‘All over the place’: Canada’s Mark Carney’s Iran pivot raises US fallout fears
In less than a week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has gone from supporting U.S. actions against Iran to raising the issue that the U.S. and Israel “acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting with allies, including Canada” to on Wednesday not ruling out Canadian military participation in the conflict.
“He’s been all over the place,” Nader Hashemi, a Canadian-born associate professor of Middle East politics at Georgetown University, told Fox News Digital. “It doesn’t look very good for him or for the government of Canada.”
“My own reading is that he’s influenced by public opinion and his understanding of Canada’s national interests and where they lie, and specifically the relationship with the United States at its core. His first statement was very supportive of the American-Israeli attack and then he walked it back two days later when he got a lot of pushback because there was no reference to Canada’s support for international law, rules-based order and the United Nations.”
When asked whether Canada would join the U.S. military against Iran during his visit to Australia on Wednesday, Carney told reporters that “one can never categorically rule out participation” and that Canada “will stand by our allies, when makes sense.”
However, former NATO commander and retired Canadian major-general David Fraser told CTV News Channel that it’s “unlikely” that Canada would be drawn into the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran unless a member state, such as Turkey, called for assistance under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.
Carney’s latest comments signal the Canadian prime minister’s desire to ensure that “it doesn’t create a deeper rupture with the United States than already exists,” said Hashemi.
Melissa Lantsman, deputy leader of the Canadian Conservative Party, summarized the prime minister’s changing position on the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran with a post on X: “We support it, we’re upset about it, we think it’s bad, but also, we might join in.”
Her colleague, Michael Chong, the Conservative shadow minister for foreign affairs, told Canadian broadcaster CTV that “supporting the airstrikes and at the same time calling for a secession of those strikes” is “an inherent contradiction.”

Carney has also had pushback from the political left.
After the airstrikes against Iran began, Alexandre Boulerice, foreign affairs critic for the New Democratic Party of Canada, said in a statement that his party “strongly condemns the American and Israeli bombings of Iran” and “deplores the Carney government’s decision to blindly support this dangerous venture by Israel and Donald Trump’s administration. We want Canada to be a voice for diplomacy, peace and international law.”
During his Australian tour this week, the prime minister said that “hegemons are increasingly acting without constraint or respect for international norms or laws while others bear the consequences.”
He also said Canada supports “efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security,” but noted that Canada “take[s] this position with regret because the current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order.”
Carney said that “Canada calls for a rapid de-escalation of hostilities and is prepared to assist in achieving this goal.”

At a security and defense conference in Ottawa, also this week, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said that Canada calls “on all sides to respect the rules of international engagement” and that “international law binds all parties” in the Middle East conflict.
The results of an Angus Reid Institute poll, involving 1,619 respondents and released on Tuesday, showed that 49% of Canadians opposed the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes against Iran, while 34% were supportive.
Homeland Security secretary axed following explosive allegations at hearing
Kristi Noem, the former South Dakota congresswoman and governor who has led President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security in his second term, was ousted from her position on Thursday.
Trump announced on Truth Social that he will nominate Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to replace Noem, effective March 31.
“The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’”
In her first official statement on X following her departure, Noem thanked Trump for her upcoming appointment.
“Secretary [Marco] Rubio and Secretary of War [Pete Hegseth] are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren.”
“The western hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard,” she added.
Trump said Mullin has done a “tremendous job” in Congress and cited his resume as a former undefeated MMA fighter.
“As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible Tribal Communities. Markwayne will work tirelessly to Keep our Border Secure, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, End the Scourge of Illegal Drugs and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN,” Trump said.
Mullin is the first Native American senator in decades, following Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado. He appeared just as caught off guard by the announcement as the rest of Washington.
After dashing to vote for DHS funding, which ultimately failed again, and then sneaking through the back of the Senate, he held court on the steps outside the upper chamber. When asked if he was headed to the White House to meet with Trump, he said he wasn’t sure.
“I think I need to talk to my wife first,” Mullin said.
Mullin currently does not serve on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the panel that will be responsible for confirming him. But, he does have a strong relationship with Trump.
“I’ve got to be honest with you, I wasn’t expecting the call today, but I am super excited. And I’m more excited about just getting ready to get started,” Mullin said. “There’s a lot of work we can do to get our Homeland Security working, you know, working for the American people.”
Noem, 54, will likely be at least temporarily replaced by Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar, a Navy veteran and former mayor of Los Alamitos, California, in the line of succession for the agency.
Noem’s tenure marked a distinct reversal of the open-border policies permitted by predecessor Alejandro Mayorkas during the Biden administration, and DHS has notched record drug interdictions totaling more than half a million pounds of illegal drugs in her first year.
Her management of Trump’s mass deportation agenda has also led to more than 2 million reported self-deportations in 2025 and about 670,000 removals of illegal immigrants, a figure supporters have hailed as the most successful immigration enforcement operation in history.
Her agency has also been unafraid to hit back at high-profile critics, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom; Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.; Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz; and 2026 midterm candidate David Trone of Maryland, who accused DHS of “executing people in the streets” as he filmed a protest ad outside a Williamsport compound recently purchased for use as a detention facility.
Such criticisms of her mass deportation operations, particularly in Minneapolis, appeared to somewhat sour public sentiment on the administration’s handling of the immigration issue, as U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino — a DHS subordinate — was replaced in the Twin Cities by border czar Tom Homan amid the firestorm.
Meanwhile, reports surfaced Thursday that Trump is “furious” with Noem over her performance in bicameral Judiciary Committee hearings this week, particularly over a contract for an advertisement that Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., and others grilled her on.
Trump reportedly took issue with her suggesting to Kennedy that he approved a taxpayer-funded ad subcontracted to a firm connected with her inner circle, according to National Review, which also reported that Mullin was being considered a top candidate for her replacement.
A White House official confirmed to Fox News that Trump did not know about the ad and did not approve it, despite her claims to the contrary at the hearings.
“It was a combination of her many unfortunate leadership failures. From [Minnesota] to the ad campaign to the allegations of an affair,” a source familiar with the situation told Fox News.
When confronted by reporters on the Capitol steps, Mullin indicated he had only short notice of Trump’s decision to pick him as Noem’s successor.
“No, the president and I still have to communicate so we’ll talk about it moving forward,” Mullin said. “The president and I have already talked – We have to talk to the president and get on the same page… I’ll talk to you all [later].”
In Wednesday’s House hearing, Noem was questioned by Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., over rumors of an affair with DHS “special government employee” Corey Lewandowski, a top figure in Trump’s 2016 campaign.
TRUMP UNLOADS ON ‘RADICAL LEFT’ AS HE STANDS BY KRISTI NOEM AMID IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT UNREST
Noem criticized Kamlager-Dove in response, as her husband, insurance company owner and former South Dakota first gentleman Bryon Noem, sat just feet behind her.
Kamlager-Dove asked Noem if at any time during her tenure she had “sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski,” before slamming the longtime Trump aide as a “failed campaign manager” and someone lacking military experience.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., followed up, pressing Noem on Lewandowski while wearing a Justice for Cricket pin, referencing the dog Noem once wrote she had to euthanize on her farm.
“I really think you need to say the word ‘no’ into the record so that you can clear that up,” Moskowitz said.
Noem pushed back hard on both Democrats, saying what they were implying is “offensive” and telling Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, that she was “shocked that we’re going down and peddling this tabloid garbage in this committee today.”
“The socialist, liberal left: you go off and you attack conservative women and you say that we’re either stupid or we’re sluts. That’s what you do. And I will tell you sir… I am neither of those,” Noem fumed at Moskowitz.
Through the recent turmoil, many Republicans remained highly complimentary of Noem’s tenure.

When Swalwell pressed her on the ad campaign and contract, Noem shot back that while the Alameda Democrat was “focusing on photo-ops and luxury jets, I’m focused on the fact that the Coast Guard might not get paid because your party is choosing not to fund them.”

Carville doubles down, urges Omar to leave Democratic Party after she condemns key group
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville condemned Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for attacking White males during a Wednesday episode of SiriusXM’s “Straight Shooter with Stephen A.”
Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith asked James Carville about a recently resurfaced clip from May 2025 where the strategist had challenged Omar to leave the Democratic Party and start her own. Smith asked him to explain what caused this expression of deep frustration.
Carville replied that Omar has some admirable qualities and is liked by many, “but she started attacking White males, and I’m gonna say, ‘Wait a minute, let’s stop. Alright.’ In 2024, 72% of the people that voted were White. All right? That’s just a fact. Of that, 72, probably 48% or 48 and a half, were male.”
He then concluded from his calculation that “about 33% of the people that are gonna vote are gonna be White males. Well, it’s stupid to attack 33% of the voters!”
Carville continued, “And so what I would say to Congresswoman Omar, ‘Why don’t you be a Democratic Socialist of America?’ Do what AOC did, and then if they win, the truth of that is, I share a lot of ideological issues in common with Congressman Omar, but maybe you should do like a parliamentary government. We’ll let you in the governing coalition, but not the electoral coalition.”
“But we cannot- we have to get this mentality out that we can win national elections [without] White people, because you can’t,” Carville said. “That we can somehow or another win an election without White males. It’s just insanity. It’s literally mathematical insanity, cultural insanity.
Smith, who has become a frequent political commentator himself, asked Carville how he would reply to critics who would say that President Donald Trump is the one who has cultivated a large following of White males.
Carville blasted such critics, arguing that being a White male does not mean that one should be seen as part of a monolith.
CARVILLE TELLS DEMS THEY CAN WIN WITH AFFORDABILITY AGENDA IF THEY ‘QUIT F—ING AROUND’ WITH ‘CULTURAL STUFF’
“Because I’m a White male, I’m different than other people?” Carville asked. He went on to blast how, in modern discourse, one of the great failures is that even non-White groups are collectively referred to as people “of-color” as if, even at the scale of multiple racial groups, they could all collectively be seen as a monolith.
“All White people are not the same. All Black people are not the same. All Hispanic people are not the same, all right? ” Carville replied. “And I don’t like generalizing about someone’s gender or their race or their sexual preference or anything else. All gay people are not the same. They’re very different personalities. They’re very different values, very different everything.”

He then concluded, “And I just don’t like, and I know when people say it, that they’re trying to be inclusive in their language, but I don’t think they stop and think of what they’re telling somebody.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Rep, Ilhan Omar and did not receive an immediate reply.

Popular pizza chain ranked America’s most overpriced overall in new study
A new study claims it has identified the most overpriced pizza chain in the U.S. — and the top spot may surprise pizza lovers.
ACE.com, a social gaming platform, analyzed 247,927 Google reviews from 19,942 pizza restaurants to pinpoint price-related complaints.
The study, which was shared with Fox News Digital, was based on Google reviews across 30 major U.S. cities. Separately, ACE.com also analyzed Grubhub menu prices in 45 cities to determine where pizza costs the most.
The platform used AI-powered natural language processing (NLP) to parse keywords such as “overpriced” and “expensive.”
Researchers factored in the “frequency of price-related complaints,” along with customer ratings.
The study listed Round Table Pizza as the most overpriced pizza chain, with an average rating of 4.00 and 71 price complaints per 1,000 reviews.
AMERICA’S 5 BEST FAST-FOOD PEPPERONI PIZZAS RANKED
Researchers conceded that Round Table received positive comments about the quality of its ingredients, but that pricing “appears to be a recurring concern.”
The study noted, “One customer wrote, ‘Good pizza, great space, but very overpriced,’ while another noted, ‘Round Table is mega overpriced — even though it doesn’t taste that bad.'”
Domino’s and Pizza Hut were listed as the second and third most overpriced pizza chains, respectively.

Domino’s had 14 price complaints per 1,000 reviews — while Pizza Hut had 20, the study found.
Researchers factored in Domino’s and Pizza Hut’s wide reach — across 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico — and their ratings of 3.49 and 3.54.
“Despite their reputations as value-focused brands, both chains face frequent criticism regarding pricing,” the study said.

Sbarro had 62 price complaints per 1,000 reviews — a high number — and an average rating of 3.36, but ACE.com determined it deserved fourth place.
Pizza Ranch recorded the highest rate of price complaints — 73 per 1,000 reviews — but ranked seventh overall, likely reflecting its stronger 4.13 average rating.

The platform also found that San Jose, California, was the most expensive city for ordering pizza — while El Paso, Texas, offered the best value.
“If a guest is looking for lower-priced entry points, we offer a Royal Rewards program and value-driven limited-time offers and bundle deals.”
Round Table Pizza told Fox News Digital that it prides itself on “providing high-quality offerings to our guests.”
“We utilize gold-standard ingredients, including premium meats and our signature three-cheese blend, all layered to the edge of our hand-crafted pizzas,” the spokesperson said.

Rep Tony Gonzales says he will not seek re-election amid ethics investigation into affair
Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, announced Thursday evening he will not seek re-election amid a House Ethics investigation into an affair he admitted to having with a former staffer.
Gonzales, a married father of 6, admitted to the affair for the first time during an appearance on a conservative talk radio show on Wednesday – a day after advancing to the GOP primary runoff for his congressional district.
“At 18, I swore an oath to defend our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. During my 20 years in the military and three terms in Congress, I have fought for that cause with absolute dedication to the country that I love,” Gonzales said in a statement.
“From overcoming the border crisis to taking a stand with my communities after the worst school shooting in Texas’ history, my philosophy has never changed: do as much as you can, and always fight for the greater good,” he continued.
“After deep reflection and with the support of my loving family, I have decided not to seek re-election while serving out the rest of this Congress with the same commitment I’ve always had to my district,” he added. “Through the rest of my term, I will continue fighting for my constituents, for whom I am eternally grateful.”
“I made a mistake, and I had a lapse in judgment, and there was a lack of faith, and I take full responsibility for those actions,” he said on “The Joe Pags Show” Wednesday night. “Since then, I’ve reconciled with my wife, Angel. I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has, and my faith is as strong as ever.”
The House Ethics Committee also launched an investigation into Gonzales on Wednesday to determine if he engaged in sexual misconduct with a female member of his staff and whether he doled out special favors or privileges as a result.
The former staffer, Regina Santos-Aviles, died after setting herself on fire outside her home late last year.
MIKE JOHNSON ASKS EMBATTLED HOUSE REPUBLICAN TONY GONZALES TO DROP RE-ELECTION BID
House GOP leaders called on the embattled representative to drop his re-election bid.
“The Ethics Committee has announced an investigation into Congressman Tony Gonzales’s conduct, and we urge them to act expeditiously. Congressman Gonzales has said he will fully cooperate with the investigation,” Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and other top Republicans said in a statement this week.
“We have encouraged him to address these very serious allegations directly with his constituents and his colleagues. In the meantime, Leadership has asked Congressman Gonzales to withdraw from his race for re-election,” they added.
Gonzales’ departure paves the way for challenger Brandon Herrera to take the nomination. Herrera narrowly edged Gonzales by a 43.33% – 41.73% margin in Texas’ GOP primary for the 23rd congressional district on Tuesday, causing a runoff due to neither candidate earning 50% of the vote.

Herrera called his opponent’s withdrawal from the race the “appropriate decision.”
“I appreciate Tony Gonzales for making the appropriate decision,” Herrera wrote on X. “I look forward to being the voice of TX23 that our district deserves. From the border, to oil theft, water rights, data centers, and many other issues. It’s an honor to be chosen and together we will make Texas proud.”
Gonzales initially said he would not step down in the face of the accusations, telling reporters in late February “what you’ve seen is not all the facts.”
Federal judge takes sole control of massive $130B tariff refund process
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Wednesday to begin the drawn-out task of refunding billions of dollars to companies that paid tariffs the Supreme Court recently invalidated.
Judge Richard Eaton, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, laid out the estimated $130 billion refund process in a three-page order, saying it would begin with U.S. Customs and Border Protection calculating what importers would have paid without the now-invalid tariffs. Eaton also made clear he had sole jurisdiction over the refunds, which more than 1,000 companies have sued over in the U.S. Court of International Trade.
“The Chief Judge has indicated that I am the only judge who will hear cases pertaining to the refund of [International Emergency Economic Powers Act] duties,” Eaton wrote. “So there is no danger that another Judge, even one in this Court, will reach any contrary conclusions.”
The case in question was brought by Atmus Filtration, Inc., a company that paid President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which Trump imposed on nearly every country on an emergency basis under IEEPA last year.
The IEEPA is a 1977 law that allows the president – after declaring a national emergency in response to foreign threats – to regulate or block certain economic transactions, such as by imposing sanctions.
The Supreme Court decided 6-3 in February to block Trump’s use of the emergency law to impose sweeping tariffs on trading partners. The majority held that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs, even after a national emergency declaration, because Congress did not clearly grant the executive branch that power.
All importers who paid those duties were entitled to benefit from the Supreme Court’s ruling, Eaton said.
Eaton said CBP should calculate the affected imports as if the tariffs had never applied, which the judge signaled would eventually pave the way for refunds to the companies.
TRUMP RESPONDS TO SUPREME COURT RULING REJECTING SWEEPING TARIFFS POWERS: ‘A DISGRACE’
The Supreme Court majority left the refund process unaddressed in its decision, leaving it to the lower courts to mete out. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, however, questioned in his dissent how the U.S. Treasury could go about refunding companies to the tune of billions of dollars, warning of “serious practical consequences.”
“The United States may be required to refund billions of dollars to importers who paid the IEEPA tariffs, even though some importers may have already passed on costs to consumers or others,” Kavanaugh wrote. “As was acknowledged at oral argument, the refund process is likely to be a ‘mess.’”
Eaton disputed that notion during a hearing just prior to issuing his order.

“There is nothing particularly novel about the provision of refunds. … I believe that there will be no chaos associated with the provision of these refunds and that it will not result in a mess,” Eaton said, according to Politico.
The Trump administration indicated during the hearing that it is likely to appeal Eaton’s order to delay it from taking effect. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.
Eaton is set to preside over a closed-door conference with the parties in the case on Friday to further discuss the refund process.
Nurse calls on China to attack US and remove Trump ‘regime’ in viral TikTok
A Florida nurse posted a video on TikTok calling on foreign governments, including China and the United Kingdom, to attack the United States in order to remove what she described as the “regime” of President Donald Trump.
“Come on, Canada, come on, UK, come on, China, you know you wanna do it,” Joyce Schulz-Killian said in a recent video posted to TikTok.
“Come in and attack [the] United States,” she continued in the video. “You don’t like our regime, we don’t like it either. Help us. Please, help the United States. Come in, come in, help us! We’ll figure it out. We don’t like our regime either. Come on! Help us!”
The original video was later set to a private setting.
Schulz-Killian is the owner and lead nurse advocate at her business, At Your Request Patient Advocate, which describes itself on its website as a provider of private nurse patient advocacy services.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Schulz-Killian said she posted the video “to bring awareness that NOT all Americans support the regime in place of Donald Trump. Some of the Americans grew up believing in the Constitution and that the government is for the people, by the people. That Congress represents the people and not one person is in charge, even the President has oversight.”
She added that she has concerns about what she described as unchecked executive actions and alleged constitutional violations.
“I wanted to mention my fears that America is attacking boats without cause, killing our own United States citizens and calling them terrorists, sending US troops to foreign countries in war, making decisions without oversight and then not following court orders when they do come down,” she said.
FIRED NURSE WHO WISHED CHILDBIRTH INJURY ON KAROLINE LEAVITT SAYS ‘F— YOU’ TO CRITICS
“There appears to be no checks and balances,” she continued in her statement. “Just because we don’t like a regime of another country, is it in our place to kill the leader or bomb the country and a school of 175 children and educators and then deny it right to our faces. If that is true, then couldn’t other countries concerned about the American well-being come and help us from this dictator leadership we appear to have. Court orders are not followed. That is all I was saying is, this is not what I was taught about how the government works and the three levels of branches. The President did not believe in the Constitution when he took his Oath. We are in a Constitutional crisis and all the other countries see it, but us.”
On her company website, Schulz-Killian states she earned a BSN in 2012, her certificate for patient advocacy from Cleveland State University in 2015, and credentials including Certified Senior Advisor CSA in 2016.
The website says her company serves clients across the United States.
UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER CALLS FOR ASSASSINATION OF CONSERVATIVE VOICES IN SOCIAL MEDIA POST

Drew Carey ignored heart attack symptoms and went to a restaurant to eat chili spaghetti
Drew Carey said he didn’t realize he was having a heart attack during the run of his ‘90s to early 2000s hit “The Drew Carey Show” because he believed the misconception that a person is supposed to clench their heart and fall down.
“I was really overweight, and we were supposed to come back to taping,” Carey told Ted Danson on his podcast, “Where Everybody Knows Your Name,” Wednesday.
Carey said he decided to start jogging to lose weight before he went back to the show.
“So, I had a little chest heart monitor and whatever. And I was jogging down my street, and my heart rate went up to like 160 or something like that, like really crazy, and I was like, ‘Oh,’ And I felt like numb in my shoulder.”
He said he was experiencing “all the things that I read were heart attack symptoms, but I thought if you had a heart attack, you would go and fall down like in a cartoon. I thought that’s what happened when you had a heart attack.”
His immediate response was “Oh, that’s really worrisome. Let me slow down.”
The comedian’s heart slowed down to about 80 beats per minute, he said, “which is already high anyway. And then I started again, and it shot right up, and it happened a couple times.”
Carey said he even crossed paths with a deer during his run, which he had heard is “supposed to be an omen about something.”
5 CELEBRITIES WHO WENT PUBLIC WITH ALARMING HEALTH DIAGNOSES IN 2025
The 67-year-old decided to walk home, and he said he called his girlfriend and told her, “I had the weirdest thing. I had all these, like, heart attack-like symptoms. Really worried me,” he said. “And she goes, ‘Oh, baby, is there anything you want to do and anything I can do for you?’”
He said he told her he wanted to go to Bob’s Big Boy, where he ate chili spaghetti and an iced tea.
“Yeah, after having a heart attack.”
Carey promised his girlfriend he’d call the doctor in the morning.
JELLY ROLL’S DOCTOR ASKED ‘HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?’ AFTER SEEING HIS ALARMING HEALTH TESTS BEFORE WEIGHT LOSS
“The next day was the first day back, and we were doing a big special, like stunt show. And so there’s a bunch of people there,” he continued. “And when I got there it was all, ‘Hello, hello, how was your summer? How’ve you been?’ And I didn’t call the doctor, and I did rehearsal and I felt OK.”
But once the rehearsal was over, he said he felt something in his chest tighten again.
“And I went, ‘Oh, I’ll be right back. Let me go to my trailer,” he said. “‘Let me go to the trailer and call the doctor.’ And I went to the trailer, and when I went to step up the stairs to my trailer, I really went like, ‘Oh boy, that was rough.’ And I got on the phone to the producer. I said, ‘Hey, you have to call the ambulance. I think I’m having a heart attack.’”
JELLY ROLL’S 300-POUND MILESTONE TOPS A LIST OF STUNNING CELEBRITY WEIGHT-LOSS TRANSFORMATIONS
Carey said he was so worried he called his friend Sam Simon, who developed “The Simpsons” and was also working on “The Drew Carey Show” to say goodbye before he went to the hospital.
“So, Sam came over to my trailer, and I go, ‘Hey man, I don’t know what’s happening, but I’m on my way to the hospital,'” he said. “I just wanted to make sure I touched him before I went off because I didn’t know what was going to happen.”
“The Price is Right” host was in the hospital overnight, and his doctor inserted a stent during a procedure.
“I left the next day, and I was just like weak as a kitten,” he recalled, adding that actor Marc Vahanian, who was also on the podcast, showed up at his house and went for a 30-minute walk with him for his first post-heart attack workout.

“Chili spaghetti after a heart attack,” he added.
Later in the podcast, Carey said that before he started to lose weight he would barely even touch a vegetable.

“I would go to a steak place and have the steak, the bread, the loaded mashed potatoes, a couple beers and then a dessert. And whatever vegetable was there, I would just leave it there.”
Vahanian also introduced Carey to the doctor he still has who helped him turn his “weight around.”

“After that, I would go to a steakhouse, I’d eat the steak, the vegetables, not order a potato or not touch it, not really have the bread and I just drink water all day,” he said. “Like, I don’t even drink — I don’t drink alcohol at all anymore. It’s wild.”
Now, he often eats salads for lunch, and he still thinks, “When I’m eating, like, a salad that has green beans and stuff in it, I’m like, ‘Man, 20 years ago, 25 years ago, I wouldn’t have touched this.’”
Carey narrowly escaped a massive heart attack that summer in 2001 but had an artery that was 95% blocked, according to ABC News.
Chiefs star Travis Kelce spotted with Trump granddaughter Kai at Tiger’s golf event
Travis Kelce got an invitation to Tiger Woods’ The Golf League (TGL) earlier this week, and he he got to mingle with President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai.
The Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end was spotted chit-chatting with Kai before an event that featured Woods’ Jupiter Links team against The Bay Golf Club, according to a video from Tyler Boronski.
Kelce and his brother, Jason, attended the event, which featured a hole-in-one from Tom Kim, helping Woods’ team reach the playoffs.

Trump was first spotted at the TGL events last year, shortly before Woods and Trump’s mother, Vanessa, the ex-wife of Don Jr., made their relationship public that March.
Kelce and the president have yet to meet face to face publicly, but Kelce met former President Joe Biden in both 2023 and 2024 when celebrating back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
Woods and Vanessa Trump have kept their relationship relatively quiet. When they went public last year, Woods asked for privacy. Both Vanessa and Kai attended the Genesis Invitational last month at Riviera, which Woods hosted. Vanessa was also at Monday night’s TGL event.
A report in July said the two were “very serious,” and “wedding bells” could be chiming, but nothing along those lines has been made public.
Woods announced his relationship with Trump, Donald Jr.’s ex-wife, March 23, 2025.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts,” Woods wrote in his post.
Woods’ son, Charlie, and Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, are both competitive golfers. Kai has committed to play at the University of Miami, while Charlie will attend Florida State.
Charlie and Kai played at the same tournament in June.
After his highly publicized divorce from Elin Nordegren, Woods was linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn in the 2010s.
