Lawyers and approximately 10,000 family members of 9/11 victims represented by groups like '9/11 Justice' plan to use newly uncovered evidence including declassified FBI files, UK intelligence records, and videos to make the case that the Saudi government should be held accountable for their alleged role in the 9/11 terror attacks under the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA).

Republicans are making history in Dallas, holding the party’s first-ever midterm convention as they look to rally voters and candidates ahead of the November elections.

Is AI Destroying Music? A Country Star's Dire Warning

Artificial intelligence isn't just reshaping everyday life; it's also triggering a revolution in the music industry. Today, automated programs churn out millions of songs daily—capturing a massive share of music streams by generating tracks that borrow from real artists without permission or compensation. Armed with Big & Rich's new single "Hello AI," country music star John Rich joins us to expose the threat facing artists, explain why monetizing stolen AI tracks is no different than passing counterfeit money, and demand that Washington step in before human creators are priced out of their own craft. Before 9/11 redefined American national security, the warning signs were already there. Nearly a year prior to the September 11 attacks, al-Qaeda struck the USS Cole in Yemen, killing 17 U.S. sailors and revealing critical vulnerabilities in force protection. As we mark 25 years since 9/11, retired Navy Commander Kirk Lippold—who was at the helm of the Cole during the attack—joins FOX News' Lucas Tomlinson to reflect on how that deadly day foreshadowed a quarter-century of the War on Terror and why the global threat remains far from over.
