During the conversation, Fox News contributor Lara Trump emphasized the negative impact the defund the police movement has had on Americans across the country. "Apparently things were so out of control they hired the guards to stop chronic drug dealing, crack smoking, and public defecation right here, in America, in New York City," Trump said. Fellow co-host Sean Duffy noted how neighborhoods are paying for private security to protect their communities. PHILADELPHIA BRACES FOR POSSIBILITY MIGRANT BUSSES FROM TEXAS WILL BE SENT TO CITY "It's the reason so many people have left New York," Trump said. "It's the reason New York and California have lost congressional seats, Florida and Texas have gained congressional seats. … People don't want to live like this. How do you exist when you don't feel safe?" Duffy said that defunding the police is "such bad policy that Democrats are trying to run away from it." "The fact that we have communities buying private security to keep them safe, this is Third World country-esque," he said. "If you are rich, you get security. If you’re part of the Squad you get security. But if you’re an average Joe American, you can’t have security or law enforcement on your streets. It’s outrageous." CALIFORNIA GAS CAR BAN ‘INTERESTING,' EV ADOPTION MUST HAPPEN ‘QUICKLY’ TO BEAT CLIMATE CHANGE SAYS BUTTIGIEG Rep. Cori Bush, a member of the Squad, spent $70,489 on security between January 1 and March 31, bringing her total security expenses to over $300,000. Duffy said the idea of defunding the police is so toxic that Democrats are now trying to blame Republicans for it. "It’s such bad policy that Democrats are trying to run away from it," Duffy said. "They see how bad it is and they're trying to pin it on Republicans, [saying] Donald Trump didn't like law enforcement. Give me a break," said the former Wisconsin congressman. Trump said that Democrats who actually were opposed to defunding the police were not vocal about their position during the BLM riots in 2020. A Fox News poll conducted in April 2021 found that 62 percent of Americans oppose defunding the police. According to that same poll, 54 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of Black voters support defunding the police. | | | | | Cowboys backup quarterbacks: Who fills in for Dak Prescott while star is sidelined? | | Sep 12, 2022 | | The Dallas Cowboys are now without Dak Prescott for several weeks, leaving a glaring hole at the quarterback position for the second time in two seasons. Prescott missed most of the 2020 season with a gruesome ankle injury and was sidelined from training camp last season with a shoulder issue. Now, the Cowboys face several more weeks without their starting quarterback who led them to the playoffs last season. Dallas does not have the best options behind him, but the backups who are presently on the Cowboys’ roster have some experience. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Cooper Rush was QB2 to start the regular season and entered the game for Prescott when the quarterback went down. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Rush was 7-for-13 with 64 passing yards and two sacks. Rush is in his fifth season with the Cowboys after he signed as an undrafted free agent from Central Michigan. He started one game last season and helped the Cowboys to a win over the Minnesota Vikings. Rush was 24-for-40 with 325 passing yards, two touchdown passes and an interception. He had 422 passing yards and three touchdown passes in the five appearances he made. BUCCANEERS' MIKE EVANS MAKES RIDICULOUS ONE-HANDED TOUCHDOWN CATCH AGAINST COWBOYS Will Grier is hanging around the Cowboys’ practice squad and will likely be promoted to the main roster once Prescott goes on the injury reserve. The former third-round pick of the Carolina Panthers joined the Cowboys at the beginning of the year, was cut and re-signed during the summer. His only played time came in 2019 when he played and started in two games, throwing for 228 yards and four interceptions. He does not have a touchdown. A potential trade for Jimmy Garoppolo was a topic of discussion on Twitter. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback was relegated to the backup position behind Trey Lance at the beginning of the season but agreed to a restructured deal that gave him a no-trade clause. He will become a free agent at the end of the season. Trading for Garoppolo would be a risky move as he is a proven starter in the league and the team would not necessarily want to cloud their own starting quarterback position should he do well and take the team far in this hypothetical scenario. It is unclear when Prescott will return, but he will be missed. | | | | | Gavin Newsom signs $25 million Berkeley Journalism fellowship program into state budget | | Sep 12, 2022 | | The UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism announced a $25 million state-funded fellowship program in the budget signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., on Wednesday. The school’s dean Geeta Anand promoted the new program on Friday through her Twitter account. "Big news for journalism in the Golden State: Governor Gavin Newsom just signed a budget bill that includes $25 million to help Berkeley Journalism serve local journalism around the state," Anand tweeted. She added, "So far as we know, it’s the largest infusion of state-level funds into local journalism ever (fact check please!)" JOURNALIST GLENN GREENWALD SCORCHES UNHOLY ALLIANCE OF GOVERNMENT DEMOCRATS, CORPORATE MEDIA AND BIG TECH According to the announcement, the fellowship program will award up to 40 fellows per year a $50,000 annual stipend for at least three years starting in 2023. Chancellor Carol Christ also praised the new program as a step forward to promote Berkeley Journalism’s standing in higher education. "This program will be extraordinarily beneficial for the journalism students we educate and the people of California, who we serve," said Christ. "The greater good is advanced when we can rely on credible, local news coverage that reflects the needs and concerns of all communities. At the same time, providing equitable access to a career in journalism will help ensure our students can thrive professionally, without regard for their origins or identities." Another focus of the program, the statement added, is the emphasis on a "diverse" class of new journalists from "underrepresented communities." Anand continued her Twitter thread, "This is core to Berkeley Journalism’s mission: removing the economic barriers for journalists who have historically been excluded from the industry. It’s why 1/4 of our new class are 1st-gen college students, and nearly 60% are from communities underrepresented in journalism," Anand tweeted. "Problem is that J-School students take on a ton of debt (disproportionately carried by women and students of color) and then go into a profession that’s not exactly known for great pay. TL DR: it’s a great time to be a journalist. It’s a terrible time to get paid for it." Some journalists praised the move by Newsom as an effort to support "local journalism." "Wow!" Washington Post reporter Emma Brown exclaimed. Former Salt Lake Tribune journalist Alison Berg tweeted, "This is so cool! I got to audit a class at the UC Berkeley School of Investigative Journalism the summer I was an intern at the East Bay Times/Mercury News. Learned so much and one of the coolest experiences I've gotten to have. Super cool thing for California." Los Angeles Times reporter Matt Pearce wrote, "Some nice journalism policy news: California’s legislature has funded a new $25 million program at UC Berkeley to fund new journalism jobs in needy newsrooms around the state. This emerges out of the SB 911 bill that @MediaGuildWest supported improving." "Significant in local journalism funding," Tow Center for Digital Journalism director Emily Bell tweeted. ROBERT TELLES ARREST: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC AVOID MENTIONING SUSPECT IN JOURNALIST’S MURDER IS A DEMOCRAT A Gallup poll in July found that only 16% of Americans said they have a "great deal or quite a lot" of confidence in newspapers in 2022, a 5% drop compared to the 2021 findings. This marked the lowest number since Gallup began polling opinions about newspapers in 1973. Television news also reached new record low levels of trust among Americans with only 11% of those polled saying they had a "great deal or quite a lot" of confidence in the industry.

In August, a private housing co-op just off the main campus allegedly banned White visitors from their common areas while a UC Berkeley Law dean claimed that an "originalist" reading of the Constitution is a "scourge" to the Supreme Court. | | | | | Queen Elizabeth II was one of the greatest leaders of the modern era | | Sep 12, 2022 | | Queen Elizabeth II’s death is devastating news. She will be sorely missed on both sides of the Atlantic and across the free world. Her sudden passing at the age of 96 was a shock to the British nation, and particularly heartbreaking for the tens of millions of Britons who had spent their entire lives in the second Elizabethan Age. For many in the United Kingdom, a world without the Queen is simply unimaginable. Such was her constant presence in the hearts and minds of the British people since she ascended to the throne in 1952, when Winston Churchill was prime minister in his second term of office. We cherish the memory of a truly great leader who lived her life for the sake of her nation with a tremendous sense of dedication, public service, and sacrifice. The Queen will continue to inspire future generations. She will be remembered as a monarch who admirably led her nation through decades of tremendous change on many fronts, from the end of Empire in the 1950s and 1960s through to the Brexit era of the 2020s. Over the course of 70 years, 15 British premierships and 14 U.S. presidencies, the Queen has been a unifying force and a titan on the world stage. She was also the embodiment of the Anglo-American Special Relationship, greatly strengthening the ties between the U.K. and the U.S., which speaks to her immense popularity among the American people. QUEEN ELIZABETH II: 10 FACTS AND STANDOUT MOMENTS FROM THE BRITISH MONARCH'S LIFE My former boss, Margaret Thatcher, forged a powerful partnership with the Queen as the two most powerful women in the world in the 1980s. Indeed, their friendship with President Ronald Reagan cemented the alliance between the United States and the United Kingdom, the very beating heart of the free world. Lady Thatcher had immense respect for Queen Elizabeth II and the institution of the Monarchy. And the Queen recognized Thatcher, Britain’s first woman prime minister, as a principled politician dedicated to serving her nation with conviction and relentless drive and determination. CLICK HERE TO GET THE OPINION NEWSLETTER The Queen will be revered as one of the greatest leaders of the modern era, and her life of selfless duty and service has left the world a better place. Her leadership over seven decades has also left the British Monarchy in great health, with public support for the Royal Family remaining robust and steadfast. Her son and successor, King Charles III, must now lead the British people. He should follow the example of his mother, whose heart was always filled with a spirit of hope and optimism, as well as faith in God and the greatness of the British nation. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM NILE GARDINER | | | | | Insulin price caps for private markets on life support with condensed Senate schedule | | Sep 12, 2022 | | Campaign season, competing legislation, and the unknown of the lame duck session may prevent the Senate from acting on a bill to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs, despite efforts by the lawmakers behind the bill to push it ahead. "I’m glad Senate Democrats made important progress to address the skyrocketing costs of insulin in the Inflation Reduction Act, but those provisions are only the beginning. To get at the full scope of these surging costs, we need a comprehensive solution," Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., the lead sponsor of the bill, said in a statement Friday. "We saw bipartisan support for the initial insulin provisions in the IRA, and I believe we can build on that progress in the weeks ahead." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., vowed in an MSNBC appearance last month that the Senate will vote on price caps for insulin on private plans. But the path is looking increasingly difficult with a packed Senate schedule. And Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, the chief GOP sponsor of the legislation, says she blames Schumer for making the bill harder to pass by decoupling price caps for Medicare recipients from similar caps on private plans. "I think our path is more difficult because of Sen. Schumer's decision, which was contrary to what he told me, to break off parts of the bill and put it in reconciliation," Collins told reporters Thursday. MANCHIN PIPELINE DEAL COULD BE A PROBLEM IN INTERIM SPENDING BILL TALKS "Jeanne and I still believe that our bill has a great deal of merit and would rectify the problem that reconciliation does not apply to the commercial market, nor does it address the underlying problem of rebates and high list prices," Collins also said. "The $35 cap for Medicare, it doesn't really address the inherent conflicts of interests in the way that insulin gets to consumers." Time could be the biggest factor in whether Collins and Shaheen get a vote on their bill. 11 SENATE RACES WILL DETERMINE WHETHER DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS CONTROL THE CHAMBER AFTER MIDTERM ELECTIONS The Senate is already set to vote on multiple judicial confirmations early next week. After that, a bill to protect gay marriage rights at a federal level is likely to come to the floor as early as next week, although Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., said she expects it to slip to "the following week." If the gay marriage bill passes, which its advocates are optimistic about, the next item on the Senate's agenda will be a funding bill to avert a government shutdown. That may be a time-consuming fight with progressives and Republicans alike smarting over Schumer's deal with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., to include permitting reform for energy projects in exchange for his vote on the Inflation Reduction Act. Once that bill is across the finish line, it's possible Schumer will send everyone home to campaign rather than keeping the Senate in session until October. That could push any conversation about insulin prices until the lame duck session in November and December, when congressional priorities could be radically different. A senior Democratic aide nevertheless said the insulin bill is something they want to get done, and that they are "discussing the best path forward." If the Senate does get to the Shaheen-Collins legislation, supporters are optimistic it can pass. Seven Republicans voted to override the Senate's "Byrd Rule" and allow a commercial insulin price cap during the "vote-a-rama" on Democrats' social spending and tax bill. In an interview with the Portland Press-Herald last month, Collins pointed to that as evidence she can secure even more votes outside the context of a massive party-line bill. GOP opponents of the legislation, meanwhile, question why Republicans would be willing to back what they say is little more than big government meddling in the market. "It’s not political, it’s a fact: the only way to truly lower prices without harming quality is to increase competition in the free market. Any price-setting effort will only push those costs from the product to your premiums," Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., one of the most vocal opponents of the legislation in the House, told Fox News Digital. "Democrats are looking for an easy win before the midterms, they’ll spin it however they want and ignore the true cost to Americans who depend on insulin. Republicans should not be party to a socialist price-setting scheme." | | | | | Queen Elizabeth II's hearse was customized for her | | Sep 12, 2022 | | Queen Elizabeth II's casket was carried across Scotland on Sunday in a black hearse that was specially prepared for the task. The vehicle was provided by the William Purve Funeral Directors service, which saw its website crash after its name was seen on the vehicle's window. The car was not originally black, however, as William Purve's fleet is famously silver. "I can confirm that the hearse is one of our Silver E-Class Mercedes-Benz fleet which is wrapped in black to comply with Royal protocol," a spokesperson for the Edinburgh-based company told Fox News Digital. FROM MECHANIC TO MOTORING MONARCH: QUEEN ELIZABETH II SPENT HER LIFE BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL "The hearse, and our team, are part of a meticulously planned and heavily rehearsed operation which is overseen by Palace officials." The car is based on a Mercedes-Benz E-Class and was built by Germany's Binz International, according to Drive. The company has been in business since 1936 and originally built horse-drawn ambulances and hearses, but started converting luxurious Mercedes-Benz vehicles in the 1950s. The model used for the Queen's procession features an extended wheelbase that allows it to maintain two rows of passenger seating. Binz even uses the same body panel supplier as Mercedes-Benz to maintain its appearance and quality. ELECTRIC NISSAN HEARSE IS THE WAY TO GO The Queen's coffin will be flown from Edinburgh to London on Tuesday evening, where it will be transferred to a State Hearse that will transport it to Buckingham Palace. The exact vehicle that will be used has not yet been revealed, but the Queen Mother's coffin was transported in 2002 by a Jaguar hearse built by Britain's Wilcox Limousines. Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip's coffin was famously carried during his services in 2021 by a custom Land Rover Defender the helped design. He reportedly once asked Elizabeth to "just stick me in the back of a Land Rover and drive me to Windsor." | | | | | Cowboys' Dak Prescott addresses thumb injury: 'I'm sure I'll come out of this better' | | Sep 12, 2022 | | Dak Prescott suffered a thumb injury in the Dallas Cowboys' loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday and is expected to be out for multiple weeks. It will be the second time in his career that Prescott will miss significant time as he suffered a gruesome ankle injury during the 2020 season. After the 19-3 loss, Prescott addressed reporters with a cast on his right hand. He was diagnosed with a fractured right thumb. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "Yeah, it’s very disappointing, but injuries happen. Can’t necessarily control it. Just unfortunate. I’m obviously going to miss some time, not be there for my team. That’s what hurts more than anything, especially after the start that we just put out there," Prescott said, via Pro Football Talk. "I wanted to be able to respond and not necessarily having that opportunity for several weeks. Yeah, it’s unfortunate, but I’ll do what I’ve always done anytime adversity comes. Take it on head first, and I’ll give my best, and I’m sure I’ll come out of this better." BUCCANEERS' MIKE EVANS MAKES RIDICULOUS ONE-HANDED TOUCHDOWN CATCH AGAINST COWBOYS Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the injury was not season-ending, but he’ll miss a few games. Prescott said he thought he "jammed" the thumb when he suffered the injury with about 6 minutes remaining in the game. "I mean, I’ve hit on however many bodies, a lot in my career, and never really had anything [except] maybe a jammed finger, and I actually thought that’s what it was," he said. "The next play I realized I couldn’t grip the ball, let the sideline know. Then, when I got off, I told the trainers the same thing. I said, ‘I can’t grip it. I feel like if you yank it, I’ll be OK,’ and I came in and got X-rays and things were different." Dallas was dealing with offensive line issues all night. The Cowboys lost Tyron Smith in training camp and moved rookie Tyler Smith from guard to tackle ahead of the opener. | | | | | Democrat Katie Hobbs declines Arizona gubernatorial debate with Kari Lake again | | Sep 12, 2022 | | Democrat Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs on Sunday again declined an invitation to debate Republican opponent Kari Lake ahead of the November election. Hobbs, the state's current secretary of state, has proposed instead a town hall-style event in which each candidate is questioned separately. Last week, Hobbs and Lake participated in this style of event in a forum hosted by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce. However, the Democrat refuses to debate Lake, even after the Citizens Clean Elections Commission, a state commission that monitors and organizes debates, rejected a request from Hobbs last week to do separate town hall forums. "Unfortunately, debating a conspiracy theorist like Kari Lake – whose entire campaign platform is to cause enormous chaos and make Arizona the subject of national ridicule – would only lead to constant interruptions, pointless distractions, and childish name-calling," Hobbs' campaign manager Nicole DeMont said in a statement. ARIZONA'S BLAKE MASTERS SAYS VOTERS QUESTION WHY WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS ARE NOT INVESTING MORE IN THIS RACE "Arizonans deserve so much better than Kari Lake, and that’s why we’re confident Katie Hobbs will be elected our next governor," the statement continued. "We must respectfully decline the invitation." The commission said Thursday it had given the candidates a week to agree to minor changes for the debate scheduled on October 12. The statement from the Hobbs campaign indicated that it is unlikely a debate will be held. The Hobbs campaign is concerned that a debate with Lake would be a repeat of the Republican primary debate, when the now-GOP nominee embraced former President Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was rigged. Lake, a former TV news anchor, also suggested that Democrats would cheat in the 2022 election. DC COUNCIL MEMBER BLAMES BORDER STATE GOVERNORS FOR MIGRANT EMERGENCY The Hobbs campaign statement mentioning a potentially chaotic debate with Lake is in reference to the GOP primary debate that featured four candidates repeatedly talking over and interrupting each other. Hobbs had also skipped the debate with her Democratic primary opponent Marco Lopez, who instead participated in a solo interview. The Republican said she has already agreed to debate rules. "It's becoming clearer everyday [sic] that Hobbs' strategy is to hide from Me, the Press, and the Voters throughout the entirety of this campaign and run out the clock on the people of Arizona," Lake said in a statement Thursday. "Fortunately, the Clean Elections Commission refused to play into her game and voted down her proposal for a town hall safe space." Lake said Hobbs is welcome to join her for the October 12 debate if she "grows a spine" between now and then. The Arizona governor's race is projected as a toss-up. | | | | | | | | | |
