| Fox News - Latest Headlines | | | | Candace Owens tells residents of Democrat-run inner cities: 'Don't wait for it to be you ... get out' | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Conservative commentator Candace Owens urged Americans living in inner city communities of Democrat-run areas to "get out," warning that liberal policies will only further embolden criminals and contributed to the staggering rise in crime across the U.S. In an appearance on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Tuesday, Owens said the crime wave is a result of misguided criminal justice reform initiatives, including the defund the police movement. CANDACE OWENS: It's infuriating…look at all the crime. Look at the statistics and look at the laws behind it. You know what it makes me think? You know what it makes the American people think? The criminals are on the streets, but the worst criminals are in office. They are voting on pieces of legislation. They're pushing through policies that are harming the American people. And they know it’s harming the American people. They just don’t care. Because they have armed guards. They live behind gated communities. They’ve sold out the American people. We all knew this was going to come. We voted these people into office by the way. These are elected officials who stood on a platform and told you to defund police because they had armed guards. They didn’t care. Of course, we're seeing this consequence. LIBERAL CHICAGO CITY COUNCILMEMBER DECRIES INTENSE CRIME WAVE: ‘A JOKE’ --- By the way, who is being harmed the most when you look at numbers? Of course, it’s Black Americans. The very people they purported to help when they first pushed out these policies. --- I do want to say to people that are watching who are still living in these inner communities in Democrat cities, get out. This is not a joke. Don’t wait for it to be you. Don’t wait for it to be your child you are pushing in a stroller when you get run over….do not wait for politicians to rescue you. Rescue yourself, and get out of Democrat-controlled cities. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW FROM ‘TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT’ BELOW:

Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said Tuesday. Taylor performed his hit "Fire & Rain" and made brief remarks about climate change and how the event represented a "hopeful moment" for the United States. Rubio told "Jesse Watters Primetime" he does not explicitly listen to Taylor's music, but said he feels bad for the 74-year-old Boston native. "I guess he's won some awards and sold a lot of records, maybe more than anybody, but I'm actually embarrassed for the guy," Rubio remarked. MANCHIN SLAMS HARRIS: DEAD WRONG ON BORDER SECURITY CLAIM "I mean, he's asked him to come and play his guitar on the day when they're announcing this inflation-reduction garbage. And in fact, it's the day when we got this report that food prices… are the highest they've been since 1979." The Miami lawmaker said regular Americans are feeling the pinch of inflation and the fact it is getting worse since Biden's legislation passed. Americans might be also feeling angry that Biden invited entertainment for such an event despite its counterintuitive timing, he added. JUDGE PIRRO BLASTS BIDEN'S ‘TONE-DEAF PARTY’ AS INFLATION REDUCTION ACT USHERS IN MORE INFLATION When host Jesse Watters quipped that Biden might next have a celebration for a secure border and could invite rapper Cardi B to perform, Rubio replied that the artist might at least be more fitting. "Well at least she knows where inflation is at," the lawmaker said, referring to how the New York rapper vented on social media about the increasing costs of everyday commodities. JOE PISCOPO URGES AMERICANS NOT TO FORGET ABOUT 9/11 AS NEW GENERATIONS GROW UP Later, Rubio also spoke about his Senate re-election bid in which he faces U.S. Rep. Val Demings of Orlando. Demings, who formerly served as Orlando police chief and whose husband Jerry is the Democratic mayor of Orange County, gave up her House seat to face off with Rubio. CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Rubio criticized the congresswoman for voting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., most of her tenure, and said that his state is aggravating the Democratic Party nationwide because "we've embarrassed them." Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, the state largely eschewed federally recommended socioeconomic coronavirus restrictions and has taken a more confrontational stance against left-wing critical race theory and gender studies for children. | | | | | 'Young Turks' host Cenk Uygur denounces 'defund the police' rhetoric as 'wildly counterproductive' | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Cenk Uygur, founder and host of the progressive outlet "The Young Turks," condemned far-left rhetoric against police in a Tuesday tweet. "Will people who came up with 'Defund the Police' slogan admit they were wrong? It was wildly counterproductive framing," he said in the post. "You don't speak for the left. And neither do people pushing the counterproductive 'Abolish Prisons.' Polls show that almost no one on the left agrees with you." Uygur warned further that people who use that variety of rhetoric do not speak for the American left as a whole. "You can't claim to speak for the left, if polls indicate that actual human beings who are on the left don't like your ideas," he claimed. "And if they like your ideas, but you bungled it by making your ideas sound worse through the names and the framing, then that's on you. Do better." SAN FRANCISCO POLICE UNION: MAYOR'S CRIME CRACKDOWN IS 'ACKNOWLEDGMENT' THAT DEFUND POLICE WAS 'MISTAKE' In the summer of 2020, however, when riots raged across the country, his rhetoric was very different. "I'm done. I'm now supporting #DefundThePolice 100%. I already largely agreed with the substance of the argument & now I'm down for the framing, too," he tweeted on June 25, 2020. "There is no reform or transformation that can fix this. We have to start over and completely rebuild policing in this country." This came shortly after he had said he preferred the slogan "transform the police" because "that's much stronger than just reform but not distracting like defunding." SAN FRANCISCO POLICE UNION: MAYOR'S CRIME CRACKDOWN IS 'ACKNOWLEDGMENT' THAT DEFUND POLICE WAS 'MISTAKE' President Joe Biden himself has preached a more pro-police message in recent months after previously saying some funding should "absolutely" be redirected from police. He traveled to Pennsylvania late last month and declared to the crowd that, "I'm opposed to defunding the police, I'm also opposed to defunding the FBI." | | | | | Alabama prison escape: Inmate Casey White, guard Vicky White shared nearly 1,000 phone calls | | Sep 14, 2022 | | Alabama murder suspect Casey White and now-deceased jail guard Vicky White shared nearly 1,000 phone calls while he was incarcerated in prison before his escape and a subsequent police manhunt. Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said investigators think the pair, who are not related, may have plotted his escape over the phone during conversations that took place from August 2021 and February, WAFF-TV reported. Singleton said the calls have not been listened to yet. Casey White, 38, and Vicky White, 56, developed a romantic relationship while he was being held in the Lauderdale County Detention Center during the summer of 2021. He was later transported back to the Donaldson Correctional Facility where they shared 949 phone calls, Singleton said. CASEY WHITE ESCAPE: TIMELINE FOR ALABAMA MURDER SUSPECT ON THE RUN WITH CORRECTIONS OFFICER White was already serving a 75-year prison sentence when he was transferred from Donaldson to the Lauderdale County Detention Center in Florence to stand trial there on unrelated murder charges linked to the 2015 murder of 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway After the April 29 escape, the pair spent 11 days on the run before Casey White was captured in Indiana. Vicky White shot herself in the head during a police pursuit and died a short time later. In the months before the escape, she sold her home for about half of what she could have gotten and allegedly had about $90,000 in cash when she and Casey fled. April 29 was due to be her last day before retirement. She was facing charges including forgery, identity theft and permitting/aiding an escape.

The siblings – 7-year-old Zachary Merdy, 4-year-old Lilana Merdy and 3-month-old Oliver Bondarev – were found unresponsive by law enforcement on Monday morning around 4:30 a.m. Their mother, 30-year-old Erin Merdy, was still in custody on Tuesday. She was found about two miles down the boardwalk from the area that she lived. THREE CHILDREN DEAD AFTER DROWNING INCIDENT AT CONEY ISLAND BEACH, MOTHER BEING QUESTIONED Merdy's mother told the New York Daily News that her daughter had been struggling recently. "She might have been going through postpartum depression," Jacqueline Scott, 56, told the local news outlet. "I reached out to her yesterday and she said she was doing laundry and I said I wanted to speak to the kids… I tried to call her twice on the phone after that and there was no answer." A relative of the mother had called police around 1:40 a.m. on Monday to report that the woman may harm her children. No charges have been filed as of Tuesday evening.

So, he decided to make up for lost time. In the sixth inning, the MVP favorite blasted his 56th home run of the season on Tuesday night at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox to tie the game at three. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Two innings later, he tied the game again, hitting a solo homer — his 57th of the year — over the Green Monster. The five games without a homer was tied for his forth-longest streak of the season. However, despite the "drought," Judge has been absolutely raking. The homer was his second hit of the night, and in his last 10 games (up to the eighth-inning homer), he is hitting .514 (19-for-37) with six homers and 10 RBI. He has also reached base at least three times in all but one of those games. Judge recently had a streak of seven straight games of reaching base at least three times, which had not been done by a Yankee since Mickey Mantle did so in 1957. ROGER MARIS' SON WISHES AARON JUDGE WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE HIS FATHER HAS THE 'REAL' HOME-RUN RECORD The 57 home runs are the most hit by a player since teammate Giancarlo Stanton hit 59 in his NL MVP-winning 2017 campaign with the Miami Marlins. It also extends the record for most home runs hit in a season by a right-handed Yankee. Judge needs four to tie, and five to set, the American League record — which some may argue is the real record amid the steroid era. In any case, Judge is three homers away from becoming just the sixth player in MLB history to hit 60 in a season — it would also be the ninth occurrence and the first since Barry Bonds hit 73, which is the MLB record, and Sammy Sosa hit 64 in 2001. Judge also is vying for the Triple Crown — entering Tuesday night, he was hitting .307, trailing Boston's Xander Bogaerts' .319. | | | | | MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle admits 'your raises mean nothing' because of rising inflation | | Sep 14, 2022 | | MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle admitted that high inflation rates are having devastating effects on Americans on Tuesday’s "José Díaz-Balart Reports." A newly released report found inflation rose by 8.3% in August compared to one year earlier. This marked a .1% increase in prices from July and fell below initial predictions for only 8.1% inflation rates. Following the announcement, the Dow Jones Industrial Average also fell by more than 400 points. Ruhle acknowledged rising prices across the board, admitting that even wage gains made over the past year would not help. "And that’s why people are so frustrated right now. Things like eggs, milk, butter, you have to buy those things to keep your family in good shape. The fact that they are up that much even though wages are up, they’re simply not up in line. You can be saying I got this raise. Your raise means nothing if you had to spend it on milk, eggs and bacon," Ruhle said. BIDEN SLAMMED FOR HOSTING INFLATION REDUCTION ACT CELEBRATION WITH ‘AMERICAN’S 401KS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN’ In the past, Ruhle has been criticized for repeatedly downplaying and ignoring rising inflation rates. In November, she earned the nickname "Stephanie Antoinette" for arguing that Americans can afford higher grocery prices. "The dirty little secret here, Willie, while nobody likes to pay more, on average, we have the money to do so," she said. "Household savings hit a record high over the pandemic, we didn't really have anywhere to go out and spend." While Ruhle previously reported how inflation is canceling out wage gains made over the year, she also argued that the situation was not as bleak as reports make it out to be. KARINE JEAN-PIERRE STUMBLES WHEN PRESSED ON SO-CALLED INFLATION REDUCTION ACT: ‘IS IT FAIR?’ "Yes, rent is up, and it’s tough for people to get by, but we also know that wages are up. We know that childhood poverty in this country is down, and there are a lot of jobs out there. We must remember the inflationary environment is global. And the pain we are feeling here is exponentially worse in other countries, so the Fed is taking action and a lot of the contributing factors that got us here, supply chain issues, for example are starting to get better, we are clearly making our way out the pandemic. So things aren’t disastrous. We’re moving in the right direction, but it’s sluggish. It’s slow. It’s not as fast as any of us want it to be," Ruhle said. In July, Ruhle claimed that people who would vote based on rising inflation rates were basing their politics on feelings and not "facts." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP "But the problem is, when your neighbor goes to the grocery store. They’re not thinking about what eggs cost in Hungary. Just like they're not thinking about it at the gas pump. So, you have the facts on your side, but people vote based on how they feel and so you got to address that," Ruhle said.
