Colbert wins Emmy after show's cancellation but avoids discussing Trump
The White House on Tuesday denied President Donald Trump had any role in CBS' decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," after the former late-night host dodged a question about Trump following his Emmy win in Los Angeles and defended the state of free speech.
Colbert's former program won Outstanding Variety Series at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards Monday, months after "The Late Show" aired its final episode in May.
When asked after the ceremony about free speech and the future of late-night television, Colbert said he remained optimistic about the medium.
"If you can’t say something because you go to jail, that is a violation of free speech," Colbert said. "I think that late night is just as funny and just as vital as it ever has been, and I love watching Jimmy and Jimmy and John and John and Seth and everybody else. And I think I hope it goes on for a long time because you get to work with people like this, and that’s the greatest gift."
STEPHEN COLBERT EMERGES FROM CANCELLATION TO URGE EMMY VOTERS TO SELECT JIMMY KIMMEL OVER OWN SHOW
White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital the administration had nothing to do with the network’s decision.
"Neither President Trump nor anyone else in the Administration had anything to do with this," Ingle said, in a Tuesday statement to Fox News Digital. "The reality is Stephen Colbert is a pathetic trainwreck with no talent, which is exactly why CBS canceled his show and is booting him off the airwaves."
When CNN correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister asked Colbert directly whether he believed his show had been canceled because of Trump, the comedian appeared to repeatedly deflect rather than answer the question.
Variety reported that the exchange came during a post-Emmys interview with Wagmeister and Variety co-president and co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.
COLBERT LASHES OUT AT CBS, SAYS CANCELLATION ‘REINFORCED A NARRATIVE’ OF ‘KNEE BENDING’ TO TRUMP
"What... Gayle, that’s a beautiful dress," Colbert said. After the reporter repeated the question, Colbert continued the bit. "Oh, I’m sorry, I’m deaf on this ear. What did you... what did you say?" Colbert said.
When they again attempted to ask whether Trump was responsible for the cancellation, Colbert deflected once more. "You wanted to know who the most important member of my staff was? It’s me," Colbert said.
Media Research Center President David Bozell told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that Colbert’s refusal to address the Trump question stood in contrast to the speculation surrounding the cancellation and pointed to CBS’ financial rationale for ending the show.
"Colbert suddenly does not want to talk about Trump? That’s rich. Obviously, Trump did not cancel his show," he said. "CBS looked at the audience, looked at the bill, and decided the joke had run long enough."
CBS announced in July 2025 that it would end "The Late Show" franchise after Colbert's 25-26 season, calling the move "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night." The network said the decision was unrelated to the show's performance, content or other matters involving then-parent company Paramount.
The announcement came three days after Colbert attacked Paramount over its $16 million settlement with Trump involving a "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Colbert characterized the agreement as a payoff connected to Paramount’s pending merger with Skydance Media.
"I believe this kind of complicated financial sentiment with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It’s ‘big fat bribe,’ because it all comes as Paramount’s owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner, Skydance!" Colbert said at the time.

Fox News Digital reported that Colbert's manager, James Dixon, had been informed June 27 that CBS intended to end the show, before Paramount announced the Trump settlement and more than two weeks before Colbert publicly attacked the agreement. "The Late Show" had been losing roughly $40 million annually.
The FCC approved Paramount's $8 billion merger with Skydance one week after CBS announced the cancellation. The transaction later closed in August 2025.
Trump continued criticizing Colbert after the program’s May finale, calling the former CBS host talentless and celebrating his departure from late-night television.
Fox News Digital reached out to CBS-Paramount for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.
Man with an unbelievably swollen face arrested after Wichita golf course brawl involving club used as weapon
A Kansas man spent the weekend in jail after he got into a nasty brawl with three other men on a golf course on Friday evening. His trip to the county jail came after a visit to a local hospital.
He might have been the one that ended up in handcuffs, but he wasn't the only one dishing out the damage. The entire side of his face ended up being a swollen mess in a picture taken by the jail.
Scott Denning, 52, of Winfield, Kansas was booked early Saturday morning into the Sedgwick County Jail for aggravated assault, aggravated battery, assault, battery, and criminal damage to property, reports Kake News.

According to the Wichita Police Department, officers responded to the Arthur B. Sim Golf Course around 6:20 pm on Friday for a disturbance. Denning and three Wichita men had been involved in a brawl.
The preliminary investigation found that Denning had approached the three men to apologize for an errant shot. An argument took place followed by a physical altercation.
As you can see, Denning was on the receiving end of some of that physical altercation. His face is unbelievably swollen. But he wasn’t the only one hurt in the exchange, according to police.
A 38-year-old Wichita man was knocked unconscious at some point. Police say the other two Wichita men, 28 and 52, were chased with a golf club and one of them was hit in the head with it.
"Investigators were told the 52-year-old Winfield man then chased the 28-year-old and 52-year-old Wichita men while armed with a golf club, striking the 52-year-old Wichita man in the head," Wichita Police Department's release said.
Does that mean the apology for the errant shot wasn't accepted? It certainly seems that's the case. Denning was treated at the hospital before being booked into jail on a $50,000 bond.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Denning remained in the Sedgwick County Jail. There were no other arrests and the investigation, reports Kake News, is ongoing.
Florida State fans pining for Jimbo Fisher's return are living in the past, not in reality
Congratulations, Seminoles fans, part one of your master plan to return to the pantheon of college football has been completed.
For those unaware, Florida State fired their embattled athletic director, Michael Alford, earlier this week.
The reason that's so significant is multifaceted, but his main transgression and the thing that ultimately lost him his job was the recent skid of the once-proud FSU football team.
And that all ties back to a decision Alford made back in 2024, when he gifted head coach Mike Norvell a massive contract extension with an almost absurd buyout.
The monetary numbers were questionable, even at a time when Norvell and the Noles were trending in the right direction, but since then, the program has taken a sharp downturn, punctuated by an 8-18 record since their ACC Championship winning season in 2023.
DID ALABAMA DOOM THEMSELVES TO MEDIOCRITY WITH KALEN DEBOER EXTENSION?
So, now that Alford is sunk, the man he chose to anchor himself to has to be on the way out as well, right?
In theory, yes, but there's still that pesky buyout number that keeps getting brought up.
And then there's the other question that gets raised whenever schools even think about firing their current head coach: who can we hire?
There are a ton of quality names out there that the Seminoles should absolutely consider as their next head coach, but one of the only names I keep seeing tossed around by fans on social media is former Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher.
KEEP AN EYE ON THESE UNDER-THE-RADAR NAMES DURING THIS SEASON'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHING CAROUSEL
I get it.
Things are brutal right now in Tallahassee, and Noles fans are just trying to cling onto something from the good old days, but I'm not so sure if Fisher is the answer.
Let's start with his age.
Fisher turns 61 in October, and while plenty of great coaches have had phenomenal seasons well into their 60s and 70s, the former FSU and Texas A&M head man hasn't donned a headset in three years, which might as well be dog years given how different the game of college football looks now.
Speaking of Texas A&M, Fisher's last stop as a head coach with the Aggies left a lot to be desired.
While in College Station, Fisher compiled a 45-25 record, which is fine, but definitely not what he was hired to do.
His five and a half years as the Aggies' head coach was marred by inconsistent offenses and power struggles, as his inability to hand over the controls on offense before it was too late is partially what led to his demise.
One of the reasons Fisher left the confines of Tallahassee - where he had won a national championship - for Texas A&M was (allegedly) the fact that Florida State would not meet his demands for more resourcing.
The Aggies are one of the most well-resourced football programs in America, and the fact that he was never able to even make an SEC Championship Game shouldn't inspire confidence.
I doubt the Seminoles are in a position, financially speaking, to give Fisher the funds he needs to compete on the national stage, and even if they do, would he be able to wind back the clocks and have FSU looking like the mid 2010s version of themselves?
As I said earlier, I totally get it.
As a Gator fan, when things were coming to a merciful end with Billy Napier, I started to talk myself into the idea of Urban Meyer coming home and coaching Florida again.
But being realistic, that would have never worked.
Meyer flamed out at his final stop in Jacksonville and he was nearly a decade removed from coaching in college football.
Florida State needs to move forward, not backward.
Find a hot, up-and-coming coach that will thrust the Seminoles into the modern era of college football.
Just off the top of my head, a guy like Boise State's Spencer Danielson would be a home run hire to get the Noles back to where they want to be.
But, of course, Florida State needs to find a new AD first.
Then, after that, they have to actually fire Norvell, a prospect that might not be as simple as just pulling the plug given his exorbitant buyout.
There are a lot of problems in Tallahassee right now, but there are plenty of solutions as well.
I'm not so sure hiring Jimbo Fisher is one of them.
EXCLUSIVE: Inside Vance's intimate Capitol Hill huddle as Republicans confront tough midterm terrain
EXCLUSIVE: Vice President JD Vance energized Republicans during a huddle on Capitol Hill Tuesday where he urged lawmakers to "kick a--" in the 49 days before the midterm elections, according to audio obtained by Fox News Digital from a person in the room.
He wants members of Congress who are on the campaign trail to tell Americans how Trump administration's policies benefit them daily.
"There's people out there right now whose lives are going to get better, or their lives are going to get worse based on whether we're in the majority or whether we're in the minority," Vance told the Republican lawmakers in spelling out the stakes of the 2026 midterms.
"There are going to be people who are going to be poorer. Who are going to be less able to afford their prescription drugs, who are going to be less safe in the homes in their neighborhoods if the other guys get the majority," he continued. "And there are people who are going to be able to walk down the street in safety if you guys keep the majority. If we keep the majority together."
Specifically, Vance told incumbents to hammer home the issue of crime, noting that the homicide rate has reached a 126-year low. Vance explained that in a country of 330 million people, that crime stat translates to "thousands of people," including mothers and fathers, who are coming home to their families instead of being victims of deadly crimes.
FBI REPORTS LARGEST DROP IN VIOLENT CRIME AND MURDER SINCE 1937 AS HOMICIDES FALL MORE THAN 18%
"There are tens of thousands of children who will come home tonight and work on their homework with mom or dad, rather than a stranger, because of what we've been able to do in supporting law enforcement," Vance said in the closed-door meeting.
"This is not an abstraction, ladies and gentlemen," the vice president continued. "This is not about what you see on CNN or Fox News. This is not whether someone with an 'R' or a 'D' next to their name wins. This is about whether the American people in this country that we love have a government that they deserve, that protects them, that fights for them, or whether they have a government that treats them as a means to end."
Fox News Digital caught up with Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., after the meeting.
"I think he did a great job," the congressman said. "He's very good. He's very personable."
"He's got some kind of voodoo thing going on where he remembers everybody's dadgum name," Burchett told Fox News Digital. "It kind of freaks me out a little bit. But, I mean, every time I've run into him — I remember one time I was waiting in line to go to the bathroom and he walked out of the bathroom. 'Hey, Tim, what's going on?' I invited him to a [University of Tennessee] game."
Vance offered some campaign tips to the lawmakers while ribbing the political consulting class for sometimes being out of touch, and saying "the American people are not dumb."
He said voters understand President Donald Trump and his administration inherited problems, including inflation, massive debt and "a country that was weaker on the national stage."
"They know that Rome wasn't built in a day," he said.
THE ONE LINE FROM JD VANCE’S GOP KEYNOTE THAT REVEALS HIS VISION FOR AMERICA
The vice president directed members to "pound the pavement" in their home districts to personally connect with as many voters as possible.
Just as importantly, Vance said, Republicans in safe districts who have no real opposition from the left should contribute money to the campaigns of fellow Republicans who are in competitive districts.
"So here's the thing, this is not rocket science. You guys know this better than I do, you know your districts better than I do," Vance said . "We know that most voters, particularly the voters who are open-minded, who are not hardcore partisans, they don't really start paying attention to the election until right about now."
THUNE-ALIGNED GROUPS UNLEASH HISTORIC WAR CHEST TO DEFEND SENATE MAJORITY: 'WINNING MESSAGE'
Vance also spoke fondly of when late Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina joined him in Ohio while he was campaigning for the Senate in 2022.
"I'll never forget this," said Vance. " Lindsey Graham comes out — I didn't know Lindsey Graham at all, and you guys know how the campaign trail is in the final stretches. You wake up in a crappy hotel, you haven't seen your wife, your kids in a few days, and it's a lot more fun when you have some company out there."
"You're telling jokes, you're enjoying it. That energy — people pick up on it. So, get out there and campaign with your friends."
Vance recalled how Graham told him stories that had him "aching with laughter," half of which he said he could not repeat.
Jim Harbaugh shares major regret after Chargers stunning Week 1 loss to Cardinals
Jim Harbaugh had an eye-opening regret after the Los Angeles Chargers' stunning Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
After losing 26-14 to a Cardinals team that many expected to struggle mightily this season, the 62-year-old coach lamented the Chargers' preseason preparation.
"We made some preseason-type of mistakes," Harbaugh said during the team’s press conference on Monday. "Now in retrospect, I wish we’d played our guys a little bit more in the preseason and given them those reps."

The Chargers played their starters for brief stints in the team’s second and third preseason games, but clearly that wasn’t enough. Last season, the 3-14 Cardinals allowed 20.9 points per game, which was tied for 21st in the NFL with the Washington Commanders, but looked much better on Sunday.
Against a team that lost their last nine games last season, the Chargers' offense scored just two touchdowns in the loss. The offense sputtered after losing Ladd McConkey to an injury in the third quarter.
Prior to leaving the game, McConkey recorded five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. Harbaugh said the star wide receiver is day to day with a rib injury.

The Chargers trailed by just two points when the former Georgia star left the game, and they did not score after McConkey’s departure.
In the loss, the Chargers had a blocked punt, an interception and another drive that ended with a turnover on downs. After the game on Sunday, Harbaugh called the performance sloppy.
"Some uncharacteristic things happened. Give (the Cardinals) credit for making them happen," Harbaugh said on Sunday. "I would call it sloppy at times. Too sloppy. That’s something we need to get fixed."
The Chargers will look to fix their mistakes when the play the Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) at home at 4:25 p.m. EST on Sunday.

Roman Reigns survives Penta's World Heavyweight Championship challenge, LA Knight makes a statement of his own
Roman Reigns and Penta put on an instant classic in Mexico City and it was one of the best "Monday Night Raw" matches of the year.
Penta was challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship after winning a No. 1 contender tournament, defeating several Luchadores for a shot at Roman Reigns. The champion came into the bout successfully defending his title against any opponent from Jacob Fatu to Seth Rollins after winning it at WrestleMania 42 over CM Punk.

Penta had all of Mexico in his corner from the jump. He came out wearing a headdress to put an exclamation point on his already riveting entrance. He knew it would take everything he had to take the belt off Reigns and that the "Tribal Chief" wasn’t going to make it easy for him.
Reigns let Penta come to him for the most part. He tried to slow down the match as much as he could. The match changed in Penta’s favor after performing The Sacrifice on Reigns’ right arm. Reigns was obstructed from doing his usual moves without feeling any pain. He persevered through it and kicked out of a Penta Driver and a Mexican Destroyer in the process.
Penta’s lone mistake was going for a high-risk move toward the end of the match. He was met with a Superman punch. Reigns flopped into the corner and waited for the right moment to strike with a spear. He connected and pinned Penta for the win.
The crowd in Mexico City was absolutely heartbroken as Reigns crushed the dreams of their hero. Penta went up the ramp in disbelief as "Monday Night Raw" went off the air.
It didn’t take long for Reigns’ next opponent to make a statement.

WWE posted clips on social media showing LA Knight walking to the ring. Reigns grabbed the microphone and began to talk when Knight hit him with a BFT.
Knight will be facing Reigns next at Money in the Bank on Oct. 10. Raw general manager Adam Pearce made it official on Tuesday after Knight came to him and said he was next in line.
As Reigns walked to the back on Monday night, he sent a message to Knight.
"This is what I'm talking about. I'm sick and tired of it," Reigns said. "All these beggars. You want it? If he wants it, he can get it. Money in the Bank. New Orleans. Down south I'm going to whoop his b---h a--."
It’s taken a while for Knight to get back into a No. 1 contender slot. But he’s managed to do it and now gets a real opportunity to leave New Orleans with some gold in the fall.
Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz's 'effective altruism' network tied to AI regulation push
Concerns about artificial intelligence spelling doom for the human race are being linked to a "cult-like" philanthropy movement known as "effective altruism" supported by billionaire Democratic megadonor and Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, according to a policy analyst.
In response to former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon’s resignation announcement on X, Parker Thayer, an investigative researcher at Capital Research Center in Washington D.C., went viral as he raised questions about whether the resignation was part of a broader network that aims to influence lawmakers and AI policy.
"I resigned from Anthropic today," Coxon’s post read. "I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives."
Thayer quoted the post in a response that received interaction online with top lawmakers in Congress, including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
"This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion," Thayer posted. "The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting."
Thayer echoed claims made by White House AI advisor David Sacks that AI fears are overblown and potentially based on political motives.
"I think this is becoming a panic," Sacks told CBS News correspondent Jo Ling Kent. "We're in an election season, and there is an incentive for political actors to try and amplify the fear. And I think this is a moment to really calm down a little bit and look at the issue rationally."
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: YES, WE MUST HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON ON AI BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
Coxon told Fox News’ Bret Baier last week that we are "on the doorstep of tremendous discoveries," but are running in too quickly. He emphasized the need for moderation.
Baier asked Coxon if the issue could be figured out.
"I think definitely. I think if we actually try instead of submitting to the inevitability of a doomed race or a hubristic gamble, then we can solve it," he said. "The problem is not unsolvable."
TOP MEDIA OUTLETS FAIL TO DISCLOSE WHO IS BANKROLLING THEIR AI REPORTERS
Coxon said he was acting alone when deciding to voice his concerns about the direction of AI, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Fox News Digital sat down with Thayer to ask about his theories concerning the coordination behind Coxon's "sophisticated" resignation, which was in turn met with a slew of national television interviews and immediate notoriety. Almost overnight, Coxon's post became a major point of policy debate spanning across political parties and politicians, including President Donald Trump and socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Thayer did not offer a theory for which individuals or groups might have coordinated with Coxon, who has denied such claims. But Thayer said the "AI doomerism movement" is associated with "effective altruism," a philosophy he described as "cult-like."
OPINION: REP. TED LIEU: AI IS ALREADY TOO POWERFUL. WE NEED A KILL SWITCH BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES
According to the Centre for Effective Altruism, the movement is defined as a "project that aims to find the best ways to help others and put them into practice."
But Thayer noted that while the philanthropic movement may sound high-minded, Silicon Valley elites and members who donate and support "effective altruism" may have much more direct political goals in mind.
Thayer did not have evidence that any individuals or groups connected to the effective altruism movement provided public relations or other support for Coxon’s post about his resignation.
FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS SEE AI REGULATION AS URGENT, RANK SAFEGUARDS AHEAD OF INNOVATION
Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna have been leading financial backers of organizations associated with the "effective altruism" movement.
The couple founded Coefficient Giving, formerly known as Open Philanthropy, and remain its "main funders," according to the organization. Tuna serves as its president.
Coefficient Giving says its artificial intelligence work has expanded rapidly, with $168 million committed to AI safety, security and field-building in 2024 and $351 million in 2025 — a combined $519 million. The organization says it is on track to commit more than $1 billion to AI policy advocacy in 2026.
In a 2021 grant application description, the organization cited that it seeks "to fund programs and events in a variety of areas of interest to Coefficient Giving — including effective altruism, global catastrophic risks, biosecurity, AI for epistemics, forecasting, and other areas."
Moskovitz, who Forbes estimates has a net worth of roughly $10 billion, contributed more than $50 million to support the Biden-Harris campaign from 2020 to 2024, including $46.89 million to the Future Forward PAC, which served as the main fundraising vessel for the failed presidential campaign.
TRUMP UNLOADS ON TECH TITANS PUSHING FOR SLOWDOWN ON EMERGING INDUSTRY: ‘WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS!’
On Monday, the Department of War Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering posted to X: "Americanism, not effective altruism. The United States will continue to be AI DOMINANT!"
As for the reasoning behind "effective altruism’s" commitment to the artificial intelligence policy space, Thayer said the fearmongering technique is comparable to the climate change narrative that has been traditionally peddled by the Democratic Party.
"They basically just say kind of in the same vein as climate change activists like Al Gore used to, they kind of just make bombastic doomsday projections without citing really a whole lot of easily discernible evidence and just expect us to trust their expertise," Thayer explained.
"First, they got you scared of the data centers based on a bunch of sketchy arguments about water pollution supposedly, and supposedly raising your electric prices, which don't seem to actually be true," he added. "And now they're getting you scared of the actual AI that the data centers are being used to launch."
Thayer said that if AI critics were truly afraid of a potential doomsday scenario, they would be advocating for the extinction of artificial intelligence altogether. Instead, he says that it is a tactic to increase the government’s power over the industry while also acting in their own interest so "that they're the only ones who are allowed to build it."
In an opinion piece published in Medium in 2024, Moskovitz noted that he was concerned about the potential risks AI poses, saying that a potential doomsday "situation may develop extremely quickly."
"Contrary to the popular narrative about effective altruists working in AI, my interest in mitigating the potential risks isn’t rooted in specific predictions about the far future, but rather simple concern about the next few decades, when I and the people I care about are still alive to care about what happens," he wrote.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, said a meeting at the White House to discuss AI policy could happen before the end of this week or the next. Trump also weighed in on the AI outlook in a post to Truth Social on Monday.
"The people that say AI is going to destroy the World, and that Data Centers are bad for your neighborhood, are the same people that said, just a short time ago, that the World would be extinguished by "Climate Change." That HOAX never worked out for them, and now they’re on to the next one."
Fox News Digital reached out to Moskovitz, Coefficient Giving and Coxon for comment.
Kamala Harris viciously mocked with resurfaced bumbling 'two words' explanation of AI after desperate call
Former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is being mocked over a resurfaced clip of her "two letters" explanation of artificial intelligence after she posted a call to slow its development.
Harris, who previously served as the Biden administration's AI czar, posted a lengthy statement on AI on Monday. In her post, Harris called for President Donald Trump to "do his job to protect America’s interests by pursuing a treaty with countries like China to stop dangerous uses of AI, limit the speed of its development, and adopt global standards for testing."
In response, social media users recalled Harris’ attempt at explaining AI as vice president in 2023.
"I think the first part of this issue that should be articulated is AI is kind of a fancy thing," Harris said. "First of all, it's two letters. It means artificial intelligence, but ultimately what it is is it's about machine learning."
WATCH: KAMALA HARRIS TORCHED OVER ‘ZERO SENSE’ WNBA PEP TALK IN LATEST ‘WORD SALAD’ MOMENT
She continued, saying, "And so, the machine is taught — and part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine that will then determine — and we can predict then, if we think about what information is going in, what then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process."
"So," she went on even further, "to reduce it down to its most simple point, this is part of the issue that we have here is thinking about what is going into a decision, and then whether that decision is actually legitimate and reflective of the needs and the life experiences of all the people."
After Harris' X post on Monday, conservative influencer "Western Lensman" reposted the 2023 video of Harris, writing, "Kamala Harris on AI when it's not a written statement crafted by a team of consultants."
National security and global economics expert Kyle Bass reacted, "There’s not a chance in hell Kamala wrote this. Have you ever heard her say ‘frontier,’ ‘advancing,’ and ‘intelligence’ in the same sentence? Until now, her misfits had never produced anything this un-Kamala and then posted it on social media."
Columnist S.L. Kanthan wrote, "One of the dumbest women now wants America to voluntarily slow down progress in AI." He posted another video of Harris explaining cloud storage.
Harris said, "No longer are you necessarily keeping those private files in some file cabinet that’s locked in the basement of the house. It’s on your laptop, and it's then, therefore, up here in this cloud, that exists above us, right?"
Author and national security expert Sarah Adams commented on Harris’ AI post, writing, "No one is looking for your thoughts on 'intelligence.'"
Another user, influencer Andrew Aziz, and several others suggested that Harris’ post itself was AI-generated.
In her post, Harris wrote that AI is "advancing at an alarming speed," emphasizing what she characterized as industry leaders’ call to "responsibly slow the pace of frontier AI development."
She wrote that "a slowdown is critical in order to ensure AI serves the public interest," saying, "Pacing AI development does not mean giving up on this technology’s potential to produce life-saving benefits in fields like medicine — some of which we are already seeing. Rather, it is about setting up sensible guardrails so that AI does not completely escape human control and endanger our safety and collective future."
Besides action from Trump, Harris called on Congress to "work at an urgent pace" to provide AI oversight, saying, "The United States must continue to lead the world in developing AI technology even as we seek to impose common-sense safety standards."
Harris is not the only prominent Democrat to have called for increased AI regulation recently. Former President Barack Obama urged Democrats during a private fundraiser in New York City on Thursday to place artificial intelligence near the center of their political agenda ahead of the midterms and the 2028 presidential race while warning that the technology could become dangerous without greater oversight as voters increasingly raise concerns about jobs, privacy and data centers.
"This is something that is moving very fast in private hands, and if we don’t get on top of it, I think can be dangerous," Obama said. "If we do get on top of it, I do think it’s beneficial. I genuinely think it’s going to accelerate, for example, drug development in ways that can help us cure diseases. I do think that this can help us figure out pathways for a clean energy future."
Meanwhile, Trump on Monday rejected growing calls for safeguards and restrictions on AI, declaring that the technology needs a "STRONG AND SMART" president rather than additional restraints.
"The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He suggested that "there is a SICK conspiracy going on against AI and Data Centers, and the only one that is happy about it is China," adding, "WHOEVER WINS AI, WINS! We are leading China, and all others, and will continue to do so."

Introducing OutKick's first original animated series, 'Sports Talk with Cal McCallister'
A lot of really exciting stuff has been happening here at OutKick over the last few weeks.
We’ve got Craig Carton coming on board with a show, and a bunch of new features like OutKick Outdoors, OutKick Dropkick, and OutKick University getting up and running and hitting their stride.
So it’s a great time to introduce you to OutKick’s first original animated series, "Sports Talk with Cal McCallister."
Take a look at the trailer (which features narration from the great Dan Dakich):
We’ve got a batch of animated shorts that you’ll be able to see over the next couple of months, featuring Cal McCallister, a radio legend and doddering old curmudgeon with decades of experience on the airwaves.
He has plenty of hot takes to dish out, but winds up spending most of his time mixing it up with his callers and trying to keep his show on the rails with the help of his producer/grandson, Jody.
The first of these will debut Wednesday on the OutKick YouTube channel and on social media.
Yes, like tomorrow. That Wednesday.
There will be eight of these episodes, and I’m proud to say that each one was made the old-fashioned way: me sitting at my desk, drawing on my wife’s old iPad that I commandeered (with her permission).
See? Just the way Tex Avery used to do it… Don’t fact-check that.
Countless hours since last December were spent writing scripts, doing voices, writing and composing pieces of original music, editing, and, of course, animating.
While I was a one-man shorts-producing operation (albeit a very smart and handsome one), I couldn’t truly get the job done alone. I got some big help behind the scenes to get this all ready for release, and you’ll also hear some familiar OutKick voices.
I hope you enjoy watching them as much as we did making them.

Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS Unlocks $1k Deposit Match for Today's MLB Games
One of the best things about baseball is that they play every day. With football, we have to wait a few days between games; hockey and basketball have a few games per day. Baseball, with 162 games, sees teams playing six days per week normally. That provides tons of betting options for new and veteran sports bettors. New Underdog users can use promo code FOXNEWS to unlock a $1,000 bonus match for the MLB games tonight.
In the middle of this postseason race, there are plenty of reasons to watch these games and see what happens. Most of the National League divisions are already secured, but the Wild Card race still has some intrigue. The American League has virtually every race still up in the air.
It is likely that the Rays, Yankees, and Red Sox make the postseason in some order, but the Astros, Rangers, Guardians, Blue Jays, Orioles, and White Sox are all fighting for two division spots and one Wild Card entry.
No matter what you choose to bet on for tonight’s slate, you can lock up a great offer from Underdog. Use promo code FOXNEWS after opening a new account and receive a deposit match of up to $1,000 in bonus bets. Get in on the MLB action before the postseason gets here!
The Brewers hurler is in line to take home the first of likely many Cy Young Awards. One of the main reasons for the success the Brewers have had this year is thanks to Jacob Misiorowski. For the year, Misiorowski is 14-5 with a 1.95 ERA, 236 strikeouts, and a 0.80 WHIP. His ERA, strikeouts, and WHIP are first in baseball. He has been a bit worse on the road than at home this season, but his 2.39 road ERA is something any pitcher would take. This will be his second start against the Pirates this season. In his first, he went six innings and allowed six hits, three earned runs, and struck out nine hitters.
