Alaska moose hunter miraculously survives ambush brown bear attack, says he 'blacked out'
A moose hunter in Alaska somehow walked away from a brown bear attack with little more than a shredded jacket, a bruised shoulder and one hell of a story.
Gavin Haakenson was scouting for moose with his friend Ethan Yeager near Alaska’s Killey River on Sept. 2 when a brown bear came charging at him from roughly 10 feet away.

"I heard a noise to my right and looked over and there was a brown bear charging me at full speed," Haakenson told Outdoor Life. "It was super close, maybe 10 feet, when I saw it. It was growling extremely loud, a terrifying noise. I saw its face. Its teeth were out. It hit me in the shoulder and knocked me down."
And then Haakenson’s memory cuts out.
"Last thing I remember was trying to shoulder my rifle and the bear jumping at me," he said. "Then I don’t remember what happened. That’s when my black out started."
Yeager fired his pistol as Haakenson was trapped underneath the bear. The animal eventually got off him and ran away as Yeager continued firing.
"The whole thing happened in under 10 seconds," Haakenson said. "Then we hiked back to the truck as fast as we could yelling, ‘hey bear’ with some fear in our voices."

Somehow, Haakenson escaped without broken bones or major wounds. The bear tore through his coat and left him bruised and sore, while his rifle also took some damage.

Considering what could have happened, though, he’s almost grateful he doesn’t remember the worst part.
"I get restless just thinking about it," Haakenson said. "I’m glad I blacked out and don’t remember the bear being on top of me. The thought of ‘what if’ is what keeps me up."
Wildlife officers later searched the area but did not find the bear. Haakenson, meanwhile, hasn’t completely ruled out going back.

"I’d like to go out and find this brown bear and shoot it, but how much do I want to make my mother worry?" he said. "And, how angry will this brown bear be when it sees me?"
After round one, I’m not sure I’d be particularly interested in finding out.

Colin Kaepernick is still upset that his mom wanted him to date Taylor Swift, a White woman
Saturday night, Colin Kaepernick and Jemele Hill spoke at the National Black Footwear Forum in Detroit, Michigan. Their conversation focused primarily on, you guessed it, racism, as well as Kaepernick’s life and upcoming memoir, "The Perilous Fight."
OutKick reporters attended the event, which did not permit questions.
One topic, in particular, caught our attention. Hill told Kaepernick that she was struck by a story in his memoir about the time his mother wanted him to date Taylor Swift.
Hill and Kaepernick lamented that his mother wanted him to be with a girl like Swift, with the implication he wasn't interested in white women.
OutKick obtained a copy of Kaepernick’s new book, in which he tells that story about his mother and Swift:
"Now that I had my own car, it was time for me to embrace another teenage rite of passage: a girlfriend. I started seeing a very cute Black girl named Crystal. Right away, I noticed how different I felt with her than in my own home. I could talk to Crystal, really talk to her, without having to explain myself; it was a remarkable discovery, being understood up front and without question. When I visited her home, I was stunned by how warm and welcoming her family was. I immediately felt comfortable there," he begins.
"I asked Crystal to the homecoming dance, a formal affair involving fancy gowns, tuxedoes, and corsages. We had a nice time at the dance. When I got the official portrait from that night, featuring me and Crystal posed up in that classic, airbrushed frame, my mother hid it away in the back of a drawer."
"My mother convinced me to ask Lindsay, the daughter of one of her friends, to the next formal dance. Lindsay was white. When I brought that picture home, my mother promptly plastered it on the wall for all to see. In her mind, Crystal was just a phase. Lindsay was the kind of girl I should want.
"It was disappointing to me that my mother didn't seem capable of seeing who I really was. Years later, when I was in the NFL, she told me that I should ask out Taylor Swift (long before Travis Kelce made his move) because we would be perfect together. No slight to Taylor, but she was not my type. Crystal was also an athlete, a basketball player, and track runner so it was hard for us to find time for each other during basketball season. I was always on my way to practice or a game.
Oh, the horror of a mother encouraging her professional athlete son to ask out one of the most famous women in America, who was around his age. A white girl, even.

During multiple portions of the conversation Saturday night, Kaepernick spoke negatively about two white parents raising him.
He repeatedly claimed that they did not understand or support his "blackness." He also said they did not support his national anthem protest when it began.
How dare two parents refuse to support their son’s decision to disrespect the American flag and encourage him to date Taylor Swift?
How Kaepernick ever made it to the NFL despite this type of parenting is apparently the story of a true underdog.

Colin Kaepernick is still upset that his mom wanted him to date Taylor Swift, a white woman.
Of course, Hill did not challenge Kaepernick on any of these points. Rather, she opened the discussion by blaming injuries for Kaepernick’s poor play and calling on the Atlanta Falcons to consider signing him to play quarterback in 2026.

Finally, say what you will about Travis Kelce, but Swift should be glad Kaepernick stopped taking dating advice from his white mother.
Betting Preview: Arizona Diamondbacks host Miami Marlins with both teams still chasing slim postseason hopes
We head back to the diamond now that we have just one football game on the agenda. With only about 12 games remaining for most teams, we are squarely locked into the final lap of the playoff race. As you'd expect, there are a lot of teams that are pretty much out of it at this point, and a few that still have an outside shot at making it to the postseason. Tonight, the Marlins and Diamondbacks, who both have a slim chance of making the postseason, square off.
The Miami Marlins have a few things left to play for this postseason. They are currently still alive in the postseason race, but going 3-7 over their past ten games has hindered any real possibility of making it. They are 7.5 games back of the final spot in the postseason, which means they need to overcome the Pirates, Diamondbacks, and Padres in 12 games to win the final spot. This can be looked at as a stepping stone year, but you'd have to have confidence that the Marlins will do something in the offseason to further advance the club.
Personally, I think they are likely to trade away guys instead of signing someone to help them. That's pretty normal for the Miami franchise, though. One guy who they have an option on, and I assume they will pick up, is tonight's starter, Sandy Alcantara. He had some strong moments for the team this season with a 13-10 record, 3.78 ERA, and a 1.22 WHIP. He has struggled a bit on the road with a 4.32 road ERA. It has been a rough stretch for him, though, as he has allowed 15 earned runs over the past three starts. Collectively, the Diamondbacks have hit .207 against him in 82 at-bats.
The Arizona Diamondbacks still have hope for this postseason run. Their hope is a bit more realistic than that of their opponent. They are just 2.5 games behind the Padres, and they have their final three games of the season against their divisional foes. The Diamondbacks have been pretty reliable to bettors and have looked great most of this season. Their offense is sharp, and their pitching staff doesn't have a ton of names that stand out to you, but they do get the job done.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Tonight, they have one guy who has a history of being one of the best in the game: Corbin Burnes. This is just his second start since returning from injury, but should the Diamondbacks make it to the postseason, he will likely have four starts total under his belt and be in a good position to help the club. In his start against the Royals, Burnes went three innings, allowed two hits, two walks, and had two strikeouts. He didn't allow a run. This was his first action in over a year, so that's good news. The Marlins have only had three hitters see him in 10 at-bats, and he has allowed just two singles.
This is not a game that I can trust the Marlins to win, unfortunately. They are playing some pretty poor baseball right now, and Alcantara has looked rough. He's had a lot of good stretches, but he's also had some really tough outings, especially lately. The Diamondbacks have a slightly better bullpen, and I think their offense is better, so I'm going to take the Diamondbacks in this one. I do have a slight lean to the under, if that helps at all.

Iran’s proxy money machine: How the Houthis built a multibillion-dollar network despite US sanctions
The Houthis’ rapid advance toward one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints is putting fresh scrutiny on the sprawling financial network that has helped transform the Iran-backed group from a Yemeni insurgency into a heavily armed regional power capable of threatening global trade.
The group has seized new territory along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, including the strategic port city of Mocha, and expanded toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The waterway connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and carries a significant share of global maritime trade and energy shipments.
For the Trump administration, the Houthi advance is becoming as much a financial challenge as a military one. Washington is intensifying efforts to choke off the money sustaining Iran and its proxies, but the Houthis have built a sprawling sanctions-evasion network while controlling ports, trade routes and millions of Yemenis — raising a difficult question for Treasury: how do you cut off the cash fueling the group without cutting off food, fuel and other lifelines to civilians?
SAUDI ARABIA TELLS TRUMP NOW IS THE TIME FOR MILITARY ACTION AS IRAN-BACKED HOUTHIS ADVANCE
The Houthis operate a financial network that extends far beyond Yemen, according to Adam Rousselle, founder of Between the Lines Research.
"We’re dealing with a very well-capitalized group," Rousselle told Fox News Digital.
In a 2025 investigation for the Global Network on Extremism and Technology, Rousselle traced a financing system spanning Houthi-controlled ports, tariffs, Iranian oil, informal hawala networks, cryptocurrency exchanges and foreign facilitators across Russia, Turkey and Southeast Asia.
Control of ports has historically been central to Houthi revenue because Yemen depends heavily on imports. Rousselle’s GNET report said the Houthis have imposed steep fees at ports they control and tariffs on goods brought into their territory from rival Yemeni ports.
HOUTHIS ENTER US 'KILL BOX' AFTER SEIZING RED SEA 'CORK,' FORMER PENTAGON OFFICIAL WARNS
The group’s latest territorial gains could strengthen that economic base even further.
Nadwa Al-Dawsari, a Yemen expert and associate fellow at the Middle East Institute, told lawmakers in Sept. 1 testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee that territory is central to the Houthis’ ability to withstand outside pressure.
"The most important source of that leverage is territory," Al-Dawsari testified. "The Houthis have been able to consolidate their power and build increasingly sophisticated military capabilities because they control significant territory, a large population, ports, infrastructure, and resources."
"That territorial base allows them to recruit, generate revenue, manufacture and store weapons, control smuggling routes, and regenerate capabilities degraded by airstrikes and sanctions," she added.
Rousselle said the Houthis’ finances should not be understood simply as Tehran handing cash to an Iranian proxy.
"It’s a bit of a misunderstanding that the Iranians just give them money," he said, describing the Houthis instead as embedded in a broader Iranian commercial ecosystem.
"The Houthis aren't sanctions-proof; they're sanctions-adapted," Miad Maleki, senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital. "Most of their money is made inside Yemen — customs and taxes at Hodeidah and Ras Isa, and fuel above all."
Treasury has estimated that the Houthis generate more than $2 billion a year from oil sales, while Iran provides the group with a free monthly oil shipment through Iranian-owned or affiliated companies based in Dubai. Treasury has also documented Houthi revenue from taxes imposed on petroleum imports.
CHINA ORDERS FIRMS TO IGNORE US IRAN SANCTIONS, DARING US TO ENFORCE CRACKDOWN
"Sanctions can't reach domestic extraction," Maleki said. "What they can reach is the plumbing between Sana'a and the outside world; the exchange houses, the Dubai and Muscat correspondents, the tankers and the wallets."
At the center of that system is Sa’id al-Jamal, whom the Treasury Department has identified as an Iran-backed Houthi financial official operating an international network that sells Iranian commodities and channels proceeds toward the group.
Treasury said in April 2025 that al-Jamal’s network had procured tens of millions of dollars in weapons, sensitive goods and commodities from Russia and identified eight digital-asset wallets used by the Houthis. Blockchain analytics cited in Rousselle’s GNET research identified nearly $900 million in outflows across those addresses.
Rousselle cautioned against treating that figure as a complete picture of Houthi wealth.
"The system is more important than the number itself," he said, describing the network as fluid and difficult to quantify.
Russia, he argued, has become a particularly significant part of the network. "The Russians are definitely more hands-on in their support," Rousselle said.
TRUMP TO CONFRONT XI AT HIGH-STAKES SUMMIT OVER CHINA BACKING FOR IRAN, RUSSIA
Al-Dawsari’s congressional testimony similarly highlighted the Houthis’ expanding relationships beyond Iran, saying the group is "deepening ties with other U.S. adversaries, particularly Russia and China."
She cited reports that Russia provided targeting data used to help the Houthis attack Western ships in the Red Sea and that Russian petroleum products were transferred ship-to-ship into a Houthi-controlled tanker before reaching the Houthi-controlled port of Ras Isa.
The China connection is more complicated. Rousselle said Chinese-linked private commercial actors appear in parts of the network but distinguished that activity from proven direct Chinese government involvement.
"The Chinese are kind of… turning a blind eye," he said.
His GNET report described Iranian oil flowing to privately owned Chinese "teapot" refineries and examined transactions linked to Southeast Asian financial networks, while cautioning that the available evidence did not establish direct Chinese government control of Houthi financing.
Al-Dawsari pointed to a broader Chinese role in Houthi supply chains. Citing U.S. officials, she said a Chinese satellite company with ties to the Chinese military provided satellite imagery supporting Houthi attacks against U.S. warships and international shipping. She also cited interdiction data showing that 60% of the components and materials used in the Houthi Qasef-2K drone came from China, compared with roughly 15% from Iran.
That sprawling network is now testing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s broader effort to isolate Tehran economically and disrupt the financial channels sustaining Iran and its proxies.
Rousselle said decentralized illicit-finance networks present a fundamental challenge.
"You’re dealing with a ‘you shut down one, another pops up’ kind of situation," he said.
Maleki argued that Washington should concentrate on the points where Houthi money intersects with the formal financial system.
IRAN TAPS FINANCIAL LIFELINE, RUSSIAN ARMS AS TRUMP ESCALATES 'CRUSHING' ECONOMIC WARFARE
"The soft spots are wherever Houthi money touches the formal system," he said. "Treasury has named the Yemeni banks and the Sana'a exchange houses that pay for missile components; it should now name the foreign correspondents still clearing for them. That is the one tool that changes behavior overnight."
Oman represents another potential pressure point. "Oman is the Houthis' land bridge and their mailing address," Maleki said.
But squeezing Houthi finances presents another dilemma: Yemen remains one of the world’s most fragile humanitarian environments, and the Houthis control ports and infrastructure through which civilians receive food, fuel and other basic goods.
"I would be lying if I had a concrete answer to it," Rousselle said when asked how Washington could disrupt Houthi revenue without worsening the humanitarian crisis.
IRAN-BACKED HOUTHI THREAT IN RED SEA COULD LEAD TO MAJOR US POLICY SHIFT, ANALYSTS SAY
"The humanitarian argument is the Houthis' best shield, and it's backwards," Maleki said. "Food and medicine are licensed and should stay that way."
"Keep the goods flowing and take away the toll," he added, arguing that Washington should seek ways to prevent humanitarian trade from generating taxes and fees for Houthi authorities.
Rousselle warned that the challenge extends far beyond Yemen.
"This isn’t just about the Houthis," he said. "This is about any sanctioned actor worldwide capable of harnessing financial systems that are completely outside of regulatory control."
The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Charles Manson cult follower Bruce Davis, convicted in two 1969 killings, dies behind bars at 83
Bruce Davis, a follower of cult leader Charles Manson who was convicted in two 1969 killings, has died at 83, officials said.
FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X
A spokeswoman for the Solano County Coroner's Office confirmed to Fox News Digital that Davis had died, but didn't give additional details. According to TMZ, Davis was pronounced dead at 11:03 p.m. on Sept. 11 at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, California, where he was serving his sentence.
Davis was sentenced to life in prison in 1972, following his role in the murders of Donald "Shorty" Shea, a 35-year-old Hollywood stuntman, and Gary Hinman, a 34-year-old musician and a friend of several Manson family members.
Davis was not the direct killer of either victim and faced no accusations of involvement in the home-invasion slayings that claimed the lives of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and four other people.
This is a developing story.
Danny DeVito exposes wild party scene on 1980s 'Taxi' set: 'Crudité and cocaine'
When the cameras stopped rolling on "Taxi," Danny DeVito and his co-stars apparently shifted into a very different gear.
DeVito recalled cast members and celebrity guests spilling into all-night "ragers" where music blared until sunrise and, as he put it, there was "crudité and cocaine."
"But getting back to the parties, those were like ragers," he explained during an appearance on the "All the Smoke" podcast. "Like we would have like, crudité and cocaine... basically it was the '80s. It was like, really crazy."
'DEADPOOL' STAR RYAN REYNOLDS TORCHES 1980S NOSTALGIA, CALLS DECADE A ‘F---ING MESS’ PEOPLE ‘FORGET’
And the guest list extended well beyond the "Taxi" cast.
"...people would come from like, 'Laverne & Shirley' would come and watch our show. And Robin Williams would come," he remembered. "And we had visitors from outside who was a big fan of the show – Michael Jackson would come.
"He would sit up in the booth, not with the audience, sit up in the booth and watch. Lots of people came. Belushi, you know, people from 'SNL' in the early days."
DeVito said the celebration kicked into high gear as soon as the night's work was finished.

"So then we would transition right from the show that we finished, like, 10:30, 11. And immediately go up and blare the music... until the sun came up," he recalled.
"We had to be to work on Monday at noon," DeVito said. "That's all we had to care about."
DeVito became a household name as the hilariously abrasive Louie De Palma on "Taxi," the hit sitcom that ran from 1978 to 1983. The show featured an ensemble cast that included Judd Hirsch as Alex Reiger, Marilu Henner as Elaine Nardo, Tony Danza as Tony Banta, Christopher Lloyd as Jim Ignatowski, Jeff Conaway as Bobby Wheeler and Andy Kaufman as Latka Gravas.

DeVito's performance as the tyrannical dispatcher earned him both an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe, turning what could have been a supporting role into his Hollywood breakthrough.
"And it was one of the greatest experiences for the beginning of anybody's career, because you were working with writers who were nose to the grindstone, never give up, dedicated, funny a-- people. And they never let you down. And they work until an hour before the show with you."
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
After "Taxi," DeVito built an unusually versatile career as an actor, director and producer.
His most recognizable acting projects include "Twins," "Batman Returns" and "Matilda."
Since 2006, he has also introduced himself to a new generation of comedy fans as the outrageous Frank Reynolds on "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
Abdul El-Sayed protested against 'ex-terrorists' who converted to Christianity, unearthed report reveals
Michigan’s progressive Democratic Senate nominee, while sitting atop an organization with ties to an alleged terrorist group, once protested an event where a trio of "ex-terrorists" discussed their conversion to Christianity.
Abdul El-Sayed, who is running in Michigan’s highly watched and hotly contested race for Senate against the GOP nominee, former Rep. Mike Rogers, was a leader of a protest against three "ex-terrorists" who spoke at the University of Michigan in 2007, according to an unearthed report.
The protest, chronicled by the Michigan Daily, was against three speakers, Walid Shoebat, Zachariah Annani and Kamal Saleem, self-described former terrorists who were making the rounds during the mid-2000s to discuss their lives in the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Muslim Brotherhood before converting to Christianity.
TOP GOP SENATOR REVEALS WHAT DEM COLLEAGUES ARE FRETTING ABOUT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
Students attending the talk staged a walkout, which El-Sayed cheered afterward.
"We’ve done something good today, and we need to keep that going in the future," El-Sayed said.
El-Sayed's campaign spokesperson, Cole Wozniak, told Fox News Digital that the candidate had "unequivocally denounced terrorism."
"Two decades ago, he protested against speakers who have been widely condemned by experts, including in national security, for spreading misinformation and fabricating their backstories," Wozniak said. "Mike Rogers and his allies are pushing lies because they don't want to talk about the record-high prices Michiganders are paying for gas and groceries because of Trump's illegal war in Iran."
There are also questions about the backgrounds of Shoebat, Annani and Saleem. The New York Times reported in 2008 that before speaking at the Air Force Academy, organizations criticized their appearance and several Arab-American civil rights organizations questioned why they had not been arrested or deported given their apparent connections to terrorist groups.
Event organizers told the Michigan Daily that it was meant to educate people about the dangers of Muslim extremism, not promote intolerance. On the other hand, the protesters, who were clad in yellow, argued that their pushback was highlighting that the event was "generalizing an entire group of people."
SCHUMER DUCKS QUESTION ON CAMPAIGNING WITH SOCIALIST CANDIDATE WHO REFUSES TO BACK HIM AS LEADER
El-Sayed at the time was the vice president of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), which is alleged to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization that the White House requested last year that the State and Treasury departments determine whether certain chapters should be designated as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists.
By the early 1960s, the Muslim Brotherhood had built a presence in the U.S., where its members functioned primarily through student unions on college campuses, most particularly through the Muslim Students Association (MSA).
Lara Burns, a senior research fellow at George Washington University’s program on extremism, told the Senate Judiciary Committee last month in written testimony that by the 1960s, the Muslim Brotherhood had built a presence in the U.S., "where its members functioned primarily through student unions on college campuses, most particularly through the Muslim Students Association (MSA)."

The MSA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
President Donald Trump’s administration has sought to label a handful of chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists.
Trump ordered that the Lebanese Muslim Brotherhood chapter, Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood chapter and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood chapter be considered for the designations for their connections to Hamas and the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
Judge Adam Levy previews his ‘nitty-gritty’ new show – and how his style compares to his mom Judge Judy
STAMFORD, CT — Judge Adam Levy’s new courtroom show "Adam’s Law" premieres this month, and he feels prepared because he "learned from the best," his mom Judge Judy Sheindlin.
Sheindlin’s popular show "Judge Judy" ran for over 25 years. She's now passing the baton to her son, who has also starred in courtroom shows like "Justice on Trial" and "Tribunal Justice."
Before bringing his talents to television, Levy served two terms as Putnam County district attorney in New York. He was one of three adjudicating judges on "Tribunal," but he’ll be the lone judge at the helm for CBS Media Ventures' "Adam’s Law," premiering Monday.
"Well, we dive into the nitty-gritty," Judge Adam Levy told Fox News Digital at Stamford Studios following a taping of the show this summer.
"We get into the details. The devil’s always in those details. And so we make sure that the information that we have isn’t just limited to what the litigants tell us in a complaint or an answer. When appropriate, we will look into backgrounds to ensure what they tell us is corroborated or if we can contradict it, we will. So the right person wins, the right person loses," he added.
Two women became visibly emotional during the two cases Levy presided over that morning, sharing their testimonies through tears. While Levy said he understands that these are real people with feelings, he aims to focus on the facts and not the emotions.
"The law is about facts," Levy said. "The law doesn’t have much to do with feelings. I tell that to my family all the time – my facts don’t care about your feelings. Listen, these are real cases, they’re real people. And many of them come here, and they’re committed to their cause. They feel strongly. The ones we had today were high-dollar values, but it could be a $50 case, it could be a $100 case, it doesn’t make a difference.
JUDGE JUDY'S SON ADAM LEVY SAYS HE COULD FIX LOS ANGELES 'IN A MONTH'
"The plaintiffs feel wronged, and they want justice. And when they really start getting emotional, you see that. You see that whatever happened to them really bothered them. I take their cases seriously. They come to us and waive their right to be heard in small claims court, and allow me to adjudicate the cases for them. Why would I give them anything less than my full attention and true justice?"
Levy said he knew he was ready for his own show "when Judge Judy told me I was ready for my own show."
"I was very happy to go back to Wyoming, going skiing, but it was time," he shared. "She wanted to reassess what she was doing, and thinking about maybe hanging up her gavel, and she felt as though it was time. It was time for me that I had developed whatever skills she thought were necessary…"
"I don’t want to disappoint her," he joked. "I don’t want the word ‘bupkis’ next to my name in the will."
Levy described his courtroom style as "similar" to his mom’s.
"We both can’t stand nonsense," he said. "If you’re going to come in, and you’re going to lie, neither of us really have much tolerance for that, patience for it… Come to the court, tell the truth. A trial is supposed to be a search for the truth and not about who can tell a better lie. That’s what we’re all about."
FORMER PROSECUTOR ADAM LEVY SENDS WARNING FOR KNICKS PARADE SAFETY AFTER NYC CHAOS
Growing up, he admitted he didn’t always appreciate his mom's work schedule and his life as a latchkey kid as Judge Judy juggled her responsibilities.
Now he admires her work ethic, saying she passed it down to him, and he hopes to do the same for his kids.
Levy quipped that his kids think he's "crazy" because of the hours of prep he does each week for the show, but he wants to be prepared for the litigants who called him for help.
"It’s much easier when you love what you do," he said.
"Adam’s Law" was created by Judge Judy Sheindlin. It is produced by her Queen Bee Productions and premiered Monday in national syndication.
WWE star Nattie shares insight on The Undertaker’s booking style in AAA
The Undertaker ruled the WWE ring for decades as he developed his "Dead Man" persona and put the fear into any of his opponents that would step up to him.
Those days are a thing of the past and The Undertaker has since switched his role from fearsome in-ring competitor to one of the creatives behind the AAA promotion in Mexico.
COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK
The WWE legend has been among the minds behind AAA’s rise to prominence on the pro wrestling scene. Nattie, a legend in her own right, praised Undertaker for the creative direction he’s undertaken at AAA.
"’Taker is the man. Everybody loves working for ‘Taker. That’s why I think everybody that goes there like Chelsea Green has gone on the record saying, ‘I want to work for ‘Taker.’ She said she would text ‘Taker and ask him please let me do AAA," she told OutKick Dropkick. "And same with Roxanne (Perez), I know she wanted to do AAA.
"‘Taker has really elevated that promotion, along with Jeremy Borash who helps Undertaker run AAA with the family that had run it before WWE stepped in – they still kept management, they still kept people, they still kept the family. But ‘Taker has been involved, WWE has been involved, Jeremy Borash – they just elevated it."
Nattie noted that The Undertaker is different creatively from a Shawn Michaels, who helps run NXT, and Triple H (Paul Levesque), who is the Chief Content Officer for WWE.

"And so, the coolest thing about Undertaker is that his style is very different as a booker. It’s very different than Shawn Michaels. It’s very different than Triple H. But it doesn’t mean that any one of them is better than the other," she said. "It just means that ‘Taker has a different style.
"He loves aggression. He loves intensity. He loves selling. I like to say ‘Taker kinda loves violence. He’s just such a cool boss. He’ll give us advice, he’ll give us feedback but he also gives us support and encouragement and he really believes in us. And that’s so important. And he’s communicative. He was helping me for my entrance for last year’s Triplemania. He was helping me with different ideas. He’s the man."
AAA wrapped up Triplemania 34 with some massive matches and title changes that will certainly shake up the roster heading into its next show on Saturday night.
Bob Mackie, legendary designer who dressed Cher, Tina Turner and Dolly Parton, dead at 87
Bob Mackie, the legendary fashion and costume designer known for dressing some of the biggest stars, died Monday. He was 87
Mackie died of pneumonia, his representative confirmed to Fox News Digital.
"It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Mr. Bob Mackie passed away today," a post shared on his official Instagram read. "He lived his 87 years to the fullest, fulfilling his dream of being a Fashion and Costume Designer, which is all he ever wanted to do."
"His genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world," the statement concluded.
HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO DIED IN 2026
He is survived by his granddaughter Alyssa Townsend, his great-granddaughters Kyla and Keira Townsend and his former wife, Lulu Porter.
Mackie was known for his glittering, theatrical creations that helped define the looks of stars such as Cher, Carol Burnett, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton and Tina Turner.
His career took off after he began designing for Mitzi Gaynor and then landed the job of creating costumes for "The Carol Burnett Show," remaining with the variety series throughout its 11-season run.
"Throughout his extraordinary body of work, Bob Mackie understood the unique power of costume in comedy – to help create a character and become part of the creative energy that drove the comedy itself," National Comedy Center Executive Director Journey Gunderson told Fox News Digital.
"His work with Carol Burnett and the ensemble of ‘The Carol Burnett Show,’ with Cher starting with ‘The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour,’ as well as with Joan Rivers, Bette Midler and Lucille Ball, helped shape some of comedy’s most memorable moments on television and stage."

Among his most recognizable creations was Cher's dramatic feathered ensemble at the 1986 Academy Awards. His work earned him nine Emmy Awards, a Tony Award for "The Cher Show" and three Academy Award nominations.
"Nobody was allowed to even design a halter dress until Cher started wearing them on Sonny & Cher [in the ‘70s], and then all of a sudden they were in everybody’s collection," Mackie previously told People. "And then girls were showing way more skin than they should have, because Cher was showing more skin than she should have. But she looked good in it."

His designs – packed with sequins, feathers, beads and a healthy dose of showmanship – made Mackie one of Hollywood's most recognizable costume designers.
Mackie's work has endured for decades as younger stars have chosen to wear his archival work. Sabrina Carpenter has repeatedly dipped into the legendary costume designer’s archives for major appearances.

One of Carpenter’s biggest Mackie moments came at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, when she walked the red carpet in a sparkling silver-and-white vintage Mackie gown originally created for Madonna’s 1991 Academy Awards performance.
She paid tribute to Mackie on Instagram, sharing some of the iconic looks she's worn over the past few years.
"Terribly devastated," she wrote on her Instagram story. "I feel so lucky to have met Bob. his one of a kind creations have inspired and brought so much happiness and confidence to my world, and they will continue to always x Mackie girl forever."
Before his death, Mackie acknowledged that younger performers such as Carpenter, Miley Cyrus and Zendaya had developed a new appetite for his archival creations.
