The U.S. military released dramatic new video on Tuesday showing parts of one of the largest combat search-and-rescue operations in its history, including the moment elite Air Force pararescue operators reached a badly injured American airman stranded deep inside Iran.

The footage documents portions of the massive April operation to rescue the two-man crew of an F-15E Strike Eagle, call sign Dude 44, after the fighter was shot down by an Iranian shoulder-fired missile.

The pilot, known as Dude44 Alpha, and the backseat weapons systems officer, Dude44 Bravo, ejected from the aircraft and landed miles apart, leaving both stranded inside Iran.

While Dude44 Alpha was rescued after a little more than six hours, Dude44 Bravo suffered a broken back, arm and shoulder after a damaged parachute led to a hard landing. He remained stranded for nearly two days before U.S. forces reached him.

The newly released video shows U.S. military helicopters searching for Bravo as American forces worked to locate and recover him.

Despite his injuries, Bravo moved away from his landing site and began climbing toward a roughly 7,000-foot ridgeline as daylight revealed the desert valley and steep cliffs surrounding him.

The footage also shows American bombers and drones striking Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces that were in close proximity to Bravo.

TRUMP RETALIATES AFTER IRAN ATTACK AS EXPERT WARNS REGIME IS GROWING MORE DANGEROUS

"There was clear intent out of the Iranian ground force to come find those two guys," Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine told CBS News this week.

The video then shows the dramatic moment on April 5 when two elite Air Force pararescue operators, known as PJs, reached the injured Bravo on the mountain ridgeline.

Two large search-and-rescue aircraft had landed on a makeshift desert runway before smaller "Little Bird" helicopters flew toward Bravo's position on the ridgeline.

Bravo called the moment he saw his rescuers "one of the greatest moments of my life."

"Let's go," he recalled telling them.

The second rescue operation put 92 U.S. service members on the ground in Iran, marking the first time American forces had boots on the ground in the country since 1980.

Hundreds of U.S. service members also supported the operation from the air, while between 3,000 and 5,000 service members supported the rescue mission overall, according to U.S. Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper.

But the operation was not over once Bravo was reached.

The landing gear of the two rescue aircraft became trapped in the desert sand, stranding Bravo and more than 90 U.S. service members inside Iran. A clandestine Air Force unit was ultimately brought in to extract the group, CBS News reported.

Bravo was finally brought to safety roughly 50 hours after Dude 44 was shot down. The rescue was completed as the sun rose on Easter Sunday.

Multiple executions are scheduled in the U.S. in as many states within a 24-hour window this week.

Georgia and Texas had each planned to put a man to death within an hour of each other on Wednesday before a court stepped in to halt the one in Georgia for now, while Alabama is set to carry out another execution the following day. Texas remains scheduled to execute LeJames Norman on Wednesday after a Georgia judge stayed Stacey Humphreys' execution late Tuesday.

In the Peach State, 53-year-old Stacey Humphreys was set to be executed on Wednesday for his conviction in the 2003 murders of two real estate agents, 21-year-old Lori Brown and 33-year-old Cindy Williams. But a Cobb County judge stayed his execution late Tuesday, meaning the execution cannot move forward unless the stay is lifted or overturned by a higher court.

About an hour after that execution was initially set to happen, Texas scheduled to execute LeJames Norman, 40, for the triple murder of his neighbors during a robbery that turned deadly in 2005.

GEORGIA KILLER WHO MURDERED TWO SUBURBAN REAL ESTATE AGENTS FACES EXECUTION AFTER 23-YEAR WAIT FOR JUSTICE

Then on Thursday, Alabama plans to execute Jeffery Lee, 50, for a double murder carried out during a 1998 pawn shop holdup.

"It's not very common to have this many executions just across a couple of days," Death Penalty Information Center Executive Director Robin Maher told Fox News Digital. "This month, the month of September, we have seven executions scheduled. Last year in October, we had seven executions in a single month. But before then, we'd have to go back all the way to 2010 to see that number in a single month."

"Just earlier this year, in August, there were three executions on the same day," she continued. "This is an unusual year in that we're seeing occurrences like a number of executions scheduled on the same day or during the same month. But there's no evidence there's any coordination among the states to have all these executions occur simultaneously. This looks largely to be a coincidence."

On Aug. 13, three states — Tennessee, Oklahoma and Alabama — carried out three lethal injections on the same day, marking the first time three states executed prisoners on the same day since January 7, 2010.

Weeks earlier, on July 28, Florida carried out two executions in a single day, which was the Sunshine State's first double execution in decades.

FLORIDA EXECUTES 74-YEAR-OLD FOR WIFE'S MURDER, BECOMING OLDEST INMATE PUT TO DEATH IN STATE'S MODERN HISTORY

In 2026, 25 executions have been carried out in the U.S., and 14 are scheduled for the remainder of the year, although that number could change if courts issue stays or states schedule additional executions.

Last year, 11 states carried out 47 executions, making up the most executions carried out in a single year in the U.S. since 2009.

Leading the way in executions is Florida, which set a record with 19 inmates put to death in 2025, more than 40% of the U.S. total for the year. It also carried out 15 so far in 2026, accounting for 60% of this year's total across the country.

Across 2025 and 2026 thus far, Florida accounts for about 47% of the nation’s executions, as it continues its accelerated pace amid a flurry of death warrants signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Texas, Alabama and South Carolina followed Florida, with eight, six and five executions, respectively, in that window. Texas carried out five executions in 2025 and three so far in 2026, Alabama executed five people in 2025 and one in 2026 and South Carolina put five people to death — all in 2025.

"Last year was a very unusual year. It was the most executions we've seen in 15 years in the United States," Maher said. "This year, we do not expect to reach that number of executions again. There are a number of other warrants that are still open for this year, but I don't think we'll reach the high that we reached last year."

"All of this is really due to Florida," she added. "Gov. DeSantis has decided that he wants to set a record in the number of executions that are conducted during his term. He has scheduled an execution for roughly every two weeks in the state of Florida, both last year and this year."

Two executions remain scheduled in Florida for the rest of 2026. Curtis Beasley, 77, is set to be executed Sept. 29 for the 1995 murder of a woman who was bludgeoned with a hammer, while William Lee Thompson, 74, is scheduled for execution Oct. 13 for the 1976 murder of a woman who was beaten, tortured and killed with a chain-link belt.

A few months ago, I wrote about one of my favorite phrases used by Democratic politicians in Washington, D.C.: "Pay your fair share." Politicians love saying wealthy Americans aren't paying enough. The problem is the numbers tell a different story.

The top 1% of taxpayers already pay roughly 40% of federal individual income taxes. The top 10% pay the overwhelming majority of taxes. So, here's my question.

If that isn't enough, what exactly is enough?

BILLIONAIRE BEZOS SUGGESTS NO TAXES FOR HALF THE NATION. IS THAT CRAZY OR OVERDUE?

Because the debate isn't stopping at ordinary income taxes. Soon it will be capital gains taxes, Social Security taxes and then estate taxes. Here are five more ways successful Americans could increasingly find themselves paying even more.

This is the easiest one. Need more money? Raise the top tax bracket.

FORMER WASHINGTON GOVERNOR RIPS HER OWN PARTY FOR PUSHING MILLIONAIRES OUT

But high earners already pay the highest federal marginal income-tax rate, plus state income taxes that can push combined marginal rates significantly higher in places like California and New York.

At what percentage does "fair share" officially become fair? The last time the top tax rate was above 39.6% was 40 years ago, when it was 50%. Could it be 50% again? No political candidate will tell you that number.

Here's another Washington favorite. This one is sneaky and likely the No. 1 tax angle to be attacked if political winds change in the White House. Tax investment gains more like ordinary income.

Sounds simple until you remember where investment capital comes from. People risk money starting companies, funding businesses, buying stocks and investing in real estate because they hope to earn a return.

PROGRESSIVES WANT TO TAX BILLIONAIRES FIRST, AND YOU'RE NEXT ON THE LIST

You can tax that return more heavily. Just don't pretend people won't change their behavior when you do that, because they will.

Why wait until somebody earns money? Some politicians want to tax wealth simply because someone owns it. That's a completely different ballgame.

Imagine building a company worth $100 million but not having $100 million sitting in your checking account. Your business might be worth a fortune on paper while your actual cash is tied up inside the company.

NEWSOM BEGS CALIFORNIANS TO VOTE 'NO' ON BILLIONAIRE'S TAX IN FACE OF MASS EXODUS, PITCHES NATIONWIDE TAX HIKE

Now Uncle Sam wants a piece before you even sell it. California will tell us the first chapter of this story on the November ballot.

America already has a federal estate tax. For 2026, estates above the federal exemption can face a top estate-tax rate of 40%. Some states can take another bite.

Think about that. You earn the money. You pay income taxes. You invest what's left.

And when you die, the government may want another piece of what's still sitting there. There’s a $15-million exemption today, but what if this reverts to 2000 levels, when the number was less than $1 million? Imagine your kids, your heirs and your family having to pay 50% or more to the government when you die?

How many times does the same dollar need to be taxed before everybody agrees it finally paid its fair share?

This may be the sneakiest one. Don't raise the headline tax rate. Just add another little tax. There's already the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax and the additional 0.9% Medicare tax on certain higher earners.

States are getting into the game as well. Massachusetts has its millionaire surtax. California has its own high-income surtax. One percent here. Four percent there. Eventually all those "little" taxes start looking pretty big.

Congress wrote the loopholes.

If Congress doesn't like a provision in the tax code, change it. But don't vilify taxpayers for following the rules Congress created. That's the bigger issue with America's "fair share" debate.

Maybe some taxes should go up. Maybe some deductions should disappear. Maybe certain strategies should be eliminated. We can have that debate.

But first, politicians should answer one incredibly simple question: What exactly is fair?

Because until somebody puts an actual number on it, "fair share" isn't tax policy. It's just two words politicians use when they want more of somebody else's money.

Delaware voters head to the polls Tuesday for the final primary of the 2026 election cycle, capping a season marked by high-profile victories for progressives and socialists over Democratic establishment rivals and President Donald Trump’s continued immense influence in Republican contests, despite some notable setbacks.

Democratic Sen. Chris Coons and state Attorney General Kathy Jennings each face primary opponents, and Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride is unopposed in her primary, as they tune up for the general election, when Republicans will try to break the Democrats' lock on Delaware's statewide offices.

Delaware's nominating contests close out a primary season that upended the Democratic Party, with left-wing and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) backed contenders winning, and in some cases ousting longtime incumbents.

A year after socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani rocked the political world with a Democratic primary victory en route to winning the general election in the nation's most populist city, the far-left struck again in June.

CHECK OUT THE LATEST FOX NEWS POWER RANKINGS IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS

A slew of incumbents and establishment candidates were defeated by left-wing rivals, including DSA members Melat Kiros topping 15-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado and Darializa Avila Chevalier of New York ousting five-term Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat of New York.

Those wins were followed on an even larger scale in August, with triumphs in crucial statewide Senate primaries by Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota, and state Rep. Angie Nixon in Florida.

While there were notable setbacks for the left, including frontrunner Francesca Hong's August defeat in battleground Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary, the left vastly increased its clout in the political fight for the party's ideological future. And many of the winning candidates ran on platforms calling for abolishing ICE, cutting military aid to Israel, and pushing for a single-payer "Medicare for All" health system.

"It is undeniable that progressives have built a coalition and have a message that can serve to buoy a candidate when they are an acceptable alternative to the status quo," longtime Democratic strategist Joe Caiazzo, a veteran of progressive champion Sen. Bernie Sanders' 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, told Fox News Digital.

DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB

Caiazzo added, "What's incumbent upon progressives if they want to continue to be successful is to put forward candidates who are serious, credible, and are accessible to the public."

In Republican nominating battles, Trump took to social media late last month to tout, "My Endorsements are stronger than ever....There has never been anything close!"

The numbers back up the president's assertion that despite some setbacks, he remains the ultimate kingmaker in GOP nomination showdowns.

According to a Fox News Trump Primary Endorsement Tracker, the president batted a thousand in Senate GOP primaries this cycle, and enjoyed a near-perfect record in House Republican nomination showdowns.

Trump has dramatically reshaped the GOP since his first White House victory a decade ago, with the populist MAGA and America First wings gaining prominence over more traditional fiscal and social conservatives. And the president's grip over party politics remains extremely firm.

But he has had some setbacks, with five of his gubernatorial picks in Republican primaries this year going down to defeat. That list includes Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, Rep. Randy Feenstra of Iowa, Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder and Minnesota businessman and "My Pillow" founder and former CEO Mike Lindell.

"The Republican Party is Trump’s party, and there’s no question that an endorsement from the president provides a tremendous boost in a Republican primary. But it doesn’t necessarily mean the candidate’s going to win," veteran GOP strategist and communicator Ryan Williams told Fox News Digital.

Williams said that "the president still has a firm grip on the party, even in places where a candidate he backed loses a nomination." But he noted that "if there are underlying issues with a candidacy, those can pose problems that even an endorsement can’t overcome."

After a primary season that kicked off on March 3 in Texas, North Carolina, and Arkansas, Delaware brings the calendar to a close.

Coons, who is running for a third full term in the Senate, is facing longshot primary challenges from University of Delaware history professor Jeff Appelhans, naval architect Mary Louve, and former business executive Eric Hansen, a Republican turned Democrat.

Former state Sen. Michael Katz and U.S. Army Reserves Col. John Shulli are competing for the Republican nomination.

Rep. Sarah McBride is unopposed in the Democratic primary, as she seeks a second term as Delaware's statewide House member. Republicans Joseph Arminio, Earl Cooper and John Whalen are battling for the GOP nomination.

State Attorney General Kathy Jennings faces challenges for the Democratic nomination from attorney Dwayne Bensing and domestic violence victims advocate Patty Rickman. David Graham is unopposed for the GOP nomination.

Georgia police are searching for a man who police say was "infatuated" with a rubber duck in a stranger's hot tub.

The suspect is wanted for trespassing onto the homeowner's property and stealing their towels before fleeing the scene, according to the Chatham County Police Department, which said the man became "obsessed" with the rubber duck he found at the residence.

"He trespassed onto their property, used their hot tub, became obsessed with their rubber duck, then stole their pool towels. It's obviously not the biggest crime we've dealt with this month, but it has a lot of ick-factor. So, we'd like to find this guy so he doesn't do this to someone else," police wrote.

FLORIDA MAN WHO HAD SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH VACUUM CLEANER NEAR DISNEY WORLD TAKES NO CONTEST PLEA

Police said that surveillance video from the home in the 9000 block of Whitefield Avenue shows the man trespassing between 2:15 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. on September 1.

Video footage shows the man swimming in the pool before hopping into the hot tub, where he became "infatuated" with a rubber duck and was seen "intensely interacting" with the toy, according to police.

"While in the hot tub, the man is caught on video becoming infatuated with a rubber duck. The video shows the man spending more than 10 minutes intensely interacting with the duck," police wrote.

Police did not go into detail about the nature of the acts the infatuated man performed on the duck, although a grainy, black-and-white still of the security footage appears to show the suspect holding the duck near his face, though it is unclear exactly what he is doing.

The man then left the home on a bicycle.

As the man was leaving, he took several luxury beach towels with him, valued at a total of $1,200.

Police said the six towels valued at $200 each were seen in the basket under the bike on surveillance video.

Anyone who recognizes the man in the photos released to the public or has any information about the case is urged to contact police.

The United States produces roughly 3% of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the world. Meanwhile, China produces a whopping 45%. A Johns Hopkins study found that China supplies more than 60% of the essential components American manufacturers need for antibiotics.

That’s not just a trade imbalance, it is surrendering sovereignty.

The health of our military, our leaders, our children and our neighbors is beholden to an adversary who could weaponize not just the availability of and access to essential medications but the safety of those very products.

ROBERT F KENNEDY JR: THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE SHOULD BE BUILT IN AMERICA

We didn’t get here by accident. Decades of offshoring gutted the American industrial base and shipped critical manufacturing jobs overseas. As recently as 1981, the United States produced 25% of the world’s pharmaceutical ingredients. Today, China controls nearly half the global market. A nation that cannot make its own antibiotics and cannot stop adversary-sourced chemicals from crossing its border does not fully govern itself.

The Council on Foreign Relations called this what it is: a pharma choke point. The dependence is structural, deep and spreading from generics into advanced biologics.

CORPORATE AMERICA'S CHINA ADDICTION HAS BECOME A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT

Beijing has already shown it will weaponize supply chains. It did so with rare earths, semiconductor inputs and defense-critical metals. Why would we believe the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would treat medicine any differently in a crisis when it has the capacity to poison an entire people?

The same chemical networks that feed Chinese precursors into American pharmacies also feed the fentanyl pipeline through Mexico. Research from the University of Virginia’s National Security Data and Policy Institute describes Chinese suppliers and Mexican cartels as a singular adaptive supply chain: precursors bought cheaply online, air-shipped in bulk, converted into pills, and pushed across the border.

EXPERT WARNS CHINA ALREADY WAGING ‘UNRESTRICTED WARFARE’ AGAINST US THROUGH FENTANYL, ESPIONAGE AND SABOTAGE

A few thousand dollars of chemicals can buy millions of doses. The wreckage in Midwestern towns is not a mystery. It is the real-life effect of a Chinese chemical distribution system operating behind a cartel front.

Congress has rightly begun to respond. The BIOSECURE Act, signed into law in December 2025, restricts federal procurement involving biotechnology products from designated companies tied to foreign adversaries. President Donald Trump also took executive action on tariffs targeting the synthetic opioid supply chain. Those steps matter. But they don’t build manufacturing plants.

EXCLUSIVE: FENTANYL DEATHS PLUNGE 22% AS TRUMP WHITE HOUSE TOUTS CRACKDOWN ON DEADLY DRUG CRISIS

Legislation alone does not build a factory, bring jobs back and secure our nation. To effectively pry China’s grip off our supply chain, we must invest heavily in domestic producers. We need to build the manufacturing facilities here at home.

Take my home state of Ohio: the Buckeye State shows this model works. The state is already becoming a center of American semiconductor manufacturing by combining investment, infrastructure and a skilled workforce. It has the same heritage to become a national hub for pharmaceutical production. CNBC recently ranked Ohio No. 1 in the country for both business and infrastructure. Incentivize American companies to build advanced manufacturing in the Midwest and you do two things at once: create secure work and close a defense vulnerability.

SEN KEVIN CRAMER: CHINA BUILDS FOR WAR WHILE AMERICA WAITS ON PERMITS

The choice is not complicated. Invest now in American pharmaceutical capacity or pay an unimaginable price later when Beijing turns the American medicine supply into a weapon.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION

The border is not secure as long as Chinese chemical suppliers are arming cartels. The military is not ready as long as battlefield antibiotics are manufactured in a country we may one day fight. And the American people are not safe as long as their medicine cabinet depends on the goodwill of an adversary.

Build the plants. Bring the work home. Make medical independence a national priority.

There's been a tidal wave of media coverage on the dastardly dangers of AI, some carrying warnings that "we're all gonna die!" – maybe. 

And what unleashed this flood of frightening stories about super-intelligent AI networks crushing humanity?

One social media post by a guy no one's ever heard of. 

Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic, resigned and posted his concerns on X, the tweets triggering such a thunderous reaction across the media landscape that television raced to put him on the air. It was this sentence that cast him as a digital-age Paul Revere: "The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade."

And here's the irony: the journalists covering and commenting on the surge in artificial intelligence have little idea how serious that threat is. If the high-tech crowd can’t agree, how are those who cover everything from politics to war supposed to know?

ANTHROPIC CEO LIKENS AI FIGHT WITH CHINA TO COLD WAR, SEEKS 'DISARMAMENT NEGOTIATIONS'

If Anthropic and OpenAI, which dominate the field, are so upset about AI networks replicating themselves and going rogue, why don’t they hit the brakes on their own?

I’m not saying that most media have joined the ranks of the doomsayers, but the sheer volume of coverage has fueled the sense of an impending crisis.

Coxon, enjoying his 15 seconds of fame, is also adept at sound bites. In one television appearance he warned that AI could use "hacking," "persuasion" or "bioweapons," calling that "pretty scary stuff… Imagine suddenly a million drones activate all over the world." 

Scary indeed.

Coxon told Fox’s Bret Baier that he sees "two things: very intelligent AI systems, and hard proof that we don’t know how to control them."

And he told MS NOW’s Ari Melber it could be "lights out" for humanity.

While politicians in both parties are calling for hearings or a pause in AI research, the White House is not alarmed.

Asked if he has concerns about AI, Trump said: "I don’t have any. I have concerns that if we don’t win AI, we’re going to be put in a very bad position. We are leading China right now by a pretty good period." 

ANTHROPIC CEO ISSUES WARNING ABOUT ADVANCED AI’S CAPABILITIES

What’s also boosted the coverage is that Anthropic’s co-founder and CEO, Dario Amodei, has acknowledged the magnitude of the issue and posted his own 3,800-word essay.

Asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper if he honestly believes AI could kill all humans, Amodei said: "I agree with Jacob much more than I disagree with him… He wasn’t calling us out. He was calling out the dynamic of the industry as a whole… I think there’s some chance that things go wrong, but it’s not all that high."

Yet there are other nightmare scenarios.

"There are also catastrophic scenarios that fall short of extinction, such as massive cyberattacks that take down power grids or financial systems and lead to a breakdown in the human social order," says the Wall Street Journal.

But the press also has to grapple with the question of motive. Some critics say Anthropic and OpenAI are seeking government regulation to freeze the big advantage they already hold over other companies. 

David Sacks, a tech investor and chairman of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, tells the two tech giants on X: "Stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission… Stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack."

No American company will want to slow down its research unless its rivals do the same. And the odds of getting such countries as China to sign on, as if it were an arms-control agreement, are exceedingly slim.

ANTHROPIC CEO COMPARES AI ARMS RACE TO US COLD WAR WITH SOVIET UNION

It’s also hard to take politics out of the debate. Barack Obama just urged Democratic candidates to make AI regulation one of their "central agendas." 

What’s more, news organizations have their own entanglements with that world. The Washington Post has a content partnership with OpenAI. And the New York Times is suing OpenAI for unauthorized use of millions of articles.

I’m like everyone else, trying to sift through the rhetoric and the research to separate solid facts from speculation. The recent hacking of a company called Hugging Face – in which "autonomous" AI agents deployed by OpenAI, teamed up on their own, circumventing human controls, to execute the breach – shows this is more than a theoretical problem. (Nvidia just bought Hugging Face for $12.9 billion.)

It also seems that some form of federal regulation is needed for this exploding business, given the massive spending and enormous stakes. No other American industry is given such a free hand.

As for the supposed threat to humanity, right out of a sci-fi movie, I’m not having trouble sleeping – yet.
