Nicki Minaj offers career advice to young Americans, delivers blunt response to Trump critics
Rapper Nicki Minaj shared her career advice to young Americans entering the workforce and fiercely defended her support of President Donald Trump during an exclusive interview with "The Ingraham Angle" on Friday.
The music mogul opened up about her journey to the top, explaining how she hustled her way from serving biscuits at Red Lobster to dominating music charts around the world and collaborating with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
"I did customer service for telephone companies. I was a telemarketer. I sold fire extinguishers. I did everything," Minaj shared with Fox News.

"What I would tell young people is: This is not the best part of your life, but it is probably one of the most important parts of your life," she said.
Minaj said the lessons she learned, as well as the values she developed while doing "nitty-gritty" work, before money and international success, remain central to how she conducts business today.
"The things that I learned during that time in my life, it still helps me today," the rapper explained. "All the people skills, and the communication skills, and all the problem-solving that I learned then, it still applies now when I'm around superstars or rich people."
"All of those skills, they carry over into the rest of your life. So don't look at that part of your life as something that you can't wait to fly by because… you might not be making the biggest money, but you're doing the real nitty-gritty work that is going to help you for the rest of your life," Minaj added.
THE RICH HAVE ONE FINANCIAL HABIT MOST AMERICANS IGNORE AT THEIR PERIL
The "Super Bass" and "Starships" singer, who has an estimated net worth of $150 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, also advised young Americans to save money, saying that "no matter how little" she made, she would always set aside funds for a rainy day.
Minaj also discussed her support for President Donald Trump after emerging as one of his fiercest allies in Hollywood.
The rapper recently partnered with the Trump administration on the Small Business Administration’s Million Dollar Pitch Competition, serving as one of the celebrity judges.

The competition brought five small business owners before a panel of judges, including Minaj and Airbnb’s co-founder, to give their best pitch for a share of a $1 million cash prize pool.
"Small business represents the heart of the country…," said Minaj. "You don't have to be a huge household name to be recognized by the president and to be recognized by us."
Minaj, whom Trump has called a "fantastic person," addressed the grief she receives for supporting the president, telling Fox News that she has "absolutely nothing" to say to critics and adding that she is "honored" to work with the administration.
"[Trump] is fun," the rapper said. "He's not just smart and he's not just the president, but he's also someone that I can relate to."

"He's very grounded. It's easy to connect with him, it's easy feel like he heard you, he understands you," she continued. "And I just love him, and I'm not going to ever make excuses for that."
Minaj was also asked when her fans, whom she fondly refers to as "Barbz," can expect her next tour following a hiatus after her Pink Friday 2 World Tour in 2024.
She urged fans to give her some time as she embraces what she described as her "businesswoman era."
"Who set you up to asking this question? Is one of the Barbz back there?" she asked host Laura Ingraham. "I'm gonna go out as soon as I present the Barbz with this next body of work, whenever that will be."
"Barbz, I love you very much if you're watching, and I don't want any more questions about concerts. I'm in my businesswoman era," she added.
Scammers are buying Google ads to steal bank logins
You need to check your bank account, so you open Google, type in your bank's name and click the first result that looks right. Most of us have done some version of that without thinking twice.
Now federal investigators say criminals turned that everyday habit into a way to steal bank logins and drain accounts. The Justice Department announced on Sept. 8 that a Russian web developer accused of helping run a large bank account takeover operation had been extradited to the United States. Prosecutors say the group bought sponsored search engine links that sent banking customers to fake login pages. Victims then entered their credentials, believing they had reached their bank.
That should get the attention of anyone who banks online. Here's how the scam works, why those sponsored results can look so convincing and what you can do to avoid handing your bank login to a criminal.
ASKED SIRI TO CALL YOUR BANK? A SCAM COULD COST THOUSANDS

According to federal prosecutors, the alleged operation used spoofed domains that mimicked websites belonging to federally insured financial institutions. The conspirators then bought sponsored search engine links. Those links could appear when someone searched for their bank.
A click sent the customer to a fraudulent login page. Once victims entered their credentials, the attackers could capture that information. Prosecutors say the group then used the stolen credentials to access real bank accounts, check balances and initiate unauthorized wire transfers.
The indictment also alleges that Sergei Anatolyevich Filimonov developed and maintained infrastructure supporting the operation. That included databases storing more than 5,000 stolen login credentials and software designed to capture sensitive authentication data.
The newest Sept. 8 Justice Department announcement says the conspirators purchased sponsored search-engine links. It does not name a particular search engine. However, the DOJ previously described the same bank account takeover operation when it seized the group's backend domain in December 2025. In that announcement, investigators specifically said the criminal group delivered fraudulent advertisements through search engines including Google and Bing. The ads imitated sponsored search ads used by legitimate banks.
Victims who clicked those ads were redirected to fake banking websites controlled by the criminals, according to the DOJ. That earlier investigation had identified at least 19 victims across the United States by December 2025. The DOJ reported approximately $28 million in attempted losses and about $14.6 million in actual losses tied to those victims.
Microsoft told CyberGuy that it has policies and detection mechanisms designed to help prevent misleading advertising. The company said that when it becomes aware of ads that violate its policies, it takes action to remove them and uses what it learns to strengthen its detection capabilities. Microsoft also encourages users to report suspicious ads through its "Report a Concern" form. We also reached out to Google for comment but did not hear back before our deadline.
FAKE PATIENT PORTAL SCAM CAN STEAL YOUR LOGIN AND INFECT YOUR PC
The trap works because a paid search result can appear in a place many of us naturally look first. You search for your bank. A result appears near the top. The wording looks familiar, so you click before studying the address. Most search ads are legitimate.
Still, the FBI warns that criminals can buy ads that imitate real businesses and direct users to convincing phishing sites. The FBI refers to this tactic as SEO poisoning in its account takeover guidance. That changes how I would approach something as sensitive as online banking. In fact, the FBI specifically recommends using bookmarks or favorites to reach login pages rather than clicking search results or advertisements.
This problem stretches far beyond one alleged criminal operation. Since January 2025, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center has received more than 5,100 complaints reporting account takeover fraud. Reported losses have exceeded $262 million.
Criminals use several ways to get inside accounts. Fraudulent banking websites remain one of them. The FBI says victims can encounter a phishing site after clicking a fake search advertisement. Attackers may also try to obtain a one-time passcode if an account uses multifactor authentication.
Once criminals gain access, they may move money to accounts they control. That can make recovery difficult, especially when funds move quickly.
The latest development centers on Sergei Anatolyevich Filimonov, 36, a Russian national and web developer. A federal grand jury indicted Filimonov on Nov. 4, 2025. Authorities later extradited him from the Republic of Georgia.
You do not need to stop banking online. However, changing how you reach your bank's login page can lower your risk.
SHOULD YOU USE A SEPARATE COMPUTER FOR ONLINE BANKING?
If you already have your bank's verified app installed, open it directly rather than searching for your bank in a browser. That removes the search-result step where this particular scam tries to catch you.
Visit your bank's verified website and save it as a bookmark or favorite. The FBI specifically recommends bookmarks or favorites for financial login pages instead of relying on search results or advertisements.
Take a second to inspect the domain before you enter banking credentials. A fake site may use a misspelled address or another small change designed to look legitimate. The FBI warns that fraudulent search ads can lead to URLs that closely resemble the real address. Microsoft also advises users to carefully review website URLs before entering credentials or other personal information online.
A "Sponsored" label means someone paid to place the advertisement. So when money or sensitive information is involved, verify the destination yourself before you sign in.
Enable two-factor or multifactor authentication if your financial institution offers it. However, do not let that give you a false sense of security. The FBI warns that MFA may not protect you after you land on a fraudulent login page. Criminals can also use social engineering to try to obtain your one-time code. Never give a one-time passcode to someone who contacts you unexpectedly.
YOUR BANK MAY STOP TEXTING YOU SIX-DIGIT CODES
A trusted password manager can help because it associates your saved login with a particular website. If your password manager normally fills your banking credentials but suddenly does not, stop before typing them manually. Check the address first. We've previously explained how password managers can provide another clue when you land on a spoofed login page.
Strong antivirus software can add another layer of protection if you click a malicious search result. It may warn you about known phishing sites, block dangerous downloads and stop other threats before they reach your device. However, no security software can protect you if you willingly enter your banking credentials on a convincing fake site, so always check the web address first. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android & iOS devices at Cyberguy.com
Set up alerts for activity such as withdrawals and new logins if your bank offers them. Then review unexpected activity immediately. The FBI recommends regularly monitoring financial accounts for unauthorized transactions.
Identity theft protection can help monitor for signs that your personal information is being misused. Some services can alert you to suspicious activity involving your credit, financial accounts or personal information and provide recovery assistance if fraud occurs. This will not stop a fake bank ad, but it can give you another way to spot trouble after your information has been exposed. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at Cyberguy.com
If you think you entered your credentials on a fake banking page, contact your financial institution immediately using a number you trust. Then reset the exposed credentials. If you reused the same password on another account, change it there as well. The FBI also recommends reporting fraudulent wire transfers to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov. Acting quickly may improve the chances of stopping or reversing a transfer.
What gets me about this scam is how normal the first step feels. You want to check your balance, so you search for your bank and choose a result that appears legitimate. There may be no strange email waiting in your inbox. You did not respond to an unexpected text. You started the search yourself. That can make the trap much harder to recognize. For banking, I would skip search results altogether. Use your bank's official app or a bookmark you have already verified. Then take a moment to look at the address before entering anything sensitive. A few extra seconds can be a lot easier than trying to recover money after it has left your account.
Have you ever clicked a sponsored search result because you assumed Google had already verified the company behind it? Would this warning change how you log in to your bank? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com

See inside the abandoned 95-year-old LA church that just became a luxury hotel
A building that has stood in Los Angeles for nearly a century is welcoming visitors in an entirely new way after an extensive restoration.
The former Bethany Presbyterian Church, built in 1931 in the city's Silver Lake neighborhood, has been converted into Hotel Lucile, a 25-room boutique hotel with a courtyard cocktail pool that opened Sept. 14, according to a hotel news release shared with Fox News Digital.
The property has taken on several roles over the decades. After operating as a church, it was later used as a theater and an antique market before being converted into a hotel, according to the release.
The latest transformation was about seven and a half years in the making, Anthony Gutierrez, opening general manager of Hotel Lucile, told Fox News Digital.
The restoration focused on finding a new use for the building while maintaining elements that date to its time as a house of worship, Gutierrez said.
Many of the church's original features remain throughout the property, including stained-glass windows, wooden beams, high ceilings and steel-framed windows.
One of the biggest transformations took place inside the former chapel, which now serves as the hotel's restaurant and dining room.

"Literally just about every aspect of the chapel itself was preserved," Gutierrez said, pointing to the original wood flooring, beams and stained-glass windows.
Preserving those features while preparing the building for its new use required extensive work, Gutierrez said. Crews removed the chapel's original wood flooring to install modern electrical and plumbing systems and add soundproofing for the guest rooms before putting the flooring back into place.
"For the dining room itself, it is as original as it can be," he said, estimating that about 90% of the space remains original.
Working with a building approaching 100 years old also presented challenges throughout the years-long redevelopment.

"We had surprises up until the day when we received our certificate of occupancy," Gutierrez said. "It was not an easy journey."
Meeting modern requirements while trying to preserve the building's original architectural elements made parts of the restoration a "painstaking" process, he added.
The building's latest chapter also includes an art collection, with two large hand-painted murals in the former chapel and other works displayed throughout the property.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Some pieces are part of a permanent collection, while others are available for purchase, Gutierrez said.
Along with preserving elements of the former church, the property has introduced modern touches, including an Erewhon-curated minibar and a roving martini cart that makes its rounds each evening, according to the release.
Gutierrez said the combination of old and new can offer travelers something different from a traditional hotel experience.
"There is some comfort in things being the same, but taking even a small risk of just going somewhere different and experiencing something different can really bring kind of a highlight to a trip or even a staycation," he said.
Ernie Accorsi, legendary Giants general manager who made the shrewd move to get Eli Manning, dead at 84
Ernie Accorsi, a legendary New York Giants front office executive who helped build the roster that made it to Super Bowl XXXV and traded for Eli Manning, has died, the team said. He was 84.
Accorsi was the Giants’ general manager from 1998 to 2006. He was also the general manager of the Baltimore Colts and the executive vice president of football operations for the Cleveland Browns.

"It was the honor of my dad’s lifetime to represent the Baltimore Colts, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants, three organizations that meant so much to him throughout his remarkable career," the Accorsi family said. "Our family is deeply grateful to each of them and to the many people who became lifelong friends along the way.
"We are especially grateful to the New York Giants organization, John Mara, Ronnie Barnes, and the late Wellington Mara for their friendship, loyalty, and love for my father over so many years. The Giants were far more than a team to him. They were family, and being part of that family was something he treasured. Once a Giant, always a Giant."
The Giants released a statement on Accorsi’s death hours before the start of the majority of the NFL’s Week 2 slate.
"Ernie helped shape the course of New York Giants history through his vision, leadership and unwavering belief in building a championship organization," Giants president John Mara said in a statement. "Beyond his accomplishments as a football executive, he was a trusted advisor and dear friend. His legacy will forever be part of the Giants, and he will be greatly missed."
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also reflected on Accorsi’s life and impact.

"Ernie Accorsi was one of the most respected football minds in NFL history and a dear friend whose wisdom and perspective I valued tremendously," he said. "Throughout his remarkable career, he shaped championship-caliber clubs and earned the admiration of everyone who worked with him.
"Ernie's impact extended beyond the teams he served. As co-chair of the General Managers Advisory Committee, he helped guide our game and strengthen the NFL. His integrity, common sense and commitment to doing what was best for football made him an invaluable voice. Ernie was thoughtful, humble, and he cared deeply about the people in our league. He never lost sight of the relationships that make football special and we will all greatly miss him."
Accorsi executed the trade that brought Manning to the Giants during the 2004 NFL Draft. The team traded the rights to Philip Rivers to the San Diego Chargers for the former Ole Miss standout.
The move changed the history of the Giants as Manning would eventually guide the team to two Super Bowl titles during his career.
"I was extremely sad to hear the news about Ernie," Manning said in a statement. "I call Ernie every draft week for the last 12 years, maybe longer than that, and just thank him for making the trade and believing in me and bringing me to the New York Giants. I know he was the believer in me and kind of the reason I got here.
"I appreciated him so much for building such great teams and giving us the opportunity to win some championships here. He was always so fun to sit with and just talk, whether it’s the Giants or his time in Baltimore around the Colts. His stories around the NFL and the people he was around that shaped his career were always so entertaining. I know the Giants organization owes a lot of thanks to Ernie Accorsi and what he was able to do for the organization."
The Giants inducted Accorsi into their Ring of Honor in 2016 with Tom Coughlin and Justin Tuck.
Some Titans players arrive at their game Sunday against the Eagles looking ridiculous
Let's stipulate that fashion sense and what looks good or bad is subjective. Well, Tennessee Titans players are pushing the envelope on that before their game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Because some of them are showing up to the game looking like clowns.
(Yeah, we get a subjective opinion, too).
FORMER NAVY MIDSHIPMAN LANDON ROBINSON SHOWS UP TO HIS FIRST NFL GAME IN FULL DRESS MILITARY UNIFORM
Sane people's Exhibit 1 on this front is backup running back Julius Chestnut.
The special teams contributor showed up to the game in some Green Goblin Halloween looking outfit, complete with neon green mask and a purple-ish cape.
Yeah, definitely different. Definitely attention-grabbing.
But Cool?
Funny?
Professional?
JOSH ALLEN DELIVERS FULL-THROATED UNSOLICITED DEFENSE OF BUFFALO BILLS' HIDEOUS NEW UNIFORMS
Definitely not professional. Derrick Henry is going into the Hall of Fame some day and will go down as perhaps the franchise's greatest player while it played in Tennessee.
He didn't show up to any games looking like this.
But Chestnut, a special teams player and third-stringer at running back, does the look-at-me thing pregame.
His teammate Alontae Taylor showed up to the game wearing a black and white Louis Vuitton scarf over a black baseball cap over his head.
Louis Vuitton is a thing for many athletes. It's expensive and makes a statement.
But the statement Taylor seemed to be making from the look of him is he's channeling Little Red Riding Hood without the red.
And, we get it, some folks are going to love the personality showing through. Some people will defend a man's attempt to be, well, different.
But the other side to this is these guys are making statements while showing up for work. For work. This is not on a night out on Broadway.
And they definitely are not reading the room.
That's because the Titans are a pretty bad team. They started the season with a 23-10 loss to the Jets. The quarterback Cam Ward is under fire for not playing well. There are already questions about new coach Robert Saleh because he just lost to his old team that fired him.
And in that environment, these guys are showing up to the game looking kind of ridiculous. Again, one person's opinion.
Correction: Not one person's opinion.
When the outfits hit social media Sunday morning, many Titans fans cringed. Some reactions:
"Man, I'm starting to hate our team fr."
"These dudes putting more effort into their pregame fits than the on field product… it sucks feeling that we as fans care more than the players at times. Idk man."
"We about to get smoked."

The Titans better perform against the Eagles. If they don't, there may be fair questions about whether players are fully focused on doing their jobs or are spending more time than is wise on pre-game outfits.
That alone makes the decision to wear this stuff wrong.
If you're pregame outfit can be used against the team as proof there's not enough attention to detail or the game plan, the decision to wear the attention-seeking outfit was wrong.
If players are spending extra time on dumb stuff like picking out these outifts, and they obviously are, then the outfit thing is probably the wrong thing to do.
Why Trump zeroed in on Greenland, the world’s largest island, mostly covered in ice — in 3 charts
President Donald Trump’s Greenland push has moved from threats to a new security agreement with Denmark and Greenland that he says will give the United States "permanent control" over the island’s security and allow Washington to expand its military presence there.
The agreement still requires approval from Danish and Greenlandic lawmakers. Its full terms have not been made public, but officials say it would leave Greenland under Danish sovereignty while barring China, Russia and other non-NATO adversaries from establishing military bases or making certain sensitive investments on the island.
TRUMP THREATENS TARIFFS ON COUNTRIES OPPOSING GREENLAND TAKEOVER PLANS
Greenland rarely draws global attention. But as Arctic ice melts and great powers compete for influence, the world’s largest island has become a strategic prize. A semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, Greenland is home to a key U.S. military base and sits near emerging shipping routes and critical mineral deposits.
Greenland’s roughly 56,000 residents are spread across five municipalities, with most living in small coastal towns. About 80% of the island is covered by an ice sheet, leaving much of its vast interior uninhabited. Despite its small population, Greenland is nearly the size of Alaska and Texas combined.
Its location off Canada’s northeastern coast places Greenland at the heart of Arctic defense planning. The U.S. has maintained a military outpost in northwestern Greenland since 1953 at Pituffik Space Base, now operated by the U.S. Space Force. Russia also maintains military installations in the region, while China has sought greater access since declaring itself a "near-Arctic state" in 2018.
Retreating Arctic ice is opening shipping lanes around the island that could shorten trade routes between North America, Europe and Asia.
The changing landscape has also drawn attention to Greenland’s rare earth elements and other critical minerals used in technology, renewable energy and military systems.
CHINA’S GRIP ON RARE-EARTH MAGNETS COULD CRUSH US DRONE INDUSTRY BEFORE IT GROWS
Rare earth elements are especially important in high-performance magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, generators and precision-guidance systems. They are also used in missile guidance, radar, sonar, satellites and advanced aircraft.
China dominates the global rare-earth supply chain, accounting for roughly 60% of mining and more than 90% of processing capacity. As the U.S. and European Union seek to reduce their reliance on Beijing, Greenland has emerged as a potential counterweight.
Trump’s agreement may fall short of his earlier goal of bringing Greenland under U.S. control, but it could still give Washington a larger military and strategic foothold in the Arctic.
As competition over shipping routes, defense positioning and critical minerals intensifies, Greenland’s importance is likely to grow.
Christine Taylor’s ‘Hey Dude’ salary was far lower than castmates remembered
Christine Taylor is looking back at her early Hollywood career — and revealing that her "Hey Dude" salary was far lower than her castmates remembered.
During an appearance on "The Secret World of Alex Mack" actress Natanya Ross’ "We’re Still Here, Babe" podcast Wednesday, Taylor — who played Melody Hanson on Nickelodeon’s Western comedy series from 1989 to 1991 — said she earned approximately $3,500 per episode by the show’s final season.
"By the time ‘Hey Dude’ ended, we had this discussion among our castmates, and everyone seemed to think [that] by the last season, we were making $5,000 an episode," Taylor said.
"No, we were making $3,500 an episode, I’m pretty sure, because they would bump us up $500 every season," she added.
Taylor said all of the cast members earned the same amount, despite her co-stars’ shared belief that they were making $5,000 per episode.
"Everyone in their brain was like, ‘$5,000.’ I was like, ‘No way, no way. That would have… no, it did not happen,’" she recalled.
The actress said she was careful with the money she earned while working on the popular children’s series. She also credited her family with helping her financially as she moved to Los Angeles and pursued acting.
JENNIE GARTH ADMITS ‘SCARY’ FINANCIAL SPIRAL AFTER ‘90210’ FAME
Taylor remembered budgeting closely, using laundromats and monitoring her spending during the early stages of her career.
The actress went on to appear in "Saved by the Bell," "Blossom" and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" before landing her breakout role as Marcia Brady in "The Brady Bunch Movie."
‘BRADY BUNCH’ STAR SHARES THE SIMPLE WORD THAT SAVED HER FROM HOLLYWOOD TRAPS
Taylor also revealed that she was asked to lose 10 pounds before playing the iconic character in the 1995 film.
"Of course, I was embarrassed when that ask came my way," she said, adding that the request reflected the attitudes of the 1990s and "would never happen today."

Taylor later starred alongside her husband, Ben Stiller, in films, including "Zoolander" and "DodgeBall." The couple married in 2000, separated in 2017 and later reconciled. They share two children, Ella and Quinlin.

Taylor’s experience is part of a broader pattern in Hollywood, where a recognizable television role does not always guarantee financial security. Several former television stars have revealed that their salaries and residual checks were dramatically different from what audiences assumed.

"The Sopranos" star Drea de Matteo recently said she was forced to find alternative income after acting work slowed down. The actress revealed that she turned to OnlyFans after facing financial difficulties and a lien on her home.
During an appearance on Jamie Kennedy’s podcast, de Matteo said she earned enough through the platform to pay off a $75,000 lien within 75 minutes of posting a bikini photo. She also said she sometimes earned approximately $100,000 per month.

"I was not — people think I’m made of f---ing money," de Matteo said. "Everyone sees me coming, they’re like, ‘Here comes that rich b---- from ‘The Sopranos.’ And it’s like, no, I’m not at all."
More recently, "Married... with Children" star Ted McGinley revealed that he receives extremely small residual checks from some of his popular television projects, despite starring in long-running shows.
In an interview with Page Six, McGinley — who also found fame on "Happy Days" and "The Love Boat" throughout the 1970s, ’80s and '90s — said he's holding on to a "whole stack" of checks each worth a total of one penny.
"I’ve been getting residuals all the time," said McGinley, who admitted the checks become smaller and smaller as the years go by.
While McGinley doesn't bother to cash the small checks, he can't get himself to toss them either. The actor said he more than likely has a total of $2 worth of checks.
Obama criticizes Trump on approach to AI, escalates warning for stronger regulation
Former President Barack Obama criticized President Donald Trump's approach to artificial intelligence on Friday, calling for stronger federal regulation as the technology rapidly advances and concerns grow over safety, jobs and human control.
"The challenge we have is that, obviously, we have a president currently that has said that’s for losers," Obama said during an appearance at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. "So we’ve got a gap of at least a couple of years, where things are moving really fast, and we have an administration that is not capable of or willing to — I would argue both — putting together a serious regulatory framework."
Obama's remarks expanded on a warning he issued last week, when he privately urged Democrats to make AI a central political issue.
DEMOCRATS EMBRACED AI’S GROWTH BEFORE TRUMP CAME ALONG — NOW THEY WANT TO SLOW IT DOWN
RNC member and Humans First Chairwoman Amy Kremer told Fox News Digital last week that policymakers should recognize AI’s risks without handing greater control to Washington or the technology companies themselves.
"You don't have to agree on politics to recognize reality: AI is moving incredibly fast, and policymakers need to understand both the opportunities and the very real risks that come with it," she said.
"Where I likely disagree with President Obama is on what government should do about it. The answer isn't handing Washington bureaucrats more control, and it certainly isn't allowing Big Tech to write the rules that govern itself," she said.
"We need guardrails that protect Americans while allowing American innovation to lead the world. That means protecting children, workers and our national security, while making sure China doesn't win the AI race," she continued.
AI 'DOOMERS' RISK KNEECAPPING US VS CHINA, BUT EX-PENTAGON VET SAYS BOTH EXTREMES MISS THE MARK
The debate shifted again Saturday when Trump announced the creation of an "AI Force" and said he plans to appoint an AI czar, while reiterating that his administration would resist efforts to slow development as the United States competes with China.
"We will not in any way hinder or stifle the Growth of this incredible Industry," Trump said in a lengthy Truth Social post.
Obama, speaking during Colgate’s Family Weekend, argued that relying on companies’ financial incentives and potential liability was insufficient to manage the risks posed by increasingly capable AI systems.
"[The] government has to be regulating this!" Obama said. "I heard one of Donald Trump’s main advisors on this make the argument that, ‘The market will take care of it. These companies will solve the safety issues because they have every incentive to do so — if it turns out to be dangerous, people will just sue them, and they’re worried about financial liability.’ That’s not how we treat airlines! Or drug companies, or food companies."
Kremer told Fox News Digital that she felt Obama was "directing his criticism at the wrong branch of government."
"It is not the president's job to write laws. That responsibility belongs to Congress, and Congress needs to act," Kremer said.
"We need serious guardrails for artificial intelligence, but this should not become another partisan fight over Donald Trump or Barack Obama. AI is moving too quickly and the stakes are too high for that. Congress must do its job and establish clear, enforceable rules that protect our children, American workers, our national security, and our communities while allowing American innovation to continue," she added.
Kremer also said that Republicans should lead the framework for AI.
"Republicans should also recognize that if we fail to lead on this issue, we leave a political opening for the left to define the debate and write the rules. Conservatives should be leading with a framework that protects Americans, preserves innovation, respects states' rights and local control, and holds Big Tech accountable. We should not cede this issue to Democrats simply because some people believe any guardrail is anti-innovation," she said.
TRUMP’S DATA CENTER PUSH FRACTURES CONGRESS AS LOCAL ANGER EXPLODES: 'GRASPING AT STRAWS'
"Voluntary commitments from the AI companies themselves are not sufficient. The companies developing the most powerful technology in the world cannot also be the only ones deciding whether that technology is safe," Kremer said.
Obama's characterization of the administration came as the White House has pursued its own AI policy framework, though one focused heavily on encouraging development and limiting regulations it considers burdensome.
The Trump administration unveiled a national legislative framework in March addressing child safety, free speech, workforce issues and energy costs while calling for a consistent national approach to AI policy.
Trump also signed a national security directive in June ordering agencies to accelerate adoption of advanced AI while requiring systems used in national security settings to be "robust, steerable, controllable" and subject to clear lines of accountability.
The disagreement has intensified as executives inside the AI industry themselves call for additional safeguards. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged companies last week to slow the pace of improvements to frontier models, while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk expressed support for greater caution.

A California animal rescue operator is facing up to 24 1/2 years in state prison after being charged with 35 felonies and misdemeanors for alleged cruelty to animals, as she is accused of leaving roughly 300 animals living in severe squalor.
Christine De Anda, 57, operator of the "Rock ‘N’ Pawz" rescue, faces 12 felony counts of animal cruelty, two felony counts of grand theft of labor, and 21 misdemeanor charges ranging from failure to provide care to operating an unlicensed kennel, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
Prosecutors requested that her bail be set at $914,500 ahead of her arraignment at the Antelope Valley Courthouse.
"For someone who calls herself an animal rescuer, there’s a fundamental responsibility to protect and care for the animals entrusted to her," Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said. "Instead, purported rescuer Christine De Anda allegedly left these animals to suffer or die from starvation, dehydration, untreated injuries and painful urine and fecal burns in filthy conditions."
"After repeated citations and warnings, Ms. De Anda continued taking in animals she could not care for, leaving hundreds to endure prolonged suffering," Hochman added. "These animal victims cannot speak for themselves and look to us to protect them. My office will hold their victimizer fully accountable for her inhumane actions."
The charges stem from a March 20, 2026, search warrant executed by Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control (DACC). Investigators removed more than 300 animals — primarily dogs, but also cats, a pig, a rabbit, a goose and two goats — in what DACC Director Marcia Mayeda called the "largest companion animal search warrant and rescue operation ever conducted" in the department’s history.

"More than 300 animals were removed from severely inhumane conditions," Mayeda said. "Animals were living in and saturated with their own excrement, had serious untreated illnesses and injuries, were emaciated, and were forced to live in small crates without adequate room to properly lie comfortably. Our teams have worked tirelessly to stabilize them, provide the medical care they needed, and help them recover."
At least one cat was found dead from starvation and dehydration at the start of the investigation, authorities said.
"Sadly, despite all efforts, we were unable to save every animal due to the extent of their illnesses and injuries," Mayeda added. "DACC is deeply grateful for the support of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles, Pasadena Humane and Kern County Animal Services for assisting us with this rescue and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for its commitment to pursuing justice for these animals."
The L.A. County DA's Office shared a video on YouTube of the animals at the shelter, showing the conditions that led to the charges.
Prosecutors say De Anda continued to take in an increasing number of animals despite years of citations and warnings regarding her inability to care for them. She is accused of violating multiple county codes, including operating an animal kennel without required land-use approval, maintaining unsanitary conditions and having structures with unpermitted construction, plumbing, electrical and grading work.
Rutgers' Greg Schiano crashes out on official after costly penalty in tough loss to USC
Rutgers was very, very close to pulling off an all-time upset against No. 12 USC on Saturday.
If it wasn’t for an ill-timed Pick Six in the third quarter and a questionable illegal substitution penalty, the Trojans may have been under the microscope a bit more Sunday morning. In the midst of the Scarlet Knights’ defeat, head coach Greg Schiano had one of the wilder crash outs of the year.

USC had the ball and was trying to drive down the field to get another score that likely would have sent more of the fans in Piscataway, New Jersey, home early. The referees called a play dead over an inadvertent whistle that set up another third-down play. It would have been 3rd-and-7 from USC’s own 28-yard line. But Rutgers was called for an illegal substitution that moved the ball up a few more yards.
Needless to say, Schiano was irate.
He was seen on the CBS broadcast giving one of the side judges an earful. One of his assistants tried desperately to keep Schiano off the field as he got animated. Schiano ended up knocking down the field marker in his tantrum.

USC quarterback Jayden Maiava threw an incomplete pass to force a fourth down. But he completed a 32-yard pass on his next attempt to keep the drive alive. USC would turn the ball over on downs but Rutgers couldn’t get anything together on their next possession.
The Trojans and Scarlet Knights traded touchdowns on their next two drives respectively. USC would hang on for the 42-35 win.
It was one of the best games Rutgers played all season after being trounced by UMass to start the year and then suffering a defeat against Boston College. The Scarlet Knights had 460 total yards in the loss. Quarterback Dylan Lonergan had three touchdowns and two interceptions.
USC’s King Miller rushed for 102 yards and a score.
The Trojans remained undefeated at 4-0 but have a lot to clean up if they think they’re going to be playoff bound by the time December rolls around.
