            <title>UFC star Bo Nickal sounds off on America's 'lost young men': Drinking, drugs, sex and fame won't fill the void</title>
            <description>The 30-year-old fighter told Sean Hannity that prioritizing relationships and faith gives life real value</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;With &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="/category/us/america-250"&gt;America 250&lt;/a&gt; right around the corner, the celebration of our nation's big day is sure to be a big one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The festivities will vary greatly, but one of the most talked about events is the &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="/category/sports/ufc"&gt;UFC&lt;/a&gt; Freedom 250 card happening on the White House lawn on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ' own Sean Hannity sat down with UFC star Bo Nickal on his &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQiSF96dz4s&amp;t=3046s"&gt;"Hang Out with Sean Hannity&lt;/a&gt;" show to discuss the day, as well as his rocket to stardom and a bevy of other topics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One topic the two touched on in particular was the growing epidemic of "lost boys" that is plaguing the youth of America and how it seems to lead to a destructive path for many young men around the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="/sports/ufc-says-wont-profit-from-white-house-event-could-cost-upwards-60m"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UFC SAYS IT WONâ€™T PROFIT FROM WHITE HOUSE EVENT THAT COULD COST 'UPWARDS OF $60M'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hannity asked Nickal directly what his advice to young men who are in desperate need of role models would be, and the young fighter provided some surprisingly grounded words of wisdom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"They're trying to fill a hole that's not going to be filled with the things that they want," Nickal explained. "Drinking, drugs, sex, money, fame ... and it's just going to continue to be empty."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When pressed on what his solution would be, Nickal turned to his &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="/category/faith-values/faith"&gt;faith&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="/media/dana-white-mocks-concerns-called-toxic-masculinity-warns-society-displaced-young-men"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DANA WHITE MOCKS CONCERNS ABOUT SO-CALLED 'TOXIC MASCULINITY,' WARNS SOCIETY HAS 'DISPLACED' YOUNG MEN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Look to your faith, look to community. Look to family... these are the types of things that have real value."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nickal lamented the "selfish attitude" that has seemingly permeated throughout the younger generation of men in America, arguing that it may feel good to do things for yourself "in the moment," but it can destroy you in the long run.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By prioritizing your faith and relationships, Nickal argues that you will feel energized, quoting John 10:10 from the Bible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I come to bring you life so that you may live it to the full."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's all very cogent from a young man (only 30 years old) who is right smack-dab in the middle of the very generation he is trying to guide out of the darkness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://link.podtrac.com/dmwdd_article"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Hannity, clearly impressed by his words, offered the suggestion that Nickal should mentor young men, the UFC star didn't shy away.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I feel passionate about helping young men for sure," said Nickal. "I like talking with them about life."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"When they do lose... it's going to be alright. You're going to figure it out."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nickal takes on Kyle Daukaus on Sunday, June 14, at 8 p.m. ET.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Levin issues warning on â€˜ruling class,â€™ urges Americans to 'fight back' to save country</title>
            <description>Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ' Mark Levin said freedom-loving Americans must 'stay united, organize, push back' during these 'grave times'</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ host Mark Levin warned America is approaching a critical breaking point as &lt;a href="/opinion/morning-glory-2026-should-year-antisemitism-becomes-unacceptable-america-again" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;antisemitism surges nationwide&lt;/a&gt;, anti-ICE protests continue to erupt and concerns over cultural division dominate the political landscape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an appearance on &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/ww7mn0iKqAg?si=VTXe3yi3Fm9nWd9y" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;"Hang Out with Sean Hannity,"&lt;/a&gt; Levin argued the United States is facing a cultural and political crisis unlike anything he has witnessed before, but he insisted the country can still be saved if freedom-loving Americans unite and fight back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The rubber has hit the road right now, but there's still tens of millions of us who know that, who reject what's taking place," Levin said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"And, as long as we talk to each other, stay united, organize, push back, clean out this ruling class, bring in a new ruling class that has the guts to do what a Trump does or a &lt;a href="/category/person/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Ted Cruz&lt;/a&gt; does or several other people do, we can save this republic."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/opinion/antisemitic-violence-erupts-america-some-invoke-intifada-target-jews" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE ERUPTS IN AMERICA AS SOME INVOKE INTIFADA AND TARGET JEWS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Levin pointed to &lt;a href="/us/anti-ice-agitators-throw-wooden-pallets-mattresses-federal-agents-chaotic-nj-detention-center-clash" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;protests in the streets&lt;/a&gt;, escalating anti-Americanism and concerns about assimilation and national identity as signs the country is moving further away from its foundations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These "grave times," he argued, signal a greater need to focus on principles. He noted instances throughout America's history that prioritized the principles of freedom and justice, including the American Revolution and the Civil War.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/sara-carter-reveals-exact-moment-knew-fbi-spying-president-elect-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SARA CARTER REVEALS THE EXACT MOMENT SHE KNEW THE FBI WAS SPYING ON THEN-PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Principles matter... history matters even though it's being taught less and less. We need to push it at the breakfast table, at the dinner table," he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I feel we do a great job of that on conservative talk radio."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Levin and Hannity also discussed the increasingly left-wing trajectory of today's Democratic Party, with Levin circling back to the 2024 election cycle in which President Donald Trump faced an onslaught of accusations and legal challenges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Levin called on Republicans to stand tall in the face of what he described as increasingly volatile opposition from the far left, warning that if the GOP wears "mittens" while Democrats wear "boxing gloves," the former risks getting "slaughtered."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think that what &lt;a href="/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt; has showed, and when people step away, and they really look at this, is you've gotta fight back."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Sara Carter reveals tense CIA meeting where Brennan probed her on Trump, Michael Flynn</title>
            <description>The 45-minute sit-down at CIA headquarters took place in December 2016 during the Crossfire Hurricane probe</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Journalist Sara Carter is shedding new light on a private 2016 meeting at CIA headquarters, where she said then-CIA Director John Brennan questioned her about President &lt;a href="/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt; and Michael Flynn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking on the &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HeTzOPOnKI" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"&gt;"Hang Out with Sean Hannity"&lt;/a&gt; podcast, Carter described her tense sit-down with Brennan in 2016 and what she said it told her about the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This was interesting. He asked me, 'How do you feel about President-elect Trump and Michael Flynn?'" Carter said of her 45-minute interview with Brennan in December 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I said to him, 'How do you want me to feel about President-elect Trump and Michael Flynn?' And it just ended right there," she said, noting that while the interview continued, the "chitchat" was over.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/politics/bondi-confirms-doj-has-received-criminal-referral-alleging-brennan-perjury-over-steele-dossier" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BONDI CONFIRMS DOJ HAS RECEIVED CRIMINAL REFERRAL ALLEGING BRENNAN PERJURY OVER STEELE DOSSIER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2016, the &lt;a href="/politics/john-brennan-james-comey-under-criminal-investigation-doj-sources" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;FBI launched a counterintelligence investigation&lt;/a&gt;, code-named "Crossfire Hurricane," into alleged Russian election interference and links to Trump campaign associates, including Flynn. Brennan was the Obama administration's CIA director at the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/dan-bongino-reveals-found-mother-lode-secret-russiagate-files-inside-fbi-burn-bags" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DAN BONGINO REVEALS HE FOUND 'MOTHER LODE' OF SECRET RUSSIAGATE FILES INSIDE FBI BURN BAGS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general and incoming national security advisor, became a subject of the investigation after he spoke with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak on a wiretapped phone line monitored by U.S. intelligence about sanctions imposed by former President &lt;a href="/category/person/barack-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Flynn's name was hidden in intelligence transcripts of those calls, but declassified documents showed Brennan later requested that Flynn's identity be revealed. Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 after admitting he lied to the FBI about discussions involving sanctions. Trump pardoned Flynn in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/trump-drug-czar-rips-democrats-over-anti-ice-rhetoric-putting-everybodys-life-danger" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRUMP DRUG CZAR RIPS DEMOCRATS OVER ANTI-ICE RHETORIC PUTTING 'EVERYBODY'S LIFE IN DANGER'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carter said she felt Brennan was trying to gauge her political loyalty during the 2016 interview.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think he realized at that moment that I wasn't going to be played," Carter said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/politics/trump-appoints-sara-carter-next-drug-czar-says-she-will-lead-charge-protect-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Carter now serves as the&lt;/a&gt; Trump administration's director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, also known as the "drug czar." &lt;a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/01/sara-carter-confirmed-as-drug-czar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"&gt;In a statement&lt;/a&gt; after being confirmed, Carter vowed to fight against narco-terrorists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This is a turning point for our nation. &lt;a href="/category/politics/trump-impeachment-inquiry" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;President Trump&lt;/a&gt; is putting the American people first. Under his leadership, we will reassert our fundamental right to live healthy lives," Carter said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We will hold accountable the narco-terrorists who infringe upon this right, participating in the deliberate poisoning of tens of thousands of Americans each year. They will no longer kill our families, friends, neighbors and even children with impunity."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Ex-mob capo alleges furious RFK weaponized the FBI against his father over Marilyn Monroe</title>
            <description>Michael Franzese claims Marilyn Monroe screamed his father's name during an encounter with Bobby Kennedy</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A notorious &lt;a href="/media/mobsters-take-center-stage-new-fox-nation-crime-series-exploring-iconic-mob-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;New York mobster&lt;/a&gt; became a target of the federal government after Marilyn Monroe allegedly called out his name during an encounter with Robert F. Kennedy, the mobsters' son claims.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Appearing on the &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/JsyT-IAoo_s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;"Hang Out with Sean Hannity"&lt;/a&gt; podcast, former Colombo crime family captain Michael Franzese detailed a bombshell account passed down by his late father, underboss John "Sonny" Franzese.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Franzese said Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy ordered FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to target Franzese's father after &lt;a href="/category/person/marilyn-monroe" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Marilyn Monroe&lt;/a&gt; allegedly mentioned the mobster during an intimate encounter with Kennedy. Franzese said his father claimed he had an affair with Monroe after meeting her at Manhattan's Stork Club.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Now this is my father telling me this, right? She's with Bobby Kennedy," Franzese said of the legendary starlet. "And he said, 'One night they were having fun together, and she screamed out my name.'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/entertainment/marilyn-monroe-could-be-trouble-jackie-kennedy-warned-jfk-author" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MARILYN MONROE 'COULD BE TROUBLE,' JACKIE KENNEDY WARNED JFK: AUTHOR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"She said at that point [Kennedy] got on the phone with Hoover, and he said, 'I don't know who this Sonny guy is, but put him in jail.'"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Franzese, one of the highest-earning Mafia figures to publicly leave &lt;a href="/category/us/crime/organized-crime" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;organized crime&lt;/a&gt;, said his father shared the story after Franzese's mother died in 2012.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said the conversation started after he asked his father why federal agents constantly surveilled their home instead of focusing on other Mafia figures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/fox-nation-gives-subscribers-offer-cant-refuse-two-new-series-americas-most-famous-mobsters" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOX NATION GIVES SUBSCRIBERS AN OFFER THEY CAN'T REFUSE WITH TWO NEW SERIES ON AMERICA'S MOST FAMOUS MOBSTERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I said, 'Why you? I mean Colombo was there, all these other guys, Genovese, but you?'" Franzese said. "First time I ever asked him that. So, he said to me, 'I didn't want to tell you while your mother was alive because I'm respectful.'&lt;i&gt;"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Franzese said the alleged targeting of his father made sense in hindsight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/dea-agents-who-hunted-pablo-escobar-reveal-chilling-call-where-he-ordered-torture-while-phone-wife" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DEA AGENTS WHO HUNTED PABLO ESCOBAR REVEAL CHILLING CALL WHERE HE ORDERED TORTURE WHILE ON PHONE WITH WIFE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I said, 'You know what, Dad" I know you embellish things a little bit, but that kind of makes sense,'" Franzese said. "I don't know if you remember back then, J.

            <description>Franzese told Sean Hannity he personally pocketed $3M to $4M per week from the operation</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Former &lt;a href="/media/fox-nation-gives-subscribers-offer-cant-refuse-two-new-series-americas-most-famous-mobsters" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Colombo crime family&lt;/a&gt; capo Michael Franzese pulled back the curtain on the massive gas tax scheme that brought him to notoriety, revealing how the operation raked in millions of dollars per week during the &lt;a href="https://youtu.be/JsyT-IAoo_s" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;latest episode of Sean Hannityâ€™s podcast&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I said, 'I'll show you more money than you've ever seen before...'" Franzese recounted telling his boss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I was bringing him $2 million a week," he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A former capo in the Colombo crime family, Franzese rose to prominence after orchestrating the sprawling tax fraud scheme that was later described as one of the &lt;a href="/media/mobsters-take-center-stage-new-fox-nation-crime-series-exploring-iconic-mob-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;largest racketeering operations&lt;/a&gt; in the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/us/firefighter-paramedic-led-secret-life-mafia-hitman-before-family-fell-apart-son" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC LED SECRET LIFE AS MAFIA HITMAN BEFORE FAMILY FELL APART: SON&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sitting down for an episode of &lt;a href="/media/how-watch-hang-out-sean-hannity-podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;"Hang Out with Sean Hannity,"&lt;/a&gt; he detailed how the scheme worked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It's very simple: we collect the tax and we don't pay the government," he explained.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"And how we devised the scheme not to pay the government, that's a whole 'nother [story].

            <title>Bill Belichick accuses CBS of deception in 2025 that involved girlfriend Jordon Hudson</title>
            <description>Football legend said he agreed to discuss his memoir but CBS shifted interview focus on his relationship</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Eight-time Super Bowl champion &lt;a href="/category/person/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Bill Belichick&lt;/a&gt; accused CBS of being deceitful in a 2025 interview that generated headlines when his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, appeared to shut down a question about their relationship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I thought that the interview I had with them was done very deceptively," the football legend said on a new episode of &lt;a href="/category/shows/hannity/hangout-with-hannity-podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;"Hang Out with Sean Hannity,"&lt;/a&gt; which will be available Tuesday morning. "I've asked for the transcript from them, and they won't give it to me."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During a 2025 interview with "CBS News Sunday Morning," Hudson said Belichick was "not talking about this" when he was asked by anchor Tony Dokoupil about how she and the New England Patriots icon met.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hudson, who was watching the interview from a side corner, reportedly interrupted several times and even stormed off at one point, delaying the interview by around 30 minutes.Â The interview as aired on CBS fueled much criticism directed towards Hudson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/cbs-dispute-bill-belichick-latest-controversy-hit-embattled-network" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CBS DISPUTE WITH BILL BELICHICK LATEST CONTROVERSY TO HIT EMBATTLED NETWORK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Belichick responded to critics by saying he agreed to speak with "CBS Sunday Morning" about his memoir "&lt;a href="/sports/bill-belichick-plugs-book-fathers-day-gift-idea-response-questions-about-relationship-noise" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;The Art of Winning&lt;/a&gt; â€” Lessons from My Life in Football" and added that it was communicated that the interview would focus solely on the book. He said &lt;a href="/sports/bill-belichick-jordon-hudson-drama-revealed-new-emails" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;his girlfriend was not&lt;/a&gt; "deflecting" the relationship question but rather attempting to steer the interview to remain on topic. He claimed the network was creating a "false narrative" by publicizing "selectively edited clips."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HangOutwithSeanHannity/featured" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHECK OUT ALL THE INTERVIEWS ON 'HANG OUT WITH SEAN HANNITY'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Some of the clips make it appear as though we were avoiding the question of how we met, but we have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021," he said in a statement at the time of the controversy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On "Hang Out," Belichick told Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ host &lt;a href="/category/shows/hannity/hangout-with-hannity-podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Sean Hannity&lt;/a&gt; "couldnâ€™t believe" the journalistic conduct from CBS, which had been regarded in its long history as a trusted news network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/sports/relationship-expert-talks-bill-belichick-jordon-hudson-romance-scrutiny-reaches-fever-pitch" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RELATIONSHIP EXPERT TALKS BILL BELICHICK-JORDON HUDSON ROMANCE AS SCRUTINY REACHES FEVER PITCH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Kind of confused aboutâ€¦ some of the things that they say they are, but I donâ€™t really see them living up to the trust that theyâ€¦ talk about," he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The relationship between Belichick, 74, and Hudson, a 25-year-old &lt;a href="/sports/jordon-hudsons-former-classmate-unsurprised-controlling-tendencies-over-bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;former beauty pageant contestant,&lt;/a&gt; first became public in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Belichick pointed out to "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" that criticism over CBS News' editing and alleged hesitance to provide interview transcripts are not isolated. CBS has faced similar controversy in the past, including interviews with former Vice President &lt;a href="/category/person/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Kamala Harris&lt;/a&gt; and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"They've done that with others, I'm not really sure what that policy is," he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"As we've seen recently, there have been more editing problems, and they go back to, over a couple of years, multiple examples of editing," Belichick added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ Digital reached out to CBS News for comment. At the time of the uproar over the Belichick broadcast last year, CBS defended the interview.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview," &lt;a href="/media/cbs-dispute-bill-belichick-latest-controversy-hit-embattled-network" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;CBS' statement read&lt;/a&gt;. "There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't miss Hannityâ€™s full conversation with Belichick, including his response to his shocking Hall of Fame snub, when the new episode of "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" becomes &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HangOutwithSeanHannity/videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;available Tuesday on YouTube&lt;/a&gt;, Spotify, and Apple.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Football legend Bill Belichick addresses Hall of Fame snub and whether it was a 'political' decision</title>
            <description>Trump called the snub 'ridiculous' and said it 'should be overturned' in a Truth Social post defending Belichick</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Legendary Patriots coach &lt;a href="/category/person/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Bill Belichick&lt;/a&gt; addressed his Pro Football Hall of Fame snub and whether he believes the decision was "political."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In January, Belichick did not receive the required 40 votes to be inducted into the Hall of Fame Class of 2026.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Well, out of my control," he said on the latest episode of "&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HangOutwithSeanHannity" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Hang Out with Sean Hannity&lt;/a&gt;," which will drop on Tuesday morning. "Honestly, I've been very focused on my job at the University of North Carolina and the players, and the university there. So, you know, whatever happens, happens."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I'm proud of what we accomplished as a team at New England and certainly at the Giants and proud of those relationships, so that's what matters most," the &lt;a href="/category/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;eight-time Super Bowl champion&lt;/a&gt; added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/sports/tom-brady-perplexed-over-bill-belichick-failing-make-hall-fame-first-ballot" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TOM BRADY PERPLEXED OVER BILL BELICHICK FAILING TO MAKE HALL OF FAME ON FIRST BALLOT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Belichick joined the University of North Carolina Tar Heels after leaving his 24-year coaching tenure with the New England Patriots in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Belichickâ€™s Hall of Fame snub received widespread criticism from figures both inside and outside the football world, including President &lt;a href="/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt; and Tom Brady.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It is the same mindset that gave pro football the new and unwatchable 'Sissy' Kickoff Rule, that made it possible for Bill Belichick to not be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Both are ridiculous and should be overturned!" &lt;a href="/sports/trump-rips-pro-football-hall-fame-ridiculous-decision-snub-bill-belichick-from-first-ballot-honor" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Trump wrote on Truth Social&lt;/a&gt; in reaction to the snub.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I don't understand it," Tom Brady said, who was coached by Belichick for 20 seasons. "I was with him every day. If he's not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, there's really no coach that should ever be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people deserve it."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/sports/patriots-owner-robert-kraft-says-bill-belichick-unequivocally-deserves-first-ballot-hall-famer" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PATRIOTS OWNER ROBERT KRAFT SAYS BILL BELICHICK 'UNEQUIVOCALLY DESERVES' TO BE FIRST-BALLOT HALL OF FAMER&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ host &lt;a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/Pg_ZKqDxNeE?si=56_8l3cjesMeqP8O" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Sean Hannity asked Belichick&lt;/a&gt; about the robust support he received following the January snub.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Did that make you feel good that so many people came out defending you?"

"It's great to hear that support from so many people and from so many different fields, not just football, but you know, many others. And so, I was very appreciative of that support and, you know, the positive comments that they made."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Belichick failed to meet the 40-vote requirement from the &lt;a href="/sports/pro-football-hall-fame-issues-warning-voters-amid-bill-belichick-snub-outrage" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;50-member Hall of Fame selection&lt;/a&gt; committee to be inducted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When asked by Hannity whether he believes the decision was "political," Belichick pointed to the committee voters and emphasized he had no control over the matter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You have to ask the voters.

            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;After surviving multiple assassination attempts and years of what they describe as legal "lawfare," the Trump family says they are prepared for whatever comes next in the political arena.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking aboard Air Force One on the &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzyRpkTGTx0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow"&gt;"Hanging Out with Sean Hannity"&lt;/a&gt; podcast, Eric and Lara Trump refused to rule out future runs for office. The interview took place as they traveled with President &lt;a href="/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt; to China for a summit with President Xi Jinping.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I would never rule anything out," &lt;a href="/category/person/eric-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Eric Trump&lt;/a&gt; told Hannity when asked about a potential bid for the presidency. "I can tell you we've seen the best of it, and we've seen the worst of it."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I've seen six months of courtrooms where people are trying to destroy you and your entire family. If you go into this game, you better be ready for it. You better have your family ready for it because they're coming, and they're coming in ways you can't even imagine," he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/sending-tremors-country-eric-trump-defends-father-legal-lawfare-fraud-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'SENDING TREMORS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY': ERIC TRUMP DEFENDS FATHER AGAINST 'LEGAL LAWFARE' IN NY FRAUD CASE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lara Trump, who served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee through the 2024 election before becoming a Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ host, had a similar outlook as her husband. She argued that attacks from the "deep state" have made the family more resilient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I will echo Eric's answer," &lt;a href="/media/trump-worries-someone-try-take-every-time-goes-anywhere-lara-trump-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Lara Trump said&lt;/a&gt;. "If you continue to rub your hands, you get a callus. You continue to beat somebody enough, you develop a thick skin, and we have all developed such thick skin that I almost don't think there's anything they could throw in any of our way."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When pressed by Hannity on whether she might personally consider a bid to become the first female president, Lara kept the door wide open for the entire family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/fox-nation-special-reveals-new-commentary-from-widow-daughter-man-killed-trump-butler-rally" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WIDOW, DAUGHTER OF MAN KILLED AT TRUMP BUTLER RALLY TELL ALL IN NEW FOX NATION SHOW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I wouldn't rule it out for anyone in the family," she said. "Despite knowing absolutely nothing about &lt;a href="/category/politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;politics&lt;/a&gt; when this whole thing started, we got a quick lesson."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/media/kash-patel-reveals-chilling-holiday-terror-plots-fbi-federal-agents-quietly-stopped" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KASH PATEL REVEALS THE CHILLING HOLIDAY TERROR PLOTS FBI FEDERAL AGENTS QUIETLY STOPPED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The family also recalled the emotional moment they had to tell their children about the 2024 &lt;a href="/media/ivanka-trump-recalls-moment-her-father-shot-butler-pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania&lt;/a&gt;. Lara described explaining the event to their then-four and six-year-old children as "one of the hardest things" sheâ€™s ever had to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;"&lt;/i&gt;Maybe one of the hardest things I've ever had to do was talk to our kids to let them know that something had happened to grandpa because [they] were, what, four and six at the time," she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It's hard for them to rationalize why would someone want to do that, and so our daughter was particularly concerned about the &lt;a href="/media/trump-reveals-crucial-split-second-moment-saved-his-life-during-butler-assassination-attempt" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;bandage on his ear&lt;/a&gt;. We didn't even discuss what was going to happen and how it was [going to] go. As soon as she saw him, man, she wanted to climb in his lap and just be with him."&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

            <title>Navy SEAL veteran warns China, Russia are watching US-Iran war to gauge American military strength</title>
            <description>Jack Carr says China could gain confidence to invade Taiwan if the US doesn't prevail in the Iran conflict</description>
            <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Navy SEAL veteran Jack Carr warned U.S. foreign adversaries will take note if the &lt;a href="/opinion/winning-battles-losing-war-america-must-define-endgame-iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;United States loses the Iran War&lt;/a&gt; as the conflict drags into a third month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carr said &lt;a href="/opinion/trump-may-claim-won-fight-iran-theres-bigger-war-already-underway" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;nations like China and Russia&lt;/a&gt; are watching U.S. military actions, taking note of American capabilities, while referencing the lessons the nations learned from the United States' handling of the Afghanistan War.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"What do we think North Korea is learning? What do we think Iran is learning from what we did in Afghanistan and how we spent 20 years there? We had 20 years to prepare to exit, and that was the best that we could do?" Carr said on "&lt;a href="https://www.fox.com/detail/series/SER01045380YTLJ/hang-out-with-sean-hannity" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Hang Out with Sean Hannity&lt;/a&gt;."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"They're taking lessons from that. That's why what we're doing now is a reset."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/opinion/morning-glory-trump-has-restored-gop-party-defense-deterrence" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MORNING GLORY: TRUMP HAS RESTORED THE GOP AS THE PARTY OF DEFENSE AND DETERRENCE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The SEAL veteran said President &lt;a href="/category/person/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;â€™s war on Iran is a "reset," and foreign adversaries are monitoring the outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"This is really an opportunity for us to reestablish ourselves and reestablish that deterrence that we enjoyed for so long following World War II," Carr told &lt;a href="/media" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He reflected on the impact of U.S. failures in Afghanistan, arguing the weak exit in 2021 left international enemies with more confidence to take military action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/politics/from-syria-somalia-us-troops-remain-deployed-holiday-season-under-missions-never-formally-ended" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FROM SYRIA TO SOMALIA, US TROOPS REMAIN DEPLOYED THIS HOLIDAY SEASON UNDER MISSIONS THAT NEVER FORMALLY ENDED&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Days before the U.S. troop withdrawal, a &lt;a href="/category/world/terrorism" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;suicide bomber&lt;/a&gt; killed about 170 Afghan civilians and 13 U.S. service members, an attack that drew criticism of the quick exit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Afghanistan War (2001â€“2021) has faced scrutiny as an endless and costly conflict, with critics questioning whether the fight was worth the loss of lives and resources.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carr said the conflict degraded the United States' power to control &lt;a href="/opinion/one-month-at-war-with-iran-can-washington-define-victory" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;global order and stability&lt;/a&gt;, pointing to weak military strategy during the conflict.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/politics/iran-strikes-could-signal-limits-beijing-moscows-power-us-flexes-strength" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IRAN STRIKES COULD SIGNAL LIMITS OF BEIJING, MOSCOWâ€™S POWER AS US FLEXES STRENGTH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"After Afghanistan, and certainly after Iraq, we lost that ability to deter just by being the United States of America because our enemy said, â€˜Look, this is the best they can do?&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;This is how we leave Afghanistan? This is what they did for 20 years there? This is what they did for this decade-plus in Iraq? OK, I think we can get away with X, Y and Z because the United States does not know how to effectively and efficiently deploy their military and employ their military."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carr said China will "take lessons" if the United States fails in the Iran conflict and suggested it could give Beijing the military confidence to invade Taiwan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;"&lt;/i&gt;We have to win because if we do not win this thing, then they take another lesson, China specifically," he said. "They take lessons about Taiwan from that if we lose. So, the stakes are pretty high."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carr also argued the U.S.-Iran conflict is less about the global economic impact, like surging oil prices caused by the Strait of Hormuzâ€™s closure, and more about global order and stability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://foxnews.onelink.me/xLDS?pid=AppArticleLink&amp;af_dp=foxnewsaf%3A%2F%2F&amp;af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fapps-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He emphasized the importance of U.S. success in the Iran conflict as foreign adversaries watch to assess American military capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"That's why these stakes are so high. This is why â€¦ the outcome of &lt;a href="/opinion/kt-mcfarland-operation-epic-fury-proves-both-america-first-proudly-maga" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;what's happening in Iran right&lt;/a&gt; now is so important, not just for the administration or not just for the region but for the world," he concluded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carr's full conversation with Sean Hannity is available now on the "&lt;a href="https://www.fox.com/detail/series/SER01045380YTLJ/hang-out-with-sean-hannity" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Hang Out with Sean Hannity&lt;/a&gt;" podcast.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
