"Even though she was in her late nineties… you couldn't imagine her not being there. And then when it happened, it was like I could feel it in my stomach, I was really upset," Cowell told Fox News Digital exclusively on the red carpet at "America's Got Talent." The 62-year-old TV personality’s comments come on the heels of King Charles III ascending the throne after Queen Elizabeth II died last week at the age of 96.
"I have so much respect for her, for her work ethic… now it just doesn't feel the same. However, I have met King Charles, and he's an amazing man, really nice person, very charming. It's a sad day," Cowell continued. SIMON COWELL REVEALS HOW HIS SON CHANGED HIS JUDGING STYLE: ‘I HAVE MUCH MORE EMPATHY’ But it was a happy night as "America’s Got Talent" crowned a winner for Season 17. The Lebanese dance group The Mayyas were the ultimate champions of the NBC competition, taking home the $1 million grand prize. Cowell noted that he predicted The Mayyas would win the competition, and added the dance group was "sheer talent and joy." "Something we've never seen before. I think everyone who experienced this was just gobsmacked," he remarked. "I heard how many hours they had to put into this. There are so many people in the group… it was breathtakingly good." Cowell, who has been on "AGT" since 2016, has launched the careers of many popular artists and bands, including Leona Lewis, One Direction and Fifth Harmony. When asked about former One Direction band member Harry Styles, Simon told Fox News Digital about his memories from when Styles first set foot on the competition stage. "I remember his first audition. I thought, ‘I really like you. You're very charming, you're very talented, and I think great things will happen,'" Cowell told Fox News Digital. "You always hope that with people you like… Afterward, they leave us… and he did what he wants to do." So now that "America’s Got Talent" season 17 has ended, is Simon planning his wedding to fiancée Lauren Silverman? "Nothing really to report… quite yet. But I'm going to take a little break, and then I come back to work again," he said. "I'm going to announce something new we've been working on very soon that I’m excited about." Cowell and his socialite fiancée have been dating since 2004 and, in 2014, the two welcomed son Eric, now 8.

He opened up last month about how his judging style has changed over the years, thanks to his son. "I have a son, I have much more empathy for the younger acts," Cowell told Fox News Digital exclusively. | | | | | Virginia running trail alleged sex predator is illegal immigrant deported 3 times, wanted in NY jogger attack | | Sep 15, 2022 | | The accused naked sexual predator arrested for allegedly terrorizing women and girls along a popular Virginia walking trail for months is an illegal immigrant who was also wanted in New York for attacking a jogger who is the wife of a member of law enforcement. Juan Rodriguez Alfaro, now suspected in a string of at least 21 separate assault and sexual battery-related incidents victimizing women and girls along the Washington and Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail since July, is an illegal immigrant from Honduras who has been previously deported three times, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson told FOX 5 DC. Fairfax County police said that Rodriguez Alfaro had also been facing out-of-state warrants for attempted rape and sexual assault in Suffolk County, New York, since nearly a year ago. Suffolk County Police Det. Tom Corso, assigned to the U.S. Marshals task force, told FOX 5 that Rodriguez Alfaro was wearing just a tank top when he allegedly attacked a jogger in October 2021. The New York woman, the wife of a member of law enforcement, managed to fight him off, Corso said. VIRGINIA POPULAR WALKING TRAIL'S NAKED MADMAN WAS WANTED IN NEW YORK FOR ATTEMPTED RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT Corso said investigators believe Rodriguez Alfaro was living in Suffolk County at the time but later fled. Fairfax County police said Rodriguez Alfaro is believed to have been living with an associate in Herndon, Virginia, since January of this year before being tied to the attacks that started in July. In some Virginia incidents, the suspect was described as pantsless, naked from the waist down. Herndon Police Chief Maggie DeBoard said in one Aug. 26 attack on a jogger, Rodriguez Alfaro "exposed himself and was engaging in obscene sexual behaviors and grabbed the victim’s genitals" before fleeing. The 42-year-old is being held in Fairfax County without bond. ICE filed a detainer with Fairfax County to be alerted in the event that Rodriguez Alfaro might be released from their custody. | | | | | Prince William reveals walk behind Queen Elizabeth's coffin was 'challenging' and 'brought back memories' | | Sep 15, 2022 | | Prince William gave an emotional speech to mourners on Thursday, opening up about just how painful it was walking behind the coffin of his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, in the funeral procession.

David Valadao, a House Republican running for re-election in a newly-drawn blue district in California, slammed Gov. Gavin Newsom on "America's Newsroom" Thursday for blaming the GOP for the state's energy shortages despite Democrats controlling every aspect of state government. WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: CALIFORNIA'S BLACKOUTS ARE A RESULT OF 'MAN-MADE CLIMATE POLICIES', 'NOT CLIMATE CHANGE' REP. DAVID VALADAO: The problem with Gavin Newsom right now, when you see what he's doing, he's literally suing the federal government to prevent more energy production from the state of California. … And my communities are running out of water… He's not helping, he's actually getting in the way and suing and preventing us from actually being able to get some sort of policies done that could be beneficial to our communities. And for him to sit there and focus on Republicans, when Democrats have controlled every statewide elected office and have supermajorities in both the Assembly and the Senate, and still find some way to blame the people who are in the minority, is asinine. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW BELOW: | | | | | Christianity quickly diminishing in US, on pace to become minority religion in decades: study | | Sep 15, 2022 | | A recently released study suggests the number of Christians in the United States is diminishing quickly and being replaced by those who do not identify with any religion. A new report by Pew Research Center and the General Social Survey published Tuesday found a surge of adults leaving Christianity to become atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular." It predicted that if the number of Christians under 30 abandoning their faith accelerates beyond the current pace, adherents of the historically dominant religion of the U.S. could become a minority by 2045. Noting how approximately 90% of Americans identified as Christians in the early 1990s, the study observed that number, which includes children, had fallen to only 64% by 2020. The number of people in the U.S. who identify as religiously unaffiliated, meanwhile, skyrocketed from 16% in 2007 to 29% in 2020, the research showed. Other religions such as Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, accounted for approximately 6% in 2020. The study presented four hypothetical scenarios by which the U.S. religious landscape could change in the coming decades. In one scenario, researchers analyzed the potential impact of young Christian adults abandoning their faith and switching affiliation without limitation. PASTORS BATTLE SKYROCKETING BURNOUT AMID POLITICS, PANDEMIC: ‘WEARING ON THE SOUL’ The other three scenarios hypothesize other types of increasing religious disaffiliation, but "they all show Christians continuing to shrink as a share of the U.S. population, even under the counterfactual assumption that all switching came to a complete stop in 2020." All four scenarios project swelling ranks among the religiously unaffiliated, or "nones," throughout the next half century. The only scenario that projects Christians maintaining a majority in the U.S. through 2070 is if no one changes their religious affiliation after 2020. "Of course, it is possible that events outside the study’s model – such as war, economic depression, climate crisis, changing immigration patterns or religious innovations – could reverse current religious switching trends, leading to a revival of Christianity in the United States," the study said. "But there are no current switching patterns in the U.S. that can be factored into the mathematical models to project such a result." METHODIST LEADERS SAY ‘REBELLION AND DYSFUNCTION’ OVER LGBT ISSUES SPLITTING DENOMINATION The study's data showed that while more older Americans are remaining identified with Christianity, many younger adults are increasingly switching to "nones." "If the pace of switching before the age of 30 were to speed up throughout the projection period without any brakes, Christians would no longer be a majority by 2045," Pew researchers noted. In such a scenario, the number of religiously unaffiliated would stand at 52% and the number of Christians dip to 35% by 2070. "Switching has not ended and there is no reason to think it will come to an abrupt stop," the researchers said, adding, "Still, if fewer future young adults switch from Christianity to no affiliation, or if movement in the opposite direction increases, the future religious landscape might resemble the results of this projection." The researchers predicted based on recent generational trends that the most likely scenario among their hypotheticals is Christianity declining but still remaining capped at 50%. | | | | | Is Biden a uniter or divider? Americans in Pennsylvania and Oregon weigh in | | Sep 15, 2022 | | People in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Portland, Oregon, shared whether they thought President Biden has united or divided this country. "Divided it," one Allentown woman told Fox News. "Because he's not doing what he's supposed to do for this country, and I think that he's not really he doesn't love this country the way he should." However, another woman, Roxy, said: "He's trying to be a unifier. I just think it's really rough right now. You got to do the best you can." President Biden's approval rating rose from a low of 36% in July to 45%, driven in part by a sharp increase in Democrat support for Biden (78% up from 65% in July), according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Throughout the campaign trail and on inauguration day, Biden promised to unite the country, but several Americans said they felt he has divided it. BIDEN INFLATION BILL CELEBRATION: MAINSTREAM MEDIA TAKES NOTICE OF ‘UNFORTUNATE’ TIMING AS MARKET PLUNGED "I think since he's been in presidency, things have just gone wrong," one Pennsylvania man told Fox News. "Gas rates have gone up, the housing market's crashing, the recession has gotten worse. It's just so many things to name." The national average gas price reached $5 a gallon in June, but prices have dropped nearly 50 cents per gallon over the last 30 days. For the first time since March 2021, the average home is selling for less than its list price, according to the real estate company Redfin. PRESIDENT BIDEN SHOULD VISIT THE SOUTHERN BORDER TO WITNESS MASS MIGRATION PROBLEMS, TEXAS RESIDENTS SAY "I think he's done a decent job trying to unite the country," an Allentown resident told Fox News. "Obviously he hasn't been perfect, but no president is supposed to be perfect. But I think he's he's definitely done a better job than his predecessor." WHITE HOUSE SAYS BIDEN'S COSTLY LAST-MINUTE DELAWARE TRIP TO VOTE ‘WORKED OUT BEST’ FOR HIS SCHEDULE Several others also compared Biden to former President Trump. "This nation was divided when he took office because of Trump," a Portland resident, Carol, said. "One person can’t change everything. It takes a collective effort." "Everybody right now is divided on so many issues that anybody that takes office is going to have problems," Carol continued. Xavier said: "The country was already divided, so Biden didn't really help, and he really didn't make it worse." Portland resident, Jon, said COVID-19 was in part to blame for the country's divisiveness. "This has been a long time coming," Jon told Fox News."I think COVID exacerbated a lot of the issues that Americans face, especially with politicizing vaccines and treatment and stuff like that. And I don’t really see a way out of it anymore, especially in states like Washington and Oregon, which are essentially one party states." | | | | | New Hampshire's Bolduc backtracks on statements 2020 election was stolen ahead of midterms | | Sep 15, 2022 | | After declaring victory in New Hampshire's GOP Senate primary, retired Army Gen. Don Bolduc prepares to take on Democrat incumbent Sen. Maggie Hassan and his past statements on the 2020 election results. Bolduc defeated the GOP establishment candidate Chuck Morse Wednesday, but many have raised concern over some views which have been labeled "far-right." On "America's Newsroom" Thursday, Bolduc, who previously said then-President Trump won the 2020 election, cleared the air on his views regarding the voting results. "I have come to the conclusion, and I want to be definitive on this, the election was not stolen," Bolduc told hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. PENCE RETURNS TO NEW HAMPSHIRE TO BOOST GOP NOMINEE BOLDUC IN KEY SENATE SHOWDOWN "Was there fraud? Yes. Is that a concern of Granite Staters all over the state? Yes, there is. Is there a responsibility for public servants in elected positions to ensure that our citizens have faith in their voting system? Yes, but elections have consequences." During an August debate with the Government Integrity Project, Bolduc stood by assertions that the 2020 election was stolen. Nearly one month later, Bolduc changed his tune. "We live and learn, right? And I've done a lot of research on this," Bolduc said. "Unfortunately, President Biden is the legitimate president of this country and he is ruining it along with Maggie Hassan." Bolduc argued that Democrats like Biden and Hassan are trying to keep Americans focused on 2020 instead of the upcoming elections. "We all have time to make up from mistakes or things we've said that aren't accurate," he said. "That's a part of learning, that's part of listening." Connected to his campaign message "enough is enough," Bolduc challenged Americans to look back to move forward and not get stuck in 2020. "Let's cut the cord on this. Your actions have hurt people. They have hurt people economically," Bolduc said about the Democrats' leadership. "They lie, they mislead, they point fingers, and they fail to take responsibility." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Bolduc highlighted the failures of the Democrats since Biden took office, including sky-rocketing inflation and a national security crisis created by immigration policy. "So we're facing threats from inside and outside this country. We couldn't be in a worse position as a result of their lack of leadership," he said. | | | | | Archery hunter sustains life-threatening injuries from moose attack | | Sep 15, 2022 | | Colorado authorities say an archery hunter sustained life-threatening injuries when he was gored and trampled by a moose in a remote area west of Fort Collins.
