You knew news organizations would be making calls to professional lip readers after Joe Biden and Barack Obama were caught having a frank discussion at the funeral for Ethel Kennedy this week. The late Mrs. Kennedy passed away on October 10 at 96. Her funeral was another event where politicians, friends, and family would gather, and like most scared Democrats, some discussed the 2024 race. With death organs blasting in the background, Obama and Biden seemed beyond dispirited about the Kamala Harris operation, with the former president bluntly saying that Biden’s gal simply isn’t strong enough to win this election.
Former President Trump has taken a narrow lead over Vice President Harris in pollster Nate Silver’s prediction model just weeks out from Election Day.
While the race remains essentially a toss-up, Trump now leads Harris by just more than half a percentage point, 50.2 percent to 49.5 percent, in the model updated Thursday afternoon. “However nominal, it’s Trump’s first lead in our model since Sept. 19,” Silver wrote on his Silver Bulletin site.
The political forecaster noted that Harris was leading Trump a day earlier by about a point, 50.3 percent to 49.4 percent.
The former president picked up ground with “some good polls” entering the database Thursday,

Sinwar’s death seems down to chance,

In the end, after a year-long, multi-agency manhunt involving the latest technology, Israel’s best special forces and American assistance, Yahya Sinwar appears to have been killed by regular soldiers who had stumbled into him and had no idea whom they had killed.
According to the initial reports, they were not there on an assassination operation and had no prior intelligence that they could be in the vicinity of the elusive Hamas leader, architect of the 7 October attacks, the man Israel most wanted to kill. It was only after they took a closer look at his face and found identity documents on him that the troops realised they had got Sinwar.
– Vice President Kamala Harris told supporters Thursday that she “stood up to veterans” in a brutal gaffe that capped off a long day of campaigning in Wisconsin.
Harris, 59, was in the middle of touting her tenure as California’s attorney general when she mistakenly bragged about standing up to America’s war heroes.
“I stood up to veterans, and stood up for — excuse me,” the vice president said, quickly correcting the error after grimacing. Some in the crowd appeared to groan, while others laughed at the blunder.
In a revealing undercover investigation, James O’Keefe introduced us to Jeevan Gyawali, a senior software engineer at Meta, the parent company of Facebook, who spilled the truth to an undercover OMG journalist about the company’s efforts to help Kamala Harris win the election. Meeting on the dating app Bumble, O’Keefe’s undercover journalist engaged Gyawali in a candid discussion about how Meta’s internal systems work, specifically its civic classifiers — an initiative aimed at demoting political content across the platform.
Gyawali explained that these classifiers are part of Meta’s integrity team, designed to identify and suppress “civic content.” Gyawali explained that if the system flags content as anti-Kamala,
Kamala Harris bused in "supporters" to a rally in what looked like an obvious effort to make her campaign look bigger than it is. Women dressed in "Handmaid's Tale" garb picketed in front of U.S. Supreme Court Justices' homes to pressure justices into changing their minds, insurrection-style, after the Dobbs draft decision was leaked. Democrat operatives sent agents provocateurs to Trump rallies to try and start fights while in line and disrupt his speeches in 2016. In 2008, at a Hillary Clinton speech, a couple of guys heckled her with "Iron my shirts!"
The annual Al Smith charity dinner in New York is a major event, with dignitaries from the entertainment, politics, and business world all showing up to raise money for Catholic charities. During election years, it's a big event for presidential candidates to be seen at a notable charity event. Comedian Jim Gaffigan, who was the opening act of the night, pointed out that Catholics make up a large number of voters in key swing states. He then jokingly followed up that observation by asking where Vice President Kamala Harris was, referencing her seeming inability to visit swing states and their voters.
Former President Donald Trump took the dais at the 79th Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner on Thursday evening, cracking jokes and taking shots at Vice President Kamala Harris for skipping the bipartisan political event that typically adds a bit of levity to the campaign trail each presidential election cycle. "If you really wanted Vice President Harris to accept your invitation, I guess you should have told her the funds were going to bail out the looters and rioters in Minneapolis, and she would have been here, guaranteed. She would have been guaranteed," Trump quipped of Harris' absence on Thursday, citing her promotion of a bail fund during
You’ve heard the classic advice given first-year law students about arguing a case.
When the facts are on your side, pound the facts.
When the law is on your side, pound the law.
When neither the facts nor the law are on your side, pound the table. Kamala Harris proved in yet another “highly anticipated interview” with Fox News’ Bret Baier that since neither the facts nor the issues are on her side, only one way remains to make her case: pound her opponent.
A few days ago, your correspondent posited that the case against Kamala boils down to six simple numbers.
James O’Keefe claims that a Meta engineer admitted in a candid interview with an undercover journalist with O’Keefe Media Group that Facebook demotes anti-Kamala Harris posts.
Jeevan Gyawali, a senior software engineer with Meta, appeared to reveal in a hidden camera interview that accounts posting anti-Kamala Harris content could be shadowbanned while the posts get demoted. “Say your uncle in Ohio said something about Kamala Harris is unfit to be a president because she doesn’t have a child,
An Oct. 13 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows a video of Republican former Vice President Mike Pence sitting on a stage and speaking.
“Vote for Kamala Harris as president of the United States or Tim Walz as her running mate," Pence says at the start of the clip. "Period. Paragraph." Both the post’s caption and on-screen text in the video characterize the statement as Pence's endorsement of the 2024 Democratic ticket.
A version of the claim shared to Threads received more than 2,000 likes in two days. Similar versions circulated widely on Facebook and were reposted thousands of additional times on X, formerly Twitter.
The US says it has carried out "precision strikes" against five weapons storage locations in areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthi movement.
Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said B-2 Spirit stealth bombers were part of the operation that targeted hardened underground facilities housing missiles and other munitions that the Iran-backed group had used to attack civilian and military ships.
The strikes demonstrated the ability of the US to hit facilities that adversaries sought "to keep out of reach", he added.
Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV said the strikes targeted six areas in and around the capital, Sanaa, and two near the northern city of Saada. It did not report any casualties.
Comedian Andrew Schulz and his "Flagrant" podcast co-hosts did a great interview of former President Donald Trump last week. People loved it because it showed Trump's humor and humanity as he spoke about his family, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and what he wants his legacy to be. The difference between his off-the-cuff speaking and ability to answer questions versus Kamala Harris is stark. He spoke with the "Flagrant" guys for an hour-and-a-half, longer than anticipated, but they were having so much fun, they just continued.
WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris posted a video to X of herself speaking last week to the mayor of St. Petersburg, Fla., as Hurricane Milton neared — but only after editing out describing herself as a “devout public servant” and expressing concern about the pace of federal aid.
The Democratic presidential nominee tweeted footage of her speaker phone call with Mayor Ken Welch — leaving 38 seconds of the two-minute call on the cutting room floor — as the storm approached the Gulf Coast.
A more complete version of the tape from Welch’s end of the line, obtained by The Post, reveals that the Harris team edited out the 59-year-old saying,
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar gives Israel a “great opportunity” to stop the Iranian-led “axis of evil” in the Middle East and to free the remaining hostages in Gaza.
Netanyahu delivered a video statement shortly after the Israel Defense Forces and several Israeli officials confirmed Sinwar’s death. The Hamas chief was one of three terrorists killed during a firefight with Israeli soldiers in the southern city of Rafah on Wednesday.
“Hamas will no longer rule Gaza,” Netanyahu promised in the four-minute video, as reported by the Times of Israel. “This is the beginning of the day after Hamas,
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued a north Dallas doctor Thursday accusing her of providing harmful gender transition treatments to nearly two dozen minors in violation of Texas state law.
AG Paxton filed suit against Dr. May Chi Lau who he claims provided hormone replacement therapy to 21 minors between October 2023 and August for the purpose of transitioning genders. Dr. May Lau, M.D. serves as the Medical Director of the Adolescent and Young Adult clinic at Children’s Medical Center Dallas.
Texas state law that passed in September 2023 clearly prohibits “gender transition” medical interventions such as surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones for minors.
During an interview with Fox News Wednesday night, her first ever on the network and one of the few since becoming the Democratic nominee for president, Vice President Kamala Harris claimed she took on the Guadalajara Cartel during her time as a prosecutor in California. (X Video) There's just one major problem.
By the time Harris became a prosecutor in the 1990s, the Guadalajara Cartel had already been disbanded. In the 1980s a criminal group rooted in the state of Sinaloa evolved into the first large-scale drug trafficking organization and became the precursor of most of Mexico’s current major criminal organizations.

On Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris took part in her first formal sit-down interview with Fox News as she spoke to Bret Baier. Immigration came up as a topic, particularly in the context of Americans who were allegedly murdered by illegal immigrants. Unfortunately, Harris didn't answer as to if she owed the families an apology, and mostly kept pivoting back to criticizing former and potentially future President Donald Trump during the interview. Patty Morin, the mother of one of those victims, Rachel Morin, was asked to respond to that interview during her appearance on "Fox & Friends" on Thursday morning.
CNN anchor Boris Sanchez turned the tables on Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams after he criticized former President Trump for backing out of an interview. On Tuesday, Sams posted a tweet sharing a headline from The Daily Beast, "Trump Abruptly Cancels Another Mainstream TV Interview," with emoji eyes and wrote, "Trump pulls out of another mainstream media interview, just like he did with 60 Minutes... As he is facing scrutiny over his mental acuity." During an interview that same day, Sanchez referred to the post, holding the Harris campaign senior adviser's feet to the fire.

On Thursday night, former and potentially future President Donald Trump will be attending the Al Smith dinner in New York City, an event to benefit Catholic Charities. It's also supposed to symbolize unity and coming together together. Vice President Kamala Harris made the decision weeks ago to not attend, which came as a disappointment to Timothy Cardinal Dolan, the Archbishop of New York.In his podcast from Tuesday, Dolan confirmed that "this year will be unbalanced because sadly Kamala Harris isn't coming." Just as he did weeks ago when reacting to the vice president's snub, he continued to lament that her absence is "a shame, because
The RNC filed a lawsuit against the City of Detroit Department of Elections for deleting ballot drop box surveillance footage.
The lawsuit accuses Detroit elections officials of violating the Freedom of Information Act by deleting the footage more than two weeks after they requested it from the city.
“Deleting footage that is the subject of a pending FOIA request—submitted more than two weeks before the footage was deleted—is a clear violation of FOIA,” the RNC said, according to CBS News. “Detroit had a clear legal obligation to preserve and provide the footage, which they violated.”

WASHINGTON — President Biden griped to former President Barack Obama that “she” is “not as strong as me” — with Obama agreeing “that’s true” — in a stunning off-mic conversation deciphered for The Post by a professional lip reader.
The apparent candid assessment of Vice President Kamala Harris’ standing going into the Nov. 5 election occurred Wednesday afternoon as America’s two most recent Democratic presidents conversed at Ethel Kennedy’s memorial service in Washington.
“She’s not as strong as me,” said Biden, 81, according to the translation, which was produced by analyzing the on-video lip movements during the discussion.
For more than 100 years, the Wilmington and Carson oil refineries have pumped out millions of barrels of gasoline, filling the thirsty cars of Southern California’s freeway-driving motorists.

Trump: book replies
The typically mild-mannered and tight-lipped Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell privately laced into former President Donald Trump and sobbed during the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol, an upcoming book claims.
McConnell (R-Ky.), 82, slammed Trump, 78, as “stupid,” “ill-tempered,” a “narcissist” and a “despicable human being” behind closed doors toward the end of his administration, according to a preview of the book “The Price of Power” from the Associated Press.
“It’s not just the Democrats who are counting the days” until Trump’s White House departure, McConnell told associates in confidence, per the AP.
“[Trump’s conduct] only underscores the good judgment of the American people.
In a desperate bid for votes that Kamala Harris should already have secured, the vice president is pandering to a surprising audience: Black men.
Less than three weeks before the election, Harris now claims that if she's elected president, she'll throw the nation's purse wide open for this select group. How kind, and not at all manipulative and indulgent. On Monday, Harris launched her "Opportunity Agenda for Black Men." The plan includes handing out 1 million "fully forgivable" loans of up to $20,000 for Black entrepreneurs and "others." The proposal also promises to protect cryptocurrency investments and to legalize recreational marijuana.
Harris' initiative is the epitome of identity politics.
With the exception of one cordial but somewhat challenging segment on 60 Minutes, Vice President Kamala Harris has spent her entire presidential candidacy going from one softball media appearance to another. That ended Wednesday night when she sat for an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier. Finally, Harris faced probing and persistent questions about her record as vice president and plans for the presidency. And in 27 minutes of back-and-forth, she had virtually no answers. She pushed back hard but, for all her words, had little to say. (I should note at the beginning that I am a Fox News contributor, and I appear on Baier’s program Special Report.)
Vice President Kamala Harris’s “plagiarism scandal” is far “more serious” than previously stated, New York Times‘s plagiarism consultant Jonathan Bailey admitted Thursday.
The Times admitted Monday that Harris plagiarized multiple passages in her 2009 book, Smart on Crime, but alleged, however, that it was “not serious.” Some of the lengthy messages lifted were from Wikipedia and the Associated Press. The Harris campaign claimed on Tuesday that she did not plagiarize multiple passages, contradicting Harris’s allies in the media, including the New York Times and the New Republic.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign on Thursday abruptly barred the press from her meeting with students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, as pro-Palestinian protesters marched on the campus amid the news that Hamas’ leader was killed by the Israeli military.
Ms. Harris was said to be working on a statement about the developments in the Middle East.
The Democratic nominee was scheduled to briefly take questions from the press ahead of what the campaign billed as a “meet and greet’ with the UWM students. However, reporters traveling with Ms. Harris in Wisconsin said that the talk with the press was canceled moments before it was scheduled to happen.
Gallup’s annual survey of civic and political trust, released this week, found that the media is currently America’s least-trusted institution.
Just 31% of those polled — a new historic low — have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the mass media, including just 27% of independent voters and 12% of Republicans.
Back in 2005, the overall trust number was 50%. A complete cratering.
In his many tangles with the mainstream media, JD Vance is showing them why this is.
Vance in recent weeks has repeatedly schooled anchors, hosts and reporters in basic facts about the economy, the law and other core topics,
Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas and the architect of the Palestinian militant group’s Oct. 7, 2023, brutal rampage across southern Israel, has been killed in a raid in the Gaza Strip, Israel said Thursday.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz confirmed the reports Thursday afternoon in Jerusalem, citing DNA tests taken after the operation. Israel military officials earlier in the day said that it was “highly likely” that Mr. Sinwar, the lead target in Israel’s military incursion into Gaza, was dead.
Mr. Katz hailed the news as a “military and moral achievement for the Israeli army.” Hamas, which is closely allied to Iran, did not issue a statement
Ron DeSantis just keeps showing us how to handle questioners with an agenda. He's just so good at it; he's calm, doesn't get agitated or angry, just calmly and methodically takes the questioner apart. He's an up-and-comer, and Florida is lucky to have him.
On Thursday, Governor DeSantis spoke in Sarasota, announcing awards from the Florida Disaster Fund. And, as we might expect, a questioner attempted to trip up the governor with a "gotcha" on climate change.
Ron DeSantis wasn't having any of it. The questioner's attempted "gotcha" was, "When will the words 'Climate Change' come out of your mouth?"
The death of Yahya Sinwar, mastermind of the October 7, 2023, massacre and head of Hamas’s political bureau, marks a turning point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israeli forces eliminated Sinwar, who had orchestrated Hamas’s insurgency in Gaza since his 2011 release from prison during the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap. Sinwar’s removal disrupts Hamas’s leadership and raises critical questions about the effectiveness of past ceasefire demands and concessions.
Ceasefires aim to halt violence and open paths to dialogue. Yet militant groups like Hamas have exploited these pauses to regroup, rearm, and strengthen their positions.
Republican VP candidate JD Vance said Thursday that he believes "something pathological is going on" with Vice President Kamala Harris that leads to her blaming former President Trump for issues that occurred during her time in office. Harris insisted Wednesday during an exclusive interview with "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier that she would "not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency" after previously being unable to name anything she would have changed about his administration.
Responding on "Fox & Friends," Vance said he simply doesn’t believe her and suggested it will be more of the same if she is elected president.
The presidential election is in its final stretch and the race is neck-and-neck, according to the polls. The outcome will have a profound impact at all levels of government and business, so preparing for a second Trump term would be prudent.
In office and on the campaign trail, former President Trump has championed federalism and granting the states greater latitude to implement policies and programs. He has voiced a commitment to reducing the footprint of federal regulations. As president, he implemented executive orders and other actions that sought to ease regulatory costs and effects. The Trump Administration also galvanized deregulatory efforts at the state and local level
The Orwellian Noble Peace Prize
replies
Last week nominations for the Noble Peace Prize were announced, and the nominees were typical of the Prize’s history. A perusal of past winners reveals that the majority of prizes are for good intention, moralizing internationalism and its institutions, short-lived peace treaties, feckless disarmament, and any choice that gratifies global anti-Americanism.
And let’s not forget terrorists and their enablers included in this year’s nominees: the United Nations’ Palestinian refugee agency, the International Court of Justice, and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. All three reflect the Prize’s long history of promulgating globalism and the “rules-based international order” that has serially failed to deter aggression.
Mark Halprin gives his prediction about what will happen when President Trump wins the election. Tucker Carlson plays along, with both pretending not to remember what happened in 2016.

I never thought that I would fear for my life in my own home until it happened this year.
In 2023, I began to notice significant changes in my apartment complex in Aurora, Colo., less than 20 miles from the sanctuary city of Denver.
Local media have since reported that officials began busing illegal Venezuelan migrants into the area in December 2022 — but no one told us. Members of Tren de Aragua – a vicious Venezuelan prison gang that has brought sex trafficking and violent crime into communities across our country — began patrolling my apartment building with guns, beating down doors and demanding keys from my neighbors.
Go to Kamala Harris’ campaign website and among the very short list of alleged achievements is this: “She cast the deciding vote to lower drug prices and cap insulin prices for our seniors.”
The only problem is that drug costs for seniors have skyrocketed since Harris signed that bill.
Harris is pointing to the criminally misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act,” which got zero Republican votes, and which was supposed to lower the cost of prescription drugs by giving, as Harris puts it, “Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices with Big Pharma.”
The Central African Republic is a tragic case of what happens when Islamic radicals take over a nation.
The UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) and government security forces have also not been able to exert effective control beyond the capital city.
This devastating war and its consequences need more media coverage. Why are activists and human rights groups concerned only with the Middle East? The horrific situation in CAR and elsewhere should also serve as an urgent warning about what happens to nations when Islamic radicals are not vetted or held accountable.

WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris angrily dodged questions on border policy, Iran and President Biden’s fitness for office in an contentious interview with Fox News host Bret Baier — as more polls showed her losing the initiative in the race for the White House.
The 26-minute interview with the Democratic nominee kicked off with a tense grilling by Baier on immigration policy — with Harris repeatedly refusing to say that terminating former President Donald Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy was a mistake.
Baier’s first question schooled Harris about the effects of the current administration’s more permissive policies, which allow many illegal border-crossers to await asylum rulings inside the US, before asking

Anyone who watched even a few minutes of the Kamala Harris interview on FOX News knows it was a train wreck.
She unsuccessfully tried to blame Trump for the border crisis. She completely lost her composure and her handlers even ended it early.
It was the first time in this election cycle that she faced any tough questions and she completely cracked under pressure.
Despite this harsh reality, her defenders at CNN and elsewhere in the liberal bubble bent over backwards to try to claim that she actually did a great job.

Trump smiled and shot back, 'It's such an easy question.'
What happened Wednesday night to Kamala Harris on Fox News may have been the equivalent to what happened to President Joe Biden at that infamous debate in June — irreparably exposed her as unacceptable to voters.
In what was widely seen as a Hail Mary move by Kamala’s campaign, the vice president agreed to an extended interview on Fox News, one of the exceedingly few national TV interviews she’s done since she was anointed the Democrat Party’s post-Biden nominee. Remarkably, she offered nothing new in terms of her weak, often confusing answers to obvious questions, but she did finally face probing lines of inquiry and necessary follow-up

This is the first non-softball interview of her life and she totally cracked under pressure.
At one point a completely unhinged Kamala Harris began screaming about Trump and democracy.
Kamala Harris didn’t know what to say after Bret Baier confronted her about the state of the country. “More than 70% of people tell the country is on the wrong track. They say the country is on the wrong track. If it’s on the wrong track, that track follows 3.5 years of you being Vice President and President Biden being President.

The Democratic presidential nominee joined Baier for an interview aired on the Fox News Channel's Special Report Wednesday evening. It was her first ever interview for the conservative network.
The pair spoke over each other numerous times as Baier grilled the 59-year-old vice president on multiple topics including immigration right out of the gate.

'I'm talking like four people waving their hands like "it's got to stop,"' Baier described
Fox News’ Bret Baier interviewed Kamala Harris tonight. It was a total dumpster fire, with the vice president once again showing her awful elegance in evading answering the question, spewing non-answers, and being incapable of landing punches. She had plenty of time to take swipes at Trump, which she attempted, but they fell flat. Baier pressed Harris on her record, the immigration crisis, and essentially what she did and did not know about Joe Biden’s mental decline. She refused to answer the question—she’s pitiful at maneuvering.
What a nightmare of an interview! Three things were confirmed during this shambolic sit-down with Fox News’ Bret Baier: Kamala is unqualified, incapable of grasping the issues, and still dances with her 2020 demons. One of the criticisms of Harris during her failed 2020 campaign and vice presidency is that she criticizes staff and often ignores their briefings and memos, which would likely blunt the chances of her coming off as a total ignoramus.
Donald Trump has been nearly assassinated twice, but that didn’t stop the far-left Salon from claiming Trump and his supporters are “infected” with a “contagious disease” called “Authoritarian Violence Disorder” and that Trump “is a massive superspreader.” (I don’t link fake news meant to inspire assassins, which is what this obviously is.)

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump was “unqualified to be president” because he is “increasingly unstable and unhinged.”
Clinton said, “The vice president has pivoted toward the closing argument. The closing argument has two parts. The closing argument is what kind of country do we want to be? What kind of people are we? Do we want to be divided? Do we want to be set into arguments with each other that we can’t agree on solving our problems?

Arizona, a critical battleground state, has begun its early voting period for the November election, and voters are already making their voices heard at mailboxes and polling locations across the state.
The unexpected surge in early voting has been fueled by none other than former President Donald Trump himself.
Breaking from his previous criticism of mail-in voting, Trump has urged his supporters to utilize every voting option available this year, including early and absentee voting.
CBS News spoke to some leaders in the black community in Michigan today about the election and did not get the responses they were probably expecting.
This is just more proof that Kamala Harris and the Democrats have a very real problem with black voters this year. (Snip) “A lot of Black men are not into the Harris campaign, and I think this should have been done awhile ago,” one Black community leader said.
“I think it’s touch and go right now. I see shades of the Hillary Clinton campaign with the arrogance of a Democratic Party out of touch with the electorate,” one of the leaders said.
Fox News “Special Report” host Bret Baier claimed Wednesday that Kamala Harris’ campaign team pared down the allotted time he had with her just before a highly anticipated interview — and then had the vice president show up late.
Baier, a veteran political journalist, compared the Harris campaign’s tactics to a football team “icing the kicker” before an important field goal attempt.
“So, we were supposed to start at 5 p.m. — this was the time they gave us, originally. We’re going to do 25 or 30 minutes,” the host explained.
“They came in and said, ‘Well, maybe 20 [minutes].
“And then the vice president showed up at about 5:15 [p.m.].”
Four Kamala Harris staffers waved their arms pleading to end Harris’s much-anticipated but widely panned Fox News Channel’s Special Report interview, Bret Baier revealed Wednesday night.
Baier, who interviewed Kamala Harris, made the shocking revelation during the post-interview broadcast, saying he had many questions he was unable to ask Harris before the interview wrapped. “You know, I’m talking like four people waving their hands like, ‘it’s gotta stop!'” Baier told the panel.
