Kid Rock and Lauren Boebert dating rumors renewed as pair seen together
Kid Rock and Lauren Boebert have sparked dating rumors once again. The Colorado Republican was at the 'Born Free' singer's Rock N Rodeo on Saturday, according to an X post from radio show host Dana Loesch. Rock had his arms around the two women in the photo, which also featured Dana's husband, Chris. 'Last night at the @KidRockRNR @laurenboebert @ChrisLoesch,' she captioned the post. The Independent has reached out to representatives for both Rock and Boebert for comment. Rock was previously engaged to Audrey Berry for seven years before it was reported in February that they were no longer together. He proposed to Berry in April 2017, six years after they quietly started dating. A source who spoke to Us Weekly at the time said that the couple broke up late last year, and the singer has now moved on. 'He is venturing into the dating pool,' the source told the publication. Last night at the @KidRockRNR @laurenboebert @ChrisLoesch — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) May 18, 2025 Rumors of romance circulated for weeks after 54-year-old Rock and 38-year-old Boebert were seen talking at one of Donald Trump's inaugural parties. The singer was then seen getting into a cab with the congresswoman at 2:30 a.m. 'Lauren was totally transfixed by the rock star, yapping away, doing a little dance, and clapping like she was front row at his concert — basically giving Kid Rock all the hype he needed,' TMZ noted. Rumors about Rock's dating life came a few days after he lashed out at Bruce Springsteen over the 'Born in the U.S.A.' singer's recent tirade against Trump. Appearing on FOX & Friends on Friday, he accused Springsteen, 75, of trying to cosy up to the 'Hollywood elite' with his rant. 'Just another person with TDS [Trump derangement syndrome] at the highest levels,' Rock told Steve Doocy on Friday. 'To be in Europe talking junk about our president who gets up and works his ass off for this country, every day, and his administration is doing such great things… Thank God for him. But to do that in Europe… what a punk move.' 'This guy's got, what, 500 million, a billion dollars… and is out there playing like he's a working-class hero,' he added of Springsteen. 'And really, to me, just wants to be… in good standings with the Hollywood elite… and I'm proud to say that I'm more of Hollywood's kryptonite.'

Kid Rock calls out Bruce Springsteen's anti-Trump rant on European tour, says it was a 'punk move'
Kid Rock fired back at Bruce Springsteen for the "Born in the USA" singer's anti-Trump tirade while performing in the United Kingdom, calling the comments a "punk move." The multi-platinum artist reacted to Springsteen's criticism of President Donald Trump and his administration during "FOX & Friends," accusing him of trying to appease the Hollywood "elite" with his rant. "Just another person with TDS at the highest levels," he told Steve Doocy on Friday. "To be in Europe talking junk about our president who gets up and works his ass off for this country, every day, and his administration is doing such great things… Thank God for him. But to do that in Europe… what a punk move." Kid Rock Defends Donald Trump's Music Taste As 'Freakin' The Best' After Media Backlash "This guy's got, what, 500 million, a billion dollars… and is out there playing like he's a working-class hero," he continued. "And really, to me, just wants to be… in good standings with the Hollywood elite… and I'm proud to say that I'm more of Hollywood's kryptonite." Springsteen kicked off his "Land of Hope and Dreams" tour in Manchester on Wednesday, calling out the president and his aides for "corrupt" leadership. Read On The Fox News App "In my home, the America I love, the American I've written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treacherous government," he said. "They are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent," he continued. "They're abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators." Kid Rock called those comments "garbage," bringing attention to Trump's historic business-focused trip across the Middle East to secure peace in the region and abroad. While in Saudi Arabia, Trump signed a $600 billion "strategic economic partnership" agreement with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which will see Riyadh invest in U.S. AI data centers and energy infrastructure, investment in "cutting-edge transformative technologies in both countries" and a whopping $142 billion defense package – which the White House claimed is the "largest defense sales agreement in history." The president suggested the deal could near $1 trillion in the months to come and generate up to 2 million U.S. jobs. Trump also secured a big deal in Qatar with a $1.2 trillion "economic exchange" with Doha that included a purchase of 210 Boeing jets by state-owned Qatar Airways for $96 billion, as well as energy infrastructure agreements and an investment in state-of-the-art quantum technologies and workforce development." The deal in Qatar was overshadowed by the controversial announcement that Qatar wanted to "gift" Trump a new Air Force One jet. The president also expanded on a $1.4 trillion deal brokered with the UAE in March and announced an additional $200 billion "in commercial deals" between Washington and Abu Dhabi. "He's over there creating peace in the Middle East," Kid Rock said. "One of the places that could possibly erupt and send the world into turmoil, and he's over there getting it done." "This guy does not know how to lose, period," he continued. "Gets up every morning and busts his ass for this country. Thank God for him and his administration." The rock legend also previewed his upcoming "Rock N Rodeo," which will air the PBR World Finals on Friday at 8 p.m. EST, exclusively on Fox Nation. "To me, this is one of the last pro-patriotic American sports really just left without the interjection of all the wokeness, which, I think, is pretty much finding its exit from pro sports, thank God," he told Doocy.

Florida dad who paid $1,400 for family of 5's day trip at Disney World says he felt ‘punished' by park
This dad is one unhappy mouseketeer. A father-of-three who went viral for his posts about how much Walt Disney World costs says the $1,400 he spent for one day was not worth it. In TikTok that has been viewed by millions, Craig Stowell said a trip to the famed Orlando theme park with his wife and three kids blew up his wallet for only a modicum of enjoyment when faced with the never ending stream of lines at Disney. 'I don't want to say it this way, but if you do the average cost per ride, it probably isn't really worth it,' Stowell said of his experience at the happiest place on Earth. The frustrated dad said he spent $974 for five single-day tickets, and that's with the Florida resident discount. 'It started with the ticket purchase, and then it ran right into the parking ($30), and then it just was like a cash cow for the rest of the day,' Stowell told 'FOX & Friends.' He claimed that if he opted for the Lightning Passes to help skip some of the lines, he would've been down another $400. Disney has raised prices for its theme parks in recent years, with the cost of single-day, single-park tickets ranging between $119 to $199 for the 2025 season. It comes following internal surveys that reportedly showed a decline in the number of guests planning return visits to Disney's parks in 2023. The company recently announced that prices would increase for many 2026 dates. As Disney offers discounts and better pricing for multi-day stays, Stowell said it was apparent the company is favoring long-term guests over local families and day-trippers. 'Unfortunately, I don't think those day-trippers are what Disney wants,' he said. 'They want you to never leave the park. They want you there for five days, and they want you to drop 10 grand. So, I think that one-day trip I'm actually being punished for it.' Disney has been previously accused of being 'addicted' to raising prices that push the limit of what working class families can afford, insiders previously warned The Wall Street Journal. Stowell said he was glad his video went viral to demonstrate the struggle families are going through when trying to create memories together, but he was still taken aback by just how much support he received online. 'I kind of had a feeling it would go viral,' he said. 'It's very relatable. It's family-friendly. Disney's always a hot topic and we're all trying to pinch pennies. 'So, I kind of had an idea that people would be able to relate to it, just maybe not so much.' With Post wires

Vice President JD Vance says Trump is 'taking this economy in a different direction'
Vice President JD Vance on Thursday discussed the economy and the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) work in a wide-ranging interview on "FOX & Friends." The vice president sat down with "FOX & Friends" co-host Lawrence Jones on Thursday morning, one day after President Donald Trump unveiled a 10% tariff on imported goods from foreign countries and "individualized reciprocal higher" tariffs on certain countries, marking the latest levies that the president has sought since taking office in January. During the "FOX & Friends" interview, Vance voiced skepticism about America benefiting from a "globalist economy" and said the president is "taking this economy in a different direction" when asked about the administration's tariffs. What To Know About President Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariffs He told Jones that "incurring a huge amount of debt to buy things that other countries make us" was "not a recipe for economic prosperity." "For 40 years, we have gone down that pathway. We've seen closing factories, we've seen rising inflation. We've seen the cost of housing so high that most Americans can't afford to buy a home right now," he said. "President Trump is taking this economy in a different direction." Read On The Fox Business App Vance recognized that the Trump administration's policies were a "big change" but contended the U.S. "cannot keep going down the Joe Biden globalist pathway where we have $2 trillion of peacetime debt and deficits." Jones asked the vice president about Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck who could feel the sting of higher prices, to which the vice president said the Trump administration was "fighting very hard" to lower them and "going to have the biggest deregulation" in the country's history. "What I'd ask folks to appreciate here is that we are not going to fix things overnight," Vance said, claiming the Biden administration left Trump and him the "largest peacetime debt and deficit in the history of the United States of America" and extremely high interest rates. He said the Trump administration believes the "right deregulation" will help Americans financially and make their jobs more secure because foreign countries "can't take advantage of us anymore." Vance also argued that the tax cuts that the Trump administration is poised to pursue are "all part of the same policy" as the tariffs rather than a way to offset them. Jd Vance Torches Media, Dems' 'Disgraceful Set Of Priorities' On Deportation Of Accused Ms-13 Gang Members Since Trump and Vance took office, their administration has not only been busy revamping the country's trade policy, but also with significantly paring back spending and boosting efficiency across the federal government through DOGE, which has been helmed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Politico, citing unnamed sources, reported Wednesday that Trump let his Cabinet and inner circle know that Musk's departure from DOGE was coming soon, with the Tesla CEO reportedly poised to move to more of a supporting role. Vance called such reports "total fake news." "Elon came in, and we said, 'We need you to make government more efficient. We need you to shrink the incredible, vast bureaucracy that thwarts the will of the American people, but also costs way too much money.' And we said that's going to take about six months, and that's what Elon signed up for," the vice president told Jones. The tech billionaire has led DOGE as a "special government employee." Special government employees are allowed to work for the federation government for a maximum of 130 days a year. Vance said the Tesla CEO will keep serving as an advisor, adding that the work of DOGE and Musk is "not even close to done." "DOGE has a lot of work to do and, yeah, that work's gonna continue after Elon leaves, but fundamentally, Elon is going to remain a friend and advisor to both me and the president, and he's done a lot of good things." Vance said that DOGE has "started to chip away" at the government bureaucracy but "there's a lot of work to do." "It's not going to happen all in six months," he said. "It's going to take a long and committed effort." Tesla Stock Shoots Higher On Report Musk Could Soon Exit Doge DOGE has a goal of reducing federal spending by $2 trillion. It claimed total estimated savings of $140 billion on its website as of Thursday. Musk said in an interview last week with Fox News host Bret Baier that he thought DOGE "will have accomplished most of the work required to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars" within his special government employee timeframe. Under the executive order Trump signed to officially form DOGE, the group is supposed to finish its cost-cutting efforts by early July of next article source: Vice President JD Vance says Trump is 'taking this economy in a different direction'

Vance says tax cuts will help inflation pain but aren't part of offsetting tariffs
Vice President JD Vance said in a Thursday interview that President Trump 's signature tax cuts are not a way to offset tariffs — but that they will help consumers cope with the "cost of inflation." Why it matters: Vance's comments are the latest example of the Trump administration's mixed messaging on tariffs. Namely, tariffs won't raise prices, but if they do, tax cuts are coming in short order. The tax bill is not complete, as it works its way through Capitol Hill, but the administration is confident it will pass. Experts say Trump's historic tariffs could raise prices for U.S. households — hitting low-income Americans the hardest — increase overall inflation and upend global trade. Driving the news: Trump's tariffs are a "total shift in the way that we've done economic policy in the United States of America, but it was necessary," Vance said on "FOX & Friends" Thursday. "So, yeah, we're going to cut your taxes," he continued. "You're going to have more money in your pocket, and that's, of course, going to help you deal with the cost of inflation. But that's not about offsetting the tariffs." Asked about rising prices triggered by tariffs, Vance said the White House is working toward "the biggest deregulation in the history of this country" but stressed, "What I'd ask folks to appreciate here, is that we're not going to fix things overnight." But with the "right deregulation," he said, "people are going to see it in their pocketbook," claiming that Americans will also benefit from increased job security because "foreign countries can't take advantage of us anymore." Between the lines: Even as the White House applauded their economic vision, consumer confidence slipped in March, a sign that all this tariff talk is rattling Americans.
