Todd Chrisley recalls emotional phone call with daughter Savannah after controversial Trump pardon
Todd Chrisley recounted the emotional moment he learned he had been pardoned by President Donald Trump, detailing the tearful phone call with his daughter Savannah that changed everything.
"I was crying, and I said, 'Is it true?' And she [Savannah] started crying," Chrisley recalled on the "Hang Out With Sean Hannity" podcast.
The "Chrisley Knows Best" star said he was returning from the prison library when a corrections officer caught up to him, revealing he had been pardoned and would be going home within hours.
"I was so overwhelmed, something just caused me to freeze," he recalled.
Chrisley said his daughter confirmed the news, adding that the president had called her as she was leaving a Sam's Club store.
At that point, her focus had become getting her father and arranging for someone to pick up her mother, Julie, who had also been convicted on federal charges of bank fraud and tax evasion.
"She said, 'I'm trying to get the plane lined up now,'" Chrisley continued, adding that he had instructed Savannah to send her brothers to pick up Julie.
At the time, Savannah had spent years leading the public fight to free her parents, becoming the family's most visible advocate as her parents served a combined 19-year prison sentence.
The couple was pardoned by Trump in May 2025 and walked out of prison after serving about 2.5 years. They have always maintained their innocence.
When speaking to reporters, Savannah previously claimed that her parents' pardon "literally came out of nowhere."
"I was in such shock and awe that the president himself took the time to tell me my family is coming back together," she said.
Chrisley quipped that prison staff members were relieved to learn of his pardon since he and his family had caused such a stir about alleged corruption.
"Even though they were Democrats, they loved President Trump that day because he was getting rid of one of their biggest problems, and that was me."
Exclusive look inside America250 time capsule reveals artifacts preserving US history
From civic records to cultural keepsakes, a literal ton of American history is almost ready for burial in Philadelphia.
Ahead of the nation's historic 250th birthday, "Fox & Friends" got an exclusive look at the final contents of the America250 time capsule — a 900-pound, stainless steel, waterproof vessel housing nearly 200 contributions from across the nation.
"The contents of the time capsule [are] amazing," America250 Chair Rosie Rios shared Monday.
"We wanted to make sure that all three branches of government [were] represented. All 56 parts of our country [are] also represented, so the 50 states, D.C., and the five territories and, of course, everyday Americans are part of this as well."
Capped with a 1,100-pound lid, the waterproof vessel will weigh roughly a ton when it is buried in Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park on July 4, safeguarding a collection of artifacts meant to capture America at this year's milestone anniversary.
Rios described the City of Brotherly Love as a natural choice for the final resting place of the capsule, which will be reopened in 2276.
"It's the birthplace of our country and everyone knows that, in 250 years, that's where you're going to go to have this unburied," she said.
"It's a great location for the appropriate time."
Inside are items that organizers say reflect the nation's history, culture and identity.
Rios highlighted several contributions, including a pocket Constitution signed by the Supreme Court justices, a crystal from the 2026 New Year's Eve ball in Times Square, a message in a bottle from Coca-Cola, an American flag flown at the 2026 Rose Parade and an NFL America250 commemorative coin.
Rios said a capstone and artifacts will be on display in Philadelphia as a reminder that history lies waiting for future Americans.
"We can hope that our great-great-great-great-grandchildren will be able to enjoy this," Rios said.

3 Brazilian men charged after woman tossed from bridge without safety rope
Three men face potential charges after a 21-year-old woman died when rope-jumping instructors allegedly launched her from a bridge without attaching the safety ropes meant to stop her fall, authorities said.
Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, a 21-year-old student, died Saturday during a rope-jumping event at an abandoned bridge about 90 miles northwest of São Paulo, Brazil.
Police investigator Andrea Levy told reporters Monday that the three instructors involved in the jump acknowledged that Rodrigues de Freitas was not connected to any safety equipment before she was launched from the bridge.
"They do not remember whether they forgot to attach [the ropes], or who was supposed to do it, or who failed to check. But the fact is the ropes were not attached to her," Levy said.
COLORADO JURY AWARDS FAMILY $205M AFTER 6-YEAR-OLD FALLS TO DEATH FROM THEME PARK RIDE
The three instructors were arrested following the incident and could face criminal charges, The Associated Press reported.
Brazilian authorities said the three instructors were arrested on suspicion of homicide with "eventual intent," a legal concept under Brazilian law that generally applies when a person is deemed to have accepted the risk that a death could occur. According to Brazilian outlet G1, citing investigators, the instructors were booked on the charge at the scene.
Investigators said Rodrigues de Freitas requested to be launched from the bridge "airplane style," with two instructors lifting her above their shoulders while she stretched out her arms.
CARNIVAL RIDE PASSENGERS LEFT DANGLING IN CARRIAGE AFTER MALFUNCTION AT HIGH SCHOOL EVENT: VIDEO
Video shared online appears to show two helmeted men tossing the young woman from the abandoned bridge moments before the fatal fall. The instructors appear to be wearing harnesses connected to safety lines.
Authorities said Rodrigues de Freitas fell approximately 130 feet.
Brazilian media reported that Rodrigues de Freitas had purchased a guided hiking excursion that included the rope jump from the abandoned bridge.
Rope jumping is an extreme sport that differs from traditional bungee jumping. Instead of elastic cords that create a vertical bounce, rope jumping uses low-stretch climbing ropes designed to transform a fall into a pendulum-like swing.
The City of Limeira identified Rodrigues de Freitas as a resident of Jandira and issued a statement expressing condolences to her family.
"At this moment of pain, the City of Limeira stands in solidarity with the young woman's family, friends and loved ones," municipal officials said in a statement Saturday.

The city said it would cooperate with authorities investigating the incident.
Rodrigues de Freitas was buried Sunday.
Levy told Brazilian television program "Jornal Nacional" that investigators were examining whether the group conducting the jump was authorized to operate at the site. According to G1, Levy said investigators believe a failure to verify the placement of the safety rope contributed to the fatality.
In a statement cited by G1, attorneys for the three instructors said their clients had experience conducting the activity and that the incident was the first fatality during their years of operation.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the apparent safety failure, including who was responsible for ensuring participants were properly secured before jumping.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
South Carolina personal trainer goes missing, last spotted walking toward wooded area
A South Carolina woman vanished last week after she was last seen leaving a Planet Fitness gym and walking toward a nearby wooded area, authorities said.
Elena Katherine Moore, 39, has not been seen since she left the gym in Lexington, a suburb west of Columbia, on Thursday evening, according to the Lexington Police Department.
Authorities said Moore signed in at Planet Fitness around 6:40 p.m. and was later seen walking away from the facility toward a wooded area behind a nearby Lowe's Home Improvement store. She was reported missing the following day.
Moore works as a personal trainer and her sudden absence is "very out of character," police told ABC News.
Investigators on Friday deployed a drone and conducted a preliminary search of the area where Moore was last seen but found no sign of her.
On Monday, Lexington police joined multiple local and state agencies in a more extensive search of wooded areas behind the Lowe's store and Planet Fitness. The operation included assistance from the Lexington County Sheriff's Department, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, Department of Natural Resources and other emergency response agencies.
Police emphasized that the search was not a recovery effort but a methodical attempt to eliminate one possible location where Moore could be.
"No trace of Ms. Moore was found during the operation," Lexington Police Chief Terrence Green said in an update.
Moore is described as a White female standing 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing an olive-green zip-up hoodie and black athletic pants. Investigators said they are uncertain whether she has her cellphone.
Authorities asked anyone with information about Moore's whereabouts to contact detectives at 803-358-7271 or Midlands Crimestoppers.
Trans actor Elliot Page argues 'healthy masculinity' is rejecting expectation to 'shut down'
Transgender actor Elliot Page described "healthy masculinity" as pushing away the impulse to "shut down" emotionally on Thursday.
The 39-year-old "Odyssey" actor was asked on the "It's Open with Ilana Glazer" podcast about healthy masculinity as a public figure and someone on a "gender journey." Page claimed that healthy masculinity was moving away from the "expectation" to be closed off from others.
"Healthy masculinity, to me, is or even just something I’ve felt as, like, transitioning, is like leaning away from whenever there is some sort of impulse or expectation you’ve put on yourself to, like, shut down," Page said. "Or conform in a way that usually feels like ‘this,’ like I am closing off."
'THE VIEW' DISMISSES MORE YOUNG MEN TURNING TO RELIGION AS PART OF 'MANOSPHERE'
Page continued, "I remember kind of being like, ‘Oh, Elliot, maybe you should talk with your hands a little less, or, you know, maybe in pictures you’re...' because ever since transitioning now, I’m like smiling in those photos. Whereas, I used to be so like, I could barely look at a photo of myself. I was always like, you know, and now (smiling)."
Page described seeing a contrast in taking photos with male fans who refused to smile in pictures.
"And I’m, like, having that moment where I’m, like, ‘Oh, should I also not? Should I also be closed off? It’s just like, what the f---, Elliot?' What are you talking about? Like, oh, honey, you’re part of the problem," Page said.
As a general note, Page added that healthy masculinity would also include practical healthy habits like drinking water and greater efforts by men to "love themselves."
LIBERAL AUTHOR TELLS 'THE VIEW' THERE'S 'NO SUCH THING' AS TOXIC MASCULINITY
"And also just, you know, doing what you can to be intentionally and mindfully not letting yourself get swayed or twisted by the rules that I feel like end up leading to so many of the problems that we see that do get inflicted by toxic masculinity, violence and abuse, just general cruelty. I think... healthy masculinity could just mean a really good cry," Page said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Page's representatives for comment.

Page, formerly known as Ellen, came out as transgender in 2020 and began using "he/they" pronouns.
Page previously received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for portraying the title character in the 2007 movie "Juno," about a teenage girl who unexpectedly gets pregnant, and is also known for roles in "Inception" and the "X-Men" movies.
Beckham family drama continues to be messy as David dodges questions while son Brooklyn adds fuel to the fire
Halfway through 2026 and the Beckham family feud still rages on.
Last week, pictures of Harper Beckham surfaced as she attempted to visit her brother's home. According to Page Six, Harper was unsuccessful and left seconds after arriving at Brooklyn Beckham's Beverly Hills home. A source told the outlet that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz, were not home when Harper arrived.
Representatives for Brooklyn and Nicola called Harper's spontaneous visit to their home a moment "choreographed for the cameras."
"That photographers were in place as the letter was hand-delivered says it all — this was choreographed for the cameras," the rep told the outlet.
Harper's visit came after her dad, David Beckham, was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
It was noted that Brooklyn was not in attendance, but his two other sons — Romeo and Cruz — donned big smiles as the soccer star was honored. Victoria and Harper were also in attendance.
The same day David was honored with a star, he shut down interview questions about the ongoing Beckham family feud. Variety published an interview with David on Friday, asking him about the "toll" the media attention has taken on him and his family as they battle an estranged relationship with their oldest son.
"To be honest, I’m sorry to stop you there, but that’s a private matter. That’s the one thing that I don’t want to talk about," David said.
VICTORIA BECKHAM BREAKS SILENCE ON FAMILY FEUD WITH SON BROOKLYN AND HIS WIFE NICOLA PELTZ
On Monday, DoorDash took to Instagram and shared an advertisement with Brooklyn when the 27-year-old made a joke about the "complicated" reason why he did not attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches.
"You’re probably wondering why I’m watching the FIFA World Cup 2026 from home," he said while sitting on the couch.
"It’s a long story," Brooklyn added before tossing World Cup tickets onto the coffee table in front of him. He then got up and walked away as the text, "It’s complicated. More soon," flashed onto the screen.

Harper's visit, David's milestone moment and Brooklyn's DoorDash ad come months after the oldest Beckham child issued a scathing attack on his family via social media.
In January, Brooklyn uploaded a lengthy statement about his relationship with his parents.
"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," Brooklyn began. He said that his parents had gone to the press, which left him with "no choice" but to address the family rift publicly.
"I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family," Brooklyn wrote.

He continued, "For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family [with] performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships. … Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they’ll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade."
Brooklyn went on to say that his parents have "been trying endlessly" to ruin his relationship with Nicola, long before they tied the knot. He exposed intimate moments from his wedding night and accused his family of putting "Brand Beckham" first.
Brooklyn's lengthy statement concluded, "My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press, or manipulation. All we want peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family."
New wheeled robot says no thanks to humanoid hype
The robot race has a familiar look right now. Two legs. A face-like head. A body that tries very hard to look human. Genesis AI is taking a different route with Eno, its first general-purpose robot. Instead of building another humanoid that looks like all the others out there, the company designed a wheeled robot that focuses on work first. That choice may make Eno more useful in the real world.
Genesis AI says Eno combines its full-stack hardware platform with GENE, the company's robotics-native AI brain. That means the company wants Eno to reason through tasks, adjust when conditions change and carry out jobs that go beyond pre-programmed movements.
In other words, Genesis wants Eno to do more than wait for step-by-step instructions. It wants the robot to understand the job and figure out how to get it done.

A WHEELED ROBOT MAY BEAT HUMANOIDS INTO YOUR HOME
A lot of robot companies seem focused on the same idea: build a machine that looks like a person. You can understand why. Our homes, offices, hospitals and factories were all designed around people. But legs bring problems. They add cost, complexity and plenty of ways for something to go wrong.
That is why Eno's wheeled base stands out. Genesis AI says industrial customers actually asked for wheels. That tells you what businesses may care about most. They want a robot that can move reliably through a workspace and get a job done. In places like warehouses, labs and factories, wheels can make a lot of sense. The floors are usually flat. The routes are more predictable. The robot does not need to climb stairs to be useful.
Eno sits on that wheeled base with a tower-like body made of articulated panels. It can adjust its height and reach when needed. It can also fold down when the work is done.
The wheels get attention because they break from the humanoid trend. Still, the hands may decide whether Eno succeeds. Genesis AI says Eno uses proprietary dexterous robotic hands designed to match the form and function of human hands. That could help it interact with tools, doors, handles, buttons and everyday objects already made for people. A robot that can roll into a workspace still needs to grab, twist, lift, press and sort things with precision. Without useful hands, the robot becomes a moving camera with arms.
Genesis AI recently showed off GENE-26.5, its robotic foundation model system. The company says it can support complex physical manipulation, including cooking tasks, lab pipetting, multi-object grasping, and even solving a Rubik's Cube.
One optional feature on Eno could make a big difference for the people working around it: a screen that shows what the robot is thinking and doing in real time.
Think about it. If a robot is moving near you, reaching for objects or changing direction on its own, you probably want some clue about what it plans to do next.
That is where the cognitive interface could help. It could show whether Eno is planning a route, waiting for someone to move or getting ready to pick up an object.
Seeing what Eno is about to do could cut down on guesswork. It could also make the robot feel a little less unsettling in shared spaces.
THE NEW ROBOT THAT COULD MAKE CHORES A THING OF THE PAST
Genesis AI says Eno will start with industrial customers by the end of 2026. The first deployments are expected to focus on manufacturing, logistics companies and laboratories. That rollout makes sense. Industrial settings offer clearer tasks, tighter workflows and more controlled environments than homes.
After that, Genesis AI plans to bring Eno into service settings such as hotels and hospitals. Home and outdoor uses would come later.
That timeline also keeps expectations grounded. A robot that can help stock a production line may arrive long before one that can safely handle laundry, dishes, pets, kids and clutter. Homes are chaotic. Factories at least try not to be.
The phrase "general-purpose robot" sounds simple. The reality is much harder. A factory robot can weld the same part thousands of times. A vacuum robot can map a floor and avoid furniture. A delivery robot can follow a route.
A general-purpose robot has to do more than repeat one job. It has to understand a goal, read the room, use tools and recover when something goes wrong. That is the challenge Genesis AI says GENE is built to handle. The company says the model gives Eno memory, reasoning and the ability to plan multistep tasks over time.
Genesis AI also has high-profile backing behind the robot. Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO and Genesis AI investor, said: "What Genesis is building with Eno is a fundamentally new model for extending human capability through advanced robotics." Schmidt added, "The combination of agentic intelligence, intuitive interaction and the ability to operate alongside people in the physical world creates a system that can help individuals and organizations accomplish more. The breakthrough is not replacing human expertise, but amplifying it — making advanced robotics genuinely useful, accessible, and scalable across industries. That is how we will unlock one of the largest economic opportunities of the AI era."
Eno arrives at a time when robot companies are trying to prove that machines can do more in the physical world with less human direction. Some companies are betting on humanoids. Genesis AI is betting that useful design may beat human-like design.
That choice could resonate with businesses. If a wheeled robot costs less, breaks less often and performs better on flat floors, it may beat a humanoid in many practical settings. The keyword is "if." Genesis AI still has to prove Eno can work reliably with real customers. Demos can show potential. Deployments reveal the hard truth.
BMW PUTS HUMANOID ROBOTS TO WORK BUILDING EVS
For most of us, Eno will not show up in our living rooms anytime soon. You are more likely to see this kind of robot at work before you see it at home. Robots like Eno could start in factories, warehouses, labs, hospitals or hotels. That could affect how products get made, how supplies move and how businesses deal with labor shortages. It also raises some real questions. Who is responsible when a robot makes a bad decision? How much should workers be able to see about what the robot is doing? What data does a workplace robot collect as it moves around people?
The screen idea could help build trust, but it does not solve everything. A robot that can reason through tasks still needs clear limits, strong safety rules and human oversight. The bigger takeaway for you is this: The home robot future may not look like a metal person walking through your kitchen. It may look more like a compact machine on wheels with very capable hands.

What I like about Eno is that it does not seem obsessed with looking human. It skips the legs and the fake face and gets right to the bigger question: Can this thing actually help people get work done? That is where this robot gets interesting. A wheeled robot may not look as flashy as a humanoid, but it could make a lot more sense in the places where robots are likely to show up first. Think factories, labs, warehouses and hospitals. Of course, Genesis AI still has to prove Eno can handle the real world. A demo is one thing. A busy workplace with people, tools, tight spaces and unexpected problems is another. Still, this may be a sign of where home robots are headed. The first truly useful robot in your life may not walk through the front door on two legs. It may roll in on wheels and get straight to work.

Vance shares how he's gearing up for lion's den debut on 'The View'
Vice President JD Vance is set to make his first appearance on ABC's "The View" on Wednesday, becoming just the third sitting vice president to join the daytime talk show's panel.
"It may be the optimist in me, but I just fundamentally think that most people — not everybody, but most people — even if I disagree with them, you ought to try to have a conversation with them," Vance told Fox News Digital in a sit-down interview Tuesday.
Vance will join all six co-hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro, to discuss his new book, "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith." His appearance comes on the heels of the Trump administration's newly reached agreement with Iran, in which the vice president played a key role in negotiations.
Asked how he was preparing for the interview, Vance said he was approaching it as an opportunity for an earnest conversation, even with people whose views differ from his own.
FLASHBACK: VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE WILL APPEAR ON 'THE VIEW' AFTER HOSTS CONDEMNED HIM FOR YEARS
"My job as vice president of the United States is not just to talk to the people who voted for me, it's to talk to the people who didn't vote for me too," said Vance.
"We're going to go and try to have a good conversation. I hope they meet me halfway. I'm a little skeptical, but we'll see," he added.
Vance's appearance comes after years of criticism from the show's hosts, who have repeatedly targeted both him and his wife since he was tapped as President Donald Trump's running mate.
'THE VIEW' CO-HOSTS CLAIM USHA VANCE IS 'ADDICTED TO POWER' IN ON-AIR ATTACK AGAINST SECOND LADY
Co-host Joy Behar argued Vance was selected to serve as vice president to be a "carbon copy" of Trump and would fail to bring in any new voters.
[Trump] "knows that he’s the vice president who will do the things that Mike Pence would not. I really do believe that. He is an election denier. He has not committed to accepting the results of this year’s elections," Hostin said during the same episode in July 2024.
Co-host Ana Navarro once pointed out that Walz could have an opportunity to embarrass Vance prior to the vice-presidential debate last year.
GOV. TIM WALZ SAYS HE’D 'BEAT THE S--- OUT OF' JD VANCE IN A DEBATE REMATCH
"What Tim Walz needs to do is reveal JD Vance for who he is, a coward, duplicitous, hypocritical opportunist who remains silent while Trump attacks Kamala Harris for being biracial even though his children are biracial," Navarro said. "Who remained silent while Trump supporters issue attacks on Kamala Harris for being of Indian descent, for being South Asian, even though he’s married to an Indian woman."
Vance will be the third sitting vice president to join the program and the first Republican vice president to do so, after appearances by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
"The View" had a total of 341 guests in 2025, but only two of them were conservative, while 128 were liberal, according to a study conducted by the Media Research Center's NewsBusters.
VP JD VANCE ADDRESSES US-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP, WHETHER IRAN IS TRYING TO 'PLAY' THE UNITED STATES
In a media appearance Monday, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said she plans to ask Vance about the financial incentives being proposed to Iran under the newly announced peace agreement.
"He was, um, reportedly one of the chief negotiating partners. I just want to get some clarity," she said.
Fox News Digital reached out to "The View" for comment.
