Over 200 people were killed by Hurricane Helene, with people in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia still struggling to recover from wind damage and flooding. Singleton noted that the Biden-Harris administration had given hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine compared to the response to the devastation in western North Carolina and other parts of the southeastern United States caused by the hurricane, after “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip pointed out that Russia started the Ukraine War.

“I agree with that. Putin obviously started the war. I am not negating that,” Singleton said. “My point is that a lot of people look at how much money we spent on this conflict and they‘re asking themselves, ‘My roads are crumbling, my schools suck. We just had major disasters across the country, FEMA doesn‘t have enough money.’”

“By the way, I don’t live in that country. I don‘t live in that country, by the way. America is not that horrible,” Stelter said, prompting Singleton to respond, “Brian, if you get out of New York and talk to regular people —”

Stelter interrupted Singleton, saying he wasn’t a resident of New York but was in a “normal city.”

“My roads are not — I love New York, but my roads are not crumbling, my schools don’t suck. I just get tired of the anti-America rhetoric,” Stelter claimed.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave American roads a “D” grade in March 2021, citing “staggering maintenance backlogs.” Schools have struggled to return to pre-pandemic levels of student performance, despite a $190 billion infusion from the Biden-Harris administration.

After some back-and-forth, Singleton told Stelter to let him finish making his point.

“There are a lot of Americans who don’t live in great cities, who do have to send their kids to terrible schools. That is a fact because of their zip codes,” Singleton said. “And to sit here arrogantly and say, ‘My kids go to great schools, I live in a great neighborhood,’ that‘s your experience, not the experience of most people in this country.”

“The roads are crumbling? Where —” Stelter asked, with Singleton cutting him off with, “Come on, bro.”

(DCNF)—Fox News host Harris Faulkner expressed surprise during a town hall with former President Donald Trump at how many women in the audience were worried about biological men playing women’s sports.

Faulkner hosted a town hall with an all-female audience, which aired Wednesday on “The Faulkner Focus.” She noted that “transgender issues” had become a major part of the campaign cycle before asking the audience how many worried about how it pertains to athletics.

“How many of you are worried about biological men and boys competing against women and girls in sports?” Faulkner asked the audience. “That’s almost – that is the entire room.”

WATCH:

A different shot showed virtually every woman in the audience within the camera’s field of view raising their hands.

“We stop it. We stop it. We absolutely stop it. You can’t have it. It’s a man playing in the game,” Trump said after being asked a question on the topic by a woman whose granddaughters are involved in sports. “I mean, physically from a muscular standpoint. Even if it was a little bit less, maybe they do all sorts of tests and drugs and everything else. Look at what’s happened in swimming. Look at the records that are being broken.”

“You just ban it, the president bans it. You just don’t let it happen,” Trump said after Faulkner asked how he would address the issue.

Multiple college teams elected to forfeit matches against San Jose State University’s women’s volleyball team due to the presence of a biological male on the roster, according to the Los Angeles Times. The transgender player spiked a ball into the face of a San Diego State University player during an Oct. 10 match, the New York Post reported.

North Carolina high school volleyball player Payton McNabb suffered a concussion after a transgender player’s spike hit her in the face during a September 2022 volleyball match. She described ongoing medical symptoms in a legislative testimony given in April 2023.

(DCNF)—CNN analyst Ana Navarro lashed out at former Republican Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado of California Monday night, claiming he was “okay with racism” after he defended former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on immigration.

Trump has made substantial gains with Hispanic voters heading into the November election due to issues like immigration and the economy. Navarro expressed incredulity at Trump’s support among Hispanics.

“One of the things that I found really interesting about that poll also, was that the majority of Latinos think that when Donald Trump is making anti-immigrant remarks and when he’s making, you know, talking with racial slurs and the things he says that we all have heard him say, they think it doesn’t apply to them,” Navarro said after CNN host Anderson Cooper showed a New York Times/Siena College poll revealing that 37% of Hispanic voters backed Trump. “And I have a really hard time understanding that because I, you know, when the shooter showed up at the Walmart in El Paso and shot 22 people and then there were another 22 victims, he didn‘t stop to ask the people if they were legal or if they were undocumented, he just shot people because they look like Latinos and he went to El Paso because there was where Latinos went and he was hunting down Latinos inspired by anti-immigrant rhetoric.”

WATCH:

“And so to me it boggles the mind that somebody who looks like you, who looks like me, who sounds like you, who sounds like me, think that when he is making anti-immigrant racial offenses, it doesn’t apply,” Navarro lectured Maldonado after he mentioned Trump’s increased support among Hispanic voters.

Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck-and-neck in the 2024 presidential race with each receiving 48% support in an NBC News poll released Sunday, with the former president leading the sitting vice president on who was more trusted to handle immigration by a 56% to 31% margin.

“I think Anderson, when President Trump is talking, he’s talking about criminal folks that are being sent to our country… He’s not talking about Latinos that are coming here to work hard, there is a process to come here…” Maldonado responded.

“Do you think a racist is going to ask for your immigration papers?” Navarro interrupted, then repeating the question.

After further back and forth, Maldonado pointed out that he is on the “Trump 47” bus.

“That means you’re okay with racism,” Navarro claimed.

Harris has backed away from several left-wing positions on health care, gun control, illegal immigration and fracking that she held during her campaign for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president. Scarborough said that her latest campaign has done well responding to her past policy statements, but that they need to be aware of commercials that could sway voters, citing one noting her past support for taxpayer-funded sex change operations for illegal immigrants.

WATCH:

“By the way, just for people that are watching going, ‘Wait, how could they not, how could they not vote for Kamala Harris?’ What they’re seeing, and I saw it this weekend while I was watching football games, commercial after commercial after commercial after commercial of Kamala Harris in 2019 saying that she supported federal funding for transition operations,” Scarborough told “Morning Joe” panelist John Heilemann.

“Well, and they get quotes from her in 2019 where she was trying to be more woke than anybody else in 2019. And I think the campaign has done a good job cleaning a lot of that stuff up. They need to look at the commercials that are being run over and over and over again,” Scarborough continued.

Harris told the American Civil Liberties Union in 2019 she would ensure that illegal immigrants being detained would have access to sex-change procedures at taxpayer expense.

“I support policies ensuring that federal prisoners and detainees are able to obtain medically necessary care for gender transition, including surgical care, while incarcerated or detained,” she said. “Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment.”

Harris leads former President Donald Trump by 2.2% in the RealClearPolling average of polls from September 19 to October 2, with the vice president’s lead dropping to 2% when Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West, Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are included in surveys.

“Because again, it’s not you or me in Florida or New York that they need to worry about. It’s the guys in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, that are looking —” Scarborough said, before Heilemann interrupted with additional cities, “— who are watching sports on streaming channels.”

United States District Judge Tanya Chutkan of the District of Columbia released Smith’s brief, which sought to address the Supreme Court’s July 1 ruling regarding presidential immunity in the election interference case, Wednesday evening over the objection of Trump’s attorneys. McCarthy said that most judges would have expressed concerns over the effects the release of the brief would have on potential jurors.

“The point of this was to try to get this information, which has been hashed out again and again before the American people. None of this is new, but the idea was to get the evidence out in as spectacular a way as possible. And by Smith’s light, hopefully get Trump convicted in the run-up to the election in hopes of influencing the outcome of the election. And now we have the release of this book-length size recitation of Smith’s case under circumstances where there is no possibility of having this trial before November and there was no reason to have it brought out in public now.”

WATCH:

“In fact, in most cases, a judge would be concerned about, for example, poisoning or prejudicing against the defendant a jury pool. In most cases a judge would be very concerned that evidence not be broadcast in public without the usual due process cautions that go on in a trial that the defendant be presumed innocent, the fact that allegations are not evidence of anything,” McCarthy continued. “The point of releasing this now can only be to affect the election. There is no legal need for it.”

Smith secured a superseding indictment against Trump on Aug. 27, after the Supreme Court ruled former president had immunity for official acts. McCarthy noted the release of the brief was in contrast to how the Justice Department addressed allegations surrounding Hunter Biden.

“That’s kind of an unwritten rule of common sense you don’t do anything that you don’t have to do publicly for purposes of being perceived trying to put your thumb on the scale of the election, but there is no hard and fast rule about that,” McCarthy told “America’s Newsroom” co-anchor Dana Perino, referencing Trump’s Truth Social post accusing Smith of violating a Justice Department policy not to take actions that could affect an election in the 60 days before voters head to the polls.

Smith’s brief focused on conversations Trump had with then-Vice President Mike Pence, including a Dec. 21, 2020 lunch in which Pence reportedly urged Trump to view the results of the election as “an intermission.”

“I think he does have a point that the rules have been slanted against him and for example, all deference was given to President Biden and Hunter Biden to keep the Hunter Biden stuff under wraps in the run-up to the 2020 election,” McCarthy continued.

Walz signed legislation in 2023 that mandated schools have tampons available in both boys’ and girls’ restrooms, prompting former President Donald Trump and others to call him “Tampon Tim.” Sanders-Townsend claimed that Vance would have to resort to “stolen valor” allegations that have dogged Walz.

“I think that if they’re gonna attack Governor Walz, the Trump campaign and J.D. Vance on that stage, he might try to do so on his military record,” Sanders-Townsend claimed. “And I think he has to have a very strong answer, push and pivot back to the issues. I think that’s one of the biggest vulnerabilities.”

WATCH:

“I actually don’t think his record as governor is vulnerable at all because what he has done as governor, make sure children have food to eat at school so that they could learn, protect women’s autonomy that they can make their own decisions, provide tampons and sanitary products for young girls in schools so that you don’t have an embarrassing moment so they can focus on learning,” Sanders-Townsend added, before telling MSNBC host Ana Cabrera that Minnesota was one of the five best states for business.

Vance accused Walz of “stolen valor” at an Aug. 7 campaign event, citing comments Walz made in a video posted by the Harris campaign where he suggested he carried weapons “in war.”

A 2018 letter and Facebook post by retired Army Command Sergeant Major Thomas Behrends accusing Walz of avoiding a deployment to Iraq prior to his run for Congress resurfaced after he was chosen as Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate in August.
