Secret Service deploys ‘all forensic tools’ after alarming find near Trump’s plane
The FBI is using all “forensic tools” at its disposal to probe a recently discovered hunting stand overlooking President Donald Trump’s Air Force One exit area at the Palm Beach International Airport, Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Monday.
“[Secret Service was] very concerned,” Bongino said, telling “Fox & Friends” the agency discovered the hunting stand during a security sweep.
FBI Director Kash Patel ordered an “immediate response” once informed of the situation.

“I believe we had our plane flown down there. This hunting stand was appropriately dismantled. It’s being flown to our lab,” Bongino continued.
“I believe it’s there right now, and all the forensic tools we have, from digital tools to biometric tools, are all going to be applied to try to find out who put this up there and why.”
Agents found the stand last Thursday, prior to Trump’s return to West Palm Beach. Patel previously told Fox News Digital that no individuals were located at the scene.

“Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones highlighted recent instances of political violence involving snipers, including the July 2024 assassination attempt against Trump as well as the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk last month.
Bongino said the U.S. Secret Service has made multiple security modifications in response, including expanding its perimeter around the airport.

“I think you saw the modifications with the discovery of this hunting stand set up in the tree outside of West Palm Beach,” he added.
“This is a zero-fail mission… You can’t have a mistake here… I’ve been a Secret Service agent and now an FBI agent and with the NYPD. I can tell you, this is one of those missions where there’s no do-overs.”
Country songwriter’s plane rolled ‘inverted’ moments before fatal crash killed three
New details have emerged surrounding the tragic plane crash that killed country music songwriter Brett James, the man behind Carrie Underwood’s hit “Jesus, Take the Wheel.”
According to a new report released by The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and obtained by People magazine, James departed from John C. Tune Airport (JCA) in Nashville, heading for Macon County Airport (MCA) in Franklin, North Carolina, before the fatal crash on Sept. 18. There were three passengers total, including James, his wife Melody Carole, 59, and her daughter Meryl Wilson, 28. There were no survivors.
Per the report, at around 2:48 p.m. local time, James approached MCA to land, reporting that he was at 6,800 feet and “intended to perform a 360° turn to land” on the runway.

Air traffic control received no further transmissions from James after that, according to the report.
The plane reportedly began “a descending left turn from 6,300 ft” and made a full turn before approaching the runway at 3,300 feet.
“Surveillance video showed the airplane flying over the runway before initiating a descending left turn. The airplane continued descending in the left turn before entering a tightening spiral and impacting the ground,” the NTSB said in the report. The plane was “rocking from side-to-side” and eventually began “rolling inverted and descending behind a tree line,” the report stated, per People.

No signs of engine failure were found in NTSB’s investigation. The aircraft was recovered and is undergoing further examination.
A representative for the NTSB did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Just months before his untimely death, James shared a heartfelt moment with his loved ones. On June 16, he was all smiles as he posted a family photo.
“Such an amazing Father’s Day!!” James captioned the Instagram post.

Several days before his post, the country songwriter shared a selfie of himself and his wife Melody on the beach.
“So much fun with my love in the Bahamas,” he captioned the photo.
The plane crash occurred just days after James’ stepdaughter, Meryl, celebrated her 28th birthday.
James’ illustrious career spanned decades, and he became one of the most successful and beloved songwriters in Nashville.
He worked on more than 500 songs recorded by artists like Faith Hill, Kelly Clarkson, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban and Meghan Trainor.
In 2020, James was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Teen boy with 111 arrests in just two years waltzes free in blue city: police
A Charlotte, North Carolina, teenager with 111 arrests in just two years has once again been released, as the blue city wrestles with repeat offenders.
During a Wednesday news conference, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) discussed the city’s latest crime stats. The city, according to the CMPD, experienced a 20% reduction in violent crime, which includes homicides, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults, which encompass shootings.
But amid the positivity, there is reason for alarm, with more than half of those arrested for violent crimes having prior arrests—including teens. One example is an unnamed 15-year-old with an astounding 111 arrests since August 2023.
FELON INDICTED IN TRAIN MURDER AS ATTACKS TERRORIZE COMMUTERS IN BLUE CITY: REPORT
The 15-year-old’s record spans dozens of property crimes across the Queen City, including vehicle thefts, larcenies from cars and possession of stolen property. CMPD said the teen has been linked to about 50 separate cases involving at least 55 stolen vehicles and 45 break-ins.
“We continue to see a troubling pattern: a disproportionate number of violent incidents and property crimes are being committed by individuals with extensive criminal histories – many of whom continue to cycle through the justice system without facing meaningful consequences,” said Sgt. Todd Martin of the Southeast Service Area Crime Reduction Unit.
“The cycle of catch and release does not reduce crime in our community,” he said.
Martin revealed the repeat offender’s disturbing search history.
“The following were Google searches found on the juvenile’s cellphone: What is the charge for killing an officer? Is police murder a charge? What is capital murder?” Martin said at Wednesday’s news conference.
“These are the things a 15-year-old in possession of multiple firearms was searching for,” he added. “Despite the juvenile’s delinquency history and repeat offender status, the juvenile was released back into the community in September.”
CHARLOTTE’S ‘PRO-CRIME’ POLICIES UNDER FIRE AS CAREER CRIMINAL CHARGED WITH KILLING COMMUTER: EXPERT
The 15-year-old repeat offender in Charlotte comes as the city has grappled with the stabbing death of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee who was commuting home from her job at a pizzeria when she was allegedly stabbed to death by a repeat offender.
According to a police affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, CMPD responded to an emergency call from the Lynx Blue Line near 1821 Camden Road on Aug. 22. Witnesses reported that a man had stabbed a woman in the throat inside a train car.

Officers arrived to find 34-year-old Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. on the outbound platform, wearing clothing that matched the suspect’s description, court documents revealed. Authorities said he had a cut on his right hand and was taken into custody after receiving medical attention. Officers recovered a folding knife near the outbound light rail platform, the affidavit said.
Brown has a criminal history spanning over a decade, including felony breaking and entering and robbery with a dangerous weapon, for which he served a five-year prison sentence, according to court records.
‘Tinderbox’ ready to explode: England’s identity crisis a warning for America
I went to England on a history vacation. It turned into an archaeological expedition, uncovering the bones of a once-great civilization.
All the tourist sites are still there. You can still see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, recall the “V” for victory in the Churchill War Rooms or be inspired to pray at Westminster Abbey. But those are mere historical artifacts, like the pyramids of Egypt or the Acropolis in Greece. The ideals and most of the people who believe in them are long gone.
I was in London less than 24 hours before a terror attack killed two people in a Manchester synagogue. Police also killed the terrorist, a Syrian-born, 35-year-old immigrant named Jihad Al-Shamie, who they said had pledged himself to ISIS. Two innocent Jewish people are dead and a walking, talking metaphor was the cause. Jewish citizens admitted the assault was shocking but not surprising, given the rise of antisemitism in England.
Two days later, thousands of “pro-Palestinians” held a protest around Trafalgar Square. I watched police arrest a few radicals, while the crowd chanted, “Free Palestine.” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged everyone not to protest on the Oct. 7th anniversary of the attack on Israel because he said it was “un-British.” Unfortunately, it’s all too British these days. Britain has imported millions of people who hold no allegiance to its nation or its beliefs. They brought with them both a hatred of Jewish people and Western civilization.
TRUMP DELIVERED PEACE AND A FUTURE WHERE OTHERS ONLY TALKED
On Oct. 11, hundreds of thousands of “pro-Palestine” protesters marched in London, shutting down streets and businesses. Even the ceasefire in Gaza didn’t satisfy them. It’s Starmer’s fault. He recognized a Palestinian state, rewarding Hamas for its barbaric assault on Israel and emboldening the protesters.
Now, the government has to try to look good. It told universities they must “take stronger action to protect Jewish students,” according to Reuters. But, a new YouGov poll says one out of five Britons holds antisemitic views. The message to Jews in England seems disturbingly similar to what it was in 1930s Germany: get out while you still can.
That is only one aspect of the failed British state. Some British people understand they had their history and culture stolen from them, but fear their government enough that they are unwilling or unable to do anything about it. One resident I met was afraid to even wear the British flag for fear of arrest. The same individual referred to England as a “tinder box” that could turn into a civil war.
Those feelings aren’t surprising. A Labour Party member of the British Parliament, Jeevun Sandler, came out on Oct. 12, urging England to take down its flag from lamp posts because it was seen as “unwelcoming” to immigrants. A local politician was investigated by police after she said she was “born and bred here.” And a recent study from the University of Leicester’s Centre for Hate Studies complains that rural England is “overwhelmingly White” and needs “inclusion.”
HOW TRUMP’S RELENTLESS MIDDLE EAST GAMBLE FINALLY FLIPPED THE SCRIPT
It’s not just politics. Canterbury Cathedral, a truly majestic monument to Christianity and Western civilization, was turned into a site for a graffiti-like art demonstration of England’s decline and fall. Christianity Today explains it as an, “art exhibit titled ‘Hear Us,’ which features temporary graffiti stickers that were slapped on Canterbury’s stone pillars and aim to highlight minorities while posing challenging questions to God.” Artist Alex Vellis self describes as “an agender goblin-thing.” Just the person you’d pick to decorate one of the world’s most famous religious sites.
What Vellis did is not art. It’s desecration. Thank God, I saw the cathedral just before this betrayal.
Major institutions embraced the guilt complex that causes all this. It is common for tour guides, museum employees and docents to fill their talks with leftist talking points about climate change and immigration. Many historic sites I visited were quick to demonize British history. Explorer and privateer Sir Francis Drake, who heroically defended England against the Spanish armada, is slammed as an enslaver at the very maritime museum he helped inspire.

British media is worse. The BBC is almost laughably left wing. It layered discussions of the Manchester terror attack with the typical refrain, “but Israel.” Other outlets weren’t as bad, but that’s not saying much. Even commercials show the built-in biases. I saw at least 13 Unicef UK Ads on my television. Nine were about providing aid to Gaza, one more was for Yemen. There were no ads about helping Christians being genocided in Africa. Or even aiding Muslims in China or Myanmar, where they are also being persecuted. Of course, they aren’t fighting Israel in those locations.
Starmer’s many failures make him wildly unpopular, and the Reform Party is polling high, looking like it could sweep future elections. The British response is to crack down even more. Rather than defend its own history and culture, the government wars against them. Already, 12,000 people are arrested each year for what they say online.
British politician and journalist Daniel Hannan summarized these problems with the question, “Why are so many British leaders anti-British?”

Those problems are already here in America, they simply haven’t taken root as strongly yet. England is perhaps 10 or 20 years ahead of us. It can serve as a warning or a peek at our inevitable decline. Our campuses are filled with indoctrinated young people, ignorant of history and eager to carry whatever banner will tear down America and the West. It doesn’t matter if it’s the flag of communism or Hamas.
There are some in England who haven’t given up. But the fear is that it is too late. And looking around England, it’s hard to feel otherwise. For America, it’s not too late… yet.

Hollywood star turned down politician’s proposal to stage split during tense campaign
Cheryl Hines is shedding light on the intense — and sometimes extreme — moments that defined her life with presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his 2024 campaign.
Hines revealed that at one point, Kennedy, whom she affectionately calls “Bobby,” suggested they pretend to be separated to ease public scrutiny in a candid interview with Fox News Digital.
“In my book, ‘Unscripted,’ I talk about this because things got … dramatic during this presidential campaign,” Hines said, referencing her new memoir. “Some people were very upset that I was even married to Bobby. They were vocally coming at me because I’m married to Bobby. So Bobby felt like, ‘You shouldn’t be having to take that heat. So why don’t we just say we’re separated?’”
ACTRESS CHERYL HINES CLASHES WITH ‘THE VIEW’ OVER HER HUSBAND RFK JR’S RECORD SERVING AMERICANS
While the gesture came from a place of concern, Hines admitted she didn’t think it would have helped.
WATCH: CHERYL HINES’ HUSBAND RFK JR. WANTED TO ANNOUNCE FAKE SPLIT TO PROTECT HER FROM CAMPAIGN CRITICS
“It was a very sweet notion, but yeah, I didn’t think that was helpful,” she told Fox News Digital. “What needed to happen — and what did happen — is we got closer together. I understood the sentiment behind it, but this is why I think the book is so interesting: you’re in these unique situations that nobody else can imagine.”
Hines, 60, is best known for playing Larry David’s on-screen wife in HBO’s hit comedy, “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Off-screen, she’s been married to Kennedy since 2014.
Before her marriage to Kennedy, Hines was married to producer Paul Young. The two share one daughter, Catherine, born in 2004.
“For a couple to say, ‘Maybe we should just say we’re not with each other anymore and our lives would be easier’ — it’s like, well, things have gotten to that point. That’s pretty dramatic and pretty extreme,” Hines added. “And that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to write the book … experiences that are very once in a lifetime.”

The Emmy-nominated actress has stood by Kennedy through the highs and lows of his political and personal life, recently sharing the intense scrutiny and safety fears that came with his presidential run.
CHERYL HINES WAS ‘VERY WORRIED’ HUSBAND RFK JR. WOULD BE SHOT DURING 2024 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
Hines said the campaign’s pressure wasn’t just about media attention — she also lived with constant fear for her husband’s safety, given the tragic history of the Kennedy family.
WATCH: CHERYL HINES FACED HOLLYWOOD BACKLASH OVER HUSBAND RFK JR.’S PRESIDENTIAL RUN
“I was very fearful for his safety,” Hines said. “As most people know, his uncle, John Kennedy, was assassinated. His father, Robert Kennedy, was assassinated while he was running for president. So when Bobby ran for president, it was very stressful. For good reason. I mean, I saw somebody breaking into our house — watching him walk into the backyard — and I see the security guy coming at him with his weapon out. It’s 10:00 in the morning.”
The tension escalated further when a man armed with loaded guns showed up at one of Kennedy’s rallies and was arrested on the spot.

Despite the growing threats, Kennedy’s repeated requests for Secret Service protection were denied, Hines said, adding that it only heightened their anxiety.
“At the time, Bobby kept requesting Secret Service and kept getting denied. So it was a very stressful time,” she told Fox News Digital.
Hines — who portrayed Cheryl David on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” throughout its run — reflected on her journey from bartending in Los Angeles to earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in her new project.

Her memoir, “Unscripted,” also dives into her life before Hollywood, her advocacy work for United Cerebral Palsy (inspired by her late nephew), and the challenges of navigating a blended family in the Kennedy spotlight.
When Fox News Digital asked what readers can expect from her new book, Hines said the goal is simple: “to have fun.”
“Life isn’t perfect, you know? Things happen — you don’t get to choose when they happen. I lost my nephew during the presidential campaign, during Bobby’s presidential campaign,” Hines said. “So it was a dramatic time. When you read it, you’ll see everybody has challenges. You don’t get to pick when they come, but you can move through them — it’s not easy, but that’s OK.”

“Life isn’t always supposed to be easy,” she added. “But when it’s good, you should notice that it’s good — pay attention and enjoy it.”

Hollywood legend admits he was ‘dreading’ working with Tom Cruise on fantasy film set
Tim Curry didn’t hold back when voicing his opinion of Tom Cruise, with whom he co-starred in Ridley Scott’s 1985 fantasy film “Legend.”
Curry played the demonic villain Darkness, who seeks to plunge the world into eternal night, while Cruise portrayed the young hero Jack, who sets out on a quest to stop him. At the time, Cruise, then in his early 20s, was a rising star after his breakout performances in the 1983 hits “Risky Business” and “All the Right Moves.”
In his new memoir “Vagabond,” Curry, 79, recalled filming “Legend,” writing that he was unimpressed by Cruise’s celebrity status and “never blown away by his talent.”
“Before we met on the set of Legend, I had seen ‘Risky Business,’ with Tom cast perfectly as the cute, innocent young rebel. And when we finally appeared in a film together, he was very nice and easy to be around — but he’s also quite unique, and not a person I fully understood. We never had any issues, but I cannot say I felt the appeal,” the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” star said.
“Unlike many others in the eighties, I wasn’t desperately star-struck around him; in fact, I was kind of dreading it,” Curry continued. “I couldn’t really identify why. Maybe he sensed my reticence and was consequently a little awkward.”
TIM CURRY SAYS HIS SKULL WAS ‘SMASHED IN’ DURING EMERGENCY SURGERY TO SAVE HIS LIFE AFTER 2012 STROKE
While Curry praised Cruise’s discipline and dedication to the role, he admitted to being bemused by the younger actor’s method habits.
“He was very into fully embodying his role, and I believe even requested to sleep on the snow set because he wanted to feel at home there,” Curry recalled.
Curry wrote that he respected Cruise’s professionalism but found the hype around the “Mission: Impossible” star to be excessive, pointing out Hollywood’s obsession with image and fame.
“In the premise of the film, he loses his power, but he looks great doing it. He has the perks that looks and money bring in Hollywood. I mean, people all over the world want to f— him—and I’m sure that wouldn’t be the worst feeling,” Curry said. “I was just never blown away by his talent.”
Curry, who wrote that the process of “turning me into the Lord of Darkness took roughly six hours” every day, noted that his “senses were no doubt dulled beneath my prosthetics.”
The actor also recalled that he and Cruise actually spent little time together during the production of “Legend.”
“I didn’t really engage with Tom Cruise all that much, perhaps because this wasn’t the type of film where we’d all sit around chatting — Ridley didn’t foster that environment, and in my case my prothetics regimen meant that I couldn’t exactly go out for pints prior to having my horns and hooves removed,” Curry wrote. “By the end of my extrication I would be ready for nowhere but my own bed.”
“There’s not much I can say definitively about him, since we didn’t get to know each other very well, but at the end of the day I found him to be a very thoughtful, considerate colleague—which I appreciated,” he concluded.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Cruise’s representatives for comment.
“Legend,” which was released in April 1986, disappointed at the box office and was met with a lukewarm reception from critics. However, Curry earned praise for his performance and makeup, while Scott was recognized for the movie’s visuals and production design. Cruise’s performance received mixed reviews, with some praising his youthful energy while others felt he was miscast.
Over time, “Legend” gained a cult following, with many fans viewing it as an underrated fantasy classic.
Throughout his memoir, Curry offered his takes on Hollywood and fame and recalled colorful moments from his time living in Los Angeles. The U.K. native noted that as an actor and performer, he was a “career impostor” by definition but wrote that he describes himself as a “vagabond.”
TIM CURRY REVEALS ‘I STILL CAN’T WALK’ IN RARE HEALTH UPDATE AFTER MAJOR STROKE
“Vagabonds learn, often from a young age, that indeed time is fleeting,” Curry noted. “As is fame—a fairly worthless pursuit, really.”
Curry skyrocketed to fame and became a global cult icon after starring as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the 1975 musical comedy horror movie “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Prior to filming the movie, the three-time Tony Award nominee had played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the original London stage production of “The Rocky Horror Show” in 1973. The play was a hit in London, and Curry reprised the role when it moved to Los Angeles in 1974.
In “Vagabond,” Curry shared his initial impressions of LA after relocating to Hollywood for the production.
“Few things are ever the way you expect them to be, as was the case with my first time visiting the United States. The pace there was slower than in London, by my impression, but Hollywood was sufficiently tacky around the edges,” he wrote. “Beyond expectations, the experience freed me an awful lot. Nobody had a clue or gave a s— who I was. I was liberated to completely reinvent myself if I wanted to, personally or professionally.”

Curry recalled staying at Hollywood’s storied hotels, the Chateau Marmont and the Sunset Tower, where he lived among celebrities and observed the drug-fueled Los Angeles scene in the 1970s and 1980s.
“It was an exciting time to be there,” he wrote of his stay at the Sunset Tower. “Stacy Keach lived next door to me and Diana Ross had her office in the penthouse. I used to see her in the lobby, beneath piles of shopping from Beverly Hills.”
“‘Could you please press the button for the elevator for me?’ she’d ask, waiting until someone came over to assist her. I had a feeling it was because she had fabulous long fingernails, the type of talons rivaled only by Barbra Streisand,” Curry continued. “I was delighted to oblige.”
“Iggy Pop lived there as well, which meant that the ambulance would arrive at least once a month, because —as legend went — among Iggy’s party tricks was to dive from his seventh-floor apartment into the pool below,” he added. “Occasionally, he even landed in it.”
“In other words, drugs had arrived in Los Angeles.”

The “It” star noted that he “found the party scene much heavier in LA than in London.” While he wrote that he mostly abstained from drugs, Curry admitted to heavy drinking during his early days in Hollywood.
“I wasn’t deep into clean living and hikes through the Hollywood Hills — I still drank far too much,” he wrote. “Across the board; across the globe.”
However, despite his early skepticism about LA, he recalled that he later found a true sense of belonging in the city. Curry remembered that LA became a place of healing for him after his sister Judy, whom he called “my only lifeline back to myself,” died of a brain tumor at 60.
“I returned to Los Angeles feeling like less of a person. I was very alone, despite having created a network of wonderful, supportive friends. Though it was cold comfort, I was very grateful to return to the house that I had made into my own,” he wrote.

Curry also recalled that the peace and solitude of his LA home helped him with his recovery from the serious stroke that he suffered in 2012.
“Many might define a vagabond as somebody who has no home,” he added. “I’m more inclined to interpret it that any vagabond worth a damn creates many homes in any number of places. Which is what I’ve done in LA.”
“Vagabond” was released on Oct. 14.

Betting markets send clear signal about when government shutdown may end
Traders on prediction platforms Kalshi and Polymarket are betting that the federal government shutdown will last about six weeks, as partisan gridlock shows little sign of easing.
While odds on these markets don’t serve as formal forecasts, they do provide a real-time snapshot of trader expectations.
According to Kalshi’s market data, traders on average expect the shutdown to continue for roughly 44 days.
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN 101: WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Traders are pricing in a 44% probability that the shutdown lasts until Nov. 15, and about a one-in-three chance it continues past Nov. 20.
The trading volume, or the total dollar amount wagered on this market, is a little more than $12.7 million.
SWEEPING LAYOFFS ‘HAVE BEGUN’ AS GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN DRAGS ON
Meanwhile, traders on Polymarket are betting the government shutdown will end around mid-November.
The largest share of traders, about 44%, expect it to conclude after Nov. 16, with a little over $147,000 wagered on that outcome.
The federal government shut down at 12:01 a.m. ET on Oct. 7.
Since 1976, the U.S. government has experienced 20 shutdowns. The longest government shutdown, lasting 34 days – from December 2018 to January 2019 – stemmed from a clash over funding for President Donald Trump‘s border wall.

Senators on Thursday failed for the 10th time to break the impasse, leaving the government shutdown unresolved.
Meanwhile, the House has been adjourned since Sept. 19 and is not expected to reconvene until the shutdown ends.
