Senate Republicans are calling foul on Senate Democrats' opposition to the GOPs short-term plan to keep the government funded, calling it hypocritical.House Republicans on Tuesday unveiled their seven-week funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), which congressional Republicans argue is as "clean" as can be. That means that the bill largely lacks any additional spending or policy riders.But Senate Democrats have dug in deep on their rejection of the proposal, increasing the likelihood of a government shutdown come Sept. 30. It comes after Democrats previously warned Republicans not to use government funding as a political weapon when Democrats were in charge of the Senate.Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., will ultimately need Democrats to pass a government funding patch.GOP UNVEILS PLAN TO AVERT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, INCLUDES $30M SECURITY HIKE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK KILLINGHe argued that under former President Joe Bidens administration, Senate Democrats overwhelmingly voted for 13 CRs."Ninety-six percent of the Democrats voted for all 13 of those," Thune said. "This is, again, a new practice that's been invented because of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and because these Democrats hate giving this president anything." Senate Republicans are now titling the possibility of a partial government shutdown as a "Schumer Shutdown," given Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus unwillingness to support the GOP-authored bill."Now, all of a sudden, they can't vote for it? It's ridiculous," Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., told Fox News Digital. "That's exactly where they're coming from, and it should be called the Schumer Shutdown."HOUSE REPUBLICANS SPLIT WITH TRUMP TEAM OVER 'VERY FRUSTRATING' FUNDING FIGHT AS SHUTDOWN LOOMSWhen asked why Democrats were entrenched against the Republicans bill, given their previous push for clean stopgaps, Schumer argued that "were in a much different situation" after the GOP passed President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful bill," the $9 billion clawback of foreign aid and public broadcasting funding, and the administrations move to clawback an additional $5 billion in foreign aid.He also ripped Thune and Johnson for not sitting down with him and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., to negotiate a spending deal. Thune countered that his office is right around the corner from Schumers."They even refuse to have bipartisan negotiations," Schumer said. "We've always had bipartisan negotiations on this. [House Speaker Mike] Johnson put his bill in. No Democratic input, and that is why the Republicans are heading for us for a shutdown. We don't want it."Part of the disagreement with the bill also stemmed from Trumps edict that Republicans shouldnt "even bother" with Democrats and that "we have to get Republican votes."Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, told Fox News Digital that all Democrats needed was for Trump "to take back what he said about the process needing to be more partisan rather than less.""If they go it alone, then it's not unreasonable for us to say, We wish you the best, but you won't be getting our votes," Schatz said.Despite the saber-rattling, they havent said precisely what they dislike about the House GOPs offering. They say its not so much about whats in the bill, but rather whats not.TRUMP'S FOREIGN AID CLAWBACK RATTLES SENATE AHEAD OF FUNDING FIGHTThe top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., told Fox News Digital that it was a "lack of language on impoundments and the pocket rescission, things like that that we've been talking about."The other part is that the CR does not contain an extension to Obamacare premium subsidies passed during the COVID-19 pandemic that are set to expire in December.Democrats argue that an extension should be attached to the stopgap because insurance providers are teeing up new insurance rates ahead of the Nov. 1 open enrollment start date for the Affordable Care Act (ACA).Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine, argued that lawmakers could wait until November to move on an extension."You can wait," Collins said. "Because they can keep the eligibility criteria steady for next year and have the revised eligibility."While Schumer and Democrats are expected to give Thune headaches throughout the ordeal, he may have to wrangle some fiscal hawks weary of CRs on his side of the aisle, too.Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., argued that the spending levels set in the House GOPs bill were the same as those set under former President Joe Biden, which Republicans "all decried in the election.""So any Republican who votes for this, I guess maybe they should apologize to Biden for being against his spending levels," Paul said. "Because they're actually voting for his spending levels now."And Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital that he hadnt thoroughly reviewed the text of the bill yet, but he noted he was not typically a fan of funding extensions."The goal was always that we start having a real budgeting process, and so it's really frustrating that we haven't done that," he said.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is heading back to school.Pence, who served as vice president during President Donald Trump's first term in the White House but who later ran against his former boss in the 2024 Republican presidential primaries, is joining George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government as a distinguished professor of practice.The northern Virginia-based school said that Pence will begin teaching undergraduate courses and public-facing seminars starting in next year's spring semester.The school, in a Tuesday announcement, also said that Pence will be available via moderated discussions and mentorship programs with students pursuing degrees in political science, law, public administration and related fields.FORMER VICE PRESIDENT PENCE RECEIVES JFK PROFILE IN COURAGE AWARDSchar School dean Mark Rozell said that the former vice president's "disciplined approach to communication and his deeply rooted conservative philosophy provide a principled framework to discussions of federalism, the separation of powers, and the role of values in public life."And Pence, in a statement, said that "throughout my years of public service, I have seen firsthand the importance of principled leadership and fidelity to the Constitution in shaping the future of our nation. I look forward to sharing these lessons with the next generation of American leaders and learning from the remarkable students and faculty of George Mason University."CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST FOX NEWS REPORTING, ANALYSIS AND OPINION ON MIKE PENCEThe now-66-year-old Pence, a former congressman, was Indiana's governor when Trump named him his running mate in 2016. For four years, Pence served as the loyal vice president to Trump during the president's first term in the White House.However, everything changed on Jan. 6, 2021, as pro-Trump protesters including some chanting "hang Mike Pence" stormed the U.S. Capitol aiming toupend congressional certification of now-former President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, a process overseen by Pence in his constitutional role as vice president.The attack on the Capitol took place soon after Trump spoke to a large rally of supporters near the White House about unproven claims that the 2020 election was "rigged" due to massive "voter fraud."Pence rejected the advice of the Secret Service that he flee the Capitol, and after the rioters were eventually removed from the Capitol, he resumed his constitutional role in overseeing the congressional certification ceremony.The former vice president has repeatedly refuted Trump's claim that he could have overturned the presidential election results. Despite that, Trump loyalists have never forgiven Pence, whom they view as a traitor, for refusing to assist the president's repeated efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.Pence in June 2023 launched a presidential campaign of his own, joining a large field of challengers to Trump gunning for the 2024 GOP nomination, becoming the first running mate in over 80 years to run against their former boss.Pence ran on a traditional conservative platform, framing the future of the Republican Party against what he called the rise of "populism" in the party.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAmong the slim anti-Trump base of the Republican Party, Pence received praise for his courage during the attack on the Capitol, often receiving thanks at town halls during his campaign for standing up to Trump.While Pence regularly campaigned in the crucial early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, his White House bid never took off. Struggling in the polls and with fundraising, he suspended his campaign just four and a half months after declaring his candidacy.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jordan Mailata is finished with the criticism over the tush push as it came under the microscope against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2.NFL fans noted on social media that some Eagles players may have jumped offside before the ball was snapped as they executed the play. Others were concerned with the offense having too many men on the line of scrimmage.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMRegardless, the drum is beating again for owners to ban the play once and for all."I understand the outrage," Mailata said in an interview on 94 WIP in Philadelphia. "What I don't understand is them using it as an excuse to why we won the game. I think it's incredibly disrespectful to our defense and our special teams, who balled out. My brothers on defense and special teams who balled out that game, who had our backs when we weren't moving the ball or weren't doing anything.HALL OF FAMER DAN MARINO BACKS STRUGGLING CHIEFS AFTER STARTING SEASON 0-2: 'THEYRE GOING TO BE OK'"That kind of irks me a little bit.

And say that we won the game off that, but not how our defense played and not how our special teams have played, putting us in those positions. You know, I think it's bullcrap. I just think it's rubbish. Absolute rubbish, man. It makes my blood boil just thinking about it."The tush push survived a vote to end the actions that would have essentially banned the play in the offseason.And while it helped the Eagles on their way to a Super Bowl title during the 2024 season, the crowd of critics against the play is seemingly growing.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Robert Redford was initially attracted to Sibylle Szaggars once he learned she wasn't familiar with him or his movies.The legendary actor was 89 when he died on Sept. 16 at his home in Sundance, Utah, his representative told Fox News Digital. Redford and Szaggars' love story began decades ago in those very mountains in Utah.In 1996, the German-born artist ran into Redford while on a ski trip with friends at his Sundance Mountain Resort, which eventually became the same spot he founded the non-profit Sundance Institute to provide support for independent filmmakers.In 2014, Szaggars shed some light on their first encounter.ROBERT REDFORD DEAD AT 89"I knew of him," Szaggars recalled during a discussion for the National YoungArts Foundation. "I had seen Jeremiah Johnson,' one of my favorite films, and Barefoot in the Park. But I have to also say: Im not a film person, and I hadnt been a film person. I was more interested in musicals, opera and painting and artists and Salvador Dal and Picasso."Szaggars said that Redford invited her and her group of friends out to dinner after a day on the slopes. "Oh my God, I don't know any of his films," she recalled thinking to herself.One of Redford's friends told her that she could rent some of his movies at the reception. She rented several and watched short bursts of the six or eight movies that she rented in the chance that the star would bring any of them up, but he didn't."I thought, What if he wants to talk about his movies? I have no idea that would be so embarrassing. I probably would have mixed everything. Of course, he did not talk about it so I was rescued and saved," she said at the time.Redford was also in attendance for the panel and admitted this is one of Szaggars' qualities that attracted him to her."Thats one of the things that attracted me to hershe didnt know much about me."HOLLYWOOD STARS WE LOST IN 2025"So we started from a more even playing field. I didnt have to worry about any agenda. Id been through that before. And so it was a wonderful beginning of a relationship because it began as two human beings meeting each other and finding a connection as two human beings rather than being colored by success or whatever," Redford said at the time.Prior to his romance with Szaggars, who he married in 2009, Redford was married to Lola Van Wagenen. The pair tied the knot in 1958 and later divorced. Redford and Szaggars did not have any of their own children, but she became stepmom to Redford's children from his marriage to Van Wagenen.Redford and Szaggars kept their relationship private over the past several decades and rarely made any public comments about their romance. Prior to tying the knot in 2009, Redford spoke to the German magazine, Bunte, about their engagement."We are engaged and very happy with that. She is my fiance and that says everything, doesnt it?" he told the magazine in 2008.Sticking to their theme of privacy, Redford and Szaggars kept their wedding very small, only inviting 30 friends and family members. They tied the knot at Louis C. Jacob Hotel in Hamburg, Germany, where Szaggars is from.In 2011, Redford spoke to AARP The Magazine about Szaggars. "She's a very special person. She's younger than I am, and European, which I like, so that's a whole new life," he said at the time.Szaggars was 21 years younger than Redford.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSDuring his illustrious career that spanned five decades of film, Redford became an Oscar-winning director as well as an activist. Szaggars also had an interest in activism.In 2015, Redford and his wife founded The Way of the Rain, "which is organized exclusively for charitable, cultural and educational purposes, including the specific purpose of developing, producing and performing educational and artistic performances themed and designed to promote public awareness and support for the protection of our Earth," according to the non-profit organization's website.Szaggars and Redford were last publicly photographed together at Prince Albert II of Monaco's 2021 award ceremony, which highlights organizations and individuals dedicated to preserving the planet.Redford and Szaggars were both wearing white at the event and posed for photos.Utah Governor Spencer Cox took to Instagram shortly after Redford's death to shed some light on his life in his state."Decades ago, Robert Redford came to Utah and fell in love with this place. He cherished our landscapes and built a legacy that made Utah a home for storytelling and creativity. Through Sundance and his devotion to conservation, he shared Utah with the world."APP USERS CLICK HERE"Today we honor his life, his vision, and his lasting contribution to our state," Cox captioned a photo of Redford on a horse in Utah.Redford's representative shared a statement with Fox News Digital on Sept. 16, confirming his passing.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved. He will be missed greatly.

He capped off the decade with an Oscar win for best director in 1980 for "Ordinary People," which also took home best picture.Fox News Digital's Stephanie Giang-Paunon contributed to this report.

Researchers are sounding the alarm about a rise in "assassination culture" the same thing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk warned of months before a sniper's bullet took his life as he spoke in front of a crowd of students on a Utah college campus last week.The Network Contagion Research Institute and the Rutgers University Social Perception Lab teamed up in a recent intelligence report on the issue, warning that arsons targeting Tesla cars and the idea of "killing billionaires" has become a "meme aesthetic for political violence" especially among the far-left."Political violence targeting Donald Trump and Elon Musk is becoming increasingly normalized," researchers warned, citing the attempt on Trump's life during a campaign rally last year. "Following the July 13, 2024, attempted assassination of President Trump, tolerance and even advocacy for political violence appears to have surged, especially among politically left-leaning segments of the population."JUDGE DROPS TERROR CHARGE AGAINST LUIGI MANGIONE AS POLICE WARN BUSINESS LEADERS OF RISING ASSASSINATION RISKSSeparately, federal prosecutors warned late last month that the accused assassin Luigi Mangione could inspire more political killings."Simply put, the defendant hoped to normalize the use of violence to achieve ideological or political objectives," federal prosecutors wrote in a memo to the court dated Aug. 27.Two weeks later, a sniper shot and killed Turning Point USA founder and conservative speaker Charlie Kirk as he held the mic at an event in the courtyard of Utah Valley University, some 2,200 miles away from where Mangione is accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of New York City.GRADUALLY AND THEN SUDDENLY: REAGAN SPEECHWRITER TALKS POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN AFTERMATH OF KIRKS DEATHAt the Manhattan crime scene, police found bullet casings with words written on them in an apparent reference to a book critical of the health insurance industry. In Orem, Utah, police recovered the suspected murder weapon a Mauser .30-06 with etchings on the bullets loaded inside.The NCRI-Rutgers study found alarming support for assassinations in a survey, identified psychological red flags and warned that online platforms help spread "radical ideation.""The findings underscore the erosion of democratic norms and the growing acceptability of political violence in American discourse, particularly among ideologically extreme communities online," researchers wrote.CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION LATEST CASE OF CONSERVATIVES BEING TARGETED FOR MURDERThe NCRI report was published in April -- months before Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at a Turning Point USA-sponsored event at Utah Valley University in Orem.According to survey data highlighted in the report, more than 30% of respondents said it would be "at least somewhat justified to murder" prominent billionaires. The number rose to 50% for people who self-identified as "left of center."It also looked into another high-profile recent assassination -- the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson late last year.Surveillance video shows a masked gunman approach Thompson, a 50-year-old father of two, from behind outside a Manhattan hotel and fire a silenced handgun repeatedly.Authorities later arrested Mangione, a 26-year-old former Ivy Leaguer from a wealthy Maryland family.CHARLIE KIRK WARNED ASSASSINATION CULTURE IS SPREADING ON THE LEFT IN EERIE ONLINE POST MONTHS BEFORE MURDER"References to Luigi Mangione now function as coded endorsements of political violence, cloaked in irony, memeification, and plausible deniability," the new report reads.Mangione has also attracted fervent supporters online and in person at his court proceedings. On Tuesday, a group of them carrying "jury nullification" and "Free Luigi" signs, many dressed up like Nintendo's Luigi character, cheered aloud after learning that a judge had thrown out terrorism charges against him, which carried a potential punishment of life without parole.In New York state, he now faces a top charge of second-degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of life with the possibility of parole. He is also facing federal charges and another case in Pennsylvania, where police arrested him allegedly in possession of the murder weapon, a silencer and a fake ID.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION: TIMELINE OF UTAH CAMPUS SHOOTING DETAILS ATTACK, MANHUNT FOR SUSPECTAt the scene of Thompson's murder, outside a hotel where he was supposed to attend an investor conference later that morning, police said they found bullet casings with messages written on them that are believed to have been critical of the health insurance industry.Before Utah police captured 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, the suspected assassin behind the shooting of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk last week, police recovered the suspected murder weapon, loaded with rounds with more etchings on their casings including online memes and references to fighting fascism.Robinson is accused of firing a single shot, which struck Kirk in the neck in front of a courtyard packed with UVU students and other spectators. He was arrested 33 hours after the slaying, when authorities said his father persuaded him to turn himself in.Kirk, like Thompson, was also a father of two. He was speaking at Utah Valley University Wednesday at an event sponsored by the campus chapter of Turning Point USA, the conservative youth group he founded.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAuthorities have ramped up security measures in the wake of Kirk's murder. The NYPD reportedly issued a threat assessment warning that business leaders, political figures and other public personalities may be at increased risk for assassination, and the Trump administration asked Congress Monday for nearly $60 million in additional executive and judicial branch security funding.Researchers urged "political and cultural leadership" to condemn the violence. They also called for continued monitoring of the apparent trend.

A disagreement over the price of eggs caused a rift during one family's vacation, according to a viral post.In an August post shared on Reddit, a 27-year-old woman described renting a vacation house with nine relatives, including her 24-year-old sister and her sister's boyfriend.Everyone had signed up to contribute food and household supplies for the trip though there had been issues with the younger sister contributing in the past.HUSBAND REFUSES TO EAT CHICKEN LEFT IN HOT CAR FOR HOURS, SPARKING FOOD SAFETY DEBATE: 'NOT THRILLED'The woman said the family typically goes through about two dozen eggs each week. She's particular about the kind she buys organic and free-range and pays $5 per dozen for her neighbor's eggs."When she doesn't have extra eggs, I buy the organic, free-range eggs from the grocery store (usually $7-$8 in our area)," the woman wrote."Since the area we vacation in is expensive and touristy, I packed two dozen eggs from my neighbor for the week for my family and brought them up in a cooler."Everything seemed fine until nearly a full carton disappeared after just one night.FED-UP WOMAN REFUSES TO BE BREAKFAST CHEF FOR SISTER'S CHILDREN: 'GO ASK YOUR MOM'"I asked around if someone had eaten my eggs, and my sister said she and her boyfriend had wanted omelets, but hadn't bought any eggs, so they used ours since there were so many of them," she said."[T]hey said they did a big workout this morning and needed to get their protein in," the Redditor later added. "My sister also was telling me how good the eggs tasted."When the woman asked if the organic eggs could be replaced, the sister promised she would make a grocery run.INTERNET BLASTS MAN ACCUSED OF STEALING ROOMMATE'S GROCERIES: 'WHAT A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT'"However, she came back from the store tonight with the cheapest store-brand eggs because 'the other ones were super expensive,'" the woman wrote."I told my sister that we don't eat those eggs and that she needed to return them and get the organic ones regardless of price. She got angry at me and said it wasn't a big deal."The woman's sister ended up going back to the store, but was incensed that she had to spend $10 for a dozen eggs."My family is divided on it," the Redditor concluded. "My husband said $10/dozen for eggs is really expensive, and my mom thinks I overreacted. However, my aunt agrees with me that my sister needed to replace what she took."Social media users overwhelmingly took the poster's side, with hundreds of upvotes supporting her stance.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"If she didn't want to spend $10 on eggs, she shouldn't have eaten expensive eggs," a top comment read. "I bet next year she will bring her own."A few others pushed back, suggesting the poster shared some of the blame."I would have [bought] the cheap eggs and if you protested further I'd give you $10 and ignore you for the rest of the trip," a Redditor remarked. "Don't let eggs ruin a vacation.""I buy free-range eggs too, but for the sake of not creating drama during a family vacation, I would have just accepted the eggs without making a fuss," one unpopular comment read.Lisa Gache, CEO and founder of Beverly Hills Manners in California, commended the original poster for handling herself "with grace and patience."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"Her younger sister was completely at fault for taking food without permission, dismissing her older sibling's quality preferences and becoming angry when asked to replace it appropriately," Gache told Fox News Digital."This is a core principle of courtesy and respect. When you consume another person's provisions, you replace them with equal quality, not what you would prefer at a lesser cost."The etiquette expert also said the principle applies beyond food. If you borrow someone's car and that person uses higher-quality gas, Gache said, it's only fair that you return it with premium fuel."The key principle is mutual respect. Those who spend more on health and quality shouldn't shame others who don't and vice versa," she noted."However, when someone helps herself to premium items, then dismisses them as frivolous, it takes family disharmony to a whole new level."Gache's big piece of advice for others in similar situations is this: Stay calm and maintain good communication."Don't make it personal or apologize for upholding your standards," she said."Sometimes people get upset when boundaries are enforced because they're used to others backing down, but gentle persistence usually resolves the tension while preserving the relationship."

OutKick founder Clay Travis and ESPN star Stephen A. Smith capped off the day at the Front Office Sports Tuned In summit on Wednesday with a lively, respectful debate that covered a wide range of topics, including politics in sports, the NBA, the Trump Administration's plans to send the National Guard to US cities and even their respective political aspirations.The debate went on for a little under an hour and started with an acknowledgment from moderator Baker Machado of Front Office Sports about the tragic assassination of activist and media personality Charlie Kirk, a champion of respectful public discourse.That was exactly what was on display during the entire debate between two guys who, while they may not agree on everything, clearly share a mutual respect.That's good stuff, and we need more of it.So, let's take a look at some of the bigger moments from the event.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMObviously, the focus of this debate was politics, sports and then the middle of that Venn diagram. So, it was fitting to start with a question about whether sports are more political or if the media and people like Clay and Smith have made it that way."I think we're making it so, to some degree," Smith said. "That's not to say that there's not politics involved. There's politics involved. There's politics involved in everything, and we understand that."He went on to discuss how athletes in previous generations felt more compelled to speak out because of pressure from their respective communities, an idea that he touched on again later in the debate, even saying that, in a similar respect, it was community pressure that compelled him to get more political after the death of Trayvon Martin.After talking about the importance of civil conversations like this, Travis talked about how sports are a "unique uniter.""I'm old school in some ways in that. I think Michael Jordan was right. I think it depends on what your brand is, but I think sports is a unique uniter," he said. "I just watched, unfortunately, my University of Tennessee Volunteers choke away a win against the Georgia Bulldogs. Great game this weekend, but every time I'm in an arena, every time I'm in a stadium, when you're rooting for the home team, or you're sitting around people that are with you, you don't think about race, you don't think about religion, you don't think about gender identity or whatever the heck it is. You just high-five people. Sports bring us together."After some discussion about the NBA's turn into politics and how that has impacted its popularity, the conversation turned to the surge in black men voting for President Donald Trump, with 21% voting for him during the 2024 Presidential election."I think it's because men see the Democrat party as emasculated," Travis said. "And if you want my big picture view, I think a lot of the struggles that we're seeing in life is absent fathers and men not being allowed to be men. I've got three boys that I'm raising. I hear from them all the time, toxic masculinity. We don't talk about toxic femininity. We don't talk about men trying to be the producers for families, a father, the leader of a household. I think a lot of men are lost, and I think black men feel that too."Smith conceded that he didn't think this was wrong, but joked that it was "far from right." He offered another explanation."Black men are like most men; affordability, economy. You understand?" Smith said. "I mean, yeah, How much money are you gonna put in my pocket? How much in taxes am I going to pay? How can I afford to provide for and protect my family? You want safety in the streets."Speaking of safety in the streets, the discussion also talked about the President's use of the National Guard to curb crime in Washington, DC, and his plan to do the same in Memphis, Tennessee.Travis commended the President for the efforts to clean up the nation's capital."Politicians often pretend black violence and inner city violence doesn't exist," he said. "Trump's actually trying to address it."As for Smith, he questioned the constitutionality of sending in the National Guard outside of Washington, DC, but said that he doesn't care if Trump decides to send troops to Chicago."In the city of Chicago, I don't give a damn what they say," he said. "I have no problem with sending in the National Guard. They were a problem before Obama got into office, when he was a junior senator. There was a problem when he was in office for eight years as the president. They've been a problem now, and I've seen black people come on television, locally and nationally, crying for support, whether it's the National Guard or whatever it takes. In other words, the city of Chicago has had ample opportunity to do something about it, and I do think it's a crisis in that city."Conversely, Smith argued that other cities with known crime issues, like Baltimore and St. Louis, shouldn't get the National Guard treatment. He said this is because there have been statistical signs of improvement as far as crime is concerned.One of the final topics had to do with Stephen A. Smith's long-rumored political aspirations, including a possible 2028 run for president.While Smith indicated that life is good these days, he talked about why he stopped slamming the door shut on questions about him running for office."I have no desire whatsoever to be a politician," he said. "Life is really, really good. And I don't really want to compromise it at all, but I've been asked by various people including my pastor, including people in this business and others to keep an open mind, because you never know what the state of affairs in this country will be in a couple of years. And as a result, they said to me, 'Could you at least stop saying no? Could you at least say I'll leave the door open, even if you are willing to admit you sincerely, 99% doubt that you would ever run for office.' So that's what I did."While he questioned his ability to raise funds, Smith said he had total belief that his ideas could get the job done."But if I didn't have to worry about all of that, and it was just my ideas and my positions against yours, I think I'd win the Democratic nomination," he said, before adding that he'd really love an opportunity to get on a debate stage with politicians.Clay was then asked if he would run against Stephen A. if he entered the race, but first noted that there was one big thing the two agreed on."I think what Steven A gets is we're sick of professional politicians," Clay said, before talking about how he was disappointed to learn that many politicians are not as intelligent and brave as he had thought, but are instead "morons and cowards."So would he run?"If Stephen A runs, I'll run and I'll kick his a--," Clay said.As you might expect, this was one last issue on which the two disagreed."No, he wouldn't," Smith said.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Just hours before he was fatally shot on a college campus in Utah, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk delivered a message to hundreds of restaurant leaders gathered in Salt Lake City last week.Wade Allen, president of Costa Vida, a fast-casual Mexican restaurant chain that started in Utah, was in the room when Kirk spoke at the annual Restaurantology summit, hosted by the Savory Fund, he told Fox News Digital.He recalls Kirk's words not as political, but as deeply personal.FROZEN YOGURT JOINT 'RECEIVING HATE' AND DEATH THREATS FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK TRIBUTE"There was nothing political about the conversation [with Savory Fund co-founder and managing director Andrew K. Smith]," Allen said."In fact, the totality of the conversation was about entrepreneurship the risks that you take being an entrepreneur and the hard work it takes and the dedication and the commitment."Kirk, known nationally for his political activism, may have surprised those in the audience by instead focusing on the entrepreneurial journey.Drawing from his own experiences, Kirk underscored the highs and lows that define life in both politics and business, Allen said.RESTAURANT IN MAJOR CITY FACES FALLOUT OVER 'OFFENSIVE' CHARLIE KIRK POST BY CO-OWNER"But the undercurrent of that whole message for me, and what I took away in a very big way which I think most of the other audience took away was that entrepreneurship is a journey, and there are good days and there are bad days," Allen said."But he quoted something specifically that, in time, this too will pass. And, so, when you're having those bad days, remember that this will pass, and then when you're having really good days and great days and great times, remember that, too, the time will pass as well."Allen described the message as "very powerful" when it was delivered and then "surreal" as the news of Kirk's shooting began to spread after the conference broke for lunch."To say that Charlie was shot, I'm like, 'It's impossible. He just left here,'" Allen recalled. "And then I recognized, 'Wait a second, he left here before we got on stage, which would have been an hour and 15 minutes ago.' And then it all started to come out."The mood among attendees turned quickly as Smith returned to the stage to announce the news.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThen it got "as quiet as a church," Allen said."I do know that a lot of people were just, kind of, almost in disbelief and the remainder of that event was really somber."Kirk's presence at a restaurant industry conference might have seemed unusual at first, but the "connective tissue" quickly became clear."The restaurant industry, in general, is full of a lot of entrepreneurs," Allen said so Kirk's message that it takes hard work and "you have to listen and engage with people" rang familiar."His message resonated so well," Allen said.MORE FROM FOX NEWS LIFESTYLEAllen, who didn't know Kirk, said he's "still grappling" with the senseless loss of life."It was super sad, regardless of beliefs, regardless of political setting, to be so near a life that's gone for a reason that just doesn't make a lot of sense," he said."I think everybody that I rubbed shoulders with [at] that event, regardless of what their political affiliation was, felt the same way. He was here, and now he's gone."
