S. runs out of cash to pay its obligations sometime this summer.TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' CRACKS DOWN ON BIDEN'S STUDENT LOAN 'SCHEME,' TOP REPUBLICAN SAYSThe Senates version of the bill increases the U.S. debt limit by $5 trillion, whereas the earlier House version hiked it by $4 trillion.Congressional Republicans are working to pass Trumps agenda on tax, immigration, defense, and energy in one massive bill via the budget reconciliation process.By lowering the Senates threshold for passage from 60 votes to 51, reconciliation allows the party in power to pass sweeping legislation while sidelining the minority in this case, Democrats provided the measures included fall within a strict set of budgetary rules.The House passed its own version of the bill late last month by just one vote. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has pleaded with his Senate counterparts to change as little as possible, citing his razor-thin majority.But Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is also grappling with a small majority of Republicans and his chambers product has made several key updates to please the GOP conference there."The changes that were hearing about are not good. And Mike Johnson told the Senate, Dont send us back a revised bill, a significantly revised bill, because we passed it with a one-vote margin in the House," Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital.House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., told Fox News Digital he would vote against the bill if the Senates product was returned in its current form though he did not discuss the parliamentarians further changes.Harris voted "present" on the bill when it passed the House in May, telling reporters he had some lingering concerns but would not vote "no," in order to keep Trumps agenda moving."The currently proposed Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill weakens key House priorities it doesnt do enough to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicaid, it backtracks on the Green New Scam elimination included in the House bill, and it greatly increases the deficit taking us even further from a balanced budget," Harris said in a statement."If the Senate tries to jam the House with this version, I wont vote present. Ill vote NO."Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., similarly said in a statement that he would oppose the bill if it came back to the House in its current form. The Missouri Republican voted to advance the bill in May.Freshman House Freedom Caucus member Rep. Mark Harris, R-N.C., who also voted for the House version of the bill, said in a public statement, "In the many moving pieces and rumors of how the Senates One Big Beautiful Bill is shaping up, I get more concerned each day!"148 DEMOCRATS BACK NONCITIZEN VOTING IN DC AS GOP RAISES ALARM ABOUT FOREIGN AGENTSAnd Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, the Freedom Caucus policy chair, wrote on X, "Rumor is Senate plans to jam the House with its weaker, unacceptable OBBB before 7/4. This is not a surprise, but it would be a mistakeI would not vote for it as is."Republican leaders have set a goal of getting a bill to Trumps desk by Fourth of July.The president ordered congressional Republicans to remain in Washington until the legislation is passed in a lengthy Truth Social post on Tuesday."To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you must, dont go home, and GET THE DEAL DONE THIS WEEK," Trump wrote. "Work with the House so they can pick it up, and pass it, IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL ITS DONE."While right-wing conservatives rail against the bill, other moderate Republican factions within the House GOP have demanded changes to the Senate's revisions to the state and local tax (SALT) deduction and Medicaid, specifically tweaks to the provider tax rate, among others.Compounding issues for House Republicans are a slew of cost-saving provisions that have been ruled out by the Senate Parliamentarian during a process called the "Byrd bath," which tests whether an item in the bill comports with reconciliation rules that stipulate policy has to deal directly with budgetary and spending effects.Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., scoffed at the House GOPs threats.REPUBLICANS CHALLENGE 'IRRELEVANT' BUDGET OFFICE AS IT CRITIQUES TRUMP'S 'BEAUTIFUL BILL'"Well do better than what you did, is what I would tell them," he said.Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., told Fox News Digital that a bill of the magnitude that Republicans were trying to pass would be hard to build a complete consensus around. He noted in particular complications around tax negotiations, as Republicans work to extend Trumps 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)."Follow your heart. Take your brain with you," Kennedy said. "Don't impose the largest tax increase in history on the American people. Look, it's undeniable that everybody's not going to be completely happy. I'm not completely happy with where we are, and we're not there yet. We're making progress."When asked his thoughts on conservatives bashing the bill, Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said, "Everybodys got to thump their chest a little bit, gotta stake their ground.""But at the end of the day, if [Roy] votes against making the Trump tax cuts permanent, and against economic growth and against significant and serious reforms to IRA credits, reforms to Medicaid, I just don't know how he lives with his own sort of conscience and votes no," he said.But its not clear if Senate Republicans are unified on the bill themselves. Thune acknowledged there could be defections when he puts the bill on the floor. He can only afford to lose three votes."We've got a lot of very independent-thinking senators who have reasons and things that they'd like to have in this bill that would make it stronger," he said.Speaker Johnson downplayed the differences between the two chambers in his regular press conference on Tuesday."I don't think we can say it's a vastly different product and prejudge it yet. We're still awaiting the final details. We've given space for the Senate to work their separate chamber," Johnson said. "I've been emphasizing from the very beginning this is a one-team approach. The House and Senate Republicans working together in tandem with the White House. There's no daylight between any of us and the ultimate goal and objective."

    FBI launches probes into 3 children's hospitals for alleged genital mutilation of minors
    FIRST ON FOX: The FBI has initiated criminal investigations of three children's hospitals after commitments from Attorney General Pam Bondi that the Trump administration would enforce federal statutes outlawing female genital mutilation to protect children from often irreversible sex-change surgeries.The investigations target providers who work at Boston Childrens Hospital, Childrens Hospital Colorado and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, according to a source familiar with the investigation who spoke to Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity. These hospitals have been among some of the foremost providers of sex change procedures for minors in America over the last several years, according to the source.Just days after taking office, President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing all federal agencies to work toward terminating the ability for children under 18 to receive "irreversible medical interventions" as a treatment for gender dysphoria. Part of that effort included Attorney General Bondi issuing a memorandum several weeks later, directing Justice Department personnel to enforce 18 U.S.C. 116, which is a federal statute that makes female genital mutilation against the law.FBI CALLS FOR PUBLIC TIPS ON CHILDREN HURT IN GENDER-AFFIRMING' SURGERIES"I am putting medical practitioners, hospitals and clinics on notice: In the United States, it is a felony to perform, attempt to perform or conspire to perform female genital mutilation ("FGM") on any person under the age of 18," Bondi's memo said. "That crime carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years per count. I am directing all U.S. Attorneys to investigate all suspected cases of FGM under the banner of so-called gender-affirming care or otherwise and to prosecute all FGM offenses to the fullest extent possible."Bondi also said in the memo that the Justice Department would be launching a new Coalition Against Child Mutilation, which will partner with state attorneys general to build cases against hospitals and practitioners violating federal or state laws banning female genital mutilation. The memo added that the Justice Department's Office of Legislative Affairs is drafting legislation establishing a private right of action for children and parents of children "whose healthy body parts have been damaged by medical professionals through chemical and surgical mutilation" so they can hold hospitals and providers retroactively liable.Amid the Trump administration's focus on banning irreversible transgender medical treatments for minors, numerous hospitals have amended their policies for who can obtain gender transition treatments and surgeries.MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE PUSHES BILL TO PUNISH THOSE WHO PERFORM GENDER TRANSITION MEASURES ON MINORSEarlier this month, Children's Hospital Los Angeles announced it would permanently close its Center for Transyouth Health and Development, effective July 22, 2025. The decision was attributed to "significant operational, legal and financial risks stemming from the shifting policy landscape at both the state and federal levels," according to CBS News.Children's Hospital Los Angeles did not respond to Fox News Digital's repeated requests for comment.Childrens Hospital Colorado initially suspended its transgender medical treatments for patients under 19 in response to the president's executive order directing hospitals to halt irreversible transgender treatments for minors. But after a judge's ruling blocking Trump's order, the hospital announced it would resume providing puberty blockers and hormone-based treatments to minors.In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Children's Hospital Colorado noted that it has "never" provided transgender surgeries for those under 18, adding that, two years ago, the hospital stopped providing these surgeries for patients over 18. Instead, starting in 2023, the hospital decided to begin referring patients to outside providers for such services, according to Colorado Newsline.Boston Children's Hospital continues to operate its Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMS) program, according to publicly available information. While the hospital only provides gender-change surgeries for patients over 18, its GeMS program does offer transgender hormone therapy, puberty blockers and social transitioning for patients under 18. It also provides referrals for gender-transition surgeries to minors as well.In a statement to Fox News Digital, Boston Children's said it had not yet received any notice from the FBI regarding alleged violations of federal law. The FBI said that, as a matter of policy, it "declines to confirm or comment on investigations."

    Bernie Sanders, AOC-backed mayoral candidate planning massive spending increases in NYC
    Pledging a slate of free programs and services during his campaign for New York City mayor, democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani has propelled himself to be among the top candidates, even threatening the highly favored former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.Mamdani's campaign has gained significant traction in the New York City mayoral race. The Democratic primary election is on Tuesday, but results are not expected tonight due to the city's ranked choice voting system complicating the balloting and vote counting.Currently a New York state assemblyman, Mamdani has gained some recognition through endorsements from big-name figures such as Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. However, he has also gained notoriety in his own right due to a platform chock-full of free services that he has promised New York residents.Mamdani has said he will fund his promised services by raising an extra $10 billion in city revenue by raising taxes on corporations and the top 1% wealthiest New Yorkers.DEM MAYORAL CANDIDATE IN MAJOR AMERICAN CITY LINKED TO RABID ANTI-ISRAEL ACTIVISM: REPORTA look through Mamdanis platform, available on his campaign website, lives up to his socialist affiliation and Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez's endorsements.He has promised to immediately freeze rent prices for more than 2 million New Yorkers living in rent-stabilized apartments, implement free public transit, create a network of city-owned grocery stores that are "focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit" and institute free universal childcare for children from ages 6 weeks to 5 years.He has also promised to create a New York City Department of Community Safety that he says will deploy outreach workers in 100 subway stations, expand gun violence prevention programs, and increase funding to "hate violence prevention programs" by 800%.Mamdani has also pledged to champion a law to raise the minimum wage in New York City to $30 an hour by 2030.COLBERT GRILLS DEM SOCIALIST NYC MAYORAL CANDIDATE ZOHRAN MAMDANI ON ISRAEL, ANTISEMITISMAnother major tenet of Mamdanis platform is "Trump-proofing" New York City. His website states that President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement, tariffs and other policies are "tearing at the fabric of New York City."Mamdanis website states that he will strengthen the citys sanctuary city apparatus by kicking ICE out of all city facilities and ending any cooperation with the agency as well as increasing legal support for immigrants and shielding their personal data.His website further states that, as mayor, Mamdani will make New York City an LGBTQ+ sanctuary city and protect "reproductive rights."So, what does the bill look like for all this?According to reporting by Politico this week, Mamdanis campaign estimates that providing universal childcare would cost between $5 and $7 billion, his Department of Community Safety would cost up to $450 million in new spending, and the city-run food stores cost another $60 million.SANDERS ENDORSES SOCIALIST MAMDANI IN MOVE TO BLOCK CUOMO IN NYC MAYORAL RACEMamdani is further proposing tripling the citys $30 billion budget to carry out his housing agenda. Meanwhile, the free buses are projected to cost the MTA roughly $900 million a year in annual revenue.Where will the extra money come from? Mamdanis website says that he plans to raise the corporate tax rate to 11.5%, which he says will bring in an extra $5 billion. He plans to further set a flat 2% tax on those earning above $1 million annually, which he believes will bring in an extra $4 billion a year in taxes. He has also said he will hire more tax auditors, end no-bid contracts and crack down on fine collection from "corrupt landlords" to raise an additional $1 billion.Mamdanis campaign did not respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment.

    Isaiah Likely says Ravens enter 2025 NFL season with renewed focus on fundamentals after tough playoff exit
    For the past few years, the Baltimore Ravens have been one of the best teams in the regular season, but they havent been able to get over that hump and make a Super Bowl run.Led by two-time league MVP Lamar Jackson at quarterback, the Ravens possess a team that has all the capabilities of representing the AFC in the Super Bowl. But putting together that vintage playoff run is much harder than it looks and sometimes its heartbreaking when things just dont go your teams way.The Ravens experienced that last year when Mark Andrews, one of Jacksons most trusted targets, dropped a two-point conversion that would have tied their playoff game against the Buffalo Bills at 27 apiece with 1:33 left in the fourth quarter. Its a catch Andrews usually makes, but he couldnt see it through.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMSo, what is the Ravens mindset heading into the 2025 season? What needs to change to push through to the "Big Game?" Andrews tight end counterpart, Isaiah Likely, spoke to Fox News Digital at this years Tight End University about that very question, and the answer was all about "harping on the fundamentals.""I feel like everybody, when you restart your season and want to get into the postseason, it is really just going back to the principles that got you there. Thats taking every game one step at a time, and remembering why youre there, who you are in those moments.RAVENS' LAMAR JACKSON DEFENDS MARK ANDREWS AFTER PLAYOFF DROP LED TO DEATH THREATS"I feel like we get a little jittery because we want it so bad. Everybody wants to win the Super Bowl so bad. Really just make a standpoint of theyre going to have to play us on our terms, and thats what I feel like is going to be the big mantra right here. Never get away from our game plan. Never get away from our standpoint."Likely pointed to Andrews as one of the main fundamentalists on the team someone who is the epitome of doing the little things in practice and on game day that helps the team win.He may not have gotten it done earlier this year, but Likely is confident that Andrews will be coming back even better to prove he can be trusted again in that situation."Thats big bro. I tell everybody hes All-Pro Mark for a reason," Likely said of Andrews, who is set to enter his eighth season with the Ravens. "Mark makes plays where you look on the sidelines, you're watching on TV like, Damn, thats Mandrews. So I'll never make it seem like its bigger than what it is. Everybody is human. I have had plenty of drops while being in the league."Hes made plenty of plays while being in the league, so I just tell him even after the two-point conversation: Be you. Never forget who you are. Never forget what you did in the league already. One play is never going to define who you are and what you have done to this point."As for Likely, hes entering his fourth year in the NFL, which will be a contract year for him as well. The Coastal Carolina product has improved each year over his three seasons with Baltimore, hauling in six touchdowns and 477 yards in 16 games in his last campaign.Likely is hoping to take more lessons from Tight End University with him back to Baltimore in what will be a crucial season for him personally and as a team."Its just a blessing that the vets around the league, old or new, really come back to show love and appreciation to tight ends playing now," he said of the event put on by tight end stars George Kittle, Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen. "Whether you have a vet on your team or vet in the league, I mean, this is probably the biggest turnout since I have been here with all the tight ends. After games, before games, pre-games, usually tight ends around the league talk a little bit, but this is really where you get to pick the vets brains."Fox News' Connor McGahan contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    LA County official allegedly urged gang members to defend territory from ICE, triggering FBI probe
    FOX EXCLUSIVE: A Los Angeles County official is allegedly being investigated by the FBI after she posted a video to social media calling on gang members to defend their territory from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).Cynthia Gonzalez, the vice mayor of Cudahy in southeast Los Angeles County, allegedly shared a video on social media late last week in which she appeared to encourage 18th Street and Florencia 13 gang members to protect their turf from ICE agents.FEDERAL AGENTS CAPTURE ALIEN ACCUSED OF RAPE, ASSAULT WHILE LA POLITICIANS CONDEMN ICE OPERATIONS"Not for nothing, but I want to know where all the cholos are at in Los Angeles,"Gonzalez said in the video. "18th Street, Florencia Where's the leadership at? Because you guys are all about territory You guys tag everything up claiming hood. And now that your hood's being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there aint a peep out of you."The Cudahy official then seemingly goes on to tell LA gang members they need to organize and help out with local resistance efforts against ICE.FBI WILL INVESTIGATE 'ANY EVIDENCE OF A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY' IN LA RIOTS"Don't be trying to claim no block, no nothing," Gonzalez said. "If you're not showing up right now, trying to help out and organize, I don't want to hear a peep out of you once they're gone."Toward the end of the video, the LA County official even appears to urge the leaders of the LA street gangs to "get your f***ing members in order."Gonzalez reportedly deleted the video shortly after posting it. She was later visited by FBI agents at her home and is now allegedly under federal investigation, according to federal sources.FBI SEARCHING FOR SUSPECT WHO ALLEGEDLY ASSAULTED FEDERAL OFFICER DURING ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELESFollowing the incident, Gonzalez also reportedly went back on social media to say that the FBI came to her home and that she needed a lawyer, sources say.FBI Los Angeles told Fox News they could not confirm or deny an investigation was underway, but said they condemn any call for gang violence.The 18th Street gang has around 30,000 to 50,000 members, with its main source of income being distribution of cocaine and marijuana. Members also commit assault, auto theft, carjacking and robbery, among other crimes. Florencia 13 is a street gang based out of southern Los Angeles.

    Blinken shreds Trumps Iran strikes, though he hopes they inflicted maximum damage
    Former Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned President Donald Trumps strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on Tuesday, though he held out some hope theyd have their intended effect."The strike on three of Irans nuclear facilities by the United States was unwise and unnecessary. Now that its done, I very much hope it succeeded," he wrote in a New York Times guest essay.U.S. military B-2 stealth bomber aircraft dropped 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs on three nuclear facilities on Saturday in an attack Trump called "a spectacular military success."PROMINENT TRUMP CRITICS LAUD PRESIDENT'S DECISION TO STRIKE IRAN NUCLEAR SITESThe president announced on Truth Social on Monday that both Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire following the U.S. strikes, although a frustrated Trump lashed out at both countries on Tuesday morning for continued hostilities. The administration has since pushed back against media reports that the attacks did not obliterate Iran's nuclear capabilities but instead were only a temporary setback.Blinken not only trashed Trumps strikes on Iran but criticized the presidents entire strategy in dealing with the country, which started with him tearing up former President Barack Obamas Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and culminated in Saturdays strikes."In 2018, President Trump tore up the agreement and replaced it with nothing. In response, Iran accelerated its enrichment, quite likely reducing its breakout time to a matter of days or weeks. Mr. Trump, in essence, is now trying to put out a fire on which he poured gasoline," Blinken said.Blinken also argued Trump jumped the gun when there was still time for diplomacy with the Iranian regime.TOP DEMOCRATS, MEDIA DECLARE US AT WAR AFTER IRAN STRIKES AS WHITE HOUSE PUSHES BACK ON NARRATIVE"As of now and there are conflicting messages coming from within the Trump administration our intelligence agencies believe Iran has not yet made a decision to weaponize. If and when it does, it would take Tehran 18 to 24 months to produce an explosive device, according to some estimates," he said. "In other words, there was still time for diplomacy to work, and the situation wasnt nearly the emergency that Mr. Trump portrayed it to be."He added, "Experts Ive spoken to had real doubts about the ability of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or M.O.P. the 30,000-pound bombs unique to Americas arsenal that were dropped on Irans nuclear sites to fully incapacitate the Fordo site and other deeply buried or fortified components of Irans nuclear program."Trump ripped media critics on Tuesday that he accused of casting doubt on the effectiveness of his strikes. Singling out CNN, he said, "But when I see CNN, all night long, they're trying to say, Well, maybe it wasn't really as demolished as we thought.' It was demolished. You take a look at the pinpricks, and you see that place is gone. And I will say, I think CNN ought to apologize to the pilots of the B-2s."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREBlinken did admit he hoped Trumps attack was successful."I wish that he had played out the diplomatic hand we left him," Blinken wrote. "Now that the military die has been cast, I can only hope that we inflicted maximum damage damage that gives the president the leverage he needs to finally deliver the deal he has so far failed to achieve."The White House did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

    Vikings tight end raves about JJ McCarthy, says quarterback 'has that switch' and 'insane' arm
    The biggest question heading into training camp for the Minnesota Vikings revolves around quarterback J.J. McCarthy, the team's first-round pick who didn't get to touch the field during the regular season last year due to a torn meniscus.Head coach Kevin O'Connell and the rest of the organization have been adamant that McCarthy, the Michigan Wolverines product, is their guy moving forward despite other options being on the table.The team's words were backed by not signing a true veteran competitor that could overshadow McCarthy heading into the season, nor drafting a quarterback.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAfter completing mandatory minicamp, McCarthy has been impressing his teammates with what he can do on the field. He was in meeting rooms and on the sidelines all last season, but now he's the guy tight end T.J. Hockenson is already excited for everyone to see what he can do."That's my dog," Hockenson told Fox News Digital of McCarthy while attending the fifth annual Tight End University (TEU), the three-day summit run by NFL stars Travis Kelce, George Kittle and Greg Olsen. "He is one of the best people I have been around. Just a young guy that's hungry and wants to learn, he wants to get better. I mean, hes making a trip down here soon, and so he wants to be great in this league and I respect that and he is willing to do the things and the hard things it takes to be great."BEARS' CALEB WILLIAMS REJECTS DEVELOPING FRIENDSHIPS WITH NFL COUNTERPARTS: 'WANT A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE'Hockenson truly believes McCarthy has a bright future in front of him, and he said he wants to be there "every step of the way to help him navigate and help him become who he can be" on and off the field.But McCarthy is a year removed from competitive football, begging the question of what will the Vikings get exactly from the quarterback position.Last season, O'Connell found all of Sam Darnold's strengths, as the ex-New York Jets third overall pick had a career season in Minnesota. Perhaps that's exactly what the Vikings are hoping happens with McCarthy as well.Hockenson does believe he possesses what's needed to be great, though."Hes got that switch. He turns that on when he gets on the field," he explained. "You dont really notice that when you're just hanging out and talking with him, but he really wants it. He really wants everything to be perfect, and hes a perfectionist for sure, which is awesome. That is how you need to be as a quarterback in this league."Hockenson also said McCarthy's "arm talent is insane," which was a knock by some evaluators coming out of college."You know, [the ball] zips on you and he can spin it. It's been a lot of fun to see him in OTAs, and [I] can't wait to get out there with him in camp and throughout the season."In the meantime, Hockenson returned to TEU to continue strengthening his bond with his fellow tight ends across the league. It's easy for Hockenson, who lives just 15 minutes away in the offseason, so he makes it a point to come here, get work in, and learn among his peers who also want to get better."Coming here and having all the guys, it's good to be around Travis, be around George. I mean, I'm around [Kittle] every day, we're around each other every day. To see some of the guys off the field, and really make the connection, really meet them outside of football it's a lot of fun. So that's what I try to get out of it every year, learning some things on the field, some tidbits, helping guys each year, and then being able to make those connections and build relationships off the field with those guys."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
