The assassination attempt of President Donald Trump in July 2024 rocked America and changed the course of the presidential race.

Nearly two years later, Fox Nation is taking a close look into the minds of the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, and other violent suspected extremists in a new special hosted by Sean Hannity.

“Radicalized: with Sean Hannity” examines the background of Crooks and other alleged violent extremists, including Luigi Mangione and Tyler Robinson. Hannity highlights the consequences of online radicalization, urging viewers to consider its dangers.

“They were young men with futures, kids who once walked around on campuses just like this,” Hannity said. “They made plans, they had dreams, and somewhere between the campus gate and their adult lives, something broke.”

The “Hannity” host is joined by an all-star lineup of experts to give more insight into how these young men traveled down the road to infamy. Author and former FBI special agent Nicole Parker dissected Crooks’ online activity and how he was “very isolated” in his room at home.

“Thomas Crooks was known to be not really social,” she said. “He wasn’t known to have very many friends. In fact, he was kind of a loner. 

“Had no known official psychiatric diagnosis or mental health issue, but he was doing a lot of online searches about major depressive disorders. So, clearly he was suffering.”

Dr. Drew Pinsky, a media personality and addiction specialist, took a more scientific approach to describing Crooks, noting his isolation may have increased his risk of accepting extremist political and cultural views.

“Radicalization really doesn’t start with ideology; it starts with psychological pain,” Pinsky said. “We finally, in my profession, acknowledge that adverse childhood experiences affect mental health and put people at risk of a number of problems, radicalization being one of them.”

EXCLUSIVE: FBI CONCLUDES TRUMP SHOOTER THOMAS CROOKS ACTED ALONE AFTER UNPRECEDENTED GLOBAL INVESTIGATION

In November 2024, the FBI concluded that Crooks, who was killed by a Secret Service counter sniper team, acted alone in an attempt on Trump’s life in Pennsylvania. The announcement came after thousands of interviews across the globe, tracking down any potential connections with the 20-year-old shooter.

Running parallel with online radicalization concerns are domestic terrorism risks. 

A 2023 U.S. Government Accountability Office study showed all but eight states experienced one or more incidents between 2010 and 2021. During the same period, investigations into domestic terrorism incidents have increased by 357%.

“Radicalization is both a mental health issue and a social issue,” Pinsky said. “Young men need their peers, they need outlets, they need to be engaged. And left in a room alone, only bad things can happen.”

Don’t miss the chance to uncover the disturbing mentality of Crooks, Mangione, Robinson and others in “Radicalized: with Sean Hannity,” streaming now exclusively on Fox Nation.

A former baseball prospect turned coach and instructor was killed near where he once aimed to make a name for himself in the big leagues.

Former Houston Astros minor leaguer Jon Kemmer was 35 years old when he was killed over the weekend in a rollover crash in Galveston County.

Explore Jefferson, an outlet near Kemmer’s hometown in Pennsylvania, said Kemmer was on his way from coaching a travel tournament in Houston to his home in Santa Fe, Texas, when he crashed.

The outlet, citing the Galveston County Medical Examiner’s Office, said Kemmer was traveling on a rural road when his vehicle struck an electrical pole shortly after 6 p.m. local time. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Kemmer was the lone occupant of the vehicle.

Kemmer had been coaching the HTX Battle Bucks 14U travel baseball team at the Triple Play Classic in Houston, the outlet reported.

The Astros drafted Kemmer out of Brewton-Parker College in Mount Vernon, Georgia, in the 21st round of the 2013 MLB Draft, and he made it all the way to Triple-A in 2019. However, the cancellation of the minor league season due to COVID-19 seemed to have put an end to his career.

He suited up in the Dominican Winter League in 2020, but his last appearance in minor league ball was 2019. His DWL stint was his last in professional baseball.

In Triple-A ball, he hit .265 with an .830 OPS in 362 total games, spanning from 2016 through 2019. He also played for the Minnesota Twins‘ and Los Angeles Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliates.

Kemmer also played stints in foreign minor leagues, hitting .355 with a 1.005 OPS in Mexico’s Triple-A level in 2019 before playing for the Oklahoma City Dodgers, Los Angeles’ Triple-A squad. He participated in spring training with the Astros in 2017 and 2018.

Kemmer was a high school prodigy, hitting .727 in his senior year of high school. In his final season of college, he hit .387 with a 1.206 OPS.

Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., joined CNN’s “The Situation Room” Tuesday to defend President Donald Trump’s controversy surrounding Pope Leo XIV, while arguing that the papacy should remain strictly spiritual.

In a sharp exchange with CNN anchors Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown, Stefanik addressed the Trump’s recent criticisms of Pope Leo, the first American-born pontiff. Trump has recently targeted the Chicago-born Pope, calling him “weak” on foreign policy regarding the war in Iran.

“I don’t want to see the Pope as a politician,” Stefanik said. “The President of the United States is a political figure. Of course, he’s going to be engaged in politics when he’s politically attacked.”

Stefanik argued that religious authority should be distinct from the political fray, pointing to a spiritual resurgence rather than policy debates.

 “I want to see the Pope continue to focus on the Gospel,” she said. “What I think we can highlight as Catholics… is the increased number of new Catholics entering the church, and that’s a great success for the Catholic Church long-term.”

When asked about Trump’s now-deleted AI-generated images that appeared to depict him as a Christ-like figure, Stefanik acknowledged the controversy while shifting focus to policy outcomes. Trump, however, defended the photo, saying he viewed it as “a picture of me being a doctor in fixing — you had the Red Cross right there, you had, you know, medical people surrounding me.”

When asked about the now-deleted AI-generated image shared by President Trump that critics said depicted him as a Jesus-like figure, Stefanik acknowledged the controversy. Trump defended the post earlier this week, claiming the robes and surrounding figures represented him as a “doctor” in a Red Cross setting.

“Certainly the president made the correct decision in taking it down,” Stefanik said. “I know CNN loves to focus on the tweets and memes of President Trump. I look at his record of results.”

The discussion later turned to allegations involving Rep. Eric Swalwell, where Stefanik sharply criticized both the congressman and media coverage of the claims.

The discussion grew most contentious regarding the sudden resignations of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, who both stepped down on Tuesday amid mounting sexual misconduct allegations.

“Frankly, I believe criminal crimes were committed,” Stefanik said, adding it is “deeply disturbing.”

“The media should have done more coverage of this,” she continued. “This was sort of whispered about for many, many years.”

Brown challenged Stefanik on why GOP leadership didn’t act sooner, given the rumors.

“I think, correctly, he was forced to resign,” Stefanik countered. “But that was only after the public came forward and these brave women and, frankly, staff members came forward. I think that every member, if there are these types of scandalous behaviors, they need to resign immediately, no matter what party they’re in.”

Stefanik also addressed the scrutiny facing Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., who has faced separate allegations of misconduct. 

“My advice as a member of Congress is these members need to look in the mirror,” Stefanik said. “They know if they have been conducting themselves unfitting for the office, they need to resign.”

Blitzer pressed Stefanik on whether she was applying a double standard, citing the 2023 civil jury finding that Donald Trump was liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll.

“There’s absolutely not a double standard,” Stefanik replied. “If anything, the media is not focused on holding Democrats to account.”

She concluded by distinguishing between the “lawfare” she claims has been used against Trump and the evidence in the Swalwell case. 

“Look at the text. Look at the videos of Eric Swalwell… That is very different than the lawfare and the politicization that we have seen,” she said. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the offices of Tony Gonzales and Cory Mills for further comment. Rep. Swalwell’s office referred all inquiries to his resignation statement issued Tuesday.
